A CLASH OF AUTHORITY
Causes Disturbance in Morgan's
Steamship Trust.

New oislx, July 3.-While no official
informa ton is available in regard to the
discussion at the recent joint meetings
in this city of the American and Eng
lish directors of the Morgan steamship
trust some of the details have become
known. says the Journal of Commerce,
and there are indications that i'm
portant changes in management are un-
der consideration and will be gradually
worked out.
The matters discussed naturally hing
ed on receipts and expenses, with the
object of discovering how the receipts
can be increased and the expenses cur
tailed In the matter of receipts the
relative popularity of the various lines
in the service was weighed, and it was
agreed that the necessity existed for in
creasing the popularity Of all backward
divisions of the service On this line
the discussion led to the undoubted
jealousy that seems to exist on both
sides of the water between the men of
the former rival lines. 1t appears also
that in several instances there has been
a clash of authority. The leading finan-
cial interests of the company are said
to favor placing absolute general man
agement in the hands of some practical
steamship man who shall have demon
strated his ability in this direction and
who has the time and inclination to de-
vote his entire services to the work of
the company.

DUE PROCESS OF LAW.
Title of an Address by Judge
Alton b. Parker.

Tallulah Falls. Ca. June 3.-The
members of the Georgia State. Bar as
sociation today listened to an address
on Due Process of Law by Chief Jus
tice Alton b. Parker of the New York
state court of appeals. In conclusion
he referred to the fourteenth amend
ment AZ follows:
More and more every year is due
process of law invoked by reason of its
place in The fourteenth amendment 70
challenge the action of state govern
ments and the time can not be predict
ed when such efforts will cease.
1t may be safely asserted that the
restraining power of the fourteenth
amendment as against the states Will
he exercised far more cOnserVatiVely
by that court Of which every citizen Is
justly proud, than it would be were the
exercise of it confined to the other de-
partments of the national government
Il feel warranted in saying that Valu-
able beyond comparison has been the
service of the supreme court Of the
United States to the people, it never
has been charged with greater re
sponsibility than that placed upon II
by the adoption of the fourteenth
amendments responsibility to the
meeting Of which its individual mem
bers have practically devoted their su-
premest energies, great abilities ana
broad scholarship, keeping ever in mind
as appears from the many opinions
written-the danger expressed by Mr.
Justice Miller of so far extending the
fourteenth amendment as to fetter anu
degrade the state governmentns.

EXCAVATIONS IN FORUM.
Important as Well as Highly Inter
esting Discoveries Recently Made

As early as the autumn of 1898 atten-
ton had been directed to the various
fragments of an architectural character
which were scattered throughout the
Forum area without assignment to the
original structures. The minister of
public instruction appointed a commits
sion consisting of Signor BOni, SignOri
Gatti and Lanciani. and Prof HuelSen,
whose duty it was to undertake the res
toration of those monuments, the rela-
tive completeness of whose remains JUS
titled such an undertaking. This COM
mission. fortunately composed of men
of scholarly judgment. determined upon
a most thorough investigation, resolving
to make excavations, if it was neces-
sary, even to thellowest stratum.
Little did these scholars realize the re-
suits of this praiseworthy determina-
ton. In November. 1898, two of the
seven colossal pillars which had adorned
the north side of the Sacra Via opposite
the Basilica Julia had been replaced on
their bases. and the shrine at the en-
trance of the house of the vestals was
restored. What proved to be of greater
Importance was the digging of -"tasti,"
or experimental trenches, in various
parts of the Forum. On January 10,
1899, the now famous "lopis niger was
found, which many at once accepted
as the stone tradition had described as
marking the tomb Of Romulus. This
discovery was a great incentive to fur
Their excavations. Money was provided
by the state, and even private indi-
viduals contributed toward the purchase
of houses which blocked the path of the
excavator. In the spring of 1900,
shrine and stele with archaic inscrip-
ton were discovered under the "lapis
niger" and in the summer months the
ascent of the Sacra Via. that portion in
front of the Basilica of Constantine, and
a part of the Basilica Aemilia, were
cleared. Finally. it was proposed to
yield to the archeologist the modern
street, along which ran an electric
tramWay. In the enthusiasm of the time
this was done, and excavations uncov-
cred the area of the Comitium and the
western portion of the Basilica Aemilia.
The early months of 1900 witnessed the
purchase and demolition of the Church
of Santa Maria Liberatrice, which stood
in the way of archaeological progress on
the other side of the Forum. There the
Santa Maria Antigua of the eighth CEN
fury of our era were brought into view.
In the fall of 1900 and in the spring of
1901 excavations were made at the rear
of the Temple of Castor. near the RoStra
and the House of the Vestals, and in the
latter part of 1901 ''tasti' were dug in
the Sacra Via from the Arch of Titus
to the entrance of the Palace of the
Caesars. In 1902. near the Church of
IS Cessna and Damiano. remains of
private houses of republican days, and
of F'austina graves of a very archaic
period were found. The Temple of Di
vus Augustus to the south of the Tenn
eple of Castor received considerable at
tention during last year, and is even
now in the hands of the excaVators.
This is a summary of the operations of
the last five years.-The Forum.

