While she was docked here a repre-,
sentative of the Astorian was the recip'

hands OF Mr.. S. X. Balcom, the expert
operator of the magnificent Massie wire

Roanoke. Mr.. Balloon went into as much
detail of the intricate and beautiful
machine as any ordinary layman couli
reasonably absorb, and illustrated the
working OF the plant, in the transmission
and reception OF messages, which, by the
way, are two very different propositions.
the sending of communication being
wrought with an abundance OF noise and
brilliant electric display, and the re-
ceiying of the distant message being
achieved only through the most delicate
and highly trained sense OF hearing, SC

Governor Conner of Alabama announc-
ed that President Emerson and GEN
eral Counsel Alexander Hamilton of
the Atlantic Coast Line had agreed to
put into effect the freight rate named
in the railroad rate bills and also the

Decisions of the Supreme Court.
The United States supreme court at
Washington has handed down a de-
cision favorable to the company in the
case of the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad company against Marcus Z.
Bitterman and others. The action was
to enjoin Bitterman and other scalpers
from dealing in non-negotiable reduced
fare Louisville and Nashville tickets.
In the cases of the Webster Coal
company and the Pennsylvania Coal
and Coke company against the Penn
sylvania Railroad company, the action
being to recover damages alleged to
have been sustained by reason of the
roads discrimination in favor of other
companies in the transportation of
coal, the court decided that the officers
of the railroad could be required to ex-
hibit its books for inspection by the
coal companies in advance of the trial
to assist the plaintiffs in the prepare
ton of their case.
In the case of Thomas Polk and 9TH
ers of Tennessee against the Mutual
Reserve Fund Life Association of New
York the court decided that the re-
incorporation of the company had not
violated any of the rights of the policy
holders and that therefore the state
law under which the company acted
was not in contravention of the federal
constitution.
Thaw Trial Over to Jan. 9.
Against the wishes and pleas of Har-
ry Thaw, the wealthy Pittsburg young
man held in the New York Tombs for
the murder Of Stanford White, the
second trial, which had been set for
Dec. 2, was again postponed on mo-
ton of District Attorney Jerome until
Jan. 6 on the ground that the jury
would have to be locked up during the
Christmas holidays. Martin w. Lit
Teton appeared for the defendant, and
his wife, Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, was
the only member of his family to at
tend the session. Mr. Littleton win be

The trial of Mrs. Annie Bradley at
Washington for the murder of ex-Sen-
ator Brown Of Utah, with whom she
had been on intimate terms for years,
ended with verdict Of mot guilty.
Dec. after the jury had been out

held out against the verdict for hours,
and he was for manslaughter. The
crowd in the courtroom applauded the
verdict, the technical ground of which
was insanity induced by the III treat

form of initiation He defines it as
"basing one credit upon another cred
it." hence be deems the credit curren-
cy the safest because it would always
be sent to banks of issue promptly
and necessitate proper reserves.
The Man Without Party.
The refusal of the house Republican
caucus to admit Representative Peter
A. Porter after he had expressed his
desire to be counted among the Re-
publicans left that new member in the
role of the man without party, for
already he had objected to being listed
as Democrat. Porter was elected as
an independent Republican In the
Twenty Fourth New York district by a
large majority over James w. Wads-
worth on the regular Republican tick
ct at the time Wadsworth was suffer-
ing for his stand against the presi-
dents meat inspection bill in congress.
That is why they say that Porter rode
into congress on cow"
Bryan Likes the Message.
| w. J. Bryan is quoted as being In
accord with much of the presidents
message to congress. In particular he
likes the recommendation that the gov
eminent pay the expenses of elections,
only be would add provision against
private contributions. He also strong
iy approves of the postal and guaran-
teed banks.
Naming Fowler, Snubs Plat.
The nomination of Edward S. Fowler
as collector of the port of New York
without the knowledge or approval of
the New York senators was regarded
as direct snub Of Plat, who has al
ways had much to say about this i'm
portant political plum. Fowler is
known as Roosevelt Democrat" and
is an old personal friend and former
employer of Secretary Cortelyou. New
York papers unfriendly to the presi-
dent say it Is sign that he is trying
to keep the organization from sending

convention.

