Two bloodhounds, Moonlight and

Captain Llewellyn believes that

, Washington.—The supremo court of
the United States has laid down the
for reaching principle that “corners"
but interstate commodities, each as
articles of clothing and food, are in
Violation of the Sherman anti-trust
law, and held that as far as the Sher-
man law was concerned the indict-
ments in the New York federal court
of James Patten^ Eugene G. Scales,
pzank H. Hayne and William P.
Brown for “conspiring to run an al-
leged cotton corner" are valid. The
case against t hem was Bent back for
trial or other proceedings.
Justice Van Devanter announced the
opinion of the court. Justice Lurton
delivered a dissenting opinion, in
Which Chief Justice White and Jus-
tice Holmes concurred. The majority
of the court held that the circuit
court of New Tork bed decided that
the indictments charged a “withhold-
ing of the eotton from the market,
a necessary element of a corner as
admitted by the government. The mi-
nority held that the circuit court had
found'the indictment did not so charge
and for that reason the indictment was
faulty.
According to all the justices, the
correctness of the holding of the cir-
oalt court as to the indictment oharg-
iag a “withholding" and as to the suf-
ficiency of the indictment on other
technical points, has to be accepted
at this time without question by the
supreme court. The points thus left
undecided may be made the basis for
bringing the case to the court again,
if the defendants are convicted.
Solicitor General Bullitt, who pre-
sented the government’s side of the
case, issued a statement after the de-
cision, in which he said at least a
way had been found to stop the tun-
ning up of prices by men who sought

For Lighter Coins in Australia.
The Australian commonwealth au-
thorities propose soon to go into the
question of providing smaller and
lighter coins, probably of .nickel, as
substitutes for the earistlng copper pen-
nies and half pennies. The prime min-
ister (Mr. Fisher) believes the copper
is now in use far from convenient
either in weight or size. Australian
v public opinion seems generally to be
in favor of the use of nickel. „ This
metal is hard and light. Is not liable
to oxydization, and is not In any way
poisonous. The great objection to it
appears to be its similarity to silver.

preciable effect upon the price of

City of Mexico.—Anticipating early
developments in the relations between
the United States aad Mexico, the
keenest interest was Bhqwn by Mex-
icans in the return here of the Am-
erican ambassador, Henry Lane Wil-
son. The ambassador waa beseiged
by reporters at Vera Cruz on his ar-
rival at the capital, but was uncom-
municative.
Borne of the more sensational news*
papers print strong criticisms of the
administration, . charging incompe-
tency. One paper published an extra:
“Only the resignation of the president
can save us,” the article setting forth
that this demand is contained in a
note which Ambassador Wilson will
soon deliver.
The ministers continue to assert
that the relations between the United
States and Mexico are friendly, but
the uneasiness of the public is re-
spected by the senate which, at a se-
cret session, interpellated the sub-
secretary of relations for a statement

