A SINGULAR EGG TRICK.

With a large decanter and a hard
boiled egg a novel trick can be per-
formed. The d~ecanter, however,
must be quite dry, and the egg must
be shelled. First drop into the de-
canteE a piece of lighted paper and
as the fame dies out put one end of
the egg into the neck of the decan-
ter after the manner of a stopper.
In a few minutes the air will cool
in the decanter and contract in vol
ume, when the superior pressure of
the atmosphere will force the egg
through the neck down into the de-
canter without breaking.

Portland, Or, Jan. 26.-In the Hail.
Mays conspiracy case yesterday Fran
lis J. Heney, the prosecutor, endeav-
bred, through Former State Senator
w. w. Steiwer. to connect United

John H. Hall on behalf of Senator
Steiwer and exacted a promise from
Hall that civil proceedings would be
brought against the Butte Greek Live

ern Oregon instead of a criminal &C.
lion against the individual members

The prosecution contends that Full

Government Begins the Long
Threatened Legal Attack on
Hartman System.
WRIST CONTROL FROM The up.
ThrOttling of Competition in West Is
Charged-kellOgg and Sever.
ance in Charge.

Washington, Jan. 2S - What prom
ises to be the governments greatest
contest in it's struggle for regulation
of interstate railroads was begun here
Saturday when the preliminaries were
completed for the long~-threatened le-
gal attack upon the Hartman system.
In it's scope the suit is the greatest
eve undertaken by the government
against a combination Of railroads
and financiers, and the defendants in
clude not only all Of the so-called Har-
riman roads and the New York tinan-
ciers who have bee instrumental in
their development and manipulation,
but concerns also the Northern Pa
cific, Great Northern and Burlington,
as being more or less under Hartman
control.
According to the statement of the
attorney general the whole network Of
Western railroads are regarded as vir-
tually one system.
File Bill in Equity.
A bill in equity will be filed to set
aside the control by the Union Pacific
Railroad company and its subsidiary
corporations of the Southern Pacific
and the San Pedro, Los Angeles 4
Salt Lake railroad; also to have de-
clared illegal the ownership by the
Union Pacific or the Oregon Short
Line of stock in the Santa Fe, the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific,
all of said lines being competitors of
the Union Pacific.
Frank B. kellogg and G. A. Sever
ance of st. Paul will prosecute the
case for the government.
Big Financiers included.
The proposed action not only strikes
at the Hartman system in the West
but will attempt to dethrone the
| great %fnanciers and capitalists of the
East closely identified with Hartman
in control of his railroad m%anipula-
tions. for the attorney general an
nounces that, in addition to the rail
roads mentioned, the following noted
individuals will be made defendants:
E. H. Hartman, Jacob K. Schiff
Otto H. Kahn, James Stillman, Henry
C. Frick, Henry H. Rogers and Will
=, liam A. Clark.
Calls It Direct Violation.
The decision of the government is
based upon Investigation conducted by
the interstate commerce commission
into the operation of the transconti-
mental systems and from independent
Investigation by the department.
From the evidence a%dduced," the
attorney general states, the depart
ment has arrived at the conclusion
that stockholding of the Union Pacific
and its subsidiary company in the
other corporations mentioned is in di'
rect violation of the Sherman act"

SHIPS BATTERED BY STORM.
Tales Of Shipwreck and Loss Of Life
Are Echoes Of Recent Storm.

Tales Of Shipwreck and Loss Of Life
Are Echoes Of Recent Storm.
New York, Jan. 2S.-Tales Of ship
wreck at sea and possible loss of life
are the echoes of the recent severe
storm that were brought to port yes
terday by belated and tempest-tossed
steamships.
Fear that an unknown three-masted
schooner, with her crew, has been
lost in the storm off the Delaware
capes is expressed by officers of the
into harbor yesterday from Baltimore.
The schooner was seen struggling in
the trough of the sea off the Della
ware capes, and when the Mamma
Hata neared the locality where the
schooner was last sighted many pieces
of a wrecked vessel and quantities of
railroad ties we're cen floating in the
water.
The italian steamer San Giovanni
reached here yesterday with Capt. n.
V. Morse and the crew of five of the
oil barge Malanzas, which, with two
other barges, the Fall River and the
Grafton, in tow of the tug Concord,
from Philadelphia, for Boston, broke
adrift during the storm and for hours
was at the mercy of the waves, which
wrenched off the rudder and opened
her. seams. The Matar1as was filling
rapidly when the Italian merchantmen
hove in sight and rescued Capt. Morse
and his crew.
A wireless dispatch received here
last night from the steamship Maure-
tania, which left here Saturday, states
that the barge Fall River was sighted
yesterday, and that Capt. Taylor of
the Fall River and his crew were pick
ed up and taken to Liverpool.
The tug Concord and the barge
Grafton have not been heard from.

MAY DISCHARGE UNION WORKER

charge Man Because of Uni8n
Affiliations.

Washington. Jan. 29.-The constitu-
%tionality of the act of congress Of
June |, 1898, prohibiting railroad CON
panies engaged III interstate COM
merce from discriminating against
members OF labor organizations in the
matter of employment, was called
into question by the case of Williana
Adair VS.. The United States, which
was decided by the supreme court or
the United States yesterday favor-
able to Adair. The opinion was BY
Justice Harlan and held the Law to be
renusnant to the constitution.
Has Right to Fire Man.
The court held that Adair, as mas.
ter mechanic of the Louisville a.
Nashville Railroad company, had a
right to discharge an employee because
he was a member of a labor %organiZa-
ton, just as it was the employees
right 10 quit such employment be-
cause Of his membership in such Or
ganizatiOn. Such a course the deci-
sion added. might be unwise, but re-
garded as Il mere matter of right
there could be no doubt. Congress
could not under the constitution au
a violation of contracts under
sc of protecting Interstate com
merce.
Justice Mckenna delivered a dis
senting opinion favorable to the law
in which he said the courts decision
proceeds along very narrow lines.
Lower Court O~verruled.
The case came up t. the supreme
court on a writ of error from the
United States district court for the
Eastern district Of Kentucky, where
Adair had been fined 500 for threat
ening to discharge from the employ
of the company q locomotive engineer
named COppage because the latter
was a member Of a labor union.
In his decision Justice Harlan held
it was Adair's right to serve his en-
Dloyer as est he could, SO long as
he dill nothing forbidden by law a.
contrary to public welfare.
Justice Holmes also expressed the
opinion that the law should be con
strued as constitutional. He thought
that the right to make contracts had
been stretched to the limit by the
courts decision in this case. That
congress had a right to so legislate a.
70 encourage labor organizations was
another suggestion of Justice Holmes

moralized throughout the day. Trains
on the railroads from outlying New
Jersey and Long Island towns were

under water. Bulkheads and pavil.
ions were washed away. Nine steam.
ships due here yesterday were still
lnreported at Sandy Hook last night.
