WASHINGTON, Dec. 28. The >>
i problem has h id Its Influence
on the movement <<( International com
merri- during the month, according to ;i
statement Issued by the bureau of sta
tlnti , department <>f commerce and
labor.
While the statement declares it I" Im
possible to determine to what extent
Inadequate transportation facilities af
fectr'ri the movemen of grain, live stock
and meal products, and In some local*
itles lumber and coal In November, ii
■ays It can undoubtedly be affirmed
that they would have been imirh
heavier had the railroads been fully
able to enpr with the situation.
A marked decline Is shown In move
ments of certain imported staples, when
compared with November of last year,
but an Increase for the eleven month!
Of the present year.
The total livestock receipts at seven
Interior primary markets during No
vember aggregated 3.534,117 head. I tall-
Ing off of about 300,000 head from the
same month i>r last year. For the
eleven months of the- present year like
arrivals aggregated 37,442,12!) head, com
pared with 37,089,707 head for the like
period of 1905.
A considerable falling oft is shown In
Rhlpments In packing house products
from Chlci.go during November, there
being a total of 21R.110.712 pounds,
against 296,060,362 for the same period
of 1905.
The moat noticeable decline is shown
in receipts of grain. The total figures

bushels In November, 1905.
For the eleven months of the present
year grain receipts aggregated 722,944,
871 bushels, exec ding like months in
1905 by more than 11,500,000 bushels.
Deceraeses which occurred in the re
ceipts of wheat, barley and rye were
offset by an increase In the receipts of
com and oats.
FORTY WEST ROADS HESITATE
Some Cannot Afford to Increase
Wages, They Say
By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Dec. 28.— The probability
of serious trouble between the forty
western railroads and their employes
■who have demanded a 15 per cent in
crease in wages has become more likely.
The managers of the roads affected
met yesterday and decided that no
action would be taken until the train
men made fresh overtures.
Meanwhile representatives of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and the Brotht'ilviod of Locomotive
Engineers from each of the roads met
to await a reply to their demands. They
had known that the managers were to
meet and awaited iin expected invita
tion to a conference but none was re
ceived. Three meetings of the two
brotherhoods were held during the
morning, afternoon and evening. The
meeting broke up with the threat that
feotllethlng would be doing pretty quick
if they wore not recognized.
Chairman Benjamin Thomas of the
bourd of managers committee refused
to make any statement as to what had
been done at the meeting which <vas of
less than an hour's duration.
The trouble seems to be that few
roads can afford an increase in operat
ing expenses. An increase of 10 per
cent in the wages of all the trainmen,
it is said, would take away the small
remaining chances of dividends, and
these roads would prefer to take
chances with a strike rather than grant
the increased wages without making an
effort to ward off the blow.
MORE PAY FOR 30,000 HANDS
New York Central Announces an Im.
mediate Increase
NEW YORK, Dec. 28.— 1t was an
nounced ypstprday from the office of
Treating Wrong Disease.
Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine,
one from dyspepsia, another from heart
disease, another from liver or kidney
disease, another from nervous exhaustion
or prostration, another with pain hero and
there, and in this way they all present
alike to themselves and their easy-going
and indifferent, or over-busy doctor, sep-
arate and distinct diseases, for which he,
assuming them to be such, prescribes his
pills and potions. In reality, they are all
only tymptama caused by some uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant of the
cau(« of suffering, encourages tills prac-
tice until large bills are made. The suf-
fering patient gets no better, but probably .
worse, by reason of the delay, wrong
treatment and consequent complications.
A proper medicine like Dr. Pierces Fa-
vorite Prescription, directed to the cavse
would hare entirely removed the disease
thereby dispelling all those distressing
symptoms, and institut.ng comfort In-
stead- of prolonged misery. It has been
well said, that "a disease known is naif
cured." !
Dr. Pierces Favorite Prescription Is a I
scientific medicine, carefully devised by i
an eiperlenced and skillful physician,
and adapted to woman's delicate system.
It is made of native medicinal roots and
Is perfectly harmless in its effects in any
condition of the system.
As a powerful Invigorating tonic "Fa-
vorite Prescription Imparts strength to
the whole system and to the organs dis-
tinctly feminine In particular. For over-
worked, "worn-out." "run-down," debili- j
tated teachers, milliners, dressmakers' .
seamstresses, "shopgirls," house-keepers,
nursing mothers, ana feeble women gen-
•rally, Dr. Pierce* Favorite Prescription
IS the greatest earthly boon, being un-
equaled as an appetizing cordial and re-
storative tonic.
As a soothing and strengthening nerv-
ine "Favorite Prescription " is unequal*!

duing nervous excitability. Irritability

neuralgia, hysteria, spasms, chorea, St.

ous symptoms commonly attendant upon
functional and organic disease of the
uterus. It Induces refreshing sleep and
relieves mental anxiety and despondency.

