P. ; .Morgan & Co.," is a sigmlflcant extract from a press notice sent' out by the Studebaker Automobile Co. " , It had ; been previously reported that : the came agency -was behind the abaorp- 1 tion of several other automobile con I cerns by a holding company organ! -' led under the New Jersey law. Is j there eventually to be a great auto I mobile trust which will, smother the Increasing competition? MAY ECLIPSE THE ROCKEFELLER FORTUNE "Collier's Weekly" is not deterred by the published threat of a libel suit by Secretary Ballinger from its self-imposed task of at tacking his record and official acts, but continues to amplify and reiterate its charges against him. The latest result therefrom is . the call of a special meeting of the Seattle Bar association to take action on charges of unprofessional conduct against Ballinger. Interesting and perhaps important points in this week's "Col . lier's," in connection with the Alaskan coal claims are: The coal has been tested on a U. S. vessel and : found to be - smokeless anthracite, a most valuable grade. -' ' The Cunningham claims are not the only attempt to absorb these valuable coal deposits, nor even the largest. What Is known as the White group, 80 in number, is larger than either of the other. -groups and, like the Cunningham claims, is said tobe in the Gug genheim interest. Its active manager is one Harry White who is " said to have managed the Taft campaign on the Pacific coast and who is also ..said to have predicted the appointment of Ballinger to the Interior department, with a radical change from the policy of Sec retary Garfield. White's partner is credited by "Collier's" with say ing that the White . claims would go to patent that is, the claims granted "under the smoke of the Cunningham claims unless Harry White had talked too much." ' The estimated profit from mining the coal on the Cunningham claims-is about $250,000,000. If the White group is still larger, the estimated profit from the two groups, both controlled by what "Col lier's" calls the. Morgan-Guggenheim" syndicate, must exceed a half billion. Indeed, the mammoth Rockefeller fortune seems in danger of being eclipsed, if the Alaskan coal fields finally reach the hands of the alleged syndicate. ' '" ' Perhaps the' most significant point of "Collier's" attack this - week ie the charge that at least two members of the . Senate com mittee now investigating the Ballinger case, are now or have been connected, . directly or indirectly, with the matter of the Alaskan coal claims.

Thus, it will fee to the interest of cold stor age ; men . to . completely clear their plants annually, : and It will not be practicable or profitable to add sur plus to surplus in order to cause more than the natural scarcity and to this reap abnormal profits.

DEACON BABY PILOT Stort: Alights on the One Hossf ;Shay and Leaves His Burden South; Norwalk, April 9. Deacon Thomas Frank Gilbert, of the Congre gational church, of the village of "Wil ton, . north of here, was ' called , upon yesterday afternoon to act in a prev iously unfilled capacity, that of Stork superintendent, when this thoughtless bird.' called upon Mrs. Nancy Veach as the deacon was driving her to her aome in his carriage, the station shay of the viuaire. So well did the deacon acquit him self that Mrs. Veach is now well and Iiappy, and so is her baby boy, al though no physician has been near theia. Mr, Gilbert and his shay had been summoned to transfer Mrs. Veach to the home of her parents, in South .Wilton. Hector, the deacon's well known horse, kept right on going while the stork was making his call, ana no time was lost in getting- to the, destination. "By Heck!" says Deacon Gilbert, as tie strokes his whiskers, Tve been pacifier in church squabbles, been first groom in a -splicin' act, druv the county Jedgeand have led the. Vir ginia reel, but this is the fust time I was ever called, upon to be baby pilot, by gosh!, :. The state board, composed of Free man F. ' Fatten, state treasurer, as chairman, Thomas D. Bradstreet, state controller, and' William H. Corbin, state tax . commissioner, had invited the oyster ' property -owners and na tural growthers of New Haven to meet them here. The board has al ready held similar meetings at Bridge port and South Norwalk on this mat ter Frank J. Mansfield, of the F. Mans field & Sons Company, said that the oysters growers -in New Haven were up against a hard proposition from the Board of Health in consequence of the requirements .