NEW ENGLAND WATERPOWERS.

A water right of any size is about the
best property in potential value that a
man can hold. Fortunately, New Eng
land is fairly stuffed with these, not only
privileges which are unused or only
partly developed, but with actual virgin
opportunities as yet unsupported. Along
the headwaters of the Penobscot, the
kennebec, the Androscoggin, and the
Saco almost every year some great new
dam goes in, huge pulp plant follows,
and whole new town goes up as a nat
ural result, in what had been hunter
paradise. There are still such opportun-
tiles, though of course the day is rapidly
approaching on which the last big one
will have been snapped up. Just north
of the Massachusetts line on the Con-
necticut the gates have just been closed
on great new dam that holds up the
whole river and sends power spinning
along the wires to cities scores of miles
distant. And so the work of acquiring
the larger opportunities goes rapidly on.
New England's smaller rivers, even
her thousands of tiny streams, have al
ways been made to work for living,
and it seems to be general belief that
they do all they can. Water rights,
even on the least streams, have been
jealousy guarded and fought for till the
records of the supreme court are stuffed
with final decisions which secure them
to one man or another for all time. 1t
may be that water runs to waste in some
of the small streams for lack Of use, but
water rights are working to their full
capacity. Yet, so prone is man to take
things for granted without investigation,
even the smallest, hardest working
streams that seem lined with mill privi-
leges have. under this new dispensation
of turbines and electrical transmission,
golden nuggets of opportunity waiting
the wise. From "New England's Water

VALUE 0F PROPERTY
 CUTS SOME FIGURE IN SOLICITING SUBSCRIPTIONS
 FOR STOCK. A Ruling Yesterday in Trial of the 1.-TWO Queens" Promoters.

Kansas City, May 11.-In the trial in the federal court here of Horn Broth CTS, Raymond P May and s. H. Sni- der. charged with using the mails to defraud in promoting the Two Queens group of mines in Arizona, James B. Lynch. of Philadelphia, produced let ters, circulars and newspapers sent to him by the promoters. They stated that the mine was in operation and that ore was being shipped in paying quantities. Lynch said he bought HOO shares of stock on representations made in the advertising matter.
 J. H. Deaner, of Saginaw, Mich, tes- tified that he bought stock on the in- stallment plan, paying two dollars a month.
 When District Attorney Van Val kenbergh offered as evidence a printed circular describing the mining proper ty. counsel for the promoter objected Tt is the value of the stock that Is be- ing questioned, and not the value of the property" he declared. "The pur- chasers were solicited to buy stock; not to buy the mine.'
 Your distinctions are too refined" Judge Philips replied, in overruling the objection. T have always understood that a stockhOlder of a corporation had some interest in the property of the company. The value of the prop erty is the inducement"

PACIFY|NG INFLUENCE OF HARTMAN MERGER HARMONY PREVAILED IN THE
 WEST. As Witnesses at San Francisco Testi-
 fled Yesterday.

San Francisco. May 11.-A number of witnesses were questioned today by c. s. Severance, special assistant dis trict attorney general before Exam iner Williams, in an attempt to show that all competition between the west ern railroads practically ceased after Hartman secured control of the Southern Pacific, the oregon Railway and Navigation company and the Ore gon Short Line. in connection with the Union Pacific
 The testimony of interest was pre- sented by A. L. Scott. president of the Pacific Hardware and Steel company. He stated that his company formerly shipped to southern Idaho via ogden. but that after the combine, the tariff by that route was cancelled and a tariff via Portland substituted. includ- ing a sea and rail shipment. Since that all shipments have gone that way.
 Before the combine was effected the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific were rival bidders for his company's westbound freight, but afterwards the business was virtually all given to the Southern Pacific. The Union Pacific in recent years had made no effort to oftain this trade, said the witness, who incidentally told of the increase of rates since opposition had ceased.

EMPLOYERS LIABILITY LAW
 ID BE GIVEN A TEST
Counsel For the Great Northern Be-
 lieve it Unconstitutional.

Spokane, Wash, May 11.-Counsel for the Great Northern Railway com pany have served notice that it will test the employers liability law. It is contended that the act is unconsti- tutional in that it holds a railway company responsible for the acts of it's officers whether or not they are in relation to interstate commerce. The test case will be made of an action of Jyntaro Tsmura, q Japanese laborer who was awarded judgment for s1350 in a suit for $1,900 Tsmura and oth- CT laborers were unloading rails from a car. His fellow workers let go of the rail without warning him and his thumbs were cut off when the rail struck the pile. The company was represented at the hearing and asked the court to direct a verdict in it's favor on the ground that the injured man was not engaged in interstate commerce, and that the act of con- gress of 1908 is unconstitutional. Judge William F. Huneke Overruled the motion, saying the question would have to be taken before the supreme court for a ruling on the constitu- tionality of the act, which makes a railway company liable for injuries to an employe, regardless of the de- cisions of court and statutes relating to fellow servants.

