.SLEUTHS DOG FUNK
HARVESTER COMPANIES MANA
GER SAYS HE is BEING CON-
STANTLY SHADOWED.
GETS THREATS OVER PHONE
Declares Detectives Haunt His Steps
Even Into Committee Room at
Washington-Repe His SPRING
field Ull.) Testimony.

Washington-A decided sensation
ton when Clarence S. Funk, whose
story precipitated the present in
quiry, disclosed just before leaving
the stand that since he told the story
to the Helm committee he had been
followed day and night by private de-
tectives which he intimated were en-
ployed by Edward Hines, the Chicago
millionaire lumberman.
Funk also said he had received
many threats over the telephone and
in anonymous letters, and it there
upon developed that the committee
Of the United States which is con-
Quoting the investigation has been
annoyed by similar sinister warnings,
CONSERVATION was caused among
the members Of the committee when
Mr. Funk declared, upon cross-exam-
nation, that the detectives who had
been haunting his footsteps had fol-
lowed him to the committee room and
had taken their places among the
spectators.
Mr.. Funk admitted that he knew
the name of one of the detectives and
could produce him before the COM
mittee. The investigation was brought
to temporary halt while the commit
tee retired and had a consultation
with the witness. This conference
lasted an hour, during which time Mr..
Funk made an effort to find the de-
tective. Failing in this, the hearing
adjourned, and it is expected that the
detective will be summoned before
the committee.
Mr. Funks interesting disclosure
came after long and rather dull ses-
sion in which he repeated the testi-
mony he gave the Helm committee
at Springfield and told again the story
of how Edward Hines approached him
and asked him to contribute $4,000
to help make up the fund Of 100000
spent in getting Lorimer elected by
the Illinois assembly.
Mr.. Funk did not remember men
tioning the names of Roger Sullivan
and one of the Weyerhausers to H.
H. Kohlsaat, to whom he related his
conversation with Hines.

Fish meal is an article now figuring
In the imports of the United States.
1t is used as a fertilizer and also as a
feed for swine and cattle. 1t is made
In Norway, England and Scotland
from the residue Of herring, codlings
and other fish, cooked, dried and
ground. Consul Skinner, writing from
Hamburg, says, Swine are said to
consume fish meal eagerly, and it's use
for ls purpose is increasing in Ger
many from year to year. It must be
fed with care, however, as an exces-
stve ration is likely to affect the quail
tty Of the pork. Fed in moderate
quantities it contributes to the gen
eral health Of the animal without dis.
advantageous consequences of any
sort"

Church and state.

IF our government is to be endur-
ing it must rest on principles of JUS
tice, truth and righteousness, sane
toned by recognition of supreme
being whose experimenting provi-
dence watches over the affairs of ma
tions and of men. There is no Off
cial union of church and state in this
country, but there is no antagonism
between the civil and religious au-
thorities Church and state move on
parallel lines. The state holds over
the spiritual rulers the aegis of it's
protection without interfering with
rights of conscience. The church helps
enforce civil laws by moral and re-
ligious sanctions. 1t is the duty OF
US all, churchmen and laymen, to
hold up the hands of our president,
as Aaron and Hur stayed up the
hands of Moses. cardinal Gibbons.

ALASKA COAL CLAIMS VOID
Cunningham Filings Are Disallowed
by Land Commissioner Sanctioned
by Secretary of Interior Fisher.

Washington-The famous Cunning
ham Alaskan coal land claims, through
which it has been alleged that the
acknowledgement syndicate planned
to extend it's vast interests in Alaska
and to control one of the most valu-
able coal fields in the world, were
finally disallowed by the department
of the interior.
Walter L. Fisher, secretary of the
interior, having approved the depart
ment's decision, as handed down by
Fred bennett, commissioner of the
land office, the last door is believed
to have been closed to the Cunning
ham claimants. Their attorneys have
threatened an appeal to the United
States Supreme court, but such an
appeal can be based only on some
point of law involved and not on
the findings of fact as announced by
the department.
The Cunningham claims have been
in the public eye longer than two
years They brought about the Bal
linger- Pinchot investigation by con-
gress and the dismissal from the pub
lie service of Chief Forester Clifford
Pinchot, Louis R. CLAWS, a chief of
field division in the land Office, and
several minor officials. Both Pinchot
and CLAWS were dismissed for insub-
ordination incident to their attacks on
former Secretary Ballinger

RAIL MERGE UPHELD
COMBINATION OF UNION AND
SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROADS
DECIDED TO BE LEGAL.
JUDGE HOOK FAILS TO AGREE
In Dissenting Opinion Jurist Declares
the Governments Petition to Be
Well Founded and 1t Should Have
Been Granted.

st. Louis.-The United States cir
cult court of the eighth district hand
ed down an opinion that the purchase
Union Pacific Ibid not amount to a
direct and substantial restraint of
either Interstate or international COM
merce." The recent decision of the
United States Supreme court in the
Standard Oil case was cited among
others by Judge Elmer B. Adams, who
wrote the majority opinion. Supreme
Court Justice Willis Van De Vanter
while circuit judge Of the eighth
district, participated in the hearing,
deliberation and decision in the case
and concurred in the opinion. Judge
William G. Hook filed a dissenting
opinion.
Our conclusion" said Judge Adams,
lis that, all the facts of the case con-
sidered in their natural reasonable
and practical aspect, and given their
appropriate relative Specification, do
not make the Union Pacific substan-
tial competitor for transcontinental
or prior to the year 1901.
Certainly the desire to appropriate
the trifiing business done by the
Southern Pacific on the minor lines
or to suppress competition of traffic
which was in the aggregate of such
small proportions could not have been
the inspiration of the vast outlay in
pf
ington stock 1t did not amount to
direct and substantial restraint OF
either interstate or international COM
merce. This is not sufficient to bring
1t within the condemnation of the anti
trust law"
The court held also that the invest
ment of the Hartman lines in the
Santa Fee was not for acquiring con-
troll, and that if it was for obtaining
inside information concerning the OPP
Grafton of a great competitor they
chose a lawful way for doing it.
1.-The conclusions of fact dispose of
this case," the conclusion concluded,
without the necessity of determining
the. question much debated in brief
and argument whether securing con-
troll of the Southern Pacific company
by purchasing stock of individual own
ers could in any view of the case have
contravened the antitrust law.
ION the facts Of this case, with all
their reasonable and fair differences,
we conclude that the government has
failed to substantiate the averments
of it's bill.
1.-The bill must be dismissed and a
decree -Til1 be entered that effect"
