Mr.. MUDD'S EXPLANATION
WHY HE OPPOSED RAILROADING
THE DISTRICT CODE OF LAWS.
He Wants Time to Consider the Mat
ter and Remedy Defects if
Discovered.

Representative Mudd of Maryland has
made the following statement, explanatory
of his attitude toward the bill for the new
District code:
My position upon the matter of the Dis
trct code seems to have been entirely mis-
apprehended in some quarters. 1 am not
opposed to action upon the code by the
House nor to an early and favorable action
upon it.
The Register of Wills Office.
"I want to say, Furthermore, that the
question as to the abolition of the office of
register of wills has nothing whatever to
do with my desire for something like ma
ture and intelligent consideration of this
bill.
Mr.. Dent himself has nothing to do with
it at all. The committee as a unit has
agreed to omit the provision for the aboli-
ton of this office from the code. The SIM
pie fact of the matter is that 1 was un-
willing to consent to the proposition made
to me just before adjournment Thursday
afternoon to have the code rushed through
and passed by the House last night without
having more than one-Quarter or one-fifth
Of it read. To have passed it last night
would not have admitted of anything like
reasonable consideration.
Il had said to certain members of the
bar here who had expressed to me a de-
sire to offer some suggestions in the way
OF modinca lions OF some provisions of the
code that it would not pass at last night
session. Nobody expected that it would.
l had received quite a number of letters
asking for information and making sug-
gestfons upon that portion of the code
which abolishes the office of constable and
amounting to practically an abolition of the
office of justice Of the peace as 1t now
exists in the city.
Il wanted to give some consideration to
this matter and wanted to give Others an
opportunity to confer with me. and this
without desire to prevent action upon
the code or its passage by the House at
this session.

THE CHICAGO & ALTON.
1t May Soon Become One of the Great
Systems of the Southwest.

CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-The Times-Herald
tomorrow will say: Reports coming from
the most reliable sources in railway circles
say that the Chicago g. Alton is about to
become one of the great ratwey systems Of
the Southwest. A few days ago the Harri-
man syndicate bought out the Quincy. Car
Iolltcn & st. Louis. Later this branch was
added to the Alton mileage and subse-
quently it was announced that the line
would be extended to Quincy. This move
1T is now asserted, is made with the direct
object of securing control, or at any rate
to be in a position to absorb the Omaha,
Kansas City 4 Eastern ard the Omaha &
st. Louis roads, of which Charles H. Chap
pelle. formerly the general manager of the
Alton, is one of the receivers. These two
roads have S1s miles of track AS part OF
the Alton system they would furnish an
excellent line from st. Louis to Omaha. 1t
is asserted by persons close to the Alton
management that the Hartman syndicate
has decided to add the Kansas City, Pitts
burg & Gulf line to the system. Again it
is asserted the Alton will soon take in the
Kansas City & Northern, the connecting
railroad running now from Kansas ,rity to
Pattonshurg, eighty-one miles, where 1t
connects with the Omaha & st. Louis, a
former Stillwell road, tc Council Bluffs and
Omaha. With this line the Alton would
establish direct route to Omaha from
Kansas City, only 230 miles long. These
possibilities, which may be realized, would
give the Alton terminals at Chicago, ST.
Louis, Omaha and Port Arthur"

STATUS OF A TRUST.
Its Right to Sue to Be Decided by the
Federal Courts.

CHICAGO, Jan. N.-Judge Kohlsaat, in
the United States Court. has been asked
to pass on the constitutionality of the
Illinois statute which declares that
trust has no right to sue or recover on
any contract made in this State, and his
ruling is expected to be announced Mon
day. The court will decide whether he will
take from the jury the case of the Union
Sewer-pipe Company against Thomas Con-
nelly and William Dee, which is on trial.
The constitutionality of the antitrust
statute in Illinois is being attacked by the
plaintiff in the case, which seeks to re-
cover about $1,000 said to be due from the
defendants on a contract The statute in
question has already been sustained by the
Illinois Supreme Court. but the Federal
Court has never before been asked to de-
eide as to the validity of this law.
1t is improbable, however, that either
party will let the case rest with the rul
ing of Judge Kohlsaat, as both are de-
termined to fight it in the highest court.
The Union sewer-pipe case is said to be
identical in many points with the Addy-
ston Pipe and Steel Company case. This
decision was quoted frequently during the
arguments before John Kohlsaat and the
defendants based their case on the rul-
ing that 'in order to vitiate a contract II is
sufficient to show that 1t tends to deprive
the public of advantages that flow from
competition.
The Union Sewer-pipe Company, of
Akron, o., was one Of the old trusts, while
the defendants are dealers in sewer pipe
in Chicago.

