Wo speak a common language ami deal In similar prob lema. Hut, It Is also a pleasure for a lawyer to talk to hla clients. That Is. sometimes It lit a pleasure. When their ejyies havo gone well and the lawyer Law wen out for them, then he likes to talk to hl clients. It Is a somewhat different matter when counsel has to explain to IiIh client why he has not won his lawsuit for him.

Do not let any body deceive, you as to that. If the court hnl held that every contract that put any restraint of any kind up on commerce nmong the states how ever Blight. was a violation of the Sherman law, the Department of Justice- would. havo had to Illustrate the truth of -what "Edmund Hurko said: "You enn't draw an Indictment against a nation For there nre not lawyers enough In tho government, nor for that matter In tho country, to draw Indict ments against everybody who makes liny contract that In any respect op crates In some measure to restrain lnter-statex commerce.

And this U esKclally so In view of tho fact that tho court gave full force to tho prohibition of monopolies find, by Its decrees has ordered the breaking" up of the two largest and most successful monopolies or trust which ever havd appeared In this country.

Don't believe any such talk. Talp my assurance for It that those big combinations are going to be split up Into r number of sep arate and distinct parts, no one of which shall have any connection with or-control over any other, nnd no one of which shall havo so large a per centage of tho business ns to he any thing like a monopoly. That la what I understand the court to require, and nothing Iea will meet my Interpreta tion of the decision of tho Supreme Court : "Well, you hare put In tho hands of your Department of Justlco a great ninny other lawa to enforce, and we have been enforcing them, and we hall go on enforcing them unless Con Kress next fall nhall fall to give us nioney enough to do so.

There are laws the value of the enforcement of which can not be measured by money. ' The government scored great Victories In the trust cases. Don't let anybody deceive you as to that. The department of Justice has sought to make the administra tion of Justice effective With out being clamorous. We collected more money as a result of the suits prosecuted by the department of Justice during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1910. than It cost Uncle Sam to run the entire legal es tablishment of the government.

Edward L. Hermann, of Calumet, a mining .engineer and graduate of -the Michigan College of .Mlins at Hough ton, has returned home from tho. Por cupine. . district of Ontario, -where he went through 8 i hair raising- ex periences during the recent big fires which cost so many lives and destroy, ed millions of dollara worth of prop erty In t fiat region recently.. Mr. Her mann is a son of Jo.4i.pb Hermann, the Jeweler. He tells of the big confla gration, how It started, the attempt. made to tight it and of his own ex periences in the flames lie says there were many acts of heroism displayed In which) brave young, nu n who w-ere workingin the district for the 'sum mer lost 'their llv.-s In' the attempts to save. those of ot'iers. T -.... Mr. Hermann was uccompanled ns far as Marquette by Horace R. Lob- dell of .that city, who was also in the Porcupine district and was overtake by tiO flamcH in the woods. Mr. Idi- dell and five others In hi partv saved their lives by digging, a hole In the mud and burying themselves, remain ing under the ground about an hour until, the flames had passed over them and the ground was cooled some what ... At Least 150 Dead. According to Mr. Hermann the lat est estimates of the dead, made at th stricken district by government nfll ccrs. and others, places the numbe at about lf0, although the exact num her probably will never be known. The woods, says Mr. Hermann,' were filled with woodsmen and prospectors. Many of these, had been In some one of the many towns about the porcupine lake at the time the fire swept-these places and lost their lives there, some of them, while those who were in the wood were probably all or nearly all burned to death All trails wero oh literated by, the flame, which swept through the forci-ts for a distance ot fifty or sixty miles nnd made a patch 20 to 5 miles In width. The govern ment hns sent about 100 men out Into the burned district, through tho woods and fc.ua nips, look -for remains of the dead, but, because of the trails be Ing wiped out, their work Is n difficult one. It is probable that the remains of prospectors and others who lost their lives In the woods will be found here and there for weeks to come As thorough a search as possible is being made. Fires Burninq Some Time. The 4and over which the fires swept says Mr. Hermann, is low nnd swampy and, because there were no rains to speak of for six weeks before the big conflagration, all moisture had been dried up and the woods and under brush were as dry as tinder.

This announcement was made to day, when it was declared that Gov. Koss, Impressed by evidences submit ted to him from many sources 'of the great change in Pomeroy's character, has dncldej to allow the life convict to enjoy many of the liberties granted well-behaved prisoners. ' Gov. Foss will never grant Pomeroy a full pardon, and It Is generally be lieved no other governor ever wl take such action; but to give the man who has inspired dread' In the hearts of even his keepers ever since the day, when, as a 14-year-old boy, he was thrust Into a "punishment" cell in the Charlestown prison, uny portion of the freedom enjoyed by tractable convicts Is considered evidence of a transform atiou In the criminal's make-up.

Wieho of the Hlnes Lumber Co., was cross-examined today before the Lorl- mer committee as to the part he ami Hlnes took In Lorimers election. Tho committee's attorney. Marble, directed attention to the night when Wlehe asked W. H. Cook and William O'Hrien at Hines' request to keep out of the way during the grand Jury session in Chicago. "Did you know It was a violation of the law to advise persons to avoid subpoenas?" asked Marble. "I did not think about It, at that tirtie. I was Just a messenger for Hines," replied Wlehe. " When Hlnes' attorneys sought to prove- tho subpoenas ' for Cook, and O'Brien had hot been Issued, the wit ness wa led to say that Hine, said to him the night he was mdvisod that tho subenas had been ' lssu-d. "Did you say that night Hines wn.s talk I tig- too much about tho Lorimcr case?" awkod'Miirble. "I might have. I knew Hines felt he was Instrumental In Lorimor's elec tion. I thought he would get Lori mor's elemles down on him." Asked regarding the meeting with It J.

Assailing the press of the Vnlted States for its support of Canadian re ciprocity, Senator LaFollette made hl.i closing speech against the bill in the Senate today. He declared the press failed in Its duty to, the public regard ing reciprocity. He said the press sup ported ' legislation because they "havo direct money interests." "We have senators who are bankers, woolen and cotton manufacturers, lumbermen and mine owners," declar ed LaFoHetfe. "Let no rewfpaper hereafter assail any -senator because he supports legislation In Ids own je culiar Interests." - Senator' LaFollette referred to Sen ator Hitchcock of Nebraska', who In terrupted .him, as a "news-paper own er" v bo had: direct Intere'sts at stake. "Is It not Just as fair for mo to criticize the senator from Wisconsin," retorted Hitchcock, "for adVocatlng? a duty on paper In the Interests of great paper mills In 'Wisconsin to which the whole country pays trib ute?" IaFollette replied lie did not favor a duty on paper, that be favored freo print paper nnd. would propose a measure of that kind as a direct tariff, measure. Townsend Amendment Defeated. Townsend's amendment to 'the reci procity bill, providing for internation- 1 al improvement of the St. Lawrence river from the Great I-ikes to tho ocean was defeated in. the Senate to day by a largo vote. Townsend said the improvement would greatly develop commerce, re- ouce frelgnt rates and work toward closer, commercial relations with Canada. Stone opposed putting watorwar legislation upon tho reciprocity bill. Ho said it should come up In Concr.-,s as a separate proposition and that a such probably would be favorably act ed upon. About 3.1.000 persons left Ireland last year, which Is a little below the average. GIDEONS, AT MILWAUKEE. Gospel Services in Forty Churches, af Cream City.
