lumber trade of at least twenty states
by maintaining a spy system, black

alleged illegal methods, conducted

called the Lumber Secretaries Bureau

trust suit filed in the United States
Court here today by the Department
of Justice.
This is the Governments fourth
move in a nationwide fight against

criminal indictments already standing
against the secretaries of fourteen
separate lumber mems associations,
antitrust suits under the Sherman

LIFTING FIRE HOSE
BY BUILDING ELEVATORS

The latest idea for raising water
for fire-eXtinguishing purposes to the
uppermost floors of tall buildings IS
to lift the hose by means of the pas
sager or freight elevators. A simple
attachment is provided for afIiXing the
hose to the floor of the elevator, the
pipe being coiled mp in the bottom of
the shaft so as to be easily raised.
In a recent demonstration at Men,
phis, Tenn, it was said that the water
arrived at the sixth floor of a build
ing practically as soon as the floor was
reached by the elevator, and the fire
chief of that city recommended the
compulsory adoption of the device by
all buildings provided with elevators,

ment about two sections behind the
discharge nozzle, these sections being

er a three months voyage, in which
she was supposed to have been trad

here today. Two men had chartered
the Kite for this voyage. They were
r. S. Elmsley of Ottawa, Ontario, and
Richard White of st. Johns,
One of the sailors on the Kite on
shore leave exhibited a three-ounce
nugget of almost virgin gold, which
he said he had dug out of a vein with
pocket knife, during the voyage of
his vessel. The return cargo of the
Kite, as shown by her entry at the
customhouse, was five tons of mineral
samples. Enumerated, they were gold
quartz and placer gold, iron, mica,
plumbago, porphyry, dolomite, rhyo-
lite, labradorite and schist. The plac-
err stuff was a quantity of gravel dug
out of rivers and dry beds in the val
leys of Baffin's Land, which averaged
a quarter of an ounce of gold to the
pound of paintings, the richest find
that man has known since the days
of scattered pockets of California.

joint high commission to consider
questions of difference before they
finally are referred to an arbitral
court, and to the further provision
that this commission should take a
year to consider it's findings and rec
concentrations.
In his discussion of the treaties to-
day, Taft referred to Japan, and ex-
pressed the hope that that country
might come into such an agreement
with the United States.
The whole world looks to this coun-
try to lead in the matter of peace"
said the President THE other ma
tions know that we have no entang-
ling alliances; they know we are
great nation, that we really fear no
other nation. They know that we are
a peace-loving nation.
Doctrine Policy
at is said that these treaties ought
to be objected to because we shall
have to arbitrate certain question we
do not want to arbtrate. There is
the Monroe doctrine. Mr.. Moore, the
greatest authority on international
law, says that this doctrine is a ma
tional policy that would not come
within the words of the treaty. Sir
Edward Grey, the English Secretary
of Foreign Affairs, announced on the
floor of parliament that they were in
favor of the doctrine and that at any
rate it would not come within the
terms of the treaty. Then it is said
that the question of immigration will
have to be arbitrated and insisted
upon by the yellow races of China and
Japan
These things are now covered by
treaty. Everybody admits that with
out a treaty this country has complete
power to exclude anybody from it's
shores that is not a citizen of the
United States. We might say that no
red-headed man shall come into this
country if we wanted to. We don't
want to, because / think they are n
very good class of men. The ques-
ton of immigration can never get into
arbitration. 1t is a question of a
treaty, domestic question, to be set
tied wholly by domestic law.

sumner except among retail yards.
1t is charged that dealer is pre-
vented from soliciting or competing
for business in the territory of an
other, that contracting builders and
other large consumers are prevented
from buying at wholesale; that lum-
Der dealers who have not obeyed the
"ethics" prescribed by the organiza-
ton have been watched by detectives
from the central bureau and their or
regular" sales published to other
members of the association; that they
have been blacklisted and have found
it difficult to continue business.
The bill cites that dealers who have
had the temerity to violate the rules
have been posted as "poachers" and
"scalpers." The effect of all this, the
Government alleges, has been to fix
prices and restrain trade.
Must Obey the Rule.
The bill is replete with allegations
of threats and intimidations said to
have been practiced upon manufacture
ers, wholesalers and so-called "un-
ethical" dealers. 1t charge that the
"blue book" published in st. Louis and
the red book" published in Chicago,
have established so-called classified
tions of lumber dealers which allow
members of the organizations to ex-
tend credit only to lumber men who
obey this rule.
The Government alleges that each
of the following lumber associations,
in addition to the Colorado and Wy
oming, are represented in the clear

day and tonight is on his way to Den
yer, where he is due at o'clock to-
morrow. Taft spent a part of the
forenoon in Omaha, stopping for two
hours at Lincoln, the home of his
former political adversary, William J.
Bryan, and was entertained here this
evening at a banquet.
Bryan helped to welcome the Presi-
dent in Lincoln, and at the commercial
club luncheon proposed the Presidents

