The Two Georgia.

OMAHA, Feb. ALTO the Editor of The
Bee: 1t may be Of interest at the snnivers-
airy Of the birth of Washington to print for
your readers the following extract which
Wiifred Powell, British consul in Philadel-
phia, states is taken from an English school
book:
GEORGE III.
In the eighteenth century there were born
two boys, both Of whom were christened
kings. One was born Of German parents; he
married a German wife, and all his life he
was German In his ideas. He was George,
the grandson of George II, who came to
the British throne in 1760. The other boy
was born in the British colonies in Amer
lea. He was OF good English family, he
had a good English education, he became a
gallant officer in the British army, and he
was all his life full of the English ideas OF
liberty, independence and self-govern1ent,
The name of this George was Washington.
the eighteenth century, and he was not
the less an Engllshman because he was
born in the British colonies of America.
The two boys grew up to be men, The
German George was king of Britain; the
English George was one Of his loyal Amer
lean subjects.
The king, VINO was obstinate and proud
and who had ministers who were false To
English ideas Of liberty. said they would
compel the American colonists to pay taxes
without asking their consent. Now, e
ldh y Lhhn pay taxes WITHOUT MS ledVe IL
tyranny. The German George said he
would make the Americans pay Britain
was strong. The American c~olonists were
only a handful Of wretched farmers. He
would send his army and make them pay
But the English George, whom we know as
Washington, and most of the other British
subjects In the American colonies, said thai
they were too true to English liberty tc
pay taxes to which they had not consented
So when the king sent them taxed tea they
threw the tea into Boston harbor, anC
when he sent his soldiers they stood w
against hen and fought them. At frs
they were beaten. But they were true Eng
fish, these American English; they did no
know when they were beaten. They wen
on fighting against all the kings armies
and often defeated them.
| Then the German King George sent ovel
to Germany and brought German troops t
fight against the Americans, who had only
asked to live free as their English an,
cestors had done; to make their own law
and levy their own taxes.
The English in England obeyed their stub
born King George, although all their ables
and wlsest INSTRUMENTATION, Pitt, FoI
and Burke, were opposed to the war. A
last the German George was beaten, and
the English principles triumphed wher

Senator Aldrich
Would Save MoAey
Government Business Methods Are
Obsolete and Hundred Million
is Wasted Yearly.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator Aid
rich said last night that If permitted
to do SO he would undertake to run the
government of the United States for $780,
100000 a year less than 1t now costs. He
was not presenting a formal proposition,
but was making a speech to the senate on
his bill providing for the creation of a
commission to reform the business meth
DDS of The government.
He pleaded earnestly for the authority,
saying that present methods were obsolete
and involved the annual loss Of at least
500, O0O, 900 a year. At his instance the bill
was so amended as to provide that the
commission should be composed entirely OF
member OF congress-five senators and
five member of the house.
Mr.. Aldrlch spoke in response to SEN
ator Dolliver, who opposed the bill on the
ground that it would create suspicion in
the minds of the public as to the methods
of conducting the governments business.
MIR. Dolliver said he feared the commits
sion would accomplish no good but much
evil. He regarded the bill as a proposition
to enter upon "a blanket -disparagement OF
the government" He declared that the
commission would cost not less than $500.
600 and said he thought there were toe
many commissions in the field already.
Mr.. Dolliver said he did not know what
was the motive for the legislation.
II know that the executiVk departments
are taking much interest in, us. these days. -
he said. I'VE have fallen on times when
much interest is taken by the departments
in the details of legislation. but 1 DOM
know whether the object of thei pending
bill is that of the relation or reciprocity. .
In his speech Mr.. Aldrich said he did
not desire to serve on the proposed com.
mission. He spoke at length of thu dupli'
cation of the work of the various depart
ments. He did not doubt that ten per cent
Of the present expenditures could be saved
by a commission.
Mr.. Money regarded as most serious Mr.
Aldrich's admission that s10O,OOO 900 a veal
was being wasted by maladministration
He agreed tina there should be a commits
sion, but he did not believe that it should
be composed of members of congress, FOL
he had little faith in mixed commissions
Mr.. Carter traced the present evils
largely to the ambition of departmental
officials. AS going to show the inadequate
methods of the departments he said thai
the postal commission was unable to as
certain from the books of the postoffict
department lne Gust VI O"'iyi"e eo so
ond class mails when 1t e~ndeavored to dc
so a few years ago.
Mr.. Newlands advocated a commission
to be appointed by the president. Mr.
Bristow expressed the opinion that tbs
committee on public expenditures SHOULD
do the work which 1t is proposed to i'm
pose upon a commission. He said that I
looked as though the committee is anxious
to avoid the duty to perform which It ha'
been created He did not believe that an!
practical results would follow the work o
the investigation.
The senate did not conclude consideration
OF the bill. OBJ

