March 7.— Andrew Carnegie discussed "the future life" in an interview just before his departure today for Del Monte, where he will , stay a few days with Mrs. Carnegie and his daughter, Margaret, before go ing- to San Francisco on Friday to speak at a banquet of the chamber of commerce to be given ; in his honor .Saturday night. ; » Carnegie will leave San Monday on the valley line for Pasadena, where he will inspect the Carnegie ob servatory on Mount Wijson, and remain one week, returning then via the Grand canyon to Pitusburg and Xew York.' DISAPPItOVES OF SYMPOSIUM "I highly disapprove of the recent ut terances upon 'The Future LJfe,' " said he, referring to a symposium by Henry James, W. I). Howells and others. "I was asked to contribute to that series, but refused. My great teacfaer on that subject is Plato, who describes vividly what was then thought would happen after death, and then said that to affirm that all these things would take place just as he had recorded them would not become a man of sense, but that we should cherish the idea of Immortality, alluring ourselves as with enchantments, as the reward, is noble and the hope is great. '•Our duties lie in this world and the man who performs them has nothing to fear hereafter. It is too bad to say anything to shatter the hope of any man or woman who prays that their faith In the future life may be strength ened." Carnegie said that ,the world no longer believed in a God who told us to love our enemies, while damning his own. CRITICISES OM> TESTAMENT "The Old Testament was written by ignorant old Jews who described God as they saw him." \ Carnegie declared that any break between Roosevelt and Taft because of the Plnchot matter is out of the ques tion. He said: "Pin<rtiot is well meaning, zealous and self-sacrificing: a fine type. We need more like him, but he is .inclined to walk so straight sometimes as to lean over backward. He doesn't seem to have much of the give and take." USEKLI- AS CITIZEN. Carne^gie predicted that Roosevelt would not become speaker of the house or accept any other office. He could be more useful as a private citizen, he said. Carnegie ; . declared he had often considered an endowed newspaper as advocated by Professor Ross of the "Wisconsin university in a recent article. He said he had turned it down, as no one would u*>ad an endowed paper. v "The element of personality in a paper is too important. If I went Into newspaper work I should own and- edit my own paper," he declared. . COMMISSION IS TWICE OVERRULED Supreme Court Annuls Portland Gateway Order and Branch Connection Decision — WASHINGTON, March 7. — Twice to day the supreme court of the "United States annulled important orders of the interstate commerce commission be cause the commission had exceeded its authority. One of the orders required the North ern Pacific railway to join with com peting roads to establish a through route and Joint rates from the east to Puget sound points, via Portland, Ore. \u25a0 The other order required the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad to grant a physical connec tion with the Rahway Valley railroad company at Summit, N. J. The court held that the Northern Pacific already maintained "a satisfac tory or reasonable route' 1 from the east to Puget sound points, and as long as such a route was in existence the com mission could, not require the road »to join in another route. The court took the position that climate, scenery and a desire to visit along the routes south of the Northern Pacific did not make the latter's route "unsatisfactory or unreasonable," and to hold otherwise would be to give an artificial meaning to the words of the statute. :':.%> "The condition In the statute is not to be trifled with," said Justice Holmes, In announcing the opinion of the court. In the other case it -was held that the commission did not have power to require a railroad to grant a connec tion with a branch railroad upon com plaint of the branch, railroad itself. The court refrained from deciding what was a branch railroad, one of the points in the case. ?\u25a0•"/':* ACCUSES MOTHER OF MANIPULATING ESTATE Son Fights : Parent's Attempt to Administer Property William Long McClellan, who is con testing the petition of his mother, Mrs. Olivia McClellan, for letters of adminis tration ove^r the estate of her.late husband, William S.

Other changes were ordered^bearing on the question of -whether one ; .-line shall be permitted to exercise control over another . line. The provision "to allow a railroad now leasing another line for 20 years or more to renew that lease or to acquire the reversionary ownership of the .lesser company was eliminated. An- amendment. was adopt ed prohibiting a director of one line from becoming a' director, of com peting line. . •> ' ,'•\u25a0 Another amendment which had. been inserted in the administration bill by the senate committee to broaden the scope of competition so' as to make, it still more difficult for one. road to own stock or exercise control of. a com peting line wag adopted by, the house committee. The provision exempting street, suburban or Interurban electric lines from the prohibition against a railroad having an interest in. a com peting line also was stricken out.' Next to the" recent retention of the court of commerce feature and; the in clusion of water transportation com panies in the scope of. the bili,' the action today constituted the most im portant step in the house committee's remodeling of the measure. In its original state the bill was the principal- feature of President Taft's legislative program. An effort was made to report the bill without amend ment, as was done in the senate.' Now that the way has been opened it is 'not impossible that other alterations will be made. . • Gossip of Railwaymen A MORE disappointed quartet has not been seen for several months than that comprising W. 12 Cal hoon, chief clerk for S.

