AN AMUSING ANNANiAs.

We cheerfully confess that we get a
Charles w. Posts paper, ''The Square
Deal" 1t is such an entertaining sam
pie of Annanias work that it furnishes
us more amusement than a circus.
the bones of Annanias rattle with
envy. Here is sample prevarica-
ton from the last issue of this anus
ing organ of the National Association
of Manufacturers:
" 1.-The reader will notice that they
(the union printers) make a great ado
over the benevolent feature of their
union. 1t is true that the affiliated
printers unions have home for aged
printers at Colorado Springs built with
money mostly donated by an indul-
gent public and into which a sick and
distressed non-union man, but one of
Gods creatures nevertheless, can enter
and be cared for with just the same
ease with which a camel could go
through the eye of a needle"
There are two barefaced lies in the
above short extract. And Charles w.
Post knew they were barefaced lies.
There is no such thing as 1.-The affili-
lated printers union" There is an In
ternational Typographical Union,
which embraces in it's membership
printers.
But the principal leland Post
knew it was a lie-is the statement
that the Union Printers Home at Colo
mostly donated by an indulgent pub
lie The Union Printers Home was
built with money donated by union
printers. OF the 100000 spent in
building and maintaining the home,
less than $4,000 was contributed by
other than union printers, and the
small portion that was donated by out
siders was donated by men and women
in hearty sympathy with unionism,
and who knew that the home was to
be maintained for members of the In
ternational Typographical Union only.
George w. Childs gave $1,000, and his
partner, Mr.. Drexel, gave $4,000. The
small balance of donations came from
men and women who have visited the
home, acquainted themselves with its
purpose and manifested desire to
help. 1t is true that none but union
printers can gain admission. But any
competent printer with clean indus
trial record can -hnaowa>a member OF

EMPEROR WILLIAM
 ADVOCATES PEACE
THE GERMAN RULER IS BOLDLY RECEIVED IN ENGLAND, BUT HE EMPHASIZES HIS DESIRE FOR UNITY.

London, November 13.-Emperor Will liam of Germany, the guest of king Ed ward, made a speech today at the Guild hall, where he was entertained by the city of London. He urged the strength ening of the Anglo-German relations and emphasized his unalterable desire to fos ter the peace of the world.
 The day passed oh without the eX pected socialist demonstration, much less any disorder or roting. The re- ception accorded Emperor William by the people of London has been respect full but compared to that given some other royal visitors of recent years it was in no sense enthusiastic. The at mosphere that has prevailed during his appearance in public has been tinged with decided coldness and there is no doubt that the English officials are re- lieved that the passing of the Emperor through the streets was attended by no disagreeable incident.
 The anti-German flag among a large section of the English people, which is just at present played strong, gives fresh impetus to the antagonism which cropped out between the two nations on various lines during the recent peace conference at The Hague. Emperor William evil dently intends that his visit shall in- spire better feeling but the results re- main to be seen.

COMPLAINT FILED WITH COMMISSION Serious Charges Made Against
 Railroads LUMBERMEN ARE INJURED Railroads of the Northwest Charged With Combining and Raising Rates
 On Lumber, Causing Loss
 To Complainants.
LUMBERMEN ARE INJURED

Washington, November 1S.-Allegations of serious import were made in com plaint filed today with the interstate com merce commission. They involve charges of unfair discrimination, illegal concert of action as to suppression of competition against practically all of the northwest ern railroad companies. The complaint was filed by the Oregon and Washington Lumber Manufacturers association, and several other North Pacific lumber or ganizations against the Union Paclhe Railroad company and other western and northwestern lines.
 It is asserted by the complainants that the defendants, by concurrence and con- cert of action, absolutely fix and main tain rates on all forest products from points of origin in the Pacific northwest to points of destination in the easein states It is alleged that the Great North ern Railway company and the Northern Pacific Railroad company dominate and control defendant, the Chicago, Burling- ton and Quincy Railroad company, through the ownership of its capital stock; that the defendant, Union Pacific Railroad company, dominates and con trols the defendants, the Oregon Rail road and Navigation company, the Ore gon Short Line Railroad company and Southern Pacific company by virtue of the ownership of the majority of the capital stock and by other devices and arrange ments, so that there is no competition be- tween these lines; that the Southern Pa cihc dominates and controls defendants. the Oregon and California Railroad com pany and the Corvallis and Eastern Rail road company, through ownership of majority of the capital stock or by lease or otherwise.
 It is asserted that the defendants, act- ing in concert, have made an advance of from 5 to 10 cents per hundred pounds, effective November 1, on all forest prod- ucts that the rates are excessive, extor- tionate prohibitive and discriminatory; and that if exacted from the complain- ants the lumber industry of the Pacific northwest will be seriously injured, if not abruptly destroyed. The complainants aver that they have $60,0O0000 capital in- vested in their industries, that they em- ploy 10000 people: that their annual pay rolls aggregate $20000,000, and that they pay in freight SIP. .O000 GOO annually for 300,00O carloads of forest product.
 The commission is asked to adjust the rates on a fair and equitable basis. and full light of the fair value Of the prop erty of the transportation company.

DEFENSE OF LEWIS
 IN FRAUD TRIAL
DEFENDANTS COUNSEL SAYS THE PLEA IS THAT BANK WAS SOLVENT WHEN CLOSED BY THE GOVERNMENT.

