GOVERNMENT MINING.

The house committee on mines has
summoned certain experts TO enighten
it concerning radium. To the commit
tee has been referred resolutions en-
powering the president TO withdraw
from entry public lands known TO con
tain yadium bearing ores DR.. Howard
A. Kelly Of Baltimore said that he and
his associates were at work to discover
a process for the reduction OF radlum
from the ores of Colorado, and he added
that but one concern now furnished
radium to the medical profession and
that its formula for reduction was held
secret
|. is evident from DR.. Kelly's slate
ment that. private enterprise is busy
seeking 10 make use Of the radio-ac-
tive ores in Colorado and Utah. What
benefit, therefore, can be derived if the
government locks up these Ores9 It is
suggested that the government will take
possession of the ores for the purpose
of reducing radium and preserving IT
for use in curing cancer and other dis
cases for which it may be remedy,
This plan, however, would merely limit
the investigation to a single department
of the government, whereas the rewards
10 be gained from the production OF ra
dunn are sufficiently inviting to inspire
adequate activity on the part of pri-
vate enterprise.
Secretary Lane of the department Of
the interior, despite protests from such
people as the governor OF Colorado and
the commissioner of mines OF the same
state, is described as anxious to with
draw from public entry land supposed
to be radium bearing.
cit is my intention Mr.. Lane
writes to Governor Ammons, "to recon-
mend the exercise of this power (of
withdrawal) only 70 the extent OF re-
tanning in public ownership sufficient
acreage OF lands believed to be valuable
for their radium content to insure the
American people getting the radium
they need at the least possible cost and
with the least possible delay"
Granting his good intentions, it is
pertinent to ask how Mr. Lane expects
tue people 10 get the 'iradium they
need from lands which are withdrawn
from the possibility of development.
There seems to be only one way, aud
that is for the government to go into
the mining business.

How to Build Good Roads.

There is only one right solution of
the road problem. and that is tho con-
structjon of permanent roads. Every
road built wholly or in part with funds
provided by the state or federal gov
ernment should have a length of life
equal to the life of the bonds issued to
raise the money TO pay for them. The
foundation, bridges, culverts and re-
tanning walls at least should have such
durability; otherwise future generations
will find themselves doubly burdened
in paying off these old bonds and at
the same time raising money for the
rebuilding Of the roads

STATE EXHIBITS.

Senator Myers Of Montana believes
that instead of spending large sums for
temporary exhibits at land shows and
other public conventions, the several
states should install permanent exhibits
at the national capital. The initial
steps looking TO the contamination of
such a plan have been taken by the
Montana senator, who proposes the cIea-
tion Of commission 10 work out the
idea and report the result to congress.
Mr., Myers contends that the states
should erect permanent exhibit build
ings in Washington, IN charge Of com
petent men and women, for the exploi-
tation of the state g resources and the
edification not only OF the home seeker
and investor, but of the whole people.
Whether the government could be in
duccd TO extend any aid in the enter
prise could only be determined BIZ tho
action OF congress after the commission
had made It's report.
Practically every tourist from abroad

Is claimed that more people visit Wash
ington during the course of the wear
than any other city. If tho Myers
proposition is put into effect it is prob
able that the number would be largely
increased, as investors as we'll as those
contemplating making change would
be afforded an opportunity for compari-
son and TO learn from reliable sources
the exact situation in any given To-
cality.
Under this plan western and south.
ern states IN search of new settlers
could exploit their land, crops and
natural resources; eastern states tbeir

STOCK MARKET IN
 DOUBTFUL MOOD
Wall Street Sensitive to Sen ate's Action on Federal
 Board Nominees

New York, July 12.--The stock mar ket maintained it's mood of doubt and hesitation last week, influenced by con fusing factors. The governments July crop estimates were supplemented by good weather conditions since that date The firm undertone of speculation for most of the week was due mostly to that cause. Expectancy of the rate decision was constant constraint.
 Importance was attached to the 40- fold applications for the French loan. Applications unified may be said to measure the resources of investment demand for future capital issues. The drawback was in political rumblings in eastern Europe, and also in trade de- pression abroad.
 Guick sale of the Northern Pacific bond offerings and movements in old syndicate holdings of some other bonds marked q better turn in investment conditions here. On the other hand large July maturities of short term notes kept call money rates stiffer.
 President Wilson's friendly profess sions for big business and conferences at the White House over the trust bills were a market subject. but Wall Street sentiment was sentitive as to the course of the Senate on federal re- serve board nominees.
 Steel reports were better Copper sta- tiStics, however were unfavorable

New York, July 12.-Steel mills received small satisfaction from trade develop- ments of last week. Independent mills irregularity. New orders since July indicate a substantial falling off from the June average bookings and there was said to be little in the outlook to en- sourage belief in any important gains in the third quarter Railroads still are conservative. The Pennsylvania refusal to release working orders on it's rail re- quirements caused the Sparrows Point mill to close. Rail mills reported orders way, however, is about to award a con- tract for 37,ooo tons to the Ensley mill The only important car order was 45( for the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
 The June statement of the United States Steel corporation showing a gain of 34.000 tons in unified orders indicated a substantial increase in new contra cts but decrease in output, shipments and in specifications. The Carnegie Steel company hal established an extremely low price of 65 cents per bundle on cot ton ties. Agricultural implement manu- fs cturers are still confning purchases of soft steel bars to the second half ot the year. There were some increase in structural orders.
 The main feature of Interest in pig ilon was the reduction ordered in rail freight rates from Alabama and Virginia furnaces to competitive distributing points in northern, easter nand western territories. Trade continued moderate and prices tended downward

