SUMNER STUDY
FOR ENGINEERS
State University Offers New
Courses for Chemical, EIec-
tricaI, Hydraulic, Mechanical,
Gas and Steam Engineers

A summer course for advanced work
for chemical, electrical, hydraulic,
mechanical, and gas and steam engi-
neers will be given for the first time
this year in the college of engineering
at the University of Wisconsin.
Much of the instruction will also be
of practical value for architects and
contractors, as well as to practicing
engineer and graduate students in en-
gineering. The engineering summer
session will be held at the same time
as the regular university summer ses-
sion, beginning June 20 and continu-
ing for six weeks, until July 81. Fif-
teen members of the regular faculty
of the college of engineering, and in
addition Professor John j. Wilmore
OF the Alabama Polytechnic Insti-
tute, will offer courses of instruction
in various departments. Special work
will be given in machine design, me-
chanical drawing, mechanics, the test
ing of materials, and shop work. The
testing laboratories will be opened to
students, and every assistance
will be given to practicipg engi-
neers, instructors in technical schools,
and advanced undergraduates desir-
ing to conduct special investigations.

MYSTERIOUS
DISAPPEARANCE
Group Picture of MiIIers Brings
Anxious Injuries

''Mysterious Disappearance" is a
headline that has become familiar as
an almost daily feature of the news
paper. The stories come from cities,
villages and hamlets of somebody's
dropping out of his home and haunts,
leaving no clew. The total of the
years army of mysteriously disap-
peared is amaZing-and no estimate
can be made of those who are never
again heard Of by friends or relatives.
A pathetic indication of the numb
er thus lost is occasionally afforded in
an unexpected way. One such indica-
tion is to be found today in a special
file of letters at the offices of Wash
burn-Crosby Co. in Minneapolis,
MINI. A full page group picture of
the big force of millers employed in
making Gold Medal Flour was recently
widely published. The picture shows
hundreds of intelligent faces under
clean white caps-and is striking as
an illustration of the representative
type of American workingman.
A day or two after the picture ap
peared, a letter came to the company
from a heart broken mother who
thought she had recognized her son

1t is my opinion that large corporate

had disappeared two years before, and
that the likeness was so close she was
almost certain it was he With the
name she enclosed the picture cut out
from the group and besought the CON-
pany to write whether or not he was
her son. 1t was another disappoint-
ment that the mail bore back to her.

as that of a well known yourg miller
of another name and home.
But here wao the remarkable thing.
Letter after letter followed, the moth
ers from all parts of the United States
asking about this and that one in the
group, whom the writer's were sure
they recognized. 1t was evident that
that group of men-now familiar
everywhere as the millers that never
touch the flour with their handS-had
been studied with absorbing interest.
Happily all present in the picture
are easily accounted for-many having
been in the mills for years, and all be-
ing men with the love of home, friends
and settled interests that marks the
highest class of workmeD
But back of the inquiries lies stor-
les OF hope and heartbreak, that would
make book full of human interest.

COURT RULES ON
IMPORTANT POINT
PETITION is GRANTED ALLOWING
INTERVENTION IN CASE OF
GREAT NORTHERN RAILROAD
INVOLVING THE ELKiNS LAW.

Washington, January Con behalf Of
the STANDARD Oil company Attorney D.
f. McKenna, of this city, today filed a
petition which was later granted in the
supreme court of the United States for
leave to intervene in the case of the
Great Northern railroad involving the FL
lxns law imposing fines for granting or
accepting rebates which it is contended
was repeated by the Hepburn railroad
rate law of the last Congress.
The same question is involved in the
case in which Judge Lands imposed
fine of over s2s,OOo.ooO on the oil COM
pany and consequently the decision in
the Great Northern case will have direct
bearing on the Standard Oil company's
case.
The Great Northern company was in
dicted November 8, 1906, for giving re-
bates. Besides objecting to the suffici-
ency of the Indictment on a technical
ground the company contends that the
original provisions of the Elkins law I'M
der which it was indicted was repealed
by the Hepburn act. A brief will be
filed in the case on behalf of the Stand
ard. Attorney General Bonaparte made
no objection but said the government
did not coneede that the two cases are
parallel.

