Is CRAWFORD ALIVE:
The Ogden Standard is of the opin-
ion that He Is.

ion that He Is.
The Ogden Standard, in an article yes
terday morning, claims that William
Crawford, the Wyoming cattleman. who
was supposed to have been murdered, is
alive. 1t says:
William Crawford, the Wyoming cattle
man, supposed to have been murdered on
the 18th day of January, 1898, is alive
and today is following The same pur-
suits as he did when in this section of
country. This, at least is the story that
is told by two men who both assert
that they have seen the man and spoken
with him within the last six months.
1t will be remembered thai at one
time Crawford was in partnership with
VIM. Thompson of Salt Lake, and Har-
vey Booth and e. S. Croker of Evans
ton, Wyoming, in the cattle business.
Later the partnership was dissolved and
Crawford and Thompson went into bust
ness together, while Booth and Crocker
did likewise.
When William Crawford disappeared
in the winter of 1893 it was the general
impression that he had been foully dealt
with and that impression ais the preVa-
lent one up today. He has picked out an
ideal spot in which to hide The nearest

THE b. q o.
Plans for its Reorganization Also
Being Considered.


BALTIMORE, March LIT is stated
ON good authority that the re-organiza-
ton of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
can be effected without any assessment
upon the common stock and that plan
with this result in view is under con-
sfderation and will be submitted within
a few days to one or both of the COM
mittees having the matter in charge.
The plan is an elaborate one, its main
feature being a reduction in the oper-
ating expenses and the ultimate float
ing of new securities to provide for the
taking of such receivers certificates is
sued before reorganization can be eff
fected. The reduction in expenses, if
the plan is adopted, will be brought
about by the Cancellation of all the
present auxiliary systems into one
body with headquarters in Baltimore
and having but one set of departmental
heads. This would involve the aboli-
ton of the present executive depart
nlents of the Baltimore & Ohio, South
western and Pittsburg & Western. A
general scaling down of rentals Wher-
ever practicable would also be effected,
and these economies, together with an
ticipated increased earning capacity of
the several systems to be brought about
by increased 1acllueS Tor nanQlfnS
traffic, would, it is thought, put the
company in a position to float the Sc
curities in sufficient volume to cancel
the floating debt and provide for the
receivers certificates. The promoters
of the scheme realize that there is lit
tie or no chance to do anything of the
kind at this time, but they assert that
there is sure to be so great an increase
in the roads. carrying system from
this time forward that by the time the
details of the plan are perfected pub
lie confidence will be restored to an eX-
tent which will admit of the floating of
the proposed new securities. In this
connection it is also stated that the
Baltimore committee recently organized
to look after the interests of. local Sc
curity holders will make a determined
effort to have the books of the COM
pany oyerhauled by an expert with
view of learning the exact condition of
the property and of ascertaining what
has become OF the collateral which was
thought to have been in the company's
stronghold up to within week of the
final collapse

AFRICAN MILLIoNAIREs.

They Do Absolutely Nothing For
the Land That Makes Them Rich.
1t is claimed in defense of the at
tempt of the Uitlanders to overthrow
the Boer government in South Africa
that the newcomers into the Trans
wall outnumber the Beers, own vast
ly more wealth and pay more taxes,
and therefore ought to have more voice
in the government than they are now
given. 1t cannot be successfully ques-
toned that the Uitlanders are the
wealthy people of the Transvaal. But
what good does their wealth do the
country? The African Critic, pub
lished in London, answers the question
by saying that the millionaires Of
South Africa are absolutely worthless
to the country, in so far as developing
any but mineral resources is con-
cerned. No industry except mining for
gold and diamonds receives the slight
est attention from them. They en-
ploy the lowest classes of labor posi-
BILE to be found, keep the laborers in
actual or virtual slavery during the
period of employment, and turn them
loose poorer than they ever were be-
fore All the wealth of minerals that
is taken from the earth goes into the
pockets of the aliens and is taken away
to foreign country, except such small
amounts as the government levies in
taxes. Not one of the English South
African millionaires has more than
temporary home in the country, and
most of them go there only occasional
~, and then for the purpose of pulling
the strings tighter. The Australian
millionaire delights TO create magnifi-
cent estates-mansions. farms and
ranches-in the land that has given
him wealth. Not one of the South AZ
rican millionaires has added one sheep
or one OK to the wealth of the coun-
try Not one of them has made one
blade of grass grow where none grew
before. Not one of them has caused
an acre of grain, or tea. or coffee, or
cotton, or flax. or barley to be cult
waited Nothing useful to the service
of mankind has been added to the
country by them. Their creed is to
take all and give nothing in return
