PASSENGER AFFAIRS,
Officials of the Western Lines Discussing
Them

Chicago, April 20.-The executive Off
GERS of the Western lines have at last
concluded to take hand in regulating
the passenger affairs of their roads. No
meeting has been called as yet, but for
the last three days Vice President New
man of the Northwestern has been hard
at work engineering, with the cooperation
of Chairman Caldwell, another movement
for the reorganization of the Western
Passenger association. 1t is conceded
by all lines that the present agreement
is of small account and that a stronger
one is needed. The lines have finally
made up their minds that an agreement
which permits any line to do as it pleases
if it only gives an advance notice of
its intention, is practically powerless to
maintain rates. The plan on which Mr..
Newman is working is to go back to
the old idea of three organizations-a
transcontinental association, a trans Mis-
souri, association and a third for the
territory between Chicago and the Mis-
souri, river. 1t is intended to have the
three associations work in harmony as
far as possible and not take separate
action where joint interests are con-
cerned.
The Atchison is the principal stickler
for one association, the majority of the
other lines being against it. The Atch
ison people, however, will not stand in
the way of the formation of the three as
sociations if it is satisfied that it can
be done.

MORTON ON SILVER.
The Secretary of Agriculture Believes in
the Law of Supply and Demand

Washington, April 20.-Secretary Nor
ton, in an interview today on the silver
question, says: 81 do not believe that an
international conference can establish per
manently ratio between gold and silver
any more than it can establish n CONNER
cial ratio between rye and wheat. But if
4 comercial congress can fix the gold and
silver ratio it can also fix the price of
wheat or any other commodity, and there
by avoid all the possible shrinkages in
values which tend to cause panics.
"My own judgment is that we must
sooner or later declare that the United
States of America recognizes gold as the
best and least fluctuating measure of value
and medium of exchange which the com
merce of civilization has thus far utilized.
at is barely possible that the financial
fallacies of the Populists may temporarily
secure a majority of the, voters OF the
United States Should such a catastrophe
overtake the country, the people must
learn by experience what they should have
learned by dilligent study and reason.
"The time for straddlers has passed.
Those who are for sound currency on a
gold basis ought to have the courage to
say so and abide by the results of their
declaration. 1t makes no difference to
me whether a declaration of truth, either
upon the tariff or the money question. tenn
pOrarily drives voters from us or allures
them to us.
81 have no hesitation in declaring my
self utterly opposed to all the free coinage
fallacies. My judgment is that silver can
not be restored to its former monetary
place in the currency of this world because
the supply has outgrown the demand for
silver in the exchanges of civilization.
The relation of supply to demand is the
sole regulator of value. This action COM
plies alike to salt, silver. sugar and syrup.
The legislation of all the law-making bod
les on the face of the globe can not miti-
gate nor annul the operation of the mex
orable law that the relation of supply to
demand is the sole regulator of value
THE presidents critics, however, ask
what sound money is? An ordinary man
of buiness may answer the question.
Sound money is that sort of currency
which is the most universal and least
tluctuating purchasing power in the mar
kets of all Countries That money is
sOundest which throughout the countries
of the civilized world there is most uni
versal demand, and that universal demand
is always based upon the universal and
tluctuating purchasing power of that
money"

says he took especial care in the matter
of the autopsy and he is satisfied that no
criminal operation was performed. He
also states that both young women died
of strangulation and that the knife
wounds in Miss Williams body were not
the cause of death.
Among the gruesome exhibits in the
case was one that was quietly taken
to police headquarters and locked up and
not until a late hour last night did the
police acknowledge they had it. This eX-

UNRAVELNG A MURDER.
The Bodies of Three Missing Men Found
in Utah Lake.

Salt Lake, Utah, April 21.-The mys-
terry surrounding the murder of three
young men who lived in the vicinity OF
Utah lake, near Lehigh, Utah, is grad
ually being cleared up.
Albert Hayes, Andrew Johnson and Al
fred Nelson had been living at Pecan
Point for some time, but were elected
about two months ago on Il suit brought
by Oliver Glade. The three men were
missed some time ago and on Monday last
the body of Hayes was found near the
lake shore. Death had been caused by
two gunshot wounds. Late in April the
bodies of johnson and Nelson were found
in a lake. They presented a sickenlng
sight. The murder probably occurred
in February. The murdered men were
all cousins and were running stock bust
ness on a ranch. The theory is that the
men were murdered during the night in
n cabin and then thrown into the lake, as
the bodies were nearly undressed. The
shooting was with 44-calibre rifle. Sus-
picion points to II. II. Hayes, stepfather
of one of the murdered men, and Il son
of his, who is missing. Other theories
are advanced. but have no motive to sup
port them. The country surrounding the
ranch is wild and broken and has been
the scene of many tragedies between the
Indians and early settlers The coroner $
jury examined the bodies today and will
begin the inquest tomorrow. The excite
ment runs high, especially among the
ranchmen in the vicinity of the murder.
Startling developments are expected to,
morrow.
