A Queer Find

On Monday MT R. L. Doughe v donated to The Times Musee a Ieaden ball. weighing B pounds, the inside of which is filled with a red clay and small particles of lead. It resem 9ies an anarchists bomb; and if it i so, anarchy must have existed in the pre- historic age, as the ball was found IS feet below the surface of the earth, ia a gravel bed near Fordgce, Ark by workmen who were excavdting and loading ballast for railroad Use. | Is certainly a mysterious curiosity.
 Since writing the above, OUT Eszto- rian claims it to b. a cannon bah u=ed in the 18th century. The cannon- in those days were made of wooden S 5ps strapped with copper bands. T. afe- vent wear of the guns, balls were nt de of soft lead. In manufacturing ..e balls, hammered lead was used N .ch was wrapped around bal of ela3 and small missiles. The clay became Iy brittle, and when striking an c Ii with force would burst and se IT the thin coating of lead and cont aHtz similar to the manner of bomb. As to how the ball came to the Fui5 ee neighborhood, il is probable that me of the aborigines captured 1t from n. Soto's army and carried it with IHem further west.

A. F. Knots Out at Gary.

There is surprise in business and
political circles in Lake county over
the announcement hat A. F. Knots,
former mayor of Hammond and pres
ident of the Gary Land company, has
forwarded his resignation to the
United States Steel corporation. The
report is also circulated that Mr.
Knots has been ''let out" by the di-
rectors of the steel corporation, but
it is impossible to affirm this report.
Mr. Knots admits that he has for
warded his resignation to the cor
poration, but his friends deny that he
has been dismissed. There have been
persistent reports of much friction
between Mr. Knots and the officers
of the steel corporation since Mr..
Knots met with so much opposition
at indianapolis in getting the riparian
bill through the legislature. 1t is
known that the western directors OF
the steel corporation met last week
with Vice President Z. Fl. Gary IN
Chicago and soon after came the
news OF Mr.. Knots resignation.
His relations with the steel corpor-
alton have been spectacular. He in
duced the steel corporation to locate
their s25,OOO,OOO plant at Gary, and
he was commissioned by the direct
ors to buy 5000 acres of land in the
sand dunes, 10 miles east of Ham
mond. He bough this at prices rang
ing from $40 to 500 an acre. 1t is
now held at $4,000 to $4,000 an acre
Mr.. Knots was nearly year in clos
ing the deals, and he is said to have
cleared $4,000 as commissions out
of the numerous transactions. Mr.
Knots has retained his residence IN
Hammond, and he will resume his
law practice there, which is very

RAILROADS TO EvADE &C LAW
Saw State Laws Affect Interstate
Traffic

Itis learned that the big railroads
of the country have decided to join
in devising ways and means of getting
around the 2-cent-fare laws enacted
by various States in the East and
middle West, particularly in regard
to reducing their interstate rates to
ing railway lawyers was held in Chi
cago Thursday when the subject Of
keeping up through rates was dis
cussed. From one of the conferences
it was learned that a similar confer
ence was held in Washington early
in February. The decision OF the
railroads to act together in evadin
the law explains in part why more
opposition has not been directed a;
the cheap fare legislation during its
tendency.
The railroads are falling back on
the ruling of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, that whenever d
through rate exceeds the sum of the
local rates made between intermedi-
ate POINTS the commission would re-
gard it as prima facie evidence that
the through rate is excessive and UNI
reasonable and that the railroad
| would be required to furnish proof %
the contrary in order to maintain such
a through rate This ruling it is point
ed out makes State laws have an eff
feet on interstate traffic.
The roads traversing Indiana and
| Michigan are preparing to make eff
fective without delay the s-ccnt rate
on interstate traffic, but will not re-
duce their rates on interstate traffic
to a 2-cent basis until some ruling is
made that they should do so. Inas-
much as the Hepburn rate law prohib-
its, any reduction in interdate rate:
except after thirty days notice to the
commission, the roads will hide be-
hind this in defending themselves fol
Irpholding rates higher than those de
termined by a 2-cent basis.
The Minnesota 2-cent bill was ign
ed Thursday by Governor johnson
and il will go into effect May1. The
Indiana law will go into effect som,
time next week with the proclamatio.

Japs Plan Biggest Warship.

1t is reported that the largest bat
tie ship in the world, to have dis
placement of $1,000 tons, is to be
built in England for the Japanese
Government and that commission
already is on its way to London from
Japan for the purpose of placing the
contract with one or another of the
British shipbuilders.
1t has been believed that Japan
would in the future build all her own
warships, but it is now thought that a
vessel Of this size would be too great
an undertaking for her, and it is
known that the Japanese admiralty
has full program for its home yards
The cost OF this new battle ship will
be about s11,25O,000

1t is claimed that Washington is

If they were SO disposed the ladies
might wear their best afternoon

of Washington is due to the notice
able absence of factories with thex

streets are kept so clean that there
IS little dust or dirt in the air. An
almost forgotten fact is that Wash
