MetropoIitan's Books Destroyed.
The effort of the new public utilities
commission Of New York city to un-
cover the stock watering transactions
resulting in the big local traction COM
bine appeared to be baked when Sec
rotary Morehead of the Metropolitan
Street Railway company testified that
in 1905 all the books of the company
were sold as junk and ground into
pulp by his order. Although this is a
criminal offense, Moorehead is believed
to be immune from prosecution be-
cause he was called to give information
to the commission.
Alton Proceeding Postponed. 90.
Contrary to the supposed instruc-
tons of Attorney General Bonaparte
to District Attorney Sims to discon-
tinue proceedings against the Chicago
and Alton railroad for rebating to
Standard Oil, Mr.. Sims moved that the
case be postponed to Sept. "a, as he
and his associates had not completed
their investigations. 1t was so or
dered by Judge Lands. The attorney
general was understood to have writ
ten Sims that he was bound by an
agreement between Attorney General
Moody and the Alton officials granting
immunity for their assistance in con-
vfcting the Standard. Sims is said to
have new evidence of rebating since
the immunity agreement.
Bloodhounds For New York.
Deputy Police Commissioner Woods
Of New York after an extended tour

Wreck Indictment Stands.
Alfred H Smith, vice president and
general manager of the New York Cen
trail railroad, cannot escape trial for
manslaughter as the person responsible
for the wreck of the electric express
at Woodlawn Feb. 16, in which TWEEN
ty-one persons were killed, as his de-
murrer to the Indictment has been de-
MED. Counsel for Smith had asserted
that no allegation was made of his
having omitted any duty imposed by
law or contract. pE
Illinois Motormen Responsible.
The coroner's~ jury at Nation, ILL.,,

responsible for the Charleston electric
car disaster which caused the death of

Hanna) said that he was authorized
to settle the strike through President
Mitchell of the Miners union on con-
dition of 10 per cent increase in
wages. Consequently the defendant
claims that the advance In the price
Of coal was in no way influenced by
the motives Of monopoly alleged in the
petition.
The Reading company denies that it
holds the entire capital stock of the
railway company and of the Coal and
Iron company and majority of the
Central Railroad of New Jersey, but
admits that it owns ga beneficial In
terest in the major portion Of the
share capital of each Of the said cor
porations." 1t is declared that the
Reading company no longer holds any
stock of the Central Railroad Of New
Jersey, $4,000 shares having been
transferred in 1901 to the Pennsyl-
vania company. Finally the Reading
company denies the charge that 1t en-
tered into an unlawful combination to
control the production, transportation
and sale of coal.
The Temple Iron company, another
organization of which Mr.. Baer is
president, also made answer to tine
government suit against the coal trust.
This company denies that the coal
roads purchased its capital stock. It
admits that the corporation acquired
several small coal mining companies,
but claims the purchasers were under
the authority of the laws of Pennsyl-
yania and contends that the United
States courts have no Jurisdiction to
enter decree enjoining the other coal
companies named from voting stock
in the Temple company. Its answer,
like those of the three Reading COM
panies, calls the governments charges
'vague, indefinite, impertinent and
Bcandalous."

Hearst In Conservative Role.
William r. Hearst, the millionaire
newspaper editor, and Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, were the principal
speakers at the Jamestown exposition
on Labor day, and a vast throng Of
people was there assembled from all
parts of the country. Mr.. Hearst
whose papers and utterances hereto
fore have been associated with various
forms of radicalism, though never go
ing beyond the assumed position of
fundamental democracy, appeared in
somewhat new role as the defender
of capital and the opponent Of class
distinctions. Said Mr. Hearst: III
have no patience with the prejudices
which exist between alleged classes
when the classes themselves do not
really exist There is no reason for
hostility between employer and en-
ployee, between capitalist and wage
Garner Capital is but the accumula-
ton of wealth which employer and en-
ployee create together" He went on
to argue that the great financial pro-
motors and captains of industry are
worthy Of their reward, that they work
as hard as any of us and that their
work is necessary to the full produc
ton of riches out of which are paid the

