reciprocity BILL"

congress in which reference was made
to provinces in Canada which Mr..
collins said "had ceased to exist
years ago."

Opposed To Recall Of Judges.

NEW YORK, May l3. - President
Taft came out publicly tonight against
the recall OF the judiciary. In
his speech before the conference on
reform of the criminal law and proce.
dure, the president made his attitude
plain.
Most of his speech was devoted to q
comparison, highly unfavorable to
this country, of the judicial systems
of Great Britain aud the United
States. He lamented the tendency
manifested ,even in England, but more
particularly in this country, to put
limitations on the power of the Judge.

Teton Citizens Protest.

WASHINGTON, May Ia. - Citizens
of Teton county have filed q protest
with the commissioner of the general
land office against further extension
of time in the matter of the segre-
CATION of lands under the Carey act
in Teton county, for which applica'
tion has been made by company In
which A. B. Cook and T. A. NARROW
of Helena, are largely interested. The
Teton county protestants only ask
that 900 acres of the 137 900 acres
applied for be eliminated from the list
for the reason alleged, that the CON-
pany does not have sufficient water to
irrigate in excess of 10000 acres OF
land. This is the project in which
Carlos Warfield and F. Augustus
Heinze were at one time interested.
State Senator Larson OF Teton coun-
ty, introduced a bill in the Montana
legislature last winter, which passed
the senate by unanimous vote. ask
ing for the elimination of $4,000 acres
of this land for the reason that it was
withholding from settlement large
area of Teton county. A joint COM
mittee of the Montana legislature
made investig gation of the various
Carey projects in the state and re-
ported that a much larger area oi
land had been applied for in Teton
county that there was water to irri'
gate.

Returned Open Verdict.

GREAT FALLS, May 1l.-Responsi-
bility for the shooting OF Joe Hamil'
ton, ex. sheriff, was not fixed by the
coroner's jury, which reported its
findings this afternoon. The verdict
was to the effect that Hamilton was
killed by bullets fred by person un-
known to the jury. The testimony
elected this morning would indicate
that the ghouls whom Hamilton and
the Conrad boys were trying to en-.
trap, were on the road after Hamilton
was killed and the Conrad boys had
returned to Great Falls.
The package of fake money and let
ters that the Conrad boys threw out
of the automobile at the place they
thought had been designs ated by the
ghouls, is missing. 1t was thrown out
at pl ace on the road near where q
light was shining. The Conrad boys
continued up the Fort Benton road
passed another light, which they theu
realized was the place they should
have dropped the package, dropped
handkerchief, went on up the road
and then returned. Hamilton was
killed near the second light. When
the Conrad boys reached the fret ligh
the package they had thrown out wal
still in the road. When searched fol
bsequently it was missing and nj
clew to it has been found.
That at least two ghouls were in tn
plot to secure 81, 500 from Harfelt
Conrad for the return of the body o
his baby that was stolen from th
Great Falls cemetery year ago
seems to be certain.

Mexican Border.
WASHINGTON, May 11.-Officials In
Washington were today epgrossed In
questions of intern ational
law relating to rights OF insurrection-
lists to secure food and other supplies
from neutral territory; the extent to
which the federal authority can go in
controlling the expectation OF arms
and munitions OF war to Mexico, and
what authority army officers may ex.
ercise in restricting movements OF sol.
diers of Mexico and rebels on the Dor.
der.
Instead OF m aking an official declara.
alton, the state department indicated
that the administr alton of the neu.
trality laws reposes in the department
of justice, while expectation OF arms,
and supplies was up to the treasury
department to decide.
The war department simply abides
by its original orders to the military
commanders to execute neutality laws
as they understand them, and If either
the treasury or state department
chooses to suggest any change In the
practice, the war department was to
conform.
Thus, at least, food supplies and
merch andise might be carried across
the line. No attempt was made to
decide as to the admission OF arms,
that question having not been raised
Probably it will not be until ar
attempt is made to carry an invoice o1
rifles and ammunition through The
United States custom house.

