HIGH COURT DECISION
VICTORY FOR RAILROADS
Although Declaring Hepburn Act Valid,
the Opinion Gives Carriers
Big Advantage.

Washington, May 3.-Lawyers and
railroad men are agreed that the de-
cision of the supreme court to-day in
the commodities clause cases affecting
the railway companies is greater
victory for the railroads than 1t is for
the government, although the Hepburn
interstate commerce law is declared
constitutional
The court holds that congress did
not transcend it's constitutional author
ity in passing the bill, but it is decided
that the governments construction of
the law is entirely too comprehensive.
1t is in the opinion of the court that
the railroads have right to hold
stock in subsidiary companies that the
roads win their big victory. Unless the
law is amended so as to include stock
ownership the railroads can escape its
provisions entirely by converting their
direct ownership into stock ownership
by the organization of subsidiary COM
panies.

D0LLIvER AND ALDRICH
IN A HOT TARIFF CLASH
Iowa Senator and Leader Have Lively
TaIk-Bradley Makes Protec-
ton Plea.

Washington, May Ex-senator Dolli-
yer of Iowa yesterday attacked the
methods under which protective tariff
bills are formed and engaged in a
constant exchange of words with Sen
ator Aldrich, who was a careful lis
tener to the address of the Iowa SEN
ator.
On the Democratic side senators re-
manned mute, no member of the minor
ity interposing a word in the contro.
very over the tariff, which occupied
the Republican senators alone.
At times this debate threatened to
be acrimonious, but the Iowa senator
was ever ready with humorous retort
which called forth laughter at times
when angry words seemed unavofd-
able.
Senator Borah concluded his speech
on the income tax, delivering an ex-
tended legal argument to show that
there is ample reason for believing
that the supreme court of the United
States might reverse itself if the con-
stitutionality of that tax should again
be presented to it.
A strong plea for the extension of
the protection tariff system to jute
was made by Senator Bradley of Ken
lucky, who declared that with the
protective policy covering products of
his state, Kentucky would be as safely
Republican in the future as Massa-
chusetts has been in the past.

NONUNION MAN FATALLY SHOT
Henry Tatterbaum 10 Wounded, While
on His Bakery Wagon, by Men
Who Make Attack.

Chicago, May 6.-Henry latter
baum, nonunion bakery wagon
driver employed by Josef Bronsky.
642 Milwaukee avenue. was shot and
probably fatally wounded after being
attacked by four men, believed to be
union sympathizers, at Wood and
West Seventeenth streets, yesterday.
The attack on Tatterbaum was the
second which had been made on him
within few days, and the trouble is
attributed directly to a fight which
is being waged against the open shop
conducted by Bronsky.
Longer than a week policemen
have been accompanying Bronsky's
drivers on their wagons until they
we're we'll on their routes, because of
the former assault on the driver
which was made by three men who
were arrested at the time and whose

TAFT MAY NAME
WILLARD AS JUDGE
FORMER MINNEAPOLIS MAN IS
LIKELY TO SUCCEED PURDY.
Senator's Approval Wanted Before Ap'
pointment is Made -Jurst Is Now
on Supreme Bench of Philip
pine Islands.

Washington. May 5.-President Taft
Is strongly inclined to appoint Judge
Charles A. Willard, at present on the
supreme bench of the Philippines. and
formerly Minneapolis attorney. to
the Minnesota federal judgeship, made
vacant by the resignation of Milton
D. Purdy.
Whether he makes the appointment
or not depends upon the favor with
which Judge Wizards selection Is
regarded by the Minnesota senator's.
It is not known whether Senator
Nelson has been directly asked to ap-
prove the selection Of Judge Willard,
but the president has spoken of the
latter to several other senators, and
ia anxious to give him the position If
his nomination can be affirmed in the
senate.
The president regards Judge Will
ard as an able jurist, and la thorough
ly familiar with his work in the Phil
ippines. where he has been almost con-
tinuously for the last eight or nine
years.
1t Is understood here that Judge
Willard. who resigned his Philippine
place in 1906, and returned to this
country and married. accepted re-
appointment with the understanding
that Taft either as president or q
public official. would endeavor to find
him a place on the federal bench in
the United States. No place would
better satisfy the Minneapolis man
than the federal appointment in his
own state. where he was for many
years member Of the firm of Gilt1l-
lon, Belden g. Willard Of Minneapolis.

