The half dozen indictments against
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany found by the Federal grand jury
at the April term of the United States
Court at Clarksburg, WA, last year,
after special charge by Judge A. G
Dayton, on the question of violating
interstate commerce laws and discrim
ination in the distribution of cars and
shipments on the part of the railroads,
were dismissed by Judge Nathan Golf.
The rulings were on the demurrer filed
against the indictments and imforma-
tion against the railroad company.
The indictments were quasbed upon
the grounds that in one of the courts a
clerical error had been made. The de-
cislon includes the Red Rock Fuel
dase.

the same road. A policeman arrest
ed Finley, but did not succeed in
reaching the police court with his
prisoner. Just as he was ready to
leave the hotel a deputy United
States marshal walked in and took
charge of Mr.. Finley. Finley was
taken to the Federal Court room
where he was released by Judge
Pritchard. The officials of the rail
road then sought a conference with
Governor Glenn, and the result of
that meeting was, the Southern and
Atlantic Coast Line Railways prom
ised to obey the law pending an ap-
peal to the courts by the roads of
the state which propose to fight the
law.
Governor Glenn gave out a state
ment regarding the outcome of the
states fight for the Lucent rate
law as follows:
"The governor considers the vic
tory in the matter of the state
against the railroads as one for
states rights and the people. There
were many things that added to the
victory.
"First, the righteousness of the
cause, the determination of the peO-
pie through their officers, no longer
to submit to the oppression Of the
railroads Or the interference of the
federal courts.
"The governor feels that it is a
great step forward for states rights,
and that if all the other states of
the union will continue the fight al
ready begun in North Carolina and
insist upon their senators and rep
resentatives in congress trying to cur
tail the growing power of the federal
courts, in the future there will be
no trouble to control and direct rail-
roads and other corporations.

Fighting in Minnesota.
There is bitter fight on between
the United Steel Corporation and
the Western Federation Of Miners,
caused by the tie-up by strike of the
Minnesota iron mines, and bloodshed
is predicted by some, as in the Col
orado and Idaho struggles.
Intimidation and threats have
driven two thousand miners from the
Mesaba ranges in the Duluth region
during the week. They are mostly
Italians, not affiliated with any un-
ion. There are forty thousand min
ers on the iron range of Minnesota
Of these six thousand belong to the
Western Federation.

Gov. Hughes, Of New York, killed
24S of the 448 thirty-day bills left by
the Legislature. The total number
he has signed is 81, and there still
lie before him four passed at the ex-
traordinary session.
The wholesale killing which the
Governor achieved breaks all records.
He vetoed nine bills favoring rail
road corporations, shattered the
hopes of forty claimants for State
money, killed the Prentice official
primary ballot bill over the personal
protest of Republican County Chair
man Herbert Parsons, Of New York,
favored married women by vetoinc
the Cunningham bill making them IL
able for necessaries in case Of the
responsibility Of their husbands,
and put out Of business the Cobb bill
providing for quick review bv
the courts of apportionment ques-
tions and tying the hands of the
Democratic Secretary Of State.
The Governor further killed the
important bills urged by the state
Tax Commission. These measures
compelled corporations to come up
promptly with special franchise tax
es and authorized the tax board to
equalize special franchise tax valua-
tiOns throughout the State. The
Governor also vetoed the West bill,
providing that opticians shall pass a
State examination, and the Foley
bill, permitting the redemption of
trading stamps in money or goods
at the option Of the holder. The
Merritt pure food measure was given
its death blow, as we'll as the bill
giving immunity to witnesses in In.
surance rebate cases.
Forty-eight of the bills vetoed bv
the governor affected New York city.
Among them were those prohibiting
borough presidents from voting in
the board of aldermen; giving per
diem employees of the city vacations
with wages; authorizing the city to
appropriate $4,000 for monument
to Andrew H. Green, the Brooklyn
College consolidation bill and all
measures relating to claims against
the city and petitions for reinstate-
ment on the police and fire forces.

President Gompers, of the Ameri-

cations or annulments of existing

will result in reduction Of from 10

China Warned BY Viscount Hayashi.
Viscount Hayashi, japanese Min
lister of Foreign Affairs, in an inter
view at Seoul; Korea, said:
elf the fate of Korea may be re-
garded by China as a lesson, it should
be warning to that country to put
her house in order ere some strong
nation-whichever one might be
moved so to do-imitate the events
in Seoul.
"China's despotism, which is the
worst form of government, must YET
reach a crisis, as, when the present
ruling mind has gone, the State will
fall a prey to intrigues. +"
Prosecuting Ryan Road.
The North Carolina Corporation
Commission at Raleigh, N. c., issued
warrant against the South and
Western Railroad, charged it with
failing to make returns of it's prop
erty for assessment for taxes. The
penalty for violation Of this law is
$500, with $1O0 for each days delay.
The South and Western is the road
being built from Johnson City, Tenn,
to Marion, N. c., on the Southern
Railway, and Bostic, near Ruther-
fordton, on the Seaboard. It is

Senator Pettus Dead.
United States Senator Z. w. Pet
tus, of Alabama, died Saturday night
at Hot Springs, N. c., from the effects
of stroke of apoplexy, with which
he was seized while at the breakfast
table. His entire body was paral-
yzed, and he never regained con-
sciOusness since that time. The death
Of Senator Pettus follows quickly
the passing of his colleague from Ala
bama, Senator Morgan. Both were
notable types of the old schoo!
Southern statesman; much alike in
temperament, appearance, age and
political convictions. During the civil
war Mr.. Pettus rose to the rank of
brigadier-general in the Confederate
army. He entered the senate ten
years ago, and while not among the
brilliant orators Of that body, he was
notable for his conscientious atten-
tion to the details Of public business.

Beef was very scarce in I.adysmifh during the siege. but General Sir Ian Hamilton. then colonel, insisted that "horse is not half bad when properly cooked and when one is used to it. In fact" he said, concluding a discus sion, Il have a joint cooked tonight, which I hope you will all sample. Of course, there's beef, too-tonight" Ev- cry one at the table preferred the beef, with the exception of Colonels Ward and Ian Hamilton, who ostentatiously carved generous slices from the "lorse- flesh" The dinner was nearly over when one of the servants whispered communication to Ward. Up he sprang 'I'm distressed. gentlemen.'' he an, nounced to the startled company. "A silly mistake has been made. Those joints were mixed up somehow. and you have been eating the horse I'm really annoyed. But I hope you'll be convinced now that the meat Is splen. did eating. I'm sure you all seemed to enjoy It." Chances were exchanged: mustaches were twirled.

Iceland From a Lava Wall.

The general impression that Iceland is cold country is false one, says a writer in Travel Magazine. In Reyk. javik, the capital of the island, I one day perched myself on one of the lava walls and looked at scene of summer warmth and beauty. Familiar cows and cats and hens were busy In the sunshine. Children, thinly clad, were playing about with shouts of merri ment. Potatoes were in full blossom. and cabbage and various vegetables added to the sense of homelike comfort But such days are oases In vast deserts of rain, for If Iceland in summer Is not cold it is not comfortable