three labor leaders convicted of con-
spiracy to transport dynamite are to

writ of supersedeas by the United
States circuit court of appeals in this
city!'"*’
Whether this amount can be obtain-
ed was admitted by counsel for the
defendants to be a matters of doubt,
but they expressed the belief that at
least some of it could be procured—
enough to accomplish the liberty of
President Frank M. Ryan and a few
others until decision has been reached
on zui appeal, for the filing of which
the )cdurt allowed sixty days.
The decision involves only thirty-
two of the thirty-three men now in
the Leavenworth penitentiary, aa Her-
bert S. Hockin, designated among his
fellow prisoners as the “informer,” will
not appeal.
Judges Baker and Seaman heard the
arguments and the decision was given
orally by Judge Baker. He took oc-
casion to intimate that undue haste
was manifested at Indianapolis in com-
mitting the defendants to prison.
The write was issued largely on the
point raised by the defense that the
iron workers were convicted of a •con-
tinuing offense, a conspiracy to com-
mit offenses continually.
The basis for bond is placed at $10,-
000 for each year of the imprisonment,
so that Grank M. Ryan, who was sen-
tenced for seven years, must give $70,-
000 bond, if he should gain his release.
Whitelaw Reids ’Body Arrives.
New York.—Great Britain has de-
livered to hi* countrymen* the body of.
Whitelaw Retd, editor, statesman and
American Ambassador, who died in
London recently. The British cruiser
Natal brought the body home and Fri-
day night it lay under the Stars and
8trlpes in the Cathedral of St. John the
Divine. President Taft, dignitaries
from the army and navy and repre-
sentatives of foreign powers attended
the funeral Saturday. As the Natal
moved up the North river at the end
of her mission, the American flag
floated half mast above her. The only
decoration on the artillery caisson
which bore the ambassador’s body to
the cathedral was a floral anchor pre-
sented by the Natal’s officers.
Fatal Explosion on French Warship.
Toulon, France.—Eight men were
killed by an explosion in the stoke-
hold of the French battleship Magsena.
The Massena, accompanied by two
cruisers, was proceeding for Bizerta.
She was passing the Hyers Islands
when the steam collector pipe of one
of the boilers burst. The engine room
staff rushed to the stokehold where
they found a petty officer and seven
men dead. .The ship landed the bodies

Washington.—Senator Bailey resign-
ed Friday afternoon from the United
States senate. He tendered his resig-
nation to Senator Galliger of New
Hampshire, the president pro tern of
the senate, in the following communca-
tion:
^Senate, Washington, D. C.—Hon. J
H. Galliger, president of the United
State senate, pro tempore, Dear Sir:
I hereby tender m? residnation ef as
a senator from Texas.
J. W. BAILEY.”
This is a literal reading of the note
of resignation, the word “of” in the
phrase “resignation of as a senator
being an error which Senator Bailey
failed to correot. Mr. Bailey’s resigna
tion bears no date.
Immediately following this aotion
Senator Bailey telegraphed to Gov. Col-
quitt notice that he had resigned. Sen-
ator Bailey’s telegram to Gov- Col-
quitt is quoted from memory as fol-
lows:
“I have this day tendered my
resignation as a United State senator
to the president pro tem of the United
States Benate and notify you by tele-
graph in order that you might appoint
my successor at the earliest possible
moment.’’
Senator Galliger could shed no light
on the manner of Senator Bailey’s res-
ignation. He said that when he reach-
ed his committee room he found Sen
ator Bailey’s letter awaiting him. He
had been informed by one of his clerks
that the communication had been hand
ed in about 2 o’clock. He received It
about 4 o’clock.
It Is reported here that Gov. Col-
quitt has already forwarded to Wash-
ington the commission, naming R. M
Johnston of Houston as Senator Bai-
ley’s successor. This commission is
expected here Monday forenoon, which
would be in time to enable Mr. John-
ston to be sworn in Monday noon. Mr.
Johnston, accompanied \>X Messrs. H.
B. Moore of Texas City and Charles
M, Rein of Houston, are here.
Senator Bailey’s resignation came
immediately after a conference held
between the senator and Mr. Johnston
and some of Mr. Johnston’s friends
What took place at that conference
has not been disclosed.

SENATOR JEFF DAVIS 18 DEAD.
Attaek of Apoplexy Closes Career' of
Arkansas Man.
Eight Men Battle 8lx Hours With Gale.
Twenty-two Lost.
Little Rock, Ark.—United States
Senator Jeff Davis died suddenly at
his home here Thursday morning as
the result of an attack of apoplexy.
About midnight Senator Davis called
his son and said that he wae feeling
badly. The son called a physician and
remained at his father's bedside. As
the physician entered the door the Sen-
ator fell back and expired.
Besides being a picturesque charac-
ter in Washington during his one term
in the senate, which began in 1907,
Senator Davis had the distinction of
being the only man elected to the gov*
ershlp of Arkansas three times. Pre-
vious to his seven years’ incumbency
as governor of his state, Mr. Davis
had been prosecuting attorney of the
Fifth Arkansas Judicial District and
in 1898 was elected attorney general
of the state.
, Mr. Davis was born in Little River
county, Arkansas, in 1862, and received
his education at Russellville, Ark., and
at Vanderbilt University, graduating
from, the latter institution in 1884.
He was admitted to the bar the same
year and soon after began to practice.

