Fisherman Left to Decide.

Washington-In the effort to avoid
the necessity for convening at this
time the board of experts appointed
under the terms of the award of The
HaguesTribunal relative to the New
foundland fisheries by invitation of the
State department, a number of repre-
sentatives of the board of trade and
the Master Mariners association of
Gloucester, Mass, appeared in the de-
partment. If they will accept as sat
isfactory the regulations for the fish
cries laid down by the Newfoundland
ers, it will be unnecessary to call a
meeting of the international board of
experts.

GENERAL NEWS OF NATIONAL HAPPENINGS
AFTER TOBACCO TRUST.
Government Begins Final Effort tc
Dissolve Big Combine.


! Washington-Before the court of
last resort Saturday began the final le-
gal battle for life of the American To-
bacco company and its subsidiaries.
High priced corporation lawyers
matched wits with the governments
trust busters in struggle to deter
mine whether the Sherman antitrust
law is invalid or whether it has the
power to crush the tobacco trust.
On the outcome of the fight depends
the life or death of the vast corpora
tion, with an invested capital of more
than $400, 900, 900, or the emasculation
of the Sherman law, which would null
ify the governments strongest weap-
on against corporate aggression.
Attorney General George Wicker
sham and Special Attorney ]. C. Rey-
nolds commanded the forces of the
government.
Attorneys John G. johnson and Will
liam B. Hornblower represented the
tobacco company. To Johnson, as
chief counsel for the appellant fell the
duty of making the opening argument,
and his legal defense of the accused
corporation consumed by far the
greater part of the day.
The tobacco trust suit was brought
by the government against the Amer
lean cTobacco company, its officers, d.
rectors, and affiliated corporations for
the purpose of seeking to prevent and
restrain monopoli es in tobacco and re-
lated commodities, alleged to be
conducted in violation of the Sherman
antitrust law and certain provisions of
the Wilson tariff act.

PACIFIC TO BE DEFENDED.
Taft Promises Delegation More Coast
Defense Vessels.

WASHINGTON - Representatives
Ellis and Haley, with Senator Jones
and Representative Humphrey and
several members of the California
delegation had a long conference with
President Taft regarding the neces-
sity for better protection of the Pa
cific Coast. Particularly they ap-
pealed for more submarines and
torpedo boats.
The upshot of the conference was
that both the President and Secre-
tary Meyer expressed themselves fav-
orably upon the demand of the Pa
citic Coast delegation and legislation
will be drafted and formally recon-
mended by the Secretary of the Navy
authorizing an increased number of
coast defense vessels for the Pacific
Coast.

BRITAIN IS ALARMED
Crimes Of Aliens Cause Demand
for Restriction Of immigration.
Tory Factions Wrange-Turn on
5afour--Irish 5ogey to Furnish
RaIylng Cry.

London, Jan. Though there are
indications of the coming fierce polit
ical struggle when Parliament re-op-
ems at the end of January, all topics
for the moment are submerged by
the recent battle in Stepney, in which
all of the military forces in London
were called out to capture a house
held by two robbers.
Public opinion, on the whole, JUS
titles the tactics of Winston Church
i'll, the Home Secretary, and the
police. The British approval is made
the more certain by the self-compla-
cent criticisms of the German press.
All the same, the spectacle of two
desperadoes keeping such a vast
force at bay produces a misgiving
amounting almost, in some quarters,
to panic. Some of the English
see in every foreigner in the East of
London a potential anarchist and
the mysterious murder on Clapham
Common, with the initial letter "S'
carved on the cheeks of the dead, in
creases the tendency to believe it a
widespread and powerful assassin
and anarchist organization.
Party politics, of course, enters in
to the controversy. The Tories are
accusing the Liberals Of reducing the
act of Parliament against aliens to
nothing, while the Liberals retort
that the defect lies in the acts them
selves, which we're clumsily contrived
by the Tories when they we're in
power.
There is a general call for a great
er restriction of alien immigration,
but few will attempt to answer the
unanswerable objections to any pos
sibility of such a code of restric-
tions as could keep. out any but an
infinitesimal number of real crimin-
ais without including great mass of
deserving ones and destroying Eng

VENUS HAS SNAKES.
Professor Pickering, of Harvard,
Supports Views of Coast Man.

mbridge.-Professor William H.
Pickering, of Harvard observatory, is
interested in the recent statement of
DR.. j. j. See, of Mare Island observ-
atory, ahat higher forms of life exist
on the planet Venus.
The Harvard Savant has held ten
tatively for many years that animal
life has been in existence on Venus
and that the surface of the planet is
composed principally of steaming
swamps which abound with reptilian
creatures of antediluvian periods.
The professor also has certain the
ories on the geographical proclivities
on the moon, but does not care to
discuss them. Concerning Venus,
Professor Pickering says:
Certainly there are many physical
reasons for thinking that if any other
planet besides the earth is inhabited
it is probably Venus. 1t is about the
same size as the earth and its density
is about the same. Venus seems
more capable of supporting life than
any other planet except the earth.

scribes Clay as being the possessor
of remarkably long ears and prodi-

was sitting, book in hand, with feet
elevated, leaning against a tree. He
would always stop and converse pleas
antly with young Cooper whenever
they met and the latter has always
cherished his memory in his heart Of

true in the case of Thomas H. Ben

lucky to Clay county, Missouri, In
1887. Mr.. COoper's father became a
close political associate and trusted
lieutenant of Benton. He managed
Benton's campaigns in that section
of the state and the great Missourian
was a frequent visitor at the Cooper
home. On one of these occasions the
younger Cooper was tempted to whip
Benton. MY father" said he. in a
reminiscent mood, was a talking
man, and could make a better stump
speech than Benton. At one time
when the latter was spending the
night at our house my father said.

SHREWD VICTOR HUGO.
Quiet Way In Which He Bullied the
Theatrical Manaqers.

Here are the methods which Dumas
tae cider and Victor Hugo employed
when they had n new play to offer to
the theater. Dumas would write to
the director Of the Porte st. Martin:
My Dear Friend-I shall bring you on
Monday n play in five acts. / shall need
Mile. Georges, Nine. Dorval. Bocage, Lock-
roy, Provost and five new scenes.
This extravaganza would alarm the
director, who would put off the pro-
duction of the play till better days.
Then Victor Hugo would appear and
shyly draw manuscript out of his
pocket. He would agree to everything.
The stock company would play his
piece admirably. since all he wanted
was q good ensemble: no new decora-
tons would be needed nor any change
at ALL
So the piece would be read. and as
say musingly, "Dieu. how fine Freder
lex would be III that part" THAT is
true" Horel would murmur. and 4 few
days after he would announce that
Frederick was engaged. Hugo would
then demonstrate that this destroyed
the equipoise of the cast. and Raucourt
Laferrie-e and Mile. Georges would
he engaged. Then Hugo would attack
the stage setting. Old scenes that
the public had tired of were almost
an insult to these great artists. If
Horel showed reluctance at this. Hugo
would threaten to withdraw ais piece
And so the game would go OH till.
little by little, Hugo had obtained ev-
erything he wanted. even TO the
changing of the paper hangings in the
