Old Gold Fields to Be Worked.

The deserted gold fields of Col
conda, India, will soon once more be
invaded by treasure seekers. A re-
markable tale, regarding the discov-
cry of the precious metal in the sup
posed worthless fields, comes to hand.
The old workings have for long
time been incorporated into tanks
and reservoirs. Recently authorize
ton was obtained to start a brick
field in the vicinity of the old work
ings; and about a dozen kilns were
set up for baking and glazing. When
the first bakings were examined it
was remarked that the bricks pos
sessed a yellowish color. Investiga-
ton showed that this was due to the
presence of gold. 1t is said incred-
ible as 1t may appear, that the gold
shown in the first baking IL to the
value of $3,600,000.

ILLINOIS POWER BILL LOST.
House Members by Vote of rs to 81
Defeat Measure.

Springfield, Ill.-Lacking two votes
of the necessary II, the Deneen-J ohm
son waterway power bill was
defeated in the house The vote was
rs to 81, two short of a constitutional
majority.
The taking Of the vote on the bill
was attended by exciting scenes.
When the opponents of the measure
discovered the bill lacked two votes,
they took advantage of their control
of the house organization.
Speaker Adkins refused to recog-
nize any deep waterway leaders, and
amid scenes bordering on riot, he ad-
journed the session under the gavel.
The waterway bill was in substan-
TALLY the same shape in which the
senate passed it, except that refer
endum had been attached providing
for resubmission to the people at the
November election, in 1912.

What Makes a Man Law,

Frederick w. Taylor, author of THE
Principles of Scientific Management"
claims that one of the most beneficial
results Of the Introduction of his
famous system will be the elimination
of strikes. In his recent Carnegie
Hall speech before the representa-
tives of forty Industrial plants Mr.
Taylor said: "Labor's fear of new
methods is only the old fear OF
strange things. 1t will disappear with
time. There are $4,000 men at work
under scientific management. and
tney are receiving thirty to fifty per
cent more wages than other men. in
the same trades outside. There have
been no strikes where the principle is
In operation, although the most Sc
rious kind of strikes have been called
in the same trades under other con-
ditions." 1t has been commented that
in "The Principles of Scientific Man
agement" Mr.. Taylor tells how he
spent thirty years and $500, 900 to find
out what makes man lazy.

HARTMAN MERGER
HELD To BE LEGAL
Court SuStains Union and South

NO TRADE RESTRAINT SEEN
Federal Circuit Tribunal Decides
Railroads Did Not Break Law
Dissenting Opinion UphoIds
Governments Allegations

ST. Louisville governments pc
tition to enjoin the Union Pacific
Railroad company from continuing
to control the Southern Pacific Rail
road company was dismissed by the
United States circuit court Of the
Eighth district Judge Elmer B.
Adams wrote the majority opinion,
which was concurred in by Judge San
born and former Judge, now supreme
court justice, Van DeVanter The de-
cree was entered at Salt Lake City,
where the suit was filed in February,
1906, and the opinions were handed
down in ST. Paul, Salt Lake City and
here Judge Adams found that the
railroad merger engineered by the late
ates in 1901 and subsequently did not
amount to direct and substantial re-
straint of trade, interstate or interna-
tional.
Judge William c. Hook filed dis
senting opinion.
Our conclusion" said Judge Adams,
lis that, all the facts of this case, con-
sidered in their natural, reasonable
and practical aspect, and given their
appropriate relative Specification, do
not make the Union Pacific substan-
tial competitor for transcontinental
business with the Southern Pacific IN
or prior to the year 1901.
Certainly the desire to appropriate
the trif1ing business done by the
Southern Pacific on the minor lines
or to suppress competition OF traffic
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 a
direct and substantial restraint OF
either interstate or international COM
MERGE This is not sufficient to bring
it within the condemnation of the anti
trust law.
This concludes consideration OF
the effect of the transaction chiefly re-
lied upon by the government in this
case"
The court held also that the invest
ment of the Hartman lines in the
Santa Fe was not for acquiring con-
troll, and that if it was for obtaining
inside information concerning the op-
GRAFTON of a great competitor they
chose a lawful way for doing it.
THE conclusions of fact dispose OF
this case," the conclusion concluded,
without the necessity of determining
the question much debated in brief
and argument whether securing con
troll of the Southern Pacific company
by purchasing stock of individual own
ers could in any view of the case have
contravened the antitrust law.
ION the facts of this case, with all
their reasonable and fair differences,
we conclude that the government has
failed to substantiate the averments
Of it's bill.
1.-The bill must be dismissed and a
decree will be entered to that effect.

