MADE IMMIGRANTS PAY TWICE.
Testimony Against Ship Trust Lines in
Federal Suit.

New York. June 2l.--Immigrant men
and women brought on from New Brit
ain, Conn, testified for the government
in the federal suit to dissolve the So
called shipping trust" Their testimony
was introduced to show, in effect, that
German and Russian immigrants who
bought tickets to America over steam
ship lines not connected with the alleged
shipping pool" were turned back at the
German and Russian frontiers in seek
ing to reach Rotterdam, aad found them
selves forced to get new tickets-tickets
good on the lines charged with being
members of a combination in violation
Of the Sherman law. United States AS
sistant District Attorney Dorr who con-
Quoted the examination of these wit
nesses, declared that their testimony
showed unfair methods adopted by MEM
bers of the pool" to freeze out rivals
and competition in securing immigrant
patronage.
The government will seek to show
that immigrants tickets were held up
by agents or by arrangement with the
steamship companies in the pool" A
letter written by the Holland America
line from its Rotterdam Office to its
New York office, was introduced, the
communication reading in part as fol-
lows:
ut has been decided to apply to the
German government for the establish
ment of control stations at Myslewitz
and Oderberg, by which the Beaver line
ia rivall business could almost entirely
be excluded from transportat on through
Germany"

WANTED TO SEE 1T.
Man Makes Long Journey to Chicago to
View Steam Roller.

Chicago, June 2l.-He wore long coat
that almost concealed pair of boots
and was carrying a small satchel and
whip cane. and around his soft collar
was draped a narrow tie.
This is hasty description OF Simon
Gladstone of Niles. Mich, who created a
sensation in the Congress by inquiring
of Senator Dixon where they kept the
steam roller"
"1've been reading of the thing for two
weeks" he srid, "and concluded to come
down and see how it works. | read in
the paper where it ran over and mangled
2s delegates. | never saw steam roller
that could catch me with an event start;
no, sir
He was informed that the steam roller
was carefully guarded at the Coliseum,
for fear some rude delegate would get
angry at it and box its ears, and Glad
stone lit out for the Coliseum.

Quicksilver Production Increases.

The production of quicksilver in the
United States in 1911 was the great
est since 1907, the total output being
81 ,256 TASKS of Is pounds each, valued
at 1927 $3.50, against production OF 2U,-
60l TASKS, valued at 1858, 1853, in 1910,
according to an advance chapter on
Quicksilver in 1911" by II. d. Meas
KEY, from Mineral Resources of the
United States for 1911" California was
the greatest producer in 1911, with 1860
TASKS. valued at $S67,749, and the Ie-
mander> of the quicksilver came from
Nevada and Texas. While there was
an increase in the output OF quicksil' er
last year, the amount produced was over
5000 TASKS below the average annGai
output of 26,600.5 TASKS for the decade
ending with l9ll United Texas began
production in 1890. California supplied
practically the entire output of the
United States for the last half of Che
nineteenth century.
Quicksilver is consumed mainly in the
manufacture of illuminate for explosive
caps, of yermilion, of drugs, of electric
lighting apparatus, of scientific apparatus,
and in metallurgy in the recovery of gold
and silver principally of goldl by anal.
gamation.
The annual domestic consumption APP
pears to have been in recent years from
$4,000 to $1,000 TASKS, or about equal
to the domestic production. The de-
crease of domestic stocks and higher
prices in 1911, however, caused an in
creased importation of quicksilver-the
heaviest in many years-from 6G7
pounds, valued at 1891, in 1910, to AL
944 pounds or 6,293 TASKS, valued at
1921 1886, in 1911. On the other hand,
our exports of quicksilver decreased from
/ 1923 TASKS, valued at S9l007, in 1910,
to POI TASKS, valued at $l3,995, in l9ll--
the smallest export in many years.

CHRONIC IRON ORE INDUSTRY.
Importations Much Larger Than Domes-
tic Production in 1911.

| tic Production IN 1911.
| The production of chronic iron ore,
or chromite, in the United States in 1911
amounted to 100 long tons, valued at
| 81 500, according to w. c. Phalen in an
| advance chapter from Mineral Resources
of the United States for 1911" just pub
| lshed by the United States geological
survey This figure of production repre-
sents the amount that was actually sold
or entered the market, The quantity
mined was considerably greater, but
some of the ore mined did not enter the
market, owing in part to somewhat
curtailed demand and in part to the diff
Guilty of transporting it, The ore sold
came from Shasta. Siskiyou, and Tehama
counties, California. Some ore was re-
ported as having been mined in Converse
county, Wyoming. California ore is
used principally in the manufacture of
furnace Innings.
Uses of Chromium.
The main uses of chromium are in pig
ments and in connection with special
tanning processes. 1t is also used in fur
mace Innings, to a small extent in steel
alloys, and in the manufacture of other
alloys, among which is one known as
"chromax bronze"
Though the domestic production OF
chronic iron ore in 1911 was small, the
importations We're large. amounting to
81 .450 tons, valued at $407 ,95S. In addi-
ton chronic acid and bichromate of pot
ash were imported to the value Of S3,508.
Chronic iron ore is widely distributed
through areas of serpentine and associat-
ed basic rocks in different parts of the
United States. Such areas have been
found in few localities in the old meta
morphic rocks east of the Appalachian
region from New England to Georgia;
throughout the extent of the Sierra Ne
vada and coast ranges in California, and
at a few points in the Cascade noun
tains 1t is widely disseminated through
many of these areas, but only locally is
il concentrated into workable deposits.
Ore in Foreign Countries.
Within the last few years chromite |
has been produced outside Of the Unitet |
States mainly in New Caledonia, Rhode |
STA, Asia Minor, Russia, Greece, Canada, |
India, and Japan. Mr., Phalen's report |
contains a detailed account of the chro |
mic iron ore of Rhodesia and New Gale
dona, which at present are among the
most important producing countries, and
also description of the mines in Mace
ionia. A copy may be obtained by adj

NO BOOM HERE.

