to PROFOUND them in the executive
chair of the Empire state.

entreaties for the head of Hughes.
At Albany senators and assembly
men are armlng for fight to save
their political lives.
Hearst says he believes Hughes

Daley did it, James J. Daley OF
the city comptroller's office. Basic
him with a SNOWFALL every time
you get chance. And every time
you have to wade through a drift
get busy and hunt up the chance.
For 1t was Daley who prophe-
sized all this snow long ago. And
now he is going around with the
satisfied look Of the cat which has
just assimilated the canary. He
happily says. Il told you So"
Appealed to for relief, he pauses
only long enough to mutter. Snow

STANDARD OIL
IS OvERRULED

FTNLAY, o., Jan. 3.-In ruling
on the Standard Oil contention that
the new rate law extinguishes pen
alties imposed by the Elkins law,
Judge Lands today decided that
this Interpretation of the intention
of congress is inconceiveable and
fully, sustained the argument of
the government attorneys. The
court held that the indictments
sufficiently aver that defendants
property was transported at a pre-.
ferential rate. He declared the law
operative against both consignee
and consignor, throwing out the
contention that Standard Oil was
only consignee.

PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. g.
Culbertson took up the fight for
Roosevelt in the senate today. In
discussing the Foraker resolution
he defended the citizens of Browns
vile and denounced the negro SOL
diers. He cited authority for the
presidents action in dismissing the
soldiers and said less authority
than exercised in the present case
would render the government inn
potent. Culbertson addressed most
of his remarks to Foraker, who
followed him closely.
The senate postponed considera-
ton Of the Foraker resolution and
adjourned until Monday.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Jan. 3

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. g.
The political fight of the coming
year will center in New York. All
the forces of corporate and politi-
cal influence will be marshaled
against the reforms proposed by
Hughes.
The fight is really national be-
cause If the trusts win in New
York reforms in other states will
be retarded. Political parties are
certain to undergo re-alignment in
the struggle.
Hughes is backed by Roosevelt.
The president Is silent factor, but

will be able to aid Hughes unmeas-

SHAKY
BRIDGE

Councilman w. T. Horn caused a
commotion in the council last night
by announcing that the south end
of the Monroe st. bridge had veered
a foot to the west since the railing
was Strengthened last summer. The
council became interested in the
question of who no report on this
bridge had been filed by Expert
Forsyth of the O. r. & N. Com
missioner Roy said that Forsyth
had left and intended to return for
that job but never did.
Councilman Horr volunteered the
information that Contractor An
drews, who built the bridge IA
years ago, was heer last summer
and said the structure had been
weakened by the city repair gang
tightening it only in places where
the job was easily done. Horr
thought Andrews could be secured
to make an examination.
The discussion closed with re-
quest that the board of public
work communicate with Engineer
Forsyth on the subject.
w. T. Roy, superintendent of
bridges, says the bridge has been
out of plumb for more than a year,
or ever since the fill was put in
on Main st. He says Mr.. Horr had
reference principally to the railing
being out of line. Mr. Roy has al
ways considered the bridge ought
to be investigated but does not con-
slider it in any danger Of collapse.

ST. PAUL, Jan. 3-Suddenly pro-
claimed the wealthiest man in the
United States, Frederick Weyer-
haeuser. practically an unknown,
had hidden himself from the lime
light until now.
His wealth Is estimated by some
to be greater than Rockefeller's He
is the timber and lumber king Of
the Northwest. About him little is
known except that he started on
nothing and now controls tens of
thousands of square miles of the
most valuable timber on the CONT
nent of North America. To acquire
this wealth he toiled assiduously
since he came to this country 81
years ago as poor emigrant from
southern Germany.
The main properties of Weyer-
haeuser, who lives in St. Paul mod
estly and almost alone, lie mostly
in Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Cali
fornia. Wisconsin and Minnesota.
He is associated as silent partner
in a score of big companies and
with individuals few of whom are
known or are concerned much with |
his relation to the other companies.
The backbone of his organization
is what is known as the Weyer-
haeuser syndicate, which is chiefly
He practically die
tates the wholesale timber and lum-
Der prices of the Northwest.
The vast holdings of Weyer-
haeuser are said to have been made
possible through a peculiar bit OF
national legislation in 1897, through
a provision in an innocent appear
ing appropriation for the preserva-
ton of forests. This provision was
that holders Of homestead or patent
claims isolated within the limits of /
a public forest preserve could re-
linqulsh 1t to the government and
get in exchange for 1t other vacant
land open to settlement at no ad- ]
dltional cost to the claimant or |
patentee. This made 1t possible for
the big transcontinental railroads,
which had great land grants, to ex-
change practically worthless land
or denuded land for compact blocks |
of forest land open to settlement. |

ests bought up With alacrity at a |
