most any man can husk sixty bushels in a

SHIPPING OF CATTLE.
Large Number of Cases Against Rail-
roads Being Prepared.


Request has been. made on the Depart
ment of Justice for immediate prosecution
of four of the big railroads for the viola
ton of the twenty -eight-hour law in ship
ping cattle. The law as 1t stands makes
twenty EIGHT hours the limit in which cat
tie can be shipped continuously on a rail-
road without food, water or rest There is
a provision in the law as ameded at the
last session of Congress whereby this time
can be extended to thirty-six hours on the
request of the shipper, and this request is
made in about ninety-nine cases out Of a
HUNDRED. But the railroads are not con-
tent with this extension of the law for
which they fought desperately and there
are cases that have been brought to the
attention of the Department of Agriculture
where cattle have been held in the car as
much as ninety hours.
Eleven complete cases have been made
out by the solicitor for the Department of
Agriculture and the Secretary of Agricul-
ture has asked that the maximum fine of
$500 be imposed In each case. The Secre-
tary of Agriculture is the more provoked
over the matter since about year ago
1000 cases. were prepared by the depart
ment and the railroads begged off promis-
ing If nominal fine of 500 was imposed
in each case they would hereafter be good
and obey the law. Now it appears, how
ever, that since the railroads have gotten
what they wanted in the way of extension
of the time during which cattle may be
shipped, their defiance Of the law is more
fragrant than ever.
The law Office of the Department of Agri
culture prepared about 500 cases against
the roads and these will be sent to the De-
partment of Justice as fast the clerical
work on them can be finished. The situa-
ton is rather serious one for the rail-
roads. as the Department of Justice has
held that each shipment held over the legal
limit is a separate offense and IL there is
a different owner to each animal in car
load, the railroad may be fined the maxi
mum in every case and the penalty would
thus amount to $4,000 on single car
held over the legal time limit.

WANT TO KNOW WHISKY BETTER
Secretary Wilson and Solicitor McCabe
to Visit Distilleries.

Secretary Wilson of the Department of
Agriculture and George F. McCabe, law Of
Ger Of the department, will go to Baltimore
tomorrow to visit some Of the distilleries
there with view of ascertaining at first
hand the methods of distillers in the manu-
facture of whisky.
For several weeks Secretary Wilson and
DR.. H. w. Wiley, chief of the bureau OF
chemistry, have been conducting hearings
in order to inform themselves as to the
manufacture Of whisky, neutral spirits and
blends, so that they might prepare regula-
tons under the pure food and drugs act
that would be just to the distilIers and the
consumers. Some of the distillers who ap-
peared before them were not lucid in their
statements, and the Secretary decided to
visit few Of the large disti.leries to get
the Information he desires.
81 want to know" said Secretary Wilson
today, Just how these various articles are
made, what they contain and how the man
ufacturers think they ought to be labeled.
We are simply in quest of information that
will enable us to frame proper regulations
and determine upon labels that will meet
the requirements of the law. That will be
the extent of our inquiry. Beyond that it
has no significance whatever"
1t is likely that the regulations of the de-
partment respecting whisky will not be is
sued for some time. although the pure food
law will become effective on January 1 next
The Secretary says he Is determined to
know all about the subject before promul-
eating the regulations and fixing the labels

GREAT DEMAND FOR IRON.
Prosperous Year Closing With Record
Activity.

ACTIVITY.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, December 27.-The
Iron Trade Review today says:
1.-The remarkable prosperity which has
prevailed throughout the past year closed
the year with record activity in iron and
steel making So insistent Is the demand
for both iron and finished materials that
the usual holiday slackening Of operations
is being omitted wherever possible. The
selling of pig iron during the week has
been largely confined to the east, though
throughout the country there have been
numerous sales for third-quarter delivery to
such an extent in fact that number of
producers are already out of the market
for that period. Basic has been selling read
lily in the east for the last half of 1907.
Southern pig iron continues to advance.
while railroad conditions growing worse.
"A tendency of the times Is indicated in
the purchase by the Lackawanna Steel Com
pany of extensive coal properties OF }. w.
Ellsworth & Co.. the idea being to provide
the steel company with adequate supply
of coking and gas coal. Coke is In much
demand for spot delivery, with prices tend
ing upward in most sections. ....s.... -..-
Lake navigation closed with very heavy
tonnage of ore on lower lake docks ana
there Is little possibility of suffering on the
part of furnaces tributary to this district
In the east and Virginia, however, num-
Der of furnaces which delayed making con-
tracts are now becoming alarmed over their
ore supply and may not be able to operate
continuously during the coming year.
In structural and other finished mate
rails increased activity is manifested. Both
plate and sheet deliveries are now well into
the future and much premium business IS
being done. Wire products, iron and steel
bars are sold many months ahead. An ad-
vance is announced on merchant pipe and
boiler tubes

