CITY T NEWS Y
LETS FLY FLIES FLY OUT
AN EXIT FOR SCREENS INVENTED
BY MINNEsOTAN A PATENT
FOR TURBINE WATER WHEELS.

Comfort for humanity and added
power for water wheels constitute the
basis for the patenting of two Minne-
sofa inventions reported by William
son & Marchant. Emery E. Slower,
Bigelow, Mimi, decided to circumvent
the Unborn degeneracy of flies by in
venting fly exit for screens. BY the
use Of this invention the fly, upon
leaving the butter, goes to the screen
for a little ozone. A tempting path
way to the great outdoor world pre-
sents itself and the fly walks out. Once
outside, he cannot get back until the
baby leaves the front door Of the
house open or ToWser chases the cat
thru the screen. ... '.s
w. O. Rehmenklau has invented a
ball-bearing device for attachment to
water turbines. which has been pro-
nounced q great Improvement. At
present, on account of the great fric-
\tion, the turbines rest upon Ngnum
vitae bearing. The Minneapolis in
ventor has mounted this bearing upon
system of ball bearings in such a
way that it gives greatly added power
to the water wheel. If a ball breaks
or clogs, the fashioned lignum
vitae bearing starts in action, auto
matically doing away with the neces-
sity for shutting off the water supply.
The repair can be made at any time.
Another meritorious invention of a
Minneapolis citizen is that of a new
fire alarm system by John Olson. The
machine will not only record high
temperatures and ring an alarm, but
will work equally well for recording
low temperatures.

ercise any control over the corporate

WOULD GIVE SOUTH CHOICE
New York Democrat Favors South
ern Control of Party.

81
New York Sun Special Service.
New York, March 14.-Thomas r.
Ryan, vice president of the Morton
Trust company and a democrat Of
note, being an associate Of the late
William G. Whitney, says he believes
the southern democrats should name
q candidate for president and con-
struct the platform on which the can
didate will run.
Mr.. Ryan said that in the conserva-
tism which the south always stood for
was to be found the protection from
those who would demoraliZe the party
again, and the only course for the
democratic party in other states was
to restore to the south that recogni-
ton in the party councils which the
east has had in former times. He
continued:
candidate of the national democratic
party and divisions which have been
disclosed in the ranks Of the party
in some of the states, emphasize the
necessity that the southern democrats
should become the leaders and not
the followers in shaping the policies
Of the party. The time has come for
the south to organize and demand the
right to select the candidate and con-
struct the platform. The southern
states will give more than three
fourths of the vote necessary to elect
president, and by strong and con-
sentative leadership they will COM
mand the support Of the necessary
votes in the convention to nominate"

THE DISSENTING OPINION
Right of Railroads to Combine Up
held by Four Justices.

Washington, March 14.-Justice
Holmes read the dissenting opinion in
the merger case. He construed the
antitrust law as a criminal statute
and declared that there was nothing IN
it to indicate that it had been enacted
merely for the control of large con-
Germs, as Is generally commended. In
deed, the law had not been Under
stood as applying to railroads until so
construed by the supreme court. The
act, he commended, applies only to con-
tracts and combinations in restraint OF
trade and makes no reference to COM
petition.
Logically construed, Justice Holmes
said to-day's decision should be fol-
lowed by the criminal prosecution Of
the parties at interest in this case.
Speaking of the general understand
ing that the Sherman law applied only
to large corporations, the Justice said
that this impression was breathed
from every pore of the statute but
that its language did not bear out the
conclusion. He thought this inference
due to the size Of railroad corpora
tons.
been no attempt to monopolize in this
combination of the railroads and said
that there could be no more objection
to the purchase Of the stock Of the
Northern Pacific and the Great North
ern roads by the Northern Securities
company than If bought by Mr.. Nor
gan himself.
Justice White said he conceded to
the fullest extent the power of con-
gress over interstate commerce. But
this question: he said, 'is ownership
commerce-1s the acquisition and
ownership of property interstate COM
mercer" -....
Commerce undoubtedly is traffic"
he went on, but it is something
more"
eff it be true that II ownership of
railroads may be controlled by the
federal government, why may not all
ownership be so controlled? 2"
If the principle here adopted be
true, he commended, Mr.. Hills control
Of the railroads in question could be
taken from him. He could not &C
cept this theory, but commended for the
right Of the states to regulate matters
Of this character for themselves. For
the federal government to take the po-
sition that it can supervise in such
instances is for it to pull down the
pillars Of the temple upon which it
rests.

HILL Is RETTCENT
President of Northern Securities Com
pany Will Say Nothing.

New York. March IA. j. HILL
president of the Northern Securities
company, received news Of the decis-
ion at the conpany's office in this
city. Mr.. Hill declined to discuss the
matter, except to say:
There is nothing to be said at this
time. The properties Of the Northern
Securities company are still there.
They are as good as ever"
Mr.. Hill fntimated that he might
have something to say as soon as he
got some definite idea of the scope
Of the decision. Mr.. Hill was in con-
ference for some time after the news
came out with John S. Kennedy, who
is one Of the directors and largest
stockholders in the Northern Securi-
ties company.
At the offices of J. P. Morgan &
Co. no expression of opinion regard
ing the decision could be had. A
member of the firm stated, however,
that, he was not surprised.

sci of the Northern Securities COM

a,s SATURDAY AFTERNOON
Judge Hiles Says Shoots Election Was
Due to Apostleship.

Washington, March 14.-Judge o.
den Hiles testified that Reed Smoot
could not have been elected to the
United States senate without being
chosen an apostle of the Mormon
church, and that u he was so chosen,
Judge Hiles was assistant United States
attorney from 1886 to 1890, and later
ajudge of the districtscourt. OF Utah.
He said Smoot could not have been
If he had not been an apostle
because there were many others that
had more influence in the party and
had more reasonable claim for the po-
sition. He added:
1T is my opinion, and it was the
general impression in both the ,repub.
lican and democratic parties also. Tc
use common slang expression, it was
said 'Smoot wouldn't be in it if he
were not an apostle
Were there any other republicans
mentioned for the senatorship before

In answer to other questions, he
said he believed Mr.. Smoot had always
taken part in political affairs and
had always been allied with the re-
publicans, but that he never had heard
Of Smoot having made an address in
any campaign.
An interesting feature Of Judge
Hiles' testimony was his declaration
that former United States Senator
Rawlins was still a Mormon, even tho
he stood out against the church or
the matter of interference in politics
Rawlins Not a Mormon.
Salt Lake, March 14.-Formel

to prison for buying as many shares
as he liked Of the Great Northern and

them at the same time and got more

Justice White also read dissenting
opinion, taking up especially the
power Of congress to control COM
merce. Beginning with arguments in
support of dissenting opinions, he out
lined the points involved In the case.
He called attention to the fact that
only four members of the court, one
less than a majority, had united in the
opinion of the court. He then said
that such principles as are laid down
in that opinion are destructive of
government, destructive of human lib
