AS TO THE TRUSTS

'A

GREAT VICTORY OF A NEW NATIONAL POLICY"

TRUST MEASURE WILL PASS

[The Diplomacy Necessary to Proper Conduct of Such Affairs.

the

rj When President Roosevelt began his speeches on "Trusts" last summer all felt a grave risk had been, courageously ussumed. This feeling was equally shared by those who opposed a'lid by those who supported his course, by those who approved and by those who disapproved the regulation of trusts by federal legislation.

If much were accomplished great business interests might be injured. If nothing were done the prestige and position of the president, his administration and the Republican party might be imperiled.

Six months have passed. A measure regulating trusts is now certain to pass congress. It will be conservative. It will not disturb business. Solvent and well-managed enterprises it Avill not affect. Others need small consideration. It is accepted, however unwillingly, as necessary and inevitable by the ablest and most powerful capitalists in charge of 1 hese great corporations. It is drawn by the congressment who have been most conspicuous in demanding the regulation of trusts. A contest which might, it once seemed probable, either inflict injury on business if a law were passed and if none were enacted JRight arouse public opinion to demand extreme measures has been brought to a healthy com promise.

Publicity will be secured, not without vexatious ^interference with busine management and business secrets. The long litigation under the Sherman antitrust act will be brought to an early decision. Railroad rebates, on which trusts have thrived, will be made more difficult by making it as dangerous to accept a rebate as to grant one. Secret contracts as to price will be regulated.

This legislation, which promises to pass without serious opposition, brings the great corporations under the puview of the law: It begins the difficult task of government supervision in a new field. What President Roosevelt demanded last summer is begun, and begun with a measure which changes all the outlook for trusts. Their freedom from all regulation ends. Their reports will be- public. Their special railroad favors will be curtailed. Competition will have the support of law against secret competition.

It is a great victory for a new national policy, boldly launched, wisely urged and brought to a conclusion which satisfies the country as the first step in a difficult problem, without disturbing business, endangering credit, or alarming capital:

Death of the Rev. William Cuppy. A telegram was received here last night announcing the death of the Rev. William T. Cuppy, at Waveland. The deceased has a brother. James L., and a niece1,' Mrs. Charles T. Knight, living on North Ninth street, this city. Mr. Cuppy was well known in the city and has preached at the Baptist churches. The funeral will be at Shelburn, Tuesday .morning, that being his former home. He leaves a wife, two sons and a daughsons, Hazlitt A. Cuppy, is. editor of the Public Opinion, New York city. Rev. Mr. Cuppy was at one time pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle church in he north part of the city. His home has been at Waveland for the past 'twenty years.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL

Few People Know How Useful It Is In Preserving Health and Beauty. Nearly everybody knows "that charcoal is the safest and/ most efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature, but few realize its value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose.

Charcoal is a remedy that the. more you take of it the better it is not a ihug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system.

Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables.

Charcoal effectually clears and improves the complexion it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic.

It absorbs the injurious gases which 'collect in the stomach and bowels it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.

All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey.

The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complexion, (sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary, great benefit.

Buffalo physician, in speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says: "I advise Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat: I also believe the liver is greatly benefited bv the daily use of them they cost but twenty-live cents a box at drug stores, and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet I believe I get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges than' in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets.

THE SIGN WAS ALL RIGHT

But the People Didn't Read It Right and the East Main Street Saloon Venture Failed.

Messrs. Gambel and LTsery, two young men who. started a,, saloon on East Main street, a short time ago, have locked up their place and gone out of business. Their saloon was located between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, and the following suggestive sign was printed on the window in red letters, which any thirsty man could read as he ran, "Gambel and Usery." But the people, from some cause failed to act on the suggestion and Avalked on past the place. They kept on walking past until the cash register begin to get rusty, the rent was past due, and the proprietors, whose amalgamated names were so suggestive, were fdrccd to walk out and quite business. It is true that there is nothing in a name, and it is also true that there is nothing in two names.

