The supreme court of the United

whether a railroad company may is
sue transportation in exchange for al
vertising in newspapers, according 10
an announcement made by the Chi

be made in Illinois, or rather, an OPP
portunity will be given to the inter
state commerce commission 10 have
the courts pass on the commission
ruling thai nothing but money can
be lawfully accepted in payment for
/ transportation.
Shortly after the new rate Law went
into effect the question arose as TO
whether a railroad could continue ~
issue transportation for newspaper
advertising. 1t came before the con-
mission. and the body decided thar
under the law only money could be-
accepted. The justice of this ruling
was not seen by the legal department
Of the Chicago, indianapolis ana
Louisville railroad, and George Kretz-
niger. general counsel, and Z. c.
Field, general solicitor Of the road,
wrote to the interstate commerce
commission and gave their construc-
: TT of the law backed by decisions Of
the courts.
They said they had carefully con
sidered the law before the promulga-
ton of the rule and under their con
struction of the law had entered into
contracts in good faith with publish
ers for the publication of time cards
and other advertisements. such ser
vices to be paid with a stated sum in
transportation at the rate fixed by the
Monon's duly published tariff. which

WITH MARRIAGE LICENSE
CHICAGO DOCTOR SAYS IT'S TOO
EASY TO MARRY
Believes State Should Require Not
Only Certificate of Health from
Contracting Parties, but Also Ger
tificate of Antecedents
ev Associated Press.

Pv Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Dec. S.-State regulation
of marriage was advocated by Dr..
Frank Billings, president of the Illi-
nois state board of charities, in an ad-
dress before the national conference
on truancy. His audience was largely
made up of experts in charity and re-
formatory lines and his declaration,
while it created surprise, was greeted
with applause.
He was speaking on Should Wards
of the State Be Separated from the
Public School Children?" and drew a
picture of backward methods of in
struction which the state board of
charities had found in certain insti-
tutions.
But we physicians believe in getting
to the root of a disease" said DIR. Bill
ings, bringing his address to close.
There is no use in taking any other
point of view. The root of this trou-
BILE lies in the existing freedom of mar
riage.
Il do not believe there should be any
such freedom of marriage. 1 am nc
lawyer, but 1 would like to see society
put on it's statute books a law for
bidding two people to be married not
merely until they had secured a GER
tificate of health from a reputable
physician, but until they had obtained
certificate of inheritance showing
their antecedents.
This sounds drastic. but the in
crease in the defective classes is so i'm.
pressive as to warrant such a conclu-
sion. Two per cent of the population
of Illinois is insane. The number o
detectives is increasing per cent an
nually."

BUTTE, Mont, Dec. S.-Montana pro-
duced in the calendar year of 1905 cop
per, silver, gold and lead to the value
of $70,677, ,5S3. These values came from
5, 5,000, 900 tons of ore, and the aggregate
production was greater by $10,0S6,7 ,73G
than the value of the output of 1904
which was approximately $10,0000 0OC
greater than for the year before. Last
years production Of metals was greater
in tonnage than the year before, and
greater in value than in any previous
year in the history of the state or ter
ritory. These figures are taken from
the annual report of B. H. Tatem as
sayer in charge of the United States
assay office at Helena, sent to the di-
rector of the mint at Washington and
released for publication today. Great
as is the increase of the output of 1905
over that of 1904, the increase of the
present year over that of 1905 promises
to be more marked.

SEES WAR AHEAD

FORMER lTAI IAN MINISTER
PREDICTS TR JUBLE
Believes Austria and Italy Should
form Alliance for Protection
from Germany and Great
Britain
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
VIENNA, Dec. S.-Discussing in the
Neue Freie Presse today the relations
between Austria Hungary and Italy
Signor Luzzatti, former minister of the
Italian treasury, is quoted as stating
that the military preparations of Aus
tria along the Italian frontier are
bound to lead to the arming Of Italy.
He contended that Austria Hungary
ought to recognize that the triple al
lance offered the greatest security
for peace between Germany and the
Anglo-French alliance. The only real
danger of the peace of the world, he
said, lies in the rivalry between Ger
many and Great Britain and in a war
between those countries Austria Hun
gary and Italy would have everything
to lose. They should therefore unite
to promote a good understanding be-
tween Great Britain and Germany.
The same newspaper publishes an
interview with the Marquis di Rudini,
former premier of Italy, in which he
is reported to have said that the triple
alliance has lost it's force since Great
Britain has taken up a new position
in the worlds politics and has become
source of continual anxiety to Aus
a-Hungary and Italy.
However, added the former premier,
it would be dangerous to abandon the
triple alliance, which is necessary to
the economic and political interests
of both Italy and Austria.

