SUBSTANCE OF PLEA IN AN Al
LEGGED BRIEF PRAYING FOX
VIEW TRIAL IN THE MISSOURI
CASES-IS UNIQUE.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Feb. a
There was a long conference at the
executive mansion between Governor
Hadlev and Elliott W. Major, the
new attorney general, tonight. to dis
cuss the unique application hled by
the Standard Oil Co. with the SUI
preme court yesterday. John kennis,
who was attorney general under Mr..
HadIey. was with them by invitation.
The document filed yesterday was
plea for mercy, but il goes into the
court records formally as brief IN
support of a motion for re-hearing
of the case. Governor Hadley mas

action belongs TO the court and that
1t is no part of the duties of the at
torney general 10 suggest more than
10 call'the attention of the court 10
the law prescribing the punishment.
Ordinarily the attorney general
would file brief in reply, but in this
case the company does not attack the
law. so the only thing that will be
done will be to notify the court that
if il takes up the question of modify
ing the decree of custer the attorney
general will ask TO he heard with sug-
gestions.
If the court is disposed to consider
the plea for a modification of the
Judgment of custer, the attorney gem
eral. or possibly the governor acting
for him, will insist upon two things:
First, that there must be a sub
stantial increase in the fine inflicted
upon the Standard Oil Co. and its
companies.
Second. there must be provision for
an effective plan of state supervision
of the business of the Standard Oil
Co. whether along the line suggested
hy the COMPANY or otherwise.

MUST Be RADICAL
AMENDMENTS
REPORT OF BUREAU OF
CORPORATIONS SAYS THAT
ADEQUATE.

WASHINGTON, ID. c. Feb. p
Herbert Knox Smith of the bureau
of corporations today submitted to
Secretary Straus, of the department
of commerce and labor, the annual
report of the operations of his bu-
reau for the year ended June 30,
1908. In all respects, it is the most
important report yet submitted by
the bureau of corporations. The
work of the bureau during the last
fiscal year was more varied than
during any similar period since the
establishment of the department of
commerce and labor. During the
year Commissioner Smith directed
Investigations of many important in
dustries and he now has on hand as
current work, inquiries into the
tobacco industry, steel industry, In
ternational Harvester company, lum-
Der industry, cotton exchanges, and
water transportation.
The most important legal work OF
the bureau in the last fiscal year was
In connection with bill for the
amendment of the Sherman law.
A large amount of work also was
done in aiding the department of
Justice in the preparation fer trial
of cases against the Standard Oil
company for alleged practice of dis
ordinations in railway rates.
Discussing the general subject of
corporate regulation and control,
Commissioner Smith says:
There is an irresistible move
ment toward concentration in bust
ness. We recognize the fact that
industrial concen, ration is already
largely accomplished in spite OF gem
eral statutory prohibition. The aim
of new legislation should be to reg
ulate, rather than to prohibit COM
bination. Ii is an obvious absurdity
TO attempt TO do both at the same
time, and prohibition has practically
failed. Our present law, forbidding
all combination, therefore needs
adaptation TO the actual facts If
We are to do anything effective with
the corporation question. We must
make an advance on our present
legislation. The practical object is
to see that business opportunity and
the highways of commerce are kept
equally open to all; to prevent fraud
special privilege and unfair COM
petition. To do this. we must recog-
nize concentration: supervise 1t; and
regulate 1t. Above all. we must have

California and eastern papers are

The withdrawal of the bill was in
consequence one excellent step that

Its place should be taken by a strin-

viding for imprisonment of offenders
whether a fine may or may not be as
sessed.

Many people have an idea that a

brings its message home. That is, 1t
always seeks its own loft and is sent
away, then liberated, and then re-
turns, or endeavors to return, to its
own particular perch, and 1t can be
found any night sitting on It's own and
proper place. This love for home and

perfection. Speed at the same time

General Public Has Vague Ideas Of
Their Appearance, capa-
hilities and Nature.

There seems to be so really little
known By the general public about
carrier pigeons, and SO many people
have such vague ideas Of their appear
ance, capabilities and nature that pos
sibly few words from one who has
bred. trained and flown these birds
and made their habits a study, might
be OF at least passing interest.
In the first place let me say that the
carrier pigeon proper, which now goes
by the general mamie of homing
pigeon, or homer. Is entirely different
from the English carrier, with its big
bunch of flesh around Its beak, and
large eye cere, and it must not be
confused with It,
The English carrier, though long
necked, powerful, almost clipper
built" bird. is simply fancy show
pigeon, and entirely incapable Of
either rapid or long-continued flight.
The homer, on the other hand. is quite
an ordinary bird and by the casual
observer might be easily taken for a
common pigeon. The head, however,
IS rounder and the carriage or posi-
ton much more sprightly and nervous.
The eye Is full and quick and sur
rounded by a small cere or ring OF
flesh, but this should be slight and not
in the least resemble the cere Of the
English carrier. The wings are strong
and full at the shoulders, and should
be carried above the tail. with the

CARE OF AUTOMATIC FEEDERS
Simple Directions for Making a PouI-
try SeIf-Feeder with Hints
for Handling.

An automatic poultry feeder to hold
charcoal, grit or anything which 1t Is
desired to keep before the fowls all
the time may be made from a cigar
box and quart milk bottle or other
bottle having an equally large mouth.
The box, which should be shallow,
has single cross-piece reaching dag
onally from one corner to another.
with an opening to fit the mouth Of
the bottle cut in the middle, about
half the depth of the cross-piece.
Stand the bottle over this and fas-
ten the bottle upright by a strong rub
Der band passed around 1t and an
upright strip of wood, and which is
also used to hang the feeder just high
enough SO the fowls can reach to feed
from 1t, but cannot scratch dirt into
it.
The box being shallow, the space
beneath the bottom is proportionately
small, SO that as fast as the food Is
picked out by the fowls more falls
down to take its place. consequently
1t is only necessary to see that the
bottle is kept full.
These devices for keeping feed or
other material always before fowls
are perhaps all right II they are not
neglected and allowed to become
clogged or foul with dirt or droppings.
Always renlenish the supply every
day or two, as In this way one can
be sure that the boxes are clean and
cleanliness Is the most important
thing In poultry work.
