BIG LEGAL VICTORY
Western Union Gets $6,0OO,- 900 in Suit Against Rival Company After 30 Years Litigation

Boston. Mass. May 22.-The Western Union Telegraph Company gets s6,000,- coo in it's suit against the American Telephone and Telegraph Company aft CT litigation lasting thirty years. The United States Circuit Court decided in favor of the Western Union, and the amount which the former is to get has just been decided by a master.
 The suit was brought to require the telephone company to account to the Western Union for shares of stock un- der an agreement by which the latter alleged the Bell concern agreed to ac- count for 20 per cent. of all rentals or royalties received from licenses or leases for speaking telephone. It was alleged that the stocks were received as rentals for such licenses. The first special master named by the Circuit Court was John Lowell, and Everett w. Burdett of Boston is the present one.
 After hearings before him extending over several years it was found that if the stocks were to be figured upon par value the telephone company owed the Western Union more than $6.O00, 900 as 20 per cent. of the $339 065, 003, which the former had received for licenses. dividends. and other receipts for which it was accountable&under the agree ment- Master Burdett's report will soon be filed with the court
 Many of the ablest attorneys in the country have been. engaged in this legal contest.

in it's production.
 Should the weather of the summer be good for wheat growing the price Is not likely to advance as if there Is a short crop, or a poor quality of wheat. The foreign demand also has a great effect on the markets of the country, the tendency being for them to rise. Of late, however, because of the stiff prices asked abroad, the output has been considerably 1essened, the people not being able to pay the price de- manded, taking to corn feed.
 It is the opinion of many that the people will turn to the corn if flour should go much higher. Corn is now quoted at from so to 90 cents a bushel. while only a few years ago the best qualities sold at from 30 to 35 cents a bushel. This raise is caused by the greater demand. The tendency in this country for the past few years has been for flour to advance. but ac- cording to a we'll known local dealer it has not advanced proportionately to the advance in wheat. The consump- ton of flour has always been on the increase, more being sold nowadays than has been heretofore. This will continue to increase as long as the population of the country is being stretched. It is the opinion of many dealers that flour will never again be sold at the prices which it did a few years ago.

 Methods of
 Directing Railways

New York May 22.-E. H. Harri- mans method of directing the affairs of the 1SOO0 miles of railways which go to make up the Hartman system and of organizing the S0,000 men em- ployed on these lines was described last night by Julius Kruttschmitt, di- rector Of maintenance and operation of the Hartman lines. in an address de- livered before the New York Railroad Club. The system of control of this vast army of men, MT. Kruttschnitt said, while carried into effect by a number of men, was first formed as a bold conception in the mind of E. H. Hartman, whose initiative in organ ization has made possible the co-ordi- nation of the many groups of railway which are to-day included in the liar riman system.

MUsIC-LOVING cows.

Music pleases man and beast. The
author of the book of Job records the
effects of the trumpet On the horse,
and writer in the American Nat
uralist tells of a herd Of cows that
was greatly moved by the music of a
band Twelve or thirteen COWS in a
herd were grazing in large field op-
posite a dwelling hou:s. One day a
German band began playing on the
road dividing the house from the
field. No sooner did the COWS hear
the music than they came from the
farther end of the field, and standing
with their heads over the dividing
stone fence quietly listened to the
music. On the departure of the mu-
sicians, the COWS followed them as
far as they could on the other side Of
the wall When they could go no
farther, they stood lowing piteously.
Some of them became so excited that
they ran round and round the field,
seeking to get out. Finding no out
let, they returned to the corner where
they had lost sight of the band, and
remained there for a long time.

PAINTERS LUCKY ESCAPE

With a graphing hook fortunately
caught in the seat Of his trousers,
James Donahue, painter, of Brook
Ivn. dangled from the Williamsburg
bridge over Delaney street, his body
swinging to and fro $50 feet above the
surface of the water near the big pier
of the span. Hundreds of persons
watched him horror-stricken, but I'M
able to help The man was left in
that position when a scaffold on which
he had been working gave way and
Owen Finnegan, another painter, was
dashed to death against stone abut-
ment for below the bridge.
The painters were adjusting the
scaffold against the pier when F1nne-
gan accidentally let rope slip from
his grasp. One end of the scaffold
plunged downward and Finnegan fell
to death. Donahue had no warning,
ana be, too, was falling, when the
ngrappling hook, dangling from another
rope attached to the bridge overhead,
caught in his trousers. The man was
falling with such momentum that as
the hood caught he almost was jerked
out of his clothing. He swung against

Why all this fuss and controversy
as to whether it was Cook or Peary,
or either of them, or both, that dis
covered the north pole? Surely the
center of the earth is as important as
either extremity; and the Zuni Indi-
ans have the center safely corralled
and appropriately upon their reserva-
ton.
In the Zuni cosmogOny, the earth is
conceived of as fiat and shaped like a
pancake. Being a chosen people of
the gods, they were commanded early
in their tribal career to go to the ex-
act center of the world, and there
build their homes; and one of the
most interesting legends of the people
relates the story of their wandering
in search of the Middle Place." and
tells how they knew it when they
reached it. 1t is about 200 yards south
of their village, in western New Mexi-
co, IS miles south of Gallup, on the
Santa Fe route. 1t is marked by a
crude shrine, built like a bake oven,
out of fiat stones. Two large remov-
able flagstones close the entrance,
which faces the rising sun. On the
top are number of concretionary for
nations, known to the Indians as
thunder stones" In the interior are
large numbers of feather-tufted prayer
sticks, and several earthenware YES
sells filed with sacred meal. Numerous

sKEPTIC SON LOST FORTUNE

Because his son Joshua could never
be induced to believe in the Bible as
a Divinely inspired writing, but looked
upon it simply as the work of a good
ancient novelist, the father, David Ba-
ker of Collins, Miss, cut him off in his
will with five dollars, while to each of
his other children he left fortune.
David Bakers last will and tesla
ment adds the final chapter to the his
tory of unique character. Two years
ago he began making cement blocks,
and as each one dried he laid it with
elaborate ceremony on the walls of 4
house. A few weeks ago the last one
was put in place and a roof added, and
a six-room bungalow was ready for
himself and wife. Then in few days
his wife died, and Baker, heartbroken
over her death and the uselessness OF
two years spent in building a home,
followed her to the grave.

QUEENS USE TYPEWRITERs

1t IS related that in passing through
her husbands library, the attention of
the empress of Japan was attracted
by peculiar looking machine. On
learning that it was a typewriter and
having it explained to her she became
interested and began to hit the keys.
Now, it is said, she does a good deal
of correspondence for the emperor. 1t
is further reported that Queen Alex
andra of England, Queen Maud of
Norway, the czarina and the queen of
Portugal are all fond of using the
typewriter in correspondence with
their intimates. 1t is probable that
all of them put together do not use
the machine as much as Carmen
Sylvia, the queen OF Roumania, who
rattles off her poems and stories on a
typewriter.

man in the window looks out and
yells: "Sh-h-h-, you BEAST" The dog
continues to howl. The man again
comes to the window and this time
hurls shoe at the dog. Still the
animal bowls. Another shoe follows.
The next day the mans wife goes
around in her stocking feet because
she can't find her shoes. The man
hasn't the price of another pair of
shoes for her, and the next night the
dog bowls louder than ever.
