In commenting on the recent court de-
cisions in New York City, canceling street
railway leases, which proved Improbable
and allowing new plan of operation with
out regard to the payment of former rate
of dividends, the Wall Street Summary
SAYS: at must be understood that fran.
chise to public service corporation is
given under conditions which make an
adequate service to the public obliga-
tory. The costs of providing this ade-
quate service come before dividends or
any return on the capital invested; and a
corporation which, from poverty, owing
to mismanagement or any other reason,
is unable to fulfill its obligations to the
public, is unworthy to have franchise"

The Portuguese government, according
to the newspapers of Lisbon, has discov-
cred and frustrated widespread repub-
lican plot for an uprising scheduled for
the anniversary of the abortive revolt of
July %, which was suppressed by ex
Premier Franco. This announcement fol-
lows a large number of mysterious ar
rests made within few weeks. Alfonso
Costa and Bernardino Machado, the re-
publican leaders, are among those under
suspicion. They have not been taken into
custody, but are kept under sharp police
surveillance. Portuguese officials are ret
icent regarding the matter. Senior Mag
70, the chief of police will say nothing
except that there was a conspiracy afoot
and that many men are implicated, in
Guiding officers of the army. FL Mundo
says the sergeants of the Sixteenth regi-
ment are involved and that there has been
a systematic propaganda among the other
regiments CHARTERED in Lisbon. The colo
nels of all the regiments located in tho
capital were summoned before the minis
ter of war and informed by him that
they would be held responsible for the
loyalty of their men. Ball cartridges
have been served out to the members of
the municipal guard. The Diario Popu-
lar, the official organ of the government,
says the authorities have taken the meas
ures necessary for the suppression of any
revolutionary outbreak.

History of the Great Case.
| II the summer of 1906 indictments
against the Standard Oil Company Of
Indiana were returned in the Federal
court at Chicago charging the corpora
ton with obtaining concessions from
railroads in shipments of oil from WilS-
ing Ind, where its plant is situated
At the trial of the case Involving the
Chicago and Alton, which began in
March, 1907, many counts of the indict-
lnent were quashed, leaving 1,462
counts on which judgment was asked
The hearing continued six weeks and
many witnesses were examined. The
| jury returned verdict finding the de-
PENDANT company guilty and leaving
the sentence to be fixed by Judge Lam
dis. In determining the amount of the
| fine the Judge caused John d. Rookie
Teller of the Standard Oil Company of
New Jersey to testify as to the real
ownership of the Indiana company, this
furnishing one of the most sensational
incidents in the case. Following all the
| testimony Judge lands imposed the
maximum fine of $4,000 on each of the
1862 counts of the indictment, making
the total of 500, 100000 the largest fine
known to the history Of the courts.
One of the points argued in the APP
peal was that the fine was excessive and
would wipe out the assets Of the Indi-
ana Oil Company. In an effort to in
crease the amount of the appeal bond
counsel for the government introduced
testimony on the earnings Of the COM

The celebration was attended by the
Prince of Wales, by representatives
from all theprincipal governments and
by the greatest collection of warships,
comprising English, French and Ameri-

They find that the following rules are al

haired children, but the chances Of curly
hair are slight. Two curly-haired parents
may have children with either straight
wavy or curly hair and the proportion OF

HLAMEs PAPERS FOR CRIME.

klfenist Says Publication Leads
Others to Emulate killings.
DR.. NJ. s. Gregory, resident alienist
of the psychopathic ward of Bellevue
hospital. New York, does not regard the
record of murders of the last seven weeks
as extraordinary. The panic, with re-
sulting want of work and distress, in DIR.
Gregory's opinion, paved the way fot
conditions that now exist. Timid per-
sons have fallen easier victims to their
fears. The excessive heat has brought
the climax and the results are found in
an increased number of persons mentally
unbalanced and in a corresponding in
crease in crime. But, more to be blamed
than the panic or hot weather, in DR..
Gregory's opinion, is the publication OF
the details of the crime. The Bellevue
alienist examines every person who COM
mits crime in New York under circum-
stances that indicate insanity. From this
broad experience DIR. Gregory has reach
ed the conclusion that, while publication
of crimes may have deterrent effect on
some, it accomplishes more harm than
good for society in suggesting similar
crimes to others II have found in al
most every unsuccessful attempt at sui
cide," said DIR. Gregory, "that the method,
at least, has been suggested by news

Children Shocked


George Burchard, A years old, a
wealthy farmer of Orchard Place, H.,
was instantly killed, his wife, Ureine,
80 years old, was rendered unconscious,
and their five children suffered shocks,
at noon the other day when their home,
a small two-story frame nouse. was struck
by lightning during local storm which
covered only an area of about a mile.
The storm was remarkable in that there
was but one fash of lightning. The
home was in the center of the area to
Shich the disturbance was confined. Bur
chard was sitting in chair with his
back against the wall of the dining room,
and his wife was sitting on q low stair
way leading from the d;oing room to a
summer kitchen. The children were play
ing on the floor of the dining room. The
lightning struck brick chimney and fol-
lowed along a gilded molding of the wall
against which the farmer was leaning.
The bolt knocked Burchard to the floor,
killing him instantly. Mrs. Burchard
also was thrown to the floor. but the chill
dren suffered only a slight shock, de-
spite the fact that they were sitting only
few feet from their father and mother.

Drill Through Wall Separating Them
ON Subterranean River.
There was a frightful accident early
the other morning in the Loetschberg tun-
nel in the Barnese Alps, which resulted
in the deaths of twenty-five workmen. The
men were drilling inside the tunnel.
Without warning their tools pierced the
wall that separated them from subter-
ranean river or lake, the existence of
which was not known. The wall gave
way with a crash and torrent of water
and mud rushed into the tunnel and filed
it. All of the workmen were drowned
They were Italians. Fortunately, owing
to the early hour, only comparatively few
men had entered the tunnel The disas-
ter occurred 2,400 yards from the north
ern entrance. 1t is believed that the
men tapped the Kander river, which flows
through the mountains above the tunnel.

TEXAS RANCH PASSING.
Great Tracts Rapidly Being Cut Into
Small Farms.

The land of west Texas is rapidly being
cut into small farms, and a few years
will see the end of the big ranch in this
section. Two years ago one could travel
for nile after mile in Lubbock, Hockey
and Cochran counties, without meeting
a person or seeing habitation. Those
old frontier scenes are passing away with
astonishing rapidity.
At times one still reads of a tract of
$1,000 to $4,000 acres being sold, lock,
stock and barrel, as the saying goes, with
no more flourish than a rancher would
sell a Hereford steer. But these big
deals are growing less and less, and the
end of the 50,O00-acre tract is near at
hand.
