which cannot be accomplished under
existing conditions will be sought af-
ter through the medium of another
pan American congress. Better meaSs
of transportation, better methods of
banking and better system of COM

course between the United States and
I.atin-American countries.
The bureau of American republics

is doing all in its power to encourage
pan-American trade relations. Direc-

New York, Aug. 1.-THE World
says:
THE doctors at Roosevelt and Belle
vue hospitals are perplexed with a
case just brought to their attention
and are undecided whether Mrs. Matil-
da Barton or Burke (she is known by
both names), a handsome, well dress
ed woman, attempted to poison herself
with sulphate of zinc or was simply
suffering with Mysteries.
Her husband, according to Miss No
bic, Mrs. Barton's friend, is a trav-
cling man. Where he is at present,
Miss Noble does not know,
A friend called on Miss Noble and
invited her and Mrs. Barton to the
Colonial cafe for luncheon. The in
vitation was accepted and the two
women accompanied the man. What
his name is Miss Noble will not say,
except that he is wealthy and very
prominent in club circles.
AT the dinner table the three discuss
ed many things and the conversation
turned to the subject of death.

marked Mrs. Barton.

and the suggestive poison was hidden

Schenectady, n. Y, Aug. 14.-Gener-
a, Electric company officials are show
ing the working of the Sprague null
tiple unit system of car traction to
Isaac ID. Barton, general manager, and
c. H. Cornell, chief engineer of the
Brooklyn elevated railroad. The gem
eral Electric company has an expert
mental track for the third track sys-
tenn and six cars belonging to the
South Side road of Chicago have been
equipped with the necessary apparat-
us and are used for the tests.
The cars are all equipped with the
new Sprague multiple unit system of
control by which any car is operated
from either end by a lever or push
button with automatic return, some
thing after the method of the Sprague
elevator.
By its application any number of
cars, without regard to sequence or
heading, may be coupled to gether
instantly and controlled from either
end of any car. The cars are indi-
vidual i'm all details. The object is
to so CONTROL them that they can be
connected together at will and when
so connected operated from ether end
of any car in the train unit.
Controlling mechanism is carried on
five cars, enclosed underneath the seat
inside the car In one car it occupies
the unique position of "a space inside
the canopy over the platform, where
it can be reached by AN inspector
without entering the car.
Underneath each car is a cable, ter
minating in a flexible end with pc
culiar interlocking coupling, which no
matter what the heading of the car
may be, so connects the controlling
circuit that the direction and move
ment OF the trolley on the platform
always produces the same movement
of the car with regard to the track
There is therefore, no such thing as
head or tail of the car. The estab-
lishment of the coupling takes less
time than the coupling of a single pipe
in an ordinary brake system.
The tests made for the Brooklyn
gentlemen were unusually sever, but
in every way satisfactory. When the
Brooklyn road people had watched
the workings of the mechanism, the
train was tested ON accelerations. 1t
takes Manhattan IL" engine % sec
onds to get going at rate of fourteen
miles an hour. The test train got up
a speed of twenty-three miles in ten
seconds; thirty-eight in fifteen seconds
and forty-five and one-half miles IN
twenty seconds. This eclipses all |
previous records in this section.

THE BIRD LAW.
Women Can Use the Fowls for Deco
rative Purposes If They
Choose.

Boston, Mass, Aug. 1.-THE famous
law which was intended to prohibit
the wearing of feathers or bodies of
birds for ornamental purposes in hats,
has been interpreted by Attorney Gen
eral Knowlton in such way that
there is practically no prohibition at
all. In an exhaustive paper he has
given the opinion that the bird law
does not prohibit the bringing of
birds into the state.
In the summary of his paper, the at
torney general says: 81 am Of the
opinion that chapter 124 is not to be
construed as prohibiting the having
in possession or the wearing of body or
feathers of birds taken or killed with
out the commonwealth"
New York was especially interested
in this matter because many of the
feathers used by local mil)iners are
procured in New York.
1t was stated at the time of the pas
sage of the act that the measure was
an honest and earnest attempt to stop
the killing of birds for ornamental
purposes and to discourage the wear
ing of feathers in women's bonnets.
As Mr.. Konwlton's opinion practically
removes such restriction. those who
have been earnest in lighting the
cause of the birds believe that the
legislators of the state will not let tie
matter rest at its present status.
A new crusade will probably be
started next winter.

NOT HOWEVER, UNTIL AFTER
Q THE COURTS HAD WRAN-
GLED AWHILE.
The Constitution Provided That
Headquarters Should Remain
In Illinois, But There
Was No Especial City
Mentioned.

Fulton, ILL.,, Aug. 14.-Head Attorney
Johnson, of the Modern Woodmen of
America, who was one of those ar
rested in connection with yesterdays
riot, has been served with an injunc-
ton issued late last night by Master
in-Chancery McPharen, at Sterling, for
the purpose Of preventing any further
efforts to remove the headquarters Of
the order to Rock island, by force.
Anthony Bastian and G. w. Clenden-
non, of Fulton, who were directors of
the Modern Woodmen in 1895 when
the board was reduced from Is to 5,
took possession of Head Clerk Halves
office early this morning as directors
of the order.
The history of the long fight to re-
move the headquarters of the Modern
Woodmen of America from Fulton,
H., to other points is interesting.
1t was 1879 that the Modern Wood
men of America was organized I'M
der the laws of Illinois. The charter
expressly stipulated that the. head
quarters should be located in the state
of Illinois. The place, so long as
within the state, was immaterial but
as Fulton was the home of ]. G. Root
one of the founders of the order, he
selected that place as the headquar-
tiers of the organization.
AS the association prospered Root
concluded that he would move it to
some larger city. 1t was in 1890,
eleven years later, that the idea of a
change entered Roots head. Omaha
was on the boom and he selected this
place as the future home of his COM
panions.
When he completed all arrange
ments to go to Omaha, he suddenly
discovered that the people of Fulton
to have a word to say about
the matter About a carload of rec
Ords had accumulated by that time at
Fulton, which belonged to the organ
ization and when Root attempted to
remove these from the town he was
interrupted by an injunction Issued
from the District court.
The case was tried and determined
in favor of Fulton being the perma-
nent home of the association. Root |
appealed and the Supreme court con.
irmed the decision. This fight had
provoked much bitterness in the or
yanization and there were many who
we're not satisfied to have Root at the
lead of the order, which was at that
ime essentially an Illinois institution,
md which he was anxious to remove
o some other state.
Then a fight was started on Root
o GUST him as sovereign commander
r Supreme head of the Modern Wood
men. The matter went through all
he state courts and Root was finally
efeated. He at once came to Omaha
nd started a rival order known as
yoodmen of the World.
The fight to keep the headquarters
t Fulton was not resumed until two
ears ago, when during the Milwaukee
the city Of Rock Island,
H., offered to furnish the order a per-
lament building at that place if the i
were brought there. 1t IN
