remedy which would injure the
people az much as the roads, per-
haps. The governor could not ask
the attorney general to proceed as
the circuit attorney of st Louis
proceeded, because the attorney
general is under the Injunction of
the federal court, so the proceed
ings at St. Louis we're prepared
for and undertaken without con-
sulting that official. There was
no purpose on the part of the gov
ernor to ignore or to slight the at
torney general or to interfere with
any prerogative which he might
claim, but a serious and sincere
purpose to prevent the railroads
from establishing new rates at the
present time or until the state ca
have a part in deciding what new
rates shall be established.
The suit entered at st. Louis
charges that the railroads of the
state have entered upon a con-
spiracy to fix the rates to be
charged for passenger traffic. If
that contention il established the
court will be compelled to enjoin
them permanently from fixing the
rate or rates they may agree upon
jointly. In order to avoid that
outcome and to make possible a
settlement of the controversy be-
tween the roads and the state, t he
Burlington system and the Rock
Island system announced late thi 8
week that a fiat rate of two and a
half cents will be established on
their roads May 1. Other road q
will have to follow suit, though it
be done without his agreement.
1t is the purpose of Governor
Hadiey to see that Missouri people
have the same treatment from tn e
railroads accorded to the peopl e
of states east and west of this state d.
Not until the railroads secure fro m
the federal courts the same in
functions against enforcing a two
cent rate in those states that they
secured against the state OF Mis-
souri,, will the governor be willin g
to allow higher rates to be- estab-
lished for Missouri travel. He is
asking for a fair deal from the
railroads, without discrimination,
and he is resourceful enough to
compel them 10 give it. He is not
alter a little glory or a little part y
advantage, but after the welfare of
the people of the state, and they
will know where to bestow the
glory and pace the credit when
his work is done. Whether he
wins or loses he will not be found
asleep at the switch when the
hishrate trains go by.

GOV. READY FOR THE RAILROADS
They Did Not Raise the PASSENGER
Rates April 10, and Will Have
to Wait a While.

Missouri railroads will not raise
the passenger rate to three tents a
mile this month. They were ready
to 40 it April 10th, and would
have done it but for a wise an d
timely movement on the part of
Governor Hadley, who had the
circuit attorney of ST. Louis apply =.
in the name of the state, to Tn e
circuit court of that city for a writ
of Injunction restraining them.
The suit for such an Injunction
wac not at first taken seriously ~
the railroad attorneys, but whe n
the temporary injunction came up
April IL for hearing these sam e
attorneys thought it best to go
slow in trying to prevent a per
manent injunction issuing, and
discovered they have a legal pro-
position difficult to handle. AS
Governor Hadley drew the paper 8
and is the instigator of the pro
ceedings, it goes without sayin G
that there is something very ser
ious in the matter as far as the
railroads are concerned. The first
effect of the suit has been to con,
tinue in operation the two-cent
passenger rate for an indefni te
time-a very good result for tn e
people. The final effect may be
to compel the roads to make a rat G
above a fraction over two cents
the thing which the governor ha
commended for.
Governor Hadley warned the
railroads not to attempt to put in
force a rate of three cents. Ate
failing to effect ar agreement al
to the rate to be substituted for thu
two-cent rate which the FEEDER a.
court of Kansas City enjoined tn,
state from enforcing, the railroa q
companies went ahead, despite tn
warning of the governor, and WEI {
about to make effective a rate o
three cents per mile for travel be
tween stations in this state. The
attorney general was prepared, sc
he publicly stated, to estop the
roads after such rates were an
nounced, by quo warranto pro
ceedings under the antitrust Law
of the state, Governor Hadley
knowing that the antitrust Law
does not apply to passenger tram'
on the railroads, was not willin,
to wait for such results as nigh
come from proceedings of that ma
ture-proceedings to revoke tn
charters of the roads, a drasti

WORK HAS BEGUN.
Henry Bennett Secures Contract for
Foundation Santa F'e Offices.

The contract for the excavation and
Foundation work of the new six story
Santa Fe office building which will be
erected at a cost of $225.OO0, has been
let to Henry Bennett of this city. This
announcement was made today from
the office of the chief engineer of the
system.
Work has commenced on the ex-
cavation and today the big brick resi-
dence occupying the site is being torn
down. This building will be lowered
ir a few days and the teams and
scrapers will be placed on the site at
Gnce. The contract calls for the COM
! letion of the excavation and founda-
tion work in 20 days.
The brick house which is being torn
down at this time was formerly oc-
cupied by some of the depart
ments of the auditing depart
nent of the Santa Fe. The crowd
ed condition of the present office build
ing has made it necessary for different
departments to move in vacant build
ings over all over the city.
The new Santa Fe office building,
which will be built with wall capa-
HE of hold twelve stories, will be
erected as soon as possible at an esti-
mated cast of $225,0OO. 1t is thought,
however, that the cost will be much
more than that before all of the plans
gre carried out.

