What Did Mr. Ryan Get?

In regard 10 the question as to what
Mr.. Ryan realized On the sale of his Sea-
board holdings TO the Williams syndicate.
the Baltimore American of yesterday
says:
"No official announcement as 10 the
price paid was made, but the street
seemed TO have agreed that report
which placed the figure at S400 share
was the correct one. According TO the
report Mr. Ryan would have obtained
a little over a million dollars for his
holdings.
"Mr J. William Middendorf refused to
divulge the amount paid, but did deny
that s40G a share had been paid. He
added that it was a cash transaction.
Another gentleman interested in the
Seaboard said in Mr.. Middendorf's pres
ence that in agreeing to dispose of his
holdings Mr. Ryan had done no better
that is obtained no better price than
he might have done a year or two ago,
and that. in the meantime, he had con-
ducted expensive litigation. Some months
ago it was understood that Mr. Ryan
had been offered about 5000 per share,
the same price as had been paid origi-
naliy by the SeaboaId interests, but il is
generally believed that the price received
by Mr.. Ryan was an increase on that
figure. The stock. it is said. had cost Mr..
Ryan 1925 share. 1t is pretty safe TO
infer that, Notwithstanding the heavy
ccst of litigation incurred by Mr.. Ryan,
which it is said was taken into cor
sideration by the arbitrator, when he
counts up his net earnings on the trans
action. he will have a very large profit
10 his credit"

LET'S KEEP BOTH RATES

The railroads are again quietly press
ing for legislation that they should not
have, and that is the establishment of
what they call "hat rate of three
cents mile for carrying passengers.
In other words, they are asking per-
mission TO abolish first and second class
rates and charge one rate to all alike.
To begin with. the regulation of rates
is matter for the Corporation Com
mission, and the Legislature will not

are too high and if the Legislature takes
any action at ali in regard to them.
il should reduce them to and 21a
cents But the two rates should not be
abolished. The travelling public do not
desire one rate. The man who travels
second class does so because he wants
the cheapest rate he can get; the man
who travels first class prefers to pay
the difference rather than go second
class. and the railroads ought to be re-

A DEFECT OF THE JURY SYSTEM

Ia a lecture at Yale University last
Friday. on the Duties Of Citizenship,
Justice Brewer of the United States
Supreme court, took occasion to call
attention to our jury system. He said:
THE present jury system is little
more than a relic of semi -civilized sys-
tenn. The Juror is treated as if he were
criminal. or il is feared that ne may
become one. He is watched by day and
is locked up by night / hope the time
viii come when juror will be treated
as IL he were an honest man. He
should have as much home life as the
Judge. who is able to go away when the
case is adjourned. Jurymen should be
adequately paid"
The Indictment is certainly true one.
but the question is how the defect may
he remedied. Did not good men make il
point to escape jury duty, and tho
court assist them in the effort. then the
practice complained Of might oe dis
continued, but as juries are now con-
stituted it is deemed advisable to hedge
them about with all possible prccau-
tions.

her pretty brown hair. The remains of
the hair were found on the floor beside
the girl. partially burned up.
Who did the deed and why he did 1t
are questions whose answer is shrouded
in mystery. No evidences of violence
were found upon the person of the girl
other than the effects of rough handling
@hich the stranger gave her in throw
ing her to the floor. The only evidence
that any attempt had been made to
commit burglary was the fact that the
drawers of bureau had been partially
drawn out, but that is all. Nothing was
taken from the house, and the only in
jury received by Miss Lottie was the
terrible scare given her by man.

the crowd sullenly dispersed. No dis

officials, where local anarchists are

that the presidents death makes it ex-

them to bail. This settles it," said

of the presidents death. I'VE will hold

keep them as long as we choose. We
have no evidence of conspiracy now, but
it's details must be ferreted out and if
we find some we will not be COM

have now. Then too, its the best thing
for them to remain where they are, for
a time at least. What would Emma
Goldman's life be worth on the streets?
She couldn't live two minutes

rison police station said Chief of Po-
lice O'Neill when attention was directed

away for fear of mob violence.
