Louis.
While no official announcement
was made that Mr.. Johnson's salary
had been increased from $4,000 to
$25, 900, it was said on good author
ity that such was the case. Mr..
johnson refused to talk of the re-
ported salary increase but smilingly
said that it was personal matter.
He also returned the same answer
to the question as to how old he
would be when his term Of Office will
expire.
This is the longest tender of Office

New York. Feb. 16.-J. C. Stubbs'
general traffic director, and E. J,
Spence, eastern general freight man
ager for the Harriman lines, both
testified today that there was no real
competition between the Southern
and Union Pacific railroads prior to
their amalgamation in 1901. by the
late e. H. Hartman.
The United States government Is
suing for a dissolution of the Harri-
man merger on the ground that both
roads are competing lines, barred by
federal statute from uniting to eliml-
nate competition.
In support of his contention that
two lines could serve the same term
inals and yet not compete for bust
ness, Mr.. Stubs cited the traffic over
the Sparta route (Southern Pacific)
and the Oregon Transportation Co.,
water route between San Francis
co and Portland. The steamship SER
vice he said, was better than the rail
road service. except that it was not
daily, and the railroad in its growth
took nothing from the steamship line
but eve made an effort to get some
of this business" said Mr.. Stubs,
"but we gave it up and quit, and that

ARE INDEPENDENTS
IMPORTANT FACTOR?
(Bv Associated Fress.)

CHICAGO. Feb. 16.-How many IN
dependent packing houses are there
in this country, and what proportion
of the meat business do the: handle:
This will be the trend of questioning
tomorrow before the federal grand
iurv which is hearing evidence in the
government investigation Of the So
called "Beef Trust"
AT the close Of today S session Pal-
rick Brennan. president Of the lnde-
pendent Packing company, was sum
moned to appear With evidence al
ready obtained from Jas. S. jaeger
president of the Western Packing q
Provision company, another so-called
"iraependent." it is expected the jur-
ors will be put in possession OF facts
relative to what competition. if any,
has existed in the meat business.
Since 1908, it was declared by a
lawyer in the case today. the "lnde-
pendents" have nourished under a
writ issued by Judge Grosscup en-
joining the packers from taking ad-
vantage of their position to wreck
smaller concerns. The consequence
was, said the lawyer, that the little
packers were able to buy cattle and
hogs at the same price paid by the
Zig packers and We're also able to
s,li dressed meat at the same price
as the big packers.
This was offered as an argument
that no trust exists, although both
buying and selling prices appeared to
no without the element Of cOmpetl-

quite warm colloquy. Mr.. Yer

During the cross examination Of the
witness it was shown that before he
was called off the Alaska coal land

the department at Washington that
the United States. attorney at Port
land had urged the necessity of clos

later CLAWS was taken off the Alaska

New Orleans, La, Feb. 1.-THE
American scouting detachment under
Gen. Gordon in the Estrada army,
near Mintevosa, Nicaragua, has rapid
'ly adapted itself to conditions and
circumstances. Staff correspondents
of the Associated Press from that
place under date Of January 26, by
special courier to Bluefields, and re-
ceived by steamer here today, says:
Under just what arrangement the
scouting party of Americans under
Gen. Gordon from Panama, is here.

the way here from Panama, having
been delayed and out of funds. Life

from Muelle de los Bueys they fel'

which had scarcely anything to eat
and invariably struck some side trail
leading to bountiful repasts of pork,
chicken, eggs and tortillas. Samuel

eran soldier Of the outfit, although all
are more or less experienced.
Dribbin was a quartermaster SER
geant in the Philippines and his ideal
lnan is one he calls Dutch who is a
quartermaster sergeant and knew how
to draw double the rations to which he
was entitled. If bit of food finds its
way into camp, Dribbin is the first
man after it. He introduced pork
into the menu; also pancakes made of
flour. water and lard. and he paid So
pound for the native smearcase,
which arrived in dirty box. He
drills the squad with enthusiasm. In
a skirmish drill, which he led, naked
from the waist up, he lay firing at

which he refused to move until the

AT the previous camp, Bushby had

with two mountain tigers. He went
unarmed and in the darkness, for

find his return blocked by two tigers,

Chicago, Feb. 16.-"The church of

Such are the utterances of Prof.
Smaller Mathews of the University of
Chicago in an address on the SUBJ
ject, "The Gospel and the Modern
Man " before the Chicago Methodist
preachers meeting in the First Meth

The. speakers. attack on the COL

sensation among the attending
clergymen. Prof. Mathews did not
mince matters. He declared that
the average college man becomes ed
ucated above his opinion of the
church and is no more identified with
relifious work.
THE college man usually has an
idea that his education has raised
him above the conceptions of the re-
ligious mind" declared Prof. Math-

all of his education is hostile to
evangelical Christianity, when, as a

President Taft is of the opinion
that congress intended that the re-
turns, original and corrected, should
be open to inspection as are court
records and in a letter to the secre.
tary of the treasury he has suggest
ed that if the construction which
seems to him to be the right one Is
to be carried into execution there
must be an appropriation of $780,
600 for the specific purpose. Follow
ing the presidents suggestion, Chas.
D. Norton, acting secretary of the
treasury has submitted to the speak
err Of the house an estimate for an
appropriation for the amount stated.
Strong opposition has developed
to the publicity feature Of the cor
poration tax law and the president
and his advisors have frequently
conferred on the question of reach
ing a basis of administration of the
act. The issue now is squarely be-
fore congress and much interest is
manifested as to whether that body,
in effect will re-enact the existing
publicity provision by granting the
appropriation recommended.