The whole ,taxpaying population of Ul- ster probably will have to pay for the damage done in that province by the mill itant suffragettes. Maj. Gen. Sir Hugh McCalmont, a former unionist member of Parliament, has brought action against the country of Antrim for $55,000 for the destruction of his house, Abbeylands. which was burned by the militants in March. The action Is brought under a law that applies only to Ireland and which was enacted at the time the nation alists were carrying on a militant cam paign in favor of home rule. Under this county is responsible for any damage done by mobs of persons and must also pay for any extra police protection sent in anticipation of violence Should Gen eral McCalmont be successful In his claim the taxpayers of Antrim will have to pay an extra tax of nearly eightpence in the pound next year.

present year. When the export move- ment of gold was at it's height a few weeks ago Max May, who Is now esteemed one of the worlds great authorities upon foreign exchange, was quoted as having said that he thought it likely that ex- ports of gold from the United States, chiefly to Paris, would continue until possibly as much as $75, GOO had been ex- ported. MT. Mays estimate was approx lmately correct, although the actual amount for the first of the year was a little larger. The greater part of this gold has been utilized by the Paris bank CTS to strengthen their reserves. The strengthened reserves and reasonable curtailment of credit. have served tc put France upon very sound financial basis. That IS one of the reasons why 1t was deemed expedient to put out this large loan at this time The reciprocal effect of this cooperation furnished by the United States is certain to be bene- fic,al to this country. Financial and com- nercial conditions in France and Flu. rope will be greatly improved and i'm pavement of that kind never comes with out healthful reaction upon the United States.
 On the day the cable dispatches from Paris told of the unprecedentedly suc- cetsful marketing of the French loan the direction of the mint at Washington 'Soi ec i1. AeoooIts bdiu not oIlc1aly Dul informally and for publication, that ir his opinion there will oe no more gold ex- ports to Europe. at least in any amount until possibly next winter France ap- rareEtly has obtained all the gold that she desires and owing to special reasons the rates now charged for foreign ex- change are so low as to make 1t unprofit- able to export gold.
 In other words sps,ial and highly favor. able conditions in the United States have brought the exportation of gold to g close just at the time when France has obtained all the gold that she needed for the building up. of her reserves and tht strengthening of her financial conditions
 The special reasons given by the di- rector. of the mint are first, the extra ordinarily large grain crops of this coun- try-at least small grains like wheat, rye and oats-and disappointment in like crops in Europe. This will make inevitable very large expectations of wheat in July August and probably in September. MT Roberts estimates that not less than 75,- 0OO.OOO bushels of wheat will have been trsisported from the United States to Great Britain and the continent of Flu rope in July and August If the present promise, somewhat vague, it Is true, be- cause the season Is early yet, of the corn harvest be realized. then there should be continued heavy exportatioh of food products throughout the fall The expor- ts tion of cotton should handsomely sup plement the exports of grain
 It is thought in the financial district that the expcrtation within the past 10 or 12 months of considerably over $100, GOO. .O00 of gold has gone far toward llquids ting our indebtedness to other peoples than our own.

DIVIDING FENCE CAUSES RACE RIOT Many Shots Are Exchanged
 by Whites and
 Negroes

Andalusia, July 12-(Speeial.) .)-Difrer- farms came near resulting in a race riot late yesterday afternoon about three miles west of River Falls in this county. The trouble started between a negro. Primus Bradley. and M. F. Posey, a white man, but before 1t was ended several white families and more than half dozen ne- groes became involved and shots were freely exchanged.
 D. M. Hartsog, Charlie Ard and NJ. F.. Posey. three prosperous white farmers, live near settlement of negroes known as the Bradley negro quarters Primus Bradley and Mir. Posey had d difficulty over a cross fence and Bradley left very much enraged over what he termed mis- treatment. He soon appeared near the home of Charlie Ard with other negroes and begun to fire pistols in the direction of MT. Ards home. Ard, Hartsog and Posey overpowered the negroes and cap tured several pistols, a bowie knife and several hundred rounds of cartridges, and it was thought that would settle the matter.
 The negro men went back to their qN"i 'eiS anu iatei they appeareu Teln- forced with shotguns, and it was then that it was thought that a race riot had been brought on. Between 50 and a hundred shots were exchanged between the two factions but the only real dam age sustained by the white was one white man got hit by stray bullet from one of the guns of the enemy. It is not known what damage, if any, the negroes sus- tained. Warden Jernigan at River Falls was appealed to for help and he at once notified the sheriffs office, who sent dep uties to the scene. When the deputies reached the scene however, the crowd had dispersered and everything was quiet in the settlement.
 Warrants were sworn out this morn ing for more than half a dozen negroes, charging them with assault to murder, and deputies were sent over there to ef- feet the arrests.

New York Eating Suckers
ie New Nork World.

From the New ! Aork World.
 L'anse Mich.--Fishermen have discov- cred that the East offers an excellent market for the usually despised sucker. One firm shipped three tons to New York city last week and mas instructions to forward all the fish 1t procures. Here tofore the bulk of the suckers caught in keweenaw Bay waters have been thrown away or donated to farmers for use in fertilzing fields.
 As the Lake Superior sucker subsists on the same classes of food as do other fish, and as the waters are cold until late In the summer, the i'll favor in which the fish Is held in upper Michigan ap- pears somewhat strange. But with the creation of an eastern demand the fish, ermen see important possibilities.
 There are literally sens of millions of suckers in Lake Superior. So thickly packed are the suckers in some streams on these occasions that 1t actually is possible to walk dry-shod over the backs of the fish from one shore to the other.
