Crossing for
Busy Streets

Washington Nov, 1j.-Underground
subways for pedestrians to cross street
intersections where traffic is congest-
ed and passage dangerous, is the sug-
gestion made to American municipal
officers by Consul General John L.
Grifiths at London. Increase in street
accidents caused Consul Grifiiths to
forward his recommendation to this
country for consideration.
Two such subways are being oper-
ated successfully in London, Grifiths
declares. He says they would be more
generally used if the incline were
more gradual and access easier.
How motor vehicles are raising the
death roll in London is a striking fea-
ture of GrGths recommendation. He
says 40 people were killed and $1,000
injured by street vehicles last year in
London. OF those killed, street cars
ran down 26. motor omnibuses, lOI
ard taxicabs and automobiles 155, In

Supreme Court
Decision Jars
Corporations

That the decision of the supreme
court in the case Of Hirschfeld against
McCullach, which was handed down
Tuesday will go a long way toward
inducing all corporations in the state
to file their papers with the secretary
of state, and thereby cause consld-
cradle increase in the amount Of fees
collected each year in this depart
ment, is the opinion If Secretary Of
State Olcott, expressed in an inter
view yesterday. The court, by this
decision, will not lend their aid to
the enforcement of contracts drawn
up by corporations operating illegally.
"The decision just rendered by the
Oregon supreme court in the case of
Hirchfeld versus McCullach, to the eff
feet that the courts will not lend their
aid to the enforcement of contracts
entered into by corporations operat-
ing in this state in violation of law,
will be Of great assistance to this de-
partment in enforcing the foreign cor
poration laws of this state" said
Secretary Olcott
eve have been making every eff
fort to compel this class Of corpora
tions, operating in Oregon in violation
of law, to file their papers in this Of
flee, and have had considerable sue
cess. There has been collected some
thing over $4,000 in the past year. that
we would not have had if We had not
gone after IT, but in a number Of in
stances corporations have eyadod the
law We are having the opinion Of the
supreme court reprinted, and will send
it to all corporations on our list, who
have not yet complied with the stat
utes. I expect this step to result in
a large increase in fees, as there is
certain class Of corporations which
care nothing for the law, but who will
lose no time in falling I'm line when
they discover that to do so viii inyal-
idate their contracts and cut their div
idends."

Using AMERICAN
EWING MACHINES

Washington, Nov. 15.-How Arabian
women in far-off Alden are using the
same sewing machines in universal
vogue in America is the unique "Ara-
bian Nights" tale recited to the state
department by Consul Walter H..
Schulz, Of Alden. He says there are
1900 sewing machines in use in Alden,
the home Of Oriental rugs. Many Of
these are supplied by German manu-
iacturers, and the American make
shipped from branch houses of Amer
lean exporters in Bombay or Egypt.
Extreme poverty of the Arabians
generally prevents their purchase of
more American machinery, Consul
Schulz says, only the very wealthy
Arabians being able to afford an Am
emican sewing machine.

1t was reported here Friday
that oil had been discovered at
Fayette, Ala, but all efforts to
verify the statement failed, and
it is believed to be groundless
The report was telephoned
in here from Carrollton, Ala,
and was based upon a rumor in
circulation there.
As is well known to all readers
of the Commercial. natural gas
was discovered at Fayette sever
al years ago, and since that time
repeated efforts have been made
to find oil. AT various times re-
ports stating that it had been
found have been current, but
they have all been without war
rent, and the report in circula-
ton Friday was doubtless of the

pany has given out the following
statement with respect to the
suit brought by the State OF
Mississippi against the Southern
Railway Company and the Mobile

charging violation of the anti
trust laws of Mississippi:
The railroad companies regret
that the Attorney-Ge General of
Mississippi is of the opinion that
the facts in this matter justify
the bringing of this suit. The
officers of the several railroads
involved are confident that no
law of the State of Mississippi
has been violated by these rail-
road companies. especially is
this true inasmuch as the con-
sumation of the transaction, how
more than ten years ago, was
with the consent of, in the man.

stipulated by the proper officers
Of the State of Mississippi, and
we believe that when the Attor-
ney-General becomes acquainted

of the issue he will so conclude.
