morial Fountain Erected
By Congress.
Washington, June 10.—The United
States Is paying homage today to the
discoverer of America, by the unveiling
of a magnificient memorial fountain
erected here by congress to Christopher
Columbus, the humble Genoese navi
gator who opened the portals of this
hemisphere to civilization, Christianity
and liberty.
Standing at the very gates of the
nation's capital, the memorial seemed
a gigantic magnet drawing a repre
sentative throng from every corner of
America. One hundred thousand visit
ors crowded within the city, according
to the estimates of committees conduct
ing the ceremonies. Half of that num
ber are members of the Knights of
Columbus, gathered from near and far,
to give tribute to the patron of their
order.
Tile enthusiasm in Washington today,
is rivalled only by the inauguration of
a president. Imposing unveiling ex
ercises were planned for this afternoon.
President Taft is to speak his praise.
In recognition of the allegiance of
Columbus to the king of Italy, the
Marquis Cusani Confalonieri, the Ital
ian ambassador at Washington, was in
vited to unveil the memorial by re
leasing two huge American flags,
whose folds cling to the granite shaft
and marble statue of Columbus sur
mounting fountain.
A mammoth pageant had been
planned to accompany the unveiling
ceremonies. Simultaneously with the
beginning of the exercises the parade
forms in front of the White House,
moves along Pennsylvania avenue and
passes the union station, before which
the memorial is erected.
Outline of Ceremonies.
Massed about President Taft on the
stands surrounding the memorial are
to be members of cabinet and congress,
justices of the supreme court of the
United States, and practically the en
tire diplomatic corps. Monsignor
Thomas A. Shahan, rector of the Cath
olic university, has been selected to
open the ceremonies with an invoca
tion: Justice Victor J. Dowling, of the
supreme court of New York, to deliver
the initial oration; reciting the encon
iums of the ages upon America’s dis
coverer and James T. McCleary, of the
Columbus Memorial commission, to fol
low with an euology just before the
Italian ambassador, with a few words
of tribute to his illustrious country
man, reveals the monument to tho
view of the world.
Immediately the pile of granite and
marble is uncovered, the plans call for
a national salute of 21 guns to Chris
topher Columbus, whose statue with
the mien of the dreamer that he was,
gazes in the direction of the United
States capitol.
Wreaths from the president of the
United States and the Knights of Co
lumbus were ready to be laid about the
stone figure. Following the nations
tribute, spoken by President Taft, the
programme is to close with the simple
apostolic benediction of the Methodist
Episcopal church, pronounced by Bish
op E. Thirkield, president of Howard
university.
It is planned to have the parade,
under command of Gen. R. K. Evans,
IT. S. A., as grand marshal, pass in re
view of President Taft and James A.
Flaherty, supreme knight of the
Knights of Columbus.
STREET GAR STRIKE
TROUBLE IS FEARED
Pew Cars Running In Boston
and Many Of Them Are
Guarded By the Police.
Boston, June 19.—After a night of
complete suspension of street railway
traffic as a result of the strike of sev
eral thousands of employes, the Bos
ton Railroad company resumed opera
tions on all surface, elevated and tun
nel lines today, but the number of
cars in operation was noticeably much
less than usual.
Officials of the company, which con
trols nearly all the electric lines within
a radius of five miles, said that 90 per
cent of the average number of cars
were running, and that 1,000 new men
were ready to start work in the'places
of the strikers. The company also
claimed that the cars were being oper
ated practically on schedule time.
Fred Fay, international organizer of
the Amalgamated Association of Street
Railway Employes, and the leader of
the strike, said that more than 4,000
employes were on strike, and that only
a small fraction of the usual number
of cars were in operation.
There were fears of trouble during
the afternoon, when thousands of
working people were having their
weekly half holiday. Policemen rode
on many of the cars, and the streets
through which the cars run were well
patrolled.
SENIOR CLASS BOYCOTT
BY WESLEYAN CO-EDS
Middletown, Conn., June 10.—Indig
nant at the snubs which they say their
sisters have received in the past from
the male students, Wesleyan’s last class
of co-eds has decided not to accept tho
invitation to sit with the men on class
day. They will hold their exercises by
themselves.
For 20 years or more the women have
been boycotted socially at Wesleyan,
as a protest against the continuance of
coeducation, and in 1909 the trustees
voted to make Wesleyan strictly a
men’s college, beginning in September,
1912.
The men in the rresent senior class
decided to lift the ban a few weeks ago
and invited the fair ones to join them
in their commencement exercises. It
was thought that the young women
would accept, and their refusal was the
chief topic of conversation about the
college today.

