Buenos Ayres One of the Most
Expensive Cities.
Cost of Keeping House Almost
Double That of N. Y.
RICHER THAN WE ARE
Standard Is High and People
Demand the Best.
In Many Ways the Most Beauti-
full in the World.

New York. Dec. 2.-The cost Of llv-
ing in Buenos Ayres is nearly twice
what it is in New York City, according
to Charles H. Sheriff. United States
minister to Argentina, who is in New
York on a furlough. In a statement
on trade openings in South America
he says:
Few Americans realize that the
people Of Argentine, taken all in all,
are richer than we are here. Buenos
Ayres is one of the most expensive
cities in the world to live in, for the
standard of living is high and the peo-
pie demand the best that is to be had.
1t costs great deal more, in fact, ar
most double, to keep house in Buenos
Ayres than it does in New York.
I'm many ways it is the most beau
tiful city in the world. 1 never saw
but two negroes there, one of them
being a citizen of Pittsburg, who got
into a legal difficulty and came to me.
I'm my opinion, there is no other
market which offers a better field for
immediate exploitation than South
America. England knows the markets
commercial reports state that England
last year took $250,000,o00 from the
country that United States manufac
turers don't know anything about.
81 have only to say that the foreign
trade of Argentina last year was $780,,
00O,000; that of Brazil $3.50, 0,000,000;
Mexico, 5000, 100000; Chile and Cuba,
each $500. 100000. Argentina had "a
market ready for the products of the
United States three and a half times
the size of Mexico or Cuba or Chile

The court proceedings will be watch

In the Archibald estate case the pro-

tire estate has been left intact.
If the other heirs had disposed OF

had the right to dispose of his share

Several prominent attorneys last night
expressed themselves as of the belief

a similar case been offered in the pro-

INDICTS z ROADS.
Federal Grand Jury Also In
cludes Two Grain Shippers.
Violation of sherman and Elkins
Laws Is Charged.

savannah, Ga, Dec. 2.-After hear
ing the testimony since noon on Mon
day, the federal grand jury of the
United States district court handed
down indictments early this afternoon
charging an infringement of the anti
trust laws on the part of three large
corporations and two individuals, The
Atlantic Coast Line railway and Sea-
board Air Line railway were each
jointly indicted with the Merchants
and Miners Transportation company
for specific violations of the Sherman
antitrust and Elkins laws. while Har-
vie Miller and Morris Miller, grain
merchants and members of the firm
of L. F. Miller & Sons of Philadel-
phia, were the individuals to feel
the wrath of the government
Dates are given when the Individual
defendants are alleged to have made
shipments over the line named at rates
less than those on file with the inter-
state commerce commission,
1t is alleged that from western
points to Philadelphia the Millers Sc
cured export rates where the law de-
mand the shipments should be made
under domestic rates. This saved them
from one to three cents upon every
hundred pounds of grain shipped. The
Miller brothers put themselves in the
jurisdiction of the United States court
for the southern district of George
through their shipm ents into this dis
tr1ct over the lines of the three cor
poratiOns indicted
Each indictment is signed by Alex
ander A. Akerman, assistant district
attorney for the southern district OF
Georgia, and by John F. Price, foreman
of the grand jury. Immediately after
the indictments were presented, Judge
Emory Speer thanked the grand jury
for its prompt and effective work and
comm ented upon the example Of patri-
otism it had set through the service
rendered.
The beginning of the investigation
against the defendants arose from
complaints registered with the inter
state commerce commission during the
summer to the effect that the Miller
firm had effectively destroyed compe-
tition in grain shipments over ar
enormous territory, embracing points
along the Mississippi and Ohio rivers
and in the south Atlantic states. Pro.
ceedings were held before Commits
sioner Clements in Philadelphia dur.

f1cient to start the powerful maehin.

MAY BE POLLOCK.
RumOr That Kansas Jurist Will
Be Promoted.
Reported He Is to Have Supreme
Court Place.

Washington, Dec at is currently
reported here today that President Taft
has decided to appoint Judge John c.
Pollock. of the United States district
court of Kansas to one of the vacan-
cies on the United States supreme
court. 1t is expected that the appoint
ment will be announced soon.
Should Judge Pollock be appointed
it will occasion considerable surprise, as
it had been announced that the slate
had been made up and Judge Pollock
was not one of those favored.
The friends of the Kansas jurist have
done all they could to obtain the ap-
pointment for Judge Pollock but up to
this time there was no indication that
their efforts would be rewarded.
Judge Pollock is presiding at the No
vember session of the United States
circuit court in Topeka this week. He
has not given out any statements con-
corning the possibility of his appoint
ment and none of the employees or at
torneys around the federal building
have been found who will verify the re-
port.

WOULD CHANGE dixie.
City Wants Earthern Wall Through
the City Park.

Mayor J. B Billiard and the city COM
missieners would like to have an alter
alton made in the plans for the South
side dixie. Their proposition comes IN
the eleventh hour and fifty-ninth min
ute for the county. commissioners
awarded the contract to Ramsey &
Haskins some time ago. Nevertheless,
the mayor and Commissioners Holman,
Miller and Tandy waited on the county
board today with the request that the
concrete wall be split and an earth
dixie substituted through the city park.
The city officials are getting nervous
over the matter of disposing of the
earth excavated for the Melan bridge
extension and the triangle section of
the city park which will have to be cut
out for waterway. AS it now appears
the contractors for the concrete dixie
will have their wall up before the city
gets the made land of the park cut out
and then that earth would have to be
tossed over the wall or hauled down
stream.
The city commissioners therefore
proposed that instead of concrete
wall through the city park, a distance
west from the Melan bridge of 400 feet
an earth bank be built with the exca-
walton dirt, for the bridge extension
and for the waterway. They repre-
sented that sod, shrubbery, or flowers
could be planted on the earth dixie
and make it part of the park.
But the county commissioners, mas
much as they have already awarded
the contract for a concrete wall and
only this morning received bonds for
tie contractors in the sum of $120,000
were inclined to the belief that, even
should they desire to make the cut III
the concrete dixie, it would be almost
impossible to do so under the contract.
Fr7I- - Co.
the dixie and the assessment payers Of
the drainage district wanted concrete
and that that had been the plan and
the contract.
The difference in cost between the
earth and concrete dixie through the
city park would be about $4,000. accord
ing to the engineer. The county COM
missioners thought likely the con-
tractors could be induced or forced to
build earth walls but were inclined not
to ask them to do so. The city officials
left the court house not altogether sat-
isfied and future action NAV result

Pekin, Dec. 2.-Willard D. Straight
today resumed negotiations with the
Chinese government over the proposed
loan of $50,0OO,000 by an American
financial syndicate of which he is the
agent.
Mr.. Straight returned to Peking on
Monday after visit to New York,
where he conferred with representa-

gan & Co., Kuhn. Loeb & c., the Ma
tional City bank and the First Ma

informal agreement but three weeks
ago representatives of the Americans
agreed in London to an arrangement
through which certain English, Ger
man and French banks would have a
