Baggageman Was Thrown Off Car.

Slow recovery is being made by
Waldo Luchsinger of this city at the
Mercy hospital from severe injuries he
received about his head and body Sun
day morning, when he was thrown from
a baggage car of the c., M. & ST. P.
road while he was sitting in the car
over which he had charge. He was
sitting in the car near the door which
was open and as the train was round
ing curve west of Darlington he was
thrown out by the compact.
He was not missed until Highland
Junction had been reached. The mar
shall at Darlington was notified and
with crew of men went on handcar
along the right-of-way searching for
Luchsinger. He was found in an I'M
conscious condition and was taken to
Darlington where he was kept over
night. He was brought here Monday
and taken to the hospital. He had not
fully regained consciousness when he
was brought here.
He has been employed as baggage
man for the road for number of years.
When he was thrown from the car his
cork leg hit the ground first, it is said,
and probably saved him from more Sc
rious injuries. GAINESVILLE Recorder.

The Presidential Salute.

One explanation of the reason for
adopting twenty-one guns as the presi-
Dental salute is that there might be
maintained a uniformity in national
salutes, Great Britain having In the
distant past adopted twenty as the
number for the royal salute. OF the
many surmises as to why the number
twenty-one was settled upon we men
ton two-frst. that twenty-one was
the number of years fixed by English
law as the age of majority; second,
that seven was the original salute
and three times seven would signify
one seven for each of the divisions,
England and Wales, Scotland and Ire
land. 1t is asserted that the United
States adopted this salute to signify
to the mother country that her child
had reached his majoriy and was pre-
pared in law to inherit the land and to
this end fired the "gun of 1776.' the
figures of which year, 1+7+7+6, equal

announce that we have secured The
United Play Company's big production
of Eugene Waters great play, "Paid

needs no introduction to the theater-
going public. 1t has been known ever
since its initial production as the great
est American play, and the present

lost none of its strength and beauty in
it's presentation by the United Play

IMPORT RECORD FOR 1909
Manufacturers Materials Form More
Than Half of Total

Washington, Jan. 25.--The import
record of the United States in the cal
endar year 1909 shows some remark
able features. Manufacturers mate
rials formed actually more than one
half of the total imports and increased
in value nearly so per cent when COM
pared with 1908. Wool imports more
than doubled in value when compared
with the Immediately preceding year,
having been $55,500,000 in 1909,
against $685. 900 in 1908. Hides and
skins nearly doubled in value, having
been $104, 100000 in 1909, against $685.
100000 in 1908. India rubber imports
also nearly doubled in value, having
been s79,000,000 in 1909, against $45.-
100000 in 1908. Raw silk increased
from S64,000,000 in 1908 to $74,000,000
in 1909; lumber, from $14,500,000 to
s1S,333 900; tin, from $24,000,000 to
s27 100000; copper, in pigs and bars,
from 23,0cO,000 to s30,500,000, and
cotton, from $13,5OO,OOo to $4,000, ,OO0
These figures of increase relate to
values only. In many cases the ad-
vance in prices In foreign markets
during the year has caused larger
percentage of increase In value than
In quantity, but in practically every
case the quantity imported in 1909 Is
materially in excess of that Of 1908.

PLANS TRIP TO PHILIPPINES
Secretary Dickinson to Be Administra
tion's Official Globe Trotter.


New York, Jan. 25.-Secretary oil
War Dickinson, who returned last
week from an extended trip to Porto
Rico and Cuba, has apparently been.
chosen by President Taft to do the OF
fetal globe trotting for the present
administration. His next trip, it was
announced following the secretary's
arrival in New York to attend the an
nual dinner of the Tennessee society.
will take him to the Philippines and
Hawaii.
If a man is to serve as secretary of
war properly it is essential that he be
familiar with our insular possessions D
said Mr.. Dickinson. "The president
has told me that it is his desire that
visit the Philippines and Hawaii. No
plans have been made for the trip and
l cannot say how soon I will leave"
The secretary of war expects also to
make frequent journeys to Panama be.
fore the canal is completed. He ex.
pressed confidence that the ditch would
be finished as promised by January,
1915.
Mr. Dickinson said he had heard
rumors in Washington that Colonel
Roosevelt, upon his return from Africa,
is to take active charge of the con.
struction of the canal.

