PEARL REUN|TES HIM
With $1,000 Gem Poor Riv-
erman Buys Household,
and Sends for Family.

Dubuque, Iowa, Oct. 9O-A pearl
taken from a clam in the Mississippi
river is responsible for the reunion
of Hannah Smice and his family in
Chicago, from whom he had long been
separated because Of misfortune and
poverty.
The husband was fairly delirious
with JOY when his wife and little ones
returned to him today. Rivermen, al
most as poor as Smice himself, who
had known of his sorrow over his sep
aration from his family. shed tears
when they saw Smice. his wife, and
children reunited.
When Smice found the pearl which
brought him happiness. he had little
realization of its value. Friends ad-
vised him to take it TO q jeweler in
Rock Island and inquire its value.
Smice could hardly wait to get the
money when the jeweler offered him
81 goo for the pearl.
With part of the money Smice pur
chased a houseboat. Then he wired
money TO his wife to come and join
him. When she arrived today he made
her a present of the houseboat and
gave her a check book on a local bank
for the remainder of the $1,000.

HARVARD PROFESSOR
ACCUSES PRESIDENT
Beef Decision in Chicago is
Theme of Sensational
Address.
THIRD TERM IDEA IS ATTACKED
Stimson Declares That Executive is
Converting Country Into AFFECT
Slavery-Power Too Great.

Boston, Mass. Oct 30-Professor
Frederic j. Stimson of Harvard, lee
turing on The Liberties of the Peo-
pie at the university last night, de-
clared that:
1T is credibly rumored in the high
places of my profession that a certain
Judge had rebuked President Roose-
welt when the latter or his agent had
approached him 10 ask what the court
would do if the famous beef trust
case was appealed.
Recalls Presidential Remarks
You may remember" said Profess
sor Stimson, the very severe criticism
imposed by the president upon one
Judge for his decision sustaining the
peoples liberties. The judges decision.
given in the Chicago beef trust prose
cution, was referred to with angy dis
approval by the president in an Off
cial document.
And l may tell you that it is cred
IDLY rumored in the high places of my
profession that a certain other judge
"a higher tudge-was approached by
the president or his agent and asked
whether he would affirm this decision
If 1t were appealed and came before
that that judge-who has recently
been in Boston-made the same answer
that the great Coke made to King
James: Sir. when that case comes be
fore me for judgment l will consider it
as becometh a just judge
Nine Hour Law.
The president seems to think that
If he makes up his mind that a nine
hour law in factories is right, that
very fact should authorize the federal
government to impose it on all the
states I do not believe we shall part
with the dearly won heritage of liberty
or any momentary impulse to right
present wrong"
Professor Stimson proceeded to urge
that President Roosevelts interpreta-
tion of the phrase commerce among
the several states" would alter our
constitution more radically than any
amendment could do. The states
would lose control of their business
affairs, and everything would be as
completely, but more hopelessly, under
the government at Washington, as the
English of the twelfth century were
under the power of the royal chief
justice, the royal chancellor, and the
legislation of the Norman kings.
Says Power Is Too Great.
Our president" said Professor Slim
son in closing, has far greater powers
than the English constitutional king
That was the reason that led the
founders to regard that part of our
constitution with so much apprehen-
sion, and that was the reason that led
George Washington to decline cleo
ton for a third term, an example
which has been followed by all our
presidents from his time until now"

appeared.

THE STEEL TRUST
Gobbles Tennessee Coal and Iron
Company Stock.

NEW YORK. Nov. 4.-..The
crisis has passed. It has been sin
cerely met, and all danger Of further
serious trouble has gone by. Things
are in bully shape
This was the statement made
this afternoon by fnancier who is
qualified to speak with the greatest
authority. The day passed with
out any further disturbing features
coming to light, but with several
developments of great Importance
growing out of the panic.
One of the chief of these, perhaps,
was the passing of the Tennessee
Coal and Iron Company over to the
control of ]. p. Morgan & Co., who
in turn will pass it over to the Unit
ed States Steel Corporation. This
company. which has been one of ITS
greatest rivals, will prove of i'm
mense value to the steel trust, as it
owns very valuable coal and iron
mines in Tennessee and Alabama.
1t has been controlled by what is
known as the Gates crowd, and the
termsof the transfer to Mr.. Morgan
we're agreed upon at the long con-
ference of the bankers which was
held at the financier's library, and
which did not break up until
5 o'clock this morning.
AT this conference the presence Of
Grant B. Schley Of the firm Of Moore
q Schley created some comment,
as he was the only broker who took
part ia the discussion. Moore q
Schley represent the Tennessee
coal pool, and it was Mr.. Schley
who signed the agreement for the
property. Mr.. Schley refused to
make any statement concerning the
matter to-day.
One OF the reasons for the change
in control of the company, it was
understood, was the fact that sew
eral trust companies had made
large loans to the Tennessee Coal
Company and were anxious to have
them written of. Appeal was
made to Mr.. Morgan, and be con-
sented to jump into the breach,
taking over control Of the company,
which he has long wanted to see as
a subsidiary concern of the steel
trust.
