POSTAL COMPANY WINS SUIT.
Discrimination by Bell 'Phone Trust
Ended by Courts.

Nashville. Tenn, April Fudge Ed
ward T. Sanford Of the circuit court OF
the United States. handed down an
opinion today granting to the Postal
Telegraph Gable Company an injunc-
ton against the Cumberland Telephone
Company (Bell Company) because of
discrimination against the Postal IN the
way of the use of the telephone. A sim
liar injunction was granted on behalf
of the Postal against the East Tennes-
see Telephone Company. which is
subsidiary of the Cumberland Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company.
1t appears that the telephone COM
pa MES refuse to furnish telephones to
the Postal Telegraph Company for the
same rental which was charged other
subscribers to the telephone, and In
sisted on the Postal company paying
to the telephone company Is per cent
of the tolls taken in by the Postal
company on messages received over
the telephone. The Postal company re-
fused to pay this commission and z
CENTS a message and the Cumberland
Telephone Company commenced TAX
ing out the telephones from the teie-
graph offices, and thereupon the Pos
tai telegraph Gable Company applied
to the United States court for an in
junction. The decision just handed
down sustains the contention OF the
telegraph company and holds that the
postal company is entitled to telephone
service at the same rate charged the
other business subscribers, and en1oln-
ing the telephone company from re-
moving it's telephones or otherwise de-
nriyjng the Postal company OF tele-
phone service because of Its refusal tc
pay a higher rate it IS understood thai
this same discrimination against the
Postal company is practiced by vari'

United States, and that the above de-
cision will put an end to this.

WITH RoBBlNe ROCK ISLAND
VICTIMS.
WAS NEWS AGENT ON TRAIN
in GREEN MOUNTAIN WRECK
Believed to Have Taken Money and
vaIuabIes From Bodies Of viotims-
c. r. Fielding Under Investigation
Claims to Be Insane, and May Be
Telling Truth.

Special to Times-Republican
Cedar Rapids, April &c. r. Fielding,
news agent on the Rock Island train
wrecked at Green Mountain, and who
is believed to have been the person
seen robbing the bodies Of victims, was
sentenced to jail this morning on
charge of drunkenness. pending an In
vestigation of his case.
Fielding's rooms We're searched this
morning and disclosed the possession OF
a big bunch Of conductors hat checks,
which Fielding is supposed to have
kept for sale to travellers looking for
cheap transportation. 1t is believed
Fielding took much money and val
uables from the wreck victims. Field
ing claims that he is insane, and the
fact that he had large amount or
phoney money in his possession
strengthens his view of his own case.
Employed as Newsboy.
Fielding was employed as newsboy
for the Brown News Company on the
run between Cedar Rapids and the
twin cities just previous to the wreck.
On the night of the wreck, he was on
train N 419, which was but a short
distance behind the combination train
that was derailed, and so was on the
scene of the accident almost as soon
as it happened. in the confusion fol-
lowing the discovery Of the wreck by
the crew of No. 419, Fielding was not
thought OF and it was only when the
Rock island detectives procured evil
dence that body robbing of partc-
ularly atrocious and cold-blooded
kind had been done that his actions
became suspicious.
Since the wreck Fielding has quit his
job with the news company, and mas
been drunk for the past week. The
local detectives thought his actions
suspicious and Detective Mcclure fol-
lowed him almost all yesterday after
noon.
1t is thought that considerable
money, and perhaps several diamonds,
were taken by the fiend before the ar
rival of the relief train. 1t Is known
that Fielding never had any money to
speak of before the wreck, and now
he is about town drunk all of the time
and staying part of the time at the
Allison hotel.

INVENTOR OF COTTON GIN.
Monument to Be Erected at Savan.
nah to Eli Whitney.

