ROCKEFELLER IN GREENWICH.
 William Rockefeller may soon take ur his residence in Greenwich again. He purchased residence there in 1884, and continually added to his estate until he became (and is) one of the largest tax payers Ten years ago he sold his resi- dence and about three acres of adjoin- ing land, and removed to Tarrytown, where he has since resided. He still retained large farm, trotting course and deer park here, and this spring he has added to it by the purchase of the Denton and Secor farms. If Mr. Rocke- Teller does not intend to reside there himself, it is almost certain that he will erect mansion on the newly acquired property for the occupancy of either his son, William, or his daughter, Mrs. McAlpin.

BEACH STILL IN JAIL.

William Y. Beach has as yet been un- able to secure bonds to the extent of S2, 900. His hearing will take place in West Haven before Judge Bryant. At torney J. P. Goodhart has been retained to defend Beach. It is understood that all the letters addressed to Beach's P. o. box 1916 have been conhscated by the postoflice officials, and sent to Washington, according to custom.
 The authorities believe that most of the letters deposited In the box for Beach since his arrest are similar to those which he sent to the young wo- man in Brooklyn during his recent cor respondence with her
 Thus far the United States authorities have taken no action against Beach. Should the accused succeed in obtain Ing the 5000 bail necessary to secure his freedom it is probable that the fed eral authorities will step in and cause h!s arrest.
 Secretary Thrasher of the law and or der league is still al work securing evil dence against the accused. He has re- ceived many letters from parties who were inveigled into a correspondence with Beach. None of these parties went as far as meeting him.
 Attorney Goodhart has been to New York and Brooklyn in the interest of his client and promises sensational de- velopments when the case comes to trial Beach's friends claim that his attorney has found some interesting facts about this young woman, which will put a different face altogether on the case when it comes to trial. Mir. Goodhart claims that the state authorities have no evidence on which his client can be held on the charge of enticing young women from home

Commissioner Kennedy asked Mr.. Wilson
if he was in favor of Government control
of the railroads. Mr.. Wilson replied that
under the present political system he was
not. In his opinion greater power should
be given to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. This, he thought, would tend TO
correct existing evils. He said that men
fare much better who serve on roads in
the hands of receivers than the men who
are employed on roads controlled by cor
porations He said that in his opinion the
true function of the Government should be
TO settle disputes between employers and
employees on railroads and determine rates.

Industrial Commission was created by

industrial workers and Congress, and he
desired to aid in the laudable undertaking
in correcting what he regards as existing
ills of the labor classes. He said that it
should be understood that wage earners

producing wealth, but depend upon others
to provide ways and means. He concluded
by urging that the national representatives
