BUYING OF
SAINT PAUL
WALL STREET JOURNAL COM
MENTs UPON PROBABILITY OF
LINE FALLING TO HARTMAN.
Declares That If Union Pacific Is Seek
ing Control Of Syetem Chances Are
Against Such a Thing Being Done
in the Open Market-Allianee of
Several interests.

Whether the Union Pacific ever OBJ
tains control of st. Paul or not the
chances are decidedly against such a
thing being done in the open market,
says the Wall Street Journal. The
boards of directors of these two roads
are so made up that it would take a
complete realignment of the forces
commonly understood to be arrayed
behind Mr.. Hartman to bring about
any such open contest.
A Standard Oil Road.
The simple fact is that the men who
have made Harriman's career possible
are very largely the same men who
form the controlling party in st. Paul.
If Mr.. Hartman had in mind any OBJ
prevented him from obtaining, and If
ne should undertake to remove the
obstacle by aggressive buying of St.
Paul on his own account, he would be
certain to ALLEVIATE his strongest fol
overs in the Union Pacific itself. The
st. Paul has been known for years as
so now than at any previous time. Out
of the thirteen members of the board
there are not over nine who are of
| great importance from the capitalistic
standpoint, hat is, Importance when
1t comes to controlling annual cleo
lions. OF these at least three are
Standard Oil men, and among these
three are two Of the most. powerful
men of railroad affairs in the country,
William Rockefeller and H. H. Rogers.
Some Close Alliances.
With the Union Pacific it would not
be impossible to show that the Stand
ard Oil party is yer stronger than
with the st. Paul. OF the fifteen direc-
| tors, only seven can be called men of
! the first rank in the matter of ueter-
mining control. OF these three are
unquestionably Standard Oil men and
a fourth has been more or less asso-
ciated in recent years with the same
party. In addition to these the presi-
dent of the ST. Paul is a director of
the Union Pacific.
Not Buying for Control.
Any explanation of the strength of
st. Paul, therefore, which is found
upon the theory of Hartman buying
for control, is too improbable to be TAX.
en- seriously without some tangible evi
dence to support it. The theory OF
forthcoming stock rights obtains much
better hearing in conservative quar-
tiers. # insiders really have a part in
the present movement 1t is because
they are preparing the market for ar
offer of new stock. st. Paul acted
much the same way before the last
offer.

ROCK BEARS
FLOOD STORY
PICTURE WRITING BY INDIANS
WITH HISTORY OF DELUGE
IN UNDYING coLoRS.
Tradition of Story Handed Down for
More Great Suns Than the leaves
of the Forest Oak and Reverence
Engendered for White Dove,
Which Was Sent BY Canoe Man.

Up in Wyoming sheltered by a large,
projecting cliff on the west side of the
Wind river canon, is a speaking rock
bearing in a sign language a tale of the
flood and the ark, says the Denver
Field and Farm in its Frontier
Sketches" The characters craven on
the rock have been there more than
a hundred years-how much longer is
not known. 1t is a fact, however, that
without books the Indians have pre-
served their history in this manner for
centuries. This story of the deluge
sets forth that in the days more great
suns ago than the leaves of the forest
oak, the Great Spirit became angered
at the people of the earth; that He
spoke in a terrible voice; awful fires
flashed across the skies, and torrents
ragged. The land became desolated.
For over a moon the flood swept and
everything was destroyed. At last
bearing a single man and much game
appeared.
White Dove a Sacred Bird.
This canoe drifted for a long time.
At length, one day the man who vas
robed in the skins of the white deer
sent forth a dove, which returned
after three sleeps with a sprig of the
red willow. The dove was a white one
and to this day the white dove is sa-
cred to the Indian, who, although starry
ing, will not STAY the bird of peace.
A sprig of the red willow is also used
as an offering of peace, as is a white
feather of any kind. In all probability
the common saying, showing the white
feather, which is often used in speak
ing of an act of cowardice or sur
render, originated with the Indians.
In Dale Creek canon, some forty miles
west of Cheyenne, may be found the
story of the great Medicine Bow battle
between opposing factions of the In
dians, told in sign language only.

IMPORTANT LAWS EXPECTED.

Albany. n. Y, Feb. 22.-The Of
fetal report of the legislative insur-
ance investigating committee was
presented to the New York legisla-
ture today and embodies drastic
remedial legislation which will serve
to correct abuse in the conduct OF
life insurance companies. The re-
port was signed by the full investi-
eating committee before it's presen-
tation.
The report contains a digest of the
findings OF conditions, and opera
tions of the three big life insurance
companies, the Equitable. New York
Life and Mutual Reserve, and les
ser companies.
From these findings is established
the foundation of proposed legisla-
ton. which is designed to remedy
existing evils, and more surely estab-
liah the business of life insurance.
Remedial legislation is grouped
under fifteen heads, and covers the
situation fully.

jority, the house abolished the trus-
tee system for county schools, and

ucation.

ed are:

vorably the Johnson bill, proposing

ty to dismiss revenue agents at will,

clared any nation not prepared to de-
fend It's position in China. might as
well haul down its flag and quit the
Pacific, incidentally. Hull pronounc-
ed Minister Rockhill at Pekin, as
guilty of an indiscretion in jnd.cat-
ing TO Chinese officials that the Unit
ed States intended returning the
1000 600 pounds sterling boxer in
demnity paid. Statements OF this
kind. he said will be taken by the
Chinese as an indication the United
States was afraid rather than liberal
Hull secuted the idea Japan was in
terested in stirring up trouble in
China TO injure the United States.
Japan's interests in China, he said.
were identical with those of the
United States and the preservation
OF peace there was the only manner

Mr.. j. l.. Friedman to Be Presi-
dent of Commercial Club.
A Committee That Called On Him
Today Was So Informed of His
Decision.
CTTY'S GREATEST BENEFACTOR.

Mr.. Joseph l.. Friedman has ac-
cepted the presidency of the Padu-
cab Commercial club, and authoriz-
ed the announcement today. 1t was
stated in one of the papers that he
might refuse ii on account of press
ing business interests, but he assur-
ed a committee from the directors
last night that he would accept
the place.
In putting Mr.. Friedman at the
head of its organization, the Com
mercial club has selected and hon
ored the most progressive man in
Paducah.
Identified with every progressive
movement in the city, the owner of
very large property interests, at the
head of the traction and lighting
companies and connected with most
of the commercial organizations and
corporations in Paducah, he is vital
ly interested in her welfare and ad-
vancement, and ever jealous in all
things that make for their better
ment. He had done more for Pa
ducah than any man in the city and
his time. energies and money are
always at her command. The Com
mercial club but honors itself in hon.
oring him.
That the club. under his regime
will do good work needs the assur-
ance of no one, as Paducah and Pa
ducahans know what 40" Fried
man will do for the city and all of
its interests.
He is man of untiring energy, of
unquestioned integrity, of indomita-
BILE courage and of unusual tact and
intelligence, and he will always be
found hustling for Paducah in every
thing that tends towards the city's
Advancement, expansion and COM
mercial improvement. Mr.. Fried
man is universally popular, is ad-
mired and respected, and his admin
istration as president of the CONNER
cial club could not start under more
auspicious conditions.
