FAvoRS HEADLIGHT BILL.
commissioner Edwards Believes 1t Right
Step.

Jackson.-George r. Edwards, former
v our state treasurer, but now mem.
Der of the railroad commission, in speak.
ing of the bill introduced in the legis-
latuFe requiring railroad companies to
equip their engines with electric head
lights, stated yesterday that he wished
to give it his most hearty endorsement.
Il am in sympathy with any movement
which has in view the efficiency of the
service of the railroads" he said, .sand
of other public service corporations, and
the protection of life and limb of the
engineer and his passengers.
Il want to give to the man who stands
by the throttle, when he is pIrlnging
through the midnight darkness, at the
rate of forty or fifty miles an hour,
with his cargo of human souls, every
appliance known to this progressive age
in which we are living, to protect him
self and the human freight which he is
hauling. A human life is to me the
most precious thing in the world. When
it is at stake, do not believe in count
ing the dollars and cents, or the cost,
whatever it may be-"

eral Fields of Alaska.

Washington-De for immediate
legislation to permit the beginning OF
the development of Alaska and the OPEN
ing of Alaskan resources is made in
message on the work of the interior de-
partment and other matters sent to con-
gress by President Taft.
While making it plain that he does
not indorse the wide principles OF gov
ernment ownership, nevertheless the
president declares that, in justice to the
Alaskan people and the United States,
congress ought to open the way to al
low the government to construct rail-
road into the rich mineral fields of the
territory.
The chief question among the "other
matters relate to industrial disputes
and the high cost # living. Fhe pres
ident, alarmed by the growing hostility
between capital and labor which twen-
tieth century conditions are fostering,
asks for commission which shall pre-
vent strikes and smooth tie relations
between employers and employees.
President Taft recommends that this
government take the initiative in the
formation of an international commits
sion which shall investigate the causes of
the increase in the prices of the neces-
sities of life the world over.

placing all public utilities under the
jurisdiction of the railroad commission,

The fraternal societies of the state

plexus from the senate committee on
education, which brought in a favorable
report on the Russell bill, providing for
the suppression of the organizations.
The committee brought in an amendment
increasing the drastic feature of the
measure. If the bill passes, and its
advocates claim it will, it will put the
fraternal societies at the university out

the purchase by the university of the
buildings owned by the societies at Ok

The senate committee on Judiciary
brought in favorable report on what
is commonly known as the maniac bill.
The maniac bill" as it has been
dubbed by its opponents provides that
persons may sue for mental anguish
suffered by the slow delivery of a tele-
gram or the delay in telephone messages.
The damages provided for in the bill
are in addition to the actual and puni-
tive damages now provided for by law
and the statutory penalty for delay in
the handling of kilograms and tele-
phone messages. The advocates of the
bill claim that it is necessary in the
interest of the public. The opponents
of the measure contend that there are
ample laws for the recovery of damages
for delayed kilograms and telephone nles
sages.

Washington Finley, of the
Southern Railway Company, announces
that, as means of supplementing the
extensive work being done by the COM
pany for the advancement of agriculture
in the territory traversed by its lines
south of the Potomac and Ohio rivers
and east of the Mississippi, it has been
decided to inaugurate Southern Railway
scholarships in the State Agricultural
College in each state traversed by the
lines of the company.
Mr. Finley will take this matter up
at once with the president of each agri-
cultural college concerned, asking him
to permit the company to pay for the
scholarships and to select the young men
to be benefited by them. The scholar
ships, which are to cover the full four
year course in agriculture, are to be
awarded in accordance with plans to be
agreed upon between the presidents of
the colleges and the railway company
and are to be given TO young men re-
siding in counties traversed by the lines
of the company, and who would other
wise be financially unable to avail them
selves of an agricultural college training.

definitely perfected, full details as to
the scholarship or scholarships to be
awarded in each state, will be an

STEEL MEN DENY
VIOLATION OF LAW
ReckefelIers Deny Part in Formation Of
Steel Trust-Carnegie Co. Not in
Restraint of Trade. -