Hard Coal Trust
Case is Argued
in Philadelphia
Counsel for Government Unfolds AL
legged iniquities of the Anthra-
cite Combine.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 22-Standing in
the United states circuit for five hours
yesterday James c. McReynolds, special as
sistant to the United States attorney-gen-
eral unfolded the alleged ~iniduitics OF the
so-called anthracite coal trust and charged
that seven Of the nine coa;-carrylng rail-
roads entering the hard coal fields OF Penn
sylvania are in a conspiracy to stifle trade.
on behalf OF the government he asked the
court to issue an Injunction to break uD
the alleged monopolistio control of the do
nestle fuel and also pleaded thai the ac-
QUESTIONS by some Of the railroads Of stock
in competing railroads and coal companies
be declared a violation of the provision of
the Sherman antitrust law.
Mr.. McReynolds laid great stress on the
part the Temple Iron company has played
in the coal fields, declaring that it's organi-
cation clearly showed a conspiracy among
the coal roads to control the anthracite
trade to tidewater at New York. When
Independent mining companies, firing of
high freight rates, proposed building an
Independent railroad to New York, govern
ment counsel said, the Temple Iron COM
pany, a small concern, with a limitless
charter in Pennsylvania. was purchased
by the anthracite coal carrying roads, they
taking stock in proportion to the quantity
of coal handled by them. The Temple
company in turn acquired the largest of
the Independent mines and the proposed
railroad to tidewater never was built.
This act, Mr.. McReynolds said, was one
step in the alleged scheme to stitle inter
state m in the coal trade.
HI also told Of the acquisition by the
Reading company, a holding concern, OF
the Reading railway and the Reading
Coal and Iron company, and of the &C
QUESTION by the Reading company Of the
Jersey Central railroad, a competing line tC
New York harbor, which in turn owned the
Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal company
This Readlng-Jersey Central combination
he said, owned sixty-three of the unminet
coal mines in the anthracite regions anC
was another step in the conspiracy, Mr.
McReynolds will conclude his argumen

Railroads Ask
for Square Deal
Pamphlet Issued by 1S9 Lines Says
Pay for Carrying the Mails is
Tnadenuata

CHICAGO, Feb. ga square deaI' is
asked for in a pamphlet issued by lS9 rail-
roads and made public here yesterday In
connection with the discussion over rates
for handling the United States mail. The
statement is made that during 1906 and
1907 the pay to the railroads for transport
ing the mail was reduced Ss,5OO,OOO annually
and that this reduction brings the q be-
low the mark where It is remunerattye,
1t is asserted that on first class mail the
government receives a revenue of "a cents
per pound: that the total expense OF hand
ling this was 1892 cents and of this only
$50 cents was given to the railroads. The
pamphlet quotes figures to show that in
both first and second class mail the
government pays for transportation an
amount which allows the railroads no
profit.
The pamphlet was prepared by a com
mlttee composed Of ]. Kruttschnitt for the
Hartman lines, Lucius Tuttfe OF the Bos-
ton & Maine. Ralph Peters OF the Long
Island. c. A. WickersRam OF the Atlanta

Typhoid Angle
OF Swepe Case
Grand Jury Will Begin Investigation
of this Phase of Kansas City Mys-
terry Today.

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 22.-To determine,
IL possible, the cause of the typhoid fever
epidemic that attacked the Swope home
stead, the grand jury now investigating
the deaths of Thomas H. and Chrisman
Swope will begin the examination of wit
nesses soon.
The first step toward delving into the
fever angle OF the case was taken today
when Miss Belle Dickson, a governess, and
Miss Georgia Compton, a seamstress, were
subpoenaed to appear before the inquisi-
torial body tomorrow. Both women were
employed In the Swope home and were
stricken with typhoid.
1t was thought at least one of these wit
nesses would be examined today, but as
the testimony of Miss Margaret Swope and
OF Mrs. Logan o. Swope was longer than
had been expected, neither Miss Dickson
nor Miss Compton was called.
The grand jury is said practically to have
completed its inquiry into the deaths OF
Thomas II. and Of Chrisman Swope. The
reports Of the three Chicago scientists who
examined the visceras of the two men was
the most important testimony heard regard
ing this phase of the case.
II a further investigation Of the vital or
gans of the dead men reveals highly I'm
portant evidence the grand jury will be
notified by the scientists. But it is gen
orally accepted that the inquiry insofar as
poison is concerned Is at an end.
An agreement whereby Mrs. Logan Swopt
is to appear before an attorney Wednesday
morning and give her deposition in the
Islander suit brought by DIR. B. G. Hyde
was reached today after a stormy session
between attorneys representing Mr.. Hyde
and the legal representatives OF the Swopt
estate. DR.. Hyde's attorneys objected tC
delaying the taking OF the deposition. Mis-.
Margaret Swope and Miss Lucy Lee Swop,
will give their dispositions on succeeding
days following Mrs. Swope's.
