A GREAT RAILROAD DEAL.
j. II. Morgan May Combine the Van
derbiIt and Gould Interests

CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-The next few
months will witness sweeping consolida-
ticn of railroad interests that will wipe
cut the last vestige Of competition between
the Vanderbilt and Hartman Gould inter-
ests. 1t is said the consolidation of the
two palace car companies was the prelim-
mary step toward carrying out deal over
which ]. Pierpont Morgan and his finan-
cial allies have been working for more
than year.
To judge of the magnitude of the contem
plated deal it need only be said that the
two syndicates mentioned, together with
the Pennsylvania Company, control fully
one-half the total -ailroad mileage in the
United States, or 50. 900 miles nall.
The maintenance OF freight and passen-
ger traffic rates as well as the sleeping car
tariff is the prize for which Mr. Morgan
and his allies are striving, and if their
plans do not miscarry, they will soon be
able to present solid front to the rest of
the railroad world

A CLAIM OF INJUSTICE.
Assertions Made by n Man Convicted
of Burglary.

PASSAIC. y. J.. Oct. 23.-People here
are deeply interested in the identity of a
young man known in the police records as
Frank L. Fischer. who is serving eighteen
months in Jail for an attempted burglary.
Fischer. or Ashe, or Foster, by which
names he has been known, certainly does
not look like a thief and does not talk
like one. His manners are those OF a gen.
tleman.
But Fischer was adjudged a criminal
after fair trial, and he now is under
going all the disgrace and penalties of the
criminal caught and convicted.
One afternoon not long ago two men
were detected trying to force an entrance
into the home of G. II. Schmidt, in Lex
ington Avenue, Passaic. They were caught
The police were astonished when they
looked at one of the burglars. He said his
name was Fischer. He was dressed fash
ionably. Fischer protested with the dig
nifty of United States Senator that sure
ly there was some mistake" and looking
from foot to cap Of the policeman, drew
himself up and said, How dare you p"
several times with such excellent posture
that the policeman for the moment quailed
before the show Of Indignation.
Int CLutI man, W no Sdlu ne was GuSt3V
Holt, made poorer appearance and look
ed suspiciCusly like person who might
not hesitate to enter house by other
means than doors. But the evidence was
all against them. They had made such a
palpable effort to break into the house that
Fischer's clothes, politeness, and plausi-
bility counted for nothing
Yesterday a reporter talked with him in
his cell. Fischer was much depressed. At
last he seemed to realize that he was in
the grasp of the law. He spoke in the tone
that indicated that all his respectability
lay in his memories. and he could not re-
sist, in his humiliation, reaching back aft
er them. as a man, borne out to sea by a
fatal tide, struggles back toward the shore
He said: Il am all right, am a victim of
circumstances. When l lived in Ridge
wood no one could say a word against me
My family are away now visiting. Ny ar

that / have lost all my money, but it was
an honest loss. Whoever says / am a pro-
fessiOnal crook lies. / do not even know

Facts brought to light since the mans
conviction have confirmed the story he
Tells Those who knew him recently re-
garded him as gentleman. His downfall
is great shock TO them; yet none have
been found who know much of him prior
to two or three years ago.

A BOY SHOOTS HIS SISTER
The Police Unable to Find the Youtb-
full Offender

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-WhiIe .pIavine
Soldier Charles Parretta, eleven years old
nearly killed his sister Rose, eight wears
DID, yesterday with a breechloading shot
gun. The children lived with their pa-
rents, Mr.. and Mrs. Angelo Parretta in a
neat little frame cottage. in Fountain Ave
nue., near New Lots Avenue. BROOKLYN. Mr..
Parretta is well-to-do fruit dealer
The gun which caused the accident was
one that Mr.. Parretta used for hunting. and
only last Saturday he was out with il on
the meadows behind the house. When he
returned, he stood it up in one corner of
the kitchen, but neglected 10 take out the
loaded shells
Charles saw the gun standing in the cor
ner. and the idea was suggested that he
and his sister play soldier. He picked up
the gun and the two marched around the
kitchen. to the accompaniment of an old
tin pan. which served as a drum.
Finally the boy said it would be a good
idea to play spy. He would be the soldier.
and his sister would be the spy That was
thought to be a good suggestion also.
Charles captured the spy and decided that
the proper punishment ought to be death.
Standing his sister up against the kitchen
wall, he pointed the gun at her and pulled
the trigger. The weapon was discharged.
and Rose fell to the floor with a charge of
shot in her left shoulder. The boy ran out
of the door, Mortified at what he had done.
Mr.. and Mrs. Parretta rushed into the
kitchen. and discovered Rose lying on the
kitchen floor, with large wound in her
shoulder. They called for Charles. but the
boy had disappeared. Running as fast as
he could to nearby drug store, Mr. Par
retta sent in a call for an ambulance. Am
bulance Surgeon Rutz was on the scene
IN few moments. The entire charge Of
shot had entered the girls shoulder. he de-
clared, and she was in a very serious con-
dition.
Detectives Kaiser and Clougher. OF the
Liberty Avenue police station, were put on
the case, but were unable to find the boy,
who is believed to be hiding in the mead
ows near the house.