approval" and it was drunk in spark
ling water. Taft and Bryan exchang-
ed Fluctuations and seemed always to
enjoy their meeting.
The entertainment of the President
at Omaha, at Lincoln and here tonight
was of a nonpartisan character, but
the atmosphere was surcharged with
politics.
Taft got a hearty welcome in all
three cities. At Lincoln it seemed
that the entire population had turned
out. But the Republican leaders, with
whom the President and Secretary
Hilles talked, were anything but op
, timistic over the prospect of harmo
nizing the party differences in the
| State.
Governor Aldrich accompanied the
7 President on his trip from Omaha, but
the presidential party had scarcely
left Lincoln before there was made
| public a letter from the governor an.
nouncing that he would support Sen.
ator La Toilette for the presidential
nomination and that his decision to
do so was unequivocal.
+ Agree on World Peace.
At Lincoln and Omaha Taft spoke
on world peace The President de.
clared that international peace was
one subject on which he and Bryan

Bryan credit for having suggested one
of the most important provisions in
the pending treaties of arbitration
with Great Britain and France.

resolution was also adopted by the
body approving of the legislation rec
commended by President Taft in his
last message relative to amending the
interstate commerce law so that in
terstae railroads would be prohibited
from owning ships engaged in the
canal trade
Senator George c. Perkins and Con-
.gressmen Hayes and Knowland were
present. Hayes told of the unsuccess-
full attempts to have Congress adopt
a policy looking to the upbuilding of
the American merchant marine by
granting subsidies to American-own-
ed boats, and stated that if no tolls
were charged for coastwise vessels
passing through the canal it would be
an incentive toward the United States
acquiring a large fleet of vessels.

of the County Teachers Associa-
ton it was agreed to organize an
Athletic Association in Claiborne
county. A committee was appoint
ed by the president to arrange for
"Field Day. to be held IN the

arrangements to hold the "Meet"

April.
The program of events, as now
arranged, is printed below. All
pupils who have been in attend
ance regularly for four months are
eligible.
Now, dear teacher, don't wait or
say "It is not for me-" 1t is for
you. It may be impossible for
you to enter a pupil in every event,
but you can have pupils for some
of these. This will do you good;
you need the open air; you need
the exercise. 1t will help break
the monotony in your life; it will
help you forget your troubles (and
you have them); it will be as good
as a new beau. Then above and
beyond all this it will help your
school. 1t will create new interest
and revive the old if it needs re-
viving. 1t will arouse enthusiasm
among your patrons; it will kill

Commission required as a condi-
ton of government aid elsewhere;
and the funds appropriated from
year to year were all necessary for
other works of larger Importance.
"Some of the landowners in
these areas have brought suits for
damages in the Court of Claims,
which, though pending for many
years, have as yet been unavailing.
While it is not within the province
of the Commission to express any
opinion as to any one merit Of
these suits it is apparent to any
one that there must be great diff
Guilty in the way of adequate relief
in that matter.
"The immediate cause of the in
luries is the increased elevations
of the flood heights. That is the
/ result of the central confinement
of food discharge by the Ievee sys-
tenn as whole. That system has
been constructed in part by the
United States, but in larger part
by the various levee organizations
along the river created by the
Laws of the State bordering it.
The case is manitestly one for leg
islative rather than judicial treat
ment. Relief in some form ought.
in Justice to come from Congress
and the State Legislature in CO.
operation. But such cooperation
would be so difficult to attain that
il is hardly worth the thought.
Meanwhile the litigation drags its
slow length along, the lives of the
landowners are passing away, and
hope deferred is making their
hearts sick.
"The situation is pathetic and
distressing in the highest degree
that these people should be con
demned to perpetual inundation
without possibility of reliet or re-
dress, for the sake of an improve
ment for which their fellow-citi-
zens are enjoying great benefits, is
intolerable to any mans sense of
justice.
cit appears to the commission
that there are three possible ways
of dealing with the problem. One
is to assist the owners of the inun-
dated lands by helping to build
levees where that method of pro-
lection is economically possible.
Another is to compensate them in
damages for the injuries which
they have sustained. A third would
be to, buy the lands and devote
them to forestry. There is more
to be said in favor of the last of
these suggestions than might ap-
pear at first blush. The lands are
capable of growing many kinds OF
valuable timber. They could be
made to produce much material for
revetment and other works of i'm
provement in the river. If the
fields were abandoned to natural
growth the land would be gradual
lily built up by deposit and they
might become highly valuable for
cultivation.
"Upon the whole, the Commis-
sion recommends that special
Commission be appointed to inves-
trgate the subject with such direc-
tions as Congress shall deem suit
able to the case. ."-Natchez Dem
