SCHOOL Of DIVINITY
AND ONE OF HUMANITY
Bigelow Gives Able Answer
to Professor Of Theolog-
ical Seminary.
Economics Without Land
Question Is Like Literature
Without Shakespeare.

Cincinnati, Ohio, March AT the
Vine Street Congregational church, to-
day, the pastor, Herbert S. Bigelow,
read letter written by the president
Of a college for the education Of young
men for the ministry. The president
had been asked to permit q meeting OF
the students for the purpose of con-
sidering the proposal to substitute a
tax on land values for the general
property tax. A similar meeting had
been sanctioned in the University OF
Cincinnati and in many of the
churches. The refusal of the president
Of this particular college was a sur
prise, and the excuse offered was re-
markable. He said: Il wish to state
that the -- College cannot make
propaganda for Single Tax principles
The study Of sociology I want to pro-
mote among the students, but not such
ideas as may mislead them into parti-
san politics.
Without giving names or dealing in
personalities, Mr.. Bigelow commented
on this letter as follows:
1.-THE study of sociology to be of any
practical value must include economics,
or the problems Of the production and
distribution Of wealth. To study eco
nomics without considering the land
question and the question of taxation,
would be like studying English litera-
ture without considering Shakespeare.
If one were to eliminate from the
study Of sociology everything which
might lead to partisan politics. what
would there be left worth knowing
about the subject?
"A school of divinity should be a
school of humanity. Every theological
seminary should have chair in soci-
ology, and the instruction Of this de-
partmept should be practical and deal
with present day problems.
It is in the conduct of great corpora
tions, in the legislation that creates
them; in the politfcai struggles where
men scheme and striya Tor subsidies
and tariffs and franchises; here are
the great temptations Of. our age;
here, where power is greatest. we zee
immortality in its ugliest; and most dan.

UNCLE SAM AFTER BEEF
TRUST IN DEAD EARNEST
Cites witness to Appear and
Give Testimony Before
Federal Court,
Attorney Believes Evidences
Sufficient to Send Million-
aires to Jail.

Chicago, ILL.,. March 2.-After many
months of investigation by it's secret
service agents and representatives oG
the Department of Commerce and La
Dor, the United States government has
begun its battle against monopoly by
a simultaneous attack against tho ale
legged beef trust in fifteen cities, in-z
GLIDING Chicago. Government officials
at Washington say the inQuisition
which will be conducted in Chicago by
a special grand jury may result in jail
sentences for some of the packers for
alleged violations of the Sherman anti
trust law and Of Judge Crosscup's in-s
junction. The penalty for each viola
tfon Of the Sherman law Is two years
in the penitentiary or $1,000 fine, or
both.
The special grand jury was sum.s
moned by District Attorney Sol Bethea,
under direct orders from Attorney Gem
eral Moody, who is carrying out the
presidents instructions to send tho
packers to jail If they are guilty" The
evidence which Mr.. Bethea has ready
to submit to the grand jury has been
submitted to the president and in de-
tail to Attorney General Moody in the
course of several recent conferences
Both the President and Mr.. Moody be-
lieve the proof of the packers guilt 10.

cure convictions in the most important
cases, if not in all of them.

ing deputy marshals spent the entire
day and a portion of the evening serv-1
ing subpoenas on officials, clerks, and
other persons connected with the vari-
GUS packing in Chicago, and
with branch offices and plants in other
cities, summOning them to appear be-
fore the grand jury of the United
States District Court of the Northern
District of Illinois on and after March
20. to tell what they know of alleged
violations of the injunction issued by
Judge Grosscup two years ago. This
injunction was On Jan. 80 of this year
upheld by the Supreme Court of the
United States.
This move on the part of the governs
ment has been under secret contemplas
t1on for long time, and Is believed to
but the forerunner Of a determined ef-
fort to learn the status not only Of the
an-called beef trust. but -of pther Il,

MILWAUKEE, ASSEMBLY
FORMS TRADE SECTION.
Building Trades Section Of
Trades Council is Cream
City Plan.
Proves to be the Most Harmon-
ious Method for Treating {
Troubles.

