Private cars are also on the list to
be bought by the syndicate. These
are the cars owned by the various pri-

big meat packers in Chicago and in
the Missouri river cities al / own a ma

hicle companies and manufacturers in
other lines also own many of their
cars and all are to be purchased by the
com bination- On these cars the rail-
roads over which they are operated
pay mileage. running in some cases as
high as II cents a mile. If the rail-
roads owned these cars they would
have this mileage, which in the aggre-
gate is immense. just how the own
ers of private cars are to be induced to
give up their property is not known.

plan that will be satisfactory to the
interests on the other side.

The kidnapping theory is not enter
tanned SO strongly by the police. They

and possibly injured seriously, If not
fatally. Still another theory of young
Barnard'S disappearance is based on
the fact that he was shot a year ago
while resisting highwaymen. Both

L. Crane, of Brookline, was accident
ally killed during a boxing match
with his closest friend, George r.
Ainsworth, in the latter's room in
Craigie, Harvard college, Saturday
afternoon. There We're a number of
Harvard students present at the time
indulging in friendly matches, and the
knockout blow was entirely unexpect-
ed. The circumstances are best ex-
planned by the following statement
made by Ainsworth: AT 3:35 this
afternoon | was sparring with Mr..
Crane. We had SPARED about three
minutes when | touched Mr.. Crane
with the back of my glove upon the
face. He sank back against the man

unconscious. \ doctor was sent for
and arrived in eight minutes We
worked on him for half an hour when
aontker physician arrived. Both doc
tors pronounced him dead. The med

police were notified"
AinSworth is a sophomore in the
Lawrence scientific school. Crane
was not student, but lived next door
to Ainsworth in Brookline. Those
present in the room at the time were

Ainsworth was not a heavy one and
should not have sufficed even to knock
