FOLKS new POLICY
OUTLINES PLAN FOR CONTROL OF
RAILROADS.
Would Have Official Like Con-
troller of Currency to Rule
Them, With Power to Suspend
Directors and Officers for Law
Violation.

Pennington, Mo-, Oct. 15.-Gov.
Folk, who is known to oppose govern
ment ownership of railroads, has come
out in advocacy of policy of more
stringent government supervision. The
governor favors government control
similar to the present control of ma
tional banks by the federal govern
ment. He travelled with Mr.. Bryan
Friday and spoke from the same plat
form. They held conferences on the
issues of the day, and presumably dis
cussed Mr.. Bryan's advocacy of fed
eral ownership. Mr.. Folk said Satur-
day:
"If there we're a controller of rail
roads appointed by the president sub
iect to removal at pleasure, with abso.
lutte power to suspend directors or off.
GERS of interstate railroads violating
the law and appoint receivers to take
charge of the road until the operators
could furnish sufficient guarantee OF
more responsible management, the re.
suit should be to remedy evils now
existing in railroad affairs.
"In other words, give the con.
troller of railroads the power over rail.
roads that the federal government now
exercises through the controller of the
currency over national banks"

Topeka, Kan, Oct. Ex-senator
Burton has notified his attorneys to
arrange for beginning his term in pris-
on as soon as possible.
Washington, Oct. 16.-The supreme
court of the United States has denied
the petition of former United States
Senator Burton, of Kansas, for re-
hearing in the case in which he is un-
der sentence of imprisonment and fine
under the charge of accepting an at
torney's fee in case in which the
govern ment was interested while he

The case of Burton has been before
the court since 1908, when he was in
dicted in St. Louis on the charge of
accepting fee for representing the
Rialto Grain Company Of that city in
an effort to debar it from the use of
the United States mails. He was
found guilty and sentenced to serve
six months in Jail and pay fine of
So, 900. On appeal to the supreme
court the decision was reversed on a
technically and second trial was
ordered. The second verdict was
identical with the first and it was sus-
tanned bv the supreme court.

FIRST COAST GAME
UNDER RUGBY RULES

Stamford University, CAL, Oct. Is.
The first collegiate game of Rugby
football played on the Pacific coast
was played between the freshmen of
the University of California and Stan
ford Saturday. The game resulted in
3-to-O victory for the University of
California over the first year men of
Stanford.
In the first half the Stanford fifteen
had much the better of the contest,
but in the second period the tables
were turned and the ball was contin.
ually in cardinal territory. Stanford
excelled in passing the ball, but the
California men showed q greater
knowledge of the rules of the game.
Stanford was penalized frequently,
and California's score was due directly
to several successive penalties inflicted
by Referee Mack. As result OF the
first penalty, California was given q
free place-kick from the 25-yard line,
and Johns booted the ball SQUARED be-
tween the goal posts, but the score was
disallowed by the referee because the
kicker overstepped the line A mo-
ment later Johns failed to make an
other place-kick from a more difficult
angle, but the third attempt from
heeled kick sailed over the bar and
three points we're chalked up for Cali
fornia. After this score the cardinals
goal line was in constant danger. but
the Stanford youngsters rallied des-
perately and no further scoring was
done

PRISON BAG SPECULATION

of Control.
Walla Walla, Oct. 13.-The board
of control arrived here Wednesday
and has been occupied in inspecting
the new wing of the penitentiary; in
planning for the enlargement of the
capacity of the jute mill and in in
vestigating the charges of speculation
made in connection with the sale of
grain bags. The report on the grain
bag question will be made to the gov
ernor and will be made public within
two weeks.
1t is said that the board found much
evidence that speculation in grain bags
has occurred at several points in East
ern Washington and the report will
fix the responsibility. The form of
application prescribed by the board
was not used, but the old form, in
which the applicant was not required

SALT DEPOSIT PUTS
Land IN MINERAL CLASS

Olympia, Oct. 13.-Replying to an
inquiry from Land Commissioner Ross,
Attorney General Atkinson held that
a deposit of salt left by the drying up
of an old lake, should be considered
mineral and the land in question, if
belonging to the state, must not be
sold, but may be leased under the pro-
cedure set forth in Pierce's code, Sec
ton 8, 172.
The land commissioner was unable
to determine whether the salt could be
sold under the act permitting the sale
of timber, stone, fallen timber, hay
and gravel, ETC., or leased under the
section referred to above. The deposit
over which the question arose is locat-
ed in Douglas county.
