CHARGE OF COLLISION
SUSTAINED BY COURT
Action Taken in Proceedings
Against John Hays Ham,
mOnd and Others.

Sustaining the charge of collusion on
the parts Of Daniel J. Sully, former cot
ton king Of New York, between the SIAN
der suit for $1.JUOOOO damages brought
by Sully against John Hays Hammond
and others and the equity proceedings
filed by w. d. Doremus and a. G. Du-
bois. in which Sully was Joined as a CO.
defendant with Hammond, Justice Wright
of the District Supreme Court today dis
missed the equity proceeding. This pro.
ceeding sought to break voting trust
under which was held the stock of the
National Cotton Improvement Company
and the General Cotton Securities Com.
pany.
Point Raised by Counsel.
Attorney Philip Walker. counsel for
Mr.. Hammond. made the point on the
state Of the pleading which showed
that Sully filed an answer admitting the
charges of Doremus & Dubois against
Hammond, himself and o,lers. and a few
months later secured the same counsel
Cuttings & Chamberlin, who brought the
equity suit. to file his complaint against
Mr. HAMMOND, asking damages Of ST.
1900.
Justice Wright said he was convinced
the equity proceedings had been brough,
a. the 1nsueauoh OF tne oeIendant Dan
lei J. Sully. and that the answer filed b,
Suliy in behalf OF the National Cotton
Improvement Company. in the effort tC
subject a nonresident corporation to the
jurisdiction Of the court to which f. wa,
plainly not subject, had been prepared
and filed at the instance Of the pIaintifr:
or their representatives.
Not in Accord With Equity.
The court, said 1t was not necessar,
to decide which. but the answer havins
been so filed at the instance OF tn.

court said the only conclusion to b,
reached was that the bill should b,
dismissed.
Counsel for the plaintiffs and Mr.

firing of salutes. On United States warships,
where guns of every caliber are at hand, from
which to pick and choose the saluting Is
usually lone with three-pounders and on shore
light artillery or field pieces of about the same
dimensions are utilized.
A salute should consist of a specific number
Of discharges having a certain significance,
and one or another of these regulation salutes
are fired when the noise-making is in the
hands of regular or volunteer soldiery, but in
dependent gun crews recruited for the Fourth
continue to claim extensive license in this
respect. There are several different salutes
as prescribed in Uncle Sans books of regu-
lations that may be adopted for the Fourth
of July greeting. Perhaps the most extern
sively used of all is the American salute Of
one gun for every state in the Union. By
allowing an interval Of a minute and a half be-
tween discharges this salute can be strung
out for more than an hour and at half-minute
intervals, which is slow enough to suit most
persons, 1t enables an interval Of booming that
exceeds twenty minutes.
Another salute that is used on this holiday
and that is appropriate to the occasion is the
old Federal salute Of thirteen guns-one for
each Of the thirteen original states. This sa-
lutte is no longer used to any great extent
on other ceremonial occasions, but 1t comes

the Fourth of July salutes for noise making
was genuine fun for the men who did it years
ago, whereas 1t Is no more nor less than a
detail OF the days work for Uncle Sans gun
ners. Indeed it may surprise some of our
readers to learn that there are artillerymen
in our regular army and men-o'war's-men on
our naval vessels who thoroughly detest the
roar of the big guns. 1t is not that they are
afraid or are lacking in experience, for some
Of these men have been in the service for
years and have repeatedly faced death in a
variety Of forms and yet many a veteran
never gets over his dislike Of the din at close
range.
But then the enthusiastic crowds that on
the Fourth of July hear the echoing salutes
in the distance have no idea of the shocks
administered to the men behind the gun when
a shooting iron" of any size let's go. The
strain of waiting for each report and bracing
himself to Withstand 1t is also a severe tax
on the nervous system of the gunner, to say
nothing of the unpleasant experience that fol
lows the discharge when the gunner is struck
in the face as though by a sharp gust of wind
and sustains a Earring, particularly of the
spine, which may force him to have a me-
mento all the remainder Of the day in the
form of a severe headache. OF course guns
of the largest size are never employed in the

The best-known of all the American hero
ines of battle is Molly Pitcher, the story Of
whose adventures, especially on the battle
field at Monmouth, is one Of the most pictur-
esque incidents of the revolutionary war. The
early life of Molly is somewha vague. She
n supposed to have been born at Carlisle, Pa,
October 10, 1744. Her right name was Mary
Ludwig, and while the soldiers were only ia
millar with her first name, calling her Molly,
they soon applied the second, because wher-
ever they saw Molly they also saw the pitcher
with which she carried water to the sick and
wounded in the cS@mps.
Several writer's say Molly came to this coun-
try from Germany with her parents, who were
among the Palatines. The first information
we have of her is that she was employed as a
maid in the family Of General Irvine at Car
isle, and on July "a, 1863, was married to-
John Hays, a barber. Her husband was com
missioned a gunner in Pr0ptor's First Pennsyl-
vania artillery, Continental line. December 1,
ITS, and Molly followed him to the field. This
was a common thing for the wives of private
soldiers to do, their time being passed in
laundering for the officers.
At, the assault at Fort Clinton she showed
much pluck and also the following year in

