PROMOTED FOR HEROISM.
Ocean Steamer Engineer Performs
Feat Seldom Equa1ed at Sea.

Ocean Steamer Engineer PERFORMS
Feat Seldom Equaled at sea.
Henri Pommier. assistant engineer on
the steamship La Champagne, has secur-
ed promotion by an act OF herolsm sell
dom equaled in the annals of the sea. AT
the risk of his own life he saved the
life of a comrade, and then, by hanging
head down in the funnel of the big boat
many feet above the roaring furnace, he
fixed a broken damper and prevented
delay and possible injury to the vessel.
A greaser who had been ordered to open
the big damper which had become clog
ged in the funnel was overcome by the
gas and lost consciousness. Pommler,
seeing him from the deck in imminent
peril of tumbling down the funnel into
the fire below, climbed to his assistance
and brought him to the deck, where ne
was revived. Pommier then returned to
the funnel and fastening wet sponge
to his nose permitted a comrade to hold
him by the ankles head down, and with
the ship tossing like cork and the tlerce
flames straight below him, he fixed the
damper and was pulled out. He has
been promoted to be a full engineer.

KNOX ON MONoPOLIEs.
Attorney General Sends Message to
Congressional Committee.

Attorney General Knox submitted a
communication to the subcommittee OF
the House committee on Judiciary which
is endeavoring to formulate measure
to regulate trusts. This communication
is in reply to request of Chairman Lit
tlefeld.
1t deals exhaustively with the subject,
going into it at greater length. even than
the Attorney Generals recent Pittsburg
speech. Attorney General Knox's an
swer is under three heads, namely: The
questions which have been decided by
the courts, the questions which are pend
ing in the courts, and suggestions respect
ing further legislation. In Introducing
his recommendations he says:
THE end desired by the overwhelm-
ing majority of the people of all sections
of the country is that combinations of
capital should be regulated and not de-
stroyed and that measures should be tax
en- to correct the tendency toward monop-
olization of the industrial business OF the
country. / assume a thing to be avoid
ed, even by suggestion, is legislation reg
ulating the business interests of the coun-
try beyond such as will accomplish this
end.
I'm my Judgment. a monopoly i'll any
industry would be impossible in this
country where money is abundant and
cheap and in the hands or within the
reach of keen and capable men, if COM
petition were assured of fair and open
field and protected against unfair and
artificial and discriminating practices.
IF the law will guarantee to the small
producer protection against piratical
methods in competition and keep the
highways to the markets open and avail
able to him for the same tolls charged
to his powerful competitors he will man
age to live and thrive to an astonishing
degree"
Coming down to the suggestions asked
for and desired by the committee he
says:
My suggestion therefore. is that as Il
first step in policy to be persistently
pursued until every industry, large and
small, in the country can be assured OF
equal rights and opportunities and until
the tendency to monopolization of the
important industries of the country is
checked, that all discriminatory practices
affecting interstate trade be made Of
lenses to be cnjoined and punished.
''Such legislation should be directed
against those who give and those who
receive the advantages thereof and cover
discrimination in prices as against com
petitors in particular localities resorted
to for the purpose of destroying compe-
tition in interstate and foreign trade, as
we'll as discrimination by carriers.
''Such legislation to certainly reach
producers guilty of practices injurious to
national and international commerce
should, in my judgment, take the form
of penalizing the transportation OF the
goods produced by the guilty parties and
the federal courts should be given power
to restrain such transportation at the
suit of government"

Citizens, of Eagle, Wis, Wound One
Thief and Capture Another.

counter between a posse. of Eagle, Wis,
citizens and n gang of four burglars and

ing toward Mukwonago. The theft was
discovered and the owner started after

ing them near a clump of woods. The
robbers at once opened fire, which was
returned by the posse, with the result
that one was heard to scream and later,
on their attempting to escape, fell. An
other was captured and the other two
escaped to the woods. The man who
was captured had on his person two bot
ties of nitrOglycerin and a complete set
of burglar tools and two revolvers.

Naval Maneuvers Show Hostile Fleet
Could Not Enter.
TIE naval maneuvers of the fleet I'M
der Rear Admiral Evans in Subig bay,
Martha. have proved instructive and
shoy that hostile fleet could not enter
the harbor. The 200 marines, who We're
detached from the ships and landed at
Grand Island, where they laid 400 yards
of railroad and threw up entertainments
ana batteries, frustrated the majority of
attempts to run the mine fields by small
beats carrying counter mines. These
boats acted as if an enemy's ships were
attempting to invade the country and
pass the mine fields, but the marines
discovered them by searchlights. a small
boat from the captured Spanish cruiser,
DOn Juan de Asturias, disguised with
bushes, under command of Ensign Bah
cock, however, with two of the crew,
made a mile and half to the shore,
which is infested by sharks, and succeed
in carrying counter mine buoys and at
taclsipg them to the mines without being
disco cred. Rear Admiral Evans con-

work.

said to have been estranged for num-
Der of years, the object of the woman's
search was to give the body decent

That the authorities and people of Sui
Ivan County, Indiana, mean to recog-

county was indicated when the January
term of the Circuit Court opened and
Judge A. B. Harris recognized Dudley
as Sheriff Governor Durbin refused to
reappoint Dudley because he allowed
mob recently to take a negro away from
him and lynch him. The new law pro-
vides that Sheriff shall forfeit his office
in such circumstances. The County Com
missioners met later and intimated that
they would not recognize Dudley as Sher-
if. The County Clerk in delivering legal
papers recognized Coroner Maxwell as
Sheriff. Under the law the Coroner sup
plants the Sheriff.
