Plan Arranged to Increase

Market Steady.

Washington Gas shares were higher
again today, moving up to so, where the
transactions were quite heavy and the
buying of the kind to inspire confidence.
Same interests that have been promi-
nent in accommodating the stock for some
days were to the fore with buying or
ders.
The Washington Gas Company has
taken steps to largely increase the con-
sumption of its product, and believe
that it has solved the problem. OF
late representatives of the company
have visited New York city and Chicago
with a view of looking into the devel-
opment Of the gas stove and range busi-
ness in these centers.
Gas has practically superseded the use
of other fuel for cooking purposes in
the large cities, the range being found
in homes and fats as well as in the
great apartment buildings. In these
cities the gas companies have made the
use of the gas range possible in many
sections Dy plan of selling ranges on
the installment plan, dollar down and
a dollar a month, including installation.
1t is understood that the local Gas
Company has made ali agreement with
corporation to furnish stoves and
ranges TO Washington consumers on
the easy payment plan. Announcement
to this effect will probably be made at
the annual meeting. The officials have
great anticipations as to the results
that will come from the introduction Of
ranges and stoves.

tiifS farm, and if the facts hereafter
warrant it the college may be enjoned
against further acts"
Columbia, May 3O.-Telegrams re-
ceiNed in Columbia yesterday made
known the fact that the supreme
court Of the United States had decided
that Clemson college was liable for
about $4,000 for damages alleged
to have been done On the lands Of
John Hopkins Of Oconee county. The
Clemson college property is situated
in PickenS and Oconee counties. one
Of the county lines running just op-
posite the parade grounds.
Several years ago permission was
obtained from the legislature for the
right to bring suit against the college
by DR.. Hopkins of Oconee county. be-
cause of damage done to his land by
dykes constructed by the college. A
legislative commission was appointed
to investigate this case, and in the
meantime the suit went through the
usual course and the supreme court
decided that the institution, being un-
der State control, could not be sued
except by consent Of the legislature.
Seven Of the trustees of the college
are life members, being named in the
Clemson bequest. These seven men,
bers constitute a majority of the
board. The decision Of the United
states supreme court means that the
majority members do not represent
rhe State Of South Carolina, and that
The college is liable for a suit at anv
time, just as any corporation or in
dividual, without the necessity of OBJ
tanning permission from the State Of
South Carolina.
The decision is far-reaching in ef

the institution over $25O.OO0 yearly;

THE CLEMSON COLLEGE CASE.
UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
DECLARES IT MAY BE MADE
DEFENDANT IN SUIT.
The Court Holds That Action Will
Lie for Recovery OF Damages. but
Not for interference With Proper
tN--IiOpkinS Case Reversed.

/ Washington, May 29.-The United
! states supreme court. in an opinion
rendered today by Justice Lamar re-
! Versed and remanded to the lower
courts Of South Carolina the case of
/ Or. John Hopkins of Oconee county
against Clemson college. DR.. Hop
kins is the owner of very valuable
! lands along the Seneca river, in Oc1-
nee county. In his complaint he
alleged that because of dykes con-
structed by Clemson college the river
nd been made u overflow his land.
trees and banks had been washed
away, and that otherwise he had been
damaged to the extent Of $4,000.
Action was begun in the case on
September l, 1905, in the court of
common pleas for Oconee. For de-
Tense Clemson college set up the plea
/ that as its trustees We're merely the
agen.s Of the State of South Carolina.
hence the college could not be sued
without the States consent. This plea
was upheld by the court of common
pleas and then the case went to the
! supreme court Of the United States.
where the constitutional question Of
whether the trustees Of Clemson col
! lege were or were not the agents of
the State was the issue.
Justice Lamar went thoroughly in
! to the case. He reviewed the condi-
tions Of the will of the late Thomas
| @. Clemson, the founder Of the col
! lege, which now bears his name. and
most especially the question Of wheth-
er ~ not the trustees are agents Of
the State. The practical effect Of the
decision may be summed up in the
following language of Justice Lamar:
Plaintiff prayed not only for dam
ages, but that the embankments
should be removed. The title to the
land and everything annexed to the
land is in the State, subject to the
conditions named in the will. The
State, therefore. may be a necessary
party to any proceedings which seek
to affect the land itself or TO move
any structure thereon which has be-
come a part Of the land.
II so. and unless it consents to be
sued. the court can not decree re-
moval Of the embankment which
forms a part Of the States property.
But the prayer for that part IF the
relief can be stricken out without de-
priVing the court of Jurisdiction to
hear and determine the question
whether Clemson college is liable to
plaintif for its own corporate act in
building for its own proprietary and
corporate purposes a dyke, which it
Is alleged damaged or took the plain

City Council Meets at Crown
Point to Discuss Tele-
phone Business.

Crown Point, Ind, August 20. The
city council met last evening at the
council chambers to take up the North
western Telephone company matter and
after debating the question decided to
make the company live up to the terms
of their franchise with the city. 1t was
shown that the company had usurped
their privilege in many instances, such
as building their lines on streets where
their grant did not allow and had also
installed phones in excess of the num-
Der granted in their franchise.
AS the general sentiment in Crown
Point is against the operation of two
phone companies. and considering that
the local exchange and the Northwest
ern company cannot come to terms Of
agreement, as has been advocated and
ordered by the city council, IL was
deemed necessary to confine the latter
company's operations by limiting them
solely to the privilege granted in their
franchise, to save further encroachment
on the city.
The committee having the matter In
hand have worked long and faithfully
in an endeavor to be fair TO the tele-
phone corporation and still do justice
to the city, and its citizens. who are not
in favor of giving the city phone privi-
reyes INTO the hdnds OF TWO telephone
