A Washington correspondent to California Outlook says: The Ore gon direct legislation case, which was appealed by the telephone com pany, will bo argued before the su premo court of tho United States In this session, and a decision Is ex pected soon. Tho appeal is based on the issue whether tho constitu tional amendment of Oregon, allow ing the people to initiate laws and to pass on laws framed by tho legis lature, Is contrary to the provision of the United States constitution that guarantees to every state in the union a republican form of govern ment. The courts of Oregon, includ ing the supreme court of that state, have decided in favor of the initia tive, and the supremo courts of many other states have given similar de cisions. As direct legislation pre vails now in ten states, and is in use in several hundred cities, if the United States court should rule against it, there would be a serious upsetting all along the line. Affairs in many California cities would be Jthrown in great confusion. The feeling against practical democracy or the rule of the people is very strong among politicians in the eastern states, and many legal authorities have argued against it. But if the supreme court should find against it, the effect will be most unfortunate on western public sentiment. ern railroad were not made defen dants in the suit, as neither had been represented at the conferences of the railroads where the "objection able 65 per cent contracts" were agreed upon. Ho added that neither was a stockholder in the Temple Iron company, by which the govern ment claims the Philadelphia & Reading, The Lehigh Valley, the Dela ware, Lackawanna & Western, the Central Railroad of New Jersey, the Brie and the New York, Susque hanna & Western railroad com panies, all entering the anthracite region, are held together in an il legal combination. The national association of railway commissioners met at Washington and refused to adopt a resolution favoring legislation abolishing the express companies of the country by compelling the railways to take over the express business. A general inquiry into the control by railway companies of the docking; wharfage -and pier facilities at vari ous ports of the Gulf of Mexico, Mis sissippi and Atlantic coast points, in cluding Galveston, New Orleans, Mo bile, Memphis, and Philadelphia, has been instituted by the interstate com merce commission.

Addroes ML ELDERS' S&KITABIUM, Dept. 248 St. Joseph, Ho. ' LVLT The United States supreme court "has taken under consideration the so-called "hard coal case" after a two day argument by counsel for tho government and for the principal railroads and coal-owning companies in the anthracite coal Tegions of Pennsylvania, charged with violating the Sherman anti-trust law. The main argument for the defendants was that it would be ideal to have the anthracite railroads and coal companies independent, but that close relationship between them was necessary because the Tailroads had I fn hnvp trmnnirfi nRnnrn-nno fn ronrmri- pense them for the expense of build ing into that region. James H. Torrey, for the defense, asked why the government had taken no action against independent opera tors who sold coal under 65 per cent contracts to coal companies, whose stocks were owned by the Pennsyl vania Railway coi-ipany and by the New York, Ontario & Western Rail road company. "If these coal companies are free to make contracts while the others are to be dobarred," said he, "It is conceivable that the result of this proceeding may be to increase largely the coal companies of the Pennsyl vania, New York, OntaTio & West ern and to shift the control of the anthracite market to persons other than tho principal defendants and who may be presumed to be actuated by like motives.." The closing argument for the gov ernment was made by J. C. McRey nolds, special assistant to tho attor ney general. Ho outlined tho relief A dispatch to the Richmond (Va.) Times-Dispatch says: A discrepancy of over $3,288,271 between the ma terial on hand and that called for by the books of the Washington navy yard, was shown by the inventory of that yard just completed, according to an announcement by Secretary of tho- Navy Meyer. This is the first inventory of record made at this yard within the last twenty-five years. The discrepancy is attributed to loose bookkeeping methods, which Secretary Meyer set out some time ago to correct. The Washington yard was the last to have the new accounting system established, the Boston, New Yorfi, Philadelphia, Portsmouth, N. H., Puget Sound, Mare Island, Charles ton, S. C, Cavite and Olongapo yards preceding Washington. The navy department officials stated explicitly that there was no indication whatever that moral tur pitude was involved in the discre pancy, and that It undoubtedly was duo to the antiquated bookkeeping methods. After serving in the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan., for 20 months, John R. Walsh, the former Chicago banker, was paroled by President Taft into the custody of his son. Walsh had been sentenced to a five year term. It is reported that the Japanese ambassador to Germany, Viscount Chinda will be transferred in Febru ary to Washington to succeed Visr count Uchida, who has returned to Tokio.
