Washington, Dec. 2-=Representa- tives of the American Pneumatic Ser- vice company today appeared before a special senate commission of which Senator Guggenheim of Colorado is chairman, to urge that the govern- ment purchase the postal pneumatic tube systems In New York, Chicago, Boston and St. Louls. The commi sion was told that this company through__subsidiaries had invested about $7,250,000 in the four cities and would be willing to sell at a fair val- uation to be agreed upon after inve: tigaton by government experts. Charles Hayden, representing the company, said the postal tube service was essentlally_a government enter- prise and that”his company desired to sell out because, unless its con- tracts were renewed for long periods the property would revert to the cities granting rights of way and there would be no chance to get back the original investment, The government now pays $17,000 a mile for the use of the tubes under contracts entered into by, the post office department.

LEGALLY DEAD FOR SEVENTEEN YEARS But Miss Allen Turned Up Yesterday to Claim Her Share of Award. Boston, Dec. 2.—Miss Mabel E. Al- len of 260 Henry street, Brooklyn, who has been legally dead for more than 17 years, was restored to life by the law in the Suffolk county probate court today ang incidentally came into some property.

The woman was accordingly declared legally dead. The decree was later afirmed by the upreme judicial court of ‘Massachu- setts and the supreme court of the United States. The funds were held in the meantime by a receiver.

MILLIONAIRES MAY SAVE GENERAL SICKLES’ RELICS Third Panel of Sheriffs Jury Votes $1,000 and Will Raise More. New York, Dec. 2.—A portion of that wealthy coterie of men forming the third panel of the sheriffs jury to- night voted $1,000 to be “expended ju- diciously” at ‘the sale Wednesday by the sheriff of the personal effects of General Daniel E, Sickles. Vincent Astor, Cornelius Vanderbilt, George Ehret and several others of the mil- lionaire jurors were not present, else the sum rajsed probably would have been larger. The committee appointed to expend the thousand dollars will canvass the members of the first and second panels of jurors and hopes that each will subscribe & sum equal to that raised by the third panel and that with this three thousand dollars and individual contributions from the millionaires who were absent today, a sum suffi- clent to wipe out the judgment. of $5,500 against the aged ‘gemeral tan be secured and the sale stopped. Should the entire amount not be forthcoming the committee will at- tend the sale and with the funds at its disposal buy in such relics as it can and return them to General Sickles as a present from the sheriff’s jury. | tary Representative | Tt | of | had | Cabled Paragraphs Luncheon to American Officers in Paris Paris, Dec. 2.—Brig.

WILSON HEARS A TARIFF DEBATE Attends Session of Bermuda Parlia- ment and Makes Speech. collided line, five Hamilton, Bermuda, Dec. 2.—Wood- row Wilson heard today the first tarift discussion since his election as presi- dent of the United States. He visited the Bermuda parliament, where he was loudly cheered and sat among the members for three hours listening to the debate on the vegetable schedules | and observing the methods of budget legislation. In reply to the welcome extended by the speaker, Mr. Wilson said: “T bave been interested in ‘the de- bate, thinking that if we every year went through the items of expenditure and revenue for twelve months there would be a continuous performance which would excel anything the the- aters could ever produce. But the idea is an admirable one, because it affords the house a constant opportunity to review the changing circumstances of the colony. I have admired the busi- ness like manmer of getting through the estimates.” While walking from government house Mr. Wilson said he thought that a yearly revision of the American tar- iftschedules, such as obtained in Ber- muda, would be impracticable. It would be impossible to discuss the es- timates and revenue simultaneously, but he wished that the United States would adopt some budget scheme. The president-elect was a principal in a “first aid’ ‘case this morning. He rescued a honeymoqn couple who fell from their bicycles in front of his house.- The bride was slightly injured and one of Mr. Wilson's daughters as- sisted in bathing her wounds, Samuel Bowles, proprietor of the Springfleld (Mass.)