and 150,000 feet or lumber at Wash-

gregated $50,000, with between $30,-

Newport News, Va.—Eight survivors
of the steamer Julia Luekenlbach, ram-
med and sunk in Chespeake Bay Fri-
day by the British tramp Indrakuala,
on arrival here told how tWenty-tw© of
their number had gone down without
a chance for life. The fortunate eight
after a six-hour battle with a terrific
gale, were taken from the rigging of
their sunken ship by the Danish
steamer Pennsylvania and brought
here.
The Luckenbach, from Port Tampa
to Baltimore, was about to anchor off
he Tangier gas buoy, at the mouth
of the Potomac, when the Indrakuala
caughbdier and cut h^r practically in
two. She went down immediately
and only the men on deck had a chance
*or life. The Indrakuala, badly dam-
aged and in danger of sinking, drew
off and beached to save herself. Capt
Gilbert of the Luckenbach and his
wife were among the lo^
The survivors had scarcely reached
the topmost part of the rigging of the
submerged hulk when a sweeping gale
passed over the bay, and for six hours
they fought for life, while some of
their number, exhausted, dropped off
one by one to death.
The vessel was formerly the Dutch
steamer Zaandam, and was built in
Rotterdam in 1882. She was of 3,100
tons gross burden and 310 feet in
length.
The Indrakuala, a newly built steel
steamer of 5,723 tons burden and 430
feet in length, was bound from Balti-
more to New York, en route from Yo-
kohama.

Albanian of Leyland Lins Runs
Beach Near Fort 8an Jacinto.
Galveston, Texas.—Sunday about T
o’clock, the British steamship Aibaa*
Ian of the Leyland lino, from Liver-
pool to Texas City for cargo of jet-
ton ran her nose far into a sand bank
south of the south jetty and just
southeast of Fort San Jacinto.
All efforts to reach the vessel prov-
ed futile and the pilot boat Texas aad
the three tugs that went to her as-
sistance put into port about midnight
to await the light of day. Life savers,
pilots and marine men generally wto
went to lend whatever assistance they
could, gave the universal opinion that
the Albanian was in no immediate
danger and could ride for months la
her present position with no danger
ef loss of life or breaking up. Shs-
stood head on to the beach, upright
in a soft sand bar. The south wind
that was blowing, did not strike ter
broadside and the swells had little ef-
fect on her.
The life-saving crew launched the
new surf boat and made their way to
the vessel. The sea was running so
high that (hey oucld not reach the
ship, but they drew close enough to
determine what she was and that she
was in no immediate danger.
JOHNSON 18 NAMED FOR 8ENATE*
Houston Editor Appointed to Sucooed
J; W. Bailey for Unexpired Term.
Austin, - Texas.—R. M. Johnston of
Houston was appointed United Staton
senator Saturday when Gov. Colquitt
received a telegram from J. W. Bailey
announcing that he had placed his res-
ignation In the hands of the presiding,
officer of the United States senate.
Immediately following the receipt
of the telegram the governor trans-
mitted s copy of it to Secretary of
State John L. Wortham and advised
him of Col. Johnston’s appointment,
also asking that •Senator Johnston be-
given a certificate of appointment.

urrected and precedent* followed in

ment and credentials generally:

despite the cold weather. The dam-
age to the building and contents to-
estimated at $46,000, with $35,000 in-
surance. Nearly all .the records were

some court house will be erected te
replace the one destroyed, which was
built in 1885 at a cost ot $44,000.