How the Richest Woman in the World
Regards a Business Training.

Hetty Green, in Womans Home Companion
When 1 say that all women should have
business training, l mean women of ali
classes-poor, middling rich and well-to-do
The assertion does not apply merely to
those whose circumstances seem to indi-
cate that they may one day be compelled
to make their own way in the world.
Every class of girl will make a better and
happier woman If she has business edu-
cation, whether her womanhood sees her
maid, wife, mother or widow. 4 have
heard it stated that for woman to get
business training is to crush all the
poetry out of her life. This is sheer nun-
sense. A woman with knowledge of bus
mess appreciates music, painting and the
other finer things of life just as MUCK as
the woman who is ignorant of all business
matters; and the former has the decided
advantage, in that she is able to turn her
knowledge of business into securing more
opportunities of seeing and approaching
these fine things. She can get more tickets
to concerts and art galleries, she viii have
more money to become the possessor of
more beautiful things than woman with.
out business training. and a woman with a
sure income before her feels a great deal
more like studying poetry than a woman
who is compelled TO worry abous her
future bread and butter. / have bee a
business woman for fifty years. and ain
just as fond of pictures and muse as any
one of my age. A business training is
but one more accomplishment added TO
the list which the young woman OF to-day
is expected to acquire and ii is absurd 10
say that its possession will interfere with
the proper enjoyment of any of the other
accomplishments. Then every housekeeper
is a business woman, the degree of her
excellence as a housekeeper being the de-
gree of the business training she was pro-
vided with before she entered upon her
domestic duties The successful and eco
nomical management of the house calls for
the same kind of ability and Judgment
that is necessary TO the successful man.

The shock was felt block from the scene

WOOD At SANTIAGO.
Reception I'm Honor of the Governor
General of Cuba.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Jan. 27.-Govern-
or General Wood, General Chaffee and
Colonel Black arrived at noon after an
overland trip from Manzanillo. Gen. Deme-
trio Castillo headed a party of Cubans
who went by special train to San Luis and
rode from there fifteen miles on horseback
to meet General Wood. A thousand persons
were gathered at the station to meet the
governor generals party.
A peculiar feature of the antagonism of
the Cuban patriots towards the Ameri-
cans is displayed in the effort of the Cuban
Club TO excel the Americans in the demon
stration in honor of General Wood. To-
night a reception and banquet, the most
elaborate ever given here, occurred.
General Wood says that he observed
signs of Improvement the plantations
and in the mines along the route of his
trip. The party will leave for Guantanamo
and the north coast Tuesday morning.

HAVANA, Jan. N.-The Discussion says
the order of Governor General Wood, in
structing military commanders not to in
terfere in the functions of civil authori-
ties except in extreme cases, virtually gives
General Emilio Nunez. the civil governor
of Havana, and not General Ludlow, the
military governor. power in the matter
of the budget. General Nunez says the
matter OF the budget is only one instance
of what will result from his underlined
prerogatives. If General Ludlow be en-
powered to. use his own discretion as to
whether or not he shall attend to certain
matters himself, the position Of General
Nunez as civil governor, it is asserted, will
become farcical.
La Lucha is very indignant over the
cent letter from General Ludlow to the
New York Times regarding the status of
the American military authorities in Cuba
and his own case in particular. The paper
calls the letter insulting and declares that
if General Ludlow were not military gov
ernor of Havana La Lucha would not toll
crate his action.

Long Before Noah,s Time.

BOSTON, Jan. H.-Dr. Lyman Abbott.
discussing Genesis in the course of a
lecture in the Lowell Institute last night,
said his point of view in discussing the Old
Testament was that of modern literary or
scientific criticism. THE Book of Genesis
was supposed to have been written about
1,45O years before Christ said the lecturer.
''but 1t deals with a period twenty or
twenty-five centuries before the time of
Moses. Surprising, then. that Moses wrote
the Book of Genesis, how did he obtain the
facts found in the book? My own opinion"
continued DR.. Abbott, lis that 1t was writ
ten by some unknown prophet sort of
introduction to the Bible" He called at
tention TO the two separate and distinct
acts Of the deluge, and said that to him
Genesis seemed like an edited book rather
than a written book. 1t was known to be
in existence long before the time of Noah.
What were the resources If not legend and
myth?' he asked.
