ed in that trade to protect it? This
is not watering stock of capitalizing
the future; it is leaving an existing
and growing branch of our national
business to take care of our itself, If
it can. Private corporate managers
who left their second best customers
to depend for a continuity of business
conditions upon the good will of other
private corporate managers would be
thought to have lost their sense-to
have lost their senses, at any rate, to
the extent of losing their jobs. Yet
the managers of this corporation of
the United States stake the risk of
unsettled conditions in our trade with
Germany upon the chance that the
governmental agencies of Germany
will again graciously consent to hold
up German law for the sake Of main
tanning stable conditions in that trade.
We are hearing a great deal in these
days about the qualities of corpora
ton management and mismanage-
ment; but for unqualified negligence
to take care of great branch of ma
tional business already built up, the
managers of the corporation of the
United States, in their course in re-
gard to the foreign corporation of
Germany, are more than match for
anything going.

ITALY STUDIES EMIGRATION.
To Divert Her Emigrants to Italian
Colonies instead Of Sending them
fO America


The question of emigration has been
OCCUPYING public attention in Italy for
some time past, and the possibility of
diverting Italian emigrants to the
Italian colonies, the best means or
cherishing the Italian language in the
families of those who have married
and settled in America, and the IL
most complete depopulation of many
parts Of southern Italy, are being con-
stantly discussed.
Signor Nitti. a southern deputy, who
is an authority on economic and Soc
ial subjects, recently deliveded val
liable lecture on the whole subject
at Naples. He pointed out that if the
British Isles were swallowed up by
some great catclysm tomorrow, the
British name would still be kept alive
by Greater Britain; he pointed out,
too, that France has no need of a
colonial empire, for she has scare
ity of younger sons, the pioneers of
colonization in all ages. Italy, on the
other hand, occupies position in this
respect between France and Great
Britain; she has large surplus pop
ulation which cannot find work in the
Basilicata and in Calabria; but she
has only two and those not very pop
ular colonies of her own-Erythraea
and Benadir. Accordingly the Italian
when he emigrates goes either to an
other European country or to Tunisla
or across the Atlantic.
Signor Nitt calculates that the first
class consists of nearly 100000 per-
sons annually, and the last class of
nearly half million, almost entirely
from the south. Every year." as he
systematically puts it, ian Italian
province is transferred to America
The worst feature of this emigration
is that the best elements in the pop
ulation go and only the woman, the
aged, and the children remain. Signor
Nitti urges the Italian government to
so as to raise the standard of the en-
igrants and points to the necessity of
developing hitherto neglected home
industries. Italy" he concluded,
Should export more merchandise and
fewer men,"
The problem is really identical with
the southern question which Signor
Giolitti has made vigorous attempt
to solve by the law of last year, which
he took over with many other legisla-
tive fixtures from the previous tenant
of the treasury bench, Baron Sidney
Sonnino. But the south cannot be
made to blossom like the rose in a few
months, or even years. Still, public
opinion is thoroughly alive to the
fact that there are two Italies-the
prosperous North, which visitors saw
at the Milan exposition, and the pow
erty-stricken south, which lies in the
rarely-visited recesses of Calabria and
on the upland of the deserted BasiIi-
cata.

CHICAGOAN LEAVES FOR KONa0.
Sydney H. Bali win Develop Mining
Grants Of American Syndicate.


Grants Of American Syndicate.
Sydney H. Ball, % years of age,
son OF Judge Farlin Q. Ball of the
COOK county circuit court and the
youngest member of the United States
geological survey, left his home today
to go In charge of the first American
expedition into the heart of the Kon-
go Free State to investigate the min
eral resources of the country for New
YORK capitalists, who recently were
granted an extensive mineral conces-
sion there by King Leopold of Bel
gium. Mr.. Ball is an Oak Park man.
He was selected for the important
post because OF his experiences in To-
eating copper and iron deposits, in
which the country to be explored is
believed to abound.
A corporation has been formed in
New York Of the American capitalists
to whom King Leopold granted the
concession, which consists of extern
sive lands around the headwaters of
the Kongo river. These are known
to contain copper and iron, and are
thought to possess gold, silver and
diamonds. The Americans have been
given all they may find, on the prom
Use to develop the properties.
Mr.. Ball and his staff will first
visit Belgium to make all necessary
arrangements for their years work.
They then will ship to the Cape of
Good Hope. They will stop to ex-
anime the diamond mines to familiar
ize themselves with the geological
formation. Then they will take the
railway from the cape to it's northern
most end. From that point they will
proceed for 300 miles by OK train.
Before leaving the edge of civilization
they will employ a body guard of
twenty white men. At the end of
the OK road they will be Joined by
$50 native carriers, with whose aid
they will travel on foot northwest $50
miles. They finally will reach the
navigable waters of the Kongo river
and will proceed the remainder of
the way mostly by canoe.

