EFFORTS TO BALK INJUNCTION
Arguments Against Plan to Vote on
Consolidation of Railways
By Associated Press.

Cleveland, Dee. 14.-Efforts to
thwart the injunction proceedings
sought by the General Investment Com
rany of Maine, which would prevent di-
rectors of the Lake Shore Railway Com
pany from voting for consolidation
with the New York Central Railway
Company, at meeting to be held here
December 22, will be made to-day in
common pleas court here, when argu-
ments will be heard. Judge F. f..
Stevens, who will conduct the hearing,

several days.
Suit to prevent the consolidation.
hled several days ago, charges criminal
violation of the Sherman antitrust law
and also of the Valentine trust law of
Ohio against the management of the
two roads and says officials are planning
to deplete the treasury of both roads.
The Court is asked to appoint a receiv-
er to take over the Nickel Plate, Big
-Four, Lake Erie, Chic Central and Indi-
ana Southern roads, all of which, it is
alleged in the suit are controlled by the
Lake Shore, and that at the end Of the
hearing they put under management.

TO COMPLETE q. S. NAVY CHART
More Money Needed for the Work,
Says Captain Washington
By Associated Press.

Washington, Dec. 14.-The need of
more money with which to complete
the American navy's chart equipment
is urged in a statement before the
House Naval committee to-day from
Captain Thomas Washington, in charge
of the naval photographic office, in
which emphasis is laid upon the fact
that the British government S charting
of the world is more complete than
that of any other nation.
Speaking of the survey work of his
bureau especially around Cuba, Cap
tain Washington says he has "no
doubt that had Admiral Cervera known
of these ehennels we found down there
those ships of his might not have gone
into other anchorages and we would
have no knowledge of how to get in
there between those reefs.
1.-The Same,' continues Captain
Washington, "is true of other coasts
that we have surveyed. We keep such
as we deem confidential; do not send
them to other nations and, similarly, L
have no doubt, that the British and
other nations have many more con-
fidential charts than we have. But the
charts THAT the merchant sailors use
we send to other nations as compli-
mentary.'

How Canada Got Its Name

The origin of the name Canada is
strange enough. The Spaniards visited
that country previous to the French
and made particular search for gold
and silver and, finding none, they often
said among themselves, "Aca NADIA, -
meaning "There is nothing here" T"
The Indians, who watched closely.
learned this sentence and its meaning.
Later on the French arrived and the
Indians, who wanted none of their com
pany and supposed they had come on
the same errand as the Spanish, were
desirous to inform them in the Span
ish sentence "Aca NADIA. The French.
who knew as little of the Spanish Ian,
guage as they, supposed that the inees-
sanity recurring sound was the name
of the country and ultimately christ
ened it Canada, which it has borne
ever since.

ART TREASURES OF FRANCE
Precautions That Guard Them at the
Louvre, in Paris

Those who visit the Louvre do not
suspect the labor that is necessary in
keeping the building in order. 1t must
be protected at night against fire and
burglars by watchmen, who, with re-
volvers at hip and dark lanterns in
hand, make their rounds, accompanied
by police dogs.
Upstairs and downstairs and along
the corridors, says the Paris CORE
spondent of the New York "Sun," the
distance they travel amounts to four
miles, and in every room the watch
men must "punch' the clock that
shows whether the rooms have been
inspected and how often.
During the night the most valuable
works of art are kept under lock and
key. When the galleries are closed to
the public a clever piece of mechanism
is set in motion that carries the royal
jewels, worth millions of dollars, into
a special burglar proof chamber. The
