READY, START!
An Athletic Event.

You want. everybody wants, brain and
muscle, wind and stamina, and can get
them If fed properly. This is an athletic
age. The man or woman who is weak or
sickly, is not in the race; success socially
OF in business goes only TO the strong and
healthy. 1t is largely a matter of choice
with anyone for proper living, and proper
food will bring the prize.
An athlete in Chicago tells Of the good
results he obtained from proper food; he
says:-'Last spring l began to train hard
to become an athlete in track events and
to grow stronger; / now know that what
strength and victories l have secured is
due to the use Of Grape-Nuts. When in
training for an athletic meet, l would Just
live ON Grape-Nuts alone for three days
before the event was to come on. During
this time / have won six championship
races out Of two athletic meets. In a
300 yard run my time was IS seconds and
In the rs yard dash the time was 8 seconds,
both being a good record.
"Grape-Nuts has given me a stronger
mind and also bodily strength which no
other food could have ION in so short a
time. l have gained strength in a most
remarkable way since using Grape-Nuts.

SHAW SEEKS ELECTION ISSUE
sided, as Voters Have Moth
' " ing to Try. ~

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 2O.-Leslie NJ.
Shaw, secretary of the treasury, addressed
a large gathering at Tomlinson hall in this
city tonight.
He said in part:
About the only time when the American
people study statecraft is during a political
campaign. No campaign should be abusive.
Unless there are issues between the parties
there is nothing to try. IL the only question
involved Is the personnel of office holders,
campaigns might as well be abolished.
Both parties complain this year of great
lethargy and apathy on the part of the
people. The reason is simple. There is no
issue between the parties. The republican
party presents its time-honored principles
Of sound money. protection for American
labor, and a conservatively liberal policy
towards the people ~inhabiting our insular
possessions. Our political opponents pre-
sent nothing in opposition. Gentlemen OF
the jury. there is no case to try.
The only criticism l have to offer tonight
of our opponents is this: "They seem to be
more anxious to discover an issue on which
to win a campaign than to formulate a
policy for wise government. 1t is due an
Intelligent people that there shall be pre-
sented for their consideration at the polls
affirmative principles, progressive policies,
specific measures.

a set Of resolutions to be presented tomor-

with a diamond point, wrote his name on
a glass panel in Booth hall. The panel will
be imbedded in the wall of the library as a
permanent memorial of the occasion.

OPPOSE MORGAN'S MERGER
Kentucky Railroad Commission Asks an
Official Investigation.
EIGHT COMBINING LINES ARE INVOLVED
Charges thai They Seek to Eliminate
Competition aud Increase Rates
over Immense Territory,
to Peoples Hurt. =

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-The Interstate
Commerce commission today made public
the complaint of the railroad commission
Of Kentucky against the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad company, the Louisville &
Nashville railroad, the Southern Railway,
the Southern Railway in Kentucky. the
Southern Railway In Indiana, the Cincinnati.
New Orleans & Texas Pacific Rail COM
pany, the Cincinnati Southern Railroad
company and the Chicago, Indianapolis &
Louisville Railroad company.
The complaint asks for an inquiry as to
whether the contracts between these roads
constitute an unlawful combination. g..
The complaint says the roads cover all
important railroad points and all railroad
lines in a territory aggregating $4,000 miles,
with an operating income of over $50, 600, 900
annually, and charges that ]. P. Morgan
4 Co. have secured practical control and
management Of the affairs.
The capitalization Of the defendant road
is stated to amount to at least 81, 900, 900, 900.
1t is alleged the defendant companies
have not fled with the Interstate Com
merce commission, as required by law,
copies OF the contracts and agreements. It
is charged that arrangements exist amount
Ing to an agreement by which ali freights
Of all the roads shall be pooled SO as 20
prevent competition. AS a result it is
feared rates viii be advanced, communities
Disseminated against and freight will be
routed over one or another line so as TO
maintain increased earnings and create
fictitious earnings to give fictitious values.
The combination, the commission charges,
is in violation Of both the letter and spirit
of the. laws Of the United States and Of the
several states involved.
The Interstate Commerce commission will
Immediately notify alt concerned Of the
complaint and will probably arrange for a
hearing not earlier than December.

