Chairman of Santa Fe Directors
Writes About Combinations.
AIdace F. Walker Says Federal
Legislation t. Responsible.
1T CUTS OFF REVENUE
Evils of Absolute Combinations
Are Very Great.
Combination May Be Checked by
Reversal of Legislation.

AIdace F. Walker, chairman OF the
board Of directors for the Santa Fe, has
also taken the stand that railroad COM
binatiOns are the result Of laws against
pooling With him on this proposition
besides great many railroad men may
be numbered Paul Morton, third vice
president OF the Santa Fe. Mr.. walker
lately contributed an article to a. maya
zine upon this topic, part OF which reads
thus:
Federal legislation is chiefly respon-
sible for the present movement in the
direction of railway combinations. To
be specific. associations OF title and of
interest among competing railways are
compelled by two federal laws; one the
anti-pooling provision Of the Interstate
commerce law and the other, the anti
association provision of the antitrust
law; both in their operation being in
consistent with any conceivable scheme
Of statutory regulation.
Railways pools as heretofore en-
ployed in this country and as still Gus
tomary in other countries afford an in
ternal regulation Of the competitive ex-
travagances; they were forbidden in the
United States by an unfortunate and in
consistent section in the interstate COM
merce law Thereupon railway associa-
tons were devised as a. less effective
form of similar internal regulation.
These also were forbidden by the anti
trust law as construed by the supreme
court, which conceived that extreme
competition between railways was the
legislative demand. But uncontrolled
railway competition means the extin-
guishment of railway revenue Legis-
lative conditions have thus become such
that railroad values can not be pre-
served, and railroad service can not be
performed under the federal laws ap-
plicable to the business of railroad
transportation; hence railway combina-
tons become the only recourse.
In view Of present conditions it IS
impossible to resist the feeling that it
would have been far more consistent
with the interests of the general public
to establish laws that would have per-
mitted competing railways to maintain
their independence under arrangements
suitably framed for the restraint of
competitive excess Legislation has
played into the hands Of capitalists by
affOrding a logical reason for railway
combinations. Even now the combina-
ton movement may be checked by a re-
versal of the legislative attitude; that
is by authorizing measures under which
the individual existence of competing
railways may be preserved. Undoubt-
eddy this should be done, and the inter
state commerce commission makes this
recommendation. The potential evils
Of absolute combinations are undoubt-
eddy greater than the potential evils of
uOOls and associations. N

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
ATROUT DECOY.
TFrom the Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle1
There is one fish owned by the state
of Colorado which win in all probable
ity never bangle at the end of a line to
make sport for some angler Instead it
win snbsist peacefully on ground liver
and be petted and cared for at the
Brighton fish hatchery, Of which E. L
Hager is superintendent. For this fish
is the guiding spirit among all the small
fry and leads them not only in the paths
of Righteousness, but into the pools
where Mr. Hager desires that they
should stay.
The fish at the hateheries are kept in
several small pools in order that they
may be separated according to their
ally it was desired to clean these pools
or make some alteration in them This
used to cause a. great deal of trouble
for the Superintendent. It was almost
impossible to get all the fish out of
the pools without killing many of them.
They were so small that they could cas-
lily slip through the rneshes OF an ordi-
nary net, and many of them were
crushed in the net. Unless the pool
was cleaned ever so often the fish would
die.
During Mr. Hager's superintendency
he has made an especial pet of one Of
the largest trout in the fisheries.
Whenever he fed the fish this trout
was always among the first to come to
him, and finally grew so daring that II
would snap at pieces of the liver
which he held in his hand. Whenever
he appeared on the walks surrounding
the pool this trout would always come
to him. and as he walked around the
pool It would follow him. The other
fish in the pool learned that the big
trout always got most Of the good things
to eat and consequently grew to a
good-sized procession whenever the big
trout assumed the role of leader
Finally Mr.. Hager had an inspiration
One day when he wanted to clean the
pool which was the big trout's home he
opened the inlet leading into another
pool and got his procession started by
holding out a handful of ground liver
toward the big trout, which thereupon
was willing to follow him anywhere.
In this way Mr.. Hager conducted all
the fish into the other pool without the
slightest difficulty and without losing
any of them Since then whenever he
has wished to clean any Of the pools ne
has first secured the big trout and then,
with it for a, leader. he has had no diff
ficulty in getting the rest Of the hnny
population out of the way.

Incendiaries Attempt to Burn
Four Chicago HOstelries.

Chicago, Feb. 15.-Fires were set sim
uItaneously on four floors of the Palmer
House last evening and So minutes later
fires were discovered on two floors of the
Great Northern hotel. Two men SuppOs-
ed to be hotel thieves were seen to run
from the Palmer House. During the ex-
element $500 worth of jewelry was sto-
len from one of the rooms Of the Great
Northern
About the same time blaze was dis
covered in the Sherman House
Another hotel fire of suspicious origin
had been discovered only "a hours be-
fore. The four fires convince the police
that an organized gang of incendiaries
is operating in Chicago. Good descrip-
tons have been secured of the two men
who were seen running from the Palm
er House and a number g detectives are
at work on the case.
The four fires, with time of discovery
and attending Incidents, We're:
Palmer House-F'Our fires set Smut
taneously in baskets Of linen on differ
ent floors. Towels saturated with kero-
sene found. Fire extinguished by guests
and employees. Two suspects seen, but
allowed to escape Damage nominal.
Great Northern hotel-Simultaneo
fires discovered on H and ] floors. Odor
Of kerosene on H floor. J. H. First of

discovered IN linen closet Damage mont
inal.
Sherman House--The blaze was on an
upper floor and was attended with little
commotiOn. Damage 800.
The most dangerous fire in the Palmer
House was on the fifth floor. It was ex-
tinguished at personal risk by John Nc
Williams, Jr., a senior at Princeton uu-
iversity.
The police agreed that all the fires
were incendiary and every important
down town hosiery was guarded by
detail of officers in plain clothes watch
ing for the men suspected Of having
started the fires. These officers, as web
as the hotel managers. adopted the the
ory that each blaze was started by some
discharged hotel employee who wished to
satisfy his grudge and was able to do so
through his intimate knowledge of OBJ
portunities. A telephone message was
received at the Palmer House when the
second fire at the Great Northern was in
progress:

asked 1.-THE Great Northern is burning

TFron the London Chronicle.1
The giraffe is now one OF the rareSt
of quadrupeds, a fact due to the per-
sistence with which it has been hunted,
and but for the care with which the In
dian elephant has been domesticated
and bred, it too might have declined as
a race, a fate that may soon overtalxe
typical illustrations which we have Of
the short and eharp determination of
an animal race is that of a big I'M
wie1dIy animal called the rhytina, a
near relative OF the sea COW, one spe-
cies Of which, the manatee, is not I'M
common in geological collections. These
animals have no hind limbs; their fore
limbs exist as f1ippers and their tail is
set horizontally, as IN the whale. The
rhytina was discovered about the mid
die of the eighteenth century on a small
island off the Kamtchatkan coast
called Behring'S island. It was here Ber-
ing himself was wrecked, and Steller,
who was naturalist to the expedition,
described the rhytina. the specific name
Of which, accordingly, is Cor Was) stel-

and afforded good eating, the latter an
