Items of Interest Gathered
During the Past
Week,
RAILWAYS TO POST BULLETINS
Attorney General MuIIan Files Brief
at Des Moines UNFOLDING the Constitu-
tIonaIity of the GriswoId Law-Assess-
ors Find Much Money.

Des Moines. July 26.-The railroad
commission has taken steps to en-
force the new law requiring all rail.
roads in Iowa to post in their passan-
ger stations bulletins showing the time
of arrival and departure of trains.
Senator W. B. Tallman of Warran
county was the author of the act,
which passed the last general assem-
by and went into effect the first of
July.
The railway commission has allow
ed nearly a month to elapse. during
which time they have noticed evidence
of failure to comply with the new pro-
vision. Now they are sending out let
tiers to all the railroads in the state
calling their attention to the act, and
asking that they be advised at once
as to what companies have made pro-
vision. The letter sent out by the
commission is as follows:
THE TwentyNinth general assem-
bly, of the state of Iowa G902l passed
a law. a copy of which We enclose you
herewith. which requires all railroad
companies to keep posted in the wait
ing room of each passenger station a
bulletin plainly showing the time of
arrival and departure at said station
of all trains carrying passengers.
Penalty for failing to comply with
this law makes the company liable in
the sum of $50. The law is known as
chapter 81, of the acts of the Twenty
Ninth general assembly. Your atten-
ton is called to this statute inasmuch
as the members of this board have
noticed that in many of the railway
depots of this state no such bulletins
have been provided, although this law
has been in effect since the first day
OF July. 1902. Will you please advise
the board at once whether your com
pany has made provision for the post
ing Of the bulletins required?"
Secretary Lewis Of the railway COM
mission stated that the law in ques-
ton is looked upon as a good one.
1t is the duty of the commission to en-
force its provisions and it will do So.

Miners Who Leave Anthracite Field
Do So to Work Elsewhere.

Chicago. July 24-President Mitch.
ell came to Chicago last night on his
way to other coal fields. and was In
better spirits than he has been for
some time.
Asked about the report that many
miners are leaving the anthracite
field for other coal fields, he said. II
was the policy and object of the
organization to provide work for its
members. and II work at union rates
was not to be had in one coal field, the
organization did all in Its power and
means to send them where 1t was TO
be had.
He said funds are coming into ma.
tional headquarters at Indianapolis as
rapidly as could be expected, and that
not oIly labor unions and members OF
unions, but many individuals, among
them a number of moneyed men, are
sending money to carry on the fight.
Mr.. Mitchell also said he believed

satisfaction had arisen among the
miners over the manner of the dis
tribution Of funds and supplies to
those on strike are not true.

PRESENTS MANY piFFIcuLTiE
Colonel Hepburn on the Problem OF
Antitrust Legislation.


Washington, July 25.--Colonel Hep
burn was in Washington yesterday
fresh from a conference with the
president at Oyster Bay, and there is
significance in his reply to an inquiry
if he thought Littlefield had been com.
missioned to take charge of antitrust
legislation.
The president is very much inter-
ested in the question:" said Mr.. Hep
burn, but | think that 1t will be
found that he is willing to let the ap-
propriate committee of the house have
full jurisdiction of the subject"
AS Colonel Hepburn is chairman of
the committee on interstate and for
eign commerce he probably knows
what he is talking about. The colone.
frankly acknowledges the difficulties
that attach to any effort to deal with
the subject by legislation. He said:
1T seems to me that we are in the
condition Of the man out In the coun-
try who wanted rife that would hit
deer and miss calf. We want
law that will hit the pernicious injur-
ious trusts and yet not harm the
proper and legitimate combinations of
capital. The man who can devise that
kind of law will solve the problem.
1T seems to me-" he continued,
that the whole trouble lies in the
| amount of stock in these vast combina-
lions which does not represent money
actually paid In. For instance. | do
| not believe that Pierpont Morgan
| would have interested himself In
organizing the great steel trust if it
had not been for the $1100, 100000 in
stock unrepresented by cash. II We
could tax hi kind of stock out of ex-
isteBce just as W. ,ay state bhnk bills,
| believe We might tinf a remedy At
any rate. ! believe there would not be
SO great en- incentive for forming these
huge combinations. | would have no
watered stock at all. In nearly all OF
these trusts the common stock is all
watered. | would tax out of existencs
all stock that does not represent
money actually paid in"

in his fight to speak to him, and turn.

but noteworthy, and will live in pugil,

Fitz had been fighting at a furious
gait, cool and deliberate, and chop

terrific rights and lefts that have
made him famous. 1t was the draught

but upon the opening of the first
round he assumed an air of absolute

away in such clever manner that
brought down the house with cheers.
Ii seemed indeed that JEFF could
scarcely weather out the gale. When
the eighth round came, and under a
series of hot exchanges Fitz paused
with his guard down and spoke to the
champion, the latter's reply consisted
of the two terrific blows that brought
back to him the fleeing champion

Fitzsimmons from the fistic arena.
Fitz took his defeat with amazing
good cheer. He walked to the center
OF the ring and raising his hand ad-