From the Savannah Morning news
The movement looking to the erection
of a monument in Savannah to the mem
ory of Eli Whitney. the inventor or the
cotton gin. which project was first
launched by James Brandon of New
York who invented the Teazer gin which
10 a recent Improvement on the whitney
invention is now well under way. Mr.
Brandon. who is now in Savannah In the
interest of the Teazer gin. will himself
subscribe sum as a nucleus around
which the monument fund will be built.
II ia a curious coincidence that neither
whitney nor Mr. Brandon had seen grow
ing cotton at the time their inventions
were perfected Mr.. Brandon expresses
himself as much surprised to find upon
his arrival In Savannah that none OF the
monuments now here commemorated the
achievements of Whitney. He at once
set about remedying this omission.
Suficient data has already been secured
TO mark approximately the spot where
the shop Of the great inventor was sit
uated-the exact spot Will probably never
be known. Further investigation In this
direction Is now being pushed vigorously.
The promoters Of the monument desire
the cooperation of the people OF Savan-
nah In the undertaking. as well as those
interested in the cotton industry all over
the south Mr.. Brandon thinks that this
tribute to the man whom Lord Macaulay
the Great did for Russia" has already
been too long delayed.
The monument will not be located in
Savannah proper. but upon the old Greene
plantation. some miles up the river.

AS a result INSCRIPTIONS persons broke
into the place where the model was kept
and carried il away. 1t is said that many
similar machines were in active operation
throughout the country before the Whit
ney invention was perfected and patents
secured, which was not done until a year
later
In spite OF the universal use to which
the cotton gin has been put and the rev.
olution in the cotton industry which it
precipitated. there is no stone to mark
the memory of the inventor in this sec
ton. where he lived and worked and
where his machine was perfected. 1t was
not until Mr.. random came to Savannah
to try out his improvement on the Whit
ney invention that any notice was taken
of this lack of official recognition on the
part of the people of Savannah and
Georgia. Mr.. Brandon Immediately turned
his attention to the matter of rectifying
this error The result is the present
movement looking to the erection of a
monument to Whitney. which movement
apparently will meet with the most sig
nal success.

DAVID LUBIN'S SUCCESS.
A Practical Economist Who Has

David Lubin. today a millionaire and

He sold papers. learned a trade in the
Ghetto of New York. and at length wen;
to California. There in time he estab-
lished the great merchandising business
of Weinstock & Lubin, with houses in Sac
ramento and San Francisco. He founded
the California Fruit Growers ASSOCIATE ton,
which made II possible, through co-opera-
ton of the fruit raiSers and the railroads,
70 place California fruits in every market
of the country.
Then Lubin became interested in wheat
When he had produced crop he went 10
the San Francisco buyers and got their
price.

said. who decides that price for me?''
The dealers shrugged their shoulders.
but could not answer his question. They
knew that was the days price. based on
quotations from the Chicago Board Of
Trade
Lubin went to Chicago. and was told
that the board of trade received its quo
tations from New York. He went TO New
York, and learned thai Its prices came
from Liverpool. He went to Liverpool

ering crop information from the whole
world and by SO doing they controlled
prices. They got the first information
about the worlds crops. kept IT to them
selves, made their prices accordingly, and
Speculated on a ''Sure thing
Lubin decided that what those men did
for their own profit the nations ought TO
do for the benefit Of the whole people. He
proposed a universal clearing house of
crop information, and he carried his idea
10 one government after another. ex-
planned it to economists, and at length
King Victor Emmanuel offered the serv-
ices of the Italian government to lay his
project before the governments of the
world.
So, in 1905. by invitation of the King of
Italy thirty nations sent delegations TO
a conference in Rome 10 develop Lubin' S
scheme into a practical. working project.
Lubin went as delegate from the United
States.
The Italian king set aside from his per-
sonaI fortune a handsome endowment for
this new International Institute of Agri-
culture. in consideration Of Rome being
made its headquarters. and built palace
for permanent offices. The convention
drew up a protocol locking TO a treaty
tenance of the institute. That treaty has
been ratified by practically every nation
in the world.
In January, 1910. the first normal bull
letin of crop statistics. modelled on the
crop reports of our own national govern
ment, was issued from the institute The
work is not yet perfected, but there is
every reason to believe the plan will be
a great success.

In preparing the mint tea the bowl is
