e. IODINE LATHAM GOES FREE,
Arranged Things So We Can't Get at Him,
snaps Counsel for Alleged Victim.

The charge Of forgery made against
Everett Bodine Latham by Lee Agnew,
the New York business agent of the Chicago
Record Herald and the inventor Of an
auto mailing machine, was dismissed by
Magistrate Olmsted In the jefferson Market
police court yesterday for lack o. evidence.
The check for 5000 on the hmckerbocker
Trust Company, the certihcation Of which,
It was alleged, was forged and which should
have furnished the principal evidence
against the defendant, was not presented
in court. Agnews counsel said that 1t
was still locked up in the Nassau Bank
safety vaults, to which Latham and ths
complainant had keys
In order to get at the check the com
plainant had subppnacd the superintendent
Of vaults of the Nassau Bank. That Of
fcer refused positively 20 have the vault
opened bv force because 1t had beon rented
by Latham and Agncw together, and by
interfering on behalf Of one party TO the
agreement he would make himself Liable
10 tho other. Magistrate Olmsted sus.
tanned him and also refused to issue an
order for the opening OF the vault NOT
did tie Magistrate feel that he could order
the defendant 20 glvc up the key In his
possession, a. that would bc equal 10 com.
polling him 70 give evidence against him

pany with President Carver and Secretary

ably be erected. Mr.. Bell said yesterday
that while but little time remained until

argued that ordinances fixing rates wers in
the nature Of contracts for the term OF
thirty years.
In the case Of the Freeport company the
rate of $I0 for each fire hydrant was first
fixed by ordinance. but It was reduced by
a subsequent ordinance to $50. The water
company attacked the validity of this orlii-
nance, and took the case into the state
courts. The Illinois Supreme Court decided
against the company. holding the ordinance
reducing the price Of water to be valid.
The opinion Monday sustained the finding
OF the State court. Justice McKenna, ia
handing down the opinion, said the State
statutes were ambiguous but that II had
been thought advisable to decide that am.
biguity in the interest Of the public.
A dissenting opinion was handed down
by Justice White on the ground that the
nrst ordinance was a contract. In this dis
senting opinion. Justices Brewer. Brown
and White concurred. The opinions in all
the other cases were on similar lines.
The court reversed the decision Of the
Supreme Court of the District Of Columbia
In the case of Throckmorton vs.. Holt. in
volving the validity Of the will of the late
Judge Advocate General Holt The Distric:
Court threw the will out. It will now BE-
necessary to retry the case.
The Porto hcan case was not decided
by the Supreme Court to-day. The court
adjourned until April g.

Will Be Sent to New York
Tournament.

Chief of Police Kiely has decided to sen>t
representatives of the department on to
New York to participate in the shooting
contest among the delegates of the various
police departments Of the United States
which is to be held the latter part of April.
Rosser Roemer, the department, drilmas-
ter. was in consultation with Chief kiely
Monday afternoon to make arrangements
for the selection of the delegates which
will represent St. Louis. Practice will be-
gin Tuesday in a downtown shooting gal
lery, where the records of the different Of
ficers will be kept. The principal contests
will be in pistol shooting. For the first
two weeks no appointed time will be made
for practice. The officers can shoot vhen-
ever they find the time. When the time is
ripe representatives from the various Gis-
tricts, as many as they wish to send, will
assemble at the gallery to compete. The

RAILROAD COMBiNE
is NOW PROJECTED,
George ]. Gould Is Said to BE
About to Become the Head of Il
$300,0G0,GG0 Organization.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York, March 25.-George ]. Gould
is about to become the head of a combina-
ton of railroads with capitalization OF
$500, 100000.
This step meets with the approval and
has the cooperation of ]. Pierpont Nor
gan, the Rockefellers and the Hartman
syndicate.
This will place the young president of
the Missouri Pacific system in the frcnt
rank Of railroad magnates controlling vast
interests and great systems of transpocta-
tion. 1t will furnish Missouri Pacific with
direct link from the Gulf to the Pacific
Coast.
All that Mr.. Gould deemed necessary be-
fore formally announcing his plans was a
personal interview with ]. Pierpont Nor
gan and the representatives of the Rookie
felIer and Hartman interests. The first of
these interviews. it is understood, took
place Monday.
The main object of these important con-
ferences is the settlement of a plan of
financing the scheme of the Gould-Harri-
man syndicate for the combining of the
great systems of railroads leading from the
Northwest to the Gulf. These are now con-
trolled by William Rockefeller. George ].
Gould, E. II. Hartman, Kuhn. Loeb & Co.
and other interests.
railroads under the control of the Missouri
Pacific will include the Missouri Pacific. st.
| Louis and Iron Mountain St. Louis South
| western, Texas and Pacific. international
| and Great Northern. Wabash, Missouri,
Texas and Pacific and the Denver and Rio
| Grande. George Gould has just bought a
| controlling interest in this latter railroad.
1t is known definitely that the roads
!, named will be included in the scheme of
| consolidation. but it il probable that when
the negotiations now pending shall have
been completed it will be found that the
! list will have been augmented by the addi-
ton of the Illinois Central. Chicago and
Alton, Chicago and Eastern illinois. the
st. Louis and San Francisco and the Kan
sas City Southern.
