frightened to move. When the machine
alighted easily a few feet from the start

relief went up
Arch HoXey a Wright aviator with
whom Colonel Roosevelt made his flight,
said that his passenger made a good fel-
iow-voyager for such a trip except that,
instead Of being afraid. he was having
such a good time that Hoxsey was afraid
he would fall out or interfere with the
engine. which was roaring at his side.
the colonel waNed his hands at the
crowd below so vigorously that Hoxsey
called out 10 him:
"KeeD your hands on the rail, colonel. ."

Power of Prayer

Still Live Issue
If House Of Bishops Of Episcopal

its advocates.
The report Of the joint committee on the
subject is still to be acted upon in the
house Of bishops and If It approves by a
considerable majority it is quite likely the
house Of deputies would reconsider its
action.
No subject that has arisen since the con
vention began has aroused so much in
terest among churchmen. The opinions ex-
pressed range from absolute faith in ac-
tual miracles through the power OF God
to unbelief IN the power Of anything but
medical treatment to cure the sick.
The fact that the so-called Emanuel
movement had its origin in the Protestant
Episcopal church in Emanuel parish, Bos-
ton, has had deep influence.
Churchmen take the ground that expert
medical advice is the prime essential in all
cases Of illness, but that II faith in ulti-

Omaha Attorney Presents Railroads
Side of Merger Case.
DIsCLAIMs INTENT TO MONoPOLIzE
Asserts the ObIsos af Union Pacific
Acquiring Southern Pacific stock
Was to Secure Entrance to
san Francisco.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, oct 12.-Judge p. +.
Dunno of san Francisco concluded his ar
gument before the United states circuit
court on behalf Of the Union Pacific rail-
way in the suit Of the government against
the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific and
other railroads to dissolve the so-called
Union Pacific merger.
Judge Dunno was followed by ~ H.
Loomis, general solicitor of the Union Pa
cific. Mr.. LOOmis argued on the proposi-
ton that the object of acquiring an inter
est in the Southern Pacific was not to sup
press competition or to obtain a monopoly
but to secure the Union Pacific an entry
into San Francisco; that the rival interests
were liable to secure the Central Pacific
and bottle up the Union Pacific TO ogden,
that the possession of the Central Pacific
was essential to the existence of the Union
Pacific as a transcontinentaI line and that
the consolidation of the two lines was CON
templated by congress at the time the Pa
cifc railroad acts were passed. The rail-
road arguments will be concluded this aft
ernoon. Former Senator Spooner will fol-
low Mr. Loomis. Frank b. Kellogg will
reply to the arguments Of defendants to-
morrow and close the case.
Judge Dunno treated the subject in its
relation to Atlantic seaboard business, to
tonnage originating east of the Missouri
and in the southwest, and from a mass of
statistics he drew the conclusion that the
Portland route. except for common points,
was an impossible and wholly illogical
route.
The bulk OF the Asiatic business, as
moved through the port of Portland was
not great" he said. such as moved
eastward over the Union Pacific was a
mere incident to the local traffic out
bound for the orient
He said that the Union Pacific line had
been a failure in the hands Of several
managements and was always operated at
a less.
Speaking of the purchase Of the Southern
Pacific Of stock in the Northern Pacific
and Santa Fe, Judge Dunno made the only
distinctive aluson in the trial to the Hill
Hartman fight of a few years ago.
Il am not here to cast aspersions upon
Mr. HILL" he said. Il have no doubt that
with the lapse of time and the death OF
one the old bitterness is stilled, but al
the time to which ] refer il was keen
and poignant,
1T was only to give color TO this
case that these two roads were brought in
at all The Union Pacific had not wanted
the Northern Pacific or the BurI ngton.
There was competition In the territory
covered by the Union Pacific, but it was
not unfair nor discriminating"

HAGERMAN OPENS ROADS CASE
Attorney Argues that It Costs More to
Carry on state Than Interstate
Business-Lndd Defends
Laws


WASHINGTON, Oct. r. - Stubbornly
contesting every point attorneys for the
state Of Missouri and the railroads therein
today began argument before the supreme
court Of the United States as to the valid
ity OF the 2-cent passenger rate and maxi
mum freight rate laws of that state
passed in 1907. So important did the court
consider the case that it extended the time
for argument so as to include practically
all Of the courts time tomorrow.
1t is claimed by counsel in the case that
the issues in controversy will affect state
legislation regarding railroads in nearly
every state of the union. The case includes
questions Of jurisdiction of federal courts
over state legislation in regard to rail-
roads and the proper basis Of arriving at
the remuneration guaranteed the railroads
under the federal legislation The circuit
court for the western district of Missouri
held that rates under the laws were un-
remunerative and enjoned their enforce
ment
Hagermnn Talks for Railroads.
The arguments were opened by Frank
Hagerman for the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy Railroad company. In the time
allotted to him today, he attempted to
convince the justices that the court below
mad used the proper basis in arriving at
the remuneration allowed the railroads
under the laws in question: He maintained
that the valuation of the property devoted
to state business as distinguished from in
terstate business was in the same ratio
that earnings from the carriage of state
freight and state passengers bore to the
earnings from interstate business in the
state. He argued that it cost more to carry
on state than interstate business.
Shortly before court adjourned Stanford
B. Ladd addressed the court in defense Of
the laws. He attacked the Jurisdiction
over the questions at issue.

H0KE SMITH TALKS TO
TECH ENGINEERS CLUB

Former Gov. Hoke Smith addressed the
members of the Civil Engineering society
of the Georgia School of Technology,
Tuesday evening at their bi-weekly meet
ing in the society's rooms in the Alfriend
building.
Stay in Georgia" was the essence of
his advice to them. Mr. Smith pictured
the undeveloped natural resources of
Georgia, and predicted that within the
next few years a number of textile in
dustries will be organized IN the state,
using the great water power now going
to waste in many parts. He urged the
young engineers to go into business for
themselves as soon as they gain sufficient
experience. He reminded them of the
debt they owe the state for their educa-
ton, and advised them to remain here and
lend their talents to the work for prog
ress II they would also serve their own
interests.
Mr.. Smith was introduced by j. W. Ivey,
of the society. At the conclusion of his
speech, John Hazlehurst president of the
society, thanked the former governor for
his words of instruction and advice.

AND TORCH APPLIED

MERIDIAN. Miss, April 13.-Tom
O'Neil. negro, who shot Jailere Temple
here today, was shot and killed by the
officers in a fight in the basement of the
Jail
O'Neil was shot by ofncers after he had
fired four shots at them without effect.
One of O'Neil's companions, George Will
liams, a negro, was shot in the leg.
A maddened crowd of nearly 1000 peo-
pie took the body of O'Neil, vino was ex-
piring, from the officers, carried him to
a telephone pole about a block distant,
where he was strung up. After the
body was lowered the throat was cut,
the negro's clothing saturated with kero-
sine and set on fire, but was rescued
from the mob after the clothing had
burned from the body.
George Williams was placed in a cell
after ONeil had been killed and the mob
insisted in securing him, but no assault
has been made upon the Jail. Judge
Buckley, who is holding court here, in
an address, counseled moderation, and
it is not believed further efforts will be
made to lynch Williams, although great
excitement prevails.
Temple was one of the most prominent
citizens of the county.
