WASHINGTON, Feb. q. Senator
Clay today introduced an amendment
to the rate bill making it unlawful for
any common carrier to own, buy or
sell directly or indirectly any coal,
coke, oil or oil products, except such
as are necessary for its own use. The
officers and representatives of carriers
are also prohibited from owning, cor.
trolling or having any interest In
coal, coal lands, oil or oil property.
The interstate commerce commission
today decided the rates unjust in the
case OF the Ohio oil companies against
the railroads. The rate was pro.
nouuced unreasonable and practically
q monopoly in favor of the Standard
Oil company, but the commission was
forced to dismiss the suits because It
is without authority to apply relief.

CHICAGO, Feb. p. Evidence was
introduced by the government today
teding to show that the matter OF
testifylng under oath or not during
the Investigation conducted by Com.

packers themselves. 1t was claimed
by District Attorney Morrison that
this proved that the packers were not
under %compulsion when they gave their
information to the agents of the gov.
eminent.
The evidence relative to the packers
declining to give evidence under oath
was submitted in the shape of Q tele.
gram from Special Agent Durand to

was stated that A. II. Veeder, counsel
for Swift x Co. and himself now un.

firm Of Swift X Co. not to give evi.
dence under oath, as it might later be
used against them. The examination

cluded In the afternoon, aud Special
Agent Duraud followed him on the

Supreme Court Declines to Change Deci-
sion In Bond Case.

HELENA, Feb. IT. The supreme
court today denied a rehearing in the
bond case. This is the last fight which
the plaintiffs in the famous case can
make in the court. The removal of
all of the legal obstacles may neces-
state the calling Of a special session
of the Legislature to make some pro.
vision for the warrants which are out.
standing against some of the state in.
stitutions. The attorney general was
sustained by the supreme court in his
contention that the bonds for the
schools which were issued we're illegal
because of a failure to provide for the
constitutional provision.
1t is not known what step will next
be taken by the bondholders. II the
bondholders still insist upon q de-
termination of their legal rights, there
appears to be but one legal course left
them, according to the general opin.
ion entertained by the local bar, and
that is to take the matter to the su.
preme court of the United States.
Their ability to appeal, however.
hinges upon the question of whether
the action is appealable, the decision
of the supreme court having been In
the nature Of q construction of the
enabling act, which is in reality a
contract between the federal govern.
ment and the state of Montana.
Rather than appeal, however, it is
possible that the bondholders will
prefer to rest the case upon the action
of Governor Toole, who, in an inter.
view recently, stated that it wass his
purpose to consult with the bond.
holders and ascertain their wishes in
the matter. If the supreme court did
not grant a rehearing or the supreme
court of the United States was APP
pealed to in the matter, he regarded
it ~ imperative that an extra session
of the legislature should be summoned
to make amends to the innocent pur-
chasers of the bonds, upon the theory
that there was not the slightest inten.
ton or desire IN the part of the state
to repudiate the bonds.

the union of the two territories as one
state would have the effect of minimiz.
ing the evil.
In reply to Mr.. Dubois as to how
the union would improve the situa.
ton, Mr.. Nelson said that, while no
protests against consolid alton had
come from the corporations of New
Mexico, most of the opposition in Ari.
IONA came from the railroads and
copper mines. He added that these
interests pay less taxes in proportion
to the value of property than do other
interests.
Mr.. Carter made the point that I'm.

easier to accomplish that result in a
territory than in a state. Mr.. Nelson
replied to this point with a general
exposition of conditions in both Ari.

land is held in Europe in contrast to
the idea regarding it which prevails
in the United States where el.25 an
acre has for SO many years been the
stand ard price for government land.
A civil engineer in England, dis
cussing the coming conference on the
defense OF the land against sea en-.
croachments, is urging the possibili-
ties of land reclamation on a large
scale. He cites the fact that in the Fen
districts around the Wash some 49,.
600 acres of land have been snatched
from the oceans greedy nav.
1.-THE reclamation of land has long
been q pet theme among British en-
gineers,' he said. "At various times
it has been proposed that some 250
square miles should be won from the
oceans bed. Even as long ago as
1850 an engineer proposed a scheme
to filch nearly 0 1000 acres from the
sea. In an official report he showed
how 10000 acres could be gained in
80 years at a total expense of Sl0, 00O,-
600. Subsequently the Norfolk estate
actually set to work and ex-
pended nearly $1,000 600. Their ef-
forts have resulted in the acquisition
of about 1000 acres. Thus it will be
seen these schemes are notimere idle
dreams. They return excellent inter.
est OF investments and go a long way
toward solving the vexed problems of
the unemployed"
