the appointed hour, Governor Taft
came over to the department from his
hotel with little party Of personal
friends and of some Of his immediate
family. They were ushered into Sec
retary Roots Office, where the retir-

form, took charge Of the ceremonies.
The room was cleared of all except the

Boy Almost Swept Over Niagara Falls
While Skating

Niagara Falls, N. Y. Feb. 2.-Ed-
ward Murty, fourteen years old, of
this city, owes his life to misfortune
that happened te an electrician named
Cromley. Both were enjoying the
winter scenery below the American
falls. Cromley was on the ice bridge
when a piece broke away, swinging
him out in the current above the
bridge. Just then Murty came coast
ing down the ice mountain on skates.
He was under such beadway that he
plunged into the river in front of the
floating ice on which Cromley was
sailing away. Cromley managed to
reach him and pull him onto the ice.
Men quickly threw a rope to Cromley,
who tied it about Murty, and he was
first rescued. Then the rope was
thrown to Cromley and he was pulled
to solid ice. Hundreds witnessed the
incident and the rescuers were
cheered.

SUIT HAS NO LEGAL STANDING
ACTION BROUGHT RY@AN lNDI.
BE BY THE STATE.

Helena, Mont, Feb. 2.-The Montana
sion OF Judge Clancy, in Butte, in the
injunction suit Of John MacGinnis
against the BOSTON and Montana COM
pany, This is the suit which caused
the shutdown of all the Amalgamated
properties in Montana last summer.
The case involved the injunction is
sued by District Judge Clancy against
the Amalgamated Copper oompany's
holding and voting stock in Montana
companies. The decision is very
voluminous and sfarreaching. The sub
stance is that MacGinnis is a private
and has no right to main
tain an action against the Amalga-
mated company doing business in
Montana or on the point as to whether
it is monopoly. such action is only
maintainable by the state; that un-
der the evidence In the record the
Amalgamated Copper company Is
neither trust nor monopoly; that
under the lawsSo Montana one COR
poration may hold as completely as an
individual stock in, other such COR
pcrations and that the same is not
against public policy. House bill l32
Is incidentally discussed and it's con.
stitutionalty upheld. The, case is re-
manded for further proceedings not
Inconsistent with the supreme courts
views.
House bill 132 was passed In, 1899
and vetoed by Governor Smith onSthe
ground that ii was a corporation meas
ure. II was then passed over the gov.
ernor.s Veto The law gives corpora
tions the right to acquire stock IN
other companies and to vote 1t.
The decision will release the Boston
and Montana dividends. provided the
supreme court does not grant re-
hearing Remttitur of the supreme
court will not be handed down for
fifteen days, In the meantime coun-
sci for MacGinnis, 1t is expected. will
ask for rehearing. II the motion Is
denied the dividends OF the Boston
and Montana become available.

if he was in the blowing-up business,
that he would select some object more
important than water pipe that

For the great artist who held the

the compliment could be emphasized