As in the case of the proposed in

The inquiry will be broad and COM
prehensive, with view to ascertain

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-Death from
beriberi and suicide marked the long
journey of steampships which came to
their piers here yesterday. The ships
were the Foxley from China and the
Den of Mains from Java. Hardly had
the FoXley left Algeirs on her way
home when beriberi appeared among
the coolies in the crew. AS the vessel
passed Gibraltar half the crew were in
their hunks unable to move a limb. On
November one of the men died. The
next day another was dead and the
day following a coolie, crazed with
delirium, committed suicide by throw
ing himself into the sea.
1t was while the Den of Mains was
off Mecca in the Red sea that her
troubles began. Manobin Sahid, with
hands uplifted and a look of religious
fervour on his face, suddenly cast him
self into tie sea, uttering a prayer to
Mohammed. In a twinkling the other
thirty-four Lascars in the crew pre-
pared to follow him. Capt Sawyer and

} EST ENJlAY'S STOCK MARKET
Sustained Volume Of Trading Conn
pared With Last Week.

New York, June 5.-The added
breadth to the stock market caused by
Yesterdays accession Of speculative ac-
tivity was still in evidence To-day in
the sustained volume Of the trading
compared with last weeks small daily
average. The results of the larger OPP
erations were, however, somewhat mix
ed. 1t was easy to see that some of
the principal stocks In yesterdays
market We're being fed out to take
profits on the higher level. The effect
was seen in the holding back Of the
prices of these stocks while other stocks
We're advancing. AS the conviction re-
n aimed general that the market was in
the hands Of the professional operators
still, the success of the profit taking
seemed dependent upon the transfer of
holdings to professional hands, with the
sole purpose continued Of disposing of
them at a profit to a new set of buy
ers, So long as confidence in the
minds Of spectators Is maintained this
process is capable of being carried on
for prolonged period without extend
ing beyond the ranks Of professional
operators. 1t is q recognized fact that
such professional movements are the
invaluable preliminary Of an extended
rise In the market, the public refrain
ing without exception from entering
the market in the earlier stages of the
advance, It is the hope of an ultimate
outcome of this sort, with public de-
mand to carry stocks out of the market
which encourages persistence In cam
paign in the full recognition Of it's
wholly professional limitations. The
confidence Of the present professional
movers in the market is avowedly bas-
ed on the prospect that money is in
course of accumulation in bank re-
serves, where It's enforced idleness is
likely to force it into stocks for employ
ment. In addition the news from tho
crops is regarded as satisfactory. Fur
Their large transfers of currency
through the sub-treasury to New York
also continued in force and this is the
principal factor relied upon for the cas-
ing of the local money market. The
fact that the series of holidays in Cali
fornia expired on Monday and left
commercial affairs free to resume their
normal course added to the satisfaction
caused by the further REIMBURSEMENT
of accumulated funds from the Pacific
coast. Bearing in hand these general
considerations for the present specula-
tive ATTEMPT in the stock market, the
movement of individual stocks offers
little of special interets. These moveA
ments to-day were irregular throughout
by reason of a series of sustaining ad-
vaEces accompanied by simultaneous
realizing at different points. The sus-
tanning measure lost their efficiency as
the day advanced and q general reac-
ton set in making the closing easy.
Bonds were steady. Total sales par
value, sS575,0OO.
United States bonds were unchanged

Yesterdays stock market broadened
out in the dealings and the bulls were
in power. Toward the close some OIL
the happy ones could not resist the
temptation to bag profits, but the SELL
ing was well taken.
The setback was slight and a resump-
ton Of the upward movement to-day
was generally expected.
The situation is controlled by the
speculative element, with the large
banking interests not opposed to a
moderate movement, inasmuch as
money rates are now normal and there
is promise of a still better condition
later in the month. Currency is flow

In view of the liquidation by London
