Roads Are Bad.
Mr.. Park reports that the roads were
in horrible shape in some places. and
there were few places in which they
might be called good The best stretch
was from Elkridge to Baltimore, which
is shell road.
The ride was made for the purpose of
establishing a record, and its object was
accomplished. This is said to be the
fastest time ever made between the two
cities, except by locomotive. Mr.. Park
has eSta ablished similar records on all
the various styles of machines, from
the old high wheel to the present motor
cycle. He will shortly make an effort
tc set a new mark for the long route
from here to Baltimore, which is about
Efty-dve miles
Several Delays.
There were several delays yesterday
which added to the time. Five minutes
were lost at the start in adjusting a
sparkling device. Three more minutes
were lost at Laurel owing to a horse
taking fright at the machine. Five
minutes were lost because of a cramp
in the leg. Nine miles from Baltimore
was found a mile of new road covered

BERLIN, Jan. 3o.-Commerce and
Industry Minister Moeller. speaking in
the Prussian Diet to-day, said the Gov
ernment would press the bill regulating
labor in mines. A few weeks would
suffice to prepare the proposed law.
He had hoped that the Governments
announcement that It intended to pass
such a law would result In the strfk-
ers returning to work, but to his great
regret they had not done SO, to their
own loss and that Of industry.
Herr Moeller, replying to O deputa-
tion Of coal strikers to-day, asked them
to maintain a moderate attitude and
they would retain the sympathy OF
right thinking people. The Govern
ment would do everything possible for
them
ESSEN, Jan. 1o.-ro-day's official re-
port of the coal miners strike was
awaited with unusual interest, In view
Of the Governments promised revision
of the mining laws and the decision of
the strike committee to stay out until
the promise Is redeemed. The report
actually shows an increase Of strikers.

Indications That the Other
Territories Will Be Ad-
mitted Into the Union
DATE FOR VOTE FIXED
Oklahoma With Indian Ter
ritory May Form One State
and New Mexico Another

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-It is by no
means certain how many new States
will be admitted to the Union under
the agreement reached to-day to vote
on the Joint statehood bill and it's nu-
merous amendments on Febraury T.
There are prospects. however, that
Oklahoma and Indian Territory will
come in as one State and that New
Mexico will come in as another. leav-
ing Arizona as a Territory.
Senator Beveridge. chairman OF the
Committee on Territories, who has
charge of the bill comedies that in Its
present form there is no hope for its
passage. He says that his desire now
Is to give statehood to the million and
a half of people of Oklahoma and In
dian Territory at this time, and that
later Arizona and New Mexico Will be
admitted as one State.
1t is said that several members OF
the Committee on Territories intend, II
they fail to defeat amendments to the
bill, to support the Foraker amend
ment. which they believe would have
an effect contrary to that planned by
it's author. The Foraker amendment
provides that either New Mexico or
Arizona a majority vote could de-
feat the calling of constitutional
convention of the Territories to provide
for their admission, instead of requir-
ing a majority OF all the votes Of both
Territories combined.
Members Of the Territories Commit
tee are of the opinion that the people
of the Territories, even Arizona, when
face to face with a chance to come in
jointly as one State or remain as Ter
ritories for an indefinite period would
vote to come In as one State.

RULING FAvORs HARRIsiAN.
Supreme Court Grants Petition In the
Northern Securities Case.

Northern securities case.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 30.-The Su-
preme Court Of the United States to-
day granted the peptition for a writ
Of certiorari in the case of E. H. Har-
riman and others versus the Northern
Securities Company, growing out of
the former decision of the court rela-
tive to the distribution of the stock
of the securities company. The ef-
feet of granting the writ is to bring
the case to the Supreme Court for re-
view. Argument is set for February
20 after other cases on the calendar
on that day.
After the Government suit was de-
clded against the merger, the securi-
ties company decided to distribute the
stock of each of the two railroad COM
panies among the stockholders pro-
portionately, instead of giving to each
one the stock originally deposited by
him as Hartman claims should have
been done. Hartman and his asso-
Gates represent the Northern Pacific
stockholders and they represent sS2,-
491,S71 of stock. The present case
was brought in the Circuit Court for
the District of New Jersey, which
granted an injunction against the
securities company, prohibiting the
disposal of the Northern Pacific Rail-
road stock. The Circuit Court of Ap-
peals reversed that decision, and It's
Decision Would have BEEN final, but for
the decision reached to-day to review

Extract Gold From the

Special Cable to The Call and the New York
Herald. Copyright, 1905. by the New York
Herald Publishing Company.

LONDON, Jan. 30.-Americans doubt
less will recall the associations that
were formed several years ago, after
the discovery of a method of extracting
gold from sea water, and the derision
with which the idea was laughed out of
court. London folk now have an OPP
portunity to invest their money in such
an undertaking, through which, it is
averred, an unlimited supply of pre-
water at a cost of ten pounds for every
100 pounds extracted.
Sir William Ramsey, whose scientific
reputation is of the highest, has been
retained by q syndicate which is called
the Industrial and Engineering Trust
dimited) and the shareholders of
which include Lord Brassey, Lord
Tweeddale, the Hon. Allan Gibbs, sew
eral manufacturers and Albert Sande-
mann, former Governor Of the Bank of
England. The syndicate has a modest
capital of 5000 pounds in one-pound
shares. The inventor of the process by
which 1t is hoped to make corner in
the worlds gold is H. j. Smell. Sir
William Ramsay has made expert
ments, of which he says in an informal
report that there is no doubt Smell
has proved that gold can profitably be
obtained from sea water on a large
scale and the amount of gold obtained
is so large that whether the cost of
treatment is four pounds a ton or the
outside figure of eight pounds, which
it could not exceed, it would not make
very much difference"

FINDS A GATOR
IN HIS BATHTUB
Absent Minded Student Is
Bitten by the Reptile Pet
of His Fraternity House
Special Dispatch to tn. Call.

