TRUST BOYCOTTED
EXPRESS COMPANY
The Booth Fishortes Caught With tlio
Goods Made Fight to Break Up In
dependent Fish Company.
Seattle, Wash., July S. Wells-Forgo
& Co. have boon boycotted by eastern
fish interests doing business in the
northwest to aiil the formation of u
fish combination in restraint of com
irtitioii, according to government doc
umentary evidence made public Tues
day. The evideueo wan released by Vnited
States Attorney Clayallen for use be
fore the interstate rominrce commis
sion in tlio fight brought by indepen
dent fish companies ng.inst a new ex
press schedule alleged to bo designiM
to crush them.
Thin evidence consists mostly of con
fidential letters of tlio bonds of hie
houses. I
The letters and telegrams from the
personal files of I). 1. Carey, general
agent of Wells Furgo & Co., appear to
show that tho Mooth Fisheries interests
the priucipal alleged violators of tlto
Sherman antitrust law boycotted the
Wells -Fargo concern for more than a
year, until the express company agreed
to do certain things calculated to crush
the small indcpeud-.Mit fish companies
of I'uget Sound.
These files are the main evidence
against the Hooth Fisheries in trust
prosecutions, I'nited States officials
my, should the grand jury return an in
dictment. They are the basis of tire
entire tisli investigation. s
The letters and telegrams were held
in confidence by Vnited States Attor
ney Allen until the action started by
the Weiding Fish company (or Inde
pendent Fish cumpiiny) came before the
interstate commerce commission.
The Weiding company, making a test
ease for n dozen independent fish com
panies of I'uget Sound, petitioned Com
missioner I'ngh yesterday for a reversal
nf the express schedule about to go in
to effect prohibiting the opening of
through cars of fish which they declar
ed was instituted by the Month interests
to crush the independents.
It was only when Corwin S. Shank,
attorney for tho Weiding compauy,
produced the consent of Carey for his
personal files to be used inPvidenee
t lint the I'nited States attorney allow
ed them to leave his office. Shank will
copy nil the correspondence and for
ward it to the interstuto commerce com
mission in Washington.

"THE OLD RELIABLE"
REM KDYfor fvl KN

FflOM PIANTEN 93 HENRY ST. BROOKLYN. NY.
Most important and fur-reaching
among the resolutions adopted by the
county superintendent lu their confer
ence ut Sulein last week, was the one
authorizing the state superintendent to
prepare n uniform enrd record for the
pupils of llie grades ami high schools
of the state to he used in all districts
of the second and third class. On these
cards are to be recorded, not only the
standings in each subject, but also the
teacher's estimate of the pupil's appli
cation for study, a note of the sub
jects in which ho excells and a physical
record; the lines of work in which he
seems especially interested and his be
havior. If ho should leave school be
fore finishing the grades, this will be
noted, with the cause of his leaving.
When the child is ready to enter high
school, this record will be of service to
tho teacher and to the parent in plun
uiiW the pupil's high school course.
For example, the boy has always been
exceptionally strong in mathematics and
shows n leaning toward scientific work,
but has been rather weak in his lan
guage work, it will be easy to deter
mine the course lor which he is natur
ally fitted. If he has been very irregu
lar in attendance all through his grado
work, it will show the high school teach
ed that he will need special attention in
order to get anything from his high
school course. The record, in short,
will lie a vocational guide and will help
the toucher to bo of assistance to the
boy or girl in finding out wliat kind
of work they are best fitted to do.
The plan is to have each teacher send
this record once a year to the office of
the county superintendent, lie wilt
have n card index system in his office,
and the teacher's report will be tran
scribed to this card.

Kugene, Ore., July (!. My chewing n
key from n tin bucket while his hands
were bound together, J olui Hodgen,

with his teeth. The tin bucket was
half torn to pieces.
Modgen has been captured and re
captured many times. He broke out