UNIONS WENT DOWN.
Banked in a Ball Game With Nine
Bees.

There was baseball game in Topeka
that deserves place in the sporting
archives of the community. 1t was a
contest for supremacy between two ne
gro teams, the Topeka Unions and the
Nine Bees. They have had similar con-
tests before. In the other contests the
Unions were always victorious 1t was
continually rumOred that the Nine Bees
were the better team but they always
lost to the Unions and the rumors were
never verified until Thursday. Nothing
so lurid and sensational has been seen
on the Washburn field this season.
The Bees simply smothered their OPP
pCnents. The Unions never had
chance to win. 1t was rare when one
of the players reached third base and
he always staid there. Wesley Ander
son, an exceedingly dark and active
young man occupied the slab for the
Bees and he handled himself like a vet
eran of the Goldsby's Giants days. The
strike outs came so rapidly that it was
almost impossible to keep track of them
and he was supported by an infield that
put every other aggregation that has
played in Topeka this season TO shame
There was lively youth named Robert
Turner on first who part of the time
covered most of the diamond He was
sometimes prone of the earth when he
connected with the bail but ne always
kept his communications with the base
unbroken. He also has good COM
mand of language which is necessary
in first-class ball player. Second Base
man McAdoo was almost as active as
Turner and he stopped everything that
came his way and in addition raped
out a homerun. Third Baseman Page
played the game of his life. He had all
the opportunity he desired for grand
stand" exhibitions and he did the job
without an error. He also lifted the ball
over the fence. Shortstop Clark couldn't
hit like his infield colleagues but he
made up for it by playing a swift and
errorless game in the field. In addition
to this the outfield gave a good account
of itself though it had less to do.
A young man named Johnny McAdoo
umpired the game and he worked as
hard as a Washburn student in the
harvest field. 1t would be a good plan
to give this young man summers job
as umpire He is by long odds the
most satisfactory umpire seen on Wash
burn field and the fact that he is black
doesn't hurt him.
When the sad story was ended the
Unions had a large sized goose egg as
the result of their efforts and she Bees
had nine marks chalked up to their
credit. II was a veritable Waterloo
! for the encountered Unions.

The Wood Carver's Art.

Wood carving has been experiencing
a distinct revival in certain lines In the
past year. due partly to the reaction
from the cheap limitations of pressed
wood which so gaudily decorated many
homes, and partly to the cultivation
of an esthetic taste for the solid ana
artistic products of handcraft. The
righteousness Of the Chinese in wool
carving has had something to do III
encouraging the development of home
talent in this line. The remarkable
lakewood sideboards and tables of the
Chinese and japanese. representing. as
they do, years of hard, close work on
the part of the carvers, have attracted
universal attention in this country. anc
the demand for them has stimulated
more general appreciation of domestic
hand-carved furniture. The imported
furniture of the Chinese and japanese
contains its lessons to wood carvers in
this country. The infinite amount OF
care. patience and detail work of the
Orientals. is not to be lost upon the
carvers here. With their simple and
almost crude implements. the Oriental
artists have accomplished results that
would require the best skill Of Ameri.
cans to imitate.-New York Times

ed to the house at o'clock he could not
get in. He waited for some time, then
broke in a window and searched the
house. In an unfinished attic over the
kitchen. reached by a ladder he saw
hanging side by side from the rafters
his wife and two children.
1t is stated that last night Mrs. BaX-
ter handed her husband a bottle of wine
to drink. He took some of it and was
SO sick this morning that he had to
consult a physician. That the wine was
drugged or poisoned seems probable.
The contents remaining will be analyz-
ed.
From indications the woman must
have carried the children up the ladder
one at time. The room was so low
that the boys feet nearly touched the
floor.

BRADBURY THE FIRST.
Will Fish Out Soldier Creek Bridge
for Y05.

The county commissioners today let
the first contract on the bridge work
made necessary by the flood.
William Bradbury was awarded the
contract to rescue the Soldier creek
bridge, on the Granville road, for $95.
He will take the one span of 100 feet
from the creek and leave 1T on the
bank. Then bids will be received from
bridge builders to put it in place. 81
After this has been done the commits
sioners will look after the other
bridges. All of the Granville bridge
cannot be found. Some of the spans
have been washed a long distance from
the piers In replacing some of the
bridges the commissioners fear that the
limit of the $4,000 appropriation will not
cover the costs as new spans will have
to be added on account of the widening
of the river.
