factory 'on the coast with agencies in
every section of the country. Its
pulleys,- shafting, frictions, couplings
and collars are known in all parts of
the world. Constant Meese. the head
of the concern, is one of the best
known machinery men in the west and
no whit behind him in this respect is
Fred Gottfried, the vice president. The
secretary and manager of this firm is
Colonel Walter n. Kelly, regarded as
one of thhe leaders in the industry.
The Pacific structural iron works has
secured the steel contract for the Wal

The Brode iron works has secured
the steel contract on the Powell in

Every year sees San Francisco adding
to its fame through the medium of Its
machinery. At the present time there
are few mining centers In any part of
the world in which there is not in use
machinery of some kind made in San
Francisco. johannesburg, South Afri-
ca, has of late been sending its orders
here; Australia has been doubling its
orders and orders from European
houses have been growing by leaps and
bounds. AT the rate business has been
growing in the last year 1t will not
be long before San Francisco will earn
a world wide fame for the manufacture
of machinery.

Since the passing of the tariff bill
a decided impetus has been given to
the machinery industry of San. Fran
cisco and California and of late orders
have been coming in from every part
of the globe.
The Compressed Air and Machinery
company of this city is now shipping
sharpeners to the firm of A kristen
and also big order of drill making
machinery to Bakersfield. The firm Sc
cured the last order in the face of
heavy competition from the east, pref

reputation it bears for speciality drill

air machinery. Apart from these two
orders this concern has received an
other from the isthmian canal. the sec

GUGGENHE|M IN
DEAL TO TAKE
ALASKA COAL
Seattle Banker Tells of Agree
ment to Build Railroad to
Cunningham Claims
Compact Abandoned and Conn
pany Chartered to Construct
Line to Tidewater

SEATTLE, Nov 24-For the first
time since the hearing opened the rel
ations Of the so called Guggenheim in
terests TO the Cunningham claimants
was taken up at the inquiry into the
Alaska coal land cases today.
Charles J. Smith, the Seattle banker
who built the Alaska Yukon Pacific ex-
position. and who is interested in the
Cunningham claims, was on the stand.
Smith said that he had paid $4,000
a. his share of the expenses of making
the filings and carrying on the pros
pecting work In july, 1907, Cunning
ham informed him that the so called
Guggenheim interests proposed to
build q railroad from the mines to
tidewater at Cordova, Alaska, and said
that a meeting was to be held at Spo-
kane 10 consider the proposition.
Smith was asked to attend the meet
ing but said that he could not go. Later
Cunningham informed him that a com
nittee had been appointed to take up
the matter with the representative of
the Guggenheim interests. AS re-
suit OF the efforts of this committee the
agreement was drawn up which pro-
vided that the Guggenheirns would
build line from the mines to
tidewater, in return for which they
were 10 nanCle the output or the mines.
Smith said that he was not a party
10 this agreement, which subsequently
fell through, and that he never sane
toned in any way the action of the
Spokane meeting in opening negotia-
tions with the Guggenheim interests
Later some of the claimants formed a
company TO build their own railroad.
This company was chartered.
Smith then told OF little tilt he had
with L. r. CLAWS. then a special agent
for the government. Cunningham
brought Claws into Smiths Office after
the claims had been held up. Cunning
ham said that CLAWS wanted them to
sign an affidavit setting forth that they
had no intention of holding the coal
claims for the Guggenheims.
I talked a little short" said Smith,

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-What is be-

Streets of the City

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-Aroused by a
peculiarly atrocious instance of disre-
gard for human life by a chauffeur,
the police commissioners today issued
a call for mass meeting to urge leg

struck down by touring car last
night and, when the driver found her
body clogged the wheels. he stopped to
jolt the machine free, and then made
off at high speed
In his statement Commissioner Baker
says:
1T is time for a radical change in
the law regarding speeding. It is time
for the citizens of New York to head
a mass meeting and protest to the leg
islature against this slaughter.
AN engineer who runs a harmless
donkey engine in this city gets his
license from the police department If
an accident occurs, he is responsible,
his license is revoked. Why. even

mend that power be granted the gov
eminent to control the classifcations
made by the railroads and also to
determine the reasonableness of rates

The members of the commission are
known to be of the opinion that the
Sherman antitrust law should be
amended so that permanent injunc-
tions may molly be granted after hear
ings and that temporary injunctions
should be restricted to specified
time limit. The commission also ia
vors that the law be so amended that
labor organizations will not be guilty
of conspiracy when engaged upon

President Taft believes the most
effective administration of the laws
can be brought about by making the
interstate commerce commission a
judicial body, the investigation of
complaints to be conducted by the
bureau of corporations and prosecu-
tons to be under a special bureau
in the department of justice. He
anticipates little trouble in framing

make careful study of the report
Of the commission and intends to use
the material contained therein as the
basis of number of speeches he ex
poets to deliver during his trip

President Taft fully recognizes
that not only is the effectiveness of
existing laws crippled, but the ad-
ministration is greatly handicapped
in their enforcement by the lack of
a well defined organization under
which the different departments
would have a clear field for work.
At present, for instance, the bureau
of corporations and the bureau of
labor of the department of commerce
and labor encroach upon and dupli-
cate work done by the interstate
commerce commission.
There is also conflict of authority
between the interstate commerce
commission and the department Of
