Surely the most wonderful sight II
is possible TO witness Is the under.
ground world, hewn out OF solid rock
salt, which the out-of-ths-way trav-
eier will be amazed to come across In
the obscure little Polish-Austrian
town Of Wieliczka, Ave miles or so
from Cracow, and the principal Gen.
ter Of the salt industry of Galacia.
The mines are directly controlled by
the Austro-Hungarian minister of
finance, through whom one must OBJ
tain permission to enter the salt cities
for. for some unexplained reason. the
salt is looked upon as so much gold,
even though this whole subterranean
world is made of II. The record of
these salt mines goes back as far as
the eleventh century, and they are
miles upon miles In length and contain
hundreds OF miles Of streets.
The entrance is hardly fairylike or
wonderful, consisting Of q long. low
building above ground, containing the
offices Of the administration.
One goes down nowadays by an ordl.
nary lift. the old horsepower concern
being thing of the past. The present
writer, however, since time was no OBJ
iect, preferred to 90 down still more
gradually by means Of the great zig
gag staircase hewn In the salt The
first sensation on reaching one or the
other OF the vast chambers Is one al
most of terror at the vastness Of the
saloons, the thick darkness, and the
sombre echoes.
One Of the first sights shown in the
great city is the enormous expanse Of
the Letow ballroom, which is lit up fol

This enormous ballroom dates bach
to the early part of the eighteenth
century, and is named after Herr Lee
towski. the then director Of the Ga
lacian salt mines.
I asked, as We left the ballroom, how
far we were from the surface OF the
earth.
About 220 feet" my guide replied
"And this tier is the first Of the sew
en- cities Of our underground world Of
salt"
But only three OF these levels are
opened to visitors.
The salt Of this subterranean worlt
Is curiously durable, as may be seer
from the fact that the great chande
Tiers, though composed Of mere strings
of salt crystals, have yet endured To-
centuries without melting or wearing
out In any way.

the eighteenth century, as a result of
40 or so years Of labor. This vast
apartment is about 100 feet broad and
120 feet high.
Having seen this chamber we enter
some smaller saloons, each named
after some distinguished parsonage.
The third tier, or city" of this
strange place contains the railway
station and an admirable restaurant.
"At this railway station" my guide
told me, some five-and-twenty miles

SPEAKER CANNON IS
FOR TARIFF DELAY

Speaker Cannon
has made a further explanation Of a
letter recently written by him TO a
friend in East Liverpool, o., regard
ing the tariff. The letter was pub
llshed and seemed to indicate that
tariff revision would probably come
in the future.
The statement Of the speaker fol
lows: EE
Il was not aware that I was writ
ing a letter for publication, although
I have no objection 10 ifs publication
There are many people in the coun-
try who believe that a single SEIZED.
ule, or a few schedules Of the tariff
may be amended. This is entirely
impractical. for while an amendment
10 a single schedule might please a
single interest. it could not command
enough votes to enact IL.
en- my judgement, nothing can De
done except by a complete revision
Of the tariff, which would be a com
promise that would command a ma
jorlty vote OF those 3SG members OF
the house and the ninety senators.

OF IMMUNITY
MADE FOR FIRST TIME IN FED.
ERAL COURT HERE.
IN THE REBATE INDICTMENT
Practically the Same Questions De
cided by Judge Humphrey, Of Chi
cage, and the Supreme Court.

KANSAS CITY-For the first
time in Kansas City. the immunity
plea" will be made in the federal
court Monday, when the rebate cases
will be argued before Judge Philips.
Judge E. L. Scarritt. representing the
Chicago G. Alton railroad and other
parties 10 the proceedings, has filed
in the federal court the same sort Of
plea which was the basis Of the decis-
ion by Judge Humphrey in Chicago
in the beef trust cases. wherein it
was decided that the members Of the
corporations who had furnished infor-
nation on which the indictments were
returned were immune, but that the
corporations themselves were not.
THE same material points were
covered by Judge Humphreys decis-
ion and by the earlier decision OF the
United States supreme court in the
so-called tobacco trust case said
Judge Scarritt in discussing the plea.
The supreme court decided that the
plea OF immunity was not one that a
corporation could make, but was a
personal or individual matter. Judge
Humphrey in the beef trust cases
made practically the same application
Of the law, holding that the individual
members OF the corporation could not
be punished as the result of informa-
tion they had given as individuals.
Many are Under Indictment.
The federal grand jury last Deem
Der returned indictments against the
five local packing houses. three rail
roads and a number of individuals
who were connected or associated
with the corporations in the capacity
Of freight traffic managers, traffic
brokers, etc. The corporation indict-
ments charge the companies with VIC
lating the Elkins a~nti-rebate law,
while the individuals are charged with
conspiTing to secure rebates in VIC
lation Of that law.
