Of Her Majesty.

r chair of state, valued at no less
- than $4,000, and wearing be-
jeweled crown of gorgeous splendor.

rhe crc"n anu scepter arrived to-
day from New York city, and are
among the most splendid examples of
the gOldsmith's art ever seen here.
The throne will be draped with skins
and furs of the most valuable char

found that it would be impossible to
purchase so expensive an emblem of

1877 jewels, and demands their re-
turn and proper security while in the
possession of the local populace. This
is peeping into court secrets; but it
is rich news, and falls easy prey to
the ferret-like reporters. The throne
will be n magnificent affair. and it,
too, will be merely loaned. The scep-
ter which the queen will carry in her
hand will be very valuable and stud

That the queen will be made the

sion, and her popularity is unques-

Associated Press.

Associated Press.
Delhi, India, Dec 23-Dr Charles
Hardinge. vicerOy of India, was
wounded and an attendant was killed
by n bomb that was hurled at the
viceroy from the top of n house just
as he was entering the new capital
of India today. The bomb struck the
howdah or basket of the viceroy's ele-
phant, killing the attendant instant
ly.
The splendid elephant procession
was passing through the Chandai
Chowk district when the bomb was
thrown. 1t was hurled by a man
who stood on a low house-top
Lord Hardinge was wounded in
the shoulder: but, on examination at
the hospital, where he was immedi-
qtely taken, IL was found that his in
jury was slight.
Lady Hardinge was not hurt: but
she suffered so severely from the
shock that it was necessary to admin
lister soothing remedies. She was
taken to her residence.
The police AT once surrounded the
house from which the bomb was
thrown and made several arrests.
The ceremonies We're interrupted
only a short time. Sir Guy Fleetwood
Wilson, the financial member of the
council. took the viceroy's place, and
the procession proceeded through the
new imperial city to the Durbar camp
whore many raiahs were gathered.

Railroad companies and steam

the United States destroying much
competition.
Water lines along Atlantic and

roads.
New Haven aystem charged with
attempting to Fuppress competi-

New Haven system and the
Eastern Steamship Company, in

Southern Pacific is declared to

Railroads own the important

Some competition on the Pacific

Railroads control 80 per cent of

purchased, partly in anticipation of
an order from the Interstate Com
merce commission, which is expected
to be made effective in 1915. Legis-
lation along the same line is expect
ed from the forthcoming congress.
There are already 235 miles of
heavy track on the line of the Mid
land, 20O miles having been laid
during the regime of President and
Receiver George w. Vallery. The
mileage of the road from Colorado
Springs. its eastern terminus. to
Grand Junction on the west, is 1886.
This includes the Junction railway,
one-half of whose stock is owned by
the Denver & Rio Grande and one
half by the Midland. With 700
miles of new steel Weighing 80
pounds to the yard, the Midland will
be in the most efficient condition in
its history, and with the other line
changes contemplated will be an i'm
portant factor in the handling of both
local and transcontinental traffic.
At its eastern terminus the Mid
land would form most valuable con-
nection with the Rock Island, which
has its own rails direct 10 Colorado
Springs from the east, or with the
Burlington. which controls the COL
orado & Southern. operating from
Denver to Colorado Springs. 1t is
likely that these roads will begin to
seek route westward in view of the
recently adopted hostile attitude of
the Union Pacific, which has closed
its Denver gateway to them. The
Colorado Midland would be ideal for
this purpose.

Junction to the Utah line will be built

A total sum of 100000 has been
outlined for roads which will cross

portions of the east-and-west trans
continental highway. This includes
roads from Denver. Pueblo and Col
orado Springs to Buena Vista, Sui
phur Springs, Montrose by way of
Monarch pass and other routes across
the range.
Outside of the fund mentioned the

Washington, Dec. 23.-Railroad
companies and steamship combina-
tions control the regular steamship
lines of the United States and have
destroyed competition on many of the
water highways of commerce, de-
clares Luther Conant, Jr., commits
sioner of corporations, in report to
President Taft today.
The revelations of the report,
based upon an extensive investiga-
tion, force upon the federal govern
ment, says the commissioner, the con-
sideration of further regulation of
joint rail and water traffic.
In practically all the coast waters
of the country, it is declared, rail
road or steamship consultations
dominate water transportation.
Their control of both through pas
senger and package-freight trade is
especially striking, says Commissions
er Conant, on the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts and on the Great Lakes.
Water lines along the eastern sea-
board, he adds, have become to
large extent auxiliaries or subsid-
iaries of railroads. While competi-
tion exists in greater measure on the
Pacific coast. the commissioner points
out important instances of railroad
control there.
1t is striking fact, says Commits
sioner Conant, that between a num-
ber of the more important ports on
the Atlantic and Gulf coast there is
only single regular service.
New Haven Is Offender.
The New Haven system, it is
charged, has pursued determined
policy of suppressing any effective
competition on Long Island Sound
and several, at least, of its recent
acquisitions must be charged as due
to this policy" Elimination of COM
petition also was an important fac
tor, says Commissioner Conant, in the
New Haven's purchase of majority
interest in the Merchants and Min
ers Transportation company.

tween New York City and New Eng
land ports is almost completely con-

We get excited about graft in political
circles while false news about the
worlds products is thousand times
greater graft than all the graft in
politics and government.
There are many times more men
and more money related to the worlds
crop products than are related to any
other business in the world and the
misleading reports of these products
and the manipulation of market
prices are far more extensive than
any other class of gratis on earth.
Why does not someone wake up about

Dealing in products of the soil is
legitimate business and it needs

tigers that prey upon this business
could be eliminated it would vastly
elevate the business of both producers
