Marshall Aims at Trusts. INDIAPAPOLIS. Ind.. Jan. li. Governor Thomas .Marshall today sent the first message of a Democratic Governor to a Democratic Legislature that Indiana has known in eighteen years. m lie warned the Legislature to beware of special interests.- He recommended legislation against trusts, enactment of a corrupt prac tice act, and warned the legislators against lobbyists. Foss Asks Initiative. BOSTON. Mass., Jan. 5. The an nual message of Governor Foss, as sailing bossism by corporations and advocating the initiative and refer endum, was sent to the Legislature today. He urged that the use of pri vate, vehicles to convey voters to the polls be prohibited. Senator Lodge's chances of re election is daily becoming smaller. Driven hy the onslaughts of Gover nor r'OBs to defend his course In pub lic for the first time during his ten ure of the office, he is immediately met by another fierce attack from the same source and it appears that a fusion of Democrats and Insurgent Republicans may accomplish his overthrow.

During ills term the state faced one of the most stringent periods, financially, In its history, when state funds were in the hands of failing banks and the crisis of 1907 .was causing distress In the financial world. Under his administration, for the first time, a policy was Inaugurated or requiring securities from banks to guarantee repayment or state funds dpeosited In those banks, and this system has held good through his entire term of office, securities now In the hands of the state being prac tically equal to the balances In banks as shown above. "It Is a relief to me to leave the ofli-e." stated the out-going treasurer today, "much more of a pleasure than it was to get In. I have been through some trying times, but I am gratified, more than I can express, at the condition of the office as 1 am now leaving It." .T A large delegition of citizens and taxpayers of this city and county ap peared before the County Court this afternoon and presented petitions asking the court to build a bridge across the North Umpn.ua River at the site of the new retry between Edenbower and Garden Valley. The petitions were signed by nearly every resident of Gnrden Valley. Coles Val ley and the Lower Cnlanoola district, as well "s by all the hanks nnd most of the business men of thhXlity. It is estimated that a first class wooden bridge can be built lit the place named for about $8000 to $10,000. while a steel bridge can be erected for about twice' ns much. With such :a unanimous movement in Its favor, and the comparatively small outlay ! involved, it seems very probable that the court will grant the request of the petitioners. Petitions for a bridge over the main Umpqua at Kclloggs will also be presented to the court by residents of that section of the county. The estimated cost of that bridge Is $35,000.

Ut-VKAH-OLD BOY SHOT WHILE HANDLING RIFLK. Accident Occurs Near IloseburK, When His Two Companions Throw Cartridge In Breech. Clyda Wallace, 13-year-old son of A. S. Wallace, living one and one-half miles west ot Roseburg, lies in Mercy Hospital with a bullet wound through his right breast, the result of an acci dent while handling a 22-callbor rifle at his home at 6 o'clock Wednesday evening. Chances of his recovery are about even. The Injured boy, his older brother. Ora, and a third lad named Kenneth Loop were attempting to load the rifle, which Is of old pattern and does not operate easily. With the stock of the weapon resting on the floor and his bands holding the bur rel, Clyde was in a stooping position directly over the muzzle as the other two boys were Inserting a cartridge in the breech. This done, the lever of the weapon was thrown into place with such force as to bring down the hammer and discharge the cart ridge. The bullet struck Clyde squarely on the right nipple, then struck the breast bone and ploughed straight through to a place of lodgment under the shoulder blade. He was carried to the home of his uncle, J. A, Wal lace, In west Roseburg, and from there he was taken to the hoBpltai. where Doctors Seeley and Stewart re moved the bullet and dressed the wound.. The surgeons do not think the wound will prove serious unless blood poison sets in. A small quan tity of clothing was carried into the wound by the bullet. The boy Is re ported to be resting easily today. This is the second accident of this nature to occur In the vicinity of Rosebtirg within less than a month. The victim of the first one was Homer Kndlcott, the 8-year-old son of JoBeph Endlcott, or North Roseburg. He nas shot through the stomach with a 22-calibre pistol on December 9, 1910, and died three days afterwards. It A UK GERM CAUSED MRS. FULKEHSO.VS DEATH. Scientific Explanation of Demise of Three Relatives of Former Roseburg Man. The death of the mother and two other relatives of A. P. (Jerry) Fulk crsou, a former stenographer of Rose burg, at North Yakima last Novem ber, is explained by the following dispatch from that city: NORTH YAKIMA. Wash., .Inn. 4. The puzzle of the death of three North Yakima people .drs. Frank Ketthn, Mrs. Carrie Fulkerson and L. D. S. Patton following a Thanks giving dinner at which canned aspar agus was served, has been solved by an analysis of the contents of the jar at Northwestern University by Dr. Robert Zelt. Dr. Paul Cooper, one of the attending physicians during the illness of Mrs. Keuhn, took a sample of the asparagus with him on a trip East from which he has just returned. The cause of death, according to Dr. Zeit, was a germ known as bacillus botullnl, which grows in sealed vessels and only in substances unexposed to the air. This form of bacterial poisoning Is very rare In this country, although a num ber of cases have been reported In Germany. There is but one known cure, an anti-toxin, very expensive. which is not manufactured in this country. The anti-toxin has never been tried on human beings, but has I worked successfully with animals. The poison is thought to cohie from ! particles of fertilizer Introduced into the asparagus. . 1 Dustlne sweeps up the dirt and keeps the dust out of the air. Dust carries germs.

