The Snowflake herald., 1913-11-07

The beginning of a new, scien-
tific investigation of the indus
trial situation under the direction
of President Wilson, which will
contribute to the administrations
trust legislation program at the
regular session of congress, has
been announced by Commissioner
of Corporations Joseph E. Davies.
Whether a competitive systemof
large units or a monopolistic sys-
tenn is the most advantageous to
society is the question the bureau
will attempt to determine, F." ne
said. He declared that the ulti-
mate solution of the trust prob
lem depended upon the determin-
alton of the question.
The Snowflake herald., 1913-11-07

A week ago the Washington,
Cd. c. newspapers published an
interesting story, vouched for by
Assistant Secretary of State Os-
borne and w. w. Vack, now col
lector of customs of the Domini-
can republic, to the effect that
the remains of Columbus rest in
the cathedral at Santo Domingo.
Osborne urged at the time that
the bones be carried on the first
boat through the Panama canal,
and now comes the San Fran
cisco exposition with a plan to
have this immortal fragment of
humankind taken to the big show
in 1915. It is likely that Spain
will take cognizance of the claims
of the ''Black Republic to fur
nish it's proofs of having the
original relics in it's possession.
However, from the viewpoint of
government officials at Washing
ton, who have carefully investi-
gated the matter, Spain had one
'put over on her" when she at
tempted to run off with all that
remained of the man who used
the proceeds of Queen Isabella's
pawned iewelry at the time when
Uncle Sam was preparing to
spank Don Alfonso's troublesome
bunch down in Cuba.

Peacock, of Galveston, Texas,
from a man in Memphis, Tenn.
The. bill of sale is dated Dec. 19,
1847, and describes the boy,
Rastus, as a healthy young negro
boy on whom there is no mort
gage or lien, and states that a
clean title was being given. The
consideration for the boy was
$675, and when later the boy was
about 20 years old, Capt. Pea
cock was offered So, 600 for him,
but Mrs. Nichols father kept the
darky as long as he lived, and
after the war the negro stayed
with the family and died in their
service. At the close of the war
the darky took Capt. Peacock S
name, and called himself Charley
Peacock. Mrs. Nichols says she
never knew of her father selling
but one slave, although he owned
a number at the breaking out of
the civil war.
