Said to Have Been Employed by Ter

In a search for terrorists some 200
houses located in different parts Of
Warsaw were ransacked by troops.
About 1000 arrests were made and
most of the prisoners were Jews.
Many children were taken into
custody. They are employed by the
terrorists to execute attempts on gov
eminent officials because the move
ments of children do not awaken sus-
picion, and they are not liable to capt.
tai punishment. The o~"thN~'tieS have

ening attitude of labor, as implied In the address recently presented to President Roosevelt, may complicate t4e situation. It appears we are rap idly drifting into new political era, where many of the social and eco- homie theories of the day must meet in open conflict in the halls of con- gress or else be settled through the ballot box. This is long distance view, but it is one. nevertheless, which affects the movements of the largest holders of securities, and ac- counts in no small degree for their comparative apathy on the bull side when surface conditions in the ma Jority of cases are so entirely satis- factory. Already there are signs of sharp political agitation, which is likely to become more acute as the period of congressional nominations approaches prior to the fall elections.

Probably the most important and
 far reaching decision as far as the
 interstate commerce law is concern ed, was delivered Monday by the su- preme court when by an undivided
 bench it laid down the new princi-
 pie that railroads cannot deal in the
 commodities which they haul over
 their lines, says an exchange. Their
 decision falls principally on the rail- roads which directly or indirectly own coal mines and sell their pro- ducts, but if the courts sustain the claim of the interstate commerce commission that private car lines arc common carriers, the principle laid down to-day may also include them, so that the owners of refrigerator cars would be prohibited from using their own cars for the transportation Of their products. The decision as to coal alone, however, removes what is acknowledged to be one of the great est evils in the matter of railroad rates. It also enlarges considerably the over of the interstate commerce commission, taking it further in that particular direction than was contem- lated even by the pending Hepburn bill. The decision was entirely un- expected and the attorneys who ar- gued it were surprised at its broad ness. As pointed out by the court there was no prohibition in the in- terstate commerce law of every own ership in commodities, but notwith- standing its absence 1t was plain, ac- cording to the court, that to hold otherwise would be contrary to the very spirit of the act.

The greatest obstacle to stock market activity at the present tine

Experts employed by the United
 States government in testing the
 characteristics and fuel-value of all
 kinds of coal found in this country,
 report that they are making satisfac-
 tory progress and will soon be able to make public the result of their conclusions. The testing plant To- cated in St Louis and the experi- ments have been going on for the past year and a half..' More than a hundred and fifty different kinds of coal have been tested as to their power and fuel values. It is be- lieved that the result of these exper- iments will be the discovery of for mulas for making briquettes from bituminous refuse that will be cheap enough to be marketable, as this kind of fuel already is in Germany. It SO happens that at this iuncture comes a statement that the depart ment of agriculture in Ireland has finally perfected an easily handled and marketable form of peat fuel that is cheaper than coal and suited to industrial as we'll as domestic uses. This certainly is good news for all who are interested in the well fare of that country. The lack of good and cheap coal has been a great obstacle in the way of the industrial progress of the Irish people, and if peat fuel can be made commercial equivalent for coal the fact is full of encouragement for the future of Ire land. Meanwhile it is to be hoped that cheap fuel of some sort may be placed within reach of the American people. if only as a safeguard against the periodical ''famines" resulting from deadlocks between the coal op- orators and miners.

Verdict for DR.. PierC'

tanned alcohol and other har full ingredi-
ents. DR.. Pierce promptly brought suit
against the publishers of the Ladies'

DR.. Pierce alleged that MI. Box, the
editor, maliciously published the article
containing such false and defamatory
matter witE the intent of injuring his
business Furthermore. that no alcohol, or
other Injurious. or habit-formiEg, drugs
are. or over were, contained in his "Fa-

idiot who thinks he is dealing with

coin a. he receives it."
