THE SUNDAY OREQONIAN, JORTLAND", DECEMBER 29, 190T.
UNDER ANTI-TRUST LAW
SUITS BEGUN AGAINST OHIO RAIL
ROAD COMPANIES.
Ex-Attorney-General aionnett at the
Head of the 3Iovement Three
Causes of Action.
COLUMBUS, O., Dec- 2S. Suite- In quo
warranto were brought today in the Cir
cuit Courts of Crawford and Logan Coun
1 ties, to revoke the charters of the Colum
bia, Hocking Valley & Toledo Railway
Company, the Ohio Central Railway Com
pany, the Kanawha & Michigan Railway
Company, the Buckeye Coal & Railway
Company and the Sunday Creek Coal
Company. The suits were brought In the
names of the prosecuting attorneys of
Crawford and Logan Counties. They were
prepared by Frank Monnett, ex-Attorney-General
and now attorney for the Anti
Trust League; David F. Pugh and E. B.
Finley. The charters of the dompany
are attacked on the ground that they are
controlled and operated as one In viola
tion of the state laws forbidding com
binations in restraint of trade, and the
consolidation of parallel lines of railroad.
The properties mentioned are all popular
ly supposed to be controlled by the Mor
gan syndicate.
For a first cause of action it is claimed
the corporations are operating in violation
of the statute of March 18. 18S2, forbidding
the aid of one corporation by another
through subscriptions to its capital slock,
and prohibiting the lease or purchase of a
railway by a parallel line. It is charged
that the Hocking Valley & Ohio Central
are virtually consolidated, and that their
stock interests are identical.
For a second cause of action the plain
tiff cites section 4427 of the Ohio anti
trust law, and charges that the defendant
companies are in combination, as shown
by their having given Joint mortgages. It
is also charged that they have conspired
together to limit the production of coal,
while increasing the price of shipments
and the cost to the consumer. It 1s
charged that the railroads named are in a
combination in violation of the law as to
freight and passenger rates covering all
forms of traffic - The companies are
charged with shutting off the supply of
coal to manufacturers and fixing a com
mon standard for all their operations.
For a third cause of action, evasion of
taxation and falsely-returned valuations
are charged. It is charged that the blanks
for filing the taxable property of the
Hocking Valley Railway, mailed to the
proper officers by the Auditor of the
state April 1, 1901, were returned with
schedules showing property susceptible to
taxation aggregating 54,696,000, whereas
the company's taxable property at the
time was In reality $45,658,605 77.
Mr. Monnett refused to say by whom
the suits were instigated. He denied a
rumor that Mayor Tom L. Johnson, of
Cleveland, was back of them, but said
that Johnson was interested in the prose
cution of the case.
GATHERING FOR CONFERENCE.
Governors and Attorneya-Genernl on
"Way to Helena.
ST. PAUL. Minn., Dec 2S. Governor
Van Sant and Attorney-General Douglass
leave at 10:35 tonight over the Northern
Pacific for Helena to attend the confer
ence of the Northwest States on the so
called merger of railroad Interests. A
telegram received by Governor Van Sant
today announced that Governor Herreld,
of South Dakota, with the Attorney-General
of that state, had started, and would
be present at the conference. This makes
complete representation from Minnesota,
North and South Dakota, Montana and
Idaho. Attorney-General Stratton, of
Washington, has signified his intention to
be present, and a telegram was sent by
Governor Vant Sant to the new Governor,
McBrlde, asking him if the funeral ar
rangements of the late Governor Rogers
and official business permitted him to at
tend also in person.
Governor Van Sant has no plans to an
nounce, feeling that the object of the
conference is rather to consider what may
be done than for any one person to map
out a method of procedure before con
sulting with the representatives of the
other states.
CAN'T AGREE ON SOLDIERS' RATES.
Southern Pacific to "Withdraw From
Present Agreement Tuesday.
CHICAGO. Dec 28. After a four days
meeting officials of "Western roads today
announced that it had been impossible
to agree to a settlement of the military
traffic question raised by the Southern
Pacific The latter road's notice that it
would withdraw from the other agreement
December 31 will therefore be carried into
effect, and railroad men fear a demorali
zation of rates all along the line in con
sequence. Railroad Stockholders Sue.
TOLEDO. O., Dec. 28. Suit was filed to.
day by Austin B. Fletcher, of New York,
on behalf of the creditors and stockhold
ers of the Ann Arbor Railroad, against
Wellington R. Burt, president of the road
asking judgment for $5,000,000. The peti
tion avers that Burt, as receiver for the
road, mismanaged the property, conceal