Milwaukee. March 2.-Initiatorv
steps for the formation Of q BUILDING
trades among the locals constitutina.
the Federated Trades council wera
taken at meeting Of delegates held
yesterday morning. Nearly every
building; trade union was represented
about seventy-fve delegates presenting
credentials. Richard Fuelle of the car
penters was chosen chairman. Another
meeting will be held Sunday morning.
when it is believed that a permanent
organization will be effected by the.
adoption of a constitution and q set OF
bylaws. Work on the constitution was,
begun yesterday morning. but it was
deemed best to advise with the several
locals through their delegates before
being farther.
The delegates from the Building
Trades council who were in evident ma-,
jority were not disposed to take ad-
vantage of this fact. but in concilia.s
tory mood made many concessions that
were in favor Of the Federated Trades
council. The only trouble, IL any should
arise, will be through the attitude or
other trades, notably the brewery work
ers. will assume toward the new orr
ganization. The delegates present see4n-
ed united on one propositions that the
section should not be dominated by
the council, but should on the contrary
assume a Coordinate position under
limitations OF the constitution OF the
parent body. Its trade agreements shalI
not be subject to hnal approval OF The
council, nor shall the council at any
time be permitted to make any terms

THE RAILROAD PROGRESS.

There are but a few men employed
on the lone and Eastern railroad.
These are chiefly at work in the
Oneida valley extending the line to
the mill. The company Is under
agreement to furnish all facilities of
delivering and receiving freight to
the Oneida. Beyond this however,
little or no work has been done. The
talk of extending the line to jackson
seems to be premature 1t looks very
doubtful whether the track will be
laid any nearer to this town than the
Oneida mine for long time. 1t is
expected to lay the side track, etc,
this week. The entire road has been
ballasted for traffic and it Is reported
the line will be opened for general
traffic, passenger and freight, by the
1st of July. Considerable freight in
car load lots is arriving at the depot
daily, principally oil and lumber for
the various mines.

THE MINE WRECKERS.

Ferdinand Saroni and W. q. Nit
chell, who were arrested for wrecking
the Angels mine with dynamite, have
been held to answer before the super
ior court of Calaveras county.
The defense presented no evidence at
the preliminary examination, accord
ing to report published in the stock
ton Independent, which contains the
following additional information:
'Charles Holmes, who confessed to
the sheriff and district attorney, after
becoming frightened, was ON the stand
for about five hours. He went into
all of the details of the case from the
time he was asked to participate in it
until the men were arrested. He stat
ed that it was on May 10Th that Saroni
learned that he was to be discharged.
Mitchell was conferred with and the
proposition of wrecking the mine was
Matched.
"The witness went on to say that
plans were outlined and he was to do
a certain portion of the work. He did
not spare himself and told in detail
everything that he had done and as
much as he knew of the acts of Saroni
and Mitchell The drilling of the
holes and setting of the charges we're
described minutely by Holmes. At
the time he did not appear to under
stand the seriousness of what he was
doing, but later he became frightened
and confessed his part of the affair
"He stated that on May 3Oth the
miners were moved to another point
in the mine so that the work OF drill
ing could be carried on without any
one discovering it. Later in the day
the men were returned to where they
had been working but foreman Saroni
informed them that the mine was
dangerous at that particular point and
they were sent away again.
"On May 30th Mitchell made the
remark in the hearing of the book
keeper that there would be something
doing, and he was questioned but
managed to avert suspicion by fooling
the officers of the mine. On June 5th
he is again said to have made numer-
Gus remarks, which may have some
bearing on the case.
"After the testimony was closed
bail for each of the men was fixed at
$1,000 and on their failure to give it
they were remanded to the custody of
the sheriff. The bail before the pre-
liminary was $4,000 but the Justice de-
c1ded to increase the amount owing
to the evidence brought out. -
Amador ledger., 1905-06-23

Our contemporary, the Dispatch,
wants the supervisors to oil the lone
road, Notwithstanding the fact that
the advent OF the railroad will take
nine-tenths of the travel therefrom.
After the disastrous experience of last
year in this line, when between $1,000
and $4,000 of public money was thrown
away in oiling this roadway, the
suggestion is very suggestive. The
people will ask themselves why the
Dispatch advocates the frittering away
of the county money in any such way.
1t certainly cannot be from a desire
to protect the public interests. Is it
for political reasons, to get the super
visors of the districts concerned into
disfavor with their constituents. The
Ledger has sufficient confidence in
the judgment of the supervisors that
they will decline following such per
nicious advice.
Amador ledger., 1905-06-23
IMPORT OF HOME PRODUCTS.

