LETS UP on THE COAL ROADS
Tnl Supreme Court Decides n They Must
Give UN Their Mines.

WV ~ ANDaA NHAhsNas
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1.-THE Federal Ad-
ministration intends to be lenient in the
enforcement Of the section Of the Hepburn
railway rate law which prohibits railroads
from transporting from State 70 State
products other than lumber produced
by them. This section Of the law will
become effective on May 1 next and applies
particularly TO the anthracite coal roads
Of Pennsylvania. The coal roads have
represented that in order to comply with
the Law they would be obliged to sell q
part Of their property at a sacrifice. They
have been advised by their counsel that
this section of the law is unexoeptional.
Attorney General Bonaparte announced
to-day that there would be no prosecutions
until the matter is determined by the Su-
prsine Court Of the United States in
friendly suit. His statement is as follows:
What Is generally known as the com
modities clause Of the Hepburn bill. approved
June 20, l0Oo reads as follows
From and after May L. 1908. IL shall be
unlawful for any railroad to transport from
any state. Territory or the District Of Colum-
bia to any other State. Territory or the
District OF Columbia. or to any foreign
country, any ArCiole or commodity, other
than timber and the manufactured products
thereof. manufactured. mined or produced
by it, or under It's authority. or which Il may
own in whole or in part. or in which Il may
have any interest. direct OC indirect, except
such articles or commodities a. may be
necessAry or intended for it's use In the con-
duct OF it's business a common carrier"
II IL clear that this clause II valid will make
Il impossible for many railroads which own
coal mines TO transport the coal TO market
after the date named. and Il is understood
that some Of these railroads have been ad-
vised bv their respective counsel that the
above quoted provision OF law is unexcepS
tiOnal. The Department OF Justice contem-
plates the institution OF DroceednsA. a. soon
a. possible after the date named. whereby q
prompt determination OF this question by
Me Supreme Court OF the United states may
be obtained. It 10 expected that the railroads
concerned will cooperate with the Govern
msnt to this end and lf they do 20 in good
faith and they In good faith and immedi-
ately obey the decision Of the Supreme Court
when rendered II s not the purpose OF the
Department. Of Justice to prosecute them for
q failure to comply with the terms OF the
act pending the decision OF the Supreme
Court.

POLICE TO WORK ALI SUMNER

Police Commissioner Bingham yesterday
sent out general orders that patrolmen
take no vacations between June 1 and

three months the greatest tax II put upon
the police force even when it is Of normal
proportions. The need of extra men to
patrol the summer resorts like Coney Island
and ROckaway and the migration from

clude that every policeman he can get is

SHOT HIMSELF ACCIDENTALLY.

Another hunting season fatality oe-
CURED in the woods southwest of the
city Thursday afternoon, when John
Hett, young mar residing at $40 S.
Third Ave, died of gunshot wound.
That morning he, in company with
Arthur Eisenmann, young man of
about his own age, went into that Sec
ton lying between Rib river and the
hill for the purpose of hunting small
game. AT dinner time they sat down
on a log to eat lunch and when they
had concluded the same, young Eisen-
mann left his companion for a time
with the intention of going down a
road and then working back towards
Mr.. Hett. He was gone for perhaps
half an hour, and as he neared the
place where he left his partner he heard
shoe and cry of pain. He hastened
TO the place where he heard the shot
and found Mr.. Hett lying on the ground,
blood flowing from his left breast
Young Eisenmann ran to a saloon just
east of the Rib river bridge, where he
summoned physician by telephone.
When the latter arrived young Hett
was beyond any earthly aid and died
within an hour from the time he was
shot.
The accident is supposed to have re-
suited from carelesness in handling his
gun, as the position of the weapon
when found indicated. IL was lying
across two logs. the muzzle pointed
toward him, and the supposition is that
when he heard young Eisenmann COM
ing toward him, he intended picking
up his gun, expecting the latter might
drive some game toward him. In
picking up the gun the hammer pre-
sumably struck the log, exploding the

breast up well towards the shoulder,

IMPORTANT PURCHASE.

Directors of the local Y. M. G. A
have purchased for the association the
two lots adjoining the Y. M. G. A prop
erty on the north. The lots were owned
by Walter Alexander who gave the as
sociation an option some time ago. At
the time the new building was erected
the sand removed in digging the base
ment was hauled onto the two lots
by permission of the owner, and the
lots would have been purchased at that
I time but for lack of funds. Since then
campaign for additional money has
been going on and sum sufficient to
purchase the site $4,000 was raised
The sand will be used in filing up the
lots which are somewhat low Oh the
west end. A top dressing will be put
on and the ground seeded.
BY the acquisition of the property the
Y. NJ. c. A. has, with its former posses
sions, one of the best properties of any
association n the state. IL will be
possible to conduct outdoor sports,
without resorting to the use of the high
school or other grounds, as has been
done heretofore. The association now
owns full half block fronting Third
street, one of the most valuable sites in
town.

NOVEM Der NONSENSE.

November from the Latin novem,
nine) was at one time the ninth month
in the calendar. History records the
fact that about the year 700 b. G..
Numa decided that the trusts had left
the people so little to be thankful for
after nine months of toll, that he made
November the eleventh month, so they
might wait and see what the Roman
elections would bring them. He also
invented foot ball asthe game for that
month and by decree put price on
turkeys heads the latter part of the
month. 1t was from Numa that the
celery raisers of Kalamazoo and the
cranberry growers of Wood county got
their cue and started in business. Up
to the 25th the month is under the zodi-
acal sign of Scorpio the crab; after that,
under the sign of Sagitarius, the archer.
People born in the first installment
of the month are liable to be Grabbed
and walk backward when they come
face TO face with an old maid People
born in the latter part of the month are
more than apt to be given to shooting
darts of alleged satire at their neighbors.
Tonight Nov. p the trusts will hold
an all night prayer meeting. Tomorrow
the election will be held Mr. Taft will
cast his vote for Mr.. Bryan at Cincin-
natl. Mr. Bryan will return the COM
pliment at Lincoln Mr. Hearst will
vote for himself at New York. Mr..
Rockefeller will receive the news at
Cleveland. On the 7th the Wausau
man who has bet on the unlucky
candidate will wheel another enthusiast
up Third street in wheelbarrow.
They will be followed by 100 boys and

On the Sth the moon will be fuller'n

About the 10Th, President Roosevelt
will issue proclamation which will
result in raising the price of turkey l0c
per pound and urge us to give thanks
that the Standard Oil Co. does not own

included. There will be great feasting

close of the 30th there viii be total
eclipse of the month.

time during the month, subscriptions