lions presented being such as had be-
come familiar to the public through
the presidents speeches during the
past year. and on several subjects he
quoted freely from former messages,
renewing previous recommendations.
Perhaps the most novel and radical
should pay the campaign expenses of
the two great parties, thus avoiding
ghe collection of large corruption funds.
He referred to the energy and in
austrial ability of the American people
and the fundamental soundness of our
business conditions and deplored the
practice of money boarding. He re-
iterated the necessity of government
control of interstate commerce and in
sisted that the federal constitution
makes ample provision for such con-
troll, ard in this connection he would
provide federal charter for large cor
porations doing interstate business. A.,
revision Of the currency laws to pro-
vide for greater elasticity in the vol
ume of the circulating medium is
strongly urged. He renewed his rec
concentrations for the imposition Of an
income and Inheritance tax, indorses
the postmaster generals plan for post
al savings banks and the extension of
the parcels post and would provide for
a better ocean mail service. The pres
ent system of protective tariff, he
thinks, should be preserved, but adj
mits that revision of the schedule
may be desirable. He strongly urges

through the Mississippi valley and
along the Atlantic coast declares for

material increase in naval construction
the coming year. A recommendation
is also made for representation at the
Tokyo exposition in 1912.
Chairman Fowler Reappointed.
AS an indication Of desire on the
part of congress TO deal promptly with
the currency question Speaker Cannon
departed from precedent in naming
the house committee on banking and
currency in the opening hours Of the
session instead of waiting until after
the Christmas recess. Fowler of New
Jersey, who recently criticised Secre-
tary Cortelyou for what he termed
his inefficient efforts to relieve the
financial situation The committee is
expected to organize at once

The caucus Of Democratic senators
chose Culberson Of Texas as chairman,
position which by custom carries
with it the authority of minority lead
ership in the senate and which was
held by his colleague, Senator Bailey.
The fact that Culberson was elected
without opposition showed that the

court at Wilmington, all denying the

the business is not unlawful because

the smaller concerns were absorbed by
The voluntary consent of both parties.

FederaIizing State Railroads.
The United States circuit court of APP
peals at ST. Louis, reversing the de-
cision Of the district court for Colora-
do in the case against the Colorado
and Northwestern Railroad company,
holds that any railroad wholly within
a state, but carrying goods consigned
from one state to another, is subject to
the interstate commerce law and to
regulation by the interstate commerce
commission. Judges Sanborn of St Paul
and Van Devanter of Cheyenne gave
the decision, Judge Philips of Kansas
City dissenting.

The North Carolina supreme court
has reversed Judge Long of the su-
perior court in the 1000 fine imposed
on the Southern railway for selling
tickets above the rate of "a cents a
mile established by the legislature.
The higher court holds the criminal

trustees had come to the conclusion,
after asking the opinion of twenty-five
other colleges, that they should not
accept the millions left them by Miss
Anna 7. Jeanes with the condition that
all intercollegiate athletic contests be

however, that IL the estate were very

Ridgely For a Central Bank
During the evening devoted to LES

American Academy of Political and
Social Science at Philadelphia many
financial experts advocated a central
government bank as the true remedy,
among them Comptroller of the Cur.
rency Ridgely, whose defense Of the
president was cheered by the audi
ence. He insisted that the causes OF
the panic were worldwide and that the
critics of the president had done more
than any one else to unsettle the finan-
cial conditions of the country. The
central bank in some form was adyo-
Gated by Bankers Schiff, Seligman,
Nash and others.
Senator Foraker's Candidacy.
The letter written by Senator For
aker of Ohio in response to the reso-
lutions of the Ohio Republican league

announcement Of willingness to accept
support to the end of his becoming the
candidate Of the party for the presi-
dency. In it the senator virtually laid
down his platform by saying he will
