SOMETHING THAT
CONCERNS THE
MERCHANT

1t is a recognized fact that the re
tail business of the country village:
and the large towns, for that matter
is in serious danger Year by yea
the once prosperous merchants are
being forced to the wall-driven on
by the mail-order business. And thi:
is taking place in face of the fact tina
the population and purchasing power
of the country districts are ever OF
the increase.
What is the natter
The mail-order houses are draw
ing the cash retail trade from its nat
ural channels to the cities.
The growth of this octopus ha.
been phenomenal. From Jeily-like
idea-without form-an experiment
fifteen years ago. it has grown to pro
portions that threaten the extermlna
ton OF the retail country merchant
Thousands OF people every week
send in their hard-earned cash to
some mail-order house in payment Tor
goods that could have been bought
cheaper at their home store.
Why do they do it? 1t is owing
partially to the desire of the aver
age person to be humbugged and par
italy to the effect OF persistent ad-
yertisinp The mail-order house
sends out its attractive literature to
every family in the country. In this
literature, composed of well-illustra-
ted catalogues and cheap magazines
known as mail-order papers, the
goods are set forth i'll the most at
tractive manner 1t is tempting bait,
and the fish bite
All OF these millions come out OF
the legitimate trade OF the country

be allowed to do a legitimate bust

The Slaughter of Trout.

a most revolving view is shown in
a photograph taken by Charles Gla-
zier at a point on the lower Truckec.
Although the photograph is not clear,
one must study it for some moments
before he can realize the scene and
what it portrays. Then it dawns upon
him that it is actual and incontestable
evidence OF the horrible slaughter of
hundreds of thousands OF magnificent
trout through the inadequacy OF the
Derby fshladder. The view is taken
at the edge of the stream and. within
space as small as could be handled
in, there are upwards of $50 lake
trout. Not one in the lot would
weigh less than four pounds and some
weigh up to the twenty-five pound

WORK AT NAVY YARD
Only Absolutely Necessary I'M
provements To Be Made.


Washington, Feb. A.--In order TO escape
the Democratic pruning knife the Navy
Department is cutting down TO a minimum
the improvements required at the New
York Navy Yard. and will ask appropria-
lions only for those projects which are con-
stdered absolutely necessary. OF the sew
eral projects at New York there are five
of prime Importance. These are, in the
order Of relative need continuing the i'm
provements OF the waterfront, $4,000;
dredging. $4,000; installation Of 50-ton
locomotive crane, $4,000; yard railroad ex-
tension, $1,000, and paving and grading.
$4,000 With the money on hand and that
appropriated last year IL was possible TO
make a contract for the construction OF
piers T. and in the Whitney basin at a
cost of $4,000, with removal OF a portion
Of Cob dock These piers are 800 feet long.
The original estimate of the Navy Depart
ment was $3.50, but this was reduced by
the Secretary to $4,000.
Other work under contemplation is the
removal of the remains OF Cob dock. the
construction of an additional pier in Whit
ney basin parallel 10 piers r and +, the
construction of Pier No. 4, which is on the
East River, and the extension of Piers
Nos. Q and TO the Harbor Commissioners
line. Some of these things will be done
with the money now asked for The need
for all OF the projects is pressing. That
which is found to be most pressing will be

PACKERS METHODS SHOWN
Buying of Stock of Competitor
Described at Trial.

Chicago. Fob. 2i-Three attempts by
Edward Tiden. president OF the Nauonal
Packing Company and one Of the defend
ants I'm the packers trial, to obtain con-
troll of the Schwarzschild & Sulzberger
COMPANY. the principal competitor OF the
Chicago packers, were described by Ered-
orick Joseph OIL the witness stand to-day.
Mr.. Joseph said that he and his son
Moses. who formerly we're officers or the
Scbvarzschild e. Sulzberger Company. act
ed as agents OF Tilden In the attempts to
obtain n controlling interest In the con-
Germ. The Josephs withdrew from the
company before they accomplished their
purpose, the government attorneys said
and at present are managing the New York
Butchers Dressed Beef Company. sub
sidiary OF the National Packing Company.
The first attempt 10 buy stock In the
Schwarzschild & Sulzberger Company was
on November o. 1901 when $50 OF the 5000
shares OF the company were purchased by
the Josephs for S53,i2j and turned over TO
Tilden. on October q. 1875. an additional
3.6l5 shares were purchased for S32's25. on
March O. 1910 LIB more shares were ac-
auired for $40. 7l2 and transferred to Tilden.
The government declares that this stock
was later exchanged for preferred stock In
Sulzberger e. Sons Company, successor TO
the schwarzschIld & SGlzberger Company.
Frederick Joseph was on the stand all
day. and probably will continue his testi-
mony when the trial is resumed on Mon
day.