HE MAY YET

Uncle Joe Cannon, at a recent meet

idea suggested that as long as he
told stories he wouldn't be making any
financial misstatements.
1t was when he was small boy.
A big negro took him to the circus.
When they got to the menagerie the
negro put the little Cannon on his
shoulders. They stopped in front of
the great apes cage.
How do yuh feel? asked the negro.
The ape said never word. Twice
more he asked the question without
getting an answer.
Then he turned away.
"It's a mighty good thing for yuh
all that yuh don't speak, or the white
men would put a pick or a shovel in
yuhr hands and put yuh out in the
field. Then yuh'd have to work just
like us niggers. s."-Housekeeper.

for hats, basket work, and for other

eLusHEs DENOTE INTELLECT

ogist has recently declared that 1t re-
ouires brains to blush, that the ability
to blush is in direct ratio to mental
alertness, and that blushing Is an
achievement of which everyone should
be proud, for it is positive sign of an
active brain.
Idiots cannot blush, and neither can
animals. Similarly infants do not blush,
although they learn to do so at an early
age. Just as soon, in fact as the brain
begins to exercise its higher functions.
Moreover, the blush cannot be caused
by any physical means; 1t Is the nina
which must be affected.
Aside from the fact that blushing has
its origin in the mind, It's most striking
regularity is that 1t is with rare ex-
ceptions, confined to the face, ears and
neck. 80
While the whole body may tingle with
heat there are few known cases where
the actual reddening of the skin sxtend-
ed further than the collar bones or the
shoulder blades
According to Darwin and Sir James
Paget our personal appearance and not
our moral conduct is the fundamental
element in blushing. 1t all started with
the wish to be admired, In the mere
thinking of what other people thought
of us.
In the early stages of civilization peo-
ple were Judged more for their physical
beauty than for their moral conduct
and the habit of blushing arose from
the fear of blame or disapproval on
that account.
Then, as the race progressed, the
moral and intellectual qualities became
more and more to be valued, the fear of
blame or disapproval became as 1t were
grated on to the other and simpler
fear, and came to express itself, by
mental association, in the same way.
We have seen how blushing origin
ated in an anxiety about our personal
appearance. Now our chief concern In
this regard has always been the face,
the natural seat of personal attract
iveness.
Therefore, the first thought upon
meeting those whom we desire to please
was of our faces; and If, for any rea-
son, we suspected that our faces did not
please, our minds were naturally con-
centrated upon the defect there.
Shyness, modesty, shame-all have
their foundation in the primitive love
of admiration, and the blush of the girl
who meets her lover is, after all, only
a sublime sort of personal vanity, ques-
tioning its owners power to please.

BIG VEIN Of COAL
NEAR BRIDGEPORT
PROMISES TO BE ONE OF THE
GREAT FINDS OF NORTHWEST
CENTRAL WASHINGTON.

Several years ago Robert Galbraith
discovered what he believed to be
the making of a great coal mine. 1t
is located on the north bank Of the
Columbia river ten miles above
Bridgeport. Four claims were stakei
out by as many different parties,
making full section of land. Up to
this year only enough work has been
done on the property to comply with
the assessment law, but this spring
two of the original owners sold their
holdings to E. A. Freeman and ]. p.
Carter, formerly of this city. Devel-
opment work was begun in earnest
and tunnel was extended some 185
feet. Low grade ore was found and
the quality improved as the work ad-
vanced. Finally first class coal was
discovered in large quantities. Three
veins, making a total of seven feet,
constitute what is considered by ex-
perts to be great mine. Sandwiched
in between the veins are strata of
fire clay about two feet in thickness,
and these add much value to this
proposition. The three stratas are
much easier to- work than If the coal
was all in a solid vein.
The coal has been analyzed by
chemists who declare that it is of ex-
cellent quality. Practical tests have
also been made and there is no doubt
that the mine will prove of great
value to north central Washington.
The coal is not only Of good quality,
but of sufficient quantity to affect the
fuel situation in very favorable
way.
The mine is situated in the ColviIle
reservation and the law enables the
holders of the property to secure it at
a cost of $1,000 per acre. They are
making final arrangements with the
government with the idea of paying
the minimum price, for should a rail-
road arrive within fifteen miles of
their mine before the papers are Sc
cured from the government, they
must pay $4,000 an acre instead OF
$1,000.
A large borax mine has been To-
Gated four miles north of this coal
p,iro ord , doyoloDp,oot ooronopr &c
at present being formed to handle
this proposition also. The excitement
at Bridgeport. caused by these dis
coveries, is having its beneficial eff
feet upon all values, and the people
of that section are more certain than
ever that their town is destined to be
one of the most important cities in
the northwest.
