HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS.
Estimated Damage Done by Rats In a
49, Single Year.


-. Single Year. 49, ~,
washington, May 30.-The great de-
struction wrought by rodents is point
ed out in a statement which has just
been issued by the department of agri-
culture on methods of destroying
rats. It. declares that, IAN. infallible
method Of determination of these ro-
dents would be worth more to the
people of the United States in single
decade, than the department of agri-
culture has cost since it's establish
ment."- 1t says the brown rat is the
worst mammalian pest in existence
and adds: :.' $50. =
'If for each COW, horse, sheep and
hog on the farms of the United States
the farmers support one rat on grain
the toll levied on the cereals by these
rodents would reach the enormous to-
tai of S1O0,000,000 a year.
'Their prolifcness is the chief OBJ
stacle of their determination. Three
filters Of ten each are produced every
year, a single pair, breeding without
check and without losses by death, in
three years would be represented by
ten generations and would number
20,155,992 individuals. The eleventh
generation, due at the beginning of
the fourth year, would number more
than 100,000000."

Plan for Reorganization Of Indus
tries Founded by Dowie.
MEANS DOWNFALL: OF VOLIVA
Scheme Provides for Sale of Property
Now in Hands of Receiver to the
Creditors, Most of Whom Are M en-
bers of the Church Organization.

Chicago, May 3o-Onaethe ground
that the estate of the late John Alex
ander Dowie, now in the hands Of Re-
ceiver John G. Hateley, is greatly de-
teriorating in value in the present
state of Reorganization a petition has
been prepared for presentation to
Judge Lands asking for a decree
granting the authority to the receiver
to sell the property without further
delay. It. is-said- that it is a plan for
the reorganization of Zion City and
may result in the complete overthrow
of Voliva, who has assumed ecclesias-
.tical and temporary power over the
church Of Zion since the death Of
Dowie.
Besides the petition for. immediate
sale of the Dowie~ property, it is an
nounced that an Injunction will be
asked restraining Mrs: Jane Dowie
and the trustees, one Of whom is John
A. Lewis, named by Dowie in his will
as his successor, from exercising any
rights in the property in the receivers
hands other than the property at Mus
kegon, Mich, claimed by Mrs. Dowie
Trustee Lewis said that no contest Of
the petition would be made by the
trustees, as it was understood that
the action of the receivers was for the
purpose of reorganizing the Zion prop
erty and Industries and would even
tually result in the restoration Of
peace among the Zion following.
J Trustee Lewis said that if the prop
erty is sold as proposed in the petit
tion it will be bought up by creditors
and most of the. creditors are in the
church organization. The creditors,
1t IS said, have agreed to the reorgani-
cation plan

GUST GAS COMPANIES
City Of New York Begins Action
Against Nine Concerns.
NO RIGHT TO USE OF STREETS
Alleged In Complaint That Many Of
the Franchises Have Expired and
That Others Are Invaiidated by En-
terlng Into Illegal Combinations.

New York, Maya Suit to compel
the Consolidated Gas company and
the eight other companies doing bust
ness in this city to relinquish their
franchises and to take from them all
the permits to use the streets which
they now enjoy was begun in the SUI
preme court during the day by Cor
poration Counsel Ellison on behalf of
the city. -. =
The actions begun by the corpora
ton counsel are against the Consoli-
dated Gas company, the New York
Mutual Gas Light company, the New
Amsterdam Gas company. the Stand
ard Gas Light company and the fol
lowing subsidiary companies of the
Consolidated company: The New
York, Manhattan, Metropolitan, Har-
lem, Municipal and Knickerbock
Gas Light companies. The capital
stock Of the Consolidated company,
which controls all the other COM
panies, is $S0,00O,000. The suits are
brought separately SO that if the Con-
solidated be declared illegal the sub
sidiary companies may be declared
illegal also and their franchises de-
clared null and void:
Anti-consolidation Franchises.
The Mutual, New Amsterdam and
Standard are proceeded against sep
arately because their franchises orig
inally contained provisions prohibiting
consolidation with any other company.
The corporation counsel alleges that
all of the franchises originally grant
ed the gas companies, with two excep-
lions, have expired by limitation and
he moves to GUST the companies from
the use Of the streets and entirely cut
off the right of eminent domain Or the
use Of public or private property for
distributing gas to consumers.
In commenting On the suits Mr.. Eli
son said they were brought in fulfill
ment Of a determination made several
months ago .toF5begin action as soon
as the conditions of the present go
cent gas litigation would permit. He
believed then and he believes now, he
said, that under the law the gas com
panies have no rights at all in the
city. ,s.1--~s.- =, = =
: Mr.. Ellison said his suits will not
interfere in any way with the action
begun last week by Attorney General
Jackson to have the charter of the
Consolidated Gas company annulled.

Claims Sustained

UNITED STATES COURT OF CLAIMS
The Publishers of Webster's International
Dictionary allege that it els, in fact, the pOpll-
lar Unabridged thoroughly re-edited in every
detail, and vastly enriched in every part, with
and severer requirements of another genera
tiOn.'
We are of the opinion that this allegation
most clearly and accurately describes the
work that has been accomplished and the
result that has been reached. The Dictionary,
as it now stands, has been thoroughly re-
edited in every detail, has been corrected in
every part. and is admirably adapted to meet
the larger and severer requirements of
generation which demands more of popular
pathological knowledge than any generation
that the world has ever contained.
1t is perhaps needless to add that we refer
to the dictionary in our judicial work as of
the highest authority in accuracy of detini-
ton; and that in the future as in he past it
will be the source Of constant reference.