SUIT LIKELY TO
END IN NAuCHT
Government Case May Die
an Unnatural Death.
COURT ASKED TO DISMISS

Governments Prosecution Of the Ter.
nninal Association Of st. Louis, In
Which Much Testimony Was Taken,
Has No Standing in the Highest
Tribunal Eeca-se of the Action Of
the Circuit Court Of Appeals.
Washington, Jan. 25.-Unable to
get a decision from the courts as to
whether it is right or wrong the gov
ernment now stands a good chance Of
Witnessing one of its trust prosecu-
tions die an unnatural death.
This unique case is the suit of the
government against the Terminal
Railroad association of st. Louis and
fourteen railroads, brought in the cir
cult court of st. Louis in 1905. The
defendants were charged with com
bining for the purpose of controlling
and restraining Interstate commerce
between the states of Missouri and
Illinois and other states and foreign
countries. A special examiner was
appointed. Much testimony was taken
by him.
Then, in an endeavor to expedite
the suit, it is feared an anesthetic was
administered, from which the case
may never recover entirely.
Under the act OF congress of Feb.
II Cd gsnv yts
the hearing and determination" Of
suits under the Sherman antitrust
act, the attorney general certified that
the case was important. But that
move failed in its purpose.
AS required by that act the suit was
advanced and the four judges of the
circuit presided over the final hear
ing. There We're so many judges they
could not agree. Two were in favor
of granting some relief to the gov
ernment and two in favor of dismiss
ing the bill. Consequently on May
II, 1909, they handed down an order
certifying the case to the supreme
court of the United States for review,
In accordance with the SO called "ax-
pediting act"
Now Solicitor General Bowers has
suggested to the court that 1t dismiss
the certificate. He pointed out that
In recent opinion the court had held
that any certification of an entire
case without final judgment or decree
or order determinative OF the merits
was an attempt to confer upon the
court original jurisdiction. What fur.
ther action will be taken in the cir.
cult court remains to be seen.

UNTIL COURTS CAN
PASS ON TAX LAW
Congress May Be Asked to El-
tend Date Of Operation

Washington, Jan. 25.--In case OF
failure of the attempt to obtain de-
cision from the supreme court Of the
United States before March / as to
the constitutionality of the corporation
tax provision of the Payne tariff act
congress may be asked to extend the
date of the law becomes operative.
March l is the date by which the re.
turn on the income Of corporations
must be filed.
The suit in which the point arises,
that of Stella p. Flint as general
guardian of the property of Samuel M
Stone, Jr., minor, against the Stone
Tracy company of Windsor, VT, was
decided in the lower court last Thurs
day.
Much time probably will be required
by attorneys to prepare briefs and ar.
guments and IL the supreme court
takes the usual recess of three weeks
in February decision before March
Is regarded as improbable.
Solicitor General Bowers has asked
the supreme court for permission to
submit oral arguments and briefs In
the Vermont case. At the same time
Mr.. Bowers asked that the case be ad
vanced for an early hearing.

head of New Jersey, Scott Lynn of
Utah and Grover Cleveland Clevenger
of Missouri.
An extraordinary feature of the case
is that these are the very men who
recently Joined with the other first
class men and proposed to Captain
Bowyer that they be permitted to work
for the elimination of intoxication
among the midshipmen. The bargain
was proposed provided Captain Bow
yer would not dismiss a midshipman
who was charged with over indulgence
in Thanksgiving punch last year
The three last dismissals have again
riveted attention to what is termed
Captain Bowyer's strict regime at the
academy. 1t is certain that the cords
of discipline have been frightened and
as a result those who are quivering
under them complain about undue
severity" But the navy department
is squarely behind Captain Bowyer.

SAYS BANKS ARE IN COMBINE
Holding Company Controls Many North
western institutions.

Madison, Wis, Jan. 25.-The state
commissioner of banking has discov.
cred a new kind of trust-a combina.
tion of banks in the small towns of
the Northwest. His annual report just
given out asks for legislation to pre-.
vent such combination The report
shows that there is Minneapolis hold.
ing company which holds the majority
OF the stock of forty banks in the
small cities Of Wisconsin, Iowa. Min
nesota and the Dakotas and that other
similar holding companies are being
formed.
The commissioner believes that there
is serious danger for the general
public in these banking trusts. Hold.
ing companies, he says, cannot pay
close attention to the individual banks
and the risk through defalcation OF
subordinate officials, not directly inter
ested in the concerns, he thinks, Is
greater than heretofore.