HENRY CLEWS' WEEKLY
" FINANCIAL LETTER
New York, July 3. At Inst the stock
market seems on the verge of awaking
from its lethargic sleep, and this in
spite of the many uv.:i,vurullo factors
which still remain. F.vieutly these have
been liberally discounted. Such shocks
as the Claflin failure, the assassination
of Archduke Francis Ferdinnnd and
fresh railroad receiverships arc almost
ignored. For some time past it has
been self-evident that this market was
thoroughly sold out after nearly twenty
months of steady liquidation. Its tech
nical position, as has been frequently
pointed out, is steadily improving; and
only some developments of a convinc
ing and promising nature arc needed to
infuse fresh life and hope into tlu' local
market. In some circles the occasional
strength of the market was credited to
anticipations of It favorable rate deci
sion. This, however, was pure guess
work, as the dictum of the commission
has been still further delayed and thoir
opinion vs a body is still kept in per
fect secrecy. There is good reason to
hope for at least a moderately favor
able decision, simply because of the
justice of the claims of the railroads.
Mut on the other hand the commissijn
is apparently a body, lacking probably
sufficient practical experience, hence
slow and hesitating in vastly impi rtnut
far-reaching decisions sm'i as now con
nected with the railroads, as they are
still under a fire of severe criticism
for misdeeds und extrnvngauces that
are now a matter of history. In any
event the commission is obliged to
move cautiously in the matter of rates,
the regulation of which is a task of
tremendous magnitude, only appreciat
ed by those intimate with railroad man
agement. Consequently it would be
safer not to expect any liberal conces
sions to the transportation companies
at the start, but rather an opportunity
for the latter to further demonstrate
their need by first effecting nil prac
tical economy ami then wuiting to learn
the effect of nn improvement of busi
ness, which is now more confidently
expected. The position of the railroads
was well described recently in these
words: "The private individual fur
nishes nil the cash, the government
does nil the regulating und the owner
curries all the responsibility." Cer
tainly the Interstate Commerce com
mission has been givt'u powers never
before equalled in history.
The railroads are likely to get more
real help from business improvement
than from any concessTons through the
Interstate Commerce commission,. The
splendid outlook for nearly nil crops
throughout the West and on the Fa
cifie coast is by far the most encour
aging element in the whole situation.
Mere is genuine wealth newly created.
Our wheat crop is simply phenomenal,
and promises with its yield of over
IMUt.OOO.OOO bushels to add fully 7iH,
000,000 ef new wealth within the next
few weeks, the harvest being well nil
vauced. Our ruilroads are already
bringing out idle ears for the purpose
of marketing this vast crop, Hankers
and merchnnts in the grain belt are
exceedingly optimistic, knowing full
wMl thut the farmers with well filled
coffers will be free spenders. The big
jobbing houses of the West are openly
confident. Tho agricultural implement ;
concerns are looking forward to a good i
business and a free payment of farm
ers' loans which had been accumulat
ing. Low priced automobile concerns
lire also expecting large sales to the '
farmers. The fruit crop is good in al
most nil sections, arid the corn crop I
is progressing" satisfactorily under fa
vorable conditions, in spite of the ab
sence of warm weather. Current esti
mates nrc for a crop of 2,!ll)(),0()0,000
bushels,, which would be the largest
crop on record except that of 1!12
which amounted to 3,124,000,000. The
only importnnt crop not doing really
well is cotton, tho condition of which
was reported at 7!UI against 81.8 last
yenr, but the acreage is large, ;ili,fl00,
000, having been exceeded but ouee,
last year, and the latest advices now ,
say the crop is growing well. Allow
ing for the usual deterioration in July
and August, there is still time for more
than average crops of both cotton and
corn, and the agricultural outlook as a
whole is one thnt affords the soundest
available basis for encouragement. One
good authority estimates that our agri
cultural products this year, including
naimnls, will probably reach 11 or 12
billioa dollars, compared with 10 bil
lions Inst year.
Xext to the crops, the best support
ing influence is cheap money. Funds
are abundant for nil sound purposes.
There may be som closer scrutiny of
commercial credit resulting from the
Claflin failure, hut rode conditions
generally are sound and good borrowers
will find no difficulty in securing all
the accommodation which they may
need. Further assurance regarding the
money market has been guaranteed by
Secretary McAdoo's prudent offer to
give such assydunce through .the re
lease of treasury funds for moving the
crops ns may be necessary. It is quite
probable that the new reserve system
will not be in working order in time to
meet, financial requirements this au
tumn. Hence the timeliness of the sec
retary's action. Moreover, it will be
some months and possibly a year before
the new banking system is in thorough
working order. Hold exports have
about ended, and soon we shall be ex
porting wheat and cotton instead. In
spite of the recent large exports of
gold, our bunks are well supplied with
the precious metal.
The situation abroad shows mi im
proving tendency, especially at London,
At l'aris there is still some tension
owing to nn uneasy political situation,
but financial affairs generally on the
continent are settling down, and the
calmness with which the assassination
at Sarajevo was received shows that
no serious complication are yet in
prospect. The shock of the Claflin fail
ure has been safely passed: although
it is somewhat premature to anticipate
that the taking eare of over $30,000,000
of liabilities can be affected without
some losses .siml difficulties. Current
railroad earnings frequently show very
poor results, and additional receiver
ships are unpleasant reminders of the
strain imposed upon railroad fiunnces

WILSON INSISTS ON
WARBURG'S CONFIRMATION
Washington, July S. President Wil

the confirmation of Paul Warburg and
Thomas Jones as members of the fed

He issued an official statement ex
pressing his unbroken confidence in
both of them and expressing the hope
that the senate would yet indorse the
two appointments.

Warburg to reconsider his refusal to

belong to the past. The future cer
tainly begins to look mure cheerful.
Good crops nnd easy money are factors
powerfully helpful. The improvement
in financial affairs abroad should make
foreign buyers more favorablv inclined
to American investments. The admin
istration has about accomplished nil
that it wishes in new legislation affect

therefore, gradually dispiour. Com

that we are about turning the corner.
11 KXR Y CLEWS.
San Diego, Cub, July 7. Leaving
East Newport, near Los Angeles, at
10:52 this morning, Aviator Glenn Mar
tin made a record flight with a passen
ger in his hydro-aeroplane when he
made the distance of 100 miles to the
North Island military aviation camp
here in one hour and 12 minutes.
Lieutenant T. S. Bowen of tho army
aviation school nccompnnied Martin on,
the trip.
The hydro-aeroplane followed the
const line all the way down to Point
Lomn, keeping well over the water. A
heavy fog made aviation in the higher
altitudes impossible and the flying
boat was never more than 500 feet
above the Surface of the water.
"We could have dropped down on
t, the water in perfect safety at any
time," Miirtin said, discussing the trip.
"The tructor worked splendidly and
there were no lnccliiinicul difficulties
whatever."
Martin said that the trip today made
a trims-Atlantic, flight seem more plaus
ible to his mind.
"At tho same time," he added. "I
look upon a flight across the Atlantiis
as extremely hazardous. When you get
a hydro-aeroplane that far out of sight
of land the chances ure apt to bo
against you."
