KNOX Is SATISFIED.
Says New Antitrust Laws Garry
Out AdministratiOn's Wishes,


Washington, Feb. 16-Attorney Gen
eral Knox, who is known to have pre-
pared the important feature Of the anti
trust bills now enacted into law, on be-
ing asked as to how they were regarded
by the administration, said:
"The legislation affecting the trusts
passed at this session of congress is sat
isfactOry to the administration, and the
prompt response TO the presidents re-
quests is highly gratifying. A long
stride in advance has been accomplished,
and the promises of last fall have been
made good.
"The giving and taking Of railroad re-
bates is now prohibited by a law cap
able OF effective enforcement against cor
pOratiOns rs we'll as individuals, and the
courts OF the United States are clothed
with jurisdiction to restrain and punish
violations.
Tine act creating the department Of
commerce vests in that department COM
plete authority to cause investigation
OF the organization and business meth
Ods OF corporations engaged in interstate
and foreign commerce, and to that end
to compel the testimony of persons hav-
| ing the desired knowledge. The legisla-
| ton is concise in it's terms, but compre-
| hensive in it's scope. Under it's proYis-
ions fair opportunity will be afforded
to test the effect upon the tendency to-
ward industrial monopoly of its guar
antees OF no favors for the great pro-
| ducer as against the small one Discre-
tion is lodged in the president as to the
publication of facts useful to be publicly
| known, and a wise administration OF the
| law promises all that is helpful and
nothing that is harmful.
"The law to expedite the hearing OF
cases aud giving an appeal directly to
| the supreme court from the court OF first
instance assures within rearonable time
authoritative decisions upon important
pending questions in the knowledge OF
| which future legislation, if necessary, can
! be confidently framed.
"Upon the whole the situation is emi-
nentIy satisfactory, and is the result of
concessions, notifications of views and
/ forms of expression upon the part of
( many earnest and thoughtful men, who
have endeavored within brief season to
meet a rational public demand in a ra-
! tional and effective way"

Speaking of the outlook for tl,e f1an,.

Speaking of the outlook for the denr- ocratic party in the next national eam- paign q Washington writer says that We must take iHto consideration the conditions that eonfroEat US. The farmer has not yet begun to feel the fact that the trusts are charging him more for everything he buys than they do the foreign buyer of the same arti- cle, and the majority of farmers are fstandpatters'' and while those who are democrats probably would not vote the republican ticket. they might not realize the signfHcance of the cleo tion. In the face of this fact we must nominate a man who has the confidence and can carry the vast labor vote af the cities and the country. An over- whelming majority of this vote will turn the scale in many of the pivotal states Of the union. especially in the east and the middle west, and bring victory to the democratic party. With that kind of leader on pIatferrn that denounces monopoly and special privi- Iege in all its manifestations and de- mands tariff revision, trust control and. where necessary, trust extinction, an income tax and election of United States senators by vote of the people direct. we can and will win.''

FORESTRY PROFITABLE SOUTH

| The direct and immediate advantages of careful numbering when combined with the practice of forestry have seldom been so forcibly shown as in the case of the University of the South at SeWanee, Tenn, whose tim herIands have been managed since 1900, under the direction of the Blu reau of Forestry.
 Although $3.o00 for all its timber was considered fair offer by the University in 1899, the Bureau, by its plan of management has already se- cured q net profit for the university of $3,200 Fou. more years of lumber ing remain to be done, and for three years at least there is an assured an- nual profit of $1,5O0. Tn a word, tim Der formerly valued at $3.000 will have been made to yield profit of over $7,O00.
 sewanee Is on the top of q spur of the Cumberland plateau, and is a noted summer resort. Every summer when the university opens hundreds of persons from all over the south take cottages in the town to enjoy for the season the fine climate and the beau ties of the woodland scenery. The y brought to the attention of a large number of people, many of them own- CTS of southern timber lands, who see for themselves the great practical ad- vantages of forestry and careful Ium- bering in the surprisingly large profits and improved appearance of the for est
 A detailed account of how the re- suits in the Sewanee forest have been achieved has just been published by the bureau of forestry in bulletin 80, entitled "Conservative Laundering at sewanee," by John Foley. The bulle- tin does not furnish such specific in- structions for the management of tim Der lands like those at Sewanee that they can be applied to them without expert assistance. It illustrates. how ever, what may be done with such timber lands, and especially does it emphasize that numbering and forestry may be practiced in the south, as else where. with profit.

A GERMAN ELECTRICAL FARM.


