With the Incorporation of the Fed eral Biscuit Company at Wilmington. Del., today, there cornea Into exist ence a 130.000,000 merger of from TS to 100 of the largest bakeries hitherto Independent, of the National Biscuit Company, the cracker "trust. The coalition means the monopolizing of the cracker Industry of the whole country, for the new company Is on the friendliest terms with the National Biscuit Company. The probability Is strong; that, were It not for the Sher man anti-trust art, the two would be openly one. In the new trust are com panles from all over the New England. Middle and Western states. California, Oregon. Utah and the Dakotas. Those In the State of California are as follows: Standard Biscuit Company, American Biscuit Company. Eagle Bis cuit Company. Eclipse Biscuit Company, Mutual Biscuit Company, all of San Francisco: IBshop A Co., or Los Ange les, and Sacramento Biscuit Company, Sacramento. The company has Issued 118. 000. 000 in T per cent preferred stock, and 112.000. 000 common stock. Only 13.000.000 of the preferred and I1.0O0.000 common will be offered on the market at the present time. The employes, except salaried of ficials, will be permitted to buy II. ooo.00 of the stock on easy payments. The company contemplates closing many plants, using them merely as storerooms, establishing In their place two of the largest biscuit bakeries In the world in the vicinity of New York City. One of the avowed purposes of the new trust Is to make America a greater biscult-eatlng nation by all manner of advertising. The per capita consumption of bis cuits In the I'ntted States Is only 4 cents worth, while each Canadian eats up t.T0 worth annually, and in England the consumption amounta to $4 per bead.

Decomposed Body Gives no Explana tion of Death Empty Money Bag Is Found Xear Hat. With the discovery yesterday afternoon of the decomposed body of Warren Joy, an aged hermit, within a few yards of his cabin in the woods near Thirty -ninth and Holgate streets, the authorities are con fronted with a baffling mystery. Whether or not the octogenarian was murdered and robbed of his wealth or succumbed to a sudden attack of a disease is the enigma which may never be solved. From the present condition of the body now at the morgue It is utterly Impossible to dlex-ern any marks of violence or hold any autopsy over the remains. Joy lived for the past 1ft years In the cabin near where; his body was found. He Is said to have accumulated consider able wealth from the products of a small orchard during that time. During his years aa a recluse, he seldom left -the premise, and was considered eccentric by those who chanced to have business deal ings with him. From several of those, who knew him casually, it was said last night that the hermit lost considerable money through the failure of a local bank several years ago. Since that time he ha. maintained a keen bitterness toward savings Institutions and Is said to have secreted hie) money about his cabin and orchard. This fact combined with the discovery of an empty buckskin money bag turned Inside out, near the cabin door and footprints on the ground In the immediate vicinity lends color to the theory that the old man was mur dered and then robbed. From the personal effects found In the cabin of the hermit It I. apparent that he was SS years of age and In September, 1W0. left his home in Portland. Me. Among his belongings) were found dis charge papers Indicating that he served aa a private In Company D or the First Regiment of the Oregon Mounted olun teers and served under Captain Hiram Wilbur during the Indian Wars). Letters found brought to light the fact that "he had two brothers. Asa T. Joy. of Plymouth. Mich., and Samuel Joy. of Pennsylvania street. Sallna, Kan. Both brothers have been notified. IS CUT IN TWO BOYS STEAL CRAFT AXD NAR ROWLY ESCAPE DEATH. William Sccborg Jumps Into River and Saves Youngsters He Had Run Down. Another river tra-edy was narrowly averted when the gasoline launch "Far- ragut" cut a canoe In two and hurlea John King and Clarence Green, two ten-rear-old lads Into the river Just north f the center span of the Madi son street bridge shortly after dusk last niaht. Only through the valiant efforts of William. Seeberg. the pilot of the launch, were the lads saved from watery graves. Both of the youngsters, who reiusea to divulge the addresses of their pa rents because they feared they "would get a lickin." were playing along the docks near the east end of the Madison bridge early in the evening. Coming across a canoe moored to a float they climbed Into and paddled toward the middle of the river. The Farragut, plying between the Morrison street dock and the Oaks, was speeding down stream. " Seeberg made every effort to pass the canoeists, but. In the falling darkness, the inexperi enced navigators paddled directly Into the course of the speeding launch. In an Instant the sharp prow of the larger craft split the canoe In twain. The occupants were dashed Into the water by the force of the Impact. See berg reversed his' engine and In a mo ment was himself In the water holding fast to a line that dangled over the prow of his boat. He saved the lads from drowning and hauled them aboard in an exhausted condition. The boys after alighting at the dock gave their names and scurried away.