ing the amounts of money that he paid
for improvements, with the Intention of
depreciating the price of the property in
the market, In order that he and his as
sociates might buy in the same at a low
price. In consequence of his representa
tions, it is alleged Burt and his asso
ciates bought it in for $2,627,000. They
Immediately issued $7,000,000 of bonds
against it and $7,250,000 of stock. It is al
leged that the $14,250,000 is in fact some
thing like the true value of the property,
which was well known to Burt and his
associates.
Clark's Route Through Mountains.
SAN BERNARDINO, Cal.. Dec 28.
News reached here today that the ban
Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake road has
filed application for leave to build its line
across the forest reserve through Calon
Pass, a few miles above this place. The
application was recorded some days ago,
together with maps showing the proposed
route. From these maps it is seen that
the Clark survey crosses the line of the
Santa Fe several times between the mouth
of the pass and the summit, which, it is
said. Indicates that the two roads may re
build a line over the mountains north of
San Bernardino on a better grade than
the Santa Fe now has.
The Noble Macedonian Bandit.
Era.
The bandit Is the Macedonian hero. The
admiration of him Is Inbred. Greek in
dependence was won by bandits Inured
to fighting and marches, not by towns
men. The Greek national costume today
the resplendent uniform worn by the
King's crack regiments of "Euzones" is
that of the Albanian brigand. Macedonia
spasmodically hopes to be redeemed from
Islam as was Greece. In a country where
poverty is the sole safeguard against
plunder, the, brigand Is the only hero, and
he is the only dandy. He comes Into the
semi-weekly market where the women
chatter over their wares, or strides
through a railroad car, known by every
body, with his snow-white fustanella
standing out about him like a ballet danc
er's skirt, his heavily tasseled cap, his
embroidered tunic stiff with gleaming
metal, twirling his fierce mustachlos. The
romantic young envy him: their elders at
least recognize in him a familiar burden.
He is popular.
The world hears nothing of the brigands
unless they disturb Europeans. With na
tives their methods are drastic The fa
mous Nicko once took from Larissa two
children, of different families, whom he
held for ransom, at 300 and 400 Hras, re
spectively. The wealthier parents re
deemed their child. The other pair were
very poor. They sent -50 Hras with humble
apolojjles; Nicko returned the money. By
heroic efforts the - distracted people
scraped together 100 Hras; again Nicko
returned them, giving in a peremptory
message three days to furnish the entire
sum. When the three days had" passed
he sent back the child, cut into four
pieces. Kismet! It was fate! Nothing
was done.
CRACK ELEVENS IN TRAINING
Michigan and Stanford Prepare for
Neir Year's Game.
PASADENA, CaL7Dec 2S.-The Uni
versity of Michigan football team, which
arrived in this city on Thursday, has
been going through hard practice each
afternoon, and the "Wolverine players will
be in good shape to tackle Stanford on
New Year's day. The Michigan, team Is
considered by many football experts to be
the strongest in America this year, and
it is the general belief that the Ann Ar
bor giants are superior even to the fa
mous Harvard eleven that won over
Yale by such an overwhelming score
Michigan has played 10 games this sea
son, running up a score of 5ol points, while
their opponents never got even within
striking distance of the Wolverine goal
line.
The Michigan team has scored points
against its rival teams of this season -as
follows; The University of Buffalo 12S,
Beloit College 9, University of Indiana
33, Albion College 50, Case College 57,
Northwestern University 29, Carlisle In
dians 22, Ohio State University 21, Chi
cago University 22, Iowa University 50.
The team averages 176 pounds per man,
and the players arc representative stu
dents. Most of them are track athletes
and baseball players of marked ability,
while several are members of prominent
fraternities.
F. H. Yost, "Michigan's wonderful coach.
Is with the team. Yost coached the Stan
ford eleven last year, and is well known
In fact, in football circles throughout the
country.
The Stanford men have been in the city
for several days, and are hard at work,
under the direction of Captain Fisher and
a number of ex-Stanford players. Al
though Stanford has little chance of win
ning, experts predicts a close game, and
say that Stanford will make a better
showing against the famous Michigan
team than any other eleven has done this
season.
People are coming from all over the
Coast to witness the big game, which
will be the greatest athletic event that
Southern California has ever seen.

