Telephone Legislation has come in
for its full share of attention. Some
profess to see an expensive joke in
some Of the telephone bills that have
been introduced, and the fact that the
Bell monopoly and the allied lndepend-
ent interests are working hand in hand
for the passage of a bill that would
permit merging of their several in
~terests in each community is enough
to make the people sit up and take
notice, The House has most emphat-
ically pronounced its disapproyal of
any merger scheme, but has approved
that phase of the bill providing for
physical connection, The Senate has
dealt more gently with the telephone
corporations.

Orchard Census.

How many acres Of orchards are
there IN liol, county, This l. Il
quest ion that l. always asked, but no
one can answer. While every one
knows that there are a great many
orchards where frui, l. grown Ia sell,
including apples, peaches, etc, no one
knows the exar, or even approximate
extent Of the acreage. Now We have
u chance To lind out what our county
has In the way Of fruit trees.
The state board Of horticulture Is
making a census OF all the CONNER
cial orchards Of the state, and our
county Is called upon To tell what II
has. Every person vino has com.

ur ged TO write to the state board at
Columbia and say that he Is a com.

very important. and we certainly hope
that the farmers and fruit growers of
our county who have commercial
plantations will send In their names
as above directed al once, In order
that our county may make 4 good
showing. The state board promises
that as soon as the list Is made up

TOM |. JOHNSON 5
WIDOW In Law
SUIT
DEMANDS $3.50, 900 DAMAGES
FROM MERCANTILE SAFE
DEPOSIT COMPANY.

NEW YORK. June lit was
learned yesterday that Mrs. Mar
garet J. Johnson, who on Monday
brought suit for $25O,0O0 damages
against the Mercantile Safe Deposit
company for refusing her access to
her safe deposit box in which. she
says, there are securities and cash
worth 100000, is the widow OF
former Mayor Tom L. Johnson OF
Cleveland
Mrs. Johnson had herself APP
pointed administrators Of the estate
of her husband two months ago
on the ground that he had left no
will, and said that the value OF
the estate in this county is about
$4,000
Samuel b. Clarke, of counsel for
Mrs. Johnson, said last night that
the property in the safe deposit
box belongs to Mrs. Johnson. The
safe deposit management has re-
fused Mrs. Johnson access to the
box as result of notification from
Bronson Winthrop, as counsel for
persons who have an alleged claim
against the estate
It is understood that a fight is
TO be made in court to break the
will of johnson. He left the bulk
of his property in trust for his
grandchildren
The money in the safe deposit
box is said to have been derived
from the sale of Mrs. Johnson S

KNOX REFUSES
To TELL SECRETS
OF RECIPROCITY
MEMBERS INSIST UPON HIS AP-
PEARANCE BEFORE THEM.
ROOT AMENDMENT.

WASHINGTON, June 14.-Some
feeling was manifested in the execu-
tive meeting of the senate finance
committee yesterday over the man
ner in which Secretary Knox is
alleged to have treated the invita-
ton of the committee to appear and
explain the Canadian reciprocity
| bill. The letter which the secretary
announced yesterday he would
send was received and was found
to be a verbatim copy of a COM
munication he had sent to Repre-
sentative Payne of New York when
the Canadian reciprocity bill was
before the ways and means COM
mittee
After the letter to Payne had
been laid before the members of
the committee, they decided it was
not satisfactory and at noon a mes
sage was sent TO Secretary Knox
asking him to come before the COM
mittee. Secretary Knox was before
the committee for nearly an hour
! Asked to explain many things CON
tanned in the agreement, the sec
rotary declined to answer on the
ground that the negotiations be-
; tween the Canadian and United
States officers should be held secret.
There were no clashes. He adj
mitted that the amendment pro-
posed by Senator Root carried out
the terms of the original compact
and that the bill as it now stands
does not The secretary was I'M
willing to express an opinion
whether the amendment should be
adopted or not
There is much difference of opin-
ion in the committee as to the Root
amendment, and several members of
the committee admit that they do
not know now how they will vote
on the proposition
The trend is toward favorable
action, however, and it probably
will be adopted The amendment
seeks to hold up the free exchange
of wood pulp and print paper until
the Canadian provinces have re-
moved all restrictions. This amend
ment will be supported by Senators
Bailey of Texas and Simmons of
North Carolina, democrats.
Senator Bailey will also offer in
committee as an amendment the
house free list bill with burlaps
and lumber stricken from it. The
house bill provides for the free
admission of these articles from
all countries of the world. Southern
cotton mills protest that the free
entry of burap would iniuriously
affect the market for osnaburgs and
the lower grades of cotton goods.
An amendment to strike out hay
from the Canadian reciprocity agree
| ment and thus continue to impose
a tax on hay coming into the
United States from Canada will be
urged by Senator Gallinger of New
Hampshire
| Other bills for tariff reductions
are pending before the committee,
| having been introduced by Senator
McCumber and Senator Nelson, each
providing for cut in existing
duties on long list Of articles.
There is probability that the
committee will reach a vote to-
morrow, and in that event re-
port Will be made to the senate
on Friday, The statement of Chair
man Penrose to accompany the
bill will be brief. The general inn
preston among members of the
committee Is that the bill will be
reported without recommendation
one way or the other.

NO UNITED COPPER
MEETING--CALL
Held UP
ANNUAL GATHERING OF THE
HEINZE COMPANY STOCK
HOLDERS DELAYED.

NEW YORK, June There
was no meeting yesterday Of the
stockholders of f. Augustus
Heinze'e United Copper company,
although the annual meeting is sup
posed to he held on the second
Tuesday in June The impression
got about that the meeting had
been postponed Not at all. It
was explained at the offices of the
company that the meeting was not
held simply because the necessary
notices calling the session had not
been sent out to the stockholders.
Just why the meeting had not
been regularly called was not clear
yesterday beyond the assurance
from the secretary that as soon
as the date had been decided upon
the stockholders would be notified.
1t is limited in some quarters that
the presence in New York of in
quisitiye representatives of Holland
interests, which hold considerable
of the common stock might have
decided the management to wait
awhile. Not that the fact that the
company's stock is largely held in
Holland is to be considered as any
indication that anybody is Sin
Dutch, but the idea given was
that by holding off the meeting
the Hollanders might decide to go
back home; or some interposition
of Providence might help things
along. But at the company's of
fees the assurance is given that
the meeting simply was not called.
4 plan for the reorganization of
the company is understood to be
nearing completion. Almost three
years unpaid dividends have ac-
crued against the company's 6 per
cent preferred stock, of which there
are $4,000 shares, and should the
company be liquidated, these would
be prior lien upon the assets.
The preferred may be retired at
%, but that there is no DISPOSE
ton to do this may be inferred
from the fact that the preferred
is selling in the open market in
and around IL.
The United has no funds of CON
sequence, and the reorganization
considered is one that will, first
and foremost, put some coin in the
treasury. There are 100000 COM
mon shares, and it is planned to
raise about 81 per share outstand-
ing. A new company probably will
be proposed, the old stock to be
exchanged for stock in the new
on the payment of a dollar or
so a share
The United has control of the
Ohio Copper company, the Stewart
Mining company and the Basin Re-
duction Works, owned by the La
France Copper company, United
subsidiary The United also has
large coal interests in Pennsylvania
and half interest with the Can
adam Pacific in some lands in Brit
ish Columbia.
