PRESIDENT SIMON AN EXILE
His Departure Marked by Sensation
al Trasedy--Ths Revolution
Trlumpha.

Port au Prince, Haiti.-The revo-
luton in Haiti has triumphed. Presi-
dent Antoine Simon fed the capital
and took refuge on board the Haitian
cruiser II Decembre, formerly the
yacht American. With him are his
wife and children and a number OF
his followers
On all sides the capital is invested
by followers of General Firmin, one
of the revolutionary leaders.
The city itself is in the hands OF a
committee of safety, and there is no
general disorder.
The departure of the aged Presi-
dent was not without disorder, how
ever, for, as he was embarking at
the wharf, there was riotous
demonstration in which the ex-Presi-
dents chamberlain, Deputy Prin, OF
Peremie, and five other persons were
killed, and Clementina Simon, his
daughter, and six other persons were
wounded. The injuries OF Miss
Simon are slight.
President Simon left the palace at
4 o'clock, after he had been informed
that one wing of the revolutionary
army, commanded by General Per-
alte, had denied his request for three
days in which to secure the safety Of
the city.
The General informed the French
and British Ministers, that owing to
recent summary executions by
Simon's order the President must
leave the capital Immediately or
otherwise he would attack the city
without delay.
The German and Cuban Ministers,
who went to Croix des Bouquets on a
similar errand, found the rebel COM
mander there, General Ducaste, dis
posed to grant the truce, provided a
committee of safety was appointed.
In view of the attitude of General
Peralte, however, 1t was deemed best
that Simon Immediately lay down the
reins of government and leave the
city.

TRADE RESTRAINT
IN BIG COAL SUIT
Government Charges 1t Has
Hurt Competition.
SUIT AGAINST SIX RAILROADS
Pittsburs, West Virginia, ksnawhs
Valley and Hooking vslIey--eos-
ernm ant Asks That Combina-
ton Be enioineo.

Columbus, 0.-Suit was filed by
the United States government in the
Federal Circuit Court here against
six railroad companies and three coal
mining concerns, charging a combi-
nation in restraint of trade and ask
ing that the combination be enjoined
from continuing business.
The government charges that the
Hooking Valley Railroad Amalgama-
tons ownership OF the capital stock
OF the Toledo and Central Ohio, the
Kanawha and Michigan and the
GAINESVILLE and Western roads, and
Its connection with the mining con-
Germs named, has crushed competi-
tion.
The defendant companies are:
Lake Shore and Michigan South
ern Railroad.
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad.
Hooking Valley Railroad.
Toledo and Ohio Central Railroad.
Kanawha and Michigan Railroad.
GAINESVILLE and Western Railroad.
Sunday Greek Coal Company.
Continental Coal Company.
Kanawha and Hooking Coal and
Coke Company.
The governments petition alleges
that the combiIat;on thus formed af-
fects four OF tbs great coal mining
fields, namely, the Pittsburg, the
West Virginia, the Kanawha Valley
and the Hooking Valley.
II is alleged that the six railroads
are affliated and that the three coal
companies are also, not only among
themselves, but with the railroad
companies.
The Hooking Valley, the Toledo
and Ohio Central, the Kanawha and
Michigan and the GAINESVILLE and
Western were until recently under
control OF the Trunk Line Syndi-
cate" The Sunday Creek Coal
Company is a holding company, con-
trolling the Continental Coal Com
pany and other companies owning
properties in Virginia, West Vir-
ginia and Ohio.
The governments purpose is to
prevent the change of ownership
agreed on last year when the trunk
line syndicate turned over the four
railroads and their affiliated coal
companies to the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern and the Chesa-
peake and Ohio, the latter taking
charge OF the Hooking Valley, which
is the principal one Of the four roads.
The suit seeks further to break up
entirely the alleged combination be-
tween the four roads and the Sun
day Creek Company and its sub
sidiary coal companies, which had
been complained Of by Ohio coal
operators for two or three years
and which has been the basis for in
Vulnerable suits brought in county
and United States courts in Ohio.

GROWTH OF. COMMERCE.

The great manufacturing nations,
the great producing nations, such as
Great Britain, Germany, France and
the United States combined. have not
more than one-sixth the population OF
the globe. and II can be said with ap'
proximate accuracy that the other five
slxths are TO very great degree
their customers. says the Cincinnati
Enquirer. Fully one-half Of the worlds
population are as yet only fractionally
supplied with articles necessary for
civilized existence. The 100000 OF
people to the south OF us on the Amer
lean continent when fully employed
as some day they will be, in produc.
ing from their lands, their forests and
their mines, will make our manufac'
turers wealthy through their demands
for what our own industrial districts
can output. Commerce is pushing Its
way up every great and small river OF
South America, II is crossing the
Andes over a thousand trails, and
where but one railway across South
America from ocean to ocean now
runs, within a score of years there
will be several other lines from the
Pacific to the navigable waters OF the
great rivers OF the north and the cen
ter. The worlds commerce OF today
huge as II seems, is small compared
with that OF the future either in ton
mage or In value.