He says it is direct conclusion from
this that the planet is at present the
abode of intelligent beings. He adds
that the theory of such life was not an
priori hypothesis on his part, but
was the result Of observations now
fully confirmed. On the photographs
taken already he has counted fifty-six
canals, and it nRw appears certain that
the positioning of points of the Mar
tlan topography will be realized. Three
of the photogra phs are published in
Nature and show various canals hither-
to unknown to European astronomers.
A. S. Eddington, F. r. s., of the

not proved his case and that he is more

ering that these canals are the result

French Again Repulse Moors.
Another pitched battle occurred at
Casablanca Sept. 4, when 5000 Moors
advanced upon the French works.
Mounted on white horses. and carrying
banners in the front line, they charged
from the hills in regular formation and
galloped to- within 400 yards of the
French camp chanting in unison
verses from the Koran. The French
forces under General Drude were de-
ployed so as to bring the fire from
modern rifles and machine guns upon
the attacking hosts with deadly effect.
More than 800 Moors were reported
slain, while only eight Frenchmen
were killed and a score wounded.
French cruisers in the harbor partici-
pated in the action by dropping shells
upon the Moorish forces. Many of the
cities and tribes of Morocco have now
declared allegiance to Mulai Hafid,

6ryan's Candidacy Announced.
What Is regarded as an official an
nouncement of the intention of VIII
liam J. Bryan to be candidate for
was made recently by Harry Fl. Wal
ker of the New York Progressive
league, who for the past eight years
has been looked upon as the close per-
sonal representative of Bryan. In a
prepared statement Mr. Walker says:
'"The situation has developed sufficient
ly to make safe these predictions: For
mer Governor David r. Francis of
Missouri will be chairman of the Dem
ocratic national convention. Augustus
Thomas of New York will present Mr..
Bryan's name to the convention, and

is expected that Mr.. Bryan will make
an extensive speechmaking tour
through the east the coming fall.
Judge Parker Never Again.
Judge Alton B. Parker of New York,
the last Democratic candidate for
president, has denied unreservedly
newspaper reports to the effect that he
is seeking another nomination. He
says he does not desire ever again to
hold public Office, but that he proposes
to express his views whenever he sees
fit and that he will not be deferred
by misrepresentation. ....
Calls Taft "Great Postponer."
In a speech made at Oklahoma City
Sept. William J. Bryan replied to the
recent address made by Secretary Taft
at the same place. He referred to
Taft's attitude toward tariff revision,
which he favors, but would defer def
mite action until after the next cleo
ton; to his disposition to tell the Fill
pinos that they ought to have self gov
ernment-after awhile-and to his ad-
vice to the people Of Oklahoma to re-
ject their proposed constitution and
postpone statehood until another en-
abling act can be secured. He said
that Taft thus gave promise of acquir-
ing the title of the "Great Postponer."

Peak Rises From Sea.
DR.. c. Eakle and A. B. Meyers, men,
bers of an expedition which left Seat
tie last year in the schooner Lydia to
inquire into the formation Of Perry
island, have returned to San Fran
cisco. During their stay in Alaskan
waters the scientists discovered a new
peak, which has since been named
McCulloch peak. By the formation Of
this peak Perry island has been trans
formed into peninsula connected
with Bogoslog island. The whole for
nation is steaming hot. Several earth
quakes due to volcanic disturbances
which preceded the advent of McCul-
loch peak were felt by both DR.. Eakle
and his companion.
Use Of Seismograph In War.
According to dispatches from Vienna,
some important experiments were
made during the recent Ostend gun
merry trials by Professor Belar, director
Of the Laibach earthquake observa-
tory, who used the seismographic ap-
pai'atus to see if it was possible to
calculate scientifically by the vibra-
tons of the earth the location and di-
rection of distant artillery fire. The
c-rc"i~ 7"nts were satisfactory, and
they will be continued during the COM

largely to a protest against the dis
