SINGS IN PRAISE
 OF WINDHAM BAY

William Nightingale, of Seattle, who is interested in the Windham Bay sec tion, says that although that region
 has been consistently knocked" it has the stuff. "There is big show ing there," Mr. Nightingale said. "lt is a wonderful country, and has a great future. The best property there, so far as it has been developed is that owned by Fred Trumpf. It is prom ising, but like most quartz regions, what is needed at Windham is money to develop that district, have been working hard to get capital interest ed there, and am making progress because I ;;now that there is one of the best opportunities in Alaska, right in that district for mining men who have money to invest. It will come out all right in time, but we would like to make it move triflle faster" ,"

Grand Duke Nicholas Alexandra witch. of Russia, who was met in Flu rope recently by a correspondent, talked much about America, which he thinks the finest country in the world.
 Stop your human inflow" he warned Hospitality is one of the finest traditions of the American peo' ple. but a Russian proverb says the man whose house is always full of guests goes wrong. You cannot pos sibly assimilate all these Slavonic and Jewish emigrants. You will soon feel the painful results of ethnograph- ical indigestion. Shut your doors and wait a bit. Give yourselves time to form an intelligent working ell ss' Then you can conquer the world if you will"
 The Grand Duke writes many books and is going to publish soon a history of Russia. Much of his time is spent hunting up the contents of archives. He is too liberal minded to work with the bureaucracy, though the czar has often asked him. A tall kingly looking man of fifty, he trav' els with one soldier servant, who takes his meals with his master, sitting down at the dining car table with him. To see them together, the servant slouching before <his master. with his hands in his pockets and a cigarette between his lips, you would say that democratic opinions prevail in Rus sia. But when in St, Petersburg, the Grand Duke has his own court and lives in pomp.

Special Correspondence)
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 25. = The brief of the United States in the United Shoe Machinery Company case. asking the Supreme Court to reverse the judgment of the District Court of Massachusetts, was made public today. The brief is in support of the contention that the defendants violated the sherman Antitrust act In by combining into one hand about so Der cent of the entire interstate commerce in shoe machinery, and (2) by adopting a series of leases con taining so.called tying" clause whereby every patron, in order to secure any one kind of machine from the combine" was compelled to agree (a) not to use any other ma chine (even if of a totally different character) made by the "independ- ents," and (b) to use only machinery made by the combine.
 The brief. which was prepared by Solicitor-General Bullitt, argues that the criminal provisions of the Sher- man Antitrust act are constitutional, and that individuals are criminally liable for acts done through the in- strumentality of a corporation which they actively procure to be done.
 It is argued that the combination of three groups of defendants into one group acting under the name of the United Shoe Machinery Company con. stituted a combination and conspiracy in restraint of trade in violation of the sherman law; that the system of tying leases adopted by the defendants is in direct restraint of interstate trade and commerce, and is not authorized by the Patent laws of the United States.
 Prior to Feb. ', 1899, the manufact- ure of shoe machinery was distribut- ed among several distinct groups of makers. as follows: The Consolidat- ed group. the Mckay and the Good year group. Each of the above groups of defendants was separate and independent from the others. The manufacture of the machinery was all in Massachusetts, but the defend ants were engaged in shipping shoe machinery made to thirty-three other States, under contracts of sale and lease, and were engaged in interstate commerce,
 The defendants, the brief contin- ues engaged in q combination and conspiracy in restraint both of their own trade and that of the shoe man. ufacturers for the purpose of giving each group power and control over interstate commerce not permitted by letters of patent, and all to the end of raising the price of shoe machinery, discouraging inventions and prevent ing others from furnishing shoe ma chinery in competition with the de- fendants.

Denver.JRadical changes for the
perfection of the state motor vehicle
law will be presented to the, next
Legislature, according to Secretary Of
State Pearce, who is completing his
plans for the registrations for 1914.
which will start January /.
The law passed by the last Legisla.
ture which went into effect July IL v
considered big success for a new
measure. but there are many changes
which the secretary of state and mo
torists believe should be made as soon
a. possible.
The most radical change to bo
made 10 the raising Of all registration
fees. Secretary Pearce would Issue
no license under IS. According to him
all motor vehicles up to twenty-horse-
power should pay a registration fec
of S.. Cars rated between 20 and 40
horsepower on this basis would pay
$40 instead Of IS, and cars above 40
horsepower would be charged SIS. Un-
der the present law cars under 90
horsepower are registered for $3.50.
1t is said that the charge of 81 for
chauffeur's license does not pay the
clerical expense Of issuing 1t, and 1t
is suggested that the fee be raised
to IS.
Motorcycles which are charged 81
now will be raised to license fee
of IS II the plans Of the secretary OF
state are carried out.
1t 70 planned to have q regular H.
cense for motorcycles under the re-
vised law. Under the present meas.
ure the riders of these machines OBJ
tain their numbers and paint them on
the mud-guard of their machine. This
method is considered unsatisfactory
and police officers have in many cases
Of speeding been unable to identity
these numbers.
The secretary Of state is planning
to order 1900 license tags for 1914.
The tags will be OF steel covered with
porcelain baked enamel and will have
blue background with white nu.
merals.
The motor vehicle law in the first
year Of its existence brought the state
$4,000. Pearce sent out vouchers to
the counties amounting to $1,000.