 Tn the application of electricity to ev- ery-day work, Germany has, perhaps, gone further than any other nation. Electricity heated and operated cook ing and laundry apparatus is in com mon use there, but the most striking
 single development is the electrical farm. Take for example Professor
 Backhausis estate near Quednau, in
 eastern Prussia, which is only one of
 a large number of German estates run
 by electricity.
 The Quetfnau farm covers 450 acres
 and it's dairy handles 1000 gallons of
 milk daily. Every part of the farm is lighted by electricity and is in tele- phone communication with every other part. The dairy has an electrical churn: the barn contains electrically
 operated feed and earrot-eutting nla- chimes, and even the gIindstone is turned by a small belt from the shaft
 connected with the barn motor. The water pumping apparatus is run by electricity, all the buildings are light ed by ineandescent lamps, and there. ! is an electric pipe lighter at the doors of all the houses. The farm has also it's own threshina and grfst mill, the machinery, of which is turned by a current fro the miniature central station. and finally there is small ! sawniH, which gets it's power from the | same station. On ths farm are all
 kinds of electrical agricultural machin- cry, including an automobile blow, all ! run by batteries charged from sub stations in the fields.
 I The power for all these various ope- rations- lighting. heating, telephones, ! churning. cutting. grinding. Pumping. 1 threshiug and saving comes from a fftr-hoFs power stationary engine l moving two dynamos.
 ! From this station the power is dis | tributed to all parts of the farm, and l the switchboard is so plainly marked that the commonest farmland can ! regulate the supply to fit the need. At Crottorf q number of small farms have | grouped to support one station and < have their work done by 1t.
 Such plants as these do more than merely tighten farm labor; fewer I worknaen are needed and greater profits are possible, and the whole l bushes of farming is made more at 1 traetfve. The barnyard is lighted by an arc light: night work in the field | is possible when it is necessary; the stables are warmed in winter and ventilated in summer by the turning of a switch; indeed the en- tire farm runs like a machine at the call of the electric current.

MINED MARRIAGES.

 Can No Longer Perform Them.


 Reports Say Roman Catholic Clergv
 Can No Longer Perform Them.
 Owing to the reception of orders from the propaganda at Rome, it is stated that Archbishop Farley would not, as has been asserted, ofticiate at the wedding of Reginald Vanderbilt and Miss Cathleen Nelson.
 The order is not for this specific ease. but is general in its character. Posi- tive instructions have been received by the Catholic heirarchy of the United States forbidding them to officiate at any more weddings in which one of the contracting parties is a non- Cath olic. This applies to bishops, arch bishops and the only American car dinal.
 This rule is not yet generally known and will come somewhat as a surprise to many spring brides, contemplating an imposing ecclesiastical function.
 Prior to the reception of fhis instruc- ton, it was stated recently by we'll known ecclesiastic of New York there was only one archbishop in the United States who would never consent to off, ciate at one of these mixed mar riages," as they are called. Strange to say, this prelate is Archbishop Ireland of St Paul. Notwithstanding his ad- vanced position of liberality on many questions of church policy, he has never deviated from this rule, which is now made absolute by Rome
 Archbishop Farley made an official denial of his intention to officiate at the marriage of Miss Nelson and MT Vanderbilt, and called attention to this not yet understood rule of the church.
 The authorities in Rome have iuti- mated that the church. in thus prohib- iting higher dignitaries from Tartici- pating at these ceremonies. wishes to further mark her disapproval of mar riages between members and non-mem- hers of the faith. thing which has al- ways been tolerated only with the praafest reluctance

 PARIS, April T,--Mrs. Horace Porter, wife of General Porter, the United States ambassador here, died suddenly at o'clock yesterday afternoon of com gestion of the lungs following chill.
 Mrs. Porter had not been in robust health for some time and decided to make stay in Zurich, Switzerland, for rest and to recuperate, She returned to Paris last Tuesday considerably i'm proved, though retaining lingering symptoms of the prevailing epidemic of grip, but the doctors did not consider her condition serious. A sudden change for the worse was observed at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and it became mani fest that the congestion had attacked her lungs. Mrs. Porter sank rapidly until she expired an hour later.
 The various absent members of the family were notified by telegraph and cable. The only daughter, Elsie, was in Germany, whither she had also gone on trip for the benefit of her health, and the generals only son, Clarence Porter, who is in New York. was ad- vised by cable, Word was also conn munfcated to tue American govern ment and to the French authorities. The public announcement was made by Secretary vignaux in brief statement of the facts.
