RAILROADS HALT SCHEME
Baltimore Capitalist Tells Presi-
dent OF Obstacles to Coast to
Coast Mail Project

That the project for q steamship line
from New York to San Francisco that
should bid for mail contracts between
ports on the two coasts had fallen
through has been made known through
a visit By Bernard N. Baker TO Presi-
dent Taft. Baker, who had been as
sured by certain banking houses Of the
required capital for the enterprise.
found that certain Influences had been
at work to prevent the organization Of
the proposed Atlantic and Pacific Trans
port Company.
Last week he called at the White
House aud laid before President Taft a
history of all the obstacles which he
contends have been interposed through
the influence Of the transcontinentll
railroads to independent line Of vessels.
Baker undertook to organize a line early
last Summer, and by the terms OF an
Act of Congress he had until November
rs to acquire the necessary subscription
to insure the success of his undertake.
ing. 1t is understood hat Baker told
the President q somewhat startling
story of the opposition which had con
fronted this proposed independent line
of steamships.
Baker told the President also that
influence working against the proposed
independent company were so far
reaching and powerful that they had
prevented ship yards from taking con-
tracts to build vessels for the proposed
line. II is understood that influence re-
ferred to is the tran scontinental rail-
roads, which see in the contemplated
steamship line a dangerous trade rival.
With a large Government allowance
for carrying mails the Of the
line would be able to transport freight
from coast to coast at rates with which
the overland roads could not possibly
compete.
Baker says he has put the matter mp
to Congress-" and implies that the Gov
eminent should own the line.

Pofossium Cyanide
Cyanide of Potassium is one of the

This poison lie absolutely indispensable
in the working of mill ores unless

But toll should not be taken OF human

perish through the drinking of this
deadly fluid. Frequently mills are left
abandoned with cyanide water appeal

suffering from thirst. Many men have
thus died and horses and cattle have
also been poisoned.
There seems to be no provision by the