SEATTLE. Wash., Jan. o. mum Clerk Harry Clark, who waB shot In the mouth last night by two bandits, who held un the North Coast Limited shortly after she pulled out of Seattle. Is resting comfortably at the hospital today and It Is believed he will live. He lost practically hair or bib teetn when the bullet ploughed through his face. Thirty detectives are scour ing the lodging houseB for a trace of the robbers. The chief of the rail road detective force of the Northern Pacific left St. Paul for Seattle today to take charge ot the investigation. As soon as the first robber got In the mall car door he leveled his gun ut Clark and ordered him to throw up his hands, and then fired before Clark could obey the command. As soon as Clark fell the two rob bers turned their attention to the other clerk, C' E. Reld, and covered him. Both Clark and Reld were then locked up In the clothes closet in the end of the car and were not discov ered until the train reached Auburn. After Imprisoning the two clerks, the bandits gathered together 20 packages of registered mall and dropped oft as the train slowed tip for the town of Kent. Mexican Relnds Face Hicjre. EL PASO. Jan. 6. Three hundred federal cavalry and Infantry left Juarez, Mexico, today for Pearson to execute a flank movement on the in surgents In northern Chihuahua.

As the result ot a most brutal fight at their home In Clackamas Heights be tween two aged brothers, Hiram Deebe, 77, is dead and Nelson Deebe, SO, Is tonight accupylng a cell in the jail here charged with the murder. The fight to the death occurred two miles east of here, late this after noon, where the brothers have been keeping bachelor quarters. So far as known tonight there were no witnesses to the tragedy and the details of the crime can only be gath ered from the disconnected stories told by Nelson Deebe, who, when ar rested by Sheriff Maas, was In an intoxicated condition, and was suffer ing from a deep gash in the heud and Beveral bruised places over the entire body. From information gleaned follow ing the Investigation of the county officials tonight it is said that Nelson, who this morning received his war pension ot $20 per month rrom the Government, spent the greater part or the day In an Oregon City saloon and about five o'clock started tor home. He had but placed his hand, he says, on the knob ot the trout door, when he was met by hiR brother Hiram, with pie In hand. Then the battle began, and aow long It raged no one knows. From one ot Nelson's stories Hiram slashed him with the axe and in selt derense he la said to have used a big club.

