A DOUBT|NG THOMAS
 IN ALBUQUERQUE N. M.
A Truthful Story Emanating From Phoenix Discredited.

The Albuquerque Journal Thus islanders an 2 estimable resident of Phoenix.
 There is an Arizona man named Al Galpin who makes John Hance look like Truthful James and an innocent and guileless Sunday school scholar. The Coconino Sun gives the following narrowing details of the story of Gal pin and the most remarkable dog that ever happened:
 This may sound like a fish story, but Al Galpin is willing to swear upon stack of red chips and dozen Bi- bles that it is the truth. Moreover he has the dog to show those who may be skeptical
 This afternoon Mir Galpin took a sudden notion that he would go hunt ing and called up his wife to tell her about it. When he had completed ar engagements with her he asked that his English setter dog. Tom be called to the phone. While surprised at this request, Mrs. Galpin obeyed.
 "Go ahead" she said when she had carefully placed the receiver to the dogs ear.
 Come right down town, Tom, we are going hunting" said Galpin.
 Tom jumped off the chair on which he was standing and was out of the door like a shot. He was just in time to catch a passing street car. When the conductor let the dog off he dropped in at MT. Galpins office and collected five cents fare for Tom.
 This story throws other marvellous tales of the intelligence of dogs far into the shade. but both MT. and Mrs. Galpin assert that it is true. while the conductor can swear that Tom rode on his car as real passenger.

THE ATHENAkUM.
Three Interesting Reports at
Meeting Thursday Night.

The Athenaeum met at Hotel
Latham Thurday night with 10 mem
bers present and. three interesting
papers on the program:
Capt. A. g. Chapman had an in
structive paper on Insurance" Mr..
j. w. Downer talk on "Othello.
the Moor Of Venice" and Mr.. ]. C.
Duffy paper on Internal Improve
ments by the Government" Mr..
Downer handled his subject in his
usual thorough style, more as a
lecture than paper. He discussed
the play and analysed the characters,
closing with his own observations on
the lessons taught by the tragedy.
A regretfuI feature of the meet,
ing was the resignation of DR.. r. L.
Woodland, a charter member, who
will soon leave the city. He has
been one of the best and most popu-
lar members since the society was
was organized in 1901.

point all examiners, pass upon ap-
plications etc. The place is one Of the
very highest responsibility and the
salary paid DR.. Woodland is largely
in excess of that paid heretofore.
Mr.. P. B. Garrett, aChristian coun-
ty man, ais secretary of the company,
which was formed about fourt cen
months ago, and he was sent here
to offer the place to DR.. Woodland,
which was the first intimation that
his services were in demand. He
named a salary that would induce
him to leave Hopkinsville and his
own terms were accepted. He went
to Terra Haute last week and closed
contract.
DR.. Woodland is still under 40 and
has been practicing his profession
Is years, and 8 years of that time
has been secretary of the City Board
of Health. He was graduated in

aminer for sixteen life insurance
companies for years and understands
the business in all its details. AS a

DIES HOLDING DOWN
Lid ON yESUVIuS
Prof. Matteucci Passes Away
After Spending Over IS
Years at Perilous Job.

Rome, July a.-Professor R. v. Mat
teucci, director OF the royal observatory
on Mount Vesuvius, who was famous for
his devotion to duty during eruptions of
the volcano. died in the observatory.
Frank A.. Perret, assistant director of the
observatory. an American. who predicted
the Messina earthquake, was Professor
Matteucci's sole companion.
Matteucci had been sitting on the ye-
suvian lid for over IS years, and although
Mt times cut and pounded by volcanic
bombs. which once sent him into a hos
pital, showed no desire to quit.
The observatory has stood for over 60
years. more or less, intact. 1t is about
1000 feet above the level Of the Bay OF
Naples, on a little hill called San Saliva
tore at the foot of the great cone.
This hill acts as a sort of lava breaker,
turning aside the streams which pour
from the crater. SO that the observatory
is free from peril except from lombard
ment by stones and other volcanic mis-
siles.
1t frequently has been damaged in this
way. and during the last eruption all its
windows were broken. The building con-
sists of a single story raised on terraces
and containing laboratories, offices. and
living rooms for the director.

