TEXAS PILOTAGE
 LAWS ARE UPHELD
JUSTICE WHITE POINTS OUT WHY LICENSED PILOTS ONLY HAVE RIGHT TO OPERATE OUT OF TEXAS HARBoRS.

Washington, November 2S.-An opinion in the stase pilot law case of Otto Olsen vs. A. D. Smith and othersl was rendered in the supreme court of the United States today by Justice White. Smith Is pilot of Galveston, Tex, licensed under the state law, and he brought suit in the Texas courts to recover damages alleged to have accrued by the action of Olsen' who is unlicensed, fin offering his services to vessels as a pilot in and out Of the harbor of Galveston. The points Involved in the case are the following:
 Whether the state had power to enact laws regulating pilotage in the ports of that state and whether if that power ex- isted the state laws are void because they conflict with acts of congress and the con stitution of the United States forbidding combinations in restraint of trade.
 The court upheld the state pilotsge law as construed by the court of appeals for the fourth supreme judicial district Of Texas. On the constitutional point, Justice White said:
 ",rhe point is advanced that because tho pilots have a monopoly of the business and by combining hmonB theHsViNVo eN- clude all others from rendering pilotage service, the law is unconstitutional, and is denial of the right of the United States to regulate such things. The contention that no monopoly in a legal sense can arise except as a fact that duly licensed pilots of the state are allowed to perform | the duties involved, to the exclusion of | others, amounts simply to the contention not that the Texas laws are void fol want of power, but that they are unwise If an analysis of the laws justihes th' conclusion the remedy Is in congress ant cannot be judicially affected by denyin the power of the state to exercise it's au thority over a subject concerning whic it has plenary power until congress ha | seen fit to act in the premises"

STEEL PLANT IS
 BEATING RECORD
ENsLEY BOOMING AHEAD-BLAsT FURNACES BEHAVING WELL AND ROD MILL WORKING OVER TIME-GREATER ENsLEY.

Ensley, November .-(Speeial9-Unless some accident happens at the steel plant within the next two days that great in- dustry will smash all of its former rec ords.
 All of the industries of this city are operating on full time and some are working overtime. Summing up the busi- ness of November the indications are that this month will be the record-breaking one of the year.
 October was a record-brealxing month at the steel plant, when the output was 10000 tons but this month will in all probability break that squirt.
 The blast furnaces are turning out pig iron in large quantities, and No. fur nace now in the course of construction Is rapidly drawing near completion and this large plant will soon be in blast thereby greatly augmenting the pig iron output in the Birmingham district.
 The rod mill is running overtime, with all the several departments turning out finished products in large volumes.
 The Empire Flow works also seems to have many rush orders on the books, as the plant is running three hours over time three nights in the week.

He also got very yellow in com plexion, at times his blood ran coIo' from nervous chIlls the doctor said.
 ''In few days he would return to work still in that dull. chilly condition. He would drink coffee, coffee coffee, for stimulant' he would say (as he drank no liquor). . l., stead of better, until finally made up my mind coffee had something to do with 1t so I bought a package of Postum with out telling him. and made 1t accorolng to directions.