An Made and Valuable sin tist'oi Given to Public. SALEM, Or., Jan. 4. During the year jtist closed 90 more miles ot railroad were placed In operation In Oregon than were In operation a year ago. The annual report ot the Rail road Commission given out today, shows the-e were on December 15, 1910. a total of 2491.09 miles or railroad In operation in this state, an Increase of 90.13 miles over the mile age in operation on the same date a year ago. inis new mileage came out cf the Oregon Short Line, Pacific Ruilway & Navigation Company and the Sumpter Valley road, and does not Include any mileage on the Des chutes River Railroad, Oregon Trunk or Natron brunch of the Southern Pacific Company in Oregon, which have not yet been placed in opera tion. The report of the . Railroad Commission, which has to do with common carriers solely, doeB not in clude a report ot the amount ot con struction work done In Oregon for the past year. Miuiy Complaints Made. There is nothing in the report on which to base estimates of the am ount of mileage that will be placed ill operation In Oregon during 1911. which will be inrge. Twenty com mercial steam railroads, o. i switch ing road and one terminal company and seven logging roads contributed to the mileage operated In Oregon in 1910. Tho report shows that on De cember 19, 1909, 20 informal and 12 formal matters before the Commis sion were brought on by complaint?. During the year since that date, 103 Informal and 51 formal matters were docketed for hearing. Of the informal complaints 95 were made by Individuals and 10 were brought by the Connnls.-don on its own motion. Numerous matters were then taken on application ot carriers for permission to make special rates or refunds when injustice had been done to shippers. Sixty complaints were made respecting Inadequacy or unreasonableness ot service; two vio lations ot railroad laws were Investi gated. 133 complaints were adjusted informally, six were transferred to the docket, 12 were not followed up, two were beyond Jurisdiction of the Commission and 10 related to inter state regulations. Physical Valuations lllg Tusk. Of 63 formal complaints. 23 wore for unreasonable or Inadequate ser vice and 17 related to rates, 19 were valuation Investigations and are still pending. There are now pending 20 formal complaints. 35 were closed during the yeur and 4 8 hearings have been held. In nearly all the actions before state courts the rullroad com mission has been singularly well backed up nnd the Railroad Commis sion act sustained time after time, both hy Circuit Judges und Supreme justices. Some Important cases wore heard. Physical valuation investiga tions has been a big task and is not yet completed, but the report shows that much has been accomplished. Several Important recommendations are made by tho Commission toward strengthening of weak points In the Railroad Commission act and extend ing powers of the Commission. "It should be clear," reads tho re port, "that It is the Intent of the Commission act that the Railroad Commission may act upon schedules of rutcB ub a whole. A recent opinion of the Supreme Court haB emphasized the necessity of clear expression of legislative Intent to delegate such powers. Needed Clearer I mlerstaliuing. "Provision should be made that orders of the Commission made atter a hearing shnll be binding on a cor noratlon and persona which after ward acquiro property aneciea, ana tor substitution of a successor In complaints pending against a grant or or lessor of a company. The re- ent consolidation of a large number of railroads In Oregon, constituent companies of which had been parties to orders duly entered by the com mission, and severnl of which were tiartles to complaints pending, lino emphasized the necessity for legisla tion along this litre. Also as the result ot the consolida tion under the Oregon and Washing ton Railroad & Navigation Compnny or the Oregon Railway & Navigation Company and Its holdings, the Com mission believes the attention ot the Legislative Assembly should be di rected to the question ot the advisa bility ot providing control of Issu ance of stocks and bonds in the Inter ests of the pubMc and Investors. It is also recommended that the Legis lature enact a law prohibiting con struction of grado crossings, which have been so dangerous to life und property. .

According to reports received by the United States Geological Survey iroin coal-mine oMrators and others fumlllar with the Industry, the pro duction of coal In the United States during 1910 was between 470,000. 000 and 483,000,000 short tons, a considerable Increase from the output of 459,( 16.704 short tons In 1909, nnd approximately within 1 per cent or the maximum previous record of 480,363.424 tons, produced In 1907. Of the total production in 1910 the anthracite mines ot Pennsylvania contributed nearly 83.000,000 short tons and the bituminous mines be tween 390,000,000 and 400,000,000 tons. Washington Is the only one of the Pacific Coast states in which coal mining Is an industry ot any Import ance. The total production ot Cull fornfa, Alasku and Oregon In 1910 did not amount to more than 100, 0U0 short tons. According to the statistics and es timates received, the output of blister und Lake copper was 1,079.000,000 pounds, as against J, 092. 951, 624 pounds In 1909. Arizona again takes the lead among the cupper producing status with an output slightly above the production of 1909, which was 291, 110.298 pounds. The copper production of Montana will probably not exceed 285,000,000 pounds for 1910, ns compared with 314,858,291 pounds for 1909. The state will therefore rank second to Arizona as a copper producer. Michigan, ranking third as a cop per pruuuclng state, made an output or rennea copper or about 220,000, 000 pounds in 1909, as compared with 227.005,923 pounds for 1909. How the Trouble Starts.
