WATER LAW RECOMMENDED
(Continued From First Page.)
the contract heretofore adopted in some
Important particulars, chief of whlcn is
that the ditches and works will go to the
settlers when their liens are paid, and that
no land shall be sold to settlers until it Is
reclaimed and patent applied for. and rules
Adopted by the company and approved by
the board for distribution of water.
The Attorney-General and State Engineer
have prepared a form of contract embodying
these changes, which the Attorney-General
thinks the board can legally adopt under
the present law. but in order that there may
be no doubt about it we would suggest
. thnt the law be amended to provide for these
and all other necessary changes. The
change providing that the canals and works
shall become tho property of the settlers
when the Hens have all been paid, would
make our state law conform to the United
states reclamation law In that respect,
which in the opinion of the board Is very
desirable, and while It will doubtless increase
t.ie cost of reclamation, that will have to be
allowed the construction companies, it will
. In the end result In a great reduction of
the maintenance charge after the settlers
have secured possession of the Irrigation
works, and enable them to manage the sys
tem to suit themselves.
Inspection Has Ilccn Lax.
That the United States authorities
have been lax in their inspection of ap
plications and their Investigation of
the conditions surrounding the pro
jects that have been started, is as
serted in the State Land Board's re
port, though this difficulty has been
remedied. The Board assumed that
tho Government "would give this mat
ter the same careful scrutiny that It is
noted for giving to other things."
This report makes public for tho first
time a conclusion at which the Board
arrived nfler consultation with ,F. H.
Newell, Chief Engineer of the United
States Reclamation Service, to the ef
fect that reclaimed land can be sold
only to "actual settlers." This decision
will be of vital importance to many
persons who have applications for re
claimed lands and have made partial
payments thereon. On this subject the
report says:
The construction companies that have sold
lands In their segregations aem to have
failed to advise numerous purchasers that
they would have to b actual settlers on the
land before they can obtain deed from the
state. The board took up the matter of set
tlement with Hon. F. H. Newell, chief engi
neer of the United States Jterlamatlon Serv
ice, when ho was here recently, returning
from the Irrigation Congress at Boise. Idaho,
and came to tne conclusion, after consulting
with him, that only actual settlers on the
land reclaimed are entitled to deeds, and
that while under the ITnited States reclama
tion act, persons living in the neighbor
hood of the land fivhlch the Secretary of the
Interior has decided to be 20 miles, on the
Klamath project), are entitled to purchase
land and ottaln water, the "l.'arey act"
contains no such provision, so that all per
sons desiring any of these lands must be
actual settlers on the land before they can
obtain deeds. The board has accordingly
prepared and publishes herein a blank form
of "Application to Purchase Desert Lands."
which contains blank space for proof of set
tlement to be made and sworn to by appli
cant and to be corroborated by two wit
nesses iiavtng knowledge of the facts, under
oath.
At the request of the Board, State
Engineer J. II. Lewis and Assistant
Attorney-General I. H. Van AVInltle are
preparing a bill for a new law accept
ing the terms of the Carey Act.
TRUST IN LICORICE PASTE
Direct Evidence Contained In Letter
Produced in Court.
V NEW TORK, Dec. 20. Counsel for the
Government Introduced documentary evi
dence today to show an agreement in re
straint of trade In the trial of the Me
Andrews & Forbes Company. J. S. Young
& Co., of Baltimore; Karl Jungbluth. and
Howard E. Young, charged with conspir
ing to control the licorice paste industry.
A letter alleged to have been written by
President Jungbluth, of the McAndrews
& Forbes Company, to David Forbes,
agent In Constantinople, was read. In
which the writer said that the J. S. Young
Company would continue the operation of
Its plant In Baltimore under an arrange
ment giving the McAndrews & Forbes
Company control of the business, but that
the Young company would preserve every
outward appearance of being a compet
itor. The defense objected vigorously to the
admission of the evidence, but the court
overruled the objections.
E. F. Hale, formerly secretary of the
McAndrews & Forbes Company, testilied
that the company controlled Co per cent
of the licorice paste business, and that
the J. S. Young Company was its com
petitor. This .company. Mr. Hale says,
made an agreement with the Weaver &
Sterry Company, of New York, to control
the trade. The Young company was to
supply the Independent plug tobacco
manufacturers nnd the McAndrews &
Forbes the trusts. The hearing was ad
journed until tomorrow.
ATTACKS GREAT ICE THUST
Mayer Says It Reduced Supply and
Raised Price.
ALBANY, N. Y., Dec. 20. Attorney
General Julius Mayer today began an ac
tion against the American Ico Company
In the Supreme Court of New York Coun
ty for the dissolution of the so-called "Ice
Trust." The complaint alleges as a prin
cipal feature of the "scheme and arrange
ment," by which the company secured a
practical monopoly of the natural and
artificial Ice output and distribution, espe
cially in Greater New York, that It se
cured control of the approaches into the
Maine Ice fields and caused a reduction
there last year of the usual harvest from
1.500,000 tons to one-third of that amount.
Other' sources of supply are alleged to be
similarly curtailed. It is said that by the
time the Ice reaches the poorer cus
tomers it costs at the rate of from $10 to
14 a ton.
Correspondence of the company . is quot
ed to show that at the very time when
the company was pleading a shortage of
supply independent producers in Maine
were offering ample supplies, and the
company was at' that time refusing to ac
cept these offers on any terms.
The court is asked to declare that the
alleged agreements and arrangements be
tween the American Ice Company and
other corporations and dealers are null
and void and against public policy and to
prevent continuance of the acts and
transactions complained of.
Standard Oil Hearing Suspended.
. NEW YORK. Dec. 20. The hearings In