FOUR CASES DROPPED Government Asks for Dismissal of Four of the 45 Defendants—Hockin Re- signs Office in Iron Workers’ Unien. Indianapolls, Dec. 2—Argument that those who already have _confessed alone caused the illegal transporta- tion of explosives on passenger trains to blow up non-union iron and steel jobs was followed in the examination at the “dynamite conspiracy” trial to- day of Frank M. Ryan, president of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers. Four Cases Dismissed. After the testimony of its 549th Wit- ness, the government closed its case and on its own motion had four of the forty-five defendants dismissed on the ground that the charges against them Were not sustained. Hockin Resigns His Office. Before taking the stand as the first witness for the defense, Mr. Ryan an- nounced the resignation of Herbert S. Hockin as secretary-treasurer of the union. Hockin, a defendant, was sit- ting in_court in custody of bailiffs, having been unable to secure increased bail ordered by the court nine days ago, after witnesses described him as a spy who had helped the McNamaras organize the “dynamiting crew,” and then had given information to the gov- ernment and to detectives after quar- rels with the confessed dynamiters. Mr. Ryan said Hockin's_resignation was voluntary. J. E. McClory of Cleveland succeeds Hockin. President Ryan Testifies Mr. Ryan testified that neither he nor the executive board members knew of any money having been ex- pended by McNamara for dynamiting purposes. All the letters written by him to business, agents in various cities which the government charges contained veiled instructions about jobs to be blown up, Ryan said, simply referred to work upon Wwhich non- union men were employed and upon which it was desired to put union men. L Hardly Knek McManigal “Did you ever talk to Ortie E. Mec- Manigal about dynemiting or tell him to change his appearance oftener, so he would not be recognized?” asked Attorney Willlam N. Harding. “T hardly knew McManigal, and cer- tainly never knew he was employed as dynamiter for McNamara or anyone else Denied Urging Violence. He stated he never had visited a vault in the iron workers’ headquarters in _Indisnapolis where nitro-glycerine and dynamite had been kept, and he never had proposed, as charged, that J. J. McNamara, then secretary of the union, take Hockin's place as head of the “dynamiting crew.” He denled he had urged violence in the union’s strike called seven years ago and which is still on. Explosion Clipping “Matter of News.” Questioned why he enclosed in a letter a newspaper clipping giving an account of an explosion, he explained it was sent to McNamara as a mat- ter of mews. He denfed he had told Bdward Clark, the confessed dynami er, about blowing up a job in Cin- cinnati. PERSONAL, LETTERS FROM HAWTHORNE. Recipients of Them Testify Regarding Them at Latter’s Trial. New York, Dec. 2.—Witnesses from several states today identified some of the “personal letters” which Julian Hawthorne wrote urging them to in- vest in the Cobalt mining properties, for the alleged promotion of Which through the mails Hawthorne, Josiah Quincy of Boston and others are on trial on a charge of fraud. John B. Collins, a retired commo- dore of the United States navy, iden- tified a letter in_which Hawthorne wrote: “Allbut a few thousand shares have been sold since I wrote you, and it does not matter much now whether you subscribe or not, as there will be buy- ers for all unsold shares, and then the stock will be listed.” The witness said he did not sub- seribe. George M. Walker of Indianapolis testified that he bought $450 worth of stock in response to some of Haw- thorne’s letters, in one of which Haw- thorne said: “Of course, 1 assume a certain moral responsibility in urging you to invest your money.” In another he wrote: “La Rose and other Cobalt mines are paying 12 per cent, but we have 20 such properties in our Temagami hold- ings.” One thing my friends may be sure of is that I am not tied up in a stock jobbing scheme.” Julius Neils, a lumberman from Cass Lake, Minn., said he was the owner of 10,000 shares in the Hawthorne Silver and Iron Mines company and some Temagami-Cobalt mines stock as well. He produced a letter from Hawthorne which said: “We already have sold 450,000 shares and could seil from two to three mil- ion_between now and Christmas, but, as I told you, only 500,000 shares will T want to make it clear that I am not a promoter. You need have no_fear about the management.” Richard F. Darsil of Scottdale, Pa., Mrs. Helen F. Lincoln of Winchester, Mass., and Aaron F. Jones of Hast Douglas, Mass, identified other let- ters.

