THE BIG ROADS Do
NOT COMPETE
So Attorney General Knox
Declared in Arguing North
ern Securities Case

Washington, Dec. 15.-Attorney Cen
the Northern Securities case in the
United States supreme court today.
he declared that by the union of the
Northern Pacific and the Great North
efn Railway Companies, two compet-
lng interstate railroads have been
brought into such relations that their
independence as competing factors in
interstate commerce is destroyed.
The thing that has been done was
declared illegal, he said, when brought
about by the methods p2rsued in the
joint traffic and trans Missouri cases.
These We're cases Of contracts or agree
ments between independent and COM
peting lines Of railway for the re-
sulation of traffic charges.
The government charges that these
agreements restrained interstate COM
merce. and this court sustains that
contention.
The attorney general said in con
clusion:
The testimony shows conclusively
l think that. as a matter of fact and
law, the thing which these gentelmen
lid was to create a combination in the
form of a trust, the form specifically
prohibited by the act of congress, If
t restrained interstate commerce; and
also. that the Northern Securities Com
pany was formed for the purpose of
taking over the control of the Grea.

roads and actually took over that con
troll and with that control absolute
power over both roads, the thing which
your honors have said constitute
such restraint under circumstances

UGLY RUMOR ABOUT
A HOSPITAL
Charges of Maltreatment and
Mysterious Treatment of a
Patient Who Died

New York, Dec. 15.-Investigaliou
the death at Bellevue hospital last
week of Adolphus Drucker former
member of the British parliament. has
been commenced by the police.
Drucker, who was a wealthy mine
owner of British Colombia, was placed
in the prison ward of the hospital.
while suffering from alcoholism, ana
died there. The inquiry was brought
about by a letter written by James
Murphy, now a prisoner in the Tombs,
bul who occupied a cot next to Druck-
ar in the hospital.
Murphy charges that the attendants
dosed Drucker with frequent and heavy
hSpodermic injections of morphine, be-
sides an internal dose of narcotic
known as "snipe" and also beat him
about the head frequently and unnec-
essarily. When Drucker died. Murphy
declares the body was hastily taken TO
the morgue. and it is charged the houi
of death was misstated.
Another charge is that though many
friends of Mr.. Ducker had several
times telephoned to the hospital ask
ing if Drucker was there. the answer
was no such person was among the
patients.
1t is also averred that when he was
brought to Bellevue hospital he had
some valuable jewelry about him ana
that this has disappeared.

ers, personally addressed to President
Roosevelt, putting forward the British
bondholdeIs position anent Panama
and Colombia, has been forwarded by
the foreign office to Ambassador Du-
rand, who has been instructed TO hand

The letter recites the history of the
Colombian debt and asks the president
To use his good offices to secure an
equitable assumption of po-tion
thereof by the Panama leaders.
The statement ltelegraphed from. The
Hague to the morning Leader of this
city that both Holland and Great Brit

the consul. who points out that no

as Panama's share. Arbitration al
The Hague or the personal decision of
President Roosevelt would be quite
satisfactory to the bondholders.

He GOT A GLIMPSE
Of HE'LL
What an investigating East
ern Scientist Ran Onto in
Humboldt County

DR.. George 1. Adams, of the United
had a glimpse of the Internal regions.
lie was sent to inspect a sulphur mine
in Nevada, and he brought back to
washington an interesting collection
OF specimens, which show that a good
grade of sulphur is produced in this
country, and that we are not depend

supply. the demand, says the Reno
Gazette. Only a few deposits in the
United States are at present mined,
but If tariff were levided on the for
eign product, much greater Develop
ment of native deposits might be ex-
peeted. This is one of the industf les
that ought to be fostered. The investi-
cations of the survey were made for
the purpose of ascertaining the ma
ture and extent of the Nevada de.
posits.
The mine visited by DR. Adams be-
longs to the Nevada Sulphur Mine
Company. 1t is situated in the Rab-
bit Hole mining district, just north
west of Rabbit Hole Springs, about -
mills fiom Humboldt House Station on
the Southern Pacific Railway This
is on the edge of the Black Rock des-
ert, a desolate volcanic region in
which there is little to rest the eye