-of that board, resulting from the alled pollution or tne nar- bor. ' F. W. Porter, a. large eastern oyster grower, said that there was no ODjec- tion to the increase of taxation if the board would only give . the growers pure water 'so that the growers could float their oysters, as has been for bidden by the Pure Food rules. Mr- .Corbin-said the interference with the present plan of the5 factories in this matter was likely to lead to a good deal, of trouble. F. J. Ueardsley, a Bridgeport grow er, showed that his firm had Deen obliged to send oysters to Rhode Is land in order to protect them and quoted the law there which prevents pollution of streams.. He said .Jn closing: ioa Almighty put the rivers here, and the thing to do is to stop dumping sewerage into them. ' This board can , make recom mendation that the state clear up con tamination of streams." - Mr. Mansfield said that the. practice of "floating" was very necessary in order to clear them from mud. It has been prohibited by the local board of health. Senator Luzerne Lu ding-ton told how the Quinnipac river has been injured by the discharge - of sewerage. Judge Mathewson, formerly of the Shell Fish Commission, was called upon next and he said that there was no question that the oystermen could sue the city for dam age to their beds, but the men of course dislike to exploit their -business in this way. "Consequently the atate Board of Health should compel every city and village to stop dump ing their sewerage into the harbor or even Into the sound Every city should do as Meriden is doing, look o.ut for its "own sewerage. There is a law on the books to make the citv responsible but the individual oyster men do not wish to ruin their busi ness by making itso." He added that in a trial of pollu tion cases against the city by the oys ter men, it might finally require an injunction to determine the exact sit uation in the - matter, but that this could not be done under the present laws. There were a number of additional speakers. - , Extracts from Roman Methodist Or gans, Showing the Nature of the 1 ' Methodist Campaign. In Rome .Why Archbishop Ireland Calls Tliem Pernicious -' Proselyters." Archbishop Ireland recently stated that "American Methodists in Rome are active and, I may readily eay, pernicious proselyters." Methodist Bishop McDowell replied by stating that the' Archbishop "has no more cause for such statements than we in America have to denounce the Paulist Fathers and other organi zations of the Catholic church which exist here." "Extension Magazine", official organ of the Catholic Church Extension So cietv of the TJ. S.. tells why "non-rec ognition of, and non-affiliation with the Methodists in Rome is an indis pensable sine qua non for an an audi ence with the rope." "Hi'Evangelista" is the title of the official organ of the Methodists in Rome. In September, 19090, it published a cartoon representing Christ with a scourge in His hand, pointing to the inscription, "Reenum meum non- est de hoc mundo" (My 'Kingdom is not of this world), while the Pope, cower. ing, rushes in terror down the steps, on which are scattered the triregno, miter, thurible and other sacred ves sels. In the same issue,. L'Evangelista said: . . - "The clergy represent Christ just as " much as Harlequin represents Italy! -That is the Italian mask, not Italy, as clericalism is the mask of Christ, not Christianity! The clergy is the protossido critianico, the cor,. ruption of Christianity! The priest represents the Pope, and Popery is the rust which has corrdded the ,Gos- oel for centuries." (Cenni Storici della Chiesa Methodista jjdipiscopaie.) ; Methodism has found in Italy the center and hotbed of Popery, and, therefore, has been obliged to strug gle against terrible political, economic, ecclesiastic and moral obstacles, which are all personified in the Papacy. ethod'ism has fouMnd in Italy the greatest center of that desolate incre dulity, that glacial indifference, which according to Macchiavelli are the influence of the Pontifical Church and Court. Universal . -Methodism has found in Italy the most excellent opportunity of knowing the evil arts, the frauds, the frightful 'efficacy of error, 'the hor rible miracles of lying,' of the great enemy of Christ: the Vatican! Oh! if Methodism would only treasure these salutary experiences. . . . Instead of being a more or less gen uine form of Christianity, Popery is the most barefaced and abominable negation of the principles and moral of the Gospel The D, M. Read, (Do Established 1857.
