Laird of Skibo Quotes Plato in
Discussing Immortality; Pre=
diets Teddy's Future
SANTA BARBARA. 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•"/':*

DRASTIC CHANGES
IN RAILROAD BILL
Administration Measure Is ' Re=
modeled by House Commit*
tee on Commerce
Important Provision Is Stricken
Out and Amendments May
Be Added *
WASHINGTON, March 7.— The house
committee on interstate and foreign,
commerce today made a drastic change
in . the administration railroad bill,
striking out the authorization;, .under
which a carrier that owns ,so per cent
of the stock of another line may still
further extend its holdings.- This is
one of the provisions, inserted in. the
bill at the request of Attorney General
Wickersham and is a; part \u25a0 of the bill
as reported.from the senate committee.
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

hoon, chief clerk for S. F. Booth of the
Union pacific; "Tom" Settle, manager
of the E. C. Horst- company, and Messrs;
White and Mahaffey of J. M. Brewer's
office, after an unusually long walk last
Sunday from Berkeley to Pinole.
The quartet were all. in' Berkeley and
•some one suggested a drink. A most
unusual suggestion for a Berkeleyite.
C-alhoon .suggested a walk first—
which was most", necessary — and the
party started out to walk. ' Calhoon
had a reputation as a pedestrian, and
to him it was only a short jaunt. They
walked and they' walked f and 'they
walked until they, finally \u25a0 reached
'Pinole. ! White was in the lead, Settle
second and Calhoon,- the adept, a poor
third.' Mahaffey managed to get to'

FORCED TO BUY
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 .; ;•

• Just '.east ..of Field, at the foot of the
western slope of the Rockies, the pas
sengers of, westbound express 97 had an
almost miraculous escape from destruc
tion by a snowslide early Saturday af
ternoon. The thunder- of the avalanche
booming down the mountain side could
plainly be heard. The engineer opened
the throttle, of his engine and the train
dashed down grade at an alarming rate.
It was a Vace between the express and
the snowslide. The last car : had just
got by a steep point when the- slide
struck ,the rails not 10 feet behind. An
enormous mass of packed snow and ice,
in whioh big trees ; were I enmeshed,
buried the rails to a depth of 20 feet. ;
Reports of further snowslides in Brit
ish Columbia today are untrue.' jj

I For the Woman Who
Has Beautiful Hair
(New York Theatrical . News)
The beauties in the Anna Held cho-
rus are famous for their pulchritude.
Their coiffures add 1 a great deal •to
their charms. How they can "man-
age" ; such abundance of beautiful
tresses day in and day out,, keeping al-
ways the same; well-groomed appear-
ance.^ls beyond the ken *of the average
woman. But, listen while I? whisper,
these girls depend j altogether upon dry
shampooing to keep their hair fine and
glossy. •-\u25a0\u25a0
They mix 4 ounces- of powdered 'or-
ris /root -'with 4 ounces of therox, and
they are prepared for a season's sham-
pooing. : Once or. -twice -a . week .they
sprinkle a tablespoonful of this mixture
on the head and then brush the powder
well- through the hair. That is all
there" is' to It.* and they have escaped
the bother and discomfort that accom-
pany washing, • rinsing, and drying the
hair, * together r with '' the of
catching.coldi i « . -
The ; wonderful j results . they, achieve
with- therox convinces me that it . Is the
only 'thing ;,that can srr-ow^ hair; for
their hair. is;long.andabundant,in ad-
dition to being fluff y- and lustrous.

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

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.