Some idea of the local trade that is
lost without any good reason therefor
may be gained from the following
fact. One business house in jackson
has bought ten thousand dozen of eggs
from the outside within year.
Reckoning them at 20 cents a dozen,
this represents an outlay of. 81, 600. A
merchant prefers to deal with home
of his customers if they had the pro-
duct to sell. That he buys outside is
because he Is unable to get the guam
tity in the county. The demand for
eggs is far greater than home ranchers
and poultry raisers can supply. From
one house sufficient money is sent
abroad in this product alone to main
tain family all the year round.
And this county is as we'll adapted
for chicken raising as any other por-
tion of the state. The industry ought
to thrive here. The climate is Ideal;
and there is money in the business
when properly conducted. 1t is the
same in regard to poultry. Thous-
ands of dollars are sent every year
from jackson alone to enrich outside
poultrymen. In this branch of bust
ness eggs and poultry, a dozen addi-
tional families might live in comfort
from the trade of the county seat.
In many other lines the same lack
of energy prevails. The toothill
section ought to be heavy exporter
of such products, instead of a heavy
importer. 1t is hoped the railroad
will change all this, and lead to the
incoming of families that will develop
these business openings. Amador
people have need to awaken to the op-
portun1ties that lie around them. 1t
is no use to say the field is uninvit-
ing and Improbable. 1t pays else
where in California, and the condi-
tions in Amador county are as favor
able for such enterprises as elsewhere
in the state.
Amador ledger., 1905-06-23
A NEW INDUSTRY.

William Froellch, who was last week
on visit to his daughter and sister,
Mrs Kremmel, near Martel's station,
informs us that he his preparing to
start brand new industry at Kings
bury, Fresno county, not far from
Fresno. He with number of others
have formed company, and are put
ting up $3.50 plant for the pur-
pose of engaging ID the manufacture
of grape syrup on large scale. We
understand there is not another in
dustry of this character in the state,
and this new venture promises a big
reward to the enterprising promoters,
and is likely to open up flourishing
industry in that section of the state.
Amador ledger., 1905-06-23
NEGLECTED OPPORTUNITIES.

If the people of Amador county had
taken advantage of the wealth of re-
sources which nature has laid at their
feet, this section would be today one
of the most popuIous and thrifty in
the state. As it Is are tagging far
behind in the race ii progress. We
have relied too much upon the store
house of gold which nature has hid
den beneath our soil land neglected
other sources of industry scarcely less
important. Nature has lavished her
favors here, but there has been a lam
entable backwardness in utilizing
them for profit. We have riches in our
sunlight, in our invigorating air, in
our mountain streams, in our forests,
and in our fertile soil, and what use
have we made of them. The Canaan
of old, that recompensed the Israelites
for forty years of wanderings in the
wilderness, was not to be compared in
its attrctiveness with this foothilI
paradise. We lack nothing, except
the spirit to grasp our wonderful pos
sibilities. We have not taken the
trouble to tell the outside world OF
blessings which have been showered
upon us with so lavish hand. The
popular idea of this gold bearing re-
gion held by strangers is that it is a
barren waste; that outside of its min
eral resources, it is a land to be
Stunned as a place of permanent
abode. These lIbels have passed with.
out adequate correction, and are
actually believed by the masses
of intending immigrants. After
over half a century of contact
with civilization, pouring out
wealth in such abundance that marked
the dawn of new era, it seems in
credible that such erroneous ideas
should be generally entertained. Even
down in the southern part of the state,
if visitor from the east asks about
the nothern section, he is informed
that outside of gold mining there is
nothing to invite the home seeker in
the mountains OF foothills.

TRACTION ENGINE BARRED.

The props have all been taken out
from under the main Broadway
bridge, by orders of supervisor
Strohm. The reason for this action
is that permission was given to take
the heavy machinery for the Standard
Company to Electra, but when that
was hauled, the traffic by traction en-
gine would be stopped. 1t is claimed
and rightly too, that the traction
engine cuts up our streets, damages
the bridges and culverts, and thereby
throws extra burdens upon the road
funds. The only way to stop it was
to remove the props, and forbid any
more being placed under the bridge.
The oil for the Zeila is now being
hauled from the depot at Martell's by
team.