the Standard Oil Company, the Waters
Pierce Oil Company and Republic Oil
Company, which began here Tuesday
ended suddenly today. The hearing was
opened here at the request of the defend
ant companies to allow them to introduce
testimony in rebuttal. The nest hearing
probably will be held in 9L Louis.

4S00 acres of oil land were being held

law.

Henry McCrory.
PITTSBURG, Pa.. Dec. 20. Henry Mc
Crory. for years identified with the prac
tical end of the steel industry, a brother-in-law
of President W. E. Corey, of the
United States Steel Corporation, and also
one of the "junior partners" of Andrew
Carnegie, died at his home in Wilklns
burg last night. Mr., McCrory was one of
the most prominent technical steel men
in this vicinity. He was master roller of
the Homestead mills at the time of the
strike in 1S92. Following the strike, Mc
Grory became connected with the first
mill in the country to make armor-plate.
He there was associated with Mr. Corey
and Charles M. Schwab. He also made
several important inventions. Mr. Mc
Crory married Miss Emma Cook, a sister
of Laura Wood Corey, who recently se
cured a divorce from Mr. Corey.
Japan Withdraws Chief Demand.
ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 20. The Russo-Japanese
commercial treaty is near
Ing completion. Japan has abandoned
her demand for international navigation
of the Amur River, and asks that the
treaty of Algun be revoked only in so
far as it concerns the navigation of the
Sungarl River, which is entirely within
Chinese territory in Manchuria, and is
without access to the sea through the
Amur.
Could Not Sleep for Coughing.
"A customer called me up one cold
night last winter, wanting a bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for hig
mother, who had such a cough that she
could not sleep." says E. Mlxon, of
Stalllngs, Ala. "The next day he told me
that one dose of it relieved her and that
she rested well for the remainder of the
night." This remedy la fox sale by all
druggists.
GIVES BILL QUIETUS
British Premier Drops Mangled
Education Scheme.
MEANS ATTACK ON CHURCH
Cabinet May Join Radicals In Plan
for Purely Secular Education.
Revives Movement to Dises
tablish English Church.
LONDON. Dec. 20. The education bill
was buried by Premier Campbell-Banner-man
In the House of Commons this after
noon. After a speech of considerable
emphasis, defending the course of the
lower house In rejecting the House of
Lords' amendments as a whole and re
pudiating the claim of the people that
they have the right to lecture the Com
mons on the subject, the Premier an
swered that the government had decided
to withdraw the measure.
There will be no dissolution of Parlia
ment as a result of the action of the
House of Lords. Although the rejection
of this, the main Liberal measure
of the session, is the most seri
ous rebuff Sir Henry Campboll-Banner-man's
Cabinet has yet suffered, it Is not
regarded as being sufficiently grave to
necessitate an appeal to the country.
Whether at the present moment the gov
ernment could successfully appeal to the
nation on the education bill is a question
on which even many Liberals are in great
doubt.
The only immediate effect of the step
taken by the upper house therefore will be
to give an enormous impetus to the radical
agitation in favor of curbing the veto pow
ers of the Peers and to furnish the Non
conformists with a new gun and ammuni
tion in their fight for the disestablishment
of the Church of England. There Is today
a widespread impression that a purely
secular education bill will be introduced
during the next session of Parliament,