exemplifying in every case that an
eient truism: Easy is the descent to
Avernus."
This deposit was discovered about
25 years ago by an Indian, who sold it
for a horse and saddle that he never
received. In 1874 the mine was work
ed by two partners, white men, VINO
quarreled over their profits until onn
of them, Rover, who was afterwards
hung at Reno, Nevada, killed the othe.
cut him up, put him in a sack and
buried him thereabouts.i
For long time the ghost of the muir
dered miner had things all his own
way. The appearance of the Nevada
Sulphur Mine Company in the field in
1900 put an end to his monopoly. The
new company entered at once on tne
active production of sulphur and brim-
stone. They started with only one re-
tort, but have since added another.
These retorts are cylindrical iror
structures somewhat resembling 1,
blast furnace in general appearance.
After the ore is dumped into them
they are closed, and superheated steam
is then turned on. The sulphur melts
and runs out of the bottom of the re-
tort into a settling pan, from wnicn
1t is drawn into molds. The forms in
these molds weigh about $50 pounds.
After they have cooled they are crush
ed to pea size or ground with bunr-
stones into flour.
The sulphur of pea size is shipped
in 100 pound sacks, the -four in 1ll
pound sacks.
Where the sulphur has taken crys-
talline form. 1t looks bright and spark
ling, its yellow crystals often beauti-
fully tinted with rosy cinnabar. The
richer deposits are the dark, massive
ones, which look like solid walls OF
birthstone. They make an appropri-
ate back ground for the ghostly fig-
ufes of the miners bent at their tasks
Everywhere about the upper works
hangs the penetrating odor of SUI
phurous fumes. and below ground the
grusome squeak of the sulphur fol-
lows every. football.

Plan to Provide funds

Denver. Dec. 14.-Seth T. Farnsworth
of Denver mas sent 10 the president
and each member of congress an out
line of a plan to provide funds for
building the Panama canal by. issuing
canal construction money" secure d
on the canal, and to be redeemed out
OF tolls collected from ships passing
through the canal.
The plan is intended to avoid the
nuisance of interest bearing bonds.
The statement sent to congressman
gives details of a public enterprise.
successfully carried out on the Island
of Guernsey by the use of this method
The proposition differs widely from
the issuance of greenbacks by the
American government during the civil
war; in that the proposed canal con-
struction money would be based spe-
cifcally on the security of the canal
itself.

A LIAR
Investigation Into His Con-
duct Will Probably Be
Closed Today

Washington, Dec. 15.-In the General
Wood case today Major J. E. Runcie
was the first witness. Statements
made by Ray Stannard Baker, con-
cerning the article rejecting upon the
administration of Maj. General Brooke

Der of questions concerning the origin
of the article in question and stood
by his former testimony to the effect
mat General Wood had knowledge OF
the story and that it was prepared
practically at his suggestion and die
tation.
The next witness was General Geo.
r Burton, inspector general Of the
army He occupied the position OF
inseptcor general in Cuba under the
administration of General Wood as

discovered the postal frauds.

telling the date of that discovery and
also the date that General Wood made
the order revising the judicial system
o. Cuba for the admission of exparte
testimony.
General Burton said that the dis
covery of the postal frauds was made
liz April, 1900, and that it was two
weeks or more later when the order
was issued by General Wood chang
ing the jurisdiction and powers of the
court.
Alexis E. Frye, formerly superin-
tendent of public instruction in Cuba,
told the committee that schools of
Cuba were organized under laws is
sued by General Brooke and that an
order making a cut In salaries OF
teachers was issued by General Wood.

breach of faith on the part of General
Wood which interfered with eff
cheney Of the schools. He asserted