P., SAYS BANKER Claims Harriman Purchasedrthe tompeting Road to Safeguard Strategic^Positiori Otto Kahn Testifies in Govern ment's Suit to Dissolve Railroad Merger /SEW YORK, March l)— Otto' H. Kahn of the firm of Kuhn, Libeb&fCo., bankers for the late H. Harriman; defined today on the witness stand the limits nature has setupon central ized finance. . - . "When an. aggregation of .roads be comes , so great," said Kahn. "that. the management of them exceeds the abil ity of 'one man, even if that mari'is a 'genius,- such a combination Is no longer of apy economic value." - , -, ? Kahn was testifying in the govern ment's suit to dissolve the Union Pa cific-Southern Pacific merger. Harri man, he said, had .not bought the Southern Pacific to extend his influ ence, but rather to conserve what pow ers he had and - to ";\u25a0; safeguard his strategic position. The Union Pacific then reached. the Pacific coast" over, the tracks of the Southern Pacific and there had- been rumors .after the death of Collia P.Huntington that interests hos tile to- the' Harriman roads .were 'ne gotiating for the purchase of the South ern Pacific. • Among those interests were under stood to be tho Goulds. What the Har riman lines wanted was not the Sunset route, but the gateway of San Fran cisco to the orient. "You^ consider, then." asked counsel for the government. "that,if you could have got rid of the Sunset route, which was a competing line of the Union Pa cific, it would have been a distinct ad vantage to you?" "Not on account of the competitive feature," answered Kahn. "If we had sought to obtain, a monopoly the easiest \u25a0way would have been to buy the Atchl son and the Rock Island and after ward the Northern Pacific." Harriman, Kahn went on, had come to his bankers with such a proposal. The^believed in Harriman's genius and Harriman believed in himself, ' but Kuhn, Loeb & Co. had advised against such a proposal, and Harriman had harkened. It was too big an under taking, they thought, for one man >© swing. • After Harriman's deajh. the Union Pacific had bought an additional 74,000 shares of Southern Pacific stock to safeguard itself against President Taft's proposed legislation to make it illegal .for a road owning less ' than' half the stock of a competing road to acquire/additional stock,- but permit ting, a road having 50per cent or more to have suclT-purcha.se. ' . Kahn said another , reason for the large issue of bonds was due to the rumor that Hill interests were going to purchase the Burlington railroad. The Union Pacific wanted to get a participation in any purchase of the Burlington to protect Itself, ; and -it would need money if this participa tion was granted. I "The man who expects to make a fight needs brains, courage and money," said Kahn. ; "Harriman had' the brains and courage, but he did need the money to fight- with." . : \u25a0 .; ;• BAKERSFIELD WOULD RAISE HER STANDING Action in Supreme .

STATEMENTS FROM PROMINENT PEOPLE IN VARIOUS CITIES A number of'lstatements from prom- inent people -located in various cities where the widespread discussion over L..T. Cooper's new theory regarding the human stomach has . recently waged,- give an idea of the intense Interest the j young man has aroused during the past year. The statements are as follows: Frank X. Hoover, a prominent con- tractor. | resident" of Durango. Colo., for the past 15 years, says: "For more than a year I suffered from intense pain in my stomach, being In such distress that I could not perform ' the work.- which I had .previously, fol- lowed. ", I tried doctors and medicines of various kinds, but- could find nothing that would give relief. I felt miserable all the time and could neither eat, sleep nor work. .' . -"One day my. druggist recommended Cooper's New -Discovery, and I decided to try it." I had reached the point where I was .willing, to try anything that of- fered'a promise of relief.. I was not dia- appointedithis time, but really surprised at' the promptness with which it cor- rected my trouble. ."In six weeks' time I' was back at my old work, j feeling like a different man. I can -eat anything set before me now and ;: enjoy' it. ; experiencing no pain or distress of any kind. Cooper's New Dis- covery does all that is claimed for it." ;>' James i_T. -Cameron, 12 Lord street. Bath/;MeVsays: • t'For.Veigrht: years I suffered terribly from stomach trouble.. I-could not eat a meal without experiencing great dis- tress afterward, even though I exercised great " care i inUhe selection of r my ; food. I could not'dlgest solid | food, which laid heavily :upon" my stomach, giving rise to gas.: which 'was weryxpainful and dis- tressing. \: My c appetite ; was .\u25a0. poor, 1 and frequently, l. went without a meal rather than? suffer the.: after, effects. i-/."l jbecame greatly weakened . and run down;, arid .though -iUrled, in: every way to'Ket'relief results.were always dlsap- Wanttoßu^orSeU? USE CALL WANT ADS! I pointing. Cooper's Xew Discovery be- ins strongly recommended, I procured a treatment, and to this medicine alone I owe my present good health. Its bene- ficial effect upon my system was so prompt that in a short time I was feel- ing like a different man. I was soon eating anything I liked without suffer- ing any discomfort afterward. I gained strength rapidly, and by the time I ha<l taken the full treatment was entirely well. I have great faith in Cooper's Xew Discovery and recommend It to any one who has stomach trouble." P. N. Robles, R.- F. D. No. 3, Flores- ville. Tex., says: "I suffered, with rheumatism in both feet and was so badly crippred that I was unable to perform any work for two months. I consulted, two doctors, who failed to help me. One day a friend handed me a booklet describing: the Cooper remedies, and I read it through. I was greatly Impressed with ilr; Coop- er's theory that the stomach is respon- sible for a majority of al!m«m;«. rheu- matism . included. He claimed that stomach weakness, bad digestion and poor appetite.^ impoverished the. system and mads It an easy prey to diseases of all kinds, and that if the stomach was restored to a normal condition of health and \u25a0 strength bodily ills would disap- pear. "Next day I sent for a treatment of Cooper's New Discovery and began tak- ing 1 it. The rapid manner in which it corrected my trouble was a revelation to me and beat anything I ever heard of. In two weeks* time I was feeling so good that I returned to work, and have lost no time since on account of Illness. The rheumatism finally left me entirely and my general health is decidedly bet- ter^ than it- has been' in years." The statements are from reliable citi- zens in .various communities who have tried these celebrated medicines. "We sell them and will gladly explain their nature to any one interested. OWL. DRUG Cp. 3
