IXTY YEARS AGO A AGE-SELLER-TODAY
HENRY MILLER is BIGGEST CATTLE KING
JUNGME

BY JACK JUNGMEYER
San Francisco, CAL, March 13.-
On an empire of nearly a million
acres in the heart of California rests
the brand of the big ''M.'
1t is the possessive mark of Henry
Miller, biggest land and cattle king
in the United States, and one of the
most remarkable surviving figures of
pioneer days. 49,.
Standing for the titanic labors and
visions of an illiterate sausage-maker
who became an American monarch,
the big "M'' links the prodigality of
the old West with the energies of
man who took full advantage of it.
Cattle roaming thousand hills
bear this brand on their TANKS. Whole
valleys and rivers, counties and
towns, are under its dominance.
Miller's fortune is rated at over
$50,O00,0O0..
The state inheritance tax alone
will top $5,OOO,OOO.
Divided into 40-acre farms, his
holdings would stretch in a solid band
from the Golden Gate to New York
City and back across Ohio.
In agrarian population these lands
are capable of supporting a million
people. Alfalfa alone covers over
100000 acres-feed for the stock.
Producer, wholesaler and retailer,
Miller for years practically controlled
beef prices on the coast, and is still
dominating factor.
His chain of ranches and ranges
extend over Is California counties,
beside land in Oregon and Nevada.
The claim is made that Miller can
drive his cattle from the Mexican
border to the Columbia and corral
them on his own pastures every
night.
Nearly 10000 employees call him
"boss."
Such is the principality of the big

EXISTENCE ENDED
WITH ITS REPORT
TO LEGISLATURE
Unofficial View of the Status of
the Morris Canal lnvesti-
cation Committee.
Ispecial to the Evehing STAR /

TRENTON. May 26.-The Morris

cording to all advices here, ceased to
be body with authority or working
power,when the Legislature. to which
received and acted upon the report
and accompanying bills.
The adverse report on the Morris
Canal abandonment bills, introduced
by Assemblyman Carlton Godfrey, of
! Atlantic county, chairman of the
Morris Canal investigation committee.
was as thoroughly an action" by the
Legislature as if the bills had been
passed and enacted into law.
This is the general Interpretation.
| although no definite legal opinion
from officials authorized to furnish
opinions in matters of this kind has
been given.
Had the Legislature Of 1914 been
called into special session, Assembly
Godfrey would, it Is said, have been
| in a position to work to gain a favor
/ able report or consideration of his
| bills and his colleagues on the COM
mittee would have been Justified in
lending every legitimate effort to get
the measures on the calendar and
pass them.
! 1t is the belief here that Governor
| Fielder, divining intentions and ap-
preciating just what could be done
and would be done in the canal aban-
donment matter took such pro-
nounced stand against calling a spe-
cial session of the Legislature.
Governor Was Apprehensive.
But for the Morris canal abandon
ment phantom it is thought that the
| governor could have been prevailed
upon to call the legislators together
to patch up the sadly botched Hen
messy laws. A sine die adjournment
ended all chances of canal abandon
ment.
Had the Legislature any idea of
continuing the committee in exist
=, ence, it is pointed out, it would not
merely have appropriated $3.50 to set
! tie few outstanding accounts, but
would have voted several thousand
! dollars to carry on the work of in
vestigation and preparation and an
nounce that the committee would be
| expected to report to a future Legis-
lature. This was not done.
With the final report of the com
mittee and the expending of the
| IS. 900 appropriated by the Legislature
4
of 1913 to meet the terms of the joint
resolution of 1912 and action on the
bills, the whole matter is looked upon
here as O. closed incident.
The opinion expressed in the gov
ernor's office today was that the
committee is dead"
Information of the meeting in the
offices of former Assemblyman Fred
Stickel, jr., secretary to the commit
tee, in the Prudential building, New
ark, has reached here. The idea OF
the committee in deciding to con-
tinue work and report to the Legis-
lature of 1915, is considered a singu-
lar enc.
There is nothing to prevent Assem-
blyman Carlton, or anyone else,
operating on his own hook, to agitate
canal abandonment legislation, 1t is
admitted, but as a representative OF
the State government the proposition
assumes an entirely different phase.

