LONDON, Feb. 1.--When you talk
OF the cooperative movement in Great
Britain as whole, you have to talk
in terms of millions, even billions OF
dollars.
Lord Rosebery called the cooper
alive societies "a state within state
II is pure democracy within a mon
archy.
There are three divisions In this
democracy: the productive societies.
the Wholesale societies, and the retail
societies. IL you are partner In one,
you are partner in all.
Consider the productive division
first. There are III factories, with n
capital (unwatered) OF R1,56z,561
($7, 500 ,00O), among them being the
Wheatsheaf boot and shoe works In
Leicester, the largest boot factory In
Great Britain, and a biscuit factory at
Crumpsall which is admittedly the
finest model factory In England. All
the cooperative factories are model
factories, for that matter, and the en-
ployes work eight hours a day
other factories are devoted TO the
manufacture Of
Dry goods, garments and millinery,
stoves, cocoa and chocolate, nantes.
shirts and underclothing, preserves,
marmalade and jam. woolens, fan-
nels, soap, candles, glycerine. oil and
tallow, brushes and mats, floor, hides,
printing, corsets. hosiery, lard. iron,
tin, buckets, tobacco, crockery-and
then some.
There are creameries. Thcre are
hothouses for growing green stuns
out of season.
These units in the productive divi-
sion do an annual trade OF $l5,50O,-
900, at an annual profit Of $945,OOO.

EDWIN HAWLEY MEETS
FATE OF OTHER RAIL KINGS

ed and his private car waiting. AT
o'clock this morning he awakened his
valet complaining that he was suffer
ing terribly. Doctors were hastily
summoned and they temporarily re-
lieved the distress, but the over-bur'
dened heart did not respond to the
powerful stimulants and two hours
later the railway king was dead.
Hawley was a bachelor. His home
life was that OF a reoluse, only close
personal friends ever visiting him
His mansion was furnished richly, but
IN the severest, simplest style as be-
fitted the man who, according to his
Wallst. associates, could Give the
sphynx pointers on saying nothing
The extent OF the Hawley wealth is
problematical. Much OF his fortune
was invested in railroads he had made
paying properties. Estimates run far
into the millions.
Edwin Hawley. recognized for
years as a powerful factor In Amer
Ican railroad sffairs, was born In
Chatham, N. Y, in 1850. When he
was sixteen he crowded his personal
effects into an old carpet sack and
came to New York and got job as
messenger for the Erie railroad at
81 week. He worked mere until
he got a chance to go to the Ohio
and Mississippi railroad at SO. Then
he went to the Eastern offices of the
Rock Island at $14, a bill-of-lading
clerk. Soon afterward che California
Fast Freight Line needed contract
ing agent in New York and Hawley
got the place. This work brought
him into close contact with Coils p
Huntington. then the big man in the
western railroad field. Huntington
liked Hawley because he could keep
his mouth shut" and soon he became
assistant traffic manager of the
Southern Pacific.
When <. VI. Hartman got control
Of the Southern Pacific, following
Huntington's death, and largely
through Hawley's efforts, he was
afraid OF Hawley, and, although he
made him a. member of the executive
committee, he refralned from taking
Hawley into his confidence. Later
when Hawley tried to be made a di
rector of the Alton. Hartman turned
him down III favor of James Stillman
Hawley declared war and severed rela
lions with all OF the Hartman roads
He bought up all the Alton stock he
could get and through an alliance witt
the Rock Island management got the
Alton away from Hartman. Thi.
was the only big railroad defeat Har
riman ever sustained during his ca
reer.
Hawley continued to develop unit
he finally controlled the Minneapoli:

few years on a trans-continental rail

Secretary Of the British CO.
Operative Wholesale Society.
To summarize the benefits of
cooperation:
We claim II gives the greatest
purchasing power to the weekly
wage; an encouragement to
thrift in the system of cash pay
ment; automatic saving In the
shape of dividends on pur-
chases; a safe investment for
savings; opportunities for train
ing and education In citizenship
free from the bias Of the
schools a direct share in the
government Of a pure democ-
racy; and a place OF honor and
usefulness according to merit
and ability In movement
which bids fair to circle the
globe with It's influence and to
be second TO none among the
working class organizations OF
the future.
II may seem that the benefits
are material and fall short OF
the ideals we have declared, but
beyond all these things lie the
aim and determination OF our
people to put an end to the evils
of corrupt trading and the divi-
sion of men into capitalists and
laborers.
This spirit OF association, and
the resolute refusal to accept
the present state OF society as
final. elevates cooperation
above all other working class
movements.
II is for us so to control CON-
merce and industry that crook
ed trading and illegitimatc
profits will be impossible in or
der that every man who pays
may be assured OF getting his
moneys worth.
But we are not stopping there.
We are building up a new citi-
zenship which even now is en-
tering upon the time when it
has both the wits and the will
to WELD a tremendous social
and political influence for the
promotion of a happier and
ulster social order and the real
ization of the old ideals.

rather, newly discovered, in the Eternal
City.
Commentators Boni. who, whenever it
is possible. preserves the relics of periods
other than the classical. when they be-
come part of the landscape. or when pic
turesqueness would be lost by their de-
struction, now hopes to retain in the ex-
cavation of the imperial palace the quaint
old Villa Mills, which, with it's pretty
loggia and somewhat strange architec-
tural style, added to it when it was re-
built at the beginning of the nineteenth
century by Sir Charles Mills, and with
the great beauty of view obtained from
it. has made it one of the landmarks of
that part of ancient Rome.
| An old fountain in the charming garden
back of the villa has been cleaned out
and will then be in working order once
more. The removal of large bank of
earth in front makes it possible to look
down into the halls of the imperial pal
ace below.
Some time ago a magnificent piece Of
pavement was found in the latter, which,
dating back as it does at least as far as
| the time of Nero, is of great historical
and archaeological value, as it proves
that the beautiful pavement work, usu-
ally known as Opus Alexandrium, existed
long before the time of Alexander Sew
erus. after whom it was named
The discovery of a terra Gotta model
of a camel's head and some pieces of
| mother-of-pearl add quite largely to
knowledge of the possessions Of the an
clients of that time while among the

of woman. half of which is perfect,
and many styluses for use in writing.
The very thorough and interesting ex-
cavations which are being carried out
on the site of the ancient Ostia by Prof

Measure Provides Reforms in Or:
ganization of War DEPARTMENT

Presiden Taft last night signed the
army appropriation bill, carrying ap-
proximately $s9.OOOOco and providing re-
forms in the organization of the War De-
partment.
A joint resolution correcting the bill
was passed by the House and Senate at
the urgent request of Secretary OF War
Stimson. The detail provisions of the ap-
preparation measure which were to take
effect Immediately would have disarrang-
ed the system of detailing officers from
regiments, and would have partially
broken up the army service schools,
where many officers have been detailed for
periods longer than the two years speci-
fed by the new law. The joint resolution
passed last night postpones until De-
cember ID the operation of that portion
of the bill regulating the detail of army
officers away from their commands.
President Taft's first nomination under
the new army bill was that of Brig. Gen.
James p Aleshire, U. s. A.. to be chief
of the quartermaster generals depart
ment. with the rank of major general
Several of the old bureaus of the War
Department will be consolidated in the