OF the great depth of the cut and the

ted that they had no idea of the

PRESIDENT TAFT
INVITES JAPAN
Tells Togo She Should Join in
Arbitration.
T0ASTS MIKAD0 AT DINNER.
TAFT Confident That Day Is Not Far
Distant When Japan VIII Follow
Great Br tain and France
In Peace Compacts.

Washington.--Th official state
dinner at the White House in honor
OF Admiral Count Togo, whose mas
terly triumph over the Russian feet
at Tsushlma Strait made him the
Japanese Nelson, was not only bril-
liant function and the climax OF a
bustling day for the great naval
here, but an occasion OF internation'
al inspiration calculated to cement
still closer the bonds Of friendship
between the American and Japanese
nations.
President Taft signalized the event
by proposing a significant toast to
Mutsuhito, Emperor of Japan, and
followed It up Immediately with an
address OF welcome to Admiral Togo
in which frank acknowledgment was
accorded the important part played
by Japan in facilitating the signing
Of the general arbitration treaties
between the American, British and
French nations.
SUGGESTS Arbitration Treaty
"I entertain the hope with con-
fidence," frankly declared the Presi-
dent. that the time may not be far
distant when Japan will see At to
Join the movement so auspiclously
inaugurated.
In his toast to the Japanese En-
peror President Taft said:
ITO one who has shown himself
great ruler, who has given all OF his
time and energy and intellect IN the
progress OF his country and the pres
ervation OF the interests OF the peo-
pie. whose wonderful power in the
selection OF great men to accomplish
great tasks has lifted Japan to
place among the first nations OF the
world and whose sense of humanity
and Justice can be always counted on
TO contribute effectively to the peace
OF the world his Majesty, the En-
peror OF Japan"
Invited TO Join Nations Fo- Pace
Later in his formal address to Ad-
miral Togo the President said:
81 would, indeed, fail in my duty
and be untrue to my own deepest
convictions did not take this occa-
sion Of the first public welcome to
you as our national guest to express
my own appreciation and that OF the
American people OF the broad and
humanitarian view taken by his
Majesty, the Emperor of Japan, and
the Imperial japanese Government
in so readily and generously affirm
ing in the most positive and solemn
manner that no consideration of sell
fish interests should be permitted to
obstruct the progress of the great
world-movement for international
peace as exemplified in the general
treaties of arbitration between the
United States, Great Britain and
France, signed on the day Of your ar
rival in this country"
Count Togo acknowledged the
toast through Commander Tanlgu-
chi, his aid. He said:
"Mr President-It is my pleasant
duty and great honor to convey to
his Majesty the Emperor, my august
sovereign, the most kind words you
have Just said for him. As for me,
words fail me to express what | feel
deeply at heart can only say that
I thank you most heartily for the
honor you have done me-"

ment Company. Colonel Trexler re-
garded it as the finest barn in the
state, and it was built at a cost OF
more than twenty-five thousand dol

destroyed mysteriously two years
ago, the first floor being entirely of
iron and concrete. The livestock was
saved, but all this years crops went
with the superstructure and the total
loss is about thirty-fve thousand dol

BARS REBATES
ON INSURANCE
NEW STATE LAW TO WIPE OUT
RATE-cUTTERs WILL GO
INTO EFFECT NEXT
MONTH.

A Michigan law 10 prevent giving
rebates on fire insurance policies will
take effect next month and the agents
will from then on see whether they
can get rid of the rate cutter, or at
least drive him out to the open.
This law provides that no company
or agent, including the Lloyds, shall
make any rebate to an insured from
the rate charged for the insurance,
and that no person insured shall ac-
cept such rebate. The maximum
penalty for violation of the law is
fixed at 500 fine, or six months inn
prisonment. or both. The law applies
to all kinds of insurance, life, fire,
accident, damage and indemnity.
1t is recognized that no company
can be prevented under anti-trus
laws, from making as low rates as IL
elects, but the object of the law is to
prevent the insertion Of one rate in
the policy and the making of a lower
and concealed rate through a rebate.
The purpose is to compel the naming
in the policy OF the exact charge The
insurance. may be given at as low a
cost as the underwater will give, but
it must be done openly.
The aim is to smoke out the rate
cutter who assumes to charge stand
ard rates and then meets his custom
er around the corner and hands back
part of the agreed price or makes a
discount entry on the books to reduce
tho rate entered on the policy. 1t is
a way TO have every transaction stand
out just as IL actually is.
Town and country fire, HAN and wind
storm mutual companies are exempted
from the law and the act does not in
terfere with the paying of commissions
to regular agents,