Racing will be continued at" Oakland for
some time.
A FIJI Girl's Trousseau.
Woman's Home Companion.
To the all-Important question of bridal
trousseau the Fiji belle of three decades
ago gave little thought. A fringe of
hibiscus fiber about the loins supplement
ed by garlands of brlght-hued flowers
about the head, neck and arms fulfilled
all the requirements of Polynesian fash
ion. Then came a day when this primi
tive simplicity was succeeded on festal
occasions by an oppressive weight of mag
nificence. Bride and bridegroom alike were
literally swathed from head to foot. The
material used was the "tapa," or native
cloth made from the inner bark of tho
paper mulberry tree. As in those days
certain colors and decorative designs were
reserved for the aristocracy, an educated
onlooker could by a single glance deter
mine the social status of the matrimonial
candidates. The tapa, besides being rolled
about the body In so many folds that the
victim was simply a walking bale of stuff,
was also so arranged that a huge pannier
was formed of the various loops and folds
at the back. To all this was added a
train, frequently eight or 10 yards long,
carried by attendants. To these two ex
tremes has succeeded the "sulu" costume
of today.
Meanings of "Words and Children.
Good Words.
One of my children was reading to me
in her English history how the Mayor
killed Wat Tyler. "I suppose it kicked
him," she remarked. "I explained that
the Mayor was a man. "Oh," 'she said, "I
thought a mare was an old gray horse"
My mother told me that the word "sun
dry," which she heard in church in the
exhortation, puzzled her much till she de
cided in her own mind it referred to the
hot, arid land of Palestine where the Bi
ble was written a sun dry place.
Captain Young Leaves Havana.
HAVANA, Dec 2S. Captain Lucien

