Smoked In Church.

The early settlers of the Plymouth
colony were greatly addicted to smok-
ing, which at one time became so
common that many persons smoked in
church during service. The custom
soon caused considerable annoyance,
as the exercises were greatly disturb
ed by the clicking of flints and steel to
light their pipes and clouds of smoke
In the church" A law was passed in
1869 to remedy this evil and prohibited
persons from smoking on the Lords
day going to or coming from the
meetings within two miles of the meet
ing house." The penalty was Il pence
for every offense Under this law sew
eral persons were fined for smoking
tobacco at the end of the Yarmouth
meeting house on the Lords day."

I'VE deem it unjust that the traffic
managers should have arranged these
rates without consulting shippers and
at period most inOpportune. We have
canvassed the railroad situation thor
oughly. and from the cost of fuel to the
statement OF earnings, there is no ap-
parent valid reason for such an in
crease in rates at this time
A formal statement of the reason for
its action, issued by the executive COM
mittee today, says:
THE business men of the state pro-
pose to invoke every force at their COM
mand to resist these projected in
creases of freight rates. and, invoking
these forces, they have the unstinted
cooperation of the individual customer,
who, the railroad officers themselves
have admitted, must pay this SIC, 00O, 900
tax. They have the inclination, the or
ganizatiOn and the money TO fight this
case on any ground, under any aus
pices, in the courts or before the inter

HILL WILL REACH THF GULF
Colorado & Southern Railway Has
Been Sold to Chicago, Bur-
hngton & Quincy.

New York. Dec. 19.-Leading interests
in the Colorado s& Southern Railway
company. including Edwin Harley. who
is said to be the largest individual
stakeholder, and Frank Trumbull, the
president of the road, announced today
the sale of the road to the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy Railroad COM
pany. Information as to the price and
other details of the transaction how
ever, are withheld until the meeting
next Tuesday, when the board of direc-
tors of the Colorado & Southern will
hold a meeting for the purpose of COM
plotting the transfer of the property.
The acquisition of the road by the
Burlington gives the Hill system, the
Burlington being owned by the North
ern Pacific and the Great Northern
Railroad companies. its long-desired
outlet to the coast of Texas. 1t will
bear practically the same relationship
to the Hill lines in the Gulf of Mexico
territory that the Illinois Central bears
to the Hartman system. Until today's
announcement, however, il was general
ly supposed that James ]. Hills plan to
get to the gulf was by the purchase of
the Missouri. Kansas & Texas railroad.

Surprise on International
Harvester Company.

Jefferson City, Mo-. Dec. 19.-Attorney
General Hadley of Missouri announced
today that he had notified the attor-
neys for the International . Harvester
company of America that the state will
hear no further testimony in the custer
suit which the attorney general is pros
ecuting against the concern on the
ground that it exists in violation of the
antitrust laws of Missouri.
The case for the state viii thus rest
upon the evidence of officials of the de-
PENDANT company solely. no other wit
nesses having been called by the prose-
cution- If the defendant interests
wishes to offer testimony il will be
placed in the position of attacking the
statements of its own officials
1t is considered likely, therefore, that
the case viii be decided by arguments
on the legal proposition as 20 whether
the defendant company, which is an
agent for the International Harvester
company of New Jersey, can be held re-
sponsible as principal for any posi-
bic violation of the Missouri statute
