From this point the government to-
day went farther into the more or less
familiar history of the New Haven's s
troubles in getting permanent control,
of the Boston & Maine which culmln-
ated in 1909 in the passage by the
Massachusetts legislature OF q law en-
abling the New Haven legally to con-
troll the 100000 shares of Boston g.
Maine stock 1t had acquired. -
The government met q setback,
however. when the court ruled. that no
evidence as to possible corruption of
the legislature was admissible. Judge
Hunt held that no such means We're
alleged in the indictment as having
been used by the New Haven to gain
Its alleged monopoly Of New England
transportation traffic. ...t
The setback came when Attorney
Bats INQUIRED of Mr.. Mellen who the
New Haven's legislative agent was in
1908. This was at the time when the
New Haven had been restrained by
an act of the Massachusetts legislat-
ure. called the Cole bill. from eXercis-
ing any control over it's Boston q
Maine holdings. The government
wanted to show that at this time the
New Haven through legislative activ-
.ity was preparing the way Tor the
enabling bill passed the following
wear. Mr., Mellen was allowed to state
that the New Haven employed leg1sla-
tive agents and counsel, and that
Timothy e. Byrnes made reports to
them on legislative matters. No action
affecting the New Haven was, how
ever, taken in 1908. said Mr.. Mellen,
although t"every statesman in Mas
sachusetts had some legislation he
wanted passed to regulate railroads"
The famous Billiard deal, whereby
it is alleged the New Haven fictitt-
ously transferred it's Boston. & Maine
holdings to John l.. Billiard of Meri :
den, Conn, after the Cole legislativ G
act expired, also was the subject OF
testimony but the occasion, too, of
long argument by COUNSEL which was
unfinished when court adjourned for
the day. The defense objected to the
admission of the testimony on the
ground that Billiard and his concern
the Billiard company, were merely the
vehicles in a transaction that had
absolutely nothing to do with inter
state commerce, and that the shares ol
Boston & Maine, that came into his
possession through his investment
were legitimately sold by him to the
Boston Railroad Holding company
the concern through which the legisla-
ture permitted the New Haven TO own
the Boston G. Maine.

REYNOLDS LAYS
CLAIM TO TITLE

Reynolds. N. D., Nov. 23.-A few
days ago the city of Bottineau, N. D.,
came forward with the claim Of being
the, richest city in the United States,
based on total deposits of 1856, ,27261
and total population OF 1,400 which
gives them per capita wealth of
$73559.
The city of Reynolds wishes to put
forward a claim for this distinction,
based on the total deposits of the two
banks at the time of their last finan-
cial statements. which was November
10.
The population of the cit yof Rey-
nolds at the time of the last census
which was taken by the assessor,
showed a total of 398. However the
North Dakota Blue Book showed at
the 1910 census total population of
412. upon which figures it based its
claim.
On November 10. the total deposits
in the banks Of the city were $685.
1876 which with population Of Az
gives Reynolds a per capita wealth of
9747.S1 an increase Of $12.22 over the
claim advanced by the city OF Bot
tineau.