The Unions Declare War Against French Government
  GENERAL STRIKE ORDERED
Following the Determination of the Chamber to Post pone Action Upon the De- mands of the Federal Com. mittee.

Paris, May 1.-The chamber of dep- uties, after stormy session of fouI hours today, adjourned the debate on the interpellations on the postal situa- tion until May 15. The response of the employees was quick and decisive Within half an hour the federal com mittee had issued an order for a gen eral strike and the railway mail clerks walked out in a body.
 An hour later a meeting of six thou sand postal employees took up the bat tie and unanimously voted to strike. No great enthusiasm was shown, but determination to force the hand of the government was apparent
 "The government is playing for time; we must not be caught mapping" was the spirit of the meeting, as expressed by Patron. a dismissed postal employe. NJ. Deschanel considered the crisis very grave. He laid the responsibility for the present situation largely on "parlia- mentarianism."
 Dispatches were received from many cities announcing the support not only of the postal employees, but of the vari- ous trades unions. The miners con- gross. now in session at Lens, also pledged their aid.

TWENTY MEN ARE MISSING
Of the Thirty Members of the Party Only Ten Escaped. Others Missing With But Little Probability That Any May Be Rescued.

Pittsburg, May 11.-Twenty persons are missing and all are believed to have been drowned, as a result of the sink ing of a gasoline launch on the Ohio river, near Schoenville. four miles be- low Pittsburg. tonight.
 Of the thirty occupants of the boat only ten are known to have escaped.
 The missing are: Albert Graham. pilot and part owner of the boat; Geo. Thompson, formerly of Altoona, Pa; Boots" O'Niell, James Connor. Walter Low, Thomas Kennedy, William Guth- rie, Henry VOgelei, Dennis Murphy, Tony Bole, - Rusky, and nine others whose names have not been learned.
 All were employees of the Pressed Steel Car company, at the McKee's Rock plant. They had been working overtime until o'clock and left the works to cross the river in the launch about S:15.
 The boat is said to have been in- tended for not over twenty persons but all wanted to get across on the first trip. and thirty crowded in. As the boat sank it caused a suction that took many of the men down with it Others attempted to swim ashore, but were chilled by the cold water and became exhausted.
 One of the men who escaped by swimming ashore ran to a telephone and gave the alarm. Boats were at once put out in the hope of rescuing some of the struggling swimmers, but the task seemed hopeless.

FORMER MAYOR PHELAN
 IN THE CALHOUN CASE
His Testimony That There Was Ob- lection to the Overhead Trolley.

San Francisco, May 11.-For the first time since the inception of the bribery-graft investigation, James D., Phelan was called to give evidence in the trial of Patrick Calhoun. The eX- animation was carried on by Francis J. Heney and the controversies over the installation of the overhead or un- derground electric propulsion systems on the lines of the United Railroads prior to the fire of 1906 was the only subject of inquiry reached.
 MT Phelan what were the grounds for your objection to the overhead trolley system? asked MT. Heney First" said MT. Phelan, because the wires and poles were unsightly; sec ond, because we believed San Fran cisco to be as good as Washington and New York, thirdly because we saw no good argument in favor of the overhead outside of the lesser cost of construction"
 Phelan was still under direct ex- animation when court adjourned.

WHOLESALE
 AND RETAIL And Re|ati0ROf Those Prices
 to the Tariff 4 DOWNWARD REVISION In the Opinion of MT. Aldrich Would Benefit the Consum- CT Little as the Difference Would be Absorbed in the Profits of Merchants.
4 DOWNWARD REVISION

Washington, May 1L-Substantial progress was made in the considera- tion of the tariff bill, the amendments of the committee on finance being up- held by substantial majorities. A feature of the session was the general discussion concerning the great dis parity between wholesale and retail prices.
 Republican senators declared that this difference is so great as to dem onstrate that the duty levied by a protective tariff had small effect on the price paid by the consumer. This feature of the discussion was precipi- tated by Senator Scott, himself a glass manufacturer.
 The schedule covering products of lead was passed over upon the sug- gestion of MT. Aldrich, because he said the finance committee desired to make some changes in the duties as previously recommended.
