RAILROAD INTERESTS.
THE ADVISORY BOARDS MEETING

THERE WILL BE NO QUORUM AT CHICAG0-MR.
GoULD'S ATTITUDE.
1t may be confidently asserted that there will be no
meeting OF the Advisory Board Of the Western Traffic
Association in Chicago on April IL. The Gould roads,
least part of Them will not be represented and
there will be no quorum before Chairman Miller nj
the tlmc appointed. This does not mean that serious
trouble IS brewing or that Mr.. Gould Is trying to
disrupt the organization. II is only indicative OF the
fact that meeting Of the Advisory Board cannot be
held In Chicago, where twice before the attempt to
secure a quorum has been unsuccessully made. Never
theless the conditions existing In Western Traffic
matters make action necessary and n call for special
meeting to be held in this city will be Issued by Chair
man Miller Immediately upon the failure to secure a
quorum In Chicago.
That this will be the Iesult is sufficiently Indicated
by the following extracts from the correspondence
between Mr.. Gould and Mr.. Miller January %
last when the former consented to the postponement
OF the against tho Achlson Topeka and santa Fe
the Chicago burlington and Quincy and the Southern
Pacific based the charges Of ratecuttlng preferred
by the Missouri Pacific. The Missouri Pacific had de
mandcd that an immediate special meeting be called
to TAX action these charges, and Chairman Miller,
In his response to Mr.. Gould. said
81 believe that the members Of the Advisory Board
accord with you I'm the view that these should
not be delayed unduy and II there shall be no quorum
at the next regular meeting | should consider IL my
duty at once 10 call special meeting at such time
and place as will be likely to secure quorum"
Mr. Gould. whose desire to the charges pressed
may be brought into question, replied to Mr. Miller
In part follows:
q" recognize the force OF the objections to special
meeting stated by yor and acquicsce In them
particularly In consideration Of your statement that
II there shall be no quorum at the next regular meet
Ing OF the Board yOu will consider II your duty to
call a special meeting for the consideration OF the
cases recently postponed
That the charges ~ ratecutting against the three
roads implicated had good foundation Is not to be
doubted but none Of tho three will be likely TO stand
summary disciplinary m'asuIc5. Nor Is 1t at all ap-
parent that Mr. GOuld has any such clear case against

FURTHER DETAILS.
Coleman Admits That He Ia in Jail Under
Assumed Name.


SALEM, Or, Oct. 2.-Coleman. alias Carl
son. is 40 years old. and of medium height,
heavy head. soft dark hair tinged with gray.
full sandy beard and mustache, eyes blue
and far apart. forehead broad.
The two-year term he is serving for the
crime of assault expires soon, but the prison
officials have warrant for his arrest for
the crime of robbery at Portland.
His prison friends, while they were "trus.
ties" together, say Coleman's description
pretty nearly tallieS with that of "Cooney
the Fox" who drove the white horse and
took Cronin TO The Carlson cottage, where
the murder was committed.
Coleman says he knew Dan Coughlin, the
detective, who was sentenced to prison at
Joliet for life for the murder of CronD. 1t
will be remembered il was COughlin who
ordered the vehicle for his friend and it was
this vehicle that carried CronIn to the cot
tage.
Prison officials say they know nothing OF
Coleman's connection with the Cronin case,
and say they have no warrant for his ar
rest from Chicago. They are inclined to
believe there Is nothing in the story. Two
months ago when Coleman was locked up
aud asked for the reason he remarked it
was probably on account OF the Cronin
matter, but the prison officials thought moth
ing of it aud made no investigation. Cole
rested in Oklahoma for the murder of
Cronin. but be said he had been In Okla
homa. he was arrested the very day he
arrived in Portland and sentenced for two
years for the crime of assault with deadly
weapon committed upon policeman at the
Union idepot. He is known by the officers
as a pickpocket and general SIN Doth all
round crook. lie says he knows nothing
about the Cronin murder, but admits max
ing the remark that, ''he guessed 1t was on
account of that Croniu matter" when the
penitentiary guards looked him up.
He says he made that remark because
he didn't know what else to say, and had
to account for it in some way. He is a
cigar-maker, and lived in Chicago. He said
he used to work in the Chicago Times press
room in the days of Story. lie says he
never went under the name of Geohegan,
and intmates that Thomas Carlson is his
real name. An Associated Press reporter
asked him, "Were yon in Chicago when
Cronin was murdered?" Coleman replied,
''You ask pretty direct questions" He
eyaded an answer, finally saying that he
lived at Chicago with his wife, but said lie
was NOS at the house then.

