Save Passengers and Grew on
Sinking Vessel.

Yarmouth, N. S., Jan. 15.-Snatched
from what seemed almost certain
death the passengers and crew of the
Royal Mail Packet Cobequid are snug

which she had first made thirty-six
hours before were answered as the
doomed steamer was being racked to
pieces on Trinity rock, six miles off
Port Maitland.

The Cobequid had begun to break
up under the pounding of the terrific
seas that had been continuous from
the time the vessel struck Quanti-

the lifeboats ranged alongside.
The coastal steamers Westport and

ABOUT The STATE
News Of Especial Interest to
Minnesota Readers,
LIND TO RETIRE FROM BOARD
Governor Will Appoint University Re.
gent to Succeed Wilson's En-.
voy to Mexico.

John Lind, special envoy of Presi-
dent Wilson to Mexico and president
of the board of regents of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota, will not succeed
himself on that governing board after
his present term expires on March 4.
Advices from Washington are that
Mr.. Lind's work in Mexico will be
recognized by the present administra-
ton and that almost any post in the
diplomatic service is at the Minneap.
olitan's disposal.
Mr.. Lind has often of late express.
ed to his personal friends his desire
to remain in the diplomatic service.
Governor Eberhart has the power
of the appointment of regent, and
members of the board of regents
have been informally notified that
some one other than Mr. Lind will
receive the appointment in March.
Reports from Mexico are to the ef
feet that Mr.. Lind is ready to give up
his law practice in Minneapolis and
it is understood he will remain in
Mexico until the government of that
country becomes thoroughly organized

Japanese Volcano Resumes Vic.
lent Eruption.

Kagoshima, Japan, Jan. 18.-Two
further violent eruptions of the vol
cano Sakura-Jima, accompanied by q
severe earthquake, have occurred,
causing the collapse of many more
buildings.
Numbers of the inhabitantb of Ka.
goshima, who had returned, fed again
in terror from the city. Ashes are
falling thickly.
The sun looked like ball of blood
over Kagoshima, but it gave no light,
and signals had to be employed on
the railroads. Flying dust was thick
on the streets.
The waters of the Gulf of Kago-
shima seemed to be boiling and the
quantity of floating pumice stone was
so great that it prevented navigation.
Lava is flowing steadily down the
sides of the volcano to the sea, in.
creasing the area of the island, as it
solicited on reaching the water.
1t is still impossible to give any.
thing like an approximate estimate of
the number of victims from the re.
cent eruptions, earthquake and tidal
wave.

MINNESOTA RANKS VERY HIGH
Exceeds Other States in Average
Yield of Several Crops.

ss~'N W SVvSt0u ~tOHSs
More corn more coats, more rye.
more potatoes were produced on the
acre in Minnesota, on the authority
OF the United States department of
agriculture, than in any of nine other
states, constituting in all what might
be called the North Central group.
In the yield of barley to the acre Min
nesota ranks high and in the yield of
hay to the acre Minnesota ranks Sec
ond, but the wheat yield, while above
the average, does not top the column
of state figures.
The government figures have been
compiled by Fred D. Sherman, com.
missioner of immigration for Mime
sofa, with special reference to states
in which natural conditions are SINH
lar. He is preparing to send out to
nearly 10000 correspondents of the
department copies of the tabulation to
convince them that lands in Mime
sofa which can be bought in a wild
state for $40 and when cultivated for
SIS or less is giving greater return,
acre for acre, than the 5000 and $3.50
lands of Illinois, Iowa and other
states.
The government figures show that
while Minnesota is not regarded as a
corn state it raised almost 100000 900
bushels of this crop, the average be-
ing forty bushels an acre. Only one
state in the neighborhood group pro.
duced more than Minnesota's oat
crop of 112,644,000 bushels. That was
Iowa, with a mean yield Of thirty.

ANT|-TRuSTtAW
BIZ in the House Eliminates
"RuIe Of Reason"
AUTHOR C0NSUlTS PRESIDENT
Representative Stanley Of Kentucky
Introduces Measure to Amend
Sherman Statute.

Washington, Jan. 17.-~Representa.
tive Stanley of Kentucky, after a con.
ference with President Wilson, intro.
duced an amendment to the Sherman
law which would make illegal the
monopolization or restraint OF trade
lin any degree"
1t is designed to eliminate the rule
of reason" laid down BY the supreme
court in the Standard Oil case.
The amendment also would invest
the circuit courts Of the United States
with jurisdiction to restrain and pre-.
vent violations of the act, irrespective
of the attorney general.
1t was drawn to meet the wish OF
the president, expressed in his last
message to congress, to reduce the
debatable area surrounding the Sher.
man act
The Stanley bill would amend the
second and fourth sections of the
Sherman law. In section 2, in which
the supreme court injected the rule
of reason" the words in any degree
are inserted so that the section would
read:
Every person who shall monopoliZe
or attempt to monopolize or combine
or conspire with any other person OF
persons, to monopolize it in any de
gree. any part of the trade or com
merce, among the several states, OF
with foreign nations, shall be deemed
guilty of misdemeanor, and on con
viction thereof shall be punished by
fine not exceeding $4,000. or by i'm
prisonment not exceeding one year OF
by both said punishments. in the dis
erection of the court"
Concerning the question of juris
diction in cases of violation of the
trust laws Mr.. Stanley declared that
his amendment would make impossi
BILE any inaction under the act because
remedy would be open to all.
