 st. Louis, Mo-, March 14.-Shortly before balloting for a board of direc- tors was begun at the annual meeting of stockholders of the Missouri Paci- fic Railroad. today, 1t was announced that Frank Gould had won his fight to be represented. Martin L. Clarry, vice-president, and solicitor of the railroad. stated that R. Lancaster Williams, of Baltimore, would be elected a member of the board. Will iiams represents the independent stockholders and Frank and Howard Gould.
 This involved a change in the plans for the election.
 It had been announced that 12 di- rectors would be chosen but the con- cession to Frank Gould necessitated make 1t necessary for one of the di- rectors chosen, today, to resign when a president of the railroad is named in order to give the head of the road a place on the board.
 Following the election here, the directors will meet in New York, probably electing a president. None of the Gould brothers came to St Louis 10 attend the election. Charles s. Clarke. first vice-president' and resident executive of the Missouri Pacific, cast the proxies of Kingdom George and Edward Gould. He also and Kuhn. Loeb interests.
 E. N. Judson and Former Judge Henry G Priest, legal representatives of the Kuhn, Loeb interests attend ed the election and cast proxies foI several stockholders.

ENGLAND'S ATTITUDE.

London. March 14-Today's American despatches attributing the United States army "maneuvers'' to Japanese activity has revived anew the question of an Anglo-Japanese treaty in the at- titude of Great Britain in event of trouble between America and Japan. The prediction is freely made, today, that should the English government attempt to live up to it's offensive and defensive alliance with Japana there will be a national outbreak that would force the government to devise some means of abrogating the agreement.
 Foreign Secretary Grey's open bid in the House of Common, last night, for an Anslo-American treaty of peace in connection with his speech inter- preting President Taft's recent re- marks on arbitration and the wild en- thusie srn 1t invoked are taken as in dica tive of the present strong bond of endship between England and America.
 There is little doubt in official cir cles here. today, that in event of trou- ble between the United States and Japan, English statesmanship would be equal to the task Of freeing Great Britain from her obligations to take up arms with Japan against the Uni- ted States
 Today's papers print denials from Tokio and various Japanese legations in Europe that the Mikado is meddling in Mexican affairs. Everywhere the hope is expressed that these denials are we'll founded.

AMERICA AND ARGENTINA.
Peculiar Status of United States
 Trade in the Argentine.

(F'rom James Davenport whelpley of
 Progressive Argentina" in the
 March Century,
 The status of the trade of the Unit ed States in the Argentine Is peculiar A few big American corpora tions have gone at 1t carefully, intelligent ly and with continued energy. Amer tcan steel and iron makers have found a prof table field in which they have won fair share of business in sharp competition with England. Germany and Belgium. Lately, Rus g. seller of steel rails, and her prices have upset all former market condl- tons. It remains to be seen, how ever. whether Russia can maintain her position for any length of time as to supply and prices.
 takes care of the crops of the Argen- tine, as it does those of many other countries. The American oil com panies supply the Argentine market with Illuminating and lubricating oils. The American packing interests have frozen and chilled meat, and now con- trol probably fifty per cent. of the Argentine export trade in those pro- ducts. As yet the shipments are all to Europe, but the time may come when the people of the United States will look to the Argentine to supple ment the home supply of bread and meat.
 American methods have quite re- gently given the Argentine cattle rais- CTS a moment of Dewilderment from which they have not yet fully recov- cred. During the livestock show of last year the packing interests found a few head of Hereford steers to their liking, and ran the auction price up to over five thousand dollars for each steer, a worlds record in the price

TREATMENTS STRIKE
 CAUSING FAMINE
fspecial from United Press,

Somerset. Ky, March 14.-Somer- set and many smaller Kentucky and Tennessee towns are, today, facing a coal famine, while hotels, restaurants and stores are inconvenienced by shortage of food stuffs as a result of the strike of more than 200 Queen & Crescent fremcn-
 The situation, today. is growing more acute and reports of violence are coming from many points.
 Engineers are refusing to move freight trains at night and strike breaking fremen are deserting.
 At Kings Mountain, where rioting occurred. yesterday, when three freight trains were held up, further trouble is feared. Armed noun taineers are reported Hooking into town
 Reports here, this morning, indi- cate probably serious rioting at Oak dale, Tenn, today Several negro nremen driven from engines. yester- day, are missing. A Queen & Cres- cent special agent named Schwartz. of St Louis. was taken to a hospital here, this morning, in serious condi- ton as the result of rifle wound.

Strikes and LockOuts.

unions. There are fifty separate towns in which these organizations are To- cated."
 Strikes and LockOuts.
 Referring to industrial disturbances during the year the report says:
 Labor difficulties classified as Strikes and Lockout took place in twenty-one different towns of the state during the year.
 None of these disturbances were of serious character.
 "The industrial disputes recorded, which were of sufficient importance to be styled strikes during the year no labor difficulty was discovered which could be termed lockout
 There were 3,367 persons involved. The time lost by the employees direct ly or indirectly engaged in these diff faculties amounted to 65,395 days and the money loss in wages, computed at the prevailing average daily wage as shown by the latest information ob- tainable, was S103,324."
 Employers Liability and Worl1nen's
 Compensation.
 ''The/ past few years have been marked by rapid increase of in terest in the question of the adjust ment and distribution of the burden of the results of industrial accidents, the doctrine of compensation as dis tinguished from that of liability com ing for the first time in the United Sta tes to any widespread support. Where the idea of employers liability controls, the employe is given a right of action against the employer in cases where injury from accident re- suits as consequence of the neglig- ence Of the employer or of some one charged with the performance of his nondelegable duties; with this, how ever, the rule must be considered that where the injured employe contribut- ed by his own negligence to cause the accident, such contributory negligence bars recovery. Ordinary risks, not due to the employers negligence, but incidental to the employment, are held to be assumed by the employe, and for injuries resulting therefrom no recovery of damages can be had; these risks include the acts, negligent or otherwise. of ordinarily carefully selected and ordinarily skillful and competent fel1ow-workmen. It is ob- vious that the only right allowed to an injured employe under this doc urine is the right to sue, which ex- perience has shown to involve uncer- tainty, delay, expense, and the ulti- mate acquisition by the workman of only a fraction of the money actually expended by the employer in the way of defense and of payments on judg- mentS."