Trenton, n. J.--Absolute denial OF
alleged violations of the antitrust law
Is made by the United States Steel
Corporation, its subsidiaries and direc-
tors, in their answers fled in the UniteA
States district court here, TO the gov
ernment's dissolution suit. Five sep
arate answers are filed among thirty
three defendants.
The effect of its organization, the cor
poration declares, has been to cheapen
production, effect economies and increase
foreign trade from $4,000, 900 to sec, 0,OOO,
600 annually within ten years. So long
has the government aequiesced in its
existence, the answer says, that it is now
too late, as matter of equity, to insist
that its organization is illegal.
Nothing was withheld from President
Roosevelt by Messrs. Gary and Frick,
on Nov 4, 1907, the answer says, when
they proposed purchase of the Tennes-
see Coal, Iron and Railroad Company.
nor were the so-called Gary dinners pro-
ductive OF agreements to regulate
prices.
The answers made public are those of
the steel corporation Andrew Carnegie,
John ID. Rockefeller, ST., John d. Rookie
feller, Jr., and Edmund G Converse. The
Rockefellers make Joint answer
The Messrs. Rockefeller deny they had
an active part in the formation or maH-
agement of the corporation, the elder
Rockefeller declaring that he has had
no immediate relation to the iron or
steel business since 1901.
Mr.. Carnegie says he had no part in
the plans for organizing the corpora
tion and no voice direct or advisory, in
its management. He admitted selling
the Carnegie Steel Company to the
United States Steel Corporation. but
denies that the acquisition by the Car
negie company of its subsidiaries was in
restraint of trade.
The answer of Edmund C. Converse,
director of the United States Steel Cor
poration, is similar to the corporations
answer.

MAYNARD WIFE AND
LOVER KILL SELVES
GAS ENDS ROMANCE OF MRS.
SNYDAM AND FRED NOBLE.
Husband. From Whom She Ran Away,
But Whom Sht@Loyed, Helped
Break Into Apartments.

New York.-Double suicide Sunday
ended the sensational romance of the
former wife of Walter L. Snydam and
Frederick Noble, the young plumber, for
the love of whom Mrs. Snydam ran away
from her millionaire husband and mar
ried.
Clasped in each others arms, they
were found lifeles~ from gas asphyxia-
tion in their pretty apartment at 81
West Twelfth sweet. There was no
possibility of accident. Their street
clothes had been laid carefully away,
every room had beer put to rights:
They were not happy together. They
really did not love one another. The
young wife never loved any man except
Walter Lisponard Snydam, the million
aire husband, from rAom she ran away
OH September d N Fred 9obie, ehe
son of Brooklyn pluber, knew this;l
knew that she married him only to set
herself as right as might be before the
world He married her only to give her
what standing a wedaing ring might inn
part.
With the excitement of the elopemennt
over with, the newspaper notorlety
came to an end, the final divorce papers
granted and the marriage only three
wrecks ago-a settled thing, the life OF
the runaways became humdrum mo-
notonous affair. There was no newness
for one to find in the other. There were
no friends, save two or three, to gise
them new interests. They had only each
other and their interest in each other
had been nearly played out, when it
should have begun.
my friend, said Louise Snydam
about week ago to one of the few who
stood by them, 'you and | and Fred,
young, needless, cynical, living in this
reckless, town of New York, may laugh
sometimes at old things like the law and
religion, when they say Thou shalt not
We may think that phrase was written

THE wages of sin is DEATH
"But, my friend, there comes to all
of us sometimes the knowledge that the
law and religion are right. What they
say we shall not dove cannot do with
out suffering l have learned that; also
the wages of sin is death. It's worse
than death-it's hell on earth

NEW STATE BANKING Law.
Reduces Expense of Receivership for
Insolvent Institutions.

There is pending before the legisla-
ture what is known as the Kyle bill,
which proposes to create banking
department of the state government,
to be os 40 expense whatever to the
state, as the expense is to be paid out
Of moneys collected from the state
banks for examinations as provided for
In the proposed law.
Most all the states in the union
have banking departments and the
banks are supervised and examined
regularly, penalties being assessed
against officers or employees making
loans out of the bank funds to them
selves without the written approval of
a majority of the board of directors,
and duly recorded in the minutes of
the board. There is also a penalty
against officers and employees overdraw-
ing their accounts with the banks.
A law forbidding officers and employees
to use these funds and providing for ex-
animation to stop this evil, it is argued,
win not only protect the depositors, but
will protect the stockholders, and, to
say the least, is not an unreasonable
law

FAvORS SALE OF PLACE.
Superintendent Gathings Willing to Part
With Rankin Farm.

DR.. }. c. Gathings, superintendent Of
che penitentiary, is heartily in favor of
the sale OF the state convict farm III
Rankin county, as proposed by several
members of the legislature.
''y'here are many practical reasons
why the state should sell the farm in
Rankin," said Superintendent Gathings,
"chief of which is the fact that it has
been operated at steady loss to the
state ever since it was purchased and
converted to this use.