Court Declares Merger lllegal UNION PACIFIC VIOLATED ANTI- TRUST LAW, SAYS SUPREME COURT Circuit Court of Utah District to Su- pervise Separation of Two Systems Involved—Court Opinion Unanimous. Washington, Dec. 2—The great Harriman merger created when the Unlon Pacific Rallroad company bought 46 per cent. of the stock of the Southern Pacific Railway system was split asunder today by the supreme court of the United States as a viol tion of the Sherman anti-trust law. Thep,. the end of the merger be- fore it, the court sent forth its por- tentous declaration that “while the law may not be able to enforce com: petition, it can reach combinations which render competition impractica- ble.” Unanimous Opinion of Court. Justice Day announced the unani- mous opinfon of the court. Justice Van Devanter took no part in the consideration \of the case today, but his principal finding when he was a Judge of the Utah circuit court, to the effect that the two roads were not competitors and therefore no violation of the law had resulted from the pur- chase was reversed and annulled. In- stead of following the reasoning of Justice Van Devanter and Judges Sanborn and Adams, the court in sub- stance approved the minority holding of Judge Hook that the roads were competitors and it was just as much a violation of the law for one road to buy the controlling stock of a com- petitor as it was for a holding com- pany, as In the Northern Securities case, to buy the controlling stock of two competing companies. As the Northern Securities plan fell nearly ten years ago, so the Harriman plan fell today. Establi Powerful Precedent. The cireuit court for the district of Utah was directed to supervise the separation of the two roads after bearings, and in emergency to ap- point a_receiver to sell the stock. The Union Pacific, if the circuit court sees proper, may retain control of the old Central Pacific line from Ogden to San Francisco. The decision of the lower court that there was no viola- tion of the law in the attempt to ac- quire the Northern Pacific stock and the stock of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Rallway company, after- wards abandoned, and a certuin inter- est in the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake Rallroud company was al- lowed to stand. It is the general beliet here that the application of the decision to the rail- road situation of the country will be widespread, placing a powerful prece- dent in the hands of the _attorney general to prevent the consoligation of competing roads. Cannot Enforce Competition. Justice Day in his opinion said “We take it that it may be regarded as settled thatya combination which places raflroads engaged in interstate commerce in such relation as to cre ate a single dominating control in one corporation, whereby natural and ex isting competition in interstate com- merce is unduly restricted or sup- pressed, is within the condemnation of the act. While the law may not be able to enforce competition, it can reach combinations which render com- petition impracticable. Suppression of Competition. “Nor do we think it can make any difference that instead of resorting to a holding company, as was done in the Northern Securities case, the con- trolling interest in_the stock of one corporation Is transferred to the other. The domination and control, and the power to suppress competition, are ac- quired in the one case no less than in the other, and the resulting mischief at which the statute was aimed is equally _effective whichever form is adopted.” LARYNX PUSHED OUT OF PLACE BY SHAFTING Merritt Merwin Mests Death Under Strange Circumstanc New Milford, Conn., Dec. 2.—Merritt Merwin, treasurer ang part owner of the Bennett and Merwin Silver com- pany, met death in a peculiar manner at the factgry here late today. He had gone into a small attic to fix some shafting. Some time later his partner, Charles A. Bennett, discov- ered him unconscious, with his head under the revolving shafting which is close to the floor. medical_attendance could be given him. The medical examiner after consultation wiith other physicians de- cideq that Merwin had fallen under the shafting in such a way that his larynx had been pushed out of place, thereby shutting off his breath.
