likewise wholesome teachings looking to

the multiplication thereof.

Il rightfully receiving the thoughtful con-
sideration of practical thinkers and work
ers throughout the civilized world

Gently deceased and universally beloved
President, William Mckinley, to the end
that they may grow as he grew, to prove
beneficence 10 succeeding generations
and stand as natures monuments in MEM

The time will be prOpitiOus for giving

to awaken general interest in river and
harbor improvements and TO bring the com
mercial bodies which are represented here
into closer touch with legislation upon this
subject. l am informed IL is not desired
that any specific project shall be advocated
here. but at the same time you consider
the Improvement OF the naVigable channels

With this view IL is in your power 10 edu-
cate public opinion and TO organize enorts
for the enactment of legislation which shall
be national in it's scope and for the dement,
of the whole people.

CHICAGO. oct. s.-Anderson Valentine.
treasurer OF Armour & Co. to-day put a
ouietus on the reports Of a prospective
consolidation Of the leading spirits in the
big packing industry. He disposed of the
proposition so far as his firm is concerned
with the declaration that Armour a co.
rnigbt exnand but that they would never be
absorbed Representatives OF Nelson Nor
ris & Co. Swift & Co. and the Hammond
estate who together with Armour * Co
constitute the Big Four" were equally
emphatic The total absence OF any rivalry
between these concerns. amounting appar-
entity TO an understanding, was admitted.
but insistence was made that this would
not under any circumstances lead To the
formation OF a practical trust IN the beef
trade.
The reports Of an intended consolidation
were based. IL appears. upon dispatches
from Sioux city. Ia; Fort Worth, Tex.
and other points that Swift 4 Co. and
Armour x Co. had Jointly purchased sites
for stockyards.

Err MANUFACTURERS.
Visitors Entertained by the Indiana
Manufacturing COmpany-A
Social Session.

The National Association of Thresher
Manufacturers and Jobbers began it's an
nual convention in the parlOrs of the Ho-
tel English yesterday morning at 10 o'clock.
About seventy-five delegates answered the
call of the roll. The meetings yesterday.
both morning and afternoon, were closed
to the public.
When Mr.. Joseph X. Sharpe, jr.. secre-
tary of the Indiana Manufacturing Com
pany, was asked last night for informal
tion concerning the convention he said:
Really, we did not transact any business
in which the public would be interested.
The greater part of to-day's sessions has
been given up to listening to reports of
various permanent committees. The truth
of the matter is the threshers hold these
annual meetings more for the purpose of
getting acquainted and having a good So
ciaI time than to transact business Many
of the delegates are getting great deal
of enjoyment out of the Country Club golf
links"
Promptly at o'clock last evening the
convention adjourned to the private dining
room on the second floor of the hotel, where
the delegates found an elaborate dinner
awaiting them. Tables sufficient to ac-
tOulUlOudle a HuuuItu GUESTS TeUeCIeu from
silver and cut glass the radiance of scores
of electric lights Cut flowers were ar
ranged about the room and on the tables
artisticaly and in the greatest prOfusion.
In the hall outside an orchestra discoursed
sweet music from behind a screen of nat
urdl plants. There We're no speeches. and
the only requirement that Messrs. McKain,
Sharpe and Sloan eXacted of their guests
was that they partake heartily of the ee-
giant feast arranged under the supervision
of Manager Cunningham. The progra NINE
OF entertainment for the day concluded
with a visit 10 Englshs Opera House.
where the threshers enjoyed the Ouida
dramatization. Under Two Flags.
The final business meeting of the assO-
citation will be held this morning and at
noon the delegates Will again be guests OF

MAY ABOLISH ALL PASSES
THE NATTER TAKING 4 MORE DEFI-
MITE FORM IN STRONG HANDS.
Annual Report of Cincinnati, Hamil-
ton ~ Dayton-Increases i'm Passen-
ger and Freight Earnings.

The committee appointed by the Central
Traffic Association. the Western Passenger
Association and the Trunk Line Associa-
ton one year ago has unanimously re-
ported that all passes should be abolished.
even the courtesy pass Of one president OF
a road to another This action will be re-
ported to the association for ratification.
The committee consists of w. n. Newman,
James McCrea, w. II. TruesdaIe and s. NJ.
FELTON,. After the meeting President Trues-
dale. OF the Lackawanna, said regarding
the proposed action: "The idea is to shut
down on all passes This is the only coun-
Try in which the free-pass system prevails.
and there appears ~ be no good reason to
continue it. The railroads disposed of the
question of issuing passes to influence
traffic some time ago. and now an effort
will be made TO weed out the pass custom
entirely"
Steps toward the abolition Of the pass sys-
tenn have been under consideration for sew
eral years by the officials of the more i'm
portant roads. The adoption of the new rule
will affect many thousands of persons who
have been the benefciares of the railroads
for reasons too numerous to mention. Mem
bers OF state legislatures, congressman,
OiAAISb states StHdlOTS, state anu county
and municipal officials. politicians and the
employees of some newspapers have been so
accustomed to riding on annual passes that
a failure TO receive the little cards will ex-
cite their surprise. The newspapers of the
large cities, however, have TO large eX-
tent discontinued the practice of asking or
receiving passes
one OF the strongest reasons advanced by
railroad managers for shutting down on the
free-pass system is supplied by the railroads
themselves. They have been issuing thou
sands of family passes to minor officials of
railroads in addition TO exchanging passes
with the presidents and superintendent of
other roads until there seemed to be no end
10 the demand. The abolition of the custom,
IL Is said, cannot decrease the amount of the
passenger business of any railroad while
the prospect of an increase in receipts will
be encouraging under all circumstances.
As these three associations include every
railroad OF any consequence in the country,
the 'dead-head" tourist will see hard times
ahead of him. No exceptions are to be
made in the new policy to be adopted.

THEKRAG-REYN0LDSCASE
SUPREME COURT KNOCKS OUT FIRST
AND SECOND MORTGAGES.
Claims Amounting to $4,000 Secured
by First Mortgnee-AppelIate
Court Decision.

The much-discussed first and second
mortgages executed by the Krag- Reynolds
Company just before its failure, about four
years ago. were knocked out by the SUI
rreme Court yesterday. Claims to the
amount of $4,000 were secured by the
first mortgage. These claims were held
by local banks, bank at Chicago and one
at New York; also by certain officers and
stockholders of the company. Alfred B.
Gates and Nicholas Mccarthy Harrison
held two of these claims, which were in
the shape of notes for $4,000 each. given
for the preferred stock hold by Messrs.
Gates and Harrison. The second mort
gage secured other creditors holding claims
aggregating $226.22s The Superior Court
of Marion county held both these mort
cages invalid. but this decision applied only
TO owners of preferred stock who were
secured under the first mortgage. The
Supreme Court held that first mortgage
was totally invalid on account of fraud
perpetrated in attempting to secure owners
of preferred stock. Aside from this the
judgment of the lower court was affirmed.
The effect of the Supreme Courts decision
is to permit all creditors of the defunct
wholesale grocery house to participate in
the assets share and share alike.
Under a decision of the Appellate Court
handed down yesterday the banking house
of Meyer * kiser loses $1,000 which was
paid by the Indiana National Bank to
Thomas B. Hornaday a check made by
Meyer & Kiser to Volney j. Dawson, whose
Endorsement was forged by Hornaday. The
check represented the amount of a loan
made 10y the banking firm TO Hornaday,
alias Dawson, on a piece of property
claimed to be owned by him. The Appellate
Court held that since Meyer * KiSer were
deceived by Hornaday into believing he
Dawson they could not blame the
bank officials for being similarly deceived.
