Management and Commission
erS Settle Differences

SEATTLE, Wash, May 25.-As re-
suit of the conference between the
special committee appointed by the
commissioners representing the states
having exhibits at the Alaska Yukon
Pacific exposition and the executive
committee of the fair directors, an
amicable settlement of the dispute over
the location of selling booths in front
of state and county buildings was
reached today.
Following this conference it was
given out that booths would be located
on premises allotted to exhibitors only
with the consent of the commissioners
in charge.
The controversy arose last week.
when workmen under orders from the
director of works of the fair started
to erect selling booths on the lawn of
the Oregon building. The superintend-
ent of the Oregon building forced the
men TO cease work
The fair management asserts that
the full number of 115 booths will be
erected on the grounds, but that they
will secure permission from the ex-
hibitors before placing them near any
of the special buildings.
The formal exercises of the opening
of the exposition one week from today
will consume IS minutes, and will be
followed by the pressing of the golden
key by President Taft at the White
House that will set the wheels In
motion.

L. I. Cooper, the man who is meet

of humanity flowed into the store to
have Cooper explain his theories and
medicines, and most of the time 1t
was difficult matter to get within
speaking distance of him.
Among Coopers callers were some
enthusiasts on the subject of his treat
ment who have become convinced his
claims are genuine, and several OF
these people expressed themselves
forcibly in explaining the reason for
their belief in the man. A sample is
the following statement by Joseph
Pinkney, 376 San Carlos avenue:
Il have been very sick man for
number of years, suffering from stom-

Tariff Revision for Guam

WASHINGTON, May 25.-A serious
complication has arisen in the tariff re-
vision OF the American island of Guam,
whose civil government is administered
by a governor assigned from the United
States navy.
With the assistance of Governor Dorm
the navy department had prepared a
new tariff law for Guam. designed to
tighten the import duties on the neces-
stiles of life.
Just when the new law was about to
be signed by Secretary Meyer it was
discovered that the provisions of the
tariff bill now before congress stipulate
that it shall apply the day after its
passage to all goods imported into the
United States and all of its possessions
except the Philippine islands. Guam
will be subject to the new tariff law
unless it is SO amended as to also ex
clude Guam. This to the navy depart
ment seems advisabke.

of the principal express companies do
ing business throughout the country

E. Sundberg OF Minnesota.
Sundberg has lodged complaint, with
the interstate commerce commission at
Washington. in which he declares the
American. the Adams and the United
States express companies have formed
themselves into an Illegal monopoly in
violation of the Sherman antitrust
law.
He asks the commission to fix a
schedule of prices for the express busi-
ness which will bear fair relation
to the cost of transportation.
II is believed the new papers TO be
submitted to the supreme court will
shed some interesting sidelights on the
system OF nepotism which is alleged
to have governed the appointment of
officials in the United States express