Suspects Were Not Thieves. The police department yesterday received a letter from the police department at Indianapolis, in response to an inquiry made regarding Julius Sehnell and William Best, from that city, who were arrested here with some machinists' tools and were being held as suspects. When arrested the young men gave their names as Harry Myers and Roy Ford and claimed that they came from Chicago. Later they gave their correct names mid said ^hat they gave ficticious names because they did not want their friends at Indianapolis to know that they had been arrested. The police say that both boys worked in Indianapolis as they claimed, and that their reputations were good. They were suspected of having stolen the tools they, carried. They were released on receipt of the letter from the Indianapolis department.

Oak Street Man Knocks His Wife Down and Chases His Son from the House.

Isaac Meacham, an Oak street resident, whose fondness for the exhilarating fluid has won him many interviews with the police department, was arrested by. Patrolman Doyle and taken to jail last night after he had chased his family from the house and threatened to depopulate the voting precinct in which he lives.

Meacham had spent the afternoon at the different "places" on the west side and had acquired a good sized cargo of "'fightin' licker." When he arrived at his home at First and Oak street, the rugs on the floor were not arranged to suit his fastidious taste and he begun upbraiding his wife. Words proved insufficiently expressive, and to be more emiphatie he knocked lier down and kicked her for falling When the son interfered to protect his mother, Meacham seifced a knife and made for the boy, threaening to slice him into shoe strings but the boy with his mother escaped the drink-crazed man by fleeing from the house. Meacham then closed the doors and warned them that he would kill them both if they ventured back. Mrs. Meacham came to the police station, to where Justice Brown was called and a warrant was issued for the man's arrest. When the officer called to serve the paper, he found Meacham standing guard at the door with a knife and announcing that he would make mincemeat out of any person who attempted to intrude. The sight of the officers star caused him to undergo a change of mind, and he submitted to arrest without resistance. He was taken to jail, where he will be held until Monday morning, when he will be given a trial on the charge of assault and battery. After Meacham was taken to jail, his wife and boy, who had been forced to remain out in the storm, were permitted to go to the house and go to bed.

ABANDONED HIS WIFE

James Peyton Was Taken Into Camp Last N:ight and Will Have to Explain a Few Things.

James Peyton, a well-known west side character, who until a few days ago lived with .his'wife--over Fink's grocery store, on West Main street, was arrested by Patrolman Feiler last night on a warrant charging him with deserting his wife. The warrant was sworn to by his wife and was issued by Justice Brown early in the evening. The woman says that a few days ago her husband left her with nothing to eat and no fuel. She asked him to conic home and make some effort to earn a living for his wife and children, but that curses were the only responses to her pleading. She concluded that if he would not support her, he should pay he penalty of his cruel desertion and so caused the warrant to be issued for his arrest. He was unable to give bond for his appearance for trial Monday morning and was forced to go to jail.

THE STIELER MAP DIFFERS FROM PRECEDING ONES

ONLY OWE-FOURTH FINISHED

The Latest Edition of the Stieler SixSheet Atlas of the United States.

The most famous atlas in Europe, the Stieler Hand atlas, publish in Germany is now being issued in a new edition. The processes of manufacturing have been cheapened by the use of recent mechanical improvements so that the atlas is to be sold at a lower price than formerly.

Only about one-fourth of the new atlas has yet appeared, but the published portion includes the six-sheet map of the United States, long recognized as the best foreign map of this country in fact, it is not equalled in point of accuracy by many other maps, though not a few of the products of our own map houses, being printed on a much larger scale, contain a greater amount of detail. The best maps produced by our Coast and Geodetic Survey and Geological Survey are of course the authorita tive maps of the country and the great value of the Stieler map is due to the fact that our government maps are the basis on which it is prepared.

The new Stieler map of the United States differs so much from any preceding edition that it is worthy of particular attention. Like all its predecessors it is on a scale of 1:3,700,000 or 57.84 statute miles to an inch.

This is a comparatively small scale and as the map gives a particularly clear view of the topography of the country a great many place names are, of course, omitted. Only Mount Washington for example is named among the summits of the Presidential range ih the White mountains but all the peaks are there much more clearly presented than on many a: map of home manufacture.