CHASED AUTO WITH CAR.
Woman Nearly Run Down Urges the
Motorman to Go Faster.

NEW YORK, December 27.-With the
controller bar swung to the top speed
notch and with an aged woman on the front
platform eXhorting the motorman to over
take a chauffeur who had almost run her
down while she was waiting for the car. a
thrilling race took place late Tuesday
afternoon in upper Broadway between a
Broadway surface car and a touring auto
mobile driven by John MacMahon, chauf-
feur for l.. R. Dick broker, who lives at
II West 1O2d street.
Through the thoroughfare, crowded with
churchgoers theater crowds and the gayly
dressed Christmas throng, the car sped
almost twenty-five blocks after the auto
mobile. With not a stop from both to
10Ith streets, the speed battle was contest
ed Finally, in the latter street, the car
whzzed ahead of the automobile, and
Henry c. Lichlin, son of the woman, jump
ed off and with Policeman O'Conner, sue
ceeded in arresting the automobilist.
Lichln and his mother, who is partly
paralyzed, were waiting for a southbound
Broadway car at Manhattan street and
Broadway, when MacMahon, alleged to
have been driving at speed, whizzed by,
narrowly missing Mrs. Lichlin. Lichlin
lifted his mother into car that was di-
rectly behind the fleeing machine, and,
gaining the conductors sympathy, sue
ceeded. with his mother, in persuading
the motorman to give chase.
Inside the car excitement among the
passengers ran high as the race went on,
stops being forgotten in the general inter-
est to the outcome. In the vestibule
with the motorman, Mr.. Lichlin, his
mother and the conductor stood, entreat-
ing him to hurry.
MacMahon was locked up, charged with
reckless driving. He asserted he had been
forced to steer in close to Mrs. Lichlin
because of an excavation near which she
had been standing.
Lichlin did not forget to remember that
il was Christmas, and the conductor and
motorman each received bill for their re-
ward.

MAY DEFEAT BROWNS WILL.
Chance for Mrs. Bradley's Children to
Share Estate.
leciaI Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SALT LAKE, Utah, December 27.-By
a peculiar coincidence victory won by
former Senator Arthur Brown in his life
time is likely to result in the defeat of his
wishes after death. Brown was recently
killed in Washington by Mrs. Annie NJ.
Bradley whom he sought to desert after
she had borne him two children. She is
now awaiting trial in Washington for muir
der
Browns will was opened in Salt Lake
City. and it was found that he expressly
forbade that any share of his $4,000 es-
tate should go to Mrs. Bradley to two
children of whom She declares he is the
father. Although he expressly repudiates
the children in his WILL he frequently ac-
kn5wledged them during his lifetime This
brings up the legal point that may result
In the award to them OF share of the es-
tate.
As an outgrowth of the former polyga-
NOUS practices in Utah there is a new law
on the statute books that provides that an
iliegitinate child shall be legal heir OF
the father.
This law was enacted to protect the chill
dren of plural wives. Former Senator
Brown was an attorney in two cases in
which the constitutionality of the law was
tested-the cases of Atwood and of Cope
against Cope. In each case he contended
for the rights of the illegitimate children
The case of Cope against Cope was car
ried to the Supreme Court of the United
States. and that tribunal in an opinion
written by Justice Brown upheld the law
In the opinion Justice Brown said: lille
Ultimate children and their mothers In
herit in a like manner (as legitimate) from
the father. whether acknowledged by him
or not, providing II shall be made to appear
to the satisfaction Of the court that he
was the father of such illegitimate chill
dren.'
The decision, following a briliont legal
fight by the former senator. will now be
cited to break his will and give share
of the estate to Mrs. Bradley and the two
children.