Of the Crime.
His STRANGE REFERENCE TO TEE DEED.
Thomas Coleman, Alias Carlson, Suspected Of Being
the Man Who Committed the Murder
Of the Century.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

SALEM, Or, Oct. 2.-The dispatch last
night from Chicago which stated that Thom-
as Coleman, who is now confined In the
penitentlary here. is supposed to have been
connected with the murder of DR.. Cronin,
was news to the prison officials, who state
that they have had no communication with
Chicago officials about the matter. They
claim to have heard a rumor that Coleman
was connected with the crime but put no
lalth in the story.
Coleman was sent here from Portland in
March. 1891, to serve two years term for
the crime of assault with dangerous
weapon. He has been trusty up to two
months ago when bench warrant came from
Portland where he Is wanted to answer to
charge of robbery and assault. Coleman
Is smooth, and has the appeaTace Of being
an all around crook.
When he heard Of the dispatch this mo.n-
Ing connecting him with DR.. Cronin's mur-
DER he said that he would have no trouble
In clearing himself of the charge. He for
mally lived in Chicago, where he has a
brother and three sisters living. he says in
the past five years he has been in Oklahoma,
fuget Sound and San Francisco. He
seemed nervous when speaking about
Chicago and when he was permitted to read
the Chicago dispatch his hand Quiyered and
tears came to his eyes.
Two months ago when Coleman had his.
trustyship taken away he asked the reason
ana allrl said he presumed it was on account OF
That Cronin matter" At that time he
said nothing further about the crime, but
has since told The convicts that lie could
easily prove an alibi. Coleman says he has
never gone by the name Of Geohegan. II is
said he was formerly known by the
name OF Carlton. He states that he was
married during the excitement over
Cronin's murder

THOUSANDS WERE STARVING.
Food Riots in One Of the Beautiful Cities
Of Southern Mexico.

NEW ORLEANS. Oct q The Times
Democrat San Antonio snecial says: Homer
Finley, who for the past six years has been
in business in the city Of Morla, Mexico.
arrived to-day and gave vivid account of
the famine riot in that city last Sunday.
Morlia Is the capital of the State of MIchoa-
can, and one of the most beautiful ci les In
Southern Mexico, but there are several
thousand poor people there on the verge OF
starvation. owing to a total failure of crops
and the scarcity OF other food supplies.
When the famine threatened several months
ago, several wealthy merchants OF Morlia
contracted for large quantities of corn in
the United States. enough TO supply the suf-
fering people. The SPECTATORS then put up
the prices and extorted what little money
the poor people had in short tme For
the past two months the suffering has been
Intense, and many deaths have occurred.
At last the streets became thronged with
beggars, and men. women and children
made heartrending appeals for help. This
was kept up until last Sunday, when the
starving horde organized themselves into a
mob. and, driven by desperation. began
concerted attack upon the food stores of the
city. There were fully 5000 people in the
mob. and the police were utterly powerless
TO stop it. Two regiments of Federal cav
airy and one OF infantry, stationed at
Morlia, were called out to quell the riot, but
this only added to the desperation of the
starving people. The soldiers opened fire
and one man was killed and several wounded.
The mob looted the granarieS and then dis
persed. Finley looks for repetition OF the
trouble.

HAS HURT ONLY HIMSELF.
German Socialists Are Still Germans as
Against France.

BERLIN. Oct. -2.-The Social Democrats
have taken advantage of the uncertainty
and confusion prevailing in domestic
politics TO begin the most aggressive Cain
paign of the last few years. Liebknechts
speeches in Marseilles last week were part
of his programme TO start new and yigor-
Gus agitation for social revolution.
His utterances against Germany's policy
toward France, as well as his unmeasured
words Of condemnation of Prnssa's action
in and after the war of 1901 were In

eminent to prosecute him and thus give
him chance TO rally his party with the cry
persecution, as he did in the days OF Bis
marck's repressive laws.
Count Caprivi. however, is TOO clever TO
be caught by such a transparent trick. and
consequently there Is no talk of prosecuting
Liebknecht for his reasonable speeches.
and only the most rabid anti-S0cialist
newspapers have devoted space to the dis
cussion of the Marseilles incident.
In South Germany Liebknecht has only
hurt his party by his speeches, for Herr Won
Vollmar, the SOcial-Democrat leader, will
not tolerate any anti-German agitation in
his wing Of the party. and 1t would require
only few more hints from Liebknechts
Central Committee TO drive him and his
ring out Of tie party altogether.
