PROPHECIES WENT WRONG.
Men Make. Many Slips in Trying to
Read the Future.
rom the Kansas CITY Star

From the Kansas City Star
The business of making predictions is
VIGOROUSLY dangerous. 1t is always the
part of discretion to refrain, or If that be
impossible. to make them at such a time
that they will have been forgotten before
the events predicted come to pass.
From the founding of the United States
government. when Franklin predicted that
it must end at no distant day in CeSpot-
ISM down to the time of the late senator
from Arkansas who was always SO con-
fidentiy predicting the election Of Mr..
Bryan, the history of the country is
strewn with prophecies that failed to
come true.
In 17Ss Alexander Hamilton wrote of
the electoral college system for electing
the President, that ''if the manner be not
perfect, it is at lease excellent; it unites
In an eminent degree all the advantages
the union of which was to be wished for"
Yet in a decade the electors would not
have thought of exercising their conStitu-
tonal prerogatiyeS.
Hamilton predicted that the House
would have no small ADVANTAGE over
the Senate in a disputes because it would
be the popular branch of the government.
and because it would have the power of
origina ting all money bills which would
be q strong weapon. But the Senate soon
became the dominant partner and the
House found that the power TO amend
money bills exercised by the Senate multi
fed the advantage Of originating them.
At the close Of John Adams admins
tration, John Jay refused the appoint
ment as Chief Just ce on the ground that
the bench would never attain the energy.
weight and dignity which were essential
to its affording due support to the ma
tional government This forecast John
Marshall made absurd.

White remarked in debate that gentle

Among the many curious things to be

The deer skins thus imported are Satn-

ficient, but in the countries from which
the hides are now mainly brought alii-
gators are diminishing in number. There
are too many hunters and too many
young alligators are taken.
Formerly some alligator leather was
used for SHOES and boots, but now il is
used chiefly in the manufacture of hand
ags ana suit cases.
Occasionally there are brought here
few manatee or sea cow hides, which
come from Mexico. These. hides are
shipped wet sailed. The manatee hide
tans into a very thick leather, cheaper
than walrus leather, but used like IL for
the making of buffing wheels for polish

From Mexico also come 4 few tiger cub
skins, which are tanned and made up

Secret Agents of Government lave
Secured Valuable Information.

Chicago, May 19.-The govern
ments suit, filed in New York today
against the Lumber Trust reveal
the extent to which the Department
of Justice has investigated the mar
keting methods of the so-called trust
IN the Middle West during it's seach
for violations Of the antitrust law.
1t became known today that for
several months secret agents from
Washington have been working
in nearly every State west Of the Miss
isslppi, Illinois, Michigan and the
Eastern territory covered by the New
York suit, taking statements of deal
ers and examining books and records
of the associations.
Neither the government officials nor
the agents in this particular work will
admit that the Investigations are fin
ished or that they lave any idea Of
what decision the Department of jus
tce may make regarding prosecu-
tons.
A particularly bitter war has been
waged in the Middle West by retailers
associations upon manu- 9acturers and
wholesalers who have been selling d.
rect to the consumer through mail
farmers cooperative unions.
Managers of the retail associations
maintain that all their operations
have been directed by the legal opin-
ions Of skilled lawyers. They are
prepared to submit a strong defense
to the governments attack.

organizations.
The New Jersey Lumbermen,s FRO
tective Association.
The Retail Lumbern1enS ASsocla-
ton Of Philadelphia.
The Lumber Exchange Of the LIS
trict of Columbia.
The governments bill alleges,
among other things that, although the
National Wholesale Lumber Dealers
Association is not named as a deIeno-
ant. by agreements, with it. the East
ern States Association has organized
and circulated black-lists which have
affected the lumber-trade in New
York, North Carolina, Kentucky

Jersey, Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin
Louisiana, Connecticut, Indiana. Flor
ida, Georgia, Missouri Alabama,

The District of Columbia, the Canadian
Provinces of Quebec, Ontario, Nova
Scotia and British Columbia.
That as a result of the alleged
.blacklists wholesalers have been al
rected not to sell lumber to retail deal
ers who have dealt with IN
wholesale quantities, and that IN the
case of wholesalers h AVE dealt
in retail quantities, the organized re-
taiiers were directed not to buy lum-
Der from them.
That retailers who have sold whole
sale lots or have competed outside
their allotted territory have been post
ed to the readers as "poachersn or
"scalpers' and in some instances have
been heavily fined or expelled.
The result Of this illegal operation
says the governments bill, has been
to close the o of the wholesale
dealer and manufacturer to the con-
sumner in all parts of the United States,
n to deprive the wholesaler of the
trade of a consumer in a territory
by a retailer except through
the medium of the retail yard"
This Suit Only a Beginning, Says At
tOrney General.
Washington, May 19.-At the De-
partment of Justice it was stated that
the suit filed in New York against the
~so-called lumber trust probably
would be the first of a series to be
wherever similar violations
of law are believed to be practiced.
Officials Of the department made
it plain that there would be no delay
in pushing the cases, and declared that
the character of the operations Of the
defendants and the nature of the proof
produced would determine whether
criminal or civil proceedings would be
brought in the other cases under in
vestigation.