St. Louis, November 13.-In the trial of F. G. Lewis, mayor of University City, who is charged by the government with having used the mails to derraud, counsel for the defendant stated today that Lewis defense will be that the Peoples United States bank, of which he was president at the time, was closed by a government fraud order and was absolutely solvent.
 The government contendeds that it mat ters not whether anyone was defrauded If it can be proven that Lewis originated the scheme, the purpose of which was to defraud, and that it is wholly imma- terial whether the bank was solvent If the conditions named in his periodicals were not lived up to in all reports.
 The government has about 40 witnesses yet to be heard. N. Lee Travers, who was for time intimately connected with F. G. Lewis in the latter's real estate enterprises here, was found dead in the library of his homo at Kirkwood today. On the floor lay a glass and there was a strong odor of carbolic acid in the room The coroner's jury rendered yer dict of death from carbolic acid poisoning, but made no mention Of suicidal intent. MT. Travers had been sufferer from ex- treme nervousness.

RANSDELL ISSUES
 HARMONY ADDRESS
CONGRESSMAN ASKS PEOPLE OF ALL SECTIONS TO UNITE IN SEE CURING APPROPRIATIONS FOR WATERWAYS.

Lake Providence, La, November 13.- An address urging harmony of all sec tions of the United States to the end of securing $50,0O0,00O annually from Congress for river and harbor improve ments was issued today by Congress- man J. E. Ransdell, president of the National Rivers and Harbors congress. MT Ransdell said
 All projects in the Union now under contemplation, and which have been ap- proved by the engineers department, involve a cost of less than $500 ,000, 900. At the rate of $50,000, 900 q year all of them could be provided for in ten years. It is questionable whether more than S50,000, 900 year can be expended wisely, and that should be divided among a number of projects. I under stand that a feeling of discord has been generated among waterways peo- pie. We who have good projects can safely rely upon their merits if a broad, liberal waterways policy is adopted"

IS CHARGED WITH
 MISUSE OF FUNDS John R. Walsh of Chicago
 Comes to Trial MILLIONS WERE INVOLVED Government Will Attempt To Show That Walsh Watered Stock, Voted It To Himself and Pocketed
 All the Proceeds.
MILLIONS WERE INVOLVED

Chicago. November 13.-The trial of John R. Walsh formerly president of the Chicago National bank, now de- funct, on a charge of misuse of funds of that institution, formally opened to- day. The jury was completed shortly after noon and Assistant District At torney Fletcher Dobyns, at the opening of the afternoon session, began the preliminary statement in behalf of the government. It is expected that MT. Dobyns will not conclude until late to- morrow
 The government will attempt to show that Walsh took from the Chicago Ma tional bank, the Equitable Trust com pany and the Home Savings bank $14,- O00,000. In his statement MT. Dobyns declared that Walsh obtained the own ership of various large properties with out cost to himself by using the funds of the banks. He said:
 "Watered stock to the probable amount of $25 5,0o0,000 or $3O000, 900 was issued. Mr. Walsh through his em- ployes, voted the stock to himself. He then sold this stock to the banks. talk ing the money to build up his private enterprises. All of the stock so sola by Mir Walsh was perfectly value less. It was the practice to make loans to one of his companies and then sell the bonds of that company to the bank These bonds were practically worthless
 The assistant district attorney stated to the jury that MT. Walsh had in- duced various persons to sign "aceom- notation notes for the bank.
 Then" said MT. Dobyns, he signed the names of people to notes. The checks were made out to bearer, and credited to the personal account of MT Walsh. Bonds were made out to the same dummies whose names were on the notes and the credits were made to Mir. Walsh's account.
 Tn 1903, MT. Walsh was told by the bank examiner that the Chicago Ma tional bank was being loaded down with the securities of MT. Walsh's per sonal enterprises. The examiner or dered him to take these securities out and MT. Walsh promised to do so.
 Tn 1904, the bank was found in the same condition. the warning was re- peated and MT. Walsh again promised to remove the securities Another eX- aminer found that the bank was in worse condition than ever and 1t was later closed.
 "The government will show that MT. Walsh's method was to buy from hi1n- self, fix his own price and put the money in his pocket"

 Hero Medal.

Belleville. H., November 1S.-The first attempt of lawyer to collect for ser vices in connection with the award of a Carnegie hero medal was overthrown here when a jury in the circuit court found a verdict for Theodore Boetteeher, hero miner, who has sued for 1850 by Attorney Thomas R. Mould, on the ground that Mould secured for him a medal and $SoO. The verdict was rendered on the testl- mony of Frank NJ. Wilmot of PittsburG. secretary and manager of the Carnegie hero fund commission, who said the $S5J was paid Boettecher to liquidate a mort gage on his home, and who told Mould when the attorney went before the com- mission that paid attorneys were not rec ognized as such by the commissioners. and was assured by Mould that he was acting as a friend.

Is Congress impotent to prevent u group of men from controlling all the railroads of the United States through the medium of the stock owner ship by directors2
 'Is the interstate commerce commission to be prevented from inquiring into such vital matters as these, because MT. Har- riman will say so. and say which of the directors might carry on stock deals in other companies?'
 At the conclusion of the hearing Judge Hough said he nbssibly could not de- eide the case before December ].
