Losing Money"

The president of the F. T. & F. r.
R. Company went on the stand and
solemnly swore that at two cents a
mile for passengers Transportation his
road was losing money.
The beef trust magnate, in open
court with tears in his eyes declared
on oath that meat could not be sold
for less than twenty-four cents a
pound without losing money.
The high official of the oil combine
proved to the investigating committee
that oil could not be put on the mar
ket at even half a cent gallon less
without losing money.
The lumber baron testified before
the Citizens Reform Bureau that any
attempt on the part of the people to
scale down the high pric. on lumber
would result in great injustice to the
lumber interests and result in their
losing money.
In spite of all these fearful pro-
tests, the people met in their legisla-
lures and passed laws reducing the
prices on railroad transportation, on
meat. oil and lumber.
A year after these laws went into
effect the four representatives of rail
roads, beef, oil and lumber happened
to meet on the most expensive ocean
steamer going to Europe on their va
cations.
RAILROAD dividends have been seri-
ously impaired by the new and iniuui-
tous laws. said the railroad president.
"Our road has cleared a net profit
of only 300 per cent.
The beef magnate sighed, 1--WE made
only 400 per cent profit this year." he
said.
The oil king felt his crown and
tears were in his eyes. "Our COM
pany has only 500 per cent profit this
year. My contributions to churches
and education must be reduced one
half. -
The lumber baron also sighed heavi-
~. Our profits" he said," are re-
duced to 600 per cent. A great loss.
This is what the trust magnates
mean when they testify that lower
prices for their goods means for
them. losing money"

NINE MEN FROZEN STIFF
Corpses Of Men From Lake Erie Ferry
Are Found In a YaWI


Erie, Pa, Dec. 13.-With her flag
at half mast, the state fisheries boat
Commodore Perry, Captain Driscoll
commanding, brought to this port the
frozen corpses of nine of the crew of
the Bessemer and Marquette ferry
No. 2, which left Conneaut, O.,
Tuesday morning, carrying thirty
two men, and which has probably
foundered in the middle of Lake Erie.
AS the lookout on the Perry sighted
tiny half sunken yawl fifteen miles
off this port at about noon Sunday,
orders were given to steam down upon
the object. AS the Perry came abreast
of the drifting and half waterlogged
yawl, the men gathered at the side
of the fish boat saw that they had ar
rived too late. The nine occupants of
the boat were frozen stiff in death
Taking the yaWl in tow, the Perry
made all steam for this port, arriving
here last evening.

.RIVETS IN ARMOR
STRAINED IN CRASH
BattIeshIps Collide While En-
gagged In Tactical Exercises

Washington, Dec. 12.-The battle
ships Georgia and Nebraska collided
while engaged in tactical exercises off
the Virginia capes. The effects of the
collision were not serious, and the
two ships were able to return to
Hampton Roads
This information came to the navy
department from Rear Admiral
Schroeder, commander of the fleet.
Further than describing the effects
of the collision as slight" the navy
department had no information to give
in regard to the damage suffered by
the vessels. 1t was learned, how
ever, that the collision was severe
enough to strain the rivets of the
armor of the vessels. A court OF in
quiry will probably be appointed i'm.
mediately to ascertain the RESPONSE
bility for the accident.

tern which whirred above in the air
and was seen by several people.
Tillinghast says that his flight
of approximately 1900 miles was
made without alighting once, and that
his three passengers, which the
monoplane can carry, can weigh as
much as 200 pounds apiece.
His aeroplane, he says, is of the
monoplane form, is u feet long,
weighs 1850 pounds and is furnished
with a 12O-horsepower gasolene en-
CINE made under his own specifica-
tons and supervision.
He says that he has already broken
all records for height ever made in an
airship and that he confidently be-
lieves his monoplane is capable Of 100
miles an hour.
Tillinghast, who is wealthy, has
financed his own invention without
outside capital and has practically de-
voted every hour for the past seven
years outside his regular Office hours
to the perfection of his designs.
Besides the flight of 800 miles, TIL
Hnghast says that he has made over
100 ascensions, practically every one
of them successful, and each aided in
perfecting his monoplane.
Secrecy is maintained by the in
ventor as to the present whereabouts
of his machine and when his next
flight will take place. Tillinghast
says that he has maintained secrecy
because he wished to perfect his in
vention, but that now he is assured of
success, he will substantiate every
statement that he has made about his
flights. He has taken out patents
covering all the important innovations
In his mOnOplane.
Only the inventor and the mechan-
.cians, of whom there are several
have seen the machine, except a few
persons who have, the inventor be-
lieves, watched it flying above them
in the darkness.

for Ireland was laid down as the chief
feature of the Liberal program by

policy was enunciated in a speech be-

The premier repeated what had been

would demand the limitation of the
power of the house of lords, and then
he went step further and pledged the