TRIAL is RESUMED.
Witnesses Go On Stand In American
Tobacco Investigation.

New York, January 1.-THE hearing of
the government against the American To-
baceo company for alleged restraint of
trade was resumed today before United
States Commissioner Shields.
John Conley of the Conley Tin Foil
company was called at the first witness
and was examined by J. C. Maceyholds
for the government. Mr. Conley said
prices for tin foil had been higher for
the past few years than in 1899 due he
said to the higher prices OF pig lead and
tin, but the recent slump in the metal
market, the witness thought, would de-
crease the price for a time at least.
Karl Jungluth, president of the Mac
Andrews and Forbes company, a subsidf-
airy concern of the American Tobacco
company and the principal licorice paste
manufacturer of sthe country was next
called. Mr. Jungluth told of his indict-
ment and aequittal for an alleged viola
ton of the Elkins act in restraint of
trade last year.

extremely amusing. In this little act ha
takes two parts first that of a tramp
and the latter as a Hebrew. His change
from the tramp to the part of the He
brew, coupled with the relation of his ex-
periences of a visit of six months to
Pratt mines kept the house in an uproar.
The first act is entitled "Who Stole My
Wife" which shows Robinson in a Dutch
character as Fritz Salmer, the owner, not
the proprietor, of a hotel. Fritz gets in
many funny situations, which keeps him
in hot water all the time. In the last
act he takes the part of a rich Hebrew
on his wedding day, the name of the play
being Solomon, the Soldier
In this act an army appears, which
would create laugh in any place. Rob-
inson takes the part of Solomon, who is
conscripted as a general. Solomon gets
into game of chance which for quick
ness of action and losing of money set n
new pace for Birmingham. A lively
bunch of chorus girls and principals kept
things humming.
The olio consists of several neat little
acts Mildred Flora, James Falco, Ed
Nanny, Jennie Falco, George Edwards,
Lal Lawrence, Emma Peyser Charles
Robinson, Peyser and Mcdonald and
Edith Melrose taking part.

At the Rliou.

"a Message From Mars the famous
play which was presented for the OPEN
ing performance of an engagement of
one week at the Bijou theatre last night
is a study of profound egotism. It
teaches a moral lesson of great power
and is yet so unique in conception and
SO imaginative in treatment that it does
not appear didactic. 1t is essentially an
English play, and the principal character
is one of those English cads, consumed
with selfshness and absolutely blind to
his faults. with whom we have become
more or less familiar. Perhaps Horace
Parker is an exaggeration, but this ex-
aggeration is made all the more neces-
sary in order to intensity the change
that comes over him after he has been
taught the error of his ways by a mes
senger from Mars. This figure is wan
dering spirit condemned to exile from his
own planet to expiate a sin of a selfish
nature, whose return home is bought by
the conversion of Parker. The story is
one cast in channels in many respects
different from anything before attempted
and 1t is juxtapostion of fancy and
realism, wrought with striking results.
The principal people of the play, in
addition to Horace Parker, are his fiance,
Minnie Templer, whom he treats with
shameful lack of consideration until his
eyes are opened: his aunt Martha
tramp and the messenger from Mars.
Wallace Widdecomb, himself an English
man, takes the part of Horace Parker
with considerable aptitude, and he makes
It interesting. Miss Eileen Enrol as Min
ME Templer is very good, indeed, being
the pessessor of winning personality
and ability in a dramatic way. Walter
III. Cluxton as the messenger from Mars,
is very effective and at times impress
sive, while Miss Nellie Blanchard as
Aunt Martha and Alfred Beaumont as
the tramp are both good. The company
as a whole is quite evenly balanced and
the performance is well worth seeing.
The scenery and appointments are in
every way satisfactory and the inuo-