President Eliot of National Con
seryatiOn Association
Calls Attention to a Menace to
the Country.
WATERAND COALLAND
Are About to Pass Into the
Hands of MOnOpOlies.
Immediate Action Is Necessary
to Prevent 1t, He Says.

New York, Nov. S.-Dr. Cnarles
Eliot, president of the National Con-
servation association, today authorized
a statement on the danger of the mo-
ropolistic control of the sources OF
lower in this country, which is de-
tIared to be urgent. The statement is
made in the form of an appeal to the
American people and deals particularly
with the much discussed question of
the coal fields of Alaska. 1t says:
1.-The National Conservation assoc1a,
ton is convinced of the urgent need
Of immediate measures to prevent the
control of the great sources OF neat
and mechanical power in the United
States from being seized by monopo-
-.stic organizations and to secure the
hest development Of these sources III
the interest of the whole people. These
sources are waterfalls and coal. I'm
Ger the existing laws, the wisest de-
-,elopment is practically impossible.
The following statement describes the
situation with respect to coal lands:
THE coal lands in the possession of
the United States are being rapidly an
sorbed under the present inadequate
law The fields of Alaska, estimated to
contain Is billion tons. should remain
the heritage of the people. But bad as
the general land law of the United
States, that of Alaska is even worse. for
there tie government is absolutely Inn
1ted to a charge OF SlO an acre, winch
Is less thar one-tenth of the real value
of these ccal lands.
New Claimants May File.
There are already about 900 entries
in the Alaska coar fields. 1t is true that
the field was recently withdrawn from
entry but the legality of that with
draW&l has been questioned. Even il
the 900 existing claims now coming to
trial should be declared fraudulent, new
claimants may file on the lands under
tie Objectionable provisions OF the ex-
listing laws without restriction against
monopoly and waste and without other
necessary provisions
1--WE have urged the present admin
lstration to postpone, for the common
good. the trial of these claims and we
lave no doubt in view of the facts and
of the policy of the administration as
declared by President Taft in his
speech at Spokane, September %, that
ur request will be granted.
There is d limit, however, beyond
which delay can not go. Should con-
sress fail to act at the coming session,
II is possible the opportunity TO obtain
adequate legislation for the coal lands
still in possession of the United States
will be lost.
The situation with respect to water
power development. both in the public
domain and on navigable streams. is
to coal. The water powers can not be
effectively developed in the putic in
terest under the existing law.
1--WE, therefore appeal to the
American people to bring the urgent
needs of the situation to the attention
in order that comprehensive legisla-
tion on the matter be enacted. To
this end every individual citizen is
urged to do his part.

PRICES DEMORALIzED.

on Cotton Exchange.

New York, Nov. S.-A perfect ava
lanche of selling orders received over
Sunday, as a result of Ia st weeks bear

ton market at the opening today.
First prices showed a loss of from
% to 3S points from Saturday with
January selling at $13.S5, or 1925 per
bale below the high record of Thurs
day. Business was senSationally ac-
i've. After the first rush of liquidation
had spent itself, prices rallied any
W here from 20 to 25 points from the
lowest on covering and fresh buying
was attracted by the decline, but the
market continued to show great nerv-
BUSINESS, sentiment being very much
nsettled by reports that speculative
holders of spot cotton in the south
we're endeavoring to unload.
The report of the census bureau
showing 7,012.317 bales ginned to No
Tember 1, against S.191,577 last year,
was about as expected and had little
ir ffuence.
The market was only a little less ex-
cited during the late forenoon and busi-
ness continued active with prices rul-
ing a little steadier on profit taking by
shorts and support from reactionists.
From a net loss of between 35 and 90
points for the active months at the
lowest point of the morning. the rally
carried the market to within 8@1S points
of Saturdays finals at midday.

INDIANS LOSE.
Redress for Being Excluded From
Citizenship Rolls Is Denied.

Washington, Nov. SIN an opinion
by Justice Holmes, the supreme court
of the United States, decided against
the complainants in the case of the
1900 Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians
who asked for redress for being ex-
cluded from the citizenship rolls of
those nations when they were pre-
pared by Secretary Hitchcock of the
interior department on March 4. 1907.
The suit was instituted by j. E.
Fleming in the United States circuit
court for the eastern district of Okla
homa and was sensational in it's
charges. 1t declared the citizenship
rolls had been prepared on fraudu-
lent lists: that the citizenship court
had been bribed; that $750,000 had
been paid to the Oklahoma legal firm
OF Mansfield, McMurray and Cornish
as the result of unlawful connlVing
and that Notwithstanding these
charges had been brought to the at
tention of Secretary Garfield, he had
failed to investigate them.
1t was also asserted that the sec
retary had withdrawn vast areas OF
land for reservation purposes and for
other uses contrary to law.
Claiming to be entitled to share
of the Choctaw and Chickasa funds
and lands under the terms of the
treaty between the Indians and the
United States. which was entered
into in 1880; the petitioners asked for
decree compelling general ac-
proportion of the property and for
an Injunction prohibiting further ne
gotiations looking to the alienation of
