commerce commission: acquisition
and operation of express companies
by the government; or, the estab-
lishment of a government parcels post
which would, if made broad enough,
put the express company out of busi-
ness. Government ownership, most
of the committee members agree is
the least satisfactory of the three
plans proposed.
1t s pointed out by the investiga-
tors that one express company is
capitalized at $1,000,000 -and repre-
sents an original investment of $71,-
$50. Last year its gross receipts
were $2,164435 and net profits near
ly 100000.
1t has developed that any attempt
to bring about a general slash of ex-
press rates will be fought by the rail-
roads. The attitude of the railways
in the matter has long been proble-
matte. but now that the question is
nearing an issue the men behind the
railroads are showing their hands
Representatives of a number of i'm
portant lines have announced that
they will protest vigorously against
the express rate cut, and il is believ-
ed that they reflect the sentiment OF
railroad officials the country over.

reduction of express rates and the
eventual abolition of express compa-

the American Association of Railway
commissioners, the Subcommittee of

the report of its inquiry into the eX-
press business. The association con-
sists of the railroad commissioners
of all the states and is powerful
and influential body II is expected
that the report of the committee will
be practically finished during the
meeting commenced today. and will
be in readiness to present to the meet
ing of the general association to be
held in Washington in October.
A majority OF the members of the
committee favor the entire abolition
of the express companies as useless
middlemen and as "barnacles and
parasites on the commerce of the ma
ton" Congress will probably be
asked at its next session to enact i'm
mediate legislation to govern the ex-
press business. Three plans will be
suggested for adoption: Regulation

London, Aug. 15.-Rioting among

streets in this city today, was of the
most disorderIy character and the
troops resorted to the use of their
sabres in quelling the disturances.
The situation has become so grave

the affair in an effcrt to bring about
a discontinuance of the lawlessness.
Today Premier Asquith and Chan

Asqu.th that unless the trouble ceas-

The roof of barn is the only
world known to a big black Tom cat
owned by Mrs. Ben F. Marlin. pro-
prietress of the hotel at Meacham.
Although five years have elapsed since
its birth. Il has never left the roof
of the barn at the popular summer
resort of its own volition, and once
when it was forcibly taken from its
home, it screamed as if in the throes
of mortal agony, and in pity it was
allowed to return to the roof.
Five years ago, according To the
landlady of the hotel, it was born in
the loft of the barn and as soon as
it was able to leave its nest, made its
way to the roof where il has since
lived. Twice day milk is poured
into a pan fixed on the roof so that
the cat will not starve in the barren
ness of its isolation.
Mrs. Marlin is of the firm opin-
ion that the feline is mentally derang-
ed. soon after its birth" she says,
"it and its brothers and sisters We're
attacked by pneumonia and it is the
only survivor, and l think the disease
has left it insane"

Portland, Ore, Aug. 15.-With the
views of reducing the expense of pro-
duction and marketing and to end the
bitter competition that has previously
existed between the firms effected,
fifteen of the largest lumber concerns

market the mill products.
This action, it is announced, will
abolish the policy of each mill having
its own sales force in the field, one
force from the main office doing the
same work that fifteen formerly ac-
complished.
During the last five years, the fif-
teen companies, in the combine, have
marketed approximately 100000 200
fet Of lumber in the middle western
and eastern states. l.. f. Wentworth

In his mess sage Mr.. Taft said;

In his message Mr., Taft said;
III | signed the measure, l do not
see how / could escape the response
biuty for the recall Of the judiciary
provision which is embodied in the
Arizona constitution.
This provision, in its application to
county and state judges, seems, to me,
to be so pern.ciOus in its effect, so
destructive Of independence of the
judiciary, so likely to subject the
rights of the individual to the possible
tyranny Of poular majority and
therefore so injurious to the cause Of
free government, that | must disap-
prove the constitution containing it."
He then argued that the Will of
the majority, through the fear of re-
call. might influence judges against
the minority
The message continued:
I'm the early days, some argued
that whatever legislature did was
constitutional. But it was soon set
tied that it was the duty of a judge
to apply the law, where legislation
was in variance with fundamental
law-the constitution.
The seeming laws which were nc
law at all did not bind the courts
individuals or any branch Of the gov
ernment. and it was the duty of the
judges so to decide.
Gould there be a system more de-
vised to subject judges to momen'
tary gusts of popular passion thar
the Arizona system? Election con
troversies, labor troubles, racial ant
religious issues, issues regarding th'
construction and constitutionality o.
liquor laws, criminal trials of popular
and unpopular defendants, removals
of county seats, suits of individuals
to maintain their constitutional right
in the obstruction of some popula
improvement; these and other case
could be cited in which a majority o
a district electorate might be tempt
ed to hasty anger and to apply tn
recall to a judge If an opportunit,
was open all the time, with no perio'
of delay interpersing. for the abate
ment of popular feeling"

Toxic, Japan, Aug 15.-More than
thirty persons lost their lives today
on the slopes of Mount Asamasyama,
when that usually passive volcano
burst forth in a fierce eruption,
throwing out great columns of smoke
and overlooking boiling lava, which
ran down the sides of the mountain
and caught the people before they
had had time to seek places Of safety.
1t is believed that more than half
Of the i'll fated persons were either
Americans or Europeans Of promi-
nence
Mount Asamasyama is located only
ninety miles from this city and is
easily seen here. The great columns
of smoke that are issuing from the
crater, afford an appalling spectacle
/ for citizens here.
According to reports received here
Of the eruption, those who lost theil
lives, formed two parties who hat
ascended to points near the summit o
the volcano, on a sight seeing tour
and they had no warning of thei
danger. as the eruption occurred sud
denly, and the volcano has not beel
considered as being active for years
Every member of the two partie
is missing. as is also the case wit
several persons who were hear tn
base of the mountain and who ar
: believed,to have been burned be
: meath the boiling lava, which flowe
= down the sides with the rapidity c

A large number of other person
about the base had narrow escape
from being caught and many thrill
