igatiOn company as common carriers,
nor to the interstate transportation of
goods or persons by such companies.
1t is set forth in the fifth paragraph
Of the contentious why response should
not be given, hat the commissions
inquiry at which the questions were
asked was not based OF any complaint
of anything done or omitted to be lone
by the companies named above, in con-
travention of the interstate commerce
law.
Without Due Process of Law.
The sixth point raised by Judge Low
EFT is hat if the interstate commerce
act be construed as authorizing and
empowering the commission in the
conduct of an inquiry or investigation
without any complaint having been
made to ii, or any statement of charges
contained in any such complaint hav-
ing been presented to any such COM
mon carrier or the respondent CMr.
Harriman). to put the said questions
to this respondent; and require him to
answer the same, such is in violation of
of the provision of article 3 of the
amendments Of the constitution of the
United States, which provides that no
person shall be deprived of liberty or
property without process of Law.
h seventh n last declaration is
that the order made by the interstate
commerce commission on Nov. 10, 1906,
on the subject is so general, vague
and indefinite in its terms as to fail to
define any matter as being under in
vestigation, either with respect to the
Union Pacific Railway company or any
other person or corporation, and the
said questions were not pertinent or
relevant to any inquiry alleged or
claimed to have been authorized here
by.

IN THE WASTE-BASKET.
Observation-Disclosures

The recent death of Miss Julia Bry-
ant the daughter OF William Cullen
Bryant, has called forth a number Of
"reminiscences of the poet and his fam
lily. Although always kindly, Bryant
was not u man of winning personality
He was TOO dignified. But at home
he could unbend with his children and
their intimate friends he could occa-
sionally even romp. With strange chill
dren the poet, perhaps being little
shy Of them, became even more than
usually dignifled, with the result of re-
ducing them to solemn and hopeless
good behavior.
Il always, In my infantlle mind"
confessed a lady who knew him slight
ly in her childhood, connected him
vaguely with the Old Testament, and
revered him accordingly. Such beard
and such a brow were his as l knew
only in Biblical illustrations depicting
Methusaleh and jeremiah. 1t would
have shocked me, l am sure, to see
him laugh"
With another little girl, whom he
knew better, however, he often laughed,
and used to perch her on his desk to
listen to her amusing chatter. When
he had had enough OF it, and wished to
resume his writing, he would put her
In the big waste paper basket, carry it
outdoors, and merrily tip her out on the
grass.
His own girls were at that time
grown up, but it was method of clos
ing a conversation first practiced upon
them. Sometimes. too. he used the
same receptacle to hold a daughter too
small to be overconversational. but
large enough to mistakenly demand
amusement. Dumped in among the
scraps, she would be happy for a long
time, grooming to herself and tearing
bits Of paper into smaller bits.
Not until the grooming stopped did
her father need to give her any further
attention, but silence was signal not
to be disregarded. for it meant that she
was. by no means figuratively, exercis-
ing her literary taste upon his latest
discarded poem. Her opinion 1t was
never possible to extract; but the poem
1t was-more or less chewed-and it
was removed from her mouth as rap
idly as possible, and the little lady sup
piled with some other plaything less
tempting or more digestible.

fore he was p years old. For year
he clerked in the custom house at Derby
Line, VT, and then in a tobacco store
In 1851 he came west, settling in Stock
bridge. He practiced law there for two
years and then moved to Chiffon. In
1870 he abandoned the practice of law
to devote his time exclusive to the real
estate business and gradually he pur-
chased land until he became the largest
land owner i'll the state. He has lived

KILL OFF HEAD HUNTERS
Japanese Use Charged Electric Wires
with Terrible Effect on Canni-
balls of FOrmoSa.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. r.
The determination Of savage, murderous
head hunters by elcctrocution is the lat
est novelty introduced by Japanese in
FormOsa. Walter Clifton, manager of
a Formosa mercantile company, who ar
rived here yesterday says heroic meas
ures are being adopted by the japanese.
These head hunters said Clifton,
number about 100000 and infest the
entire east coast of the island. All eli
forts to civilize them have failed. They
recently inveigled q party of 300 Chinese
and japanese into an ambush on the
pretense of showing them some treas
ure and killed all but three.
In punishment for this treachery the
japanese inaugurated a method of cleo
trocution. Large bodies of troops We're
sent out and now when a company of
head hunters is located the place is sur
rounded by wire fence. The wires are
charged with electricity. The soldiers
begin to shoot; the savages stampede
and then the deadly wires get those that

Roadside Wit,

He who matched wits with the au-
thor of The Ancient Mariner had in
deed q lively task before him, for Cole
ridge was never caught mapping. The
poet was so awkward a horseman that
his riding often attracted comment of
anything but a complimentary nature
One day he was riding along the turn
pike road in the county of Durham
when a wag who met him fastened
upon him as an excellent subject for
sport. Consequently he drew rein and
said in an impertinent drawl:
My graceful friend, did you happen
to meet tailor on the road?"
I'm inclined to think l did" said
Coleridge meditatively. Il was not
sure at the moment, but he said some
thing about my meeting a goose far
Their along the road"
The wag put spurs to his horse, and
the poet logged calmly on his way.

Guilty, but Good Smoke.

The tendency to preserve relics of aD-
sent ones sometimes results in odd COM
plications, if the experience of a man
who visited West Philadelphia home
recently may be taken as an example.
He had been ushered into q small sit
ting room until the master of the house
should be at liberty to see him. He
took a chair, and, noticing a cornoob
pipe on shelf, picked it up, found it
about half filled with tobacco. lit it and
smoked.
When the tobacco was exhausted he
put the pipe back on the shelf and
waited for his host The latter came
in, their business was soon finished.
and then the host explained that most
of the articles in the room were pre-
served exactly as the son Of the house
had left them when he went to Europe
to study, several years before. Here,
for instance, is his pipe" he said, still
half loaded, just as he laid it down
when he was last at home 1t gives
his mother and myself great pleasure
to think that these things have NOT
been used or touched since he went
away, as If he were coming back to
finish his smoke. Sentiment, Of course
but 1t consoles u.s.

legious conduct too deeply to mention

Definite Understanding on immigration
Question Urged by Mikado's
Government.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. Co
incident with Viscount Aoki's summons
to Toxic comes the information inGi-
eating that Japan insists upon coming to
a definite understanding on the immjgra-
ton question and strongly urges an en-
tirely new immigration treaty with the
United States as the sole remedy.
Thomas J. O'Brien, American am
bassador to Japan, has informed the
state department that officials should be
cir studying conditions and the japanese
demands with the view Of framing some
new agreement.
This indicates. that Japan's efforts to
check immigration are a failure, that
Japan does not wish to be Inundated by
having different phases of the present
agreement thrashed out in Congress.
