is GRANTED
IN TELEPHONE WAP

Detroit, Dec. 2.-Judge Henry II.
Swan granted a preliminary injunction
against the Michigan Telephone com
pany yesterday in the United States
circuit court on petition OF the Old
Colony Trust company Of Boston,
which represents the eastern bond
holders Of the Michigan Telephone
company.
1t is the first step in the suit begun
by the Old Colony Trust company to
foreclose its first mortgage and two
supplementary mortgages on the
Michigan Telephone company. The
cause Of the action is the defaulting
of the interest on $28500O Of bonds
held by the Trust company and also
on the rest of the $5000,00O outstand-
ing bonds of the Telephone company
The injunction prevents the Michigan
company from dispocing of its prop
erty.

RATE WAR FOR SOLDIERS.
Great Western Disregards Agreement
For Transportation.

St. Paul, Dec. "A rate war is on
between Chicago lines over the divi-
sion of business arising from the
movement of discharged soldiers from
northwestern army posts to the east.
Perhaps 1000 soldiers are moving this
week. The Chicago-St Paul lines
made an agreement to charge $8.O5
from ST. Paul to Chicago. Yesterday
the Great Western announced it's
withdrawal from the agreement and a
rate of 81. A meeting of the other
lines was called and the probable re-
suit will be a joint agreement of the
six lines, authorized to meet any rate
made by the Great Western.

ALCOHOL RESPONSIBLE.
Disasters OF Various Kinds which
Are Traceabls 80 Driuk-Be-
fuddIed Brains.

Many of the most serious railroad
and steamboat accidents have been
found in the final analysis to be due to
the bad reasoning and faulty senses OF
the responsible persona In charge.
When these accidents are studded they
are traceable to distinct physical
causes, among which The use of slco-,
hol is most prominent Thus the engi-
neer who. tired and worn, takes a
drink of spirits, which all unconscious
~ depresses the acuteness OF his senses
and dulls his reasoning power. Later
the train orders are confused and tho
danger signals sre not correctly seen,
and a frightful accident follows, I'm
which he perisheS. No one realizes that
all this was due to the glass OF spirits
taken to relieve his wearied state. The
captain Of a great steamship used
spirits to keep warm while on the
bridge, and a few hours after made q
terrible blunder. No one recognized
the connection between the spirits
taken and the accident, and yet it was
simply cause and effect His usual
mental cleernees was dulled and his
judgment impaired. An architect
planned great block OF buildings
which collapsed, and he was punished
a dishonest and fraudulent. In reality
1T was the alcoholized brain OF man
who drank daily, and yet his friends
saw no connection between the faulty
plans and the accident which followed.
An engineer who drank at night and in
so-called moderat ton decided that
reservoir dam was safe and would bear
any pressure. Lateri il burst and many
lives and immense property was do
stroyed. Here the same mistake was
made, in trusting TO the faulty reason
ing Of the engineer. This list Of dis
aSters and losses might be extended
almost indefinitely, and only recently
is there any suspicion that the use OF
alcohol was ar active predisposans
cause. The delusion that alcohol used
in small quantities. never inpairs the
integrity OF the senses and reasoning is
contradicted by daily experience A
still greRter deiusion exists In suppos-
ing the inebriate TO be simply a moral
victim, not diseased. II is this error
that crowds the criminal courts with
victims, WHO are crushed out in the
efforts TO restore them. Scientists are
teaching the great lesson of prevea-
ton, which insists that all responsible
men, holding positions of trust, shonlS
be total abstainers.-JournaI of Tn

CAN DO WITHOUT SALOONS.
SANTA M@Bien- Col. Tries Experiment
with Success Beyond Ex-
peetatfOn.

Santa Monica, Cal, nearly a year
ago decreed the closing OF the sa-
looms. To do so was predicted would
ruin ths city. How the city had been
ruined, read rhAt the callornia
Voice says:
First, very notable increase in
the number and sAarastsr of fsne pop
ulat1on and visitors to the beach.
Second, business men say that since
closing the saloons in May there is
decided improvement in business,
soma going so far as to say that their
business has almost doubled. The
merchants say that they are now get
ting more cash in hand for goods
than ever before, and that what for
merly went to saloons now goes into
the legitimate channels of trade. An
example or two will show the trend
of business under prohibition.
The bank deposits In thu Santa
Monica bank for the three months of
June, July and August 1909, undey
prohibition, were $4,000 more than
they were for the corresponding
months of 1899 with open saloons.
Moody's delieacy store for the month
of June, July and August, 1900, un-
der prohibiHon, took In actual cash
for June, $232.5o; for July, 1854. as (;
for August, $427.2s, in excess of the
cash receipts for the three CORE
spending months of 1899, when they
had saloons. -
In May, 1899, there were "A ar
rests for drunkenness; in May, 1900,
only four, and all other cases trace
able to saloons have fallen of CORE
spondingly. SO that summing itoan
up, Santa Monica ean,very well afford
to do without saloons, and the good
people Of Santa Monica say that they
can never again afford To have an
other saloon in their little city by the

On tho other hand. the striking min
ers seem equally confident that there

their grievances have been adjusted.
The leaders state that they have every
means at hand TO carry on the strike

At present II seems. from what little

that an attempt would be made almost
any time to start some of the mines.
The one thing that is said to keep back
such action is the fear that riots might
ensue IL any large percentage OF min
ers were left idle. 1t is believed by
those who understand the situation
that 1t would be folly to attempt to
use miners who are not thoroughly ac-
Quainted with the particular mines in
which they are placed at work. Under
the Pennsylvania law no miner can
secure q license unless he has worked
at least two years as an assistant.