General Seamens' Condition.
WASHINGTONbec 28. The condition
of General William H. Seamens, of Cali

ECONOMISTS IN SESSION
THEORIES ADVANCED AT THE
WASHINGTON MEETING.
Justification for Commercial and
Even Military "Warfare to Main-
tain Trade Supremacy.
WASHINGTON, Dec 2S. The American
Economic Association devoted Its morn
ing session today to a discussion of trade
and this afternoon's session to economic
theories. Brooks Adams, of Qulncy,
Mass., In Interpreting the recent expan
sion of the foreign trade of the United
States, entered a plea of justification for
commercial and even military warfare to
maintain the commercial supremacy of a
country. He reviewed the economic con
ditions of the United States and sur
veyed the rise and fall of governments
in the past.

ALEXANDER DOWIE WILL SETTLE CLAIMS OF BROTHER-IN-LAW.
CHICAGO, Dec 28. John Alexander Dowle has decided that he will settle
the claim of his brother-in-law, Samuel Stevenson, the English lacemaker. before
next Thursday, the time set by Judge Tuley for handing down a decision In the
case. Edwyn Logan Reeves. Stevenson's attorney, today received a letter from
Samuel W. Packard, Dowle's lawyer, to the effect that Dowle was ready to
make a reasonable settlement.
At the clo of the trial. Judge Tuley held a private conference with Steven
son and Dowle and their attorneys. In which be Is reported to have Intimated
that unless the case was settled out of court ho would appoint a receiver for the
Zlon Lace Industries. Stevenson alleged that Dowle defrauded him out of $150,000,
and his attorney declares that no amount less than that will be considered In
settlement.
brary, gave a succinct review of the com
mercial policy of Europe, In which he
contended that free trade will be the out
come of a threatened break-down of the
"superstructure of the general tariff con
dition" of Europe The greatest ques
tion facing Europe today, according to
his view, is food supply. AH European
countries, he said, arc desirous of being
self-supporting, which he pictured as an
impossibility. In the tariff policies of
Europe, he said, the most favored nation
clause has been practically eliminated.
Charles A. Tuttle, of Crawfordsvllle,
Ind., described the worklngmen's posi
tion in the light of economic progress and
contended that trades unionism and col
lective bargaining, profit-sharing and in
dustrial arbitration all signify that the
worklngman has a quasi property right
in the business in which he Is employed.
At the afternoon session,-a paper by
Thomas N. Carver, of Harvard Univer
sity, discussed, "Some Theoretical Possi
bilities of a Protective Tariff," and sought
to show that a tariff duty is not neces
sarily paid by the home consumer; also
that a protective tariff may be so framed
as to raise wages as well as to attract
labor and capital from the less productive
into the more productive Industries
judging 'from the standpoint of the com
munity rather than from thatof the in
dividual business man.
The third session of the day was held
this evening and two papers, "The Negro
In the Yazoo-Mlsslsslppi Delta," by Al