Sugar Business.

Havemeyer, who went Into the coffee
business in 1896 upon hearing reports

upon the record in the government’s
dissolution suit against the so-called
sugar trust by Herman Sielkin, who
acted as Mr. Havemeyer’s chief lieu
tenant.

ment in November, 1896, and we talked
over the situation,” the witness said,
“He wanted a known brand of cof
fee to fight Arbuckle’s Ariosa and we
arranged to buy the stock of the Wool
son Spice company, makers of the
■Lion’ coffee, the next most popular
brand. Green coffee was selling then
at 9 cents a pound and roasted at
16.”
The witness said he purchased for
Mr. Havemeyer all the stock except 60
shares of the Woolson company at $1,
050 and $1,100. The Woolson com
pany was reorganized with Mr. Have
meyer and himself as directors and
himself as general manager. Through
the American Coffee company they

price down in 1898 to 8 cents for the
roasted product and 6 for green coffee,
and wiping out the profit on roasting
which had previously existed.
Although the Woolson company had
paid dividends of 100 per cent for
merly, he said, it began to lose money
in 1898. Until 1908 no dividends were
paid. In 1905 Mr. Havemeyer wanted
to get out of the Woolson company and

ALUMINUM CASE
DECREE IS ENTERED
Agreement Made As To Dispo
sition—First Time This
Course Is Taken.
Pittsburgh. Pa., June 8.—For the pur
pose of destroying the alleged sub
stantial monopoly of the so-called
aluminum trust, an agreed decree was
entered In the United States district
court here today against the Aluminum
Company of America. Following close
ly the action of the federal government
In Its civil anti-trust suit tiled a few
weeks ago, charging the corporation
with monopolizing the Industry, the
decree abrogates alleged unlawful con
tracts and restrains the defendant com
pany from negotiating similar pacts or
pursuing unfair methods towards com
petitors.
The decree was consented to by the
Aluminum Company of America as a
result of protracted negotiations with
Attorney General Wlckersham prior to
the filing of the suit. The mandate was
drawn and accepted by both the fed
eral government and defendant long
before the suit was begun. This Is the
first time a decree has been agreed on
under the Sherman law before court
proceedings had been started.
Combination Forbidden.
The company Is forbidden to partici
pate In any combination or agreement
to control the output or prices of alum
inum. It Is enjoined from combining
by stock ownership or otherwise with
other manufacturers for this purpose.
The decree places a long list of speci
fied unfair methods to competitors un
der the ban of the court.
Provisions of alleged agreements to
suppress competition between the
Aluminum company and the so-called
Swiss or Neuhausen company of Eur
ope, the General Chemical company,
the Norton company, the Pennsylvania
Salt Manufacturing company and Gus
tave A. Kruttschmltt and James C.
Coleman, both of Newark, N. J., are
abrogated by the decree.
Whenever It Is shown that substan
tial competition has arisen In the
aluminum industry the decree may be
modified on the production of evidence
that It Is working an Injustice. Appli
cation for modification however, can
not be made oftener than once In every
three years.
The decree was presented to the court
by Wm. T. Chantland, special assistant
to the attorney general, who devel
oped the government’s case and United
States Attorney Jordan, of Pittsburgh.

