ALBERT, KING OF THE BELGIANS.
All the I.ilieralists and even many of the Socialists in Belgium look for
ward to many reforms under King Albert, and that unusually democratic
monarch will come nearer having the combined supjiort of his people than
any other ruler In the old world except possibly King Edward and the
German emperor. Both lie and his queen arc loved and respected by their
subjects. Their charities and their Interest In the people have long been
sources of friendly comment not only In Belgium, but all over the old world,
and the new king's policy, it Is generally believed, will have the etTect of
arresting the fast growing tendency townrd socialism In Belgium.
COMPANY RESPONSIBLE FOR
DEATH M’GREGORJS VERDICT
JURY DECLARES POWDER MAN INCOMPETENT
The coroner’s Jury In the case of
Hugh McGreggor, whose death fol
lowed Injury at Copper Flat, return
ed a verdict yesterday afternoon to
effect that the unfortunate man came
to his death as a result of the “ne
glect and criminal carelessness of
the Nevada Consolidated Copper
Mining company.”
The verdict was signed by all the
Jurymen: W. S. Henderson, H. L.
Fuller, L. C. Morgenson, George B.
Hughes, George McDonald and A. A.
Marshall.
The Jury’s Investigations showed
that McGreggor, when struck by the
ilying rock which caused his fatal
injuries, was walking from 1,000 to
1,200 feet from where the blast was
tired.
A number of witnesses were heard
at the inquest. Their testimony
showed that the blasting was done in
constructing a piece of railroad
grade and that very heavy charges
were used. It was further shown
that no effort was mnde to confine
the scattering of the rock and dirt
from the blast and that Lou De
Fllppe, an Italian who did the tiring,
knew but little as to the power of
the blasts put in, although he has
had about two years’ experience in
handling powder and dynamite.
Funeral services for Mr. McGreggor
were held Sunday afternoon at the
KoekhiU-Schallenberger hall under
auspices of the Carpenters’ union
and the local lodge of Odd Fellows.
Rev. G. C. Hunting of St. Barthol
omew’s church, delivered a sermon
and the ritual of the Odd Fellows
was read. The services were attend
ed by more than 200 members of the
1 organizations and friends of the de
.
ceased who, headed by the McGill
band, escorted the remains to the
cemetery.
Because he was accused of accept
ing a fee without preparing a case,
G. A. Carter, a prominent Atlanta at
torney, is alleged to have probably
fatally stabbed J. A. Smith, a client.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.—Several per
sons were knocked down and shock
ed today and 250 tenants much
alarmed by an attempt of "Black
Handers" to blow up the Christie
tenement house.
A quantity of dynamite was ex
ploded on the first floor stairway.
The whole building was badly shak
en but no one was injured seriously.
Threatening letters, demanding
$8,000 in cash, hnd been received re
cently by the grocery firm which oc
cupied the ground floor.
Col. L. G. Cannon, vice president
and general manager of the Nevada
Northern, who returned Saturday
night from a month’s visit in New
York and other eastern points, was
in his offices yesterday at East Ely
with plenty of enthusiasm as to the
future. “I bring back no news of di
rect Interest to the district at the
moment,” said Mr. Cannon In re
sponse to a reporter’s query, "but
I can say that things In the east
look exceedingly good and that they
are all expecting a great year. And
there is everything to indicate that
such expectation is well founded.
"There is much Interest in copper
and copper camps, and tne Ely dis
trict gets its full share of considera
tion among those who keep track of
the Industry. Recently the large In
terest has centered in the merger
matter. The consolidation of Utah
Copper and Boston Con. has been
very favorably received. The merger
with these of Nevada Con. as you
know, was voted down. However,
I have reason to believe that there
has been some change of sentiment
in regard to the matter and it is pos
sible that there (may be a reconsid
eration of the stand taken. I am
not at liberty to quote, but a very
high power in Guggenheim affairs
who was opposed to the merger of
Nevada Con. now looks upon the
matter In a different light and will
favor the consolidation. This by
reason of further study of Utah and
Boston reasources than he had pre
viously made.
“Concerning railroad matters (
there is nothing new to be told. 1
met Frank C. Armstrong while in
New York. He is looking after Mr.
Thompson's interests in the new
railroad promotion. I gathered from
him that they were working out their
plans. As to general conditions, the
country at large seems very prosper
ous. In the east the holiday ex
penditures were the largest ever
known. Everybody appeared to have
plenty of money and to have no
hesitation about parting with it.”
L0N6 MARCH
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 3.—In
the face of a rain and snow storm
today, Emperor Nicholas followed on
foot the body of his grand uncle,
Grand Duke Michael Nieholavich, as
it was borne from the railroad sta
tion a distance of three miles to the.
fortress at St Peter and St. Paul.
The route of march was lined on j
either side by a wall of troops which j
insured the emperor’s safety from
terrorists, but the greater danger
from the elements he made no at
tempt to avoid.
When he arrived at the cathedral
within the fortress, the emperor and
others of the royalty who accom
panied him were drenched to the
skin. Fear was expressed that his
Majesty might suffer an attack of
pneumonia froan constitutional ex
posure and the requiem mass was
delayed for an hour to permit of his
complete change of clothing.
Duriug the funeral procession the
streets of the city were filled with a
silent throng, but no untoward in
cident occurred.

Railroad Heads Not Be
lieveb to Have Altered
SpecialMessage Policies
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.—Presi
dent Taft had an extended confer
ence Unlay with the presidents of ill
of the leading railroads of the coun
try, who had requested a hearing
with him before his special message,
dealing with Interstate Commerce
law amendments, should be sent to
congress.
It is said that the railroad repre
sentatives sought to convince the
president that further legislation at
this time would upset conditions in
the railroad and industrial worlds,
which have generally been righting
themselves in the last two years.
The railroad men seamed rather
dejected when they left the White
House and It was Inferred that their
mission, so far as holding up the
president’s special message was con
cerned, was a failure.
The president announced, after
I the conference, that the special mes
i sage would be ready for congress
! Wednesday at noon.
The president last week received
i a request for a hearing and granted
! it. He will also give a hearing to
the Shippers’ association and to the
Interstate Commerce commission.
The latter conference will be held
at the White House tomorrow morn
ing. The conference today was at
tended by President Mellen, New
York, New Haven & Hartford rail
roads; President McCrea of the
Pennsylvania; President Lovett, of
the Union Pacific and allied Harrl
man lines; President Baer, of the
Philadelphia & Reading; President
Finley, of the Southern, and Presi
dent Brown of the New York Cen
tral. Attorney General Wickershana
was present.
J. P. Morgan’s flying visit to the

said to have been in connection with
a request of the railroad presidents
for a hearing.

Judge O’Sullivan, in his address to the grand jury, directed that
