REVIEWS COAL FIGHT
TO TEST VALIDITY OF coMMODk
TIES CLAUSE.
Case Is Filed in Attempt to Sep
arate Carriers From Control
of Mines.

Washtngton.-The government has
started new campaign to bust the
coal trust" A test case was filed in
the federal court at Philadelphia,
opening another fight to dissociate
the misunderstanding railroads from
their virtual control OF mines and thus
vitalize the commodities clause of the
interstate commerce law
That the LehJgh Valley Coal COM
pany, Coke Bros, Inc, the New York
& Middlefield Railroad and Coal COM
pany and the Locust Mountain Coal
and Iron company are not bona hde
coal companies, but merely adjuncts
to the Lehigh Valley railroad, and are
devices for evading the commodity
clause" is the gov ~nment's principal
complaint
1t is also alleged that the Lehigh
Valley railroad, with the object of re-
moving competition. has caused the
Lehigh Valley Coal company to con-
tract at loss for the output OF other
anthracite operators, has transported
the coal over its own lines and through
the coal companies fixed the price In
New York and other markets.
The government charges that al
though the buying of coal from other
operators has been done at loss to
the Lehigh Valley Coal company 1t
has enabled the Lehigh Valley rail-
road to transport the coal over it's
lines and profit from the freight
charges.
1t is set forth that the coal company
uses the railroad company's Offices
and does it's business over the rail
road company's desks.

HEAT CAUSES CROP LOSSES
Reports Show an Enormous Falling
Off of Indicated Yields Through
out Country.

Chicago. crop losses
have occurred during the last thirty
days as the result of drought and
record breaking temperatures all over
the country. The crops cannot stand
temperatures of 100 and lis as pre-
vailed for days in the southwest, and
the corn and oats crops of Texas and
Oklahoma are practically failures.
South Dekota has also suffered by
drought and heat, the small grain
crop being cut down two-thirds. There
have been losses in nearly every state
and even the splendid promise for
spring wheat in North Dakota has
dropped 100000 bushels in 80 days
The wheat crop will be short for
the month 100000. Oats are short
15S,000,000 bushels for the same
period Prospects are that the corn
crop will rot be an average, while
the oats yield will be far below the
average for the country and the
smallest since 1908

TEST VOTE ON PACT
DEFEAT OF CUMMINS AMEND
MENT IN SENATE SHOWS
VICTORY FOR TAFT.
BALLOT WAS 80 AGAINST Ia
Believed Result Demonstrates Rejec-
ton of All Other Changes Contem-
plated Against Measure and Its
Passage as it Came From House.

Washington.-Pres Taft gained
a victory when the senate, in the first
test vote on the Canadian reciprocity
bill, defeated, IA to 80, the amend
ment proposed by Senator Cummins
placing meats of all kinds coming
from Canada on the free list. The IA
votes cast for the amendment will be
undoubtedly cast against the passage
OF the bill.
This action foreshadoWs the course
of the senate with respect to other
amendments. 1t has been apparent
for some time that the president would
have his way in getting through un-
amended the Canadian reciprocity
compact.
The rejection of the first Cumm1ns
amendment demonstrates that this ex-
pectation was well founded.
On account of the absence of SO
many senators from Washington only
a bare quorum voted. The vote was
as follows, the yea votes indicating
opposition to the Taft program:
Yeas-Republican Bourne,
Bristow, Clapp, Clark (Wyo), Cum
Minis, Dixon, Gronna, Kenyon, Nelson,

cue, when the steamer John Mitchell
of the Elphicke fleet of Chicago
went to the bottom of Lake Superior
in collision with the steamer Will

ship company, Cleveland, in heavy
fog off Vermillion point.
While the two vessels were steam
ing through dense fog off Vermillion
point, which is about sixty miles
northwest of the 500 passage, they
crashed without moments warning.
The Mitchell began to sink immedi-
ately, and soon the lake, which was
rolling heavily, was strewn with
wreckage. The Mack, however, sue
ceeded in lowering it's life boat and in
rescuing sailors and passengers fioun-

NEW ERA FOR STEEL
ALL-WoRLD PACT MEANS END OF
WAR. SAYS JUDGE GARY.
Meeting Is Combination of Manufactur-
ers for Advancement of All In
terests in Industry.

Paris.-Judge e. H. Gary, who
arrived here in his automobile from
Brussels, where he had been in
gress, was most enthusiastic over the
results accomplished by the confer
ence and in reply to the query as to
what the congress means, said: IF it
doesn't mean the dawn of an indus
trial millennium, it is at least the tWi-
light of new and better era for the
iron and steel industries of the world
and all people connected with them"
Twenty years ago sucn d conven-
ton working in absolute harmony and
unity of purpose would not have been
possible. At that time the idea of 100
men representing the iron and steel
industry in every steel producing coun-
try in the world getting together and
agreeing upon even any one point
would have been preposterous. The
convention just closed showed unan-
unity of purpose and desire for coop
GRAFTON that surprised even the most
sanguine of us"
Then this is in the nature OF an In
ternational trust, is it?" he was asked.
Not at ALL" answered Judge Gary.
There is not the least semblance to
what is so-called a trust. | should call
the present congress a combination in
friendly association of steel and iron
manufacturers for the purpose of ad-
vancement and better mutual under
standing of all questions of economical,
ethical or sociological interest per-
tanning to the steel industry. The
questions of regulation OF prices, dis
tribution of territory, or attempting
the circumvention of the tariff laws
have no more part in the congress than
a bar association formed by attorneys
controls the individual actions of its
members, or regulates the fees thy
may charge.
This steel congress, to my mind, is
long step toward universal peace.
| don't want to get into too deep water,
but really think this will stop war.
Today it is not so much question OF
honor as it is one of dollars, and COM
merce, if it would, has the power to
stay the hand of the politician who
would destroy it.

A member of the British parliament,
Sir Henry Seymour King, has been
unseated because it was found that he
had been guilty of treating his con-
stituents lavishly." The cable does
not explain whether he furnished bar
rels Of beer or boxes of campaign
cigars for the purpose of winning the
favor of the voters, or whether he
went so far as to distribute bottles Of
scotch and soda. In any event, the
judges who considered his case were
not disposed to excuse him on the plea
that if beer or cigars were distributed
they were passed around by his
friends who were eager to put him
over" In England they have cor

WISCONSIN,
REcREATloNs OF SCIENCE.

The appearance Of a book Of up
roarious humor by Stephen Leacock,
professor of logic in Canadian uni
versity, calls attention once more to
humor as a safety valve to a career
devoted to the more serious things of
life. 1t is a fact, not usually recog-
nized but easily believed, that minds
which are concerned with philosophy,
mathematics, statistics, or other alb
sorbing intellectual pursuits find their
recreation in something quite the re-
verse of these topics, says the Chica-

Bannerman, the British premier, found
solace in reading innumerable French
romances of the most modern type.