LONDON. Oct. 20.-Gerald Balfour, presi-
dent of the board of trade. announced in
the House OF Commons today that an even
ing would be given for the discussion Of
the governments shipping agreement.
The arrangement with the international
mercantile marine, he added, did not in
volve any additional burden on the ex-
chequer.
Mr.. Hamburg, president OF the board If
agriculture, said negotiations concerning
Argentine cattle were not concluded, but
the Importation OF live cattle from that
republic would be permitted so soon rs the
Argentine regulations afforded security
against the landing of diseased animals.
Mr.. Chamberlain, replying to a question,
said the government had not fixed the
sum to be contributed by the Transvaal end
Orange river colonies toward the exp suses
Of the South African war.
William O'Brien moved the adjournment
In order to discuss questions arising from
the case OF former Police Sergeant Sulll-
ven. now in America, who is alleged to have
obtained the conviction of innocent persons
through perjury.
The liberal leader, Sir Henry Campbell.
Bannerman. cordially Joined the Irish in
supporting their demand that the govern
ment fix a day to determine the status of
ireland. Premier Balfour retorted that Sir
Henry's doctrine seemed wholly separatist.
He declined to say il the government
would grant a day.
The galleries were crowded in anticipa-
ton Of a sensational debate on william
O'Brien's motion.
In outlining the Sullivan matter Mr..
O'Brien alleged that Patrick Nolan, one Of
the governments witnesses in a certain
peculation in Dublin and Sligo, although
he swore at one trial that a letter purport-
ing to have been written by Mr.. MacHale,
president Of the United Revolutionary
league, arranging for a murderous outrage,
was in Sullivan's handwriting, yet after
ward avowed that he had been employed to
shield Sullivan from Justice by discrediting
the evidence of other witnesses, and that
Sullivan was guilty Of forgeries.
He said Irish members feared Dublin cas-
tie was trying to hush the Sullivan case
up, but it was of the same class as the Pig
gott forgeries against Parnell. Mr.. O'Brien
alleged the government had packed the Jury
to acquit Sullivan and had then spent an
enormous sum to shelter him from justice.
The attorney general for ireland, ]. At
kinson, charged that the facts of the case
had been misrepresented and tainted Mr..
o'Brien with being too cowardly to bring
this case to the law courts.
Mr.. o'Brien's motion for an adjournment
was rejected by 215 to III.
Mr.. Wyndham explained that 1t was i'm
possible to pass the Irish land purchase bill
this session but said he hoped next session
to introduce a new bill for voluntary ar
rangements between the parties concerned.

There was never any intention OF de-

business on those lines, he said, was free

There was no solicitation or pressure to

expected that so large a number of share
holders would transfer their shares. He
believed that about 1000 shareholders had
disposed Of their stock.
The circular of the Northern securities
company to Great Northern shareholders
was again put in evidence and Mr.. Hill said
and that he personally issued a circular in
answer, telling shareholders it was a matter
for each to decide for himself.
Solicitor General Richards began a cross
examination, first taking up these letters.
Mr.. Hill admitted that all the Great North
ern stock had not been placed in the North
ern Securities company, because It had not
been thought necessary. The price o. the
remaining stock was SO high they lad no
fear Of a further raid. Nearly half the
Great Northern stock cam in, and then a
law suit was started, and after that lie
notified everybody sending in stock of that
fact, that all might act with full informa-

HILL TALKS OF MERGER
CONTINUED from First Page.)

Pacific had Just been reorganlzed and was
not in a position to join such ascheme.
He did not know OF any Great Northern
directors making heavy purchases Of North,
ern Pacific stock in order to control that
line. At the time of the fight for control
he and his friends held from 1888, 900. 900 to
tS5, 900, 900 Of common stock Of the Northern
Pacific. On May 3, after prices were above
par, and it was evident that an attempt to
secure control was under way, he called
the attention of his associates to the mat
ter, and no more stock was sold by them.
The Morgans up to that time had no sus-
picion of any attempt to raid the stock.
He explained that the Northern Pacific
holdings mentioned did not include those Of
J. p. Morgan & Co.
He told how at this time he and his as
sociates first Thought OF placing their
Northern Pacific stock with a holding COM
pany, as was being done with their Great
Northern stock. Nothing definite, however,
was decided on. At that time his party
held some $40. 0OO. 900 and Morgan held about
the same amount. The capital Of the pro-
posed general holding company was first
placed at 800, 000, 900 in the preliminary dis
cussion. Only a few individuals were at
first interested and there was much hesita-
tion over any holding company in which all
Great Northern shareholders might not par
ticipate on. an equal basis. Such action
would mean hat the Great Northern hold
ings would amount TO 1925, 900, 900.
The Morgan and Hill interests in the
Northern Pacific, controlled hat company
after the redemption of the preferred stock.
Then, in estimating the Northern Securities
capital, they thought $500. 900. 900 would suf-
nee, but the amount was finally 1xed It
$500, 900. 900, although the smaller figure was
considered sufficient as late as December,
1901. II was intended, however. 10 cover
everything possible and avoid amending the
articles.
Hopes 60 Save Raids.
After the purchase OF the Burlington and
Of the large blocks Of Northern Pacific
stock. the purpose OF the Northern Securi-
ties company was to put the stock where
II could not again be raided.
Railroad charters, he said. seldom pro-
Vided for buying other companies, and The
organization OF a separate boiling COM
pany would be free from the possibility OF
raids intended TO destroy or hamper the
company. Any other SORT OF plan for con-
trolling the great Oriental trahic would re-
Iult In loss, and possibly to wrecking the
whole enterprise.
Mr.. Hin was again taken our- the ground
II competition with the ocean transporss-
lion companies. and then, recurring to the
holding OF the company he reiterated that
Vhe whole intent and purpose was to pro-
