RIGHTS OF SHIPPING
AGENCIES TO BE TESTED
Railroads of Middle West About to
Engage in Fight Before su-
preme Court

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-With COM
mercial interests in many interior
towns said to be seriously involved
and the methods of assembling inter
state freight in large cities in ques-
tion, the big railroads in the territory
north of the Ohio river and east of the
Mississippi and the forwarding
agencies of the east are about to en-
gage in the final round before the SUI
preme court of the United Sttaes in
the fight over the rights of these ship
ping agencies.
The contest results from the anti
rebate legislation. The question to be
decided is whether the railroads in re-
fusing to allow the agencies to ship
carload of merchandise made up of
parcels from various intervals at car
load rates are unjustly discriminating
against them in favor of shippers who
own the entire carload shipment.
The interstate commerce commission
upon the complaint of the Export
Shipping company of New York
against the Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western railroad held that such was
an unjust discrimination.

the workmen.
He said a demand should be made
of the railroads that they pay mine
owners more money for coal they con-
sumo, that the latter might spend more
money for the protection of their en-
plOyeS.

I Especial to The Herald ]

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Feb. s.
Lieut.. B. d. Foulios, sixteen officers
and ten men from the signal corps
and a Wright aeroplane will arrive
here in time to make the first of a
series of flights on February 15. The
operations will take place on the new
parade grounds of Fort Sam Houston,
and will be conducted for the purpose
of initiating the officers and men of
company l of the signal corps into the
mysteries of aerial navigation by
means of the kite. incidentally the
value of the aeroplane will be closely
scrutinized.
1t is understood that the war depart
ment is not at all sure of the merit
of the heavier-than-air machines, and
that a series of tests will be needed to
settle this point. Owing to the fact
that there is little meteorological dis
turbance at Fort Sam Houston, high
winds and cloudy days being practi-
cally absent, the place has been de-
cided on by the authorities as the scene
of a. final tryout of the aeroplane.

Adjust Differences in Re-
gard to Scale of
Wages

fetal difference between them amount
ing to 20 cents a ton, the operators and
miners of the district comprising ONO,

here today in a postponed joint con-
ference to adjust wage scale for
new contract beginning April L.

dianapolis made a demand for wage
increase from 80 cents to 81 ton.

demand it has been generally under
stood that the operators want de-
crease of 10 cents ton.
With the possibility of a general
strike if the conference disagrees, the
meeting assumes widespread interest.
Ohio operators assert that with the
present wage scale they cannot COM
pete with the nonunion West Virginia

COURT DELAYS
SWOPE INQUIRY
DR.. HYDE Prevented FROM
TAKING EVIDENCE
EACH SIDE CLAIMS RIGHT TO
FIRST DISPOSITIONS
New Facts Concerning Life and Habits
of Millionaire Elicited-Re-
fused to Eat Soup and
Feared Death
IAssociated Press ]

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 3.-Court ac-
tion abruptly closed a day of warm
legal warfare in the Swope case when
Judge Herman Brumbach of the cir
cult court today enjoined attorneys
representing DR.. r. G. Hyde and the
persons against whom he has penang
a damage suit for 100000, from talk
ing further depositions in the suit un-
til the court has determined the legal
status of the claims of each side.
Attorneys for both sides claim the
right of priority in taking dispositions.
The court probably will dispose OF the
question Saturday, and Monday the
conflict that waged so fiercely today
will begin anew.
New facts regarding the life and
habits of the late Col. Thomas II.
Swope were brought out when the dc
position of S. w. Spangler, an office
partner of the millionaire, was taken
by Frank 2. Walsh, representing DR..
Hyde.
Mr.. Spangler told of the visits of an
unidentified woman to the office and
how she brought broth for Col. Swope
to eat. Mr.. Swope refused to eat the
broth, Mr.. Spangler said
Took Strychnine
The witness also testified that Col.
Swope took medicine containing strych-
nine.
"A short time before his death, Col.
Swope told sme he did not believe he
had long to live" testified Mr. Span
gler
"It was soon after he had quit drink
ing. He said he did not expect to
live fore than ninety days. 1 pressed
him for a reason for his belief. He
said an uncle of his drank for many
years, and when he quit his death
followed soon.
HE did not have much confidence
in the average physician, nor did he
have much, confidence in the curative
powers of medicine, although he took
much. When he took a certain medi-
cine that contained elixir of iron, qui-
nine and strychnine, he usually took
a teaspoonful three times day"
John G. Paxton, executor for the
Swope estate, was giving his DISPOSE
ton when the order stopping the ex-
animation came.
james e. Vince, formerly secretary
of the police board, was preparing. to
give deposition to the Swope attor-
neys when the order was issued.
The decision of the court came as q
result of the application of Attorney
John NJ Cleary, representing DR.
Hyde, for an injunction restraining the
firm of Reed, Atwood, Yates, Mastin
e Harvey from taking depositions.

CORPSES IN CHERRY
MINE ARE MUMMIfIED
Sanitary Methods for Removing 1867
Bodies from Underground Tun-
nes and Dsposing of Putrid
Water Are Arranged

CHERRY, ILL.,, Feb. 3.-While the
work of clearing the passageway be-
tween the main shaft and the escape
pit proceeded in the st. Paul coal
mine, sanitary methods of removing
the 167 bodies from the underground
tunnels and for disposing of the pu-
trid water now in the lower levels,
were agreed on tonight by state and
village health officers.
1t was decided to pump the seepage
from the 500 foot level into tank in
the $50 foot level. This tank will be
supplied with strong disinfectants SO
the water will be harmless before it
is forced to the surface where it will
run through tile sewer under Cherry
to a creek.
Judging by the body found near the
airshaft, it is thought that most of
the corpses in the second level are
partly mummified. The corpse was not
identified.

