guage to saying that the traction
companies are trying, through the
merger ordinance, to put over raw
skin game, plain on the face of it to
anybody who will look at it. The
Hoyne statement goes on:
''These seven individuals are not
incorporated. Under the laws of this
state only corporations can be au-
thOrized to operate street railways.
Individuals attempting to operate
are exercising powers which can only
be conferred upon corporations, and
their operation is therefore altogeth-
er unlawful.
CAS- the city cannot authorize such
individuals to operate street railways
under it's laws, it follows that the city
can have no legal authority to con-
troll such operation by these individ-
uaIs. The operation is without au-
thority of law, is not subject to legal
control and is wholly irresponsible.
"By the supposed merger Ordi-
nance the companies are thus abb
solved from the responsibility of OPP
Grafton.
There are other conditions i'm
posed by the merger ordinance that
would warrant this proceeding on my
part. The ordinance was skiIlfUlly
and adroitly drawn for the purpose of
confirming in the corporations rights
and privileges which they have
usurped in violation of the 1907 or
dinance, which if held legal would
have conferred upon these companies
great financial returns which by the
1907 ordinance would be preserved
by the people"

Most Rapid Photographs Ever Taken.
The most remarkable set of speed
photographs ever taken are a part of
the war departments exhibit in Ma
chinery Hall at the Panama-Pacif1c In
ternational Exposition, San Francisco.
They are pictures of a shell from p
inch coast defense gun in flight, the
set including the various phases Of
the flight beginning just as the great
prOjectile pokes its nose out Of the
muzzle of the gun.
The pictures were taken with a
lens having an exposure period of
one five.thousandth of a second, this
being the fastest shutter ever manu-
featured. The exposure at the proper
time in the fight of the projectile
was made by breaking an electric cir
cult in q wire stretched across the
trajectory at the desired point and
connecting with the shutter.
One picture shows the shell half
way out of the muzzle before any
smoke and gas has escaped. Another
was taken when the shell was tWa
feet from the muzzle but hidden by a
heavy ring of smoke. A third shows
the shell in fight a hundred feet from
the muzzle. The photographs are 80
perfect and the exposure so rapid that
scarcely any blur is perceptible. They

Cry of Traitor Is Hurled at

Shimada, Who Forces Apology,
Is Target for Attack.

Toxic, May 25.-Today's session of
the house of representatives witnessed
an incident which caused considerable
excitement.
While Foreign Minister Kato was
explaining the Chinese situation to the
house, a member of the opposition
arose and called the foreign minister
a traitor. Thereupon Saburo Shimada,
president of the house, following the
policy of procuring better conditions
in parliamentary procedure, ordered
the member to apologize. This mem
ber did, but his act was Immediately
followed by a violent combined attack
of the opposition on President Shi-
mada, on the charge of having ex-
ceeded his powers. The incident
finally was referred to a committee.
There is considerable uneasiness in
Toxic because of the receipt of private
reports that the anti-Japan agitation
is spreading through south China
There are fears of rioting at HankoW.

GAS AT VALENCIA
Enough Comes to Surface to
Cause an Explosion.
Further Investigation of the
Find VIII Be Made.

That gas has been struck within a
half mile of Valencia is the belief of
several farmers in that vicinity. 1t is
reported that E. L. Morris and George
Adamson found traces of gas on the
Morris farm a few days ago. Further
development is expected.
During the heavy rains, Adamson
and Morris We're out in a pasture and
were startled when they heard a noise
a few feet beneath the surface of the
ground. They dug a small hole and
water spurted up several feet. Then
they plugged the hole up with hay
and later touched the hay with a
match. 1t exploded. According to
Valencia people who know something
of gas, that is an excellent indication
of it.
Morris intends to investigate his
discovery farther and considerable in
terest is being taken in Valencia, re-
garding the matter.

cas- for Americans with a wall of in
volatility that no European nation
shall dare to violate was the slogan
sounded today at the Pan-American
financial conference by DIR. Santiago
Perez Triana, delegate from Colombia.
In a speech that stirred the confer
ence as it has been moved only by
the address of President Wilson, the
Colombian delegate pictured the
prime minister of an unnamed
European nation faced with the prob
lens of over population and restrict
ed territory at home working for the
conquest of the untouched fields of
the western hemisphere.
I'VE in America" he said, should
be prepared to make our inviolability
stronger every day. We have seen
what that inviolibility means by this
war. There may be distrust even in
loving families. There may be dark
corners in the past history of this
continent, but let us see that in the
future our harmony Is transparent
There may have been failures in the
past, but let us forget them. Let the
dead past bury it's dead. Let the ma
tions here represented in solemn and
formal fashion make it manifest that
none of them covet the territory of
any other, and that the homes and
territory of each shall be sacred"

POWER OF A CIGAR.

Berlin, May 25.-The newspaper
Berliner Zeit am Mittag publishes
a field letter in which a German
soldier writes that cigars are a
measure of value among the forces
fighting in France. In number
of villages in which Germans are
quartered, nothing could be
bought, and money therefore lost
all its value. The soldiers in these
villages have absolutely no way 20
spend the coin of the realm and
send most of it home. Cigars, how
ever, have risen in value and form
an object of commercial inter
course. But, while in money ex-
change gold is the fixed standard,
the quality of the cigars is of no
Importance in the present trans
action. 1t does not matter whether
the cigar is a Henry Clay. a ia
prima donna, or a primo, their pur-
chasing power is the same AS a
result quite a number of cigars are
exchanged for other articles. A
piece of sausage is worth four ci-
gars. A pair of wristiets is worth
twenty cigars. A bottle of cognac
is worth thirty cigars. A person.
who desires to have his boots
brushed has the work done for two
cigars.
