miner, relating the story of his escape
from the burning mine, said:
Running to the air shaft / saw it
was filled with smoke. From the air
shaft two galleries extend in oppo-
site directions. They are circular,
and meet again at the main shaft.
Either one, | thought would take me

PROF. GL EASON
DEAD AT Ell PAS0
FAMED AS HORSE tanner AND
NATIVE OF WIS
CONSIN.

Word has been received of the
death in Ell Paso, Tex, of W. H. Glea-
son, formerly of Mineral Point, known
all over the country as Professor
Gleason, the horse tanner" He often
exhibited in Madison, and all local
horsemen knew him and admired his
skill
few years ago Professor Gleason
was known throughout the country
for his success in subduing the wild
est horses, animals that resisted the
efforts of every one else and were re-
garded as unbreakable. He never
used any mechanical continuance to
assist him. His success was gener-
ally credited to his magnetic manner.
He would enter the stall of some fiery
animal and in a short time the horse
would be entirely subdued. He was
amazingly, laughingly cool even while
driving the widest sort of horse.
Professor Gleason was about so
years of age. He went to Texas
seven years ago. His father, Thomas
Gleason. lived in Darlington and was
an auctioneer.

NEW TRIAL FOR
COAL COMPANY

st. Paul, Nov. 20.-Judge SanbOrn
of the federal court of appeals yester-
day ordered a new trial of the gov
ernment's case against the Union Pa
cifc Coal company. the Union Pacific
railway, the Oregon Short Line rail-
way, J. NJ. Moore and Everett Buck
ingham- charging them with formins
an unlawful combination.
The complainant. a Salt Lake coai
dealer, charged that the coal company
refused to sell him coal, and the rail
ways refused to haul him coal be
cause he sold lower than his com
petitors, Judge Sanborn holds there
was no substantial evidence of any
such combination.
The lower cougt found the defend
ants guilty of a violation of the Sher-
man law and imposed a fine of 81 600
and costs on Moore and $4,000 and
costs on the her defendants

self
Some of the naval officers who at
first favored the selection of Subig
bay as great sea base have recently
experienced a change of mind, and
are willing to admit it.
Batteries for Pearl Harbor.
The announcement just made by
Secretary of the Navy Meyer that
Pearl harbor, four miles westward OF
Honolulu, is to be made the great
American naval base Of the Pacific
means that the Subig bay plan has
been doubly killed. Pearl harbor
can be fortified readily, and in fact
the work of making it practically i'm
pregnable is already in progress.
AS in the case of Corregidor, the
details of Pearl harbor have not be-
fore been given publicity. The place
in its natural aptitude for defene Is
nearly as strong as the big rock at
the mouth of Manila bay.
In addition to the fertilization OF
Pearl harbor powerful batteries are
to be erected on what is known as
Diamond Head, where from the crater
of an extinct volcano great guns will
sweep the sea, defending Honolulu on
the one side and adding materially
on the other to the security of the
great naval base at Pearl harbor, six
miles distant"
The proper defense of our posses
sion in the Pacific ocean has been for
a long time a subject of study and
discussion in both branches of the
war service The whole problem now
seems to have been worked out in adj
vance of the actual test of hostilit1es.
Of course foreign nations, through
their military attaches, know where
the American Notifications are being
erected, and they know in a general
way how strong they are to be.
Last year the American war col
leges Of army and navy worked out to
conclusion the problem of a war
with certain foreign power. 1t is
probable that during the coming
year the war colleges of the coun-
tries of Europe and of one country in
the far east will decide by means of a
war game how to overcome the
Philippines and Hawaii despite our
Corregidor and Diamond Head and
Pearl harbor defenses.

failure of Zelaya to make a renewed

HEAVY COTTON EXPORT.
All Records Are Broken, According to
Latest Bulletin.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 20.-The
total value of cotton exports from the
United States for the month of Octo-
Der, 1909, as shown by a bulletin is
sued yesterday by the department of
commerce and labor, reached the
enormous sum of $S8,SS3,350. In
no month previously have such ex-
ports ever reached the $S0,000,000
mark. For the 10 months of the pres
ent year ending with October these
exports reached a grand total of $685.
526,SS5, against $316,693,265 in the cor
responding period of 1907, the highest
record ever attained for a like period.
Il the present ratio is maintained for
November and December, all previous
records will be broken and the $780,
100000 line will be crossed Large
production and high prices are respon-
sible for this showing.

the reasonableness and Justice OF
such rate to be subject to the other
provisions of the act in like manner
as any other filed and published
rate; the agreement, however, not to
amount to a contract to MAINTAIN the
rate for any given time, but each
party to have the right, indepenG entity
of the other, at any time, to withdraw
from or alter such rate in conformity
with the other provisions of the stat
ute. The purpose of this provlso is
to protect the carriers from the penal
ties of making an agreement to re-
strain trade in violation of the Sher-
man act.
by specifically empowering the
commission to prescribe rules and
regulations under which shippers
shall have the privilege of designat-
ing the route over which their ship
ments shall be carried to destination
"By providing that an agent of a
railroad company shall be compelled,
on written request, to state in writ
ing the legal rate over the line of the
carrier, including any joint rate to
which such carrier is a party, and inn
posing fine as penalty for stating
an erroneous rate in pursuance of
such request.
"By providing that after the passage
of the amending act, no railroad COM
pany shall acquire stock in any com
peting railroad company; and, posi-
bly,, that from and after some rate to
be fixed in the act, no railroad com
pany engaged in interstate commerce
shall hold stock in a competing rail-
road.
by providing that after the pas
sage of the amending act, no railroad
company engaged in interstate com.
merce shall issue any additional stock
or bonds or other obligation, 1other
than notes maturing not more than
twelve months from date of issue) ex-
cept with the approval of the commits
sion, based upon a finding that the
same are issued for purposes author
lied by law, and for price not less
than paid for stock, and not less than
the reasonable market value fol
bonds, such price being paid either in
cash or in property, or services, and
if in property or services, then at
the fair value thereof as determined
or approved by the commission.
These notifications in the act
would, it is believed, make it a COM
plete and effective measure for secur-
ing reasonableness of rates to all,
and fairness of practices in the oper-
alton of interstate railroad lines, with
out undue preference to any individ-
ual or class over any other"
Mr. Wickersham, in speaking OF the
Sherman antitrust law, said that no
law on the statute books is so gener-
ally misunderstood. It's provisions,
he said, are so comprehensive and I'M
qualified that a literal strained inter
probation has become commonly ac-
copied not only among laymen, but
even among lawyers.