DECLARES DEFENDANT GAVE
WRONG IMPRESSION
TRIES TO READ TRANSCRIPT TO
SHOW FALSE INTENT
Court Refuses to Admit Testimony
Given at Former Trial in Wash

terror Hitchcock
rAssnciated Pressl

PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. S.-The
cross-examination today of former
Congressman Binger Hermann, who is
testifying in his own behalf in his
trial on a charge of conspiracy to de-
fraud the government of part Of the
public domain, developed into a ses-
sion of arguments between counsel,
submission of documentary evidence
and long discussion between the de-
fendant and his questioner.
Only when Hermann testified that
on receiving the report of Special
Agent Holzinger he was astounded to
learn that the creation of the Blue
mountain reserve was honeycombed
with fraud did the examination take
a lively turn. Hermann went on to
say that he at once took the Holzinger
report to e. A. Hitchcock, then sec
retaryuof the interior, and laid the
whole matter before him.
At this point Prosecutor Heney
brought Col. Worthington of counsel
for the defense to his feet with an
objection by starting to read into the
evidence the testimony given by
Hitchcock in the trial of Hermann at
w dSllluS tOllI ~ -
Jury Sent from Room
After the jury had been sent from
the room Heney said he wanted to
show by Hitchcock's testimony that
Hermann did not, as was implied by
Hermann, take the Holzinger report to
Hitchcock voluntarily, but that he
took it only when he was told by the
secretary to produce it.
The court, however, ruled that the
point raised by the defense was well
taken and ruled the Hitchcock test1-
mony out.
When the jury had been recalled
Hermann testified he had not been
directed by anyone to take the Holz-
niger report to the secretary, but had
done so of his own volition.
The rest of the day was consumed
in the introduction of a series of let
ters from Hermann to DR.. c. e. Loom
is, g. former special agent of the gov
ernment.
These letters had to do with apparent
Irregularities in Loomis' accounts,
which Hermann urged Loomis to try
and explain.

TAFT SAYS CORPORATION LAW

WASHINGTON, Feb. S,-President
Taft today announced he did not con-
slider an amendment to the corporation
tax law necessary in order to prevent
rival concerns from obtaining informa-
ton as to the private affairs of com
petitors. This statement was called
out by visit from c. S. Mead, secre-
tary of the Merchants association of
New York, who asked that the pub
licity feature of the law be eliminated.
President Taft said it was necessary
for the government to have access to
the books of the various corporations.
but that the information thus gained
would be treated as confidential. He
thought sufficient protection could be
given to manufacturers by a discreet
administration of the law and said he
would take up the matter with Attor-
ney General Wickersham and Secretary

TAssoniated Pressl


NEW YORK, Feb 13.-Onslaughts of
an aggressive bear party and gathering
distrust Of the industrial, business and
political outlook brought about violent
declines on the New York stock eX-
change today, with United States Steel
heading the downward movement. Sales
totaled 1872, 900 shares. A. fourth was
in steel, which early in the afternoon
broke to rs, the lowest level reached
since last September. The price today
represented a break of 3 points from
yesterdays closing, of Az from yester-
days high, and 1874 points from Janu-
ary 8, when the high record of this
year was touched, and of 171s from the
price of October 2.
Interest Centers in Steel
Chief interest centered in the decline
of steel, but there was a violent liqu1-
dation of nearly every stock in the list,
carrying prices down from to points,
with sensational breaks between sales.
Because of the nervousness of the mar
ket, brokers cautioned their clients to
remain within call, ready to put UP ad-
ditional margins If necessary, and many
whose accounts We're on the ragged
edge closed out, taking their losses
rather than risk further declines.
The net price changes do not register
the full effect on prices, as an effective
rally occurred in the closing hour,
when the bears bought freely to garner
the days handsome profits on the short
side. At the low point, whichS came
early in the final hour, declines ran all
the way to 8 points.
The violence of the movement and
the volume of the market, following so
porlonged and extensive a decline as
has occurred, caused the demand to be
regarded as a probable elimination of
the decline, with a reversal likely to
follow.

Western Fossils.

Many of the finds made in western
fossil fields in the United States have
been purchased by the great museums
abroad, but most of them have been
kept to grace American museums.
The Museum of Natural History of
New York, the Yale, Harvard, Prince
ton and Wyoming museums among
the universities, and the Carnegie
museum in Pittsburg and the Field
Museum of Chicago, all have notable
collections of fossil remains. But, in
spite of all the work that has been
done, it is generally recognized that
the work of collecting fossils is in it's
infancy. The fossil beds of the west
will continue to yield treasures for
generations to come, until link by link
the chain that connects humanity
with the past has been uncovered.

on the outside as shown in plan,
with double doors. The bottom half
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1910-02-23

is to let the sows back and forth to
the outer part of pen, and the top
half can be opened for more air, and
also for a man to walk in and out
to clean out bedding and litter. It
also has windows to give plenty of
light in each bed. This plan is drawn
for IL feet high, but can be made IA
feet if desired. One section can be
used for store room to put in mill
feed, and such things as one might de-
sire. One or two sections can be
used for calves, or the driveway may
be. used for sheep. 1t can be util-
lied. Besides the concrete floor saves
all the manure, which can be cleaned
out at any time and hauled out on the
land.
