$4,000 AMERICANS GO.
TO CANADA IN 1911.
THE YEAR 1919 WILL SHOW A
GREAT lNcREAsE.

In report Of the House Committee
(Washington) appears the following:
Canada offers q three-year home
stead upon good land. easily reclaimed
and cultivated, with six months leave
of absence each year and most lenient
regulations"
All Of which is true and It 10 now
the part Of the careful reader to con-
slider the opportunities that exist In
Western Canada which, in addition to
the above, are attractive features.
The evidence Of these is found in the
letters contributed by some Of the
settlers. For instance: A former Min.
nesotan, writing from Warner, South.
ern Alberta, speaks Of that district,
but what he says, applies generally to
all Of Southern Alberta. He says:
Il have seen six crops. four Of them
were first class, one Of them a very
good crop, and the other a poor crop.
Government statistics for the last flf.
t6en years show that this country has
averaged about fifteen or sixteen
inches Of moisture. In 1910 there was
only seven inches, and in 1911 twenty
two inches. The 1909 crop was about
as good as have seen in this coun-
try and we had about twelve inches Of
moisture, so that am thoroughly con-
WINGED that with normal conditions,
that is, from twelve to fifteen inches
Of moisture, and with the natural in
crease Of population and immigration,
that Southern Alberta will be one Of
the very best mixed farming districts
in the world. We have good soil, good
water, and good climate, and alto
gether just as desirable a country to
live in as Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, or
Wisconsin"
Hundreds Of letters are on file from
former American settlers, which give
good reasons why the Western Can
ada lands are being settled 80 rapidly.

the same day that the Declaration Of
Independence was issued, July I, COM
mittee to devise a seal was created.
While present-day Americans have
always been informed by writer's, his
torians and orators Of the intense
heat Of that suspicious Fourth Of
July. and that because Of the almost
unbearable atmosphere Of the sultry
weather prevailing the delegates a.
sembled. hastily debated and quickly

ity Of an entry found among Jeffer.
sons stray notes. an entry never until
now given printed publicity. Innum-
cradle writer's have drawn highly col
ored word pictures Of the dreadful and
stifing weather conditions existing on
that memorable day. but We submit
that far more reliance is to be placed
on tho evidence penned by q distin-
guished and careful observer who was
present on the occasion in the role Of
an active and honorable delegate.

political leanings Of the author. When
submitting the sketch Of a proposed
seal he addressed the committee ~
follows:
"As I have already observed, DR..
Franklin's and my thoughts, by some
unexplainable coincidence are very
similar. inasmuch that we have both
sought to symbolic Liberty; and
Furthermore as a typical illustration
Of the elimination Of slavery, chose

these King-ridden people, 1t is my pri.

that the success Of the Hebrews was

cloud by day and pillar Of fire. by
night, on the latter Hengist and Horsa
the Saxon chiefs, from whom we claim
the honor Of being descended, and
government we are now about to as.
sumo"
The history Of Hengist and Horsa is
one of great interest, and anyone
thoroughly absorbed in the story Of
the seal can not afford to miss It.
Jefferson believed that indirectly we
inherited from these bold Germans
our form Of government. The history
Of England begins shortly before the
Christian era (55 B. c., when Caesar
first landed and conquered an un-
civilized race known as the Britons.
The Romans about the third century
had effected marked changes in the
island and had established the Chris.
tan religion. and introduced Roman
laws and rules. but the Britons, q
barbarous race, 30 necessarily attack.
ed them. that late In the nth century
they abandoned England.
Hengist and Horsa were the leaders
Of the Saxons. or Germans. who dis
puted the ownership Of the British soil
and finally conquered the country.
They were defeated In three battles,
Horsa being slain in action at Eggles-
ford (455). Hengist Immediately took
possession Of Kent and nearly the
entire southern half Of England. He
established his court at Canterbury.
and the laws which he enforced were
in good taste with governments Of
that early period. He reigned about
30 years, and laid the foundation of
that Great England which has occu-
pied 80 large q space In the history
Of the world. 4e .s
Jefferson was somewhat nettled
over the disfavor shown his designs
by tho critics Of the Continental Con.
gress. and betrayed his annoyance
when he wrote: ~
III the Continental Congress- will
not accept the stirring motto, Re.
bellion to Tyrants Ia Obedience to
Cod will employ It in my personal
seal"
This resolution was Immediately
carried out, for he had an engraver
produce seal with ''T J" in script,
with the classic motto placed about
the border. The symbolic designs
evolved by Jefferson. were many and

