XKW YORK, Dec. 8.- William G.
McAdoo, secietarv of the licasuty,
saw nothing wrong, while a private
citizen, in the acquisition of the Ilos-
Maino railrond by the New
Haven & Hartford rail
road
His view in tho matter was disclos
ton &
York, New
ed today in the form of a letter rend
by the defense at tho conspiracy trial
of eleven former directors of the New
Hnvcn rond.
The letter was written by Mr. Mc
Adoo to Charles S. Mellon on June
10, 1007, at tho time the New Haven
had acquired a majority of the Dos
ton Maine stock. Mr. McAdoo con
gratulated the then New Haven pies
ident on the progress made itr getting
,thc stock, hoped his plnns would be
icithzed and added thnt he did not
see how any "broad-gunged and pro
gressive mnn can lutvo any other
view than thnt it will be beneficial to
New Kngland."

ment tfn the form of' the decree thnt
Judge Chailcs rJ. Wolvcrton is to
sign, in accordance with a decision
of the United States supreme court,
which recently declared the Inml for-
felted. Thcighwit comprises 2,300,-
000 acrcV. . '
The mandate of the supreme court
wns filed todny at the opening of the

title the Southern Pacific company,

Peter F. Dunne, chief counsel for

jcr ncrc, to the profits of tho snlo
of timber on the land nt the expira
tion of a temporary injunction,' in
enso congress hns not taken action ,to

jnionths.
Real Worth vs. Low Cost
If you asked your butchor for .
o porterhouse 3toak and ho handed
you a out of tho flank and said,,
"This doesn't cost as much and
is just as good," you wouldn't
believe him, would you?
Yot tho butchor' s statement'
"is just as truthful as tho asser-
tion that inforior baking pow
ders made of alum or phosphate
of lime are as good as Royal,,
which is mado from cream of(
tdrtar.
O Alum is a mineral acid salt',
declared by many medical' authori
ties unsafe to use in food.
Royal Baking Powdor i3 as
puro and wholosomo as tho vinoyard
erapos from which its cream of
tartar i3 derived.
Tho only roason for using suoh
substitutes as alum and lime
phosphate is booauso their cost
is loss to the manufacturer.!
