"At another, time E# G. Borden met
me in. front of the Merchants' ex

,«I am going to settle all this trouble

Dr. -Perrin had come great influ

that Taft was favorable to Dr. Perrin.

Xo my attorney, Louis P. Boardman.
"Some time ago 1 vr&s sent for and

Jied to us, for he said he ha<l arranged

he eaid, 'Tes.' • O'Rork asked me many

Statham also visited Snell's home
•w-hen Snell was not present, and had a
3ong talk with the I&tter's wife, urging
her to induce her husband to assist

Karlirr overtures were .made by. Cap

THREE RAILROADS FIGHT
FOR CANADIAN ROUTES
Bank of Frazer River the Cen«
ter of Contest
VANCOUVER, B. C, July 13.— The
most portentous move yet made in, a
big railroad war shaping up between
the Canadian Pacific; Canadian North
ern and Grand Trunk Pacific railways
in British Columbia, came today in an
official announcement that the Canadian
Pacific intends to have a second line
across British Columbia, occupying both
banks of the precipitous canyon of the
Frazer river, under an old charter.
The Canadian Pacific's extension of
the Nelson to Midway line is surveyed
through the Similkameen valley to
Spencer bridge -and tnen down through
the Frazer canyon on the south side of
the river. It is said a very light grade
along the river has boen obtained. It
is said to be an impossibility to build
another line on the north side of the
Frazer.
The Canadian Northern and Grand
Trunk Pacific are botli heading for the
south bank.
The contract for building 180 miles of
the Grand Trunk Pacific between Mc-
Leod river and Tete Juane Cache 50
miles west of the Yellowhead pass, has
been awarded to Foley, Welsh and
Stewart. It is announced that the line
will be completed by the end of 1911