while no doubt the Cabinet during recess
will consider what means are possible to
prevent the Lords from nullifying pro
longed labors of the Commons, and to de
bar their veto of measures passed twice
by the lower house.
It Is the general view of the politicians
that the Peers by last night's action have
entered upon a constitutional struggle em.
bracing more than the education bill.
VESUVIUS' CRATER FALLS IX
Causes Rain of Ashes OTer Xaples
and Makes Women Pray.
NAPLES, Dec. 20. Another portion of
the crater of Mount Vesuvius fell today
and caused an eruption of sand. It was
not preceded Or accompanied, however, by
either detonations or earth shocks. This
afternoon for 20 minutes a rather heavy
rain of ashes fell over Naples and an
other portion of the creater on the side
toward Pompeii fell.
The rain of ashes created considerable
alarm in the more populous quarters of
the city. Women began praying to the
Madonna and the saints not to visit them
with another punishment at Christmas
time such as came shortly before Easter,
the time of the last great eruption. As
the rain of ashes did not last long, calm
was soon restored.
BRYGE'S COMING ASSURED
BRITISH POLITICIANS ARE XOW
PICKING HIS SUCCESSOR.
Blrrell the Probable Man, as Irish
Like Him Churchill Dare Not
Risk His Seat.
LONDON. Dec. 20. In well-informed
parliamentary circles Augustine Blrrell,
president of the Board of Education, is
now regarded as first favorite for the
post of Chief Secretary for Ireland, which
will become vacant when James Bryee is
transferred to the British Embassy at
Washington. In this event. Dr. N. C. Mc
Namara probably will be the new Minis
ter of Education.
It appears that the contemplated ap
pointment of Winston Spencer Churchill
to the Irish Secretaryship la having but
a lukewarm reception from the Nation
alists, who desire a man with a longer
parliamentary record. Furthermore, there
is some doubt about the safety of Mr.
Churchill's seat In the house from Man
chester, where he has a formidable op
ponent in A. J. Balfour. It is believed
the Nationalists will warmly welcome Mr.
Blrrell. It was noticed during yester
day's debate that the compliments of
John Redmond to Blrrell were effusive.
The Morning Post, Which has advocated
the appointment of a Canadian as British
Ambassador at Washington, today edito
rially comments upon and congratulates
the selection of Mr. Bryce, and says it
thinks this choice will be regarded on
both sides of the Atlantic as a proof of
friendly feeling. The paper considers also
that Mr. Bryce fully appreciates the posi
tions of Canada and Newfoundland.

It frequently occurs that no stock
holder of a corporation holds control, but
a number, acting together in harmony,
may pool their holdings, and thus be able
to constitute a working majority. This
is best carried into effect by creating
A JVoting Trust
taking out a certificate for a majority
of the' stock in the name of a reliable
trust company as trustee. The trustee
Issues the owners certiiicates of their
beneficial Interest, and holds and votes
the stock as a unit at all elections, fol
lowing Instructions given it by the bene
ficiaries. Thus harmony and continuity
of management and control are secured
against raids on the stock or treachery
of any associate.
A voting trust of this description may
be useful in any corporation where the
stock is divided, whatever the size of the
company.
This is but one of the many ways a
modern trust company may serve its pa
trons. In the twentieth century, a trust
company is both a business convenience
and necessity.

Professor Koch availed himself of the
