that he had misrep-esented his
habits in the application, Mrs. Emma
C. Anderson of this city, has entered
suit against the Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company to recover the value
of a $1,000 policy. The policy was
issued in 1892, and the company re-

PRIMARY BEFORE SUPREME COURT.
Will Probably Come up for Final
Decision Next Week.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, May 1.-Arguments will
probably be delivered before the SUI
prsme court early next week in the
mandamus suit brought to test the
censtitutionalIty of the new primary
election law. The only point in
v0lved in the legal test is whether
the legislature had the constitutional
right to make primary elections OBJ
ligatory, the contention being set up
that this Is an abrogation of the
vested rights of political parties.
Eminent council will argue the man
damus, and an early decision is eX-
pected so as to set the question at
rest before the congressional cleo
lions.

cAhAoA's BIG SCHEME.
Project for State Owned Cables and
Land TeIegraphs to Circle the
Globe.

OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. 15.-The agi.
tation in certain influential quarters
of the dominion, which began with
the inception of the all-British Pacific
cable scheme, in favor of state-own-
ed cables and land telegraphs has re-
ceived fresh impetus from the
eminent Canadian scientist, Sir Sand
ford Fleming of Ottawa. He now
comes forward with proposition for
a state-owned telegraph service, grid
ling the globe. and Is urging upon
the dominion government two impor-
tant schemes to consummate this OBJ
ject, viz, government cable across
the Atlantic Ocean, and the acquisi-
ton of the Canadian land telegraphs
by the postoffice department. 1t is
part of the constructive policy of the
present government of Canada to op-
crate telegraph system embracing
the features promoted by Sir San.
ford Fleming, and the recent visit of
Marconi to the capital may hasten
governmental action in respect there
to.
Sir Sandford shows that state
owned Atlantic cable Is essential to
complete the all-British telegraph line
from Australia to England; that It
would be a paying investment. and
that it would connect both Australia
and Canada much more closely with
the mother country. The cost of
such a cable would be about $4,000.
900, and the interest. sinking fund,
cost of operating and maintenance
would be In the neighborhood of
$166.000 a year. The volume OF
Canadian cable business is constant.
ly on the increase, and. with the rate
reduced from rs cents to s cents a
word, as is now suggested. the state
owned cable would easily secure all
the business 1t could conveniently
handle. Although the cable would be
purely national one, and not con
structed with a view OF competition
with existing cables. nevertheless
there would be large overflow busi
ness from the United States. insur
ing a paying dividend on the money
invested.

ognizing that this Is 30, their inten-
ton now is to call In the public to

the past prosperity OF the business
as the inducement for the investors
to respond. The Imperial Tobacco
company may expect to be foated

share capital will be divided into
four classes. There will be deben-
lures amounting to 100000 pounds
at 4 1-2 per cent; 100000 pounds In
preference shares. at 1-2 per cent;
100000 pounds ordinary shares.
and 100000 pounds IN ordinary
preference shares. The prchase price
is approximately $4,000 900 pounds.
The federated firms will take 10000
900 pounds OF ordinary deferred
shares. The payment for good
will. stock, assets, ETC.. is put by val
uation at 100000 pounds. The
vendors will take two-thirds payment
In cash. and the balance In shares.

Alfred Krupp. manufa .tnrer OF ssp,.
is the richest man In Germany, !.
cording to the income tax returns.
He has an annual income of more
than 20.000,000 marks, and this at
once places him far and away in
advance of any other class OF rich
men In the German empire. His
grandfather, Frederick Krupp, who
discovered the secret of making cast
steel. out OF which the great for
tune has been evolved, died in pow
erty In 1926. The father Of Alfred
krupp succeeded to the little foun-
dry In Essen, and he and his son
began applying the secret process OF
Transforming steel into the making of
guns. Together they worked out a
great many inventions, all OF which
went toward building up the enor-
nous business. the greatest OF its ma.
ture in the world. The father died
In 1877. but long before that time Al
fred krupp had assumed entire charge
OF the factory. Indicative OF what
an income of $5.000,000 a year means

PomP's COST TOO BIG.
Several Peers and Peeresses to Stay
Away From Coronation Cere
mony.

LONDON, Jan. 15.-Application for
seats in Westminster Abbey at the
coronation have now all been sent in.
1t is said considerable surprise will
be caused when the list is announced,
several names being conspicuous by
their absence. 1t is well known that
one or two peers and peeresses are
absenting themselves on account of
the heavy cost of robes.
Notwithstanding what is said to the
contrary. IL looks as If lilies will
share with roses the honor of being
the popular flower at the coronation
Growers are making great prepara
tions to meet such demand. with
from Germany and Holland in great
quantities.
At the coronation the Duchess OF

cess of Wales and before her two sis
ters The duke, however, comes af-
ter all the dukes. Now the ques-
tion is causing the king deep consid
Grafton. whether, by royal will. the
duke can be placed by his own wife
without raising a storm of indigna-
ton on the ducal bench. The case
Of the duke of Fife is further com
plicated by the fact that the duchess
is unwilling to appear without her
husband
The Eton college authorities intend
celebrating the coronation in a fash
ion of their own. They. will build
a boat on the model of Roman gal
ley and moor it in the Thames oppo-
site the house of parliament during
coronation week. Each side of the
vessel will have thirty oars. 1t is
likely that the rowing powers of the
young Etoniens will be tested by
these archaic conditions.
The bells of Peterborough cathe-
dral will break their silence of fifty
years at the time of the coronation,
provided, of course. the expert exam
lining them reports favorably. The
reason of their long silence was the
fear that their vibration might en-

dral, but the structure has now been

M. ROUSSEAU THE VICTOR.
Catholic Agitators Admit They Have
u, y overreaehed.

J-~-- Jan 15.-Cardinaf Richards
appeal to French Roman Catholics
to hold their special grievances
against the government In abeyance
until after the parliamentary gener-
al elections, which are fixed for the
coming May. is variously interpret
ed. By some 1t is credited to the
personal Intervention of the pope.
As is well known, Leo XIII. is pro-
foundly saddened by the bitterness
which has expressed itself In Roman
Catholic circles over the law of as
sociations, for 1t is ever his policy
not to allow political differences to
involve church polity and discipline.
to say nothing Of the very piety Of
his followers. as has recently been
the case in France. On the other
hand, there Is no shrewder ecclesias-
tic In Europe than the archbishop of
Paris. and many good judges see In
his appeal merely a move to avoid
another Romanish outbreak against
NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau and his col
leagues that would simply ally more
closely the heterogeneous elements
upon which the government relies
for support in the chamber and at
the polls next spring.
Probably the latter version of the
Richards incident is the correct one.
II the clericals are to make head
way against the premier it must be
by detaching from his followers
large socialistic vote. Unless this Is
done the triumph of NJ waIdeck-
Rosseau and Delcasse In May is in
evitable, and that triumph would
mean death-blow to clericalism as
political factor In France.
The clericals. by their recent out
burst against the Republican prin-
ciple have only made clear to the
masses the peril involved In cleric
al domination. and working classes
and their leaders, instead of siding
with the church, sided with the gov
ernment. which had declared with
Gambetta that "clericalism is the en-
envy"
Men like Cardinal Richards realize
the blunder. and are doing the ut
most to convince the masses OF the
French people that the church has
become genuinely reconciled to the
republic, and that hostility to the
programme Of the Waldeck- -Rosseau
government Is by no means synony-
nous with hostility to established In
stitutions.
