There have been many published
statements the last few years about

American and Canadian express
companies but no systematic survey
of them as a whole. However, the
ubject just now is being given
more attention and tie statistics
and figures of these great carrying
corporations are fast becoming the
subject of editorial and other

Indiana body further declares that

capital stock cannot haze repre-

The further question as to where
this capital came from might have

ALASKA RULING
BY HIGH COURT
GOVERNMENT MAY NOW PROSE
CUTE COAL LAND FRAUD
CASES.
luRToN GIVES OPINION
CUT COURT IS RE-
vERsEo.

Western Newspaper Union News Service,
Washington.-The Supreme Court Of
the United States has opened the way
for the federal government to prose-
cute coal land frauds In Alaska by
holding that the general coal land laws
OF the United States. which forbid
persons or associations making more
than one entry. applied to the unsur-
veyed coal regions of Alaska.
The immediate result OF this hold
ing was the reversal of the action of
the United States Circuit Court for
western Washington in quashing as In
valid the indictments against Charles
Il. Munday and Archie w. Shiels on
charges of conspiring to defraud the
valued at $10.0O0.OOO. The way is now
opened for their trial on this charge.
Washington.-Justice Lurton rem
dered the unanimous opinion of the
court. He considered the argument of
the defendants that the act of Con-
gress in 1904 superseded the general
laws. SO far as the unsurveyed lands
OF Alaska were concerned. and said:
There occurs to us no reason for
assuming that Congress intended to
abandon the policy of keeping open
the right of every citizen to enter one
tract and no more of the unsurveyed
coal lands OF Alaska. that would not
lead also to the abandonment of the
policy as respects coal lands which
had been surveyed. An intention to de-
part from a uniform policy so long en-
forced in regard to coal lands should
not be imputed to Congress unless the
act of 1904 admits of no other con-,
struction."
Justice Lurton then proceeded to
show that the act of 1904 did admit
of another construction, namely. to
extend the general coal land entry
laws. which were then applicable only
to surveyed lands. to unsurveyed
lands.
"The Legislation. read in the light Of
the situation and of the uniform policy
which had SO long prevailed" JUS
tice Lurton concluded. "of prohibiting
more than one entry to one person.
makes it plain that Congress did not
intend to except the surveyed coal
lands OF Alaska from the operation of
the restrictions which attached to the
sale OF the surveyed coal lands in Alas
ka and elsewhere"
The decision not only means that
Munday and Shiels must proceed with
their trial for alleged conspiracy to de-
fraud the government out of Alaska
coal lands valued at $1O.O00.O00. but
that similar Indictments at Spokane.
Tacoma. Detroit and Chicago will be
pressed.
The substance OF the decision was
that it is just as much fraud in Alas
ka as in the United States proper to
hire dummy entrymen to take up COM
mercial lands.
Munday and Shiels were indicted.
along with others. on charges OF con-
spiracy to defraud the government by
seeking to procure for the Alaska De-
velopment Company and the Pacific
Coal & Oil Company some G.0O0 ncres
of Alaska coal land.

at l30 O'Clock yesterday afternoon at
his home on South Garrison avenue.
Death was the result OF complica-
ton of diseases and also to advanced
age, which would not allow of his
shaking off the diseases. He was n
years of age.
Mr.. Webster came here from keo-
kuk. Iowa, with his family. He was a
retired landowner and well fixed
financially. During his residence here
he made many friends, who will learn
OF his death with sincere regret.
Following trip to California one
year ago, he began to decline, and of
late has failed rapidly. His death was
not unexpected.
He leaves wife and two children
to mourn his loss. The children are
Mrs. B. B. Allen of Los Angeles, Cal;
and George C. Webster of Webb City.
Also brother, George Webster, re-
sides on Poplar street, this city. Mr.

GALEsBURG HIGH
ENTERS TODAY
Manager Ringstrom of Tri-State Gets
Anothe: Illinois School by Mail
Miller is Fast.

A team of six men, all of them fast
and with records behind their John
Henrys, will represent the Galesburg
High school in the Tri-State meet
here next Saturday.
Manager Ringstrom received the
following entries from there today.
Tinkham, 100 ard 22o; Merriot, 100
and 220, Erickson, 40; Temple, mile;
Ryan, high jump: Phillip, high jump:
Tinkham is we'll remembered as the
strong man from Galesburg last year.
He is captain of the Galesburg track
team and in the meet at Galesburg
between G. H. S. and Kewanee High
school last Saturday, ran the hundred
yard dash in 10 %, an exceedingly
good record.
Probably the most interesting en-
trant is Temple, the miller who makes
the track in 4:55. This is a better
