ages to the amount of $450,746.05 were
awarded the New Liverpool Salt com-
pany today by Judge Olin Wellborn
In the United BUtes district court
against the California Development
company, owing io the destruction of
property caused uy an overflow of
the Colorado river, which resulted, It
was alleged, from the construction of
canal Intakes by the development
company.
it Is the largest verdict for damages
ever returned In tho Jurisdiction of
the district court. The company sued
for a total of about $525,000, but the
court disallowed a part of the claim.
Included In the property pf the salt
company were buildings valued at $43,-
062.73, a railroad, and three aud
UircoquartenS sections of sail de-
posit.
In July, 1B05, all tho water of the
Colorado had been .diverted into the
basin Then there began a hard light
to save the property and control the
water. The sale company moved its
locomotives to a point of safety, and
at the end of six months the water
was again turned hack Into its natural
channel.
Two months later the waters of the
toridii stream again broke forth from
th" artificial banks and completely
Inundated the works, which are still
under more than 60 feet of water.
The California Development com-
pany Is a subsidiary company of the
Houtuern Pacific Railroad company.

Railway company uni allied corpora-
tions were appointed tonight by Judge
Tutlilll In Die Cook county circuit
court on a petition filed by Charles
J Monahan, a stockholder,
Monahan charges fraud In the man-
agement of the properties whereby A.
C. Frost.,-, president of Ul" company,
is alleged lo lone gained control. Car-
ter II Harrison, former mayor; ('has.
t) Dawes, former iomplroller of the
oiirreney. and Hordon Ramsay, vice
president of the railroad company,
were named as receivers
The road, which Is 75 miles long. Is
owned and operated by the Chicago
Ai Milwaukee Railroad company and
the .Chicago Ai Milwaukee Electric
company, Illinois corporations, and
two Wisconsin corporations hearing
the same names. The receivers were
appointed for the Illinois corporations,
bill it Is alleged that these own the
Wisconsin companies and that the
sHine receivers will therefore have
control over all the property. The
subsidiary companies Included under
the receiverships are the Kenosha,
WIs., street Hallway company, a box
factory and a branch railroad at Wau-
kegan, III,
Nearly $3(1,000,000 Is involved in the
proceedings. Monahan is the owner
of 25 shares of stock. The receivers
were appointed and a restraining order
Issued without notice (o Frost. News
of the action was withheld until Frost
was served personally during the
evening Control of the properties
was secured by Frost, It Is alleged,
through the employment of "dummy"
directors and by other unlawful mens
tires.
In n statement given out tonight
hv Frost he stales that none of the
transactions all* ged in the hill have
ever before been, subjected to criticism
so far as he has any knowledge.
The transactions complained of.
he declares, "are not only legitimate
in themselves, hut they are such that
the complainant lias no grounds for
questioning them. So far us the hill
attacks my conduct of ttie affairs of
this enterprise, the charges are un-
founded. In my opinion the filing of
the hill was brought about by one
who was in the employ of the com-
pany and whose resignation was called
for upon whin 1 conceive to lie nde
yuale grounds.”

OUR OBLIGATIONS.
Now aud then we need such an ex-
ample as that which has been fur-
nished by the so-called panic—from
which the country Is happily emerg-
ing—of the duty which the individual
owes to the whole in our community.
It serves to teach that none of us lives
for himself alone, but (hut Ills wel-
fare is bound up in that of all his
neighbors and even in that of Ills far-
distant fellow-citizens.
In his address before the National
Grange at Hartford last week. Presi-
dent. Charles B. Mellon of the New
Haven road set forth this condition
in very explicit language- It is not a
rich man's panic, ' he said. It Is a
condition extending to the farthest
section of the country and levying its
tax In such a way ihut every man,
woman and child must bear his pro-
portion of the burden.
"I must, have money," he said,
speaking for his railroad, "more mon-
ey than it can earn from day to day.