The broad outlines of the topography of the White mountain region are perfectly accurate and so plainly presented that a novice might understand them. There is the Crawford Notch and any one who sees on tnis map the railroad through it knows that the trains between Boston and Montreal pass through a deep depression among* the mountains.

The Catskills do not cover a space more than a' half inch square, but the trend of the ranges, tlie .railroads on 4fte plateau and the drainage features are vividly shown. Those little streams, the Scoharie and BataHa/fee-ndt naniedj-biit they may be tra-ced from source to end, and the big hills that, separate them are conspicuous.

Any one who ha? travelled on the Penn sylvania and Baltimore and Ohib railroads between Wilmington, Del., and

timore, know that they. are, separated by some miles until they l.'cach tlie ^usqueiianna River, which they cross on bridges about l.oOO feet apart, and.then they diverge again at Baltimore. On ibis small scale many of the lines are seen side by side, except at the Susquehanna where the distance between them is too small to be shown on a small-scale map and so they apparently cross the river on the same bridge, diverging again south of the river.

Three scales are given, nautical and English miles and^kilometres. The heights of all elevations were formerly shown in English feet, but thev now appear in metres, an inovation that may nbt be en-, thusiastieally received in our country.

There is a great difference in appearance between the present and the earlier editions, due chiefly to the more liberal use of colors on the new map. Formerly colors were almost entirely used to indicate boundary lines. They are now employed with striking effect to show various topographic features.

The hachuring used to show the mountains is emphasized by browns, which cause our higher elevations to stand out

on the map in bold relief. Sand areas are tinted-yellow and lakes appear in blue. TJie attractive appearance of the map is thus enhanced. Formerly the map was nearly all black and white, except for the- slightly colored boundaries. It is easy on the new map to distinguish the states from the territories, for their boundary lines are differently indicated.

It is astonishing how much information can be presented on this map, where every inch represents a distance of more than fifty-seven miles Along the coasts we see the lighthouses, the sandbanks and the reefs. Through the country one may take in almost at a glance the national parks, the Indian and military reservations, the leading mining districts, missionary stations and the chicf lines of railroad and telegraph.

Hundreds of heights above sea level are given for the lakes and mountains. Place names have five different symbols to indicate approximately the size of each town according to the last census.

Of course the new facts know about the topography of the country, through the later work of the topographical survey have been introduced on the map which contains, for example, the best delineation of the Catskills it has ever given, simply because the topographical survey of most of the Catskill sheets has been completed and the sheets are now at the service of cartographers for the improvement of their maps.

There are inset maps of Xiagara Falls Boston and New York showing them on a much larger scale. Color is used on the map of Crcater New York in such a way as to differentiate the thfckly peopled area from the cabbage, farms and salt marshes that have the honor'to be included within our area.

It pays to bring a reading glass to bear upon such maps as these because the accurate detail is then more clearly presented: some of it otherwise might escape notice. The pleasure of readincr thoroughly good maps is largely due 1o the fact that they are artistically made and on the whole, represent accurately the leadinsr facts known about geography. It is enjoyable to study a map that scientifically presents the best attainable information.

THE MUTILATED BABE

Detectives Have So Far Failed to Find Any Clue as to the Mother of the Child.

Detectives are working in the effort to find, the mothc-r of the mangled baby found buried in the gravel pit yesterday morning but so far have failed to unearth any facts which throw any light on the mystery. The qoroner is using all possible precaution in aiding the police, and it is possible that the true facts will be brought to the surface and the unnatural parent brought to justice. The coroner has not yet completed his autopsy, and is therefore unable to say whether or not the child was born alive. It is reasonably certain that the child was placed there during the night to conceal the identity of the mother, and whether the child was born dead or alive makes but little difference as to the brutaljty of the act. What puzzles the detectives is to find, a motive for mutilating the child before buryingTt. There is much Interest in the affair among the residents in the vicinity, of the. rolling mill, and the investigation, it is said, will be continued until the mystery Is fathomed and the. guilty, parties brought to justice. As soon as the coroner determines whether or not the child was born alive, a theory will be decided on by the detectives. The idea that the child is legitimate, and belongs to parents who were unable to give it a burial. Is not accepted, as in such a case .the parents could have asked aid' from the county.
