FLIES OVER NIAGARA FALLS
Altman Beachy Circles Cataract In

Niagara Falls, N. Y, June 2S.-With
the whirr of his biplane motor drowned
in the roar Of the cataract n man
and machine momentarily obscured In
spray and mist, Lincoln Beachy, the
California aviator, after circling above
the falls, swooped beneath the arches
of the upper steel bridge and down
the gorge almost to the whirlpool.
1t was the first time a bird-man had
cut through the air currents and mist
clouds and leaping foam caused by
Niagara's falls and rapids that have
lured so many adventures to their
death.
Throngs on the American and Cana
dian shores gazed with fascination at
the aviator as he rose to a height OF
about 1000 feet, twice circled above
the cataract and then made the long
swoop toward the narrow passage I'M
der the bridge. His biplane came rae
ing over the Horseshoe fall so low
that he was lost to view for an instant
and then winged close to the water.
1t seemed almost to skim the water az
he made the bridge passage.

COAL CLAIMS VOID
Cunningham Filings Are DlsalIowsd
by Land Commissioner Sanctioned
by Secretary Of interior Fisher. .

Washington.-The famous Cunning
ham Alaskan, coal land claims, through
which 1t has been alleged that the
Neutrality-suspicious. syndicate planned
to extend its 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 ONCE, 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 tact 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-
9ress 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
severaf minor ofAcials. Both Pinchot
ana CLAWS were dismissed for insub-
ordination incident to their attacks on
former Secretary Ballinger.

RAIL MERGE UPHELD
COMBINATION OF RAILROADS De
CIDED TO BE LEGAL.
In dissenting Opinion Jurist Declare,
the Governments Petition to
Be We'll Founded.

st. Louis.-The United States cir.
cult court of the eighth district hand
ed dow an opinion that the purchase
Of the Southern Pacific railroad by the
Union Pacific did 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 a circuit judge Of the eighth
district. participated in the hearing,
elaboration and decision in the case
and oncurr in the opinion. Judge
William G.. Hook filed a dissenting
opinion.
Our conclusion" said Judge Adams,
rs that, all the facts of the case, con
sidered in their natural, reasonable
and practical aspect, and given their
appropriate relative s~ignification. do
not make the Union Pacific a substan-
tial competitor for transcontinental
business with the Southern Pacific in
or prior to the rear 1901.
Certainly the desire to appropriate
the trifing business done by the
Southern Pacific on the minor lines
or to suppress competition Of traf1c
which was in the aggregate OF such
small proportions could not have been
the inspiration Of the vast outlay IN
volved in the purchase of the Hunt
ington stock. 1t did not amount to q
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 Fe was not for acquiring con-
troll, and that II 1t was for obtaining
inside information concerning the op-
Grafton Of a great competitor they
chose a lawful way for doing it.