 Doctrine would lead to immediate war with the United States.
 My information indicates that Pres ident Diaz himself is friendly towards America. He does not look with favor on the development of pro-Japanese sentiment but he is unable to control the situation. This is the condition of affairs that President Taft has been called upon to meet. His problem has been to checkmate the Mexican desire for a Japanese alliance before 1t got beyond control
 Americas military preparations are much more extensive than is generally known. Preliminary preparations have been made for concentrating the coun- try's whole fighting strength against Mexico should future developments make this course necessary.
 'One of two eventualities must be the outcome. Either the President must be assured in a manner having no possibility of doubt that Mexico will cease her intimacy with Japan or the American army will enter Mexico, os- tensibly to restore order and protect internal commercial interests but in reality to show American power to those Mexicans who seek an outlet through Japanese channels.'

FRANCE SEES YELLOW PERIL.

Paris, March 14-French public orin- ion today echoes the apprehension felt in Great Britain over the reported activity of Japan in Mexican affairs, its menace to America and the Anglo Japanese alliance
 Denials of a Mexican-Japanese un- derstanding are not seriously regarded here. The Eclare sizes up the situa- ton in this way:
 These denials will not fool anyone even though frequently repeated. The Americans fear of an accord between Mexico and Japan is not unreasonable The lease of Magdelena Bay as a naval base for America has already been cancelled
 '@The purpose of the mobilization is two-fold: To warn Mexico to be more careful in her foreign policy and to obtain economic advantages desired by the trusts

Marriage and Longevity.

Longevity is not in itself thing
greatly to be desired unless strength is
retained and mental alertness. 1t is not
a good thing to live for 100 years if the
last 80 of them are spent in weakness,
with no activity marking them. Yet men
who have been married have lived to a
a ripe old age, with their minds still
active and capable John Bigelow today
gets much more enjoyment out of life
than many who are blessed with less
than 30 years. Bachelors have been
known to reach the age of discretion,
which we are told is the seventeen year.
but with them old age has been crab
bed thing. 1t is the married man who
really lives the longest of his race.
We do not know Just why this is.
There have been old tobacco users, and
men who have never used tobacco; old
whisky drinkers and old men !who never
drank at all. 1t is only when marriage
IS made the test that old age is explained.
1t may be that the. bliss of marriage in
the early years prepares men for all vicis-
STUDIES. and it may be that the loving
care of woman is responsible for the
whole thing. We do not know. We
only wish to emphasize the point that
when it comes to old age, that bachelors
are strangely waning. 1t takes married
man to live long time. CharleStoa0n

To Amend Banking Law.

The Legislative Committee Of the
MARYLAND Bankers Association will soon
be called upon to draft an amendment
to the present State Banking Law. State
Bank Commissioner Downes, in his
annual report to be made next month,
will recommend that an amendment be
passed to the present banking law OF
MARYLAND providing for a penalty for all
bank officials who accept deposits amer
knowing that their institutions have
been insolvent. No provision for such
a penalty was made in the banking law
at the last Legislature, because the
drafters Of the act believed that pro-
vision for such an occasion was made IN
the State Constitution.
Recently Commissioner Downes made
an examination Of the constitution, and
found no penalty given there for such an
act
Commissioner Downes' first annual
report will be ready to send to Governor
Crothers about February 10th.
Another of the recommendations that
the commissioner will make is that the
law be amended SO that the savings
banks shall be compelled to report al
least twice year

Will the Postoff1ce Department
Become Self Sustaining?

That Postmaster General Hitchcock
is determined to put the Postoffice De-
partment on a self sustaining basis is
evidenced in the annual report of Third
Assistant Postmaster General James G..
Britt which has just been made. Though
the expenditures of the department for
the past year are still in excess of the
receipts, there is marked decrease in
the expenditures for the past year when
compared with those of year ago.
The total postal receipts for the fiscal
year 1910, aggregated $224, las, 657. 81.
This is an increase of $40, 500, 274. IS,
or TO- 10 per cent, when compared with
those for the preceding year.
The expenditures for the past year
amounted to $229, OF, So an excess
of expenditures over receipts OF SIS, S48,
s66.SS To this deficit should be added
the sum of $32, eI5.o7, lost by burglary,
fire, bad debts, ETC., making total de-
ficit Of IS, SSI, 4SI.oS decrease of ST.
$685. 2SS So, when compared with the
deficit of the fiscal year 1909.

era discusses in detail the different
branches of the postal service which
come under the jurisdiction of his Office.

ounce of gold. 1t is more nourishing
to the soul than meat and drink is to the
hungry. 1t is better stimulant than the
richest wine, and the strongest lever to
lift any one from the ruts of dependency
