C, Nov. 7. A final contest over the interpre tation of the Sherman anti-trust law as a criminal measure, began in earnest to-day in the Supreme Court of the United States last Saturday. Noted lawyers filed with the court a brief in support of the holding by the United States Circuit Court for the Southern district of New York, fthat the statute of limitations prevened the prosecution of , Gustav E. Kissel, of New York, under an indictment, charging him, together with the American Sugar Refining Company and others, with conspiracy to drive the Pennsylvania Sugar . Re fining Company out of business, in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. The Federal Government had al ready filed a brief in support of the indictment. It was prepared by the Solicitor General Bowers, just be fort his death, but not submitted to the court until several weeks later. Oral argument of the case has been set for to-day.

The mines are located at Tuscaloosa County, 1 A1 30 miles Eoutll of Birmingham, j Chief State Mine Inspector James Hillhouse and his two assistants are on the scene. The bodies of the vic tims have been taken out of the mine. In the event of a hostile attacK on foreigners at Ampala, Honduras, ? it is not anticipated in Washington, that the United States gunboat Princeton will find it necessary to shell the town. Instead, Commander Hayes probably will send marines ashore to take Jose Valladares, the revolutionary leader, into custody, which act, it is believed would end j Isthmus the President will come 1 ashore at Charleston the night of November 22. He will proceed to Richmond, Va., by train and make an address before the Virginia School Teachers Association in that city November 23. The President will be back in Washington the evening of the 23rd. Bronzed hjr the suns of many lands, Jacob M. Dickinson, Secretary of War, reached Washington Monday night after a globe-girdling journey extending over more than three months. His party, which included Mrs. Dickinson, were met at the sta tion by Major-General Leonard Wood, Chief of Staff . of "the Army, and other attaches of the War De partment. The Secretary declined to discuss his trip around the 'world. Postal receipts for the fiscal year ended on June 30, were $224,128. 657.62, an increase of ten per cent over last year. More than one-half that enormous sum was collected in six states New York, Illinois, Penn sylvania, .Ohio, Massachusetts and Missouri, the total collections of each state ranging in the order named. The New York postoffice collected ten per cent of all the receipts and Chicago came next with eight per cent. Retirement with pay for old gov ernment clerks is recommended to the Secretary of the. Treasury by M. O. Chance, auditor of the Postoffice Department, in his annual report. He declares an unusually large proportion of the employes of his of fice have passed , their usefulness, and that the average of efficiency among them is below the standard. Both they and the service, he de clares, would he better off if their places were filled by younger men. POSTAGE PLAN EXPLAINED. Certain Class of Publications Will be Eliminated From Increase. Washington, D. C, November 7. Postmaster General Hitchcock's plan of requiring the magazines to pay increased postage on their ad vertising pages sufficient to elimi nate, postal deficits and warrant, in the near future, one cent postage on first-class mail, has been officially ex plained. Postmaster General Hitchcock'he Heves that In carrying on the admin istration's purpose to accomplish reasonable Increase in the-postage rates on certain kinds of second-class mail a distinction should be made between advertising and what is termed reading matter. He does favor under present conditions an in crease in the rates of postage for' car rying reading matter. Any increase thus applied, he points out, will I place a tpUl burden a large? I&aaber of second-class publication ueh a educations and reilflous p riodlcalf, that derive little or no rofll from rtls:n. l ! Xi lhe IJ1. lht soreraracav ran bt afford to cucourajre. For thea publications and also for any Proposed Increase In rate he applied , only to magazine advertising matter. , POSTAL SAVINGS BAXKS. Remains to Be Done Before System is Well Established. Washington. Nov. 8. While the location of the first postal savings bank, one In each State and Terri tory, have been chosen, and It Is probable that the banks will be open ed at the beginning of 1911, much work remains to be done In the de velopment of the system, according to one of the trustees. A problem that is taxing the trus tees and the solution of which Is awaited with great Interest by bank ers concerns the deposit of postal funds in banks. The law provides that 65 Der cent of the funds, "shall S be deposited in solvent banks, wheth- j pr organized under National or State I iaws, being subject to National or j State supervision and examinations." ' The word "banks" includes savings; .hanks and trust comoanies. The solvency of National banks ; will probably be determined by the. examiners. The best method for as- certaining the condition of other banks has not been determined. One, plan suggested provides for the co-1 operation of the comptroller or some other governmental departments. There are many bankers who are anxious that the method for deter- j mining the question of solvency shall j be thorough and guarded to protect j impartially the interests of all j banks. Unless that is done, they i fear that some future board of trus- j tees may possibly make the power to I decide as to solvency a basis for favoritism in the distribution of pos- I tal bank funds. To Control Rice Markets. New Orleans, Nov. 8. South Car- olina, next to Louisiana, the biggest riCe growing State in the Union, has joined hands with Louisiana and nffifora rf the rofontlv fnrmeH Smith. em Rice Growers Association that South Carolina would join the farm ers' movement and would be repre sented at the next meeting of the association. Ex-Governor Heyward owns ex tensive rice lands in Colleton Coun ty, South Carolina, and has taken an active interest in similar movements of farmers' organizations. , ' Ex-Governor Heyward is a rice planter of extensive operations. His plantations on the Combalee are models. At the time when he was elected Governor, he was living at Walterboro and giving his attention chiefly to his rice crops. He had never held a political office. Gover nor Heyward is a strong believer in organization and the diffusion of modern scientific information among the rice growers and to this end he has done much, in co-operation with Mr. Samuel G. Stoney, of Charleston, and others. Since his removal from Columbia he has made his home in Charleston, his resfdence being situ ated on Meeting Street, near the Bat tery, Uncle Sam is There. Washington, D. C, Nov. 7. Amer ican interests at Amapala, Honduras, during the next "few days will be in the care of the United States gunboat Yorktown, which arrived at that port to-day to relieve the Princeton and watch developments in the conten tion between President Davaila and General Calladare for control of the garrison at Amapala. This informa tion was received at the Navy De partment to-day from Commander Hayes, of the Princeton, which now has sailed for Panama for coal. The Princeton will return immediately to join the Yorktown at Amapala and both vessels will remain at the Hon duran port until the situation is solved. Commander Hayes made no refer ence to any change In conditions at Amapala. The latest report received at the State Department from United States Minister McCreery, at Tegu cigala, said that General Valladares was still holding the garrison and the situation was unchanged.

