GOT DRUNK IN BLIND PIG.
Hearing In the Case of Emil King Alb
solves Saunders Saloon.

I'm our report of the murder al
Iron River during the recent tourna-
ment. we intimated that the liquor
which King and his two companions
got drunk on was secured at Saun-
ders where a saloon is maintained
across the river in Florence county.
This statement was made upon i'm
formation gotten from one OF the dep
uty sheriffs who claimed to have been
present. at the coroner's inquest. 1t
was similar to the story reported In
the 1rcn River -Stambaugh Reporter Of
the same week where the testimony
OF Attorney McDonough given at the
inquest was detailed.
King was given a hearing at Iron
River last week. and. from the attor-
ney's interested In the case, we learn
that the men got drunk in a blind
pig in Ircn River; that King and the
deceased man were both in this blind
pig at the same time and that they
got to aghting there and the proprie-
tor put them out.
Afterwards they went to another
blind pig and got drunken King did
say that he had been at Saunders, but
he also said that the only drink they
beer which, for three men, and taking
into consideration the alcohol in the
beer, had nothing to do with their
getting drunk.
The facts are that King got drunk
in Iron River. that he got no liquor
at Saunders; that his trip TO Saunders
had rothing TO do with the crime for
watch he stands accused.

How many OF our people know how
Hematite township has developed in
agriculture?
Hematite was set off from Crystal
Falls township In 1891 because OF the
mineral that existed there. A mine,
the old Hemlock property. had been
disc vered on the banks OF the Hem
lock river and IL was sold to the Hem
lock River Mining Company, an or
ganization in which Pickands, Mather
4 Co. the wealthy Cleveland iron
men had an interest. These people
had been interested in the Walpole at
Iron Mountain and that property prov
ing disappointment. they were in
duced to take over the new Hemlock
mine which the Gleasons of Gladstone
and the Gibsons of Republic had dis
covered. Mr. J. T. Gibson was at
Amasa then, and remains there until
this day. the pioneer of the place.
What Is now Amasa. was then only
an opening In the woods on the bank
OF the Hemlock river Heavy woods
surrounded IL on all sides and log
ging operations were still carried on
on the Hemlock river. 1t was reach
ed by tote road from Crystal Falls
over a tortuous trail that lead thru
the heavy hardwood forest over hill
and through swamp, distance of 16
miles. II was good days work to
ride over the trail.
In 1899 a railroad was built from
Crystal Falls TO the new mining set
Element, branch OF the North West
ern. and in 1891 the name "Amasa"
was chosen for the postofiice.
In the meantime the township OF
Hematite was set off from Crystal
Falls township. II comprised four
towns, As and 46 each in ranges 33 and
%. But those four towns had no
population, so In order TO get some
people the north part OF town 44-33
including sections l to 12 inclusive
were taken In and Il was I'm that part
of the township that the people re-
sided and IL Is there that most OF the
people OF Hematite township reside

The Markets
The General List

Save for the activity and strength of
shares of the international Mercantile
Marine Company, in which both the
common and preferred issues advanced
more than points, the stock market
saturday had more quiet tone than
1T has shown in the past two weeks.
Prices were firm, with increasing
strength and activity shown in the
railroad group. Such strength doubt
less reflects in a measure the meeting
OF Congress on Monday, and the ex-
pectation, fostered by rumors of the
contents Of the Presidents message to
be read Tuesday. that that body would
take pthe solution of the railroad
problem almost Immediately. The first
step is expected to be the appropria-
ton of s75O,0O0,0OO or $1,000, 900 900

Monopoly in Italian
Exchange Abandoned
Announcement Follows Sharp
Break in This Market in
Rates on Rome

The Italian National Institute OF
Exchange announced yesterday that it
had discontinued the monopoly of the
foreign exchange trade between italy
and the United States. In the future
the institute will merely supervise
the dealings in Italian exchange in a
general way in the interest of the
Italian government.
Abandonment of the institutes
monopoly in Italian exchange followed
another sharp break in rates on Rome
IN this market. The closing rate was
8.22 lire to the dollar for checks and
e'2o for cables. Before the peg" was
removed from the lire market several
weeks ago lire were quoted around 6.35
TO the dollar.
The Italian Institute Of EXCHANGE
was organized about a year ago to
control dealings in Italian exchange
with view to protecting the market
against the operations of spectators.

Lack of available freight room is

Elusive Shorts

In the past week or two rich holders
seem to have found way out of their
recent dilemma. Stocks were going
up; the holders were piling up great
profits; the profits were tempting;
they might not endure But the rich
holders dared not sell, for if they did,
the government stood ready to take
half or three quarters of the profits in
income tax, assuming that this years
schedule IS as great as that of 1918.
The rich holders have now taken to
selling an equivalent amount of stock
short. In this way the prior profit
Is made secure. The transaction is
not closed, and therefore the govern
ment can claim nothing. If the stock
advances further, the short seller loses
on his short sale but keeps himself
even on his long holdings; if the stock
declines, he makes up on his short sale
what he loses on his long stock. By
being in the market twice he is out

Short Line Assn to Meet
Will Urge Congress to Take
Favorable Action

The American Short Line Railroad
Association has issued a call for a
meeting of the members at the New
Willard Hotel, Washington, on June g.,
and 5, for the purpose Of considering
legislation necessary to increase and
protect transportation facilities. The
meeting will be divided into six ses-
sions. Among the speakers will be
Walker D. Hines, Director General of
Railroads, and Senators Cummins and
Underwood. The call for the meeting
said:
The conditions surrounding the
railroads generally, and especially the
short lines, are not only serious but ap-
palling, and Congress must act, and
act wisely, to prevent Wholesale bank
ruptcy. While operating the main line
railroads, the government has imposed
many hardships upon, and in many in
stances has done great injustices to,
the short lines, and it is now serious
question whether it is possible for the
railroad adm nstration to do adequate
justice to such lines.
'The only real hope Is to look to
Congress; hence it is vitality important
that all short lines participate in the
convention. The legislation to be en-
acted must be based upon broad, true
and equitable principles. 1t must be
fair to the public as we'll as to the rail
roads, and to the railroads as we'll as
to the public. 1t must be such as to
enable the main line railroads to be-
como prosperous, otherwise the short
lines cannot be, and 1t must safeguard
the rights of the latter class so that
they may not be unjustly treated by
any interest or community in the
future"
About $50 Of the presidents of the
main line companies have been. in
vted to attend tho meeting as the
guests of the Short Line Association.

Equipments Weak

The equipment shares showed no
strength as a group yesterday, after
the publication in the morning papers
of the news of a 100000 equipment
fund for the purchase of cars and loco
motives. Several of the issues, in
deed. showed decided weakness. The
conclusion drawn from this was that
the unusual strength shown in the
equipment shares in the early part Of
the week had been brought about by
persons with prior knowledge of the
arrangement, and that after it's public
announcement they sold because "the
news was out"