the important battle of Monmouth, N. ]. In
the latter battle her husband, a gunner, had
fallen, when she sprang to his place and fired
the cannon.
Molly had been carrying water to the sol
diers from a spring, the mercury being at So
degrees in the shade. AS no one was able to
take his place when he became incapacitated,
it is said she dropped her pail, seized the
rammer, and vowed that she would avenge
his death. She proved an excellent substi-
tute, her courage exciting the admiration Of
all, and on the following morning, In her soiled
garments, General Greene presented her to
Washington, who praised her gallantry and
commissioned her a sergeant.
1t is related she received many presents
from the French officers and that she would
sometimes pass along the French lines, cooked
hat in hand, and would get it almost filled with
coins. She is said to have served In the army
nearly eight years in all. She was placed on
the list of half-pay officers and for many years
after the Revolution lived at the Carlisle bar
racks, cooking and washing for the soldiers.
The house in which she spent her later
years In Carlisle was demolished In recent
years. She died January az, 1928, at the age
Of ~seventy-nine, and was buried with military

by the fact that the number twenty-one Is
formed by the addition of the figures i, I, T. o.
comprising the numerals in Uncle Sam birth

Every saluting vessel in the United States
navy will thunder out a salute to independence
day no matter whether she be at anchor in a
foreign port, tied up in one of our navy yards
or cruising out of sight of land in the open
sea. The national salute is the one used just
as it is on Memorial day and on Washington's
birthday. The salute Of minute guns is pre-
scribed under certain conditions in the navy,
but the regulation interval between guns in
all salutes including the national salute of
twenty-one guns is five seconds. During the
firing of the salute all the officers and men
stand at attention. 1t Is customary for for
eign warships anchored in American harbors
to fire a salute in compliment to the United
States on the Fourth and the same courtesy
is usually shown by foreign forts and warships
when Yankee naval craft are spending the
eventful holiday in alien waters. Whenever
any foreign authorities or ships fire our ma
tional salute, the firing is no sooner concluded
than an officer from the American ship In
port makes an official call upon the foreign
officials and extends thanks.

lief representing her In the act Of ramming

Monmouth become that the name Molly

diers, In their hot and weary march through
New Jersey, to any woman who brought them
water to drink.
Molly Is credited with having remarked
at a banquet at which there were British sol
diers. when she was called upon to toast King
George: When Washington leads his soldiers
into battle, God help King George!"

BOW TO SPECIAL INTERESTS
Recent Developments Have Shown
How the Republican Party Is
"In~fluenced."

The influence of special interests on
legislation at Washington has been q
matter of speculation, and still is. al
though recent developments show that
it extends much farther than has been
suspected. These developments have
resulted from Democratic investiga-
ton of departmental affairs, and to
the Democratic majority Of the house
belongs the credit.
The Aldrich tariff law, for instance,
was manifestly framed to promote the
welfare of special interests wherever
possible so to do, as has been indi-
Gated by the effect Of that law on
business and on the cost of living.
One of its provisions related to the
importation of scrap iron largely con-
sumed by the iron and steel mills OF
| New England. This provision was
literally interpreted by an assistant
secretary of the treasury, and his in
depreciation was questioned. Investi-
cation developed the fact that he con-
suited Senator Aldrich before render
luS LIS uSClotOA WnlCA was II AoNoA
of the New England mills. The same
investigation disclosed the additional
fact that another assistant secretary
was an Aldrich appointee, as well as
an employee of the Aldrich monetary
commission, drawing two salaries con-
trary to law.
Thus Senator Aldrich not only de-
cided an important revenue question
in favor of the interests that he
served in the senate, and still con-
tinues to serve, but also controls inn
portant officials in the treasury de,
partment in furtherance Of his none
tary plans. All of which means that
special interests not only frame legis-
lation but supervise execution Of
laws.

Gates and Carnegie.

John w. Gates is always entertain
ing, but he has never been so enter
tanning since as he was a dozen years
ago when he told the story of his
career to a New York newspaper, in
Guiding his enormous profits on barbed
wire and his management of a con,
g~ressional election in Missouri for the
election of a Republican congressman
in order to save the duties on wire
and other steel products, though out
side of business he purports to be a
Democrat.
Mr.. Gates was almost as interesting
when he told the committee that is
investigating the steel trust that Car
negie was "d~emoralizing" the steel
business by doing a competitive bust
ness. In order to stop his competi-
ton Moore and Prick paid him a mil
lion for an option on his business.
but were unable to raise the neces.
sary money and lost what they paid
for the option. Later Carnegie showed
a disposition to "demoralize" the tube
business by establishing a large tube
factory, and then ]. P. Morgan, Gates,
Schwab and a few others organized
the Steel corporation, buying out Car
negie with a bond issue. The combi-
nation has been highly successful be
cause it stopped the decentralization"
to which Carnegie Is addicted; it
stopped all competition between steel
companies whose producing capacity
was more than half that Of the entire
country.
Profits in excess Of the amount that
would look well in dividends have
been invested In extending and re-
newing the plant. SO that the watered
stock is coming to represent actual
value, but value contributed by the
customers, and not the shareholders.

The Tariff on Wool.

Free traders don't like the reduced
and reasonable Democratic wool tariff
bill. But the free traders are a small
minority in this country, and cannot
expect to dominate legislation. Free
wool would not only cripple the rev.
enues Of the government, but drive
many thousands Of growers into the
Republican ranks. And just now the
Democratic leaders are pursuing
statesmanlike instead Of suicidal pol
icies, and demonstrating their capac-
ity for prudent administration.-Troy
