Wednesday, and remained fast for several
hours during which time she was surrounded

FORM AS ANTITRUST AND ELECTION
OF SENATORS BY POPULAR VOTE.
Chicago, June 23-General Russell A. Alger'
Secretary OF War; announced here to-day tha'
he is in the Michigan Senatorial fight with
antitrust" and election OF Senator'S by direct
vote OF the people" on his banners.
The General is at present at the home OF MS
daughter. Mrs Charles Pike. after his trip In
Northern Michigan and Minnesota He gave MS
platform on the heels of Its announcement by
Governor Pingree Who commented the Sec
retary OF War always gets in ahead"
1T is perhaps a little early to say that trusts
and trust legislation are to be great factors
in coming elections said Secretary Alger.
"Other issues OF greater Importance may arise,
but, however that may be- II is certain that the
widespread spirit OF consolidation OF great finan-
cial interests is an evil which must be con-
tended against legisatively. am foe to these
great amalgamations, and believe In the election
OF Senator'S by a direct vote OF the people. AS
Governor Pngree states, on these planks VIII
stand
THE concentration OF wealth In trusts Is
detrimental to the interests OF the people. II
squeezes the small dealer out OF business. and.
greatest Of all, eliminates the middleman and
stiles competition. With a certain commodity
controlled by one man or a coterie Of men, they
are not compelled to seek customers The dealer
must come TO the trust take what he can get
and pay without a murmur the price asked.
Everywhere manufacturers are meeting TO
agree increases in their prices for articles
manufactured from raw material and monopo-
lized by trust. This Is noticeable In articles
in which iron and steel used. The results OF
monopoly are so apparent and have been so
widely discussed that further comment Is not
necessary am not an extremist but the
growing tendency TO absorb certain part of
the industries OF the country into one big COM
pany that others may be frozen out and a
monopoly secured. s a matter for consideration
by legislators on behalf Of the people, who are
vitally interested.
The present system OF electing Senators
through the agency Of the Legislature Is one
which has always had its critics, and | believe
the criticism is Just. l think the direct vote Is
the better method and, while the attainment OF
this end will doubtless take years 1t Is worth
Iaborine for. A Senatorial fight In State
Legislature generally sends to Congress man
who is more the representative of machine
than Of the people.
"The contest in Michigan for the nomination
will be n fair stand-up fight. Mr. Mcmillan,
aided I believe by Burrows, will try for re-
nomination Governor Pingree has shown him
self very friendly to me, especially since the be-
ginning OF the war. 1t IS too early to make CAL
culations on the strength Of the forces whch
will contend but there will not be TWO hepuoi-
ran candidates in the feld-nothing to disrupt
the party

mine owned by George e. Sickle and
others of Angels Camp. There a tun-

owners have great hopes Of striking
rich ore when this is accomplished.
Across the river from this property,

by J. II. Newcomer. A San Francisco
company now has a working bond on
the property, and operations are in pro-

and it is the intention of the company
soon to erect two-stamp prospecting

Adjoining this mine is one owned and
being worked by Pete Capello and Bart

present running a tunnel that will
crosscut the ledge at a depth of l2O
feet. A shaft has already been sunk
to depth Of sixty feet on the ledge

FAIR WILL CASE.
Trust Features Reargued Before
Supreme Court.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 14--The re-
argument of the trust features of the
will of the late Senator James d. Fair
came up to-day before the Supreme
Court in bank.
The trustees of the estate, the chill
dren of the deceased millionaire and
the minor heirs who are children of
Mrs. Herman Oelrichs, We're all repre-
sented by the counsel. Judge Hayne,
for the trustees, attacked the decision
of Judge Slack in the Superior Court
against the trust clause, contending
that it was erroneous, and that the
trust made by Fair was valid and per-
Missile under the laws of this State.
Attorney Wheeler, for the Fair chill
dren, contended that the trust was
void, and that Fair had no power to
ALLEVIATE his property as set forth in his
will.
The argument lasted until late in the
afternoon.
The decision will be rendered later.