SMILE TOR HEALTH,
SAYS STOMACH MAN
Cheerfulness First Station on
Road to Domestic and
Business Success
Attitude Toward Others Regu
lated Largely by Condition
of Digestion
COOPEBISMS.
Happineis is , the birthright and the duty of
every man and woman.
We must t*k» hard knocks with a laugh in order
to conquer them. ,
Health hinges directly on the mental attitude.
In just the tame degree this rule -works both
ways. -A bad liver meant a bad temper.
Chronic constipation often cautes chronic rheu
matitm, and that means a chronic "grouch."
"Cheerfulness is the first station on
the royal • road to success in business
life or social affairs," said the Cooper
"stomach man" yesterday. Cooper is
the easterner who has stirred a storm
of comment in the bay cities by his
unusual theories in health matters. He
believes most chronic ill health is
caused by nothing but stomach trouble.
Continuing, he crisply expounded hii
opinions as follows:
"Happiness is the birthright and duty
of every - man. and woman. Not only
does it pay greater dividends than any
other investment, but it is absolutely
necessary in our dealings with other
people in order to perform our full ob
ligations to ourselves. We must smile
to retain the respect of the world and
to win new friends. We must take
hard knocks with a laugh in order to
conquer ithem. We must meet the
petty vexations of social affairs and
domestic life with good humor, or we
are defaulting in the debt we owe our
Creator. •
"Health hinges directly on our men
tal attitude. Bad temper, wrong
thoughts, jealousy, envy or too much
self-pity result in a disordered liver,
bad blood, headaches and nervous irri
tability. We become soured toward
the world, face it with a glum gaze —
and the world in the persons of our
friends and associates is sure to return
the sour looks, ugly glare for ugly
glare — witli a little added venom. -' .
"In just the same degree this rule
works both ways. If our physical
bodies get out of order a mental re
action is sure to follow. Overeating
and too little outdoor exercise is the
curse of our modern civilization. We
stuff our bodies with all the food we
can eat, with no regard to the de
mands to be put on the physical system.
The man who works indoors all day.
and the tight corseted woman whose
principal task is housework or social
affairs, think they must eat as much as
the day laborer.
"When the stomach -is overloaded,
the digestive machinery gets clogged
and won't work and all kinds of dis
eases follow. A bad liver means a
bad temper. A brace of balky kidneys
means a gloomy outlook on everything.
Impure blood causes headaches, wrecks
our mental poise and peace of mind
and makes us hate , our . ; neighbor.
Chronic constipation • often /causes
chronic rheumatism, ( and that means a
chronic 'grouch.' ; :•.
; "Thousands ,of San Francisco people
are half sick all of the time, droopy,
tired and feel 'all worn out.' In 95
cases out of 100 this is caused by
stomach -trouble. I know this, because
more than 50,000 persons -have come to
talk with me since I have been meet
ing the people at the Owl drug store
in the Phelan building. My system of
medical treatment has been extraordi
narily successful in practically every
case because it is nature's way of cur-
Ing disease." #
KOREANS REJOICE THAT
EMPEROR KEEPS GUARD
Japanese Now Control War De-
partment and Prisons
SEOUL., July 15.— The news of the
new agreement between Japan and
Korea, arranging for the transfer of
Korean judicial autonomy to Japan, is
being quietly accepted here, now that
it is known that the disbanding of the
court guards was not ' included in the
abolition of the Korean war office.
The, guards are not to be discharged,
but merely placed under the command
of the emperor's aide de camp.
The convention between the two
countries relative to the transfer was
signed July 12,- and besides the
changes mentioned passes control of
Korean prisons to the Japanese.
Convention Is Welcomed
TOKYO, July 15. — Count - Komura,
minister of foreign affairs, was grant
ed an audience with the -emperor to
day. The new convention with Korea
was the chief topic of -discussion
Prince r lto, president ;of the Japanese
privy council, left Fusan, Korea, today
en. route to Tokyo, bringing a- copy of
the document with him. -
Many Japanese papers welcome the
new convention as the last step inxthe
initial stage of Japan's administration
of Korea. \u25a0•-\u25a0 . - - . •
TRAIN DISPATCHERS ON
MEXICAN LINES RESIGN
Americans Show Dissatisfaction
With Innovations in Offices
MEXICO CITY, July 15.— The desig
nation of; the entire, body of train-dis
patchers, including chiefs, of_ the Na
tional Railroads lines of Mexico were
handed in in a blanket form yesterday.
The chief point for which- the dis
patchers contended was revocation of
orders issued by the general officers of
the National railway July 1 to /he ef
fect that each superintendent should
select two native telegraphers employed
in their respective . divisions and j place
them in the dispatchers' office as copy
operators with the right to handle
train' order^. ; "
It Is contended by the dispatchers,
most, of whom ; are , Americans, that
the orders showed the desire on the
part of the officials ' to break in native
dispatchers* and carry s out the avowed
intention of the management^ of the
system to employ Mexican labor wher
ever and whenever possible.

"The work of reorganization inso

DENIES INTENTION
TO ELECTRIZE ROAD
Kruttschnitt . Says Steam Will
Be Used on All But the '
Sacramento Division
CHICAGO, July 15. — Reports from
New York and California, indicating
that E. H. Ilarriman has authorized the
expenditure of millions for , the elec
trization of the Southern Pacific, were
scouted today by Julius Kruttschnitt,
director of maintenance "and operation
of the Union Pacific-Southern Pacific
system. •
Kruttschnitt not only denied that
electrization. of any of the Southern Pa
cific's lines was in prospect, but assert
ed that two of the biggest steam loco
motives''in the world, which recently
passed through Chicago for service on
the heavy mountain grades, were plenty
good enough for some time .to come,
in fact, he said, .21 more had been or
dered.
Kruttschnitt admitted many investi
gations had been made for utilizing
the water power resources along the
Southern Pacific to pull heavy trains
over the mountains by electricity, but
declared no decision had been reached.
"We. are still studying .electrical op
eration and water power^ development,"
he said, i
"Recent* improvements in electrical
operation are evidence that .we did
right in proceeding slowly. However,
we have never contemplated electrizing
any portion of the line, except the sec
tion of the Sacramento division over
the. mountains for a distance of about
110 miles, between the sea level point
on the west and the base -of the in
terior plateau."