the minds Of those who look upon
him a. one Of the most commanding
figures in the ranks Of the nberators
who participated In the struggle
against British supremacy.
There are continually strange and
uncommon items relating to Jeffer-
sons career coming to the surface,
and what an author fifty years ago
cast aside as unimportant and not
worthy Of publication. the researcher
Of today Is apt to pronounce welcome
additions to biographical knowledge.
Some Of the early scripts Of Jefferson.
now In the possession Of Miss Sarah
N. Randolph reat-granddaughter Of
the famous Virgfnian-were hastily ex-
amined by William Curtis, who wrote
life Of Jefferson, and much of the
material therein contained was not
considered available for his purpose.
Among these documents are now dis-
covered certain items discarded by
tho distinguished biographer. but,
which nevertheless proved Of much
importance in deciphering very es-
sential element in the heraldic a.
well a. religious suggestions made by
Jefferson during the formative period
OF our republic.
Among these seemingly unimportant
notes and memoranda appears evil
denco to the effect that in 1774, two
years before Jefferson wrote the
Declaration Of Independence, he used
the term United States of America"
the first time that such present-day
denomination was given to the con-
decorating colonies. Further con-
formation Of Jefferson's deep fore
sight is found In the same record, or
semi-diary. Of 177l, where the follow
ing remarkable entry occurs:

AGREED DECREE
IN ALUMINIUM
CASE ENTERED
1T ABROGATES ALLEGED UN-
LAWFUL CONTRACTS AND RE-
STRAINS THE COMPANY FROM
NEGOTIATING SIMILAR PACTS

Pittsburg, June Ito destroy the
alleged substantial monopoly of the
so called Aluminium trust, an agreed
decree was entered in the United
States district court here today
against the Aluminium Company of
America Following closely the prayer
of the federal government in its civil
anti trust suit filed a few weeks ago
charging the corporation with mo-
nopolizing the industry, the decree
abrogates alleged unlawful contracts
and restrains the defendant company
from negotiating similar pacts or pur-
suing unfair methods towards COM
petitors.
The decree was consented to by the
Aluminium Company as a result of
protracted negotiations with Attor-
ney General Wickersham prior to the
filing of the suit. The mandate was
drawn and accepted by both the gov
ernment and the defendant long be-
first time a decree has been agreed
upon under the Sherman law before
the court proceedings had been
started.
The company is forbidden to par
ticipate in any combination or agree
ment to control the output or prices
of aluminium. The decree places a
long list of specified unfair methods
to competitors under the ban of the
court.
Whenever It Is shown that sub
stantial competition has arisen in the
aluminium inG2stry the decree may
be modified UPON the producticn of
evidence that Il is working an in
Justice. Application for modification
cannot be made more often than once
in every three years. however.

New York June 7.-Medill McCor-
mick, Chicago newspaper man and one
Of the Roosevelt field marshals, de-
clared here recently that Mr.. Roose-
velts attitude toward Senator Roots
candidacy had been misrepresented
when if was reported the ex-president
would withdraw opposition to the Sc
lection of the senator as temporary
chairman.
From the start" said Mr. McCor-
mick, Col. Roosevelt has stood con-
sistently against Senator Root for
chairman. No one who had Mr.. Roose-
velt's interest at heart advised that
the fight on Senator Root be discon
tinued. Some one evidently got the
wrong impression OF where the colonel
stood and returned from Oyster Bay
predicting that he would accept Mr.
Root Mr.. RooseveIt's statement, !
think, is forceful enough TO indicate
that such an idea never entered his
mind"
Mr.. Mccormick declared that II the