OWNERS BOOST
SUBWAY SCHEME
SAY IT WILL ENHANCE VALUES
BEYOND TUNNELS
Will Sacrifice Footways Rather Than
See Enterprise Delayed Longer.
• No Further Delays to
Be Brooked
, All the forces favoring the granting
of franchises, permits, privileges or
grants to the Harriman Interests to i
build subways and tunnels, cross I
streets and exter ' their trolley lines in
Los Angeles got together yesterday for
the purpose of giving the movement a
hard boost.
Property owners interested in the
Improvement associations north of the
proposed tunnels were especially active
in inducing their friends to see the
councilman and induce them not to put
any further stumbling blocks, in the
way of getting the five millions which i
Harriman says he will spend on the 1
Los Angeles-Pacific and Intel-urban |
lines improvements as a starter.
For a time It seemed that there
would be a hitch over the construction
of a footway through the tunnels. The I
associations' committees were Inclined
to demand that tin y be put In for the
benefit of pedestrians going to and
from the hill district on the north.
The Harriman agents, however, said
that footways would result in the use
fulness of the tunnels being Impaired
as the plans call for an 'nclosed under-,
ground channel designed to permit
trains to go through ;.t full speed in i
order to make a ten-minute run to i
Hollywood and a twenty-minute run to I
the beaches,
Now the Information has leaked out)
thai the associations will merely try to;
get the footways, but under no cii'cum- ■
Htuncee will they he urged or demanded !
if it delays the subway enterprise*.']
Nothing Is to be allowed to stand In the i
way of granting the privileges with this
usual safeguards. Such Is the sent!
ment of the property owners near the I
tunnels as expressed by the men who ■
represent them at the city hall hoar- •
ings. . !
Realty history is that an Immediate >
advance In values follows the mere I
announcement that a tunnel will be!
built and the prospect has stimulated I
values in the Temple and First street
sections notlceab'*-. ,:<./■■
For that reason the members of the
associations want the city to hurry up
with the grants. They have for veins
labored to induce the trolley company |
to agree to pay part of the cost of the
tunnel, and now that the company pro- I
poses to do even more it in felt that no I
hindrance should be permitted. The
city will gain much In taxes because Of
the increased values, it is argued.
City Attorney Mathews and Assistant i
Hewitt spent all day yesterday with
tin- engineers and attorneys of the trol- 1
ley roads, and at times members of the I
board of public works and str/eet de
partment men were called Into con
ferenee. Descriptions of the property
sought to be traversed or undermined
are being set out In legal phraseology
and expert assistance was required.
Every effort is being made to have
the proposed permits ready for presen
tation Monday.
ii they are not ready councilmen say
they will be prepared to. pass a docu
ment prepared on correct lines by the
trolley representatives In order to get
the grants through with the year's end.

LOOK INTO FREIGHT BOOKS
United States Grand Jury Examines
Santa Fe Records in Presence
of Auditor
The members of the United States
grand jury passed yesterday afternoon
investigating the Santa Fe freight
records.
G . A. Davidson, auditor of the road,
was present at the session, but his
friends say he is there either to pro
duce the records or give excuses for
not doing so.
An indictment must be based on
figures taken from the railroad books
which indicate rebates. Personal evi
dence is discredited, and this is the
reason United States District Attor
ney Lawler is making such strenuous
efforts to get the books into court.

GIANT STRENGTH
SAVES HIS LIFE
WORKMAN CLINGS TO FLY
WHEEL
Is Revolved Through the Air Rapidly,
but Clings to Spokes Like
Grim Death and
Survives
Clinging desperately to the fly wheel
of the gasoline engine on which he had
been working, C. A. Burgman, a stick
erman employed by the West Coast
Planing Mill company, was whirled
around and around through the air
yesterday morning; and it was only by
almost superhuman strength that he
tlung to the spokes In spite of the in
tense pain and saved his life.
It Is part of Bargman's work to
start the twenty-five horse-power en
gine at the mill each morning. Yester
day he went as usual to his work and,
with tho negro engineer, Jim Brown,
approached the machine. Both men
climbed on the wheel to give it Its
first impulse and Brown then jumped
and turned the switch before Barg
man could leave the wheel.
The gasoline in the cylinder at once
exploded and the wheel began turning
at a frightful rate with Bargman
clinging to the spokes. Brown at once
turned off the current and did all In
his power to stop the wheel.' He suc
ceeded in doing so a few minutes later
and Burgman dropped exhausted to the
ground.
A groat deal of skin had been torn
from his left leg below the knee and he
suffered two lacerations near the ankle.
Bargman'l escape Is consideded little
short of miraculous. Had he loosened
his hold for a second he would have
been dashed to the floor and probably
killed. The accident was in some re
gpecta similar to the one In. which
frank Uiaves, nlso a stickerman, lost
his life in unother planing mill Thurs
day Graves wan caught in a pulley
»rid was whirled aroupd the shaft sev
eral time* before dropping to the floor.
He lived for several hours after the
Accident, but died at the receiving hos-
P a coroner's jury brought in a verdict
of accidental death In his case yester
ciuy. ,
