work, but Mrs. Alice e. Cram prefers to do
the figuring herself and as result is getting
rich.
Nine years ago she started in business with
her husband, as contractor. Her business
ability was most marked. She and her hus-
band contracted for the foundation work of
some of the new public buildings in Boston
including the public library the court house,
the boulevard bridge and the Albany railroad,
which is said to be one of the finest pieces of
masonry in the country. Mrs. Cram superin-
tended the entire work of these contracts and
her Judgment is referred to as something
unique.
A year and a half ago Mrs. Cram decided to
set up in business all for herself and she now
has her own offices with everything under her
sole control. She employs women alone in the
office, believing she gets better work from
them. In addition to her business as a con-
tractor, Mrs. Cram conducts commission
business buying and selling the material
used in masonry work. When she has
large contract on hand she is back and forth
on the scene of action several times day,
driving jaunty cart like an expert whip. To
her was given the contract for the foundation
of the Edison Electric company's building of
Boston, What she is most proud Of Is her
securing the contract to team 40 900 tons of
stone to be used in elevating the tracks of
the New York, New Haven G Hartford rail-
road as she competed with contractors all
over the country.
Mrs. Cram had no special business training
beyond a public school education and the fact
that she was the sister of six brothers. She
is pretty well-dressed, home-loving woman.

DIVIDED DELEGATION.
Minnesota Members Not q Unit as to
immigration LegisIation,

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Mime
sofa delegation was not united on the ques-
ton of immigration, which came before the
Republican caucus of the house this evening
Mr.. Tawney and Mr.. Towne are strongly in
favor of restrictive measures, as proposed in
the Stone bill, which requires a consular in
yestlgat1on in foreign countries of all would
be immigrants to the United States. Thew
claim that Minnesota sentiment will sus-
tain their position, and cite the fact that
there is to be a constitutional amendment
voted on next November, which requires a
nVe-year residence in the state before a
foreign citizen can VOTE
Col K1efer is pronounced against the Stone
Dill. He says that there should be no him
drance against thrifty people coming here
and helping to build up the coun-
try. Col. Kiefer thinks that a system of
consular inspection is wrong and that it NAV
lead to international difficulties if our con-
sular agents are given authority to investi-
gate all past acts of persons intending TO
come to the United States Representative
EDDY says he does not think there should be
any immigration measure injected into the
approaching campaign, and that while he
favors all laws that will prevent the criminal
and pauper class from coming here. the
Northwestern territory is not deveIoned
su11ciently to warrant the passage of the
Stone bill.

NICARAGUA CANAL.
A Statement to the House Commit
tee by Lieut.. MenocaI,

WASHINGTON, April 11.-Lieut. A. G.
Menocal, U. S. NJ, the chief engineer of the
Nicaragua Canal company, appeared today be-
fore the house committee. Mr.. Menocal
submitted a statement, which was in the ma
ture of review of the commission sent to the
isthmus last summer. He said the board had
made a hasty trip through the territory
touching only here and there the route of the
canal when it was convenient, and he had an
imperfect knowledge of the physical condi-
tons of the problems presented and the work
already done. The plans of the company
were not for an ideal canal regardless of
cost but for one ample to satisfy the needs
OF commerce and larger than any ship canal
now in operation. Mr.. Menocals statement
dealt in detail with the atmospheric condi-
lions, rain fall and other natural features
OF the country, as we'll as the engineering
details of the canal. There was a long ex-
animation of Mr.. Menocal by members of the
committee. The company, he said, had paid
to the Nicaraguan government $1,000 for
its concessions, and $4,000 for its right of
way and nothing to the Costa RIGA govern
ment.
Mr.. Menocal made the trip through Mic
aragua with the government commission and
gave an account of the journey. Practically
no surveys or bearings were taken, he said.
The observations were Of the most hasty
and superficial sort and the report of the
commission might have been made as intelli-
gently without leaving Washington.

HIS REPLY IN THE NORTHERN Pa
CIFIC AND MANITOBA CASH
FILED,
E DENIES ALL FRAUD.
AN EXPLANATION OF THE VARIOUS
BOND TRANSACTIONS CALLED
IN QUESTION.
pany Were Really on His own
Behalf.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE answer of
Henry Willard, to the complaint in the suit
of the Northern Pacific and Manitoba Rail-
way company against him for an accounting
was filed In the United States circuit court
here this afternoon. He denies that he acted
as agent of the company in the sale of it's
bonds, and by the production of his CORES
pondence with the company, seeks to show
that he purchased $4,000, 900 of its 81, 26O, 900
first mortgage bonds outright, for which, as
alleged in his answer, he paid in FULL while
the remainder were neither sold nor bought
by him. AS regards the $65OO0O terminal
bonds for which an accounting is asked his
answer Is that he never received them for
sale, but that they were paid to the firm
of Becker, Howell & Co., as part consider
alton under contract between them and the
complainant for the completion of it's roads
and terminal improvements. He states that
the hrm acted for him because of his alb
sence in Europe. The answer further sets
forth that Mr.. Willard was the sole holder Of
all the stock of the complainant company, ex-
cept some qualifying shares, and as such,
all the transactions. with it really dealt with
himself.
The answer affirms finally that one Of the
conditions of the sale of the bonds and
stocks of the complainant Northern Pacific
and Manitoba Railroad company to the
Northern Pacific company under whose re-
ceivers the suit is really brought, was that
only the railroad terminal properties and
rolling stock should be delivered to the pur-
chaser and that all other assets should be
disposed Of by the complainant company
previous to the sale. which was done, he al
leges by dividing these assets among those
who at that time were entitled to them.
