ACCUSED BY J. W. GATES.
Trust Company Charged With Get
ting Money by MISREPRESENTATION

Trust Company Charged With Get
ting Money by INSTRUMENTATION.
KANSAS CITY, Oct 24.-John w Gates,
of Chicago. accuses Arthur E. Stillwen OF
getting $4,000 OF his money by miSrepre-
sanitation. Mr. Gates and his American
Steel and Wire colleagues have petitioned
in the Federal Court here for a receiver for
the Guardian Trust Company The bill
charges that the investors were misled by
false statements OF earnings into putting
money into the concern, and declares that
the company is now in debt for about ST.
000, 900. ,s
Mr.. StillwelI and the trust company are
charged with knowingly and falsely repre-
seating that the assets We're of the actual
value OF $500 000. Accordingly the stock
of the trust company was increased from
81, go. eco to $3.50 coo and sold to invest
ors. Stfllwell and his associates, the bill
says, S.proceeded fraudulently to misap-
ply" the money derived from the sale of
stock.
The trust company is charged with ex-
pending for Its own purposes more than
$500, 600 of trust funds belonging to 9TH
ers. The company. according to the BILL
mixes its trust sums with it's general
funds, and has expended such large por-
lions of its cash that it has not on hand
cash equaling the amount of trust money
due by 1T.
Mr. Stillwen= declares that the Kansas
City suit Is prompted by malice. He said:
Mr.. Gates tried to rule the trust COM
pany and. failing, he is now endeayoring
to ruin 1t. The suit is a personal attack
on me, and an effort to prevent the Orient
Line from being built.
TT will be severe blow to Kansas City
If receiver is appointed for the Guardian
/ Trust Company. The company is in good
financial condition and its prospects are of
the brightest. 1t is not interested in any
way in the Orient Railway enterprise be-
yond acting as trustee, for which 1t is to
be paid.
Il have been particular to keep the af-
fairs of both companies separate and dis
tinct, and the statement that the trust
conpany's money was being used for the
raili DAD is false. Gates and his friends
only own about 10 per cent OF stock of the
Guardian Trust Company
The court granted a Temporary order
restraining the disposition of any of the
trust eompany's assets and against the
holding Of a proposed meeting today. FL
nal hearings will be had today.

YALE PROFESSOR FOR BRYAN.
Republican Policies Regarded as
Dangerous to the Nation.

Republican Poiicirs Regarded as
Dangerous to the Nation.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct. 24-Dr-
George t. Ladd, professor of moral phi
losophy and metaphysics in Yale, has writ
ten an article for the Harvard Democrat. i"
entitled Why Harvard Students Should
Vote for Bryan" He says:
There are at present four great nation
al issues before the people, on three OF
which the Administration has, in my judg-
ment been avowedly and consistently
wrong; only in the fourth has its posi-
ton and influence been right, and this in
a half hearted and vacillating way. These
four ISSUES are. first, Imperialism; second,
taxation and class legislation; third, civil
service, and fourth the currency.
The first and by far the most m0men-
tous in respect of the changes which it is
likely to work in the entire Constitution of
the Republic is Imperialism The Admin
istration has launched the nation upon the
policy Of joining in the contest of Euro
pean Governments for commercial suprem-
acy in the Orient, backing up its conduct
by the armed forces OF the nation. We
have nc need for these distant lands in the
interest Of our internal developments and
no close vital connections with them.
The second great danger to our repub-
Hcan institutions is the use IF the legal
arm of the Government for the furtherance
at home Of the interests of he favored
classes The Chief Magistrate of the pres
ent Administration is the greatest living
representative of this dangerous policy
He has been for years the willing and con
sistent instrument for securing legislation
il the interests of favored classes"

OBSERVATIONS.

Women should remember that be-
tween fattery and praise is a wide
hiatus.
70 be always quarreling is bad, but
to be always agreeipg-brainsw
Bad as most of us are, few of us de-
sire to live next door to a cornetst.
1t requires q wise person to deter
mine whether an admorm lily silent
maxi be knaye, fool or philosopher.
Women will never be associated with
anything nearer to an angel than an
unselfsh man.
A man who is agreea Die at the break
fast table is the ideal man.
The first gray hair is Nature signal
to put on the down-grade brakes.
No matter how clever We are, there
are others cleAer enough to blot our

She is the girl who per uados you |
that to stay at home AMI care for and |
love your own, to help mother and to
nave your pleasures at home and where
the home people can see them, is stupid
md tresome; aud that to spend the
afternoon walking up and down the

She is the girl who persuades you