The Graphic wants it distinctly un
 derstood that this is not intended as boom edition. but simply as a reminder to our own people that the time for action is at hand that we are in the midst of the greatest har- vest of our lives. not only a harvest of crops, but a harvest of new capi- tal harvest of manufacturing and home building, and a harvest of health, wealth and prosperity. It is intended as prod, an awakening power to all of our people who have fallen into Comatose state during the long, dull, hot summer months; and who are. 10th to awake to the call of the business sentinel. The statements made in this issue may sound eXtravagant to some, but they are facts just the same, and the let ters published herein from we'll known business men and firms throughout the United States are suf- ficient to convince any one that they are well founded. These opinions. are based upon the statistics published in these columns, together with the circumstances and surroundings in the writers own immediate neighbor- hood and can be relied upon, as they are each and every Une, known to the

gun running activities of the Persian

gun running activities of the Persian gulf
 Now, as a matter of fact, score of years ago, the Persian gulf runners did not excel the gun runners who cleared secretly from United States ports.
 In the old days it was not an un- usual thing for the gun runners or filibusters to clear from New Yorh harbor and take their chance on be- ing caught.
 But this was in the days when re- volt visited South American and West Indian Island republic far more fre- quently than nowadays, and each re- volt, and counter revolution, meant big profits for the man who was willing to risk his ship and life and liberty in taking the cargoes of arms to the quarrelsome republics.
 It used to be the rule that when any army of the great nations chang ed it's armaments, one might expect to see the abandoned type of arms re-appear in the equipment of rag ged brown soldiers, barefoot and poorly caparisoned in all save a good rifle, and plenty of ammunition. The long, low Cuban coast, which stretches on the Western side of the windward passage, which is honey combed with caves and which, it is said, gave shelter to the boards of the Spanish Main, was a favorite re- sort for gun runners in the early days. and many a cargo of contra hand arms was put ashore in Haiti.
 And so, as long, perhaps, as na- tion wars with nation, or as long as revolt and revolution come to any land, the profit to the gun runner will be so great that some activity in the prescribed trade will still exist

Big crops everywhere; factories running day and night with full crews; orders enough to last three months; everybody at work with no labor disputes to cause unrest, banks and clearing houses in first class condition, with money to loan in al most unlimited sums; railroads press ing every available car into service in order to move the bumper wheat and corn crop; the cotton planters SCOUT ing the country in search of cotton pickers to gather the South's fourteen million bale crop of cotton, our gov ernment shipping it's surplus of gold to Europe, the first occurrence of this kind in many years, three can didates in the field for president of these great United States, and mo- body caring a darn which one gets the jch-what more do we want to convince us that we are on the eve of an era of prosperity?

GAME PROTECTION
 BADLY NEEDED
Scme Amendments That Would Pre- vent the Ruthless Destruction 
 of Game.

The next legislature should amend the game laws of Arkansas by insert ing a clause fixing bag limit for quail anG shortening the season to two months. It should also make it unlawful te run deer with dogs ct any time for a period of ten years. A good stiff fine and Imprisonment on the county farm for violation of thes'. laws should be attached Un- less something of this kind is done it is only question of few years
 when both quail and deer will be- come extinct in Arkansas. Both deer and quail have been >ruthlessly slaughtered. in this State, so that now 1t is almost impossible to find a deer anywhere, and where few years agc quail were plentiful only an oc- casional covy can be found. In some places, however, farmers refuse to allow hunting on their premises as a protection to the quail but many of them claim that posting does but little good, as many hunters will take advantage of the absence of the own CT and hunt the fields out, killing every quail they can find, often get ting the last bird. And these same destroyers are usually the loudest in declaring that no true sportsman will Kill every bird in covey. Drastic measures are needed to stop this de- structlon of game, and unless some thing is done, and that soon, Arkan- sss will be as barren of game as fig tree is of fruit in December

chased for $1O each. Across the Mex ican border. they brought $50 Ameri- can gold. The profits-some S32O.OOO went to the men who got the guns across the border.
 The most lucrative market for the gun runner. however, is in the East Indies. The natives there long ago learned that the primitive blow pipe, even with poisoned darts, and the crude war club are not to be com pared with 1903 heavy hitting rifle, when the object to be attained is the extermination of foe, at the safe distance of about a thousand feet.
 The lands about the Persian gulf, too, offer good market for the con- tents of certain long, contraband cases which repose securely in the holds of many steamers of the tramp variety
 Despite the druhbing which Sir Frederick Roberts of the British army fame, administered to the lean, hairy Pathans of the hills of Afghanistan and Beluchistan, which lie back of the Persian gulf the natives are still a warlike lot, and their favcrite oc- cupation, if you recall Kipling's Man Who Was,'' was the pilfering of new carbines. And so, if even a passably sale or trade. these natives will gladly hypothecate all they nave to obtain the weapon.
 In this trade, the American, or Brit ish captain of the gun running" ship merely conveys his contraband goods to the gulf, where they are taken over by Arabs, who in their light draught "dhows' penetrate the reaches of the gulf, take most of the risk, and dispose of the arms. It then becomes a real battle of wits the stolid, watchful British soldiery against the brilliant, willy, craft of the Arab.
 And even when once landed the cargo is still a peril to it's convoy. On camel back it must be whisked through the hills to the secret market places of Kabul or Kandahar.
 It is said that biz banking firms of Bombay and Karachi are behind the