where has it been more rampant than
in the t’nited States. The reaction
was inevitable, and though it might
not have taken the form of a bank
panic had we been better prepared
with such a banking and currency
system as we should have, the time
had come when some or all must pay
for our over Indulgence.
"It is the duty of the banks," says
the comptroller.” to restore business
to normal conditions by resuming their
functions as promptly and as fully
as possible. Fortunately there is not
only the strongest desire and disposi-
tion on the part of the banks to do
this, but conditions are such as to
make it comparatively easy and lead
us to expect a much more prompt re-
covery than has followed other similar
financial crises. The reports to the
comptroller show that the reserves in
the central reserve cities were but
22.2 per cent against the legal re-
quirement of 25 per cent.
“The forty reserve cities show 24.72
per cent of legal reserve or almost
the full legal minimum, while their
total cash moans are 26.55 per cent
of their deposits.

prepare to do a business before it is
upon us. If I cannot get money in
New York, I have to stop work; 1
have to discharge men; 1 have to
cease buying materials; the men of
whom 1 have been buying, no longer
getting orders, have to in turn dis-
charge their men and cease buying—
and so ii goes on until every one in
the country has had to curtail and
shrink his proportion. You who pro-
duce will find people poor and unable
to buy as formerly, and have to shrink
your prices In turn, reducing your in-
come by so much. People having less
to spend, stay at home; travel slacks
up, and I have to Like oft trains arid
discharge more men."
So it is that from the top to the bot-
tom of the Industrial schedule one is,
dependent upon the other. We cannot
say that it is only the rich men, the
speculators, who are affected by a
panic or depression shaking the stock
market. The balance of credit con-
cerns not only those who must have
money for Industrial purposes, but
those who live by their individual In-
dustry in production, if the former
lack the material for activity, the lat-
ter lose their opportunity for profitable
employment.
in our system, indeed, the principle
"Of the forty cities 21 show legal of reciprocity Is inherent. We can-
reserves above 25 per cent, while not. and wo do not, concede everything
ten of them show .over 30 per cent Ho capital, it must serve the common
of legal reserves and all but eight of {interest; and all the course of our re-

total cash means. Tile largest re- forcetw lit of this Idea Neither is la-
serves arc in the Texas cities, Halves-j Uor supreme; it must recognize the

Danville. Pa—"Judge, 1 want you
to make an order that no man shall
be permitted to sell or give liquor to
me," said young Walter Rupp, jus’
sentenced here to 60 days lu jail for
assaulting an officer.
“That is what ruined me, and 1
want to start life anew without the
ruin,” concluded the prisoner.
"The clerk of the court will enter
an order to that effect," said the
judge, "and 1 commend the defendant
for his determination to reform."

Many a guilt-edged investment Is all

Great expectations breed great dis-

A woman is a paradox. It Is when
she’s fair that she takes a fellow by

There is such a thing as overdoing
a matter. Many a candidate is too

The people who come early to avoid

"In the subdivision by states, the
Pacific states show the largest cash
means. 32,11 per cent. The most, im-
portant significance of these figures
is that the readjustment of bank re-
serves has taken place with so few
bank failures.
“From October 20 to December 30,
1907, there have been but 16 suspen-
sions or failures of national banks. Of
these two have resumed, and several
more should do so in the very near
future.
"The report of conditions of the
national banks show that from August
22 to December 3, individual deposits
decreased but $142,000,000, or about
3 1-4 per cent, while the decrease in
cash on hand was hut $40,000,000 and
the Increase in bills payable and re-
discounts was about $42,000,000.
"We have had a very severe bank
panic, it would have been worse but
for the aid given by the treasury de-
partment and some of the leading
financial men of the country,
"It will probably never lie known
how much credit is due to a few men
who furnish vast sums of money and
supplied credit from their enormous
resources in the patriotic effort to
stop the panic and relieve situations
which might have led to far greater
disasters if they had not lieen so
promptly met and so skillfully hand-
led.
"From these facts in regard to the
hanking situation it would seem hut
a fair conclusion I hat the acute bank
trouble is past, but values of all kinds
will have to be re-arrangpd We shall
have more failures and probably some
more hank failures but these will tie
individual cases, the result of par-
ticular conditions. We have been go-
ing too fast In business and all classes
of people have been living loo exlravl-
gantly. It will be good for all of us
to check this."

Such a case is that of the present
so-called panic. It is not a panic irt
the ordinary sense of that word, nor
should It become such. Amelioration,
relaxation, already are in sight. And
the end will be reached the sooner if
one acts upon the principle that the
individual owes a duty to all other in-
dividuals—corporate or person—in Hie