GUARD AGAINST
OUTBREAKSAT
IRISH ELECTION
No Disorder Has Occurred as
Yet-Home Rule a Fact.
Says Redmond.

| LONDON. MAY 26.LWith Dublin
coustables in Belfast and armed po-
lice watching the County Council
election in County Tyre, the situation
ia Ulster was tense today and the
anxious eyes of the government were
on the North of Ireland. To the sur
prise of the public. Ulster was quiet
today. but it was feared that if the
result of the Tyrone election went
against the Orangemen rioting and
grave disorder might result Blood
SIZED was admittedly a possibility.
In Belfast 300 constables with rifles
and revolvers were on guard, sent
there from Dublin. In Tyrone the
police were under instructions to
carry their revolvers all day. Parlia-
ment was not in session today, hav-
ing adjourned until June Is after the
first reading of the home rule bill in
the House of Lords. The measure
probably will come up for second
reading and amendment about June
II.
The heavy guard of armed police
sent to Belfast as a precautionary
move has had nothing TO do. Not
the slightest disorder has thus far
occurred. Dublin took the news
calmly, but in Limerick the citizens
celebrated with fireworks and bands.
In a long statement concerning the
passage of the bill in the House of
Commons, John Redmond, the Ma
tionalist leader, said in part:
There are only two eventualities,
and both of them are impossible,
which could possibly prevent the
home rule bill from becoming a
statute in a few weeks time. The
first is that the present session OF
Parliament should come to an abrupt
end before one month from this date
an utterly unthinkable proposition
and the other is that the House of
Commons should suddenly go mad
and pass a resolution to the erect
that the bill should not be presented
for the royal assent.
"The lords have no power to stop II,
and even the government has no
power to prevent it from going In the
ordinary course to the throne for the
royal assent
AT one time there were people idi-
otic and irresponsible enough to sug-
gest that the king could or would
withhold the royal assent, but every
one now admits that this is an abso-
lutely absurd and impossible sugges-
ton"
The real fight on the home rule bill
will begin in the House of LORDS IN
the latter part of next month, Wnen
the Whitsuntide holidays are over.

Want Official Grade

knowledge that these bodies are no
longer in favor of the establishment
of a mutual grade for the laying of
sidewalks on Madison avenue from
Kings road to the easterly side line

decision, it is understood, has come
because Charles Neis, who has been

recommend that the church members
favor an Official grade.

engagement of Prince Oskar, fifth
son of the German emperor and en-
press, to Countess Won Bassewitz-
Levetzow. maid of honor to the en-
press, was announced today. The
prince is twenty-six years old.
Lively comment was aroused by the
announcement of the engagement
owing to the fact that the marriage
will be the first morganatic union
which has occurred in the Hohen-

that year Prince Albreeht of Prussia,
brother of the old. Emperor William,
and the then ks>g of Prussia, mar

who consented to the engagement,

here, decided las night to submit the
proposed basis of union between the
Southern Presbyterians and the
United Presbyterian Church of North

ton next year, and the result will
be reported to the general assembly

Rev. l.. e. McNair, of Nashville,
Tenn, today presented a report which
told Of the work of the American
Bible Society acting in conjunction
with the various denominations
Last year 1,706,459 bibles were dis
tributed through the nine home
agencies. This was an increase of
2S0,222 volumes over the preceding
year. No account was taken in these
figures of the society's distribution of
bibles through the trade. The total
issue for the year was five and one
half million copies, an increase of
more than one million over the year
before.
In commenting on the report, Rev
NJ. d. Porter, of Richmond. Va, as
serted that the best way to American
ize immigrants was through the Bible.
IF we could put the Bible into the
hands of every emigrant who enters
our country, the problem would be
solved" he said.

which is the dscusson of the report of

STATES PASSES

TRENTON, May 26-The Pennsyl-

a decided stand against the use of
passes issued by the secretary of
state to State officials. It cut of the
passes of Edward L. Hermann, Sec
retary TO Governor Fielder; Gardner
Colby, secretary of the State Civil
Service Commission; John w. Wese-
man, custodian of the State capital,
and many other officials.
1t is understood that the company
stands on the old general railroad
law, which designated the Governor,
chancellor. justices of the courts, and
the secretary of state, attorney gen.
eral. chancery clerk and Supreme
Court clerk, as well as the members
of the Legislature, as the persons en-
titled to ride free on their lines.
1t is believed that the company
wishes to force the matter into the
courts.
This follows the action of the Della
