TlliLAiJEXFHlA, April 11 Tha cloaing
sessions of the annual meeting of tba Amer
ican Academy of Political and Boclal
Bolenc were held In the afternoon and last
night, at which th question "Tha nation
and tha railway" and "Tha federal and
the Kate oontrol of corporation" were dis
cussed by men who hold opposite opinion
concerning federal control of corporation.
Among the apeaker at tonight' aesslon
were .Congressmen Burton of Ohio, John
Bhara .William of Mtaalaalppl and Jame
I Blaydon of Texas; United State Cir
cuit Judge C. II. Hough of New York and
Henry.. M. Hoyt, solicitor general of the
t Vriltcft Ytatr,' Washington. D. C.
'.' judge Hough, who wa the flrat apeaker,
we followed by Congressman John Sharp
William, -who spoke on "Federal Usurpa
tion." He' said that So far as ha could
read or had heard, all governments, whether
free or not. have existed and fallen, by
wefght' of political machinery.
"There has come a time In their hls-
'tory,'' he ald, ''when government and lta
machinery were the flrat consideration and
man, hi Individuality the support of gov
ernmentthe second. In a certain senae the
federal government Is not the government
or these- United Statea at all, but Is a
piece "of central machinery organised to
hold together In union tha several govern
ment of tha several state and protect
them by union from mutual aggression and
from aggression 'from foreign powers. Fed
eral usurpation of power Is not a recent
growth. It was a receasary concomitant
of the rule of the old federalists."
Isarpatiaae Baaed oa Necessity.
''Every governmental abuse," continued
Mr. Williams, "la baaed upon aom plea
or pretext and the usurpation of power by
government Js generally baaed upon 'neces
sity,' the tyrant jlea. Thl real usurpa
tion, out of necessity, grow out of war.
Thl ha teen especially true with regard
ti legislative and exeoutlva usurpation by
our federal government."
Mr. WHllama said that what has been
actually accomplished by legislation regu
lating or pretending to regulate interstate
i ore, mere Is netting compared to what 1
proposed.
He numerated"; soora or more of meas
ure pending' In congress looking toward
federal. control of public act and policies
In the various states, such for instance, as
a ehjld labor law, reforestation to preserve
stream fupply, etq.i and while conceding
the - excellence of.J.the- physical alms, he
condemned the measures asetng attempted
usurps ttfen, of t ate right by the general
Covermaanb ; .'..v, -'. ; '
Stat a4 National Valta.
lltprcaenUtiv jRUrtoi' discussed the state
and nation's' unit ,o control. He dwelt
upon th tendency -oward tha cantrallaa
tlon off jower At). th national government
and concluded: fc follows:- .
"The tendenele ara not without their
danger. A,A, av. general rule government
Is "efficient In that proportion In which
Its agencies, are controlled, by those fa
miliar with the situation and In Imme
diate touch with the work to be don
or tha law to be enforced. States have
their own Individualities and tradition,
too, and should be entruated -with their
proper share Of responsibility, else theae
valuable units in the body polltlo may
not accomplish that which they are cap
able of accomplishing. It would be
rational to leave to tha central govern
ment " such ? enterprises and ' agencies aa
'are eeaefiflally interstate, such as great
railway system. Ttese require the con
. trol ' of. the . central , government because
proper; development 1 impossible under
the separate policies and Interests of a
. variety of statea. ' . ,
. "The., question .of the boundary line be
tween state and national authority will
be determined, In .the future largely by
the states themselvaa. Vnera need l&e no
fear . of . usurpation on tha part of the
federal, government. Ita activities will
be extended only when central control la
the batter er local control haa failed to
met'the situation.",

DOWN WITH, THE BILLBOARDS
Caaamanltlee Assail the Evil In VaH-
Prasrm,
roster maids In Newark, N. J., must
have at least a normal sense of modesty
and decency. And their companions of the
billboard, the "heroes" who slay the "vil
lains" while the "heroine" faint, must
quit It.
This Is the decree of common council,
which has appointed a committee of three
aldermen to act as censor of the morals
of the posters and billboards. Thus far the
committee's work haa been limited to pass
ing upon theater advertising, but It scope
will be extended to cover all billboard
advertising as well as that displayed In
saloons and other windows.
With the promised support of Mayor
Tom Johnson, the Chamber of Commerce,
which Is affiliated with, tha American
Civic association, haa Inaugurated a vigor
ous campaign against the billboard In
Cleveland. Like many other cities. Cleve
land Is being sacrificed to the billboard
advertiser.
Appeal will be made by tha Chamber of
Commerce's special committee of twenty
one, which Is to Include prominent busi
ness -men, to the billboard concerns. If
this fall property owner will be requested
not to allow their property to bo used.
In addition, state legislation will be pro
posed. Regulation of billboards and the obtain
ing of revenues ar tha objects of two
bills prepared by Supervisor Murphy In
San Francisco. While the ordinances are
dealgned primarily to Insure safety, Super
Visor Murphy calculate that enforcement
of taxation will net the city between $12,000
and $15,000 a year.
This estimate of receipts is based upon
the extensive display of billboards In tha
burned portion of the city and the outlying
districts.
After an experiment In billboard adver
tising which continued for five or six years,
the American Tobacco company has re
turned to newspaper advertising. This
company, which devoted most -of Ita bill
board space to advertising certain smok
ing tobaccos, spent $1,260,000 a year upon
the billboards, which amount will be spent
hereafter In newspapers and magaslnes.
As a result of tha ordinance Imposing
a tax upon billboards, the city of Los
Angeles received $2,393.11 for the last year
from one advertising concern. Billboards
promoters are required to file quarterly
statements of the amount of spaca In use,
and tha city also has an Inspector to see
that the provisions are obeyed.
In tha fight against the obnxlous bill
board In the "home", section of Tacoma,
tha North End Improvement club haa won.
As a result the. local blllposting company
haa declared It, "willingness" to accept
the club' proposition, which Include the
removal of all such . boards north of
Division avenue,, which I the residential
section, ' and also an agreement to erect
ho new boards.
That tha cltisens of BaJt Lake City should
act to abolish the billboarda was the
opinion given by Orson Hewlett, vice presi
dent of the Salt Lake Improvement league,
which la affiliated with the American Clvla
association. Mr. Hewlett referred to two
billboards that had beon erected opposite
two handsome church edifices, compelling
worshipers to submit to-an Interruption of
their thought hy ugly signs proclaiming the
merits of certain branda of beer, whisky
and corsets.
Mr. Hewlett declared that the billboards
of the city afford a hiding place for the
practice of other .nuisances, and that
at night they give an advantage to crimi
nals, especially In the outlying portions of
the city. He advocated taxation and sug
gested that, at moat, tha sign, ought to be
limited to the business district.

