SEA LEVEL TO
HAVE HEARING

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 2.-If the op-
ponents Of the lock level plan for the
Panama canal can convince the COM
mission Of eminent engineers now on
the isthmus with Taft that their con-
tentfons are we'll founded, Roosevelt
will take action looking to the adop-
ton Of the sea level plan before he
retires from office, according to a state
ment made today at the Office of James
Schuyler, a member of the commits
sion. The statement says:
1.-THE presidents purpose in sending
the new commission on the isthmus
is simply to secure at last a disinter-
ested judgment of the work he has
directed. 1t is possible that the COM
mission will decide that the sea level
type is preferable. The president has
not the slightest idea that such an
opinion will be formed by the special
board of experts, but if it should he
wants it known so he can act upon it
before the end of his term. The most
careful soundings have been made,
followed by the denial that a great
subterranean lake underlies the dam
site"

WHITMAN COLLEGE
FINDS NO ORATOR

Owing to the fact that there is but
little interest in oratory at Whitman
college this year, the local institution
will not be represented in the annual
oratorical contest with the Washing
ton State college and the Oregon
Agricultural college. Whitman's de-
bate council has authorized this an
nouncement; but states that next year
the contestant will be entered as be-
FORE
Taking advantage of the extra time
allowed by the dropping out this year
the oratorical contest among the stu
dents of the school, which is held fol-
the purpose Of picking an arotor to
represent the college, will be held in
June, instead of in the middle of the
year, as has been lately done. This
used to be the custom several years
ago, and by so doing, the orator had the
entire summer in which to brush uI
his grafton. A substantial prize is
also to be offered for the local contest
in the hope of inducing more contest
ants to enter. Whitman has not been
successful in winning an oratorical con
test in seven years, but an effort will
be made to pull down the one next
year.

Catholic PreIate Says Court Of Appeals

TRENTON, N. j., Feb. 2.-In de-

to protest against the sentences i'm
posed upon Samuel GOmpers, John
Mitchell and Frank Morrison Of the
American Federation of Labor, for
contempt of court, Bishop James A.

"These sentenced gentlemen have
the sympathy of every true friend OF

case. The court Of appeals must first
render it's decision. We shall then
know what the law is. If the law is as
interpreted by the court, then it has
performed a duty and it's action is be-
yond criticism. If the law is at fault,
then it should be repealed. Americans
have in their power the repeal of any
law by the ballot. The difficulty is
that we do not live up to our motto In

PREPARING DEFENSE
OF THE RAILROADS

PITTSBURG, Pa, Feb. 2.-Represen-
tatives of eight railways operating IN
the coal mining districts of Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio and West Virginia will
meet at the Hotel Schenley tomorrow
for a conference, supposedly to plan
a defense against the charges of
Pennsylvania coal operators that the
roads own mines in West Virginia and
Ohio and discriminate in rates against
the Pennsylvania operators.
Some time since meeting was
called by the railroads to discuss adj
vancing Of lake rates. This was to
have been held on Jan. IL, but in the
meantime the operators became active.
Not only must rates not be raised, but
there musAbe some sort of concessions
made to the western Pennsylvania
operators by the roads even on the
existing rate basis, they claim. The
Pennsylvania Railroad alone at that
time was not in favor of advancing
rates. Railroads called this meeting
off when they heard how angry the
operators were, and the meeting now
arranged is one of defense.
IHo pTOpOSdi u Tie OpCA dIOio 10
that there be an adjustment of rates
particularly between the Pennsylvania
and the West Virginia fields. AS it is
now, the Pennsylvania and West Vir-
ginia rates are the same, though the
haul from West Virginia to the lakes
is about twice that from the Pittsburg
district to the lakes. Yet the rate sre-
mains the same-SS cents a ton on
board cars or 81 cents ton if loaded
on the lake boats.
From Ohio points, the rate is 83
cents loaded at the lakes. In addi-
ton to the haul being twice as long it
has been shown the railroads that
they are required to haul the cars
back to West Virginia empty since
there are few or no factories there to
use ore from the lakes, while train
of coal going from the Pittsburg dis
trict comes back with ores or an
other material for the Pittsburg manu-
featuring district This they assert
is discrimination.
For months now Pittsburg coal op-
orators have been gathering data re-
garding the ownership of several large
mines in West Virginia and Ohio and
they claim they can prove that these
mines really are owned by certain rail-
roads. They declare they will prove it
unless the roads cease discriminating
against them.

Not So Bad.

when one stops to reflect on the flu
tility of human achievements" laughed
Miss Annie Russell, in 1.-THE Stronger
Sex, ut reminds me of an eulogy
recently heard, that went like this.
'Tenderly she laid the silent white
form beside those that had gone be-
fore. She made no outary, she did not
weep. Such a moment was too precious
to be spent in idle tears. But soon
there came a time when it seemed as
if nature must give way. She lifted her
voice and cried loud and long. Her
cries were taken up by others who
were with her and it echoed and re-
echoed over the grounds. Then sud-
denly all was still. What was the use
of it all. She would lay another egg
tomorrow"
