GOVERNMENT VICTORY.
Real Significance of Result Of Paper
Trust Suit Set Forth.

NEW YORK. May l2.--James NJ
Dieck of this city, who, with Frank B
Kellogg of st. Paul, represented the
government as special counsel in the
case brought by the attorney general
against the General Paper Company last
night said:
Yesterdays decision is gratifying TO
the governments counsel, but was clear
" foreshadowed by the decision of the
Supreme Court in passing upon the re-
fusal of the General Paper Company to
show its books and papers. That decis-
ion indicated that if the facts were as
the counsel for the government said
they were the testimony was relevant
and would support decree.
"The real significance of this case
consists not merely in the important de-
cision rendered by the Supreme Court
as to the power of the government to
compel a corporation to produce its
books and papers, notwithstanding the
fifth and fourteenth amendments but in
the fact that it was held to be within
the provision of the Sherman antitrust
law for number Of competing corpora
tions to establish a common sales
agency.
"In this case some twentyeight cor
porations, which were manufacturing
paper formed a corporation called the
General Paper Company and practically
sold all of their product through the
General Paper Company to the trade.
The General Paper Company fixed the
prices made the allotments among the
mills and after deducting percentage
for its expenses, remitted the balance to
the constituent companies in proportion
to their ouput."

BLAME THE MUMMIES
Spread OF tuberculosis Caused
By Mummies.
BACCILu INFECT BODIES
Alleged That Great Spread Of White
Plague in America is Due to
Importation of Egyptian
Mummies.

CHICAGO, May l2.-.Egyptology YER
sus health" was the title of a mono.
graph received at the headquarters OF
the tuberculosis institute of Chicago
yesterday in which it was alleged that
the great spread of tuberculosis and in
America in the last 100 years found its
cause in the disinterment and shipment
broadcast over the land of the mummies
which had reposed so long in the tombs
of the Pharaoahs.
The monograph was written by DIR.
Rafaelle Sorgnac. one of the lecturers
at the Sorbonne in Paris, who was an
interested visitor at the recent Tuber-
culosis exhibit in this city.
"That the disinterred mummiss start
ed the spread of the tuberculosis germs
in Egypt cannot be doubted" says DR..
Sorgnae in his monograph. There are
more tuberculosis germs in the almost
impalpable dust around mummy than
in many cuspidors of effluvia.
''These germs live for thousands OF
years, as has easily been proven, and
the exhumation of the bodies, even the
well preserved ones, caused an epidemic
of consumption among the workmen and
scholars who first exhumed the bodies
1t is also well known that the keepers
of the mummy cases have been subject
to the disease.
"The start of tuberculosis in France
in serious sense may be traced to the
great importation Of mummies and
mummy cases at the time of the Ma
poleonic invasion of Egypt and this
start gave the disease its first great
foothold in Europe, whence it has spread
all over the western world. Dead bodies
may not secrete the germs, but dead
bodies are undoubtedly favorite lodg-
ing place for the tubercular bacilli.
"The bacilla from the mummies are
undoubtedly of great age and it has
been shown by experiments in Paris
that these agent bacilli are infinitely |
more deadly than those obtained from
the sputm of live persons who are in
fected.'

of the proposed road. The company
will be capitalized at S5O,000 with
the privilege of increasing this by

not exceeding $300,O00
The road which it is proposed to
build will extend from Statesboro,
in Bulloch county, to Louisville, in
Jefferson county, a distance of about
60 miles. It win pass through Gar
field also. The country in which the
road is to be laid is one of the richest

Railroad commission's Report.


In it's thirty-third annual report the
state commission gives a brief his
tory of the work done during the past
year, much of which, such as the re-
duced stove rates and the reduced
local rates on the Southern, Central
and Coast Line, is tied up in litigation
in the United States courts.
The commission strongly urges some
uniform method for the arbitration Of
railroad tax returns.
A comparatively new feature of the
railroad commissions report is its
recommendation that it be given au-
th0rity to require the railroads of this
state to fun extra passenger trains
whenever their regular trains are out
of schedule time.
The commissions report shows that
there were 6,424.46 miles Of railroad
in Georgia on January /, 1906, as
against 6,220.31 on January l, 1905.
The gross earnings OF all the railroads
in the state in 1905 were S33, 232, 891.12
as against $3O,742,O15.5O in 1904; OPP
Grating expenses were $23,303,67O.5l
as against 21,774,9253T; net earnings
S1O,O16.O7415 as against $9,026,644.
The percentage of operating expenses
to gross earnings was 1850 per cent
as against 70.S3 per cent in 1904.