DEATH STOPS TRIAL
Continued from page ~

mothers story. there is little doubt
what she said will carry wonderful
weight with it. But Mr.. Jerome gave
the impression that he might use the
mothers testimony as weapon in
another direction-in his fight to have
commission appointed to test the
present state of mind of the defendant.
While the elder Mrs. Thaw was on
the stand. the district attorney en-
gagged in wordy war with Mr.. Del
mas, during which he uttered publicly
for the first time the threat Of a lunacy
commission. Mr. Delmas was invoking
the presumption of law that Thaw, de-
clared insane in 1908, remained insane
in 1904. This was to enable Mrs.
Thaw to state conversations with her
son during the latter year. These
conversations were admissible only on
the ground that they were the utter
ances of person mentally irrespon-
sible. Mr.. Jerome said there was no
reason why the assumption should not
continue down to the present, and IL
Mr.. Delmas' point was we'll taken, the
trial should be suspended and COM
mission appointed.
Mr.. Jerome added that he was mere
ly suggesting the alternative of COM
mission for the sake of argument.
Justice Fitzgerald upheld Mr.. Delmas'
position and said the question of a
commission was not before the court.
With the completion of Mrs. William
Thaw's testimony, Thaw's attorneys
announced that they will call but two
more sses-experts-who will be
asked newly framed hypothetical
question covering the entire case.
These experts are said to be Doctors
Graeme NJ. Hammond and Smith F..
Jelliffe.
Harry Thaw. during his mothers
!. stay on the stand, seemed unusually
pale and extremely nervous. For a
time he would fix her with stare,
then look away and bite his finger
nails. His two brothers, Edward and
Josiah Thaw, sat near him, but the
Countess of Yarmouth nor Mrs. George
Lauder Carnegie, his sisters, were not
in court.
At the end of Mrs. Thaw's exarina-
ton, court adjourned until Friday
morning, a death in Justice Fitz-
gerald's family causing an abandon

but the principal trades of Chicago are
pork packing and sandbagging. Why
do Chicagoans brag Of the size of their
city? Well, Chicago is bucking New
York for size, SO they incorporated half
of Illinois and part of Indiana within
the city limits to push up the plurality
of their population. Now they have
the second largest city in the United

to do the trick. 1t has been said that

The men marked for death by the
Russian terrorists will learn not to
make jests about the matter. The
point is illustrated by the case of Gen
eral Koslevsky, commandant of a
town in Siberia. He was walking with
some friends last Wednesday after
noon, and mentioned a threatening
letter received by him that morning
in which he was told that he would be
killed at o'clock. Pulling out his
watch he pointed to the hour, and
laughingly said to his companions:
"You see, I am still alive" He was
shot dead with three revolver shots,
when nearing home, within a nhour.

The surprising manner in which
persons who work for large corpor-
atoms are buying the stock of these
companies is shown by the annual
report of the National Biscuit COM
pany. This company had about 1900
stockholders in 1898. The number is
now increased to 1000. OF these, @
341 work for the company, their total
holdings being 1862 shares of stock.
"The company" in this case, and
much more strikingly in the case of
the United States Steel corporation, is
thus in part the men who work for
the company. There are no disad-
vantages in this combination of labor
and brains, assuming that the men in
"the Office" have brains and are hon
est; while the advantages are toler-
ably obvious, especially the sense of
equality that is thereby cultivated.

Is Suspected.

Owenton, KY, Nov. 1.-THE tobac-
co barn belonging to T. T. Vallan-
bingham, near this town, was burn
ed TO the ground last night at about
II o'clock. Owing TO the lateness of
the hour no alarm was turned Inland
the barn and lis contents were soon
consumed.
A large quantity of tobacco belong
ing 10 several different persons was
burned, including about fifteen hogs
heads of old tobacco, the remainder
being of he 1907 crop.
The amount of insurance could not
be asceri ained, but it is said that on
ly the old tobacco was covered, in
which case the loss will reach con-
siderable amount. The barn was n
new one, and not insured.
The origin of the fire has not yet
been discovered, and is something of
mystery, as there seems to have been
no way in which it could have begun
inside the barn. The probability is
strongly in favor OF the theory that
it was the work of incendiaries.

Former Leader of Insurgents
Greatly Pleased With
Secretary'S Visit.

Manila, Nov. 10.-A feature of the
visit of Secretary of War Taft 10
Manila was the presence of Aguinal-
do at several of the functions, for the
first time since his capture. Discussing
the probable results of the visit of
Mr.. Taft to Manila with a representa-
tive of the Associated Press, he said:
1T is my belief that the benefits to
follow the visit to the Philippine peo-
pie will be greater than they can rec
ognze at the present time. | am at
present unable TO form an opinion Off
hand of the possible future advanta-
ges, but am confident that 1t has done
good. The Inauguration of the Assem-
bly, has gone a long way 70 cement
the friendship of my people with the
people of the United States. AS full
fillment of a solemn promise, which
many expected would not be fulfilled,
the Secretary of War did not bring in
dependence for my people in his pock-
ct, but he brought the means of al
tanning it. He told us how we can
get it. Tire Filipinos are thankful for
the information and pleased at what
the Assembly has done, especially in
the interests of legislation, education
and agriculture"
President of the Assembly Osmena
considers that the most important re-
suit of the visit has been the harmon
izing of the feeling between the Amer
leans and the Filipinos,and looks upon
the Assembly as having been the
greatest thing done yet. He is con-
fident that much more has been ac-
complished than appears on the sur
face.

Uses of the United States are 10 be