"Conciliation and Arbitration Among
Miners." by Herman Justin, Commission
er of Illinois Coal Operators' Association,
were listened to with much interest.
MANUFACTURES OF HAWAII
Census Bulletin on Industries of the
Island.
"WASHINGTON, Dec 24. The Census
Office has prepared a brief bulletin on the
manufactures of Hawaii, setting forth
many interesting facts with regard to the.
several Industries of the islands in the
year 1900. This is the first census of Ha
waii taken by the United States, hence
the figures given cannot well be compared
with those of the past. "The following ex
tracts, however, will give a fair idea of
the proportions of the Hawaiian manufac
turing industries as they were found last
year:
The reports show a capital of $11,541,655
invested in manufactures and mechanical
Industries, in the 395 establishments re
porting for the Territory of Hawaii. This
sum represents the value of land, build
ings, machinery, tools and Implements,
and the live'capltal utilized, but does not
include the capital stock of any of the
manufacturing corporations of the Terri
tory of Hawaii. The value of the products
Is returned at $24,992.0SS, to produce which
Involved an outlay of $622,564 for salaries
of officials, clerks, etc, $1,SS6,756 for wages,
$873,300 for miscellaneous expenses, includ
ing rent, taxes, etc, and $12,S4S,663 for ma
terials used, mill supplies, freight and
fuel.
The value of the products for the Terri
tory of Hawaii, $24,992,068, is the gross
value, and not the net or true value The
difference between these two should be
carefully noted.
The schedule asked for the value of the
materials in two classes, those purchased
In the crude state and those purchased
in the partly manufacturedr form. For
Hawaii the gross value of products for
1900 was $24,992,063. The value of materials
purchased in a partly manufactured form
was $3,101,806. The difference, $21,890,262, is
the net or true value of products, and rep
resents the Increase In the value of raw
materials resulting from the various pro
cesses of manufacture.
Industrial condltiQns in Hawaii are very
different from those- which exist In other
parts of the United States. Sugar manu
facturing constitutes 77 per cent of the
manufacturing of the territory, as meas
ured by the value of products, the other
manufacturing industries being chiefly the
hand trades. Moreover, only raw sugar
Is manufactured, no sugar refining or mo
lasses manufacture being carried on in
the territory.
The manufacturing Industries of the ter
ritory are confined to" the four larger
Islands Hawaii, Maui, Oafiu and Kauai
which comprise about 90 per cent of the
territorial area, and had, at the census of
1900, a population of 151,325, or 9S.3 per cent
of the total.
Of the 463 establishments of all classes.
247, or 52.8 per cent, were small sfiups, in
eluded in the groups of "hand trades"
and "establishments with a product of less
than $500." The value of the products of
these establishments, "consisting principal
ly of the sums received for custom work
and repairing, amounted to $1,675.069, or
WILL PAY UP.
only 6.7 per cent of the total value of the
products of the territory. '
In addition to the 46S active establish
ments in the territory during the census
year, with a capital of $11,55S.609, shown In
taole 2, there were four idle establish
ments, all In the sugar industry, with a
capital of $617,834.
The Industrial position of Hawaii Is
unique In that most of the manufacturing
and mechanical industries are maintained
for supplying local demands. The excep
tions are the sugar Industry, coffee-cleaning
and rice-cleaning and polishing; and
the production of rice and coffee Is only
slightly -in excess of. local requirements.
High grades of brown sugar are produced,
almost all of which is shipped to the
United States. No molases Is made, as
the percentage of sugar extracted is so
high as to render the residuum valueless
for any purpose except that of a fertilizer,
and no sugar Is refined. Upon the sugar
Industry all other industries are depend
ent, and the prosperity of the islands in
creases or diminishes as this thrives or
'languishes.
Lack, of labor Is a serious obstacle to the
complete development of Hawaiian indus
tries, although wages, both'of skilled and
unskilled employes, in many occupations
are, as a rule, higher than those paid else
where, and continuous employment Is af
forded. There are practically no unem
ployed. While It Is not the province of this bul
letin to discuss the ag- '- -i features
of the territory. It is necessary to refer to
them in order to convey a clear under
standing of the general industrial situa
tion, and, particularly, the prevailing la
bor conditions. The profitable production
of sugar, upon which the industrial pros
perity of the territory is founded, Is de
pendent upon the extent of the successful
production of sugar-cane. The labor em
ployed In this, the agricultural, branch of
the sugar industry Is almost wholly Mon
golian. The annexation of the Hawaiian Islands
brought them within the scope of the
United States laws prohibiting the Immi
gration of Chinese and the Importation of
laborers under contract. The ranks of
these nationalities in the territory have
been heavily depleted since annexation,
not only by natural causes, death or dis
ability, but by a steady exodus of con
siderable numbers, who, having accumu
lated sufficient means either to constitute
a competence or to enable them to em
bark in business in their own countries,
have returned to their native lands. This
diminution Is constantly going on, and all
efforts to fill the enlarging gap in the la
bor supply have thus far proved futile. A
few hundred laborers have been brought
from Porto Rico, but not in sufficient
numbers to supply the growing deficiency;
and efforts to procure satisfactory labor
ers from other sections of the United
States have failed. Not only Is the num
ber of laborers barely sufficient to prop
erly carry on plantation work in its pres
ent development, but the laborers knowl
edge of the situation has had the effect of
rendering them, as a rule, careless and
negligent in prosecuting their employment
and irregular in Its performance, it being
well understood that employers will not
readily dismiss Inefficient employes, owing
to the difficulty of supplying their places.
The manufacture of sugar is by far the
most Important Industry in the territory.
The 44 establishments reported for this
industry gave employment to 2369 persons,
or 51.6 per cent of the wage-earners of
the territory, and the products 'were val
ued at $19,254,773, or 77 per cent of the to
tal value of the products.

