.: Washing ihn; June 9 Legislation to
rep'aee the Sherman anti-trust law so"
- as to protect property interests and the
peapto'a welfare alike was urged by E.
H. Gary, chairman of the board of di
rectors of the United States Steel Cor-
O peration, in concluding his testimony
before the Bouse so-called ''steel-trust"
investigating committee.' Judge' Gary
said he hoped the committee in its re

the United States Steel Corporation
. what the committee thinks oughtf to be
-- the corporation's standing, under the
law. ;:-'r.: 'n.t-r

its influence to bring about the enact-

v. properly protect the property interests
: of the country, the interests of thegov
J, ernraent and the people at large, so as
to permit us to continue business prog
ress along lines of prosperity, f ;v 'i
"Constructive legislation is what is
needed in this country if we are to re

s. peting nations of the world."'-
"Would you , believe it sensible, "
asked , representativa Littleton, "tq
have Congress appoint a joint commit
tee to hear representatives of capital
and labor and of so-called restrained
and unrestrained trade with a view' to
preparing an anti trust law which would
- correct features of the Sherman law or
errors that might have come through
court'dttcisions on that law, ' an I to
strength an and elaborate that law?"
"Yes,. I do," responded Mr. Gary,
: "and I would be glad to have such an
undertaking result in something more
practical and to be the first one to fall
-into line to live up to such a law.

"Washingtort-June 9. -"Represent ati ve
David J. Lewis otJ Maryland, has in
troduced a bill to aid thf express com
panies to the post office system, and
proposes to thus reduce -the rate over
one half on small packages and about
one-third generally, end to extend tie
system to the country districts through
rural delivery.. :': -:, "vV-it V'-''
"There are two main reasons," said
Mr. Lewis, "why postal express is nec
essary. First, the' express company
service does not nach the country 'and
the farmers; and second,' the contracts
of the express' companies give them an
average rateW three-quarters of a cent
a pound on parcels with the railways,
while the government lis paying the
railway 4 cents a pound for carrying
mail. In order to get this comparative
ly cheap transportation rate for the
carriage of parcels, I propose that the
express companies' contract with the
railways be acquired by condemnation.'
Mr, Lewis said that the express com
panies have been making over 60 per
cent, on the capital actually invested,
but at that give no service to the mil
lion of farmers of America. The rural
free delivery ought to be a part of the
express system, and when this bill be
comes law we shall have an agricult
ural parcels post, which will market the
farmers' produce and save them the
time and labor of marketing their truck.
Rates even lower than those quoted are
promised, by having the rural and city
carriers assemble the small consign,
rnents of the individual shippers, and
utilize the fast freight service on trunk
lines, with passenger trains on branch
roads to hurry the stuff to destination,
t the regular fast freight rates. -

; . Mexican Eji-th quake.
New York, June 9 The earthquake
in Mexico was almost instantaneously
felt in New York and all over the world
Theoretically, the shock went directly
through the globe to the places on the
other aide quicker than it went around
by way of the surface, hut the differ
ence in time was too small to be no-
txed.
In this city the Beiamoeraph at Ford-
ham University in the' Bronx recorded
the beginning of the qua'ie at 6:11. arm.
The tremors were so, violent at Al
bany,' N. Y., after travelling a distance
of 2.600 miles; that the recording pen
was thrown off the drum of the seismo
graph at the State Museum.
At Washington, 2,100 miles from
Mexico, it was 5:06 a, m. when the
needles of the seismographs of George
town University Observatory began to
move, he tremors steadily increased
in intensity, causing the needles to re
cord an unusual vibration. The maxi
mum of the north and south movement
lasted ten minutes. Gradually the tre
mors subsided and died away at 7:51
o'clock, after one hour and forty-one
minutes,
At New Orleans, the Loyola College
observer noted the most violent move
ments of the seismograph ever recorded
in that locality.
.The earthquake began to be recorded
on the Harvary University seismograph
at Cambridge, 2.760 miles from Mexico
City at 6.09.39 a. m., und the second
preliminary motion was recorded at
6.15,48. The main wave came in at
6..26.01
The instruments at the State Univer
sity at Lawrence, Kan., 1,5(10 miles from
the centre of tho quake were violently
affected. '.
At Cleve'and, O., 2,0M miles', the seis
olograph of St. Ignatius College record

disaster. The seismograjih at West

School consisting of Messrs. D. P.
Whit ford, H. A Marshall, M. D. Lane,
W. E. Moore, Clyde Morton, A. D.
Ward, S. M. Brinson, O. H.Wethering
ton and Thomas Arnold, met at the
court house in this city for the purpose
of opening the bids for that institution
that were tendered by the different
townships. - After three hours of dis
cussion the Board voted to leave their
decision open until August 8th, 1911 at
12 o'clock, at which time the site for
it. i -n u. . i . i
the scho )l will be selected.
Mr. K. M. Green stated to the Board
toat on acctunt of some misunderstand
ing and delay that the8th Township
had failed to secure enough names to a
petition that was to have been present
ed the Board of county Commissioners
at their last meeting asking them that
they call an election for the purpose of
voting on an issue of $25.( 00 to be used
in building this and that this Township
would like to have the final decision of
the Board postponed until such a time
as would allow them time to Ret out
among the people and secure enough
names to this petition to have it car
ried. Mr. D. V. Richardson, of No. 2 Town
ship then took the floor and sUtel that
the other Townships in the county were
bitterly opposed to such an action, that
(hey did not think that this school
should be established in the 8th, Town
ship and that as they had had as much
time as any of the other Townships he
wantsd the bids that had been given in
opened and the decision rendered at
once and that such was the request of
every voter in his Township, He said
that when the Farm-Life . School pro
ject was being abated in the county
and lectures weie being made in its
behalf it was generally understood that
the school would not be located in the
8th. Township and en that aaount it
was unanimously voted for by the coun
try people,
' Speaking in behalf of the 8th, Town
ship Mr. Jas, A , Bryan raid that the
committee who had been placed in
charge of the election had not had suf
ficient time to secure en ugh mines to
the petition and that he would Jike for
the Board to defer their decision until
some other time so tbat this committee
could have sufficient time to'getja'odnd
among th people and secure their
names fo the. petition. He then went
on to till what advantages the, schqpl
would live if located in this Township
He sajf tbat if it was located here it
woula be righ tin the centere of tha en
tire county where it would be acbessible
to every resident in the( county who
wished to- send his or ner cnnarcn to
this school. . He said that if it was lo
cated in sonfe other pla:e thittbe.pu-
pi's would not have the advantage of
attending lecture, church services, etc.
that they would have if they were nt ir
this city.; Ha stated that the city of
New Bern paid 5 8 of the taxes of this
county and that the 8. h, Township paid
6-8 of the I axes of this county and that
in his estimation thoe who paid out
the most , money for this institution
should have sortie voice, in its location.
He alo said that if the school was lo
cated in uome other Township it would
hdvea'tendency to tae tradV away
freti this'counfy and carry it to aome
other county and that if the people Of
Craven county had to pay the expenses
of this school they should reap the ad
vantages (much applause ) i
. Mr. J. L. Bland, of No. 1 Township,
said that his objvlion to having the
scnool located in the 8th, Township was
that if the country bays attended it and
were allowed to get too near Mew, Bern
thaiLwould be Inoculated .with, .what is
