Government Ownership Of
Telegraph.

An appeal has been made to the
President and he is carefully con-
sitlering it. for the investigation
of the big telegraph companies
with view To government owner
ship under the Postotiic Depart
ment or else close government
supervision ON the same basis that
the railroads are now overlooked
by the Interstate Commerce Conl-
mission. The telegraph is as
much a part of modern business
life as is the POstoffice. 1t is
more of public service corpora
ton than any other institution in
the country except the railroads.
Considering the immense divid-
ends paid by the commercial
telegraph companies even on their
heavily watered stock, it is GER
tain that the public could be
given telegraph service by the
government 1t something APP
preaching the present postal
rates, and still leave a margin for
profit and depreciation. Govern
ment ownership may not be desir-
able, but as the present strife
keeps up between the operators
and the companies. there is u fair
possibility that the telegraph may
be taken over by the government
as a measure of public protection.
One does not hear of strikes in
the postal service and their elimi-
nation would be great thing for
the business public.

ANOTHER FUEL FAMINE NEAR.
Coal Enough to Last Only Little Over
Week at MissouIa, Mont.

Butte, Mont, Jan. "a dispatch
from MissOula states that the North.
ern Pacific railway at that point il
confronted with a famine, the situa.
ton being aggravated by the extra de.
mand for coal to maintain big rotary
plows on the Couer d'Alene line
where the snow in some places is said
to be eight feet deep. AS it is, that
branch of the Northern Pacific through
the mountain section is said to be
practically snow bound. Coal has
ceased coming from the Roslyn mines
and the bunkers of the company at
this place contain only 10000 tons, q
little more than enough to last" the
balance of the week.
Washington. Jan. 9.-In view of the
fact that many homestead settlers are
said to be freezing in North Dakota
and the rules of the department Of the
interior provide in many cases that
residence of the settler shall be con.

pared resolution to relieve the sit
uation- He proposes that the settlers
be permitted leave of absence for
three months to extend over the winter
period and that this absence shall not
interfere with their entry rights.

NO WORD FROM MISSING SHIP.

for New York. Incoming steamers
which passed over the course usually
followed by the Ponce report that
nothing was seen of the missing steam

that the Ponce is drifting about with
disabled machinery, waiting for as
sistance or that she has been picked
up by some steamer and is being
slowly towed to port. Some color is
given this latest theory by the con-
tinued non-arrival of the Trinidad,

BLOW At GOULD MEResA
SUITS FILED AGAINST SEVERAL
COMPANIES IN MISSOURI.
Attorney General Hadley Asks That
License Of Concerns Violating
Law Be Revoked.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Jan: 1O:-Suits
to dissolve the alleged merger of the
Wabash, Missouri Pacific and Iron
Mountain railway companies and the
Pacific Express company and to re-
woke the licenses and charters of the
Pacific Express company, American
Refrigerator Transit company, West
ern Coal and Mining company, Rich
Hill Coal Mining company and Kan
sas-Missouri Elevator company were
filed in the supreme court by Attorney
General Hadley Wednesday. The petit
ton alleges the stocks of the COM
panies named are owned by the same
interests; the Goulds, in violation of
the provisions of the constitution and
laws of Missouri.
Concerning the nature of the suits.
Attorney General Hadley said:
These suits are brought for the
purpose of forcing a discontinuance
of the ownership. of the stock OF the
Wabash. Missouri Pacific and Iron
Mountain companies, and the control
OF these three companies. two Of which
are paralleling and competing lines, by
the same interests and to force a dis
continuance of the ownership of the
stock by these companies in the Paci-
nc Express company, American Re.
frigerator Transit company, Rich Hill
Coal Mining company, Western Coal
and Mining company and the Kansas
Missouri Elevator company. BY this
stock ownership these roads have, in
fact. been engaging in business not au-
thorfzed by their charters and pro-
hibited by the constitution and laws
of the state. The forfeiture of the
charters of the coal mining companies
and of the Kansas Missouri Elevator
company is prayed for, the license of
the Pacific Express company and the
American Refrigerator Transit COM
pany to do business in the state is
asked, but the forfeiture of the char
ters OF the railroad companies is
asked for only in case they should fail
to discontinue, within definite time.
these usurpations, should the courts
so order. Illegal practices exist to a
greater or less extent in the case of a
number of other Missouri roads and
other suits will be begun as soon as
the work in my Office will permit.
These cases have been under consid-
GRAFTON nearly year, ever since the
disclosures incident to the Gould-Ram-
sey contest for control of the Wabash.
Their institution has howpver hoon

the Standard Oil and maximum freight