began about 65 years ago. The crude ma
chinery and primitive methods were not
greatly improved upon for many years,
and the output was small until 1S75, when
the manufacture received great Impetus.
New mills of the best kind, equipped with
modern machinery, have since been built.
Some of the other Industries In Hawaii
are worthy of mention, although none of
them approach In Importance the manu
facture of sugar. The Industry which
ranks second In the value of products is
the manufacture of fertilizers. There were
three establishments In this Industry in
1900, with 126 wage-earners, and products
valued at $1,150,625.
The manufacture of foundry and ma
chine shop products ranks third. There
were four establishments In this Industry
in 1900, with 363 wage-earners, and prod
ucts valued at $1,107,030.
There were 41 establishments in tho
cleaning and polishing of rice In 1900, with
173 wage-earners, and products valued at
$664,300.
Urban Manufactures.
The only city in the territory of suffi
cient importance to justify a separate
presentation of statistics is Honolulu.
With a population of 39,306, or 25.5 per cent
of that territory, at the census of 1000,
the city had 119, or 30.1 per cent, of the
395 establishments in the territory, with
25.7 per cent of their total capital. Of
the total number of wage-earners, 37.2
per cent were employed In the city, to
whom was paid 51.S per cent of the total
wages. Notwithstanding these large pro
portions, the value of products amounted
to'only 1S.5 per cent of the total for the
territory. This Is due to the large pro
portion of sugar manufactured In sub
urban establishments. The manufacture
of foundry and machine shop products Is
the most Important Industry of the city.
It Is almost wholly based on the constant
demands of the sugar-producing establish
ments for "mill work and machinery.
A table attached to the report shows
that the total capital Invested in sugar
In the Islands was $7,991,642, and that 16,300
acres of land are devoted to its manufac
ture. The buildings devoted to this pur
pose are valued at $1,115,427, and the ma
chinery. $6,556,915. There are 3S5 salaried
officials and clerks connected with these
factories, whose annual salaries amount
to $363,610. The wage-earners. 2369 In num
ber, are paid but $74S,116 per annum. The
total cost of materials used In the manu
facture of sugar in Hawaii last year was
$9,777,922.
HOG-RIPENED WHISKY.
An Old Tavern-Keeper Who Knew
Hovr to Advertise.
Philadelphia Record.
Doylestown, Pa. There are but few
people who can be Induced to believe that
there ever was such a drink as "hog
rlpened whisky," but among the older
generation It would be no trouble at all
to secure affidavits that such a beverage
was well known In this immediate vicin
ity. There was in the days gone by, In
a village only four miles from here, a
man who kept a tavern that soon became
famous through Its proprietor's unique
Inventions and Ingenious contrivances to
attract attention to his hostelry'. Then,
as now, to succeed meant .the necessity
of being well advertised. In his effort
to do something new "Uncle Billy," ,as
he was called, conceived an invention that
was potent in making his tavern the
most talked about one for miles around.
The result, as known to the patrons of
the Inn, was some good whisky, of some
age. that had been continuously agitated
while within the oaken casks within
which the drinks were kept for "ripen
ing." What the curious ones discovered about
the invention was this: When they went
to see the ripening of the whisky they
found a hogpen with a plank floor, so bal
anced as to swing like a big barn scale.
There was an open side farthest from the
feeding trough, and the sides were fenced.
The way the thing operated was simple
enough. The hogs were out in the yard
nosing around, when they heard the
splash of the feed as it was put in the
trough. Naturally, as the weight came
first on the side farthest from the trough,
that side of the floor tilted down under
the swine's weight. When they all got
over to the trough that side, in turn, went
down. And so the plank floor was rocked
back and forth every time a hog went
in or out.
Connected with this swing platform was
another one which received equivalent
motion, of course, through the medium
of a long lever. On this second platform
were set the casks of whisky which were
to undergo the ripening process. Of
course, every time the lower floor rocked
so did the upper likewise, and the whisky
was shaken around with every motion.
Naturally, Uncle Billy's hogs were fat
ter than anybody else's, because they
were fed so much oftener. Part of the
ripening depended on feeding the hogs,
so as to make them rush in through the
open door and thus shake the platform.

"When I began treatment at the Cope

had affected my stomach to such an ex

Constant Misery.
"I was so reduced In weight and

was able to do only the lightest kind of
work.

became Involved that I gave my condition
any serious thought.
"It Is hard to find words to express the
misery I endured for IS months. At times
I had a severe aching pain in the stom

times there seemed to be a

feel so nervous that I could not rest. My
Appetite Tvns Changeable.
"At times I would be ravenous, with a

with my suffering, told terribly on my