T.-FoUowlng the r fusal of the German Government to accede to the proposal of Use tnlteJ ctate on the potash dltpute. the commission representing the Ameri can potah interest, to-day issued a statement on the subject- The statement, which Is signed by Charles H. MacDow;i. Charles Hen ry Dempwoif: James A. Moncure and Benjamin 11. Brewster, ...refers to the acUon of the German Govern ment as "a dangerous step In later national commercial relations," and declares that the competing group of mines is thereby prevented from sell ing at a materially lower price than the svmdlcate. of which the Prussian cinv.rnrnATt ltftif ts a. member. It asserts also that the failure to reach an agreement stops the fulfillment of contract obligations. "The law passed by the German OoTirnment " continues the state ment, "has been so contrived that it applies only to American contracts. and those contracts are largely with mines owned by Americans. The law was framed, as Americans were in formed, by -members of the German syndicate, to force either cancella tion of the contracts or their repu diation. "The American Government pro tested against the bill owing to its unconcealed effect and received Ger man official assurances that the law would in no way Invalidate or Impair American contracts. This Is what has happened: Goods costing $20 a ton in the United States are taxed $22 alone, making the cost to American buyer. $42, while the German potash syndi cate sells in the United States at $30 a ton. "ine tax, it pam, win cost Amer-t0; -)i0gy, and the State i ican contractors and the ultimate Agriculture, as well an consumers more than $G,000,000 afarmc(rs anj reprcsentath . year for seven years, besides placing; ilncs Gf business most clo -. the German syndicate in full control of American soil fertility and of ex plosives and chemicals as far as they are affected by potash." State Department Informed. Washington, Nov. 7. The State Department was officially advised to day of the failure of potash nebotia tions in a cablegram from Ambassa dor Hill and Commercial Adviser Davis. The latter, the dispatch add ed, would leave at once for Vienna, to consider certain trade relations with Austria. No definite decision will be reach ed by this Government in the Ger man controversy until the return to Washington of Secretary Knox, when the whole matter will be laid before him. The Secretary is expected back to-morrow after casting his vote in Pittsburg. . The situation is regarded by de partment officials as delicate and their view of its eriousness is reflect ed in the reserve in which they discussed the matter pending the re turn of Secretary Knox. ' . Engineers to Vote a Strike. Chicago, 111., Nov. 7. A strike vote will be taken among the engin eers of sixty-one railroads west, south and north Chicago, Includ ing the Illinois Central, following the termination to-day between the roads and grand officers of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engin eers, which had been in session since September 26th. Difference in wage increases of approximately 7 per cent, and alteration of working con ditions, stood between the negotia tors. Grand Chief Warren S. Stone, of the Brotherhood, who has been lead ing the railroad men in their de-t mands, said to-day he believed the strike vote would be unanimously in favor of suspension of work, and that the . enginemen would have ex pressed their desire December 10th. Immediately thereafter, he said, a last opportunity would be given the railroads to meet the workers, and if they ignored that opportunity, within five hours every engine west of Chicago, on all branches of ser vice, would he stilled. Postal Savings Banks Will Open on January 1st. Washington, Nov. 8. According to Information given out at the postof fice department today the postal sav ings banks will not begin business be fore January 1, 1911. In the mean time the postmasters In the 48 cities where the banks are to open will be instructed In the first principles of banking. It is believed by officials that this delay will result In starting the postal banks without friction, and produce good results. Also that the beginning of the New Year will he an incentive to the public to open savings accounts with Uncle Sam. Summer Capitol at Beverly. Harrishurg, Pa., Not. 7.