music halls for years.
Sandy, a this collie la called for short
is the pride of William B. (Reeve, proprietor
of the Hotel Hastings. Among the dog's
accomplishment are singing and playing
mo piano. jut na win never show off his
musical ability except for pay. He does
not exact much a lump of sugar or a
sweet cracker-but the dainty must be
shown him before he will seat himself on
tne piano stool, pound the key until he
receives a sign that he may cease and ob
tain hi reward.
If anybody the dog knows shows him
any article and then goea away, leaving
tne dog behind, and hides It on any one of
the four floors of the hotel, Sandy will find
It unless to do so he encounter a closed
door.
Sandy recognixes Instantly every one of
the hundred patron of the hotel. When a
stranger enter he will moet him and escort
him, sniffing suspiciously at hi leg, until
the man has been conveyed Into the pres
ence of the clerk or his master.
Study of the telephone Is now occupying
the collie' attention. When It rings, if
nobody is near, Sandy will rush off and
find his master. Then he will sink his
teeth In Mr. Reeve' coat sleeve and lead
htm to the telephone., That the dog has
tried to take down tho receiver himself at
various times Is proved by the mark It
bears of hi teeth.
Sandy will march on hi hind leg at ths
word of command. Standing thu, he Is at
tall as the average man. He Is as playful
as a puppy, although nearly 2 years old
Last April he was Chasing a ball on ths
roof of the hotel.. It .went over the edge
and Sandy had such momentum that he
went over after It. To the ground and cob
ble stone was fifty feet. Half way down
was a telephone wire, which caught under
Sandy's left leg, breaking the fall, but
wrenching the leg Beverly. The dog fell
tho rest of the way and waa picked up for
dead. A veterinary soon restored and ban
daged him. but he was not himself for
three months, and atlli limp slightly. When
confined to his bed Sandy would cry like a
child until ome on of his many friends
wa with him constantly.
Sandy' grandfather waa Bonnie Scott, a

FINDS SUBSTITUTE FOR WOOD
Make Boards of Refose Asbesto that
Vmn BO lot with Carpea
ter'a Tools.
Prof,, Charles L. Norton associate pro
fessor of heat measurement at the Massa
chusetts ' Institute 'Wf "Technology, haa
worked out a method of u mixing the waste
from asbestos mines and has Invented a
new fire-proof ' material called "asbestos
wood."
For a long time there has been mined In
the province ot Quebec the mineral as
bestos, which, as generally known. Is a
sort of fibrous rock. This has been used
for making asDestos Cloth, paper and a
great many articles, such as packings for
steam engines, gaskets, and has been used
wherever flexible or fibrous material was
wanted which would resist the action of
heat.
In getting out of the ground and prepar
ing for market the longer fiber there has
been hitherto large waste and a great ac
cumulation of short fiber, so that "dumps,"
as they are oalled, from the asbestos mines
extend over great area and have become a
great nuisance and expense.
This condition of things came to the
notice of Prof. Norton of the physical de
partment while attempting to mak a fire
proof substitute for wood, and he has suc
ceeded In making from this refuse asbestos
a substance which haa been called "as
bestos wood."
The new substance possesses the proper
ties of wood to a certain extent, for In
stance, In that It can be sawed, planed and
drilled with the same tool aa wood and
worked at the same speed. A to It phy
sical properties It Is gray In color, weigh
to to 75 per cent mora than the softer
woods, but not much more than oak and
about one-half aa much aa slate, the
weight of an Inch board 12x11 Inches being
about eight pounds.
Its strength under transverse loads is
about three-fifths that of white pine, but
the asbestos wood, having no . knots or
shakes and having also the same strength
In both directions, there being no grain, has
for many purpose quite as effective
strength aa ordinary wood. When exposed
to high temperatures It does not burn, but
loses a portion of Its strength. It warps
slightly If unequally heated until the tem
perature well above red heat is reached. At
very high temperatures Its strength be
come markedly less than usual.
At present the material Is being made in
sheets and boards. Doors, window frames.
sheathing, floors and similar portions of
ordinary structures can be made from the
material, which can be nailed, screwed and
varnished a In the case Of wood. Boston
