PRICES AND THE LAW.

Writing in the Michigan Law Review
In answer to some estimable gentle
men who are crying out against at
tempts to regulate the trusts on the
ground that such action is an unwar-
rantable Interference with the rights
of the individual d. w. Frederickson
points out that no new principle is in
volved. He shows that many centur-
les ago in England the law took
decided stand in fixing the prices of
Commodities necessary TO the welfare
Of the people.
There were prescribed legal rates
FOR wine, meat. beer bread, rish. can
dies, cloth. poultry, MOTEL and ferry
rates, carriage and blacksmith charg-
es. rates on interest and rates OF
wages. The man who charged more
than the lawful price was made to
feel the heavy weight of the laws dis
pleasure. Merchants were fined and
imprisoned when they took Advantage
Of the necessities of the people and #
they persisted they were driven out Of
business entirely.
1t may be true that it is not neces-
sary for the law to fix prices now,
but such action might become neces-
sary. Indeed, it is partly in effect at
the present time. Nobody seriously
objects to- the laws in many states
In relation to usury. A large majority
Of the states. in fact. say that tn
money lender shall not charge more
than a prescribed rate. If he goes
beyond it he is subject to certain
pains and penalties. the least of
which is the forfeiture of the extra in
terest. Yet money is, in sense, 4
commodity that men who own it are
not permitted to traffic in.
Now, if it is right to fix the price
of money, why is it not right to TX
the price of -four and sugar and coffee
and bread and other necessary arti-
cles? 1t seems to US that our mono
polistic friends have not a leg to stand
On when they set up the claim that It
Is unfair for the government to med
die in their private business. It is
fair, and the only wonder is that tho
captains Of industry have been permit
Ted to conduct their business with a
free hand for so long time.
The beginning of the end of their
day seems to be at hand. however.
More and more of them are being
driven to the shelter of spacious ar
gument and piteous pleas for delay.
And the credit must, in all fairness,
be given to President Roosevelt for
his thoDughgoing acceptance of the
Democratic doctrine that the trusts
must be controlled

sence Of a mustache, without which the oldest Phoenician had never seen him. It was soon made known that Col. Millay had sworn to go through the rest of his life beardless. That was a resolution he made at Yuma on Thursday. When Col. MiIlay went 10 Eureka he decided that on account of the more rigorous climate O. that region he would indulge in the luxury of full whiskers. Though still in mid de life, for years his beard had had q tendency to grayness; the original pigments of youth had departed Therefore, when he started from Eu- reka for Phoenix a few days ago he had a six weeks growth of beard which was almost white. Some time while the train was between Yuma and Indio a lady with whom Mrs. Mill lay had become casually acquainted after the train left Los Angeles asked her if Col. Millay was not her father. When this was made known to the colonel he suddenly decided to lay over for one day at Yuma in order to avoid the possibility of future mistakes like that. Not only his whiskers but his mustache went.

MANY HORROR STRICKEN.
Hundreds of Spectators Vie1cing
Ship When Explosion Occurred.

San Diego, Cal. July 21.-One OF the most
S-ightfui disasters in the peace history Of the
American Navy occurred in San Diego Bay
soon after 1870 a. n. to-day. on the United
States gunboat Bennington. The warship lying
at anchor. with her officers and crew quietly
attending 10 their duties was an object of in
terest 10 hundreds OF people on piers. pleasure
boats and passing ferryboats. Hundreds were
admiring her when a cloud Of steam suddenly
burst from point just forward of the~smoke-
stack out Of which the spectators were Mortified
TO see bodies and human fragments hurled high
in the air and scattered over the surrounding
water.
The outburst was accompanied by roar like
thunder and a shock that rocked vessels near by
In instant the air was dlled with shrieks and
cries of pain from the wounded, which could b.
heard ashore, and with flying fragments Of
human beings and pieces of the ships super
structure The next moment bleeding and Grip
pied sailors were in the water fighting against
death in only less sudden form than that from
which they had escaped. Rowboats, sailboats
launches and tugs went to the rescue fast as
arms, wind and steam could propel them.
A feITyboat which was near turned and
FASTENED to render assistance her deck
crowded with frightened men and women who
saw the havoc that had been wrought.
A horrible sight met the view OF those who
approached. In the water men with blackened
faces and handicapped by injuries were strug-
Cling. Others on deck were covered with blood
and CRIME Some dead. Some. although
wounded were working TO rescue comrades who
were yet below.
The smaller boats turned their attention to
those in the water, taking them to the wharves
as soon few had been taken aboard At the
wharves preparations speedily made for
taking care Of the injured. Ambulances were
telephoned for. every express wagon and driver
moned, physicians were called and hospitals In
formed.
Within half an hour from the time Of tn ex-
plosion carriages. buggies. automobiles and
Etreetcsrs were bearing victims toward the hos
pitfalls
The sight which met the eyes OF hundreds
along the street was one never TO be forgotten
Wagons with q dozen wounded men were not
rare. One had eight sitting OF reeling against

comrades near TO death. ali OF them with faces
black with smoke and CRIME and many clothed

Some OF those without clothing, not injured In
vital parts but suffering the agonies OF torn

the wind. One. whose arm was twisted and
whose face and breast were covered with blood
locked at his own flesh. hanging and dropping

Many men. with blackened bodies, were hur-

from which steam continued to pour in great
clouds. Everywhere blood and in all direc-
tions were bodies. The after cabin was smeared
with blood. and the walls. ceiling and floor
splotched with red
From the depths below, from which heat and
steam rolled in volumes too great to face, came
the groans and walls of the dying and the
shrieks OF the wounded.
Tugs and launches soon were headed for the
shore bearing those whose injuries permitted
removal, and bodies Of the dead.
All the time the work Of rescue was going
on the ship was settling to starboard. and
clouds of white steam poured from her inte-
rior News of the disaster spread like wildfire
over the city, and soon the harbor was lined
with people.
Commander Young who was ashore getting
deck. He at once ordered the alright compart-
ments closed, and signalled a tug to tow the
ship into shallow water. Then he took charge
OF the eickening work at hand.
The explosion occurred in the main starhoard
boiler forward of the smokestack. The force
Of the explosion was terrific beyond conception.
human bodies were hurled into the air to a
height OF probably not less than two hundred
feet. Sections Of the upper deck were carried
away from stem to stern, and aft hole
blown in the side of the warship, into which
the water poured. causing the rapid listing of
the vessel
Most of the men on board were assembled be-
tween decks, above the boilers, when the ex-
plosion occurred. Here is where the most
frightful slaughter took place. No one living
but vivid witnesses exist in the blood smeared
walls.