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, Jan. 3d.
While some Of the Minnesota Univer-
sity fraternities are content toe be
known to fame on account Of spotted
pups, prize terriers, colored parrots,
trained cats, Holsters and other crea-
lures, it was left to one society TO pro-
cure a pet alligator. When it arrived
it was given the exclusive use Of
bathtub.
On Saturday night John Burridge, an
absent minded member of the frater-
nity decided to take hot bath. After
turning on the water he jumped into
the tub, only to come out again faster
than he went in. The hot water had
got the better of the alligator's genial
disposition and the reptile grabbed the
bather by the leg.
Surgeons are attending the student.
Meanwhile the young alligator has
been taken out Of the bathtub.

NINE THOUSAND
FALSE BALLOTS
Most of Them Cast for Alva
Adams in Denver in the
Election of Last November
EXPERTS MAKE REPORT
If County Vote Is Thrown
Out Peabody Will Win the
Contest, Otherwise Not

DENVER, Jan. 20.-Ten ballot boxes
were reported on by experts to-day In
the joint legislative committee hear
ing Of the PeabCjy-Adams guberna-
torial contest The experts alleged that
out Of 3O44 ballots 723 were written by
two or three persons.
The examination of ballots IN tnis
county on behalf Of Peabody has now
been completed, 104 ballot boxes having
been opened. The experts reports
show that 29,141 votes were cast In
these 104 precincts, of which l9,l6l were
for Adams and 9311 for Peabody. The
experts reported that 1905 of the Dem
ocratic and 1920 Republican ballots
were fraudulent, as they were written
by from one to four persons.
If the Legislature should grant the
original petition of former Governor
Peabody and throw out the entire vote
of all these precincts, Peabody's plu-
rality in the State would be 76. IL,
however, the Legislature should deduct
the ballots alleged to be fraudulent
from the good ones, Adams would still
have a plurality of 21S6.
Six more ballot boxes will be report
ed on tomorrow. With this report the
contestant will have finished his case
before the committee. Wednesday aft
ernoon the attorneys for the con-
testee will begin to INTRODUCES evidence.
In the trial Of Peter Miller, an cleo
tion Judge, who served In Precinct or
Ward Z, on the charge of fraud in con-
nection with his conduct of the elec-
ton, the ballot box was brought Into
the West Side Criminal Court and
opened to-day. The contents showed
nineteen straight Republican tickets,
twenty scratched tickets and 215
straight Democratic tickets. This cor
responds with the returns made to the
election commission. During to-day,
however, sixty-two persons went on
the stand and swore that they were
residents of the precinct and voted the
straight Republican ticket on Novem-
Der 8.
Miller is at present serving sentences
in the County Jail for contempt OF the
Supreme Court election injunctive or
der. The ballot box opened to-day was
not used in evidence at the contempt
proceedings for the reason that attor-
neys for the defense objected.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The Su-
preme Court of the United States to-
day decided the case of the United
States VS.. Swift & Co.. known as the
beef trust case, charging conspiracy
among the packers to fix prices on
fresh meats. The opinion was handed
down by Justice Holmes and affirmed
the decision of the court below, which
was against the packers.
In his opinion Justice Holmes dis
cussed at length the various conten-
tons Of the packers and disposed OF
them individually. He admitted that
some 9of the charges were less specific
than desirable, but said this was nee
essarily3 true on account of the vast
extent of the field covered. He added
that sufficient evidence had been
shown TO prove continuous offenses and
an offense of such a nature to justify
the proceeding. The opinion continues
the injunction granted against the
packers under the Sherman antitrust
law by the lower courts. The deci-
sion was cuncurred in by all the men,
bers of the court. Summarizing the
bills, Justice Holmes said:
PURPOSES OF COMBINE.
1T charges a combination of domi-
nant proportion of the dealers in fresh
meats throughout the United States
not to bid against each other in the
livestock markets of the different
States, to bid up prices for a few days
in order to induce the cattlemen to
send their stock to the stock yards; to
fix prices at which they will sell, and
TO that end to restrict shipments Of
meat when necessary; to establish
uniform rule of credit to dealers, ana
to keep blacklist: to make uniform
and improper charges for carriage, and
finally to get less than lawful rates
from the railroads to the exclusion OF
competitors"
Referring to the allegation of lack of
continuity in tht. charges, he said:
Whatever may be thought concern
ing the proper construction of the stat
ute a bill in equity Is not to be read
and construed as an indictment would
have been read andH construed a hun
dred years ago. but it is to be taken to
mean what it fairly conveys to a dis
passionate reader by fairly exact use
of English speech. Thus read, this bill
seems to us intended to allege success
sive elements of a single connected
scheme"
WITHIN REACH OF LAW.
He disposed of the charge Of multi
fariousness'' in the following language:
THE scheme as a whole seems to us
to be within reach Of the law. The
constituent clements, as we have stat
ed them, are enough to give to the
scheme body, and, for all that we
can say, to accomplish 1t. Moreover.
whatever we may think Of them sep
arately, when we take them up as dis
tinct charges they are alleged as ele-
ments Of the scheme. 1t is suggested
that the several acts charged are law
full, and that intent can make no diff
ference. But they are bound together
as the parts of a single plan. The plan
may make the parts unlawful. Intent
is ALMOST essential to such a convention
and Is essential to such an attempt.