Washington, July 21.-Co-operation
Between railways ana waterways
seems absolutely necessary to insure a
reasonable II efficient use of the in
land water courses of this country.
This conclusion is reached in the re-
port of Herbert Knox Smith, commits
%,sioner of corporations, in part two of
his discussion of the subject of Trans
portation by Water" which his bureau
has been investigating for many
port was transmitted to President Taft
today. 1t deals with traffic by water,
and portions Of it are particularly sug-
gesttve and significant.
1t is pointed out by Commissioners
Smith that lit is a public evil that
United States should be, as now, at
odds with itself through destructive
competition, while the transportation
needs of the public suffer"
Traffic in ITSELF" the report con
tinues, sis a necessity for the proper
development OF a waterway. State and
federal work must be supplemented by
private initiative, especially in termi-
nails and equipment, and private init
.ative Will come in only when there is
reasonable chance of enough traffic to
make it profitable. One of the great
questions, therefore, is the question of
how to secure for the inland rivers and
canals q reasonable share Of the coun-
try'S traffic"
River Traffic Decrease.
An enormous increase has been
shown in the rail traffic. There also
has been an increase in the coast wise
traffic. On the other hand, the river
and canal traffic shows q marked de-
crease Discussing this situation, Com
missioner Smith, in his report, says:
The New York canals and the Mis-
ssissippi river system illustrate this. Up
to 1855 the traffic on the New York
canals was more han twice that of The
railroads crossing New York state.
1t is now less than 3 per cent of that
total The situation on the Mississippi
is Illustrated in the traffic history OF
St. Louis. River shipments there in
1880 were over 900, 900 tons: in 1906,
3d. 900 tons. Rail shipments, on the
other, hand, increased from 5000. OOC
tons in 1890 to IT, 900, 900 tons in 1906.
THE coal traffic down stream from
the vicinity of Pittsburg, over Sc per
cent of the entire vessel traffic on the
Mississippi system, is the one striking
exception to the general decline on thai
system. Its success is due to the great
deposits of coal practically on the
banks. and a corresponding demand fo1
il along the river"

GIRL WOULD PULL
ROPE ON SLAYER

Watseka. Ill, July 2o~.-Following the
discovery Of important documents In
the vaults of the Crescent City First
National bank, which are believed to
shed much light on the mysterious
shooting of Banker John Byron Sayler,
Coda Sayler, the 17-year-old daughter
of the dead man, declared she was con-
WINGED her father had been murdered.
Coda further stated that she would

She vowed vengeance against DR.. w.
r. Miller, who is in the %Iroquois coun-
ty jail charged with the crime, and
said n would like to see him
hanged"
The young girls new attitude toward
the slayer of her father is believed to
have been cause by a letter found
among the dead bankers papers in the
vault. 1t is said this letter explains
fully the circumstance of DR.. Millers
relations with Mrs. Sayler and to have
expressed the fear that the writer
would meet his death at the hands Of

GOVERNMENT PUTS BAN
ON TRUSTS PRODUCT

New York, July 21.-That the trust
idea is abhorrent to the federal gov
eminent is shown not only by prosecu-
ton under the Sherman antitrust law.
but also by the definite policy Of with
drawing government patronage from
combinations of capital that have
been adjudged %violators of the law.
This step has just been taken against

panies that las been receiving consid-
cradle attention lately from the gov
Through the Office of the commissary
general at Washington the war depart
ment has issued ar order that no con-
with the American Tobf o

American Cigar company. the Ameri-
can Stogie company or the MacAn-
sdrews & Forbes Co.
The order states that by a decree of
the United States circuit court for the
Southern district Of New York on De-
emb Is. 1908, each of these COM
panies was adjudged to CONSTITUTES and
is in itself a combination in violation
of the Sherman antitrust law, which
is an act to protect trade and com
merce against unlawful restraint and
~moncpolies.
The order then says hat mo contract
for the government shall be entered into
directly with any corporation which has
peen ad1uulcated to be party to an
unlawful trust and monopoly. and to
be carrying on business in violation Of
law, nor with any middleman or agent
of such company known to be acting
for such unlawful concerns"
The American tobacco company Off
Gals at Ill Fifth ave-, when inter
viewed yesterday said that they ..had
absolutely nothing to say"
n opinion prevails that the govern
ment embargo on the product of the
tobacco company will result in a CON
siderable loss to the latter. for the gov
eminent has annually bought large
quantities of smoking and chewing to-
bacco for the army and navy.
The loss OF the trust will be the gain
of the smaller independent tobacco
firms, for it is understood that the gov
nme has already asked for their
samples with the view of placing orders
with them.

the democrats OF the House OF Repre-

won the most famous congressional
baseball game on record by the thrill
ing score of Is to 16. The minority
wanted to make it 16 to /, but the
republicans defeated hat proposition
once again.
The democratic victory-the first Of
the extra sessfon-was followed by a
cloudburst. The deluge did not descend
until the seventh inning battle had
ended with the stout members putting
and groggy from running bases and
chasing balls, and the lean members
prone on h grass from exhausted
energy. The crowd Which witnessed
the game was equally weary-with
laughter. The throng present included
most of the distinguished government
officials. President Taft did not at
tend-he was at Chevy Chase with
Vice President Sherman playing golf.
More different kinds Of baseball were
played In that game than were ever
crowded into eve innings before, and
1t was not all bad. The democrats
put up a rafting game in the field
sometimes. Representative Hef1in. Of
Alabama, who played in one Of the
outer gardens, once had a chance to
be q hero. Republicans came to life
In h fifth inning and were scoring
eight or nine or 10 runs when a fly
went winging out into left field,
straight at Helm. The portly Ala
baman. who played in white flannel
trousers, cast one eye at the ball and
another at his bare hands and
"ducked." The hit ought to have been
good for a home run, but Representa-
tive Rowland, Of Ohio, fell exhausted
on the second sack and yelled for
somebody to come out and finish the
run.
