COAL SITUATION
SERIOUS JUDGE
GRAY BELIEVES

Judge George Gray, Of the United
States Court of Appeals, who was a
member of the commission appointed
by President Roosevelt to settle the
last anthracite coal strike, declared
yesterday that the present situation
was a serious one, but refrained from
making a formal statement. ITS one
side or the other declared Judge
Gray, "and anything l might say now
would not help to bring matters TO a
settlement The situation is a serious
one and anything said by me might
possibly be misconstrued.
Many Wilmington firms are laying
in big supply of coal to be prepared
for any emergency. The Joseph
Stoeckle Brewing Company is using Il
yard at Carpenter and Adams streets
for the storage of coal and many ex-
ira carloads of fuel have been ordered
by the company The same precau-
tions are being taken by industrial
plants so as not to be caught with a

The End o. the v rid.

Although our earth cannot in any
vital sense last longer than the sun. il
may last less long for intrinsic cause.
Life is dependent not only on the sun,
but on the presence OF air. When this
air departs life will depart too. Now
the earth's air is going slowly, but
surely. evaporating into space If IL
all goes before the sun becomes ex-
tinct the earth's surface life will
lapse while the sun still shines. Both
processes es-the evaporation Of the air
and the cooling OF the sun-will re-
quire long eras Of time. but the second
process will be much the slower OF the
two. SO we may expect the last in.

GOVERNORS ACTION
HANGS UP SALARIES

With the present legal status of Dis
trict Attorney Cameron, Of Multnomah
county, in doubt, both he and his dep
uties will have to fOuego any advances
on his of their salaries, ana may have
to forego their salaries for awhile, un-
less the courts render a decision be-
fore October on the subject.
The salaries are paid quarterly and
the next warrant would be due in oc-
tober, but for the purpose Of accom-
modating the district attorney and his
deputies the state treasurer has fol-
lowed the policy Of advancing their
salary each month. Unable to say
now, however. whether Cameron Is
district attorney he'will not be able to
make any advances until the court
rules on the subject, and should It not
rule by the time the warrant is due
then the secretary Of state will be in
doubt as to whether he can draw a
warrant.

SAY COMPANY
HAS VIOLATED
The STATE LAW

That the American Life 4 Accident
Insurance company, Of Portland has
violated the insurance laws of the
state by loanlng It's assets to It's stock
holders is the contention of the state
in the suit brought against Insurance
Commissioner Ferguson by the COM
pany TO restrain him from revoiing its
license, and evidence has been intro
duced before Judge Galloway in sup
port Of that contention which Is to the
effect the company took q 100000
mortgage from two of It's stockholders.
This mortgage was executed by the
Marietta Realty comany in which i, o.
Ralston and his wife hold all the stock
save one share. The consideration Of
the mortgage was notes taken by the
insurance company, and as Ralston
and his wife are also stockholders in
the insurance company It is contend
ed that II was a loan Of the assets to
stockholders Such assets, notes and
mortgages, It is provided by law, can
not be considered by the insurance
commissioner as assets.
Evidence was also adduced to show
that stockholders of the company had
given notes for stock instead Of cash
and that Is also contended by the at
torney-general to not be in pursuance
of law. Further evidence as to the
effect that d. j. McCallum subscribed
for $500 shares Of the company in
order to enable It to organize, but that
he did not pay for II at the time, but
sold much Of the stock on commission.
This afternoon John Richardson,
who made an examination Of the as
sets Of the company, and on whose re-
port the insurance commissioner sus-
pended the license Of the company and
would have revoked II had he not been
will go on the stand. He will be the
last witness for the state, and the
company will then introduce rebuttlng
testimony. The company intends that
It's transactions are in every way legal,
that It has enough assets to entitle It
to license, and that the insurance
commissioner is not within the law in
suspending It's license and threaten
Ing to revoke It.
AS the insurance commissioner is
determined to revoke the company's
license until assets satisfactory to him
are furnished, and the company is
confident that those offered meet the
requirements OF the law the case will
likely go to the supreme court for fin
al adjudication, no matter how Judge
Galloway decides

81 have not made up my mind that
the abolition of capital punishment
would be an unmixed good. One Of
the strongest points in favor of the
removal of the death penalty is the
fact that under existing conditions the
law works unevenly The poor man
suffers the extreme penalty; the rich
man, by long drawn out legal process
es, usually escapes the extreme pen

"The governor of the state, howev-
er, does not make the laws; 1t is for
him to enforce the laws as made. Ny
general attitude, however, as hereto
fore expressed, is that the lieutenant