PLANK HITTING AT PQINDEXTER URGED Recommendation of Western Washington Man for Sen ate Is Plan. REPUBLICANS WILL MEET Advance Guard Already at Tacoma for Convention Lumbermen Bit ter .Against Spokane Candi date Democrats Talk. TACOMA. Wash., Aug. 2. (Special.) A resolution recommending to the voters the selection, of a Western Washington man for United States Senator will be square ly presented to the platform committee of the Republican state convention when It meets to frame the party principles In this city, Wednesday. This resolution will be presented for consideration to the committee on plat form and resolutions by a committee ap pointed at a recent gathering of Western Washington lumbermen held In Tacoma. Tlie plank proposed by the lumbermen is aimed directly at the candidacy of Mile. Poindexter of Spokane, who Is the only Eastern Washington man seeking Republican Indorsement for United States Senator. Poindexter gained the opposi tion of the lumbermen of the state by his attitude against the tariff on lumber when under consideralon In Congress. Blow Aimed at Poindexter. Aside from this resolution, the sup porter, of the other Senatorial candidates are proposing the adoption by the con vention of a plank similar to one found In the platforms adopted by several coun ty conventions In the state. Including Adams. Clark. Okanogan, Wahkiakum and Yakima. Thla plank Indorses the work In Congress of those members of the- Washington delegation who sup ported the Taft Administration and la also aimed at Poindexter. Delegates to the convention have be gun to drift Into Tacoma but as yet, only the advance guard Is here. Representa tive W. W. MeCredle arrived tonight and announced his intention of beginning a campaign tour of the Southwest soon after the convention. On the Supreme Court ticket, the prin cipal development of the day was the indorsement by the King County delega tion in Seattle of the candidacy for re election of Judge George K. Morris. Some opposition had been mown in the past In the Seattle bar against Judge Morris and an effort had been made to bring out Judge Harry Balllnger, of that city. The latter, while a former saw partner of Secretary of the Interior Balllnger, Is related only very distantly. Judge Bal llnger has never consented to become a candidate. It is said the King County lit? votes will all be thrown to the five Justices who are now on the bench. Democrats Hold Banquet. While the delegates were arriving by train and boat this ' evening. 12S promi nent Democrat of Western Washington were holding a "get together" banquet in the Masonic Temple and condemning the record of the Republican National and state administrations. As forecasted, the advisability of Democrats calling for Republican tickets in the primaries and voting for Miles Poindexter, the insurgent candidate, was discussed and sentiment seemed to be divided. During the early part of the evening s programme of toasts, the speeches were of the stand-together, vlctory-is-ln-slght. vote-the-whole-ticket variety, several old warhorses" like George Haxard, Judge Thomas Carroll and others telling of vot ing the Democratic ticket for 40 years or more and of being constitutionally op posed to voting for a Republican under any circumstances. This trend of the talk was wholly up set when the toastmastcr, Robert E. Evans, called on A. R. Tltlow, a leading member of the Tacoma bar for some fireworks," for Titlow set off several skyrockets and ptnwheels. Titlow Causes Stir. 'Let me tell you that this talk by either Republicans or Democrats of al ways voting the straight ticket is what haa led to the corruption In both parties, he declared. "While I am one of those who put the character of the man above the party to which he belongs. I am with you if .you are in earnest about naming a full ticket and select good strong men. 'But let me tell you I have heard men who are in this hall say that they were going to call for Poindexter ballots in the primaries and I have heard others say that they would vote for Ashton. Confound you fellows who would cast your votes for sn Eastern Washington man who would not do your community one dollar's worth of good in Congress. If you are going to vote for a Republican in the primaries, and mind I am advis Ing you to do it, for God's sake vote for one of your own neighbors." Mr. Tltlow's remarks were received with some cheering but the sentiment of the meeting was not unanimous. X for one. am not going to call for i Republican ballot," declared W. S. Hunt' lngton, of Snmner, who followed, "but If I did I would vote for a man who repre sented my principles rather than for one who represented my locality. 