A TRUST NEEDS MONEY
LINSEED OIL COMPANY
LACKS WORKING CAPITAL.
Price of Seed Has Advanced to $1.SO
BusheI, and S5,O0O.OOO More Is
Required to Carry on Business.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16-The Herald to-
morrow will print the following: "Apropos
of the discussion regarding the American
Linseed Company, President Guy G. Major
yesterday made the following statement:
We have no complaint to make regarding
the condition of the market. The demand
is good and will continue SO, In spite of the
reduced prices, as long as producers of
paint, varnish and linoleum need 1inseed
oil. But when the price of seed has risen
from 81 a bushel, last years figure. to $3.50
a bushel, which is what we pay for it now,
obviously a greater working capital is
needed than was the case before. 1 have
just paid out $4,000 for seed, the oil from
which will not be put upon the market be-
fore February.
The simple fact is that we need more
money than we now have in order to take
care of our business, and we don't hesitate
TO admit it. Last year we used, altogether,
SlO,OOO,OO of working capital. We shall need
TO raise $5,00O,000 more money now. We
are selling our oil at 65 cents now. while
charged 80 cents for it when seed cost
us 81 bushel
'"There is a committee now at work form
ulating plan for raising the needed mill
lions, and il will report TO the directors
at their prospective meeting on Dec. in
cussion. The first is the simple project of
an issue OF bonds. The second involves q
reduction of capitalization. If this plan
were chosen the capitalization would prob
ably be reduced to about $4,000 900, Of
which 900 would represent the stock
now existing, the remaining $5,000.0 600 to
be subscribed for by an underwriting syn
dictate, which could pay for IT in cash at
par, the cash so provided being devoted TO
working capital
1T is by no means likely said President
Major in response to a question, that we
shall consider the method of applying for a
receiver and effecting a reorganization
through a voluntary bankruptcy. AS we
are not defaulting in paying interest on
bonds we have no ground for applying for
a receiver And, then, we own a great
deal of property in Illinois. By the laws
OF that State any holder of ten shares of
our stock could get an injunction against
us, blocking the exchange of stock, which
would be necessary.

at Chicago yesterday, the price for that

PEARL BRYAN'S SKULL
1T IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN
FOUND ON j. b. LOCKS FARM.
Picked Up by Young Man Near
Where the Decapitated Body Of
the Girl Was Discovered.

NEWPORT, KY, Nov. 16.-The finding
of a skull in a grove of privet bushes
on the farm of John B. Lock, in the
body of Pearl Bryan was found more than
four years ago. has led the authorities to
believe that the long missing head, the
one link in the chain of circumstantial
evidence that sent two young dental stu
dents to the gallows, has at last been
found.
The skull was discovered yesterday by
George Girty, a young man. who was pick
ing walnuts. 1t was weather beaten and
porous. indicating that it had long been
exposed to the inclement weather Girty
took his find home, and Sheriff Miller was
notified Deputy Sheriff Plummer, who was
sheriff at the time of the finding of Pearl
Bryans body, and whose indefatigable eff
forts led to the conviction and execution
of her murderers, was assigned 10 the
case. Mr.. Plummer found that the skull
was in many respects one that correspond
ed with the best obtainable description
of Pearl Bryan's, allowing for the protract-
ed exposure to the elements
Especially true was this of the teeth
was gold-flled, and two others, in the
possession of John Darnell, who says
he saw the skull nearly fortnight ago.
and hung IL in a tree, after removing
two of the teeth, also contain gold. This
answers the description of the teeth of
Pearl Bryan, as given by DR.. Gillespie
dentist who treated Pearl Bryan pro-
fessionally at her home in Greencastle,
Ind. The discovered skull is small, and
medical men who have examined 1t pro-
nounce it the skull of woman. Some
parts missing, but there is no doubt
in the minds of experts that it is woman's
skull.
Discovered within a stones throw of
where Pearl Bryan's headless body was
found in the early hours of Jan. 81, 1896,
it leads to the conclusion that the skull
is part of the head of the murdered In
diana girl.
The missing head of Pearl Bryan has
been discovered so often, only to prove
false discovery, that the credulous ac-
ceptation by the authorities of this dis
covery is inducive of the belief that MOTH
ing will be left undone to prove or dis
prove the identity of the skull

TERRE HAUTE. Ind, Nov. 16.-The In
diana miners this evening broke away from
the hosting engineers and notified the
operators that they are ready to mine coal
il competent engineers are employed. The
United Mine Workers have been trying to
convince the engineers for two days that
they would loose the strike. President
Van Horn, of the miners, issued the fol-
lowing statement to the operators:
I'VE shall order local committees to noti-
fy engineers to return to work. we oe-
sire that the old engineers hold their jobs
If they will not return, we are ready 10
work with engineers you may employ, but
they must be members of the United Mine
Workers of America. If they are not men,
bers of any union they will be accepted IN
the United Mine Workers. If they are
members of the Engineers Union their
card will be accepted by the United Mine
Workers"
President Van Horn said: "Our action is
for the protection of the engineers, ana
1t was the only thing we could do to
save them Matters had come to crisis,
where if we had held out longer. they
would have lost not only all they have
been contending for, but their jobs as well.
/ don't know how they will like 1t, put
they will have to like it, as far as that
goes"
1t is the opinion of operators and miners
that this step will result in bringing the
engineers under the jurisdiction or the
United Mine Workers, and 1T is believed
that most of the engineers now on strike
will come into the older and bigger or
ganization. The action Of President Van
Horn was advised by National PRESIDENT
Mitchell, and was due to the decision oil the
operators at a meeting held here to en-
ploy other engineers and then call upon
the miners to perform their wages con-
tract which runs until April next Chef
Taylor, of the engineers, says the Illinois
operators signed the scale with the condi-
ton that it also should prevail In Indiana,
so it will be seen the question Is hkeiy
to be reopened in the former State.
Before the action was taken by PreSl-
dent Van Horn, the operators had Of
fered to concede the shorter day TO the
engineers, and the engineers had offered to
concede that the scale year should run
from April to April, the same as the min
ers' year. but that is off now. 1t Is ex-
pected that many mines will be IN opera
ton tomorrow morning.

of what was to have been a ten-round go

A sharp right hook under Parker's left

Parker looked strong and was holding his
own against the Baltimore man. He
proved himself able to break through
Gans's guard and had landed several good
punches on Gans's body.
At the beginning Parker appeared
nervous, but soon gained confidence which
later developed into self-confidence and
he was right up against Cans sparring
for an opening when the finish came.
