never entirely on one side, but that the

The official returns from cities and
towns of over eight thousand inhabi-
tants in the United States which show,
according to William E. Curtis, that the
average yearly salary paid to the
teachers in American elementary schools
is much less than the wages paid to
ordinary workmen in the coal mines of
our country. are just as suggestive as
they are interesting. There is a present
demand and an increasing need for
better prepared teachers, and this con-
dition is quite likely to continue and to
increase in degree unless it shall come
to be the general policy of city and
country to be more just in providing
for teachers wages. The average of
compensation to teachers has not
materially increased during the past
ten years. This is true of no other oc-
cupation or employment. Why should
it be true of the republics most intel
ligent toilers in most important field2

ton of hostil ties until Russias honor
is indicated by victory in Man
chtTia. Equal resentment is aroused
by foreign criticism OF General StOes-
sci for blowing up the ships in the
harbor and destroying the town OF
Port Arthur when he could no longer
defend them.
Accounts received from Port Ar
thur refugees of the straits to which
the garrison was reduced before it
surrendered are almost uneXampled.
It is quite true that some explosives
were left wherewlth the ships and
some houses were destroyed; but the
ammunition of many of the forts was
absolutely exhausted. Some had not
fired a shot for two days before the
negotiations opened. The men had
been living solely on rice for a month,
and many were suffering from scuryy.
Even the effective soldiers were nearly
all wounded and dropped asleep
amidst the Japanese bombardment be-
side their own useless guns. One mid
shipman who had passed through the
siege has turned a white-haired, pre-
maturely aged man.
Admiration here for the heroic de-
tense is mingled with wonder how
General Stoessel continued to hide the
true condition from the world
While the general impression Is that
peace at this stage is impossible there
always is the possibility in autocratic
government that the unexpected may
happen. The suggestion that President
Roosevelt would be willing to tender
the good Offices of the American gov
eminent in case Russia intlmated that
it will be acceptable has aroused a
most friendly feeling; but from Off
cial sources the Associated Press is
informed that Russia can give no such
intimatiOn and will continue to refuse
anything except direct proposals from
Japan.

VICTORY FOR ]. ]. HILL
U. S. Court DissOlves Injunction
Against Northern Securities Co.
JUDGE GRAY FILES DISSENT

Order Restraining Distribution OF
Northern Pacific Stock On Pro
Rata Basis Is Dissolved BY This
Decision.
Philadelphia, Jan. 4.-The United
States circuit court OF appeals mas
handed down its decision in the IA
mous Northern Securities case. II re-
verses the New Jersey court, setting
aside the temporary injunction re-
straining James j. Hill. OF the Great
Northern Railroad company, and ).
p. Morgan from distributing the North
ern Pacific stock put into the Northern
Securities company on a pro rata
basis
Briefly. the decision is a victory Tor
the Hill-Morgan combination over H.
H. Hartman. the man who placed a
controlling interest In the Northern
Pacific railroad into the Northern Sc
curitics company. Mr. Hartman prob
ably loses control OF the first named
company, which is regarded as serl-
Gus blow 10 his plans. The fight, under
the surface, was for control Of this
road. and Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Morgan
have won an important point in the
litigation looking to that end.
Mr.. Hill. through his leading coun-
sci. John G.. Johnson, contended that
when the Northern Securities com
pany was formed. and when the rulers
of the Northern Pacific company turn
ed over their stock in return for
shares in the great combination, they
sold the railroad to the Northern Sc
curities company, and that the latter
corporation then and there acquired
the equitable as well as the legal title
thereto.
Mr.. Hartman could not see things
in this light. He contended in all
phases of the litigation that the
Northern Securities company was
merely holding company. or deposi-
tory for the stocks involved. and that
the legal and equitable owners OF the
stocks were the persons who turned
them into the Northern Securities
company al the time the combination
was formed The court, in deciding
that Hill is in the right. seems to have
decided that the transaction was one
OF purchase and sale
The Northern Securities company Is
the owner of 1887. 594 shares OF North
ern Pacific stock, and l.1Sl,242 shares
OF Great Northern stock, which the
government by its famous suit, so tied
ND that the combination was restrained
from voting or receiving dividends
upon ii.
When the government had succeed
ed in breaking up the Northern Sc
curities company the men back OF
that corporation met TO decide how
to distribute the shares put into it.
Mr.. Hartman demanded that the
stock of the Northern Pacific company
be returned 10 him and his followers.
The Hill-Morgan plan, however, con-
templated a pro rata distribution OF
the stocks to each and every share
holder. Seeing control of the Northern
Pacific slipping away from him, Mr..
Hartman went into court
He secured a temporary injunction
from the United States circuit court
for the district OF New Jersey. re-
straining the Hill-Morgan interests
from making a pro rata distribution.
The case was heard by three
judges-Acheson. Dallas and Gray.

Puter, recently convicted in this city

in contradiction of statements Issued
by United States Senator Mitchell, in
dicted on Saturday last by a federal

presented at the criminal trial OF the
persons recently convicted.

Mitchell $4,000 to use his influence

told the truth, and Senator Mitchell
knows IT,"
Puter's statement continues as fol-
lows:
Il gave Senator Mitchell $4,000 to
get those patents through, and | Will
say that | never regretted telling any
thing so much in my life as the fact
that Mitchell took the money. | never
told a living soul in my life before
gave the details to Mr.. Heney. Mitchell
had no intimation from me as to the
fraudulent character Of the entries to
this land.
81 never so much as intimated 1t to
him. But when Hermann gave me to
understand that the land was down
and out and that the matter would
have to be referred back to the Oregon
City land Office, l went to Senator
Mitchell and told him that these pat
ents would have to go through, for
the reason that II they were referred
back to the original office the whole
thing would be lost. told him that the
entrymen were scattered and that 1t
would be impossible to get them to-
gether.
81 laid two $1,000 bills on the table.
Mitchell said that it was too much. |

why Commissioner Hermann threw the
claims out. | do not know to this day
why he did 1t, but when he told me

PRIMARY TROUBLES

Investigation into the fraud
attendant upon the recent munich
pal primary in Richmond was
brought to close last Thursday
The grand jury presented a re-
port to Judge Witt of the Hust-
lngs Court to the effect that after
careful examination of all the
facts obtainable there was not
found sufficient evidence to war
rant any indictments. The word
ing of this part Of the report
seems to justify the suspicion that
there were many things which
led the jury to suspect something
out of the way, but nothing could
be proven.
The report concludes: 1--WE
feel constrained to emphasize the
great Importance of our best cit
liens being more ready and willing
to perform their duty as patriotic
citizens when called upon to serve
as election officers, as it is a part
OF our necessary machinery of
government, and no citizen should
shrink from the performance Of
this most important service"
The jury recommended that the
investigation be pursued no furth-
Ell, as it seemed to be full and COM
plete. Judge Witt adopted the
suggestion and discharged the
jury.

All Amherst is in excitement
over dastardly criminal assault
which took place in the centre of
the town last Sunday night. Who
the assailant was is not known,
but the circumstances point to
one or two negroes. Sheriff Beard
has procured bloOd.hOunds, and
the country side was secured. The
dogs three times trailed to a
neglo's cabin near by the scene of
the crime. No definite evidence
has been occurred. Guards HAYS
been placed at the Amherst depot,
and all of the trains will be watch
ed. The victim of the crime is
the young wife of Mr.. Frank
Brown of Amherst. She says
that her assailSEt was negro,
but further than this she is I'm.
able to say. Mrs. Brown is suffer-