'Any Democrat who goes Into the Re publican primaries s getting into mighty bad company and mighty bad habits. declared Toaatmaster Evans. Democrats See Hone. Throughout all th. talk tonight there was a general effort to gain Democratic comfort from the Insureent uprising. A revolution in sentiment in the Re publican party Is now indicated by in surgency .and the day is not far distant when Democracy will come Into Its own own," said John Leo. The Republicans, when their eyes in full opened, will not turn to Insurgency but to Democracy. I predict that a Dem ocrat will be chosen President of the United States at the next election." said George P. Wright, chairman of the Dem ocratic state central committee. "There is very little difference, but in name, be tween Insurgency and Democracy. The eruption in the Republican party prom ises to-be greater than that of 1SS6, ' said Frank Spinning. Colonel George FIshburn: "I am one Democrat who never had to hide my head under the Republican party as an insur gent." Langliorne Causes Enthusiasm. What proved the most enthusiastic moment In the gathering was when M. A. Langhorne. well known throughout the Southwest aa a Democratic orator and lawyer, announced that he would file his declaration of candidacy for Congress on August 4. Langhorne con demned the Republican Legislature for removing the selection of Supreme Judges from the operations of the pri mary law and charged that the party henchmen were gathering to trade off Judiciary positions to gain votes for Senatorial candidates. He announced an antl-Plnchotlsm. tarif f-for-revenue- only platform. Langhorne's announcement " brought out criticisms of Judge MeCredle as a "Portland Representative." Langhorne's candidacy promises to have an indirect influential bearing on the Republican primaries in the votes for Representative in the Southwest Washington district. Judge MeCredle Is opposed In his own party by C. E. Claypool, of Olympia. and Stanton War burton, of Tacoma. The latter is a pro nounced insurgent and there has been talk of his receiving Democratic sup port in the primaries. Langhorne de clares that he will stump the Southwest advocating support of a full Democratic ticket with favors toward no particu lar candidate to the sacrifice of others. Langhorne's name before the Demo crats Is likely to deflect votes from , Warburton. Southwest Democrats for I six years have been endeavoring to in- duce Langhorne to run for Congress and naturally will not want hia oppo nent to be one so nearly of their faith 1 as is Warburton. j KAISER MORE FRIENDLY: PLAYS LONG GAME FOR FRANCO-GERMAN FRIENDSHIP. Inner Meaning of Negotiations With Foreign Minister Plchon Watched With Interest. PARIS, Aug. (Special.) Though some German papers have thrown cold water on the suggested friendly under standing between France and Germany, there are those here who view the sit uation with other eyes. They declare emphatically that there is nothing so very Utopian about Franco-German ac cord, and they consider the death of King Edward was an event calculated to hasten It. But such a Franco-German' understanding will not be con summated yet awhile. King Edward's personality had an immense attraction for the French an attraction King George has not ana is not likely to achieve. Frenchmen look on the new British monarch as al most a stranger and entirely too re served to compare with his very nu man father. Meanwhile the Kaiser is busy. He undoubtedly made himself very pleasant to Foreign Minister Plchon at Buckingham Palace, and there Is little doubt there were subse quent conversations between the two that have not been recorded. That is the view, anyway, of men here. They are seeking to pierce the veil and dls cover what Is going on la the Inner circles. . To commence with, there is an easier feeling In regard to questions like the settlement of foreign indemnities in Morocco, mining rights in that uneasy country and also matters affecting cus toms procedure on the Franco-German frontier. That Is not a bad start, for business agreements are calculated to stimulate general cordiality. But the agreement is not likely to go mucji farther for a long time to come. King Edward's influence destroyed the old French hostility to England almost entirely, and if British good will con tinues firm the entente cordlaie will take a lot of shaking. With Germany It Is different. While compliments are being exchanged between Paris and Berlin, and the strain Is eased appreci ably on differences between the coun tries, the mass of the French people dislike the Germans intensely. To win the nation over will take years of German diplomacy and sus tained public friendliness on the part of the Kaiser's government. The time has not yet come when the Kaiser will be allowed to enter France. Yet there are plenty of reasons for the Kaiser's desire for amity. There are 50.000 Germans In Paris and 200,000 in the whole of France: whereas , not more than 3000 Frenchmen live In Ger many. German statesmen see that with France a friendly neighbor they could Invade the most fruitful provinces with their commerce, take their place on the Paris Bourse, borrow French gold as the Russians do, and benefit in many directions hardly yet visible. NEW AVIATOR BOASTFUL SAYS NOTHING SHORT OF HTR RICANE CAN STOP HIM. Townspeople Marvel at Sights In Sky Before They Hear About Grant's Early Flights. NORFOLK, Va.. July . Claiming. to have solved the secret of aerial nav igation in a heavler-than-air aero plane, R. R.