issue $136,307,000 in canal bonds at
once. That amount has already been
spent out of the general fund and by
the act of congress Is reimbursable by
bonds. The total cost of the water

Thousand Men Followed
By Disorder.
Boston, June 8.—Violence marked tht
beginning of a strike of several thous
and employes of the Boston elevated
railway at daylight. Those who re

roads were being operated on about
half time. Five arrests hav been made
for assaults on motormen.
Although the strike had been threat

ness and a clash that surprised not
only the company offlctals, but the po
lice of Boston, Brookline, Cambridge.
Somerville, Everett, Chelsea Medford
and Malden.
The men had been discussing the
matter nearly all night at a mass
meeting and as daylight was breaking,
It was decided to take a vote. As soon
as It was seen that those In favor of
going out were in the majority, the
gathering of nearly 2.000 men begun
cheering, and a rush was made for the
first eunly mornig cars.
First Car Is Attacked.
The first one was met on Tremont
street near the hall. The car was
stopped, the trolley yanked from the
wire, the windows smashed and the
motorman and conductor badly beaten.
A number of passengers were rushed
out of the car, although none was in
jured.
As the clash was proceeding, a mall
car suddenly came into sight, and rec
ognizing the authority of the govern
ment, those who had stopped the first
car suddenly ceased their activities and
permitted both cars to resume their
way.
A few minutes Inter, word of the
strike had reached the vicinity of the
north station and there two other cars
were stopped, windows smashed, some
of the gearing disabled and several
passengers were slightly Injured by fly
ing glass.
Several arrests were made at this
point.

In custody was charged with assnult
on a policeman and the other was
charged with Inciting a riot.
8ubw»y Car Held Up.
A dozen men rushed down Into tho
Cambridge subway as the first car was
about to start and tried to persuade
the train hands to Join them. They
were unsuccessful, but held up the
starting of the trains for nearly half an
hour. About the samo time four of the
new semi-convertible viaduct cars
were so badly smashed that the traffic
between Cambridge and Boston was
completely blocked for several hours.
The outbreak In Charleston was al
most as severe, while similar occur
rences took place In Everett and Chel
sea.
It was announced during the fore
noon that the actual vote In favor of a
strike was 1,389 to 8.
The strike committee claims that up
to the time of calling the strike today
3,200 men had signed union papers and
had paid Initiation fees. At the same
time the company Issued a statement
that 3,500 employes were still loyal and
that every effort would be made to
keep the car system In operation.

cars were running on nearly all lines,
but with about half the usual fre
quency.

WILSON FORGES WIN
FIRST DULUTH MOVE
John M. Freeman, of Olivia,
Named Temporary Chairman
Of Democratic Convention.
Puluth, Minn., June 7.—The con
vention here today promises to
be a battle. The Bryan and Clarlj
forces planned to make a stand against
the Wilson followers in efforts to send
24 delegates to Baltimore instructed fo»
the New Jersey governor. Part of thq
Bryan-Clark followers, declared thell
intention to attempt to prevent the re*
election of Fred B. Lynch, of St. Paul,
the Wilson candidate, for national
committeeman.
Wilson has the majority of the in
structed delegates. He carried every
district, but the Fourth and possibly
the First and Sixth, which is enough to
pass the unit rule if all his delegates
stand by him. There are but nine
districts. Each district was to select
two delegates to the national conven
tion and six were to be chosen at large.
But many of the Instructed Wilson
delegates and some of the uninstructed
ones who were said to favor him were
so strongly aligned with Bryan that It
was said they might refuse to put
through the unit rule. In the event
that it does carry, according to W. H,
Williams, Clark's state manager, the
fight will be carried to Baltimore.
Mention by Chairman Freeman of the
claims of W ilsen and Clark as candi
dates for the presidency brought cheer
ing, but it was weak as compared with
the outburst that greeted the name of
W. J. Bryan. The demonstration by ad
mirers of the Nebraskan lasted several
minutes.