Decision Of Supreme Court Adverse
To Big Corporation.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-The gov.
ernment today won it's case in the
United States supreme court against
the Stand ard Oil company OF New
Jersey, in that it is conspiracy and
monopoly In restraint OF trade. The
decree of the lower court was affirmed,
being modified in particulars which
Chief Justice White said were slight.
Justice Harl an announced q dissenting
opinion.
By the reorganization of the Stan.
dard Oil company of New Jersey, the
chief justice said there was prima
facie evidence that there was an en-.
deavor to control and monopolize;
that further investig alton made this
conclusive presumption of an intent
to restrain trade. He said only the
question of remedy remained for con.
sideration.
The decision of the lower court was
modified 80 that there need lbe no
"absolute cess alton of interstate COM
merce in petroleum and its products
by such vast agencies as are embraced
In the combin ation."
The court also extended the time
from one to six months in which the
dissolution must take place.

THE UNIFORM
QUESTION NOT
YET SETTLED
CONTRACTOR SAYS MAUFAc-
TURERS CLAIM THAT coNTEN-
TON OF BOARD OF SAFETY is
GRoUNDLESS AND INSIST ON
SUITS BEING ACCEPTED.

That the uniform question was not
settled by the decision of the board
Of public safety at the meeting Mon
day afternoon is evident from the
statement Of Joe We.land, the con-
tractor who furnished the goods, to a
representative of The Journal yester-
day afternoon, and the probabilities
are that a controversy between the
manufacturers and the board Of safety
is to ensue.
Mr.. Weiland said yesterday after
noon that received a telegram from
the manufacturers yesterday morning
to the effect that the contention of
the board that the Innings of the coats
are not Of the goods specified in the
contract is groundless and advising
him to refuse to change the Innings,
but to insist that the board accept the
uniforms as they now are and at the
contract price.
While Mr.. wei1and did not say so
In so many words, he plainly left the
impression that he would do as the
manufacturers had advised.

There was no flare back of the
weather Of the last six days and after
an enforced rest Of a week the two
champion ball teams met I'm Shibe
park this afternoon.
The playing field was still some
what heavy. While the day was fine,
it was more At for football than for
baseball There was brisk wind
blowing from the northwest that had
slight nip in IL and made top coats
comfortable. The bright weather
brought out the fans early. Before 8
o'clock there were several hundred in
line at Shibe park waiting for the
bleacher gates TO open. The line grew
longer every minute and by the time
the gates were opened shortly after
O'Clock there were about 1000 persons
congregated about the entrances. All
first game was played a week ago yes
terday.
The weeks rest had toned up the
men who were on the verge OF stale
ness and has enabled the pitchers 70
get back their strength for strenuous
box work.
The wounds inflicted on Frank
Baker, the sensational batsman Of the
Athletics, by Centerfleldsr Snodgress

APPEALS TO A
ZIMMERMAN
PHiLADELPHIAN THINKS FU-
TuRE Is BRIGHT FOR PENsA-
COLA AND HE MAY DECIDE TO
SHIP LUMBER FROM HERE.

John E. Lloyd, Of Philadelphia, has
been visiting in Pensacola for nearly a
week and before leaving the city yes
terday he said to q representative of
The Journal that he found Pensacola
one of the most delightful cities to
spend few days in that he knew
of.
Mr.. Lloyd is extensively engaged in
the lumber business and was in this
section looking over the lumber situa-
ton. He said that he was not di-
rectly or indirectly interested in lun-
Der mills or timber lands, but was
here to investigate the facilities for
shipping lumber and to find out
whether Pensacola offered any advan-
tages as a lumber market
Philadelphia is the third largest
lumber market in this country, said
Mr.. Lloyd, and that a great deal of
the lumber is shipped from the east
coast of Florida and Georgia, and not
until recently did his company have
any certain steamship facilities reach
ing gulf ports, and that this line only
touches at New Orleans at present. He
said he was impressed with the con-
ditions as they appeared in Pensacola
and that he thought 1t probable that
his company would attempt to make
Pensacola port of call for the steam
ers running from New Orleans to
Philadelphia.
Pensacola appears to have a very
bright outlook" said Mr.. Lloyd, and
with the new railroads, which 1 am
given to understand will surely be
built, this should become an impor~
tant city. AS a tourist city it is
ideally located and I know of no place
where had rather spend another
week. / am coming back after several
months
Mr.. Lloyd asked especially about the
latest from Philadelphia in the weather
conditions. IT am from Philadelphia
and we think the Athletics are the
only real ball players in the world"