- Grant, of this city, la ready to prove that he can remain up in the air under all kinds -ot weather conditions, barring a hurricane. Grant is the assistant city electrician of Norfolk, and for many months has been experimenting with his machine early In the morning, when neariy everybody In the city was asleep. There have been various reports made relative to peculiar lights seen over head at such hours, but many persons attributed them to Imagination. A few weeks ago Henry Hyslop, a newspaper' route owner, reported that he saw a light and heard a peculiar noise In the air a few miles outside the city limits about J o'clock in the morning. His report was so plausible that an Investigation was made, and it was discovered that Grant, assisted by J. T. Morse, a mechanical expert, had been experimenting with their Anachlne and had made some wonder ful flights. Mr. Grant declared today that he be lieved he and his co-worker had suc ceeded in solving aerial navigation In a 'different way from other naviga tors. They claim that their machine will remain in the air under all kinds of weather conditions, barring, of course, an unusually severe storm. "We propose to test o.ur machine on the beach between Cape Henry and Virginia Beach next Saturday," he de clared. "Wrf are not divulging our secret at present. Our machine Just now is in many parts, but we can get them together properly in short order. We would have shipped the aeroplane to the beach today but for the severe storm that struck that section. "We believe we can fly with our ma chine Just as good. If not a little bit better, than some others are flying. Our machine is constructed different from others you have read of or pos sibly seen. It is purely an invention of our own. We have worked it out after two years of hard work. We have tried It and found that we could fly. We are confident that the ma chine will prove a success, but there are certain parts that' must be pro tected by patents, and we want to keep them secret Just a little while longer." Grant, It Is understood, may attempt to fly from Cape Henry to Cape Charles and. return on Saturday, a dis tance of 15 miles each way.

FINE MADE TO FIT PILE THRIFT TEMPERS JUSTICE IN PATERSON, ". J. Male Driver Discovers That Mere Possession of BlacLsnake Is Infraction of Law. PATTERSON, N. J.. July 4. Harry Hammond, managing director of a dump cart, had an experience in Pater son yesterday which convinced him that although some brands of Jersey justice may be blind there are other varieties so eagle eyed that they can see a J2 bill at a distance almost as great as that which separates a battleship and the target at which the 12-inch guns are pointed. Hammond, whose proud boast it Is that never in his whole life has he done, said or thought anything of which he should be ashamed, was arrested in Paterson yesterday. "I may look like the fellow you're looking for," said he to the policeman, "but you've made a mistake. Excuse me, but I must be going." "I want you," said the policeman, "because It says here In the good old laws of New Jersey that any teamster who has a blacksnake whip in his pos session breaks the statutes." "There's no use trjing to deny the blacksnake whip which I hold in my hand," answered truthful Harry, "and If you only knew the true character of this mule I'm driving you'd go and buy me a couple of more whips. With this mule moral suasion is" wasted time." The defense availed him naught, as they say in the story books, and he was arrested and arraigned before a Justice of the Peace. ' "You are fined $15," said the Justice. "If I had $15," said Hammond, cast ing a furtive look out of the courtroom window to see that Cuthbert, his mule, had not in a tempermental moment kicked the facade out of a .business block, "If I had $15 I'd buy me an other mule.". "Well." said the Jurist, "how much have you got?" Hammond meditated. Then he said: "When I drove into tows. Monday I had ten dollars " - "That will do very nicely," said the Justice. "I 'haven't got the ten any more," confessed the teamster. "I've been In town ever since Monday, and money in Paterson doesn't last any time at all. I knew a fellow who spent " "That will do for the reminiscences," admonished the Justice "How much can you stand?" "Ive got a little two-dollar bill here," said Hammond, still with an eye on the emotional smile. "If that will do any good the law Is welcome to It." "You are fined two dollars." said the Justice grimly, and Hammond dug up his last asset. Having again resumed his place be hind Cuthbert after surrendering the blacksnake whip to an agent for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, who has a collection of such things, Hammond drove sorrow fully down the street, permitting him self to wonder what the amount of the fine would have been had he changed the $2 bill In time into quar ters and dimes.