session at Chicago, decides the many
delegate contests fairly. Mr.. Roosevelt

Chicago June Twenty four dele
gates from Alabama and Arkansas
were added today to the Taft column
by the action OF the Republican ma
tional committee on the so-called
Roosevelt contests in those states. All
contests presented before the commit.
tee were unanimous. The cases de-
cided today were those Of six delegates
at large and two each In the First,
Second, Fifth, Sixth and Ninth con-
gressional districts of Alabama, and
four delegates at large and two each
in the First and Second districts Of
Arkansas. There remains to be heard
OF the Arkansas contests those in the
Third, Fourth, Fifth aud Seventh dis
trictA The contest over the six dele
gates at large from Arizona was post
Poned.
Mn view OF the bitter feeling between
tfYe Taft and Roosevelt adherents the
meeting was surprisingly peaceful.
The opening contest arose over the
renewal by Senator Borah OF Idaho,
OF his motion of yesterday which would
permit only eight members OF the COM
mittee 70 demand a roll call instead
of twenty provided by the existing
rules. The motion was tabled.
In the Ninth Alabama district con-
test the Taft delegates were seated by
a vote OF 3S to Is. The incident of the
day was the rejection by a unanimous
vote OF the brief OF J. A. Conner, OF
Little Rock. in the. Arkansas delegates
at large case, on the ground that II
contained Indecent and insulting Ian
guage."
Tomorrow's work will begin with
the remaining Arkansas cases and
probably viii be followed by the Flor
ida cases. which cover six delegates at
large and two from each OF the three
districts.
IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER.
The understanding was at the open
ing Of the committees session that the
contests would be considered In alpha
betical order-Alabama first. This
states contests involve the six dele
gates at large and the delegates from
hve districts
Next would come Arizonas six at
large and then Arkansas four at large
and the delegates from the First, Sec
ond, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Seventh
districts. With thirty minutes time
allowed each side for presentation of
the cases involving delegations at
large and fifteen minutes per side for
the district contests. II was evident
that even the best possible economy of
time would find the long list barely
started at the end of the days work.
The Roosevelt attorneys refused, prior
to the meeting of the committee, to
make public any of their briefs or
arguments In the Alabama case.
Copies for the Roosevelt side were
made for the press only as the cases
were called up by the committee.
SENATOR BORAH AGAIN.
Senator Borah again made a motion
providing that by a request OF eight
members the roll should be called.
Again 1t was defeated.
This result crystalized the impres-
sion that the thirty mine to thirteen
votes OF yesterday really represents
the relative Taft and the anti Taft
strength in the committee.
Senator Borah. speaking for his mo-
ton, said he knew the other side had
votes to seat any delegates they de-
sired to.

Boston, June 7.-Rioting broke out
again this evening In connection with
the strike of employees of the elevated
railway company, which began this
morning. Three policemen were beat
en-. There we're several arrests. The
strike spread tonight to the service of
the metropolitan district
Violence marked the Beginning of
the strike early today. Those who re-
fused to work demanded recognition
by the company of recently formed
union The company in reply say they
have treated men unusually well for
many years. and refuse to deal with
them other than individually.
Although the strike had been
threatened for a weeH or more, II
came shortly after 4 a. IA, with a sud
denness and Clash that surprised not
only the company officials, but the po-
lice of Boston, Brookline, Cambridge,
Somerville. Everett, Chelsea and Med
ford. The men had been discussing
the matter nearly all night at a mass
meeting and as daylight was breaking
1t was decided to take vote. AS soon
as 1t was seen that those in favor of
going out were in the majority the
gathering OF nearly 1000 men began
cheering and rush was made for
the first early morning cars.
EMPLOYEES BEATEN
The hrst one was met near the hall.
The car was stopped, windows smash
ed and the motorman snd conductor
badly beaten. A number Of passen-
gers were rushed out of the car al
though none was injured. AS the clash
was proceef g q mail car came into
sight and rrssl knIz3rg G authority OF
the government those VINO had stopped
the first car suddenly ceased activities
and permitted the cars to resume their
way.
A few minutes later word Of the
strike had reached the vicinity of the
North station and there two other
cars were stopped. windows smashed,
some of the gearing disabled and sew
eral passengers were slightly injured
by flying glass.
A crowd coming from the direction
Of strike headquarters .encircled sew
eral cars on Adams Square about
O'Clock and more violence ensued.
A dozen men rushed down in the
Cambridge subway as the first car was
about to start and tried to persuade
the train hands to join them. They
were unsuccessful. About the same
time four of the new semi i-convertible
viaduct cars were badly smashed. The
outbreak in Charlestown was almost
as severe, while similar occurrences
took place in Everett and Chelsea
1t was announced during the fore
noon that the actua; vote in favor OF
a strike was 1889 to g.
The strike committee claims that up
to the time Of calling the strike todey
goo men had signed union papers
and had paid the initiation fee. AT the
same time the company issued a
statement that $500 employees still
were loyal to the company.
Four hours after the strike began
cars were running on nearly all lines
but with about half the usual fre-
qusncy.

MiddIetown, Conn, June 7.-Seversl
strikers and police officers were hurt
in a riot today at the South Farms
mills of the Russell Manufacturing Co.
Four hundred employees demand an
advance in wages and readJustment of
working conditions.
One of the strikers, a woman, was
so badly hurt that she had to be sent
to q hospital In anticipation of dis
turbances the police and a large force
of deputies. including about a dozea
Wesleyan University students. were
stationed near the mills this morning
More than 200 strikers had assembled
and when the employees who had not
struck started through the police line,
bodies of strikers rushed the police
and broke through the line. Missiles
were hurled at the officers who in turn
used their clubs freely. The rioters
were dispersed.
