New York Jan. 1S.-Business has been
begun by the American Thread Company,
the Anglo American concern which has
been formed here to put an end to the un-
satisfactory conditions in the manufacture
of thread.
Although the persons interested in the
formation of the new trust insist that it
is wholly independent, there is reason to
believe that arrangements have been made
by which the profit in thread making Will
be maintained and which may lead ulti-
mately to further consolidation of the
combinations now in existence.
John E. Lawton, vice president of the
English Sewing Cotton Company, who has
taken a leading part in the formation Of
the American company, explained its scope
and plans.
Thread manufacturers have been work
ing in an erratic and irregular fashion for
the last four or five years. said he. The
result was hostility among them, which
brought many of them to the brink of clos
ing This was bad for labor and bad for
the public because il unsettled prices.
They have now followed the example we
set them in England.
This company was Incorporated under
the laws of New Jersey. 1t has $4,000 coo

Fears That IA Sixteen-Gear-OIdH Heir.
es> Wife Was Murdered

Chicago, Jan. 1S.-The Harrison Street
police are searching for Rose Wallace
Gagne, heiress to s4O0, 900 and the bride of
George Gagne. a well-known levee char
acter, who lives by the bail bond business
Mrs. Gagne is only sixteen.
Gagne was arrested last night and will
be held pending AN inquiry The police
fear Rose has been murdered.
Gagne says he married Rose Wallace
three weeks ago, she having fled here to
escape the attentions of an Evansvi lie
clergyman. She is said to have left her
home, at No. 123 Harrison Street, Monday
night TO meet younger sister at train.
She never reached the station and she has
not since been seen.
Gertrude, the younger sister fell into
the hands of the police, who say that if
she had not they never would have heard
of Roses disappearance Gagne's state
ments have been so contradictory, it is
said, that he fell under the suspicion of
the police, and he is said to have made
threats against Officer Woodbridge, who is
fully conversant with the mans career.
Gagne says mysterious people have Wis
tied his place recently, but other occu-
pants of the building deny this. He is flu
riously angry with the police. The police
say that the marriage, if it occurred is
illegal on account of Roses age.
Rose and Gertrude are orphans. The
latter was TO have brought here with her
$50, 600 in currency and $4,000 in dia-
monds, but she was dissuaded from doing
so by an Evansville attorney

ROOSEVELT AND SONG.
He Promises TO Assist the Big
Brooklyn SRenRerfest.

Albany, y. Y, Jan. lS.-Governor
Roosevelt was waited upon yesterday
by delegation representing the German
singing societies of Brooklyn. They are
planning 10 have a big saengerfest of the
United German Singing Societies of the
United States in Brooklyn from June 30 TO
July Z, 1900, and have been unable to find
a hall large enough. One of the armories
in Brooklyn would do nicely but the mill
tary code forbids their use for any such
purpose. The delegation wanted the Gov
ernor to aid them in securing legislation
which would permit him to grant them
the use Of the armory.
Governor Roosevelt told the singers that
for a national occasion such as they pro-
posed he stood ready to favor general bill
which would give him authority to grant
the use of the armoTy. He would not be
ready TO accept legislation, however, which
would open the armories for various mu-
nicipal and local charitable and other gath
erings, believing that it would establish a
bad precedent.

AIMED AGAINST TRUSTS.
Bill Introduced in the New York
Legislature

Albany, Jan. 1S.-The first bill TO be in
troduced at this session of the legislature
aimed at the trusts was presented yester-
day by Assemblyman Joseph l. Green, Of
Manhattan. The new bill amends the
meaningless Lexow bill of 1897, which
rather favored than opposed the operation
of trusts.
The most important feature Of the Green
bill is the final provision, which guarantees
immunity to witnesses. The Lexow bill
was deficient in this respect, as ii did not
protect witnesses who offered evidence
against TRUSTS.
Mr.. Green's bill compels witnesses TO
answer questions relating to the operations
of trusts, but guarantees them absolute
immunity from prosecution.
The immunity clause provides that mo
person shall be excused from answering