INFORMATION TO THE LINE
Curious Coincidence That Pleased
Leader Writer, as 1t Must Have
Pleased the Colonel.

When Colonel Roosevelt was in
London on his way back to the Unit
ed States after his African hunting
trip, he went to luncheon given in
his honor by some of the literary men.
Before the guests went in to
luncheon they stood around smoking
and talking, and the colonel was pre-
sented to each in turn. One man
there was large, beefy, sombre lead
er-writer on the Times He had the
fate of nations on his shoulders and
looked as If he felt the responsibility.
When the colonel was presented to
the leader-writer the leader-writer
bowed ponderously. The colonel shook
hands with him effusively, greeted
him enthusiastically and then placed
his hand on the Underwriters shout
der.
Come said Roosevelt to the lead
er-writer, you and l are serious men.
Let us get away from these chatter
ers and talk of serious matters"
The leader-writer bowed again pom
derously.
Tell me- said Mr. Roosevelt, his
eyes twinkling, which do you think
is the better man. Jeffries or John
SOM"
That was before the fight at Reno,
but the leader-writer had never heard
OF either. He didn't know whether
the colonel meant Samuel Johnson,
Ben Johnson, Lord Jeffrey, Baron
Jefreys, or whom, so he suffered and
stammered and gave 1t up.
A few days later he ran across a
few lines in the Times, with a Reno
date-line, mentioning the coming com
bat between Johnson and Jeffries. He
carefully cut the paragraph out and
mailed it to Colonel Roosevelt with
this comment: "By most extraordi-
nary coincidence I find that the per-
sons mentioned in this paragraph
have the. same names as those gen.

FISHER KNOCKS OUT
CUNNINGHAM GRAB
Alaskan Coal Claims Meet Final De.
feat-Many Millions In
Volved.

Washington. The Cunningham
coal claims in Alaska, which
were at the bottom of the famous Bal
linger-Pinchot controversy, were held
Illegal by Fred bennett, commissioners
of the general land office This dis
poses Of the controversy, as the sec
rotary of the interior, Walter L. Fish
er, has approved the findings. There
is possible only an appeal to the
courts on the law points involved.
The decision practically closes the
Alaska coal fields, it being the gen
eral impression that owing to their in
accessibility it is impossible to work
them successfully under the limita
tons of the present laws. 1t is a Sc
we're blow to the -Guggenheim
syndicate.
In announcing the decision of the
department Secretary Fisher declared
that new coal land laws are needed in
Alaska if that territory is to be de-
veloped properly.
This Is the final decision of the
Cunningham claims, SO far as the de-
par uouI OIL the interior is COuCoTueu,
he said. ANY further proceedings
will be merely formal, for the purpose
of perfecting the record in case the
claimants think there are questions
of law which they desire to present
to the courts.
ct Is the intention of the depart
ment to proceed at once to final de-
termination of all the remaining Alas
ka coal claims so far as this can prop
erly be DONE
Commissioner bennett, in his deci-
sion holding the claims subject to can
collation. on the charge of fraud, de-
clares that each of the thirty-three en-
tries were allowed improperly because
of fatal defects apparent on their face.
He asserts that the government con-
clusively established the charges
brought against the claimants and that
there is no doubt that an agreement
existed, in violation of law.
The thirty-three claims covered
$3.50 acres. The value of the land has
been estimated high in the millions.
The coal embraced is said to be
among the best in the world.