ROOSEVELT AGAIN
NAMED IN TRIAL

New York. Nov. 23. - Theodore
Roosevelt, as president Of the United
States, again appeared as adviser of
Charles S. Mellen in New Haven af-
fairs-the acquisition of the Boston
Sc Maine railroad-in testimony ad-
ducedsat the trial Of the eleven former
directors Of the New Haven road un-
der the Sherman antitrust law.
Mellen represented the former presi-
dent as having in 1907 advised the
purchase of the Boston e Maine with
the reservation, however, that 'if you
do wrong you need not come back to
me-" The advice was given after
Mellen had had an interview. at
Roosevelt's suggestion, with Franklin
K. Lane, chairman of the Interstate
Commerce commission, and explained
to him that there was danger Of the
Boston e. Maine falling into the
hands of aliens" IL the New Haven did
not take it. BY aliens" the witness
said, he meant the Canadian Pacific
or the Grand Trunk railroad of Cana
da, and that Chairman Lane agreed
with him that such an eventuality
was dangerous from a military point
OF view.
The testimony was brought out after
r. L. Bats, attorney for the govern
ment, had read into the record an ex-
change of correspondence, subsequent
to the interview. between Mellen and
II. M. Whitney of Boston.
Il have always thought it possible
that the little father at Washington
might want to get his finger in the
pie" wrote Whitney in reference to
the Boston & Maine deal. I'm which
case. il it should happen before the
public had become reconciled to the
change, 1t might result in infinite
harm to all your interests.
THE Washington situation" Mellen
wrote in reply, II have, think, COM
pletely cared for. One never knows
for certain about those matters. but
the ground has been carefully plough
ed and every chance Of trouble con-
sidered and / think eliminated"

ELEVATOR
BURNED
E.r NE ~ HNk

Colgate, N. D.. Nov. 23.-The Farm
ers' elevator burned here this morning,
in fire the origin Of which is un-
known. In addition to the building,
10000 bushels Of grain was also
destroyed, all having been fully cover
ed by insurance.
The fire was first discovered at about
7 o'clock and had then gained such
headway that 1t was impossible with
the means at hand to save the build
ing and a call was sent in for the fire
departments of Page and Hope, both
of which responded and assisted
materially in preventing the fire from
spreading to other buildings. For a
time there was danger of the entire
town being DESTROYED. the elevator
having been situated on the railroad
right of-way on the main street Of the
town. .a.
1t is understood from Manager e. F.
Curtis of the elevator that the build
ing will not be rebuilt owing to the
fact that there are three other eleva-
tors here. IL the farmers organization
opens up another elevator one of these
will be purchased.

NO WORK IN
CALIFORNIA

San Francisco, Nov. 23.-The unem-
ployed of the country were warned
to stay away from California by the
state commission of immigration and
housing in California.
IF you are looking for work or
charity you will not find the former
in California and you will find the lat
ter only through hard labor on the
roads or rock piles" was the text Of
the official statement.
California is determined to apply
the work test to protect itself from the
influx of unemployed and unemploy-
able.
Forty-four OF the largest cities in
the state have agreed not to pass
on" the destitute unemployed to other
communities, according to George r.
Bell, attorney and executive officer Of
the commission.
These cities also have agreed that
they will not furnish food or lodging
to, the unemployed except for return
in labor on the roads or rock pile.

Of the Monroe doctrine was advocated
in a speech here last night by Joseph
w. Folk. chief counsel Of the inter-
state commerce commission. Such a
step, he said. would set a precedent
for the formation Of a European
federation and pave the way for ulti-
mate world peace and disarmament.
Mr. Folk declared there should be ade-
quate preparedness in the United
States, not only to repel foreign in
vasion. but. to deal with domestic
enemies who subvert the functions OF
government to their private greed.

THE EDITOR SOLILOQUIZES

When a dearly loved suscrib-
er writes to us in irate vein;
"Stop the paper. Never send the
vile sheet to my home again."
We just puff our sweet old corn
cob, and we stroke the Office cat;
editors don't have no feelings"
r-mind-We're used to
that.
When a typographical error
sometimes creeps in by mistake
and our friends rush up and tell
us what frst-rate ass we'd
make, we just overlook their err
rors, never giving tit for tat;
editors are pachydermic, and
Oh well; we're used to that.
When our advertisers cancel,
telling us the sheets no good;
when subscribers choose to pay
us in tomatoes or cord wood,
we'll, we simply grin and bear it
though it leaves us rather fiat;
Editors can exist somehow
somehow we get used to that.
When your daughters grad
uation or her wedding day
comes round, you expect the
kind of write-ups that in adjec-
tives abound, do you every stop
to thank us, though It's done
with great "eclat," that's what
editors are here for, and-Oh
well! We're used to that.-Oli-
