LEHIGH VALLEY R. r.
LOSES ITS HEAD.
President Walter Resigns, the Re-
sisnation to Take Effect
November 3Oth.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, November 10
Alfred Walter, president of the Lehigt
Valley railway. has resigned. to take
effect November 30th. Differences OF
opinion regarding the management of the
company are assigned as the reason.
The resignation Of President Walter
was presented to the Board OF Directors
of the Lehigh Valley Company. which
met this afternoon. 1t was the hrSt
meeting of the board that President War
ter had attended for some time. When
the directors had assembled. President
Walter arose and said: Gentlemen. l
hereby tender my resignation as presi-
dent Of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Co,:,-
pany," and Immediately left the room.
President Walter went al once to New
York. None of the directors would dis
cuss the resignation. There has been
much criticism recently of the manage
ment of the road and President Walter
has several times felt called upon TO de-
fend his policy. The adverse comment
on the companys affairs has had the
effect OF lowering the price OF the stock.
Following the announcement of Mr.. Wal
ter's resignation the stock became quite
strong on the local exchange.
FINANCIAL POLICY
In financial and railroad circles the pre-
eli HIAnciat lo;lcy Oh the LenlSh EaileS
Railroad Company is believed to be the
cause of the differences" said to exist.
President Walter in his last annual re-
pert for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1902, recently published, announced that it
would be necessary to adopt some finan-
cha! plan by which funds might be secured
from other sources than the net earnings
OF the company, to meet the opera ting
expenses, which have frequently been 50
great as TO result in a deficit instead of a
profit. It is believed the presidents sus
gestion did not meet the approval of the
management
Rumors have been circulated that an
issue OF S1000.000 collateral mortgage bonds
haG been recommended, but it could not De
learned whether such action had been TAX
en- at to-day's meeting. The mortgage
provides for the issue Of SIS. coo OF bonds.
$1,000, 600 TO be issued at the rate OF not
more than 81, 0oo000 in any calendar year,
commencing with 1900.
The recent attack upon President Walter
and the management by a. E. Cottier, a
large New York stockhoder, it believed
here to have no bearing on President Wal
ter's retirement, as Mr.. Walter is said to
have been in accord with Mr.. Cottier S
views

RESIGNATION ACCEPTED.

NEW YORK. November 19.-T. W.
Hume. assistant real-estate agent OF the
Lehigh Valley railway, to whom all in
quiries concerning President Walters re-
signation were referred. said this after
noon that he was authorized to say that
President Walters resignation was ac-
cepted to-day, to take effect November
30th. and that the reason for the step was
a disagreement regarding the manage
ment. He was asked whether the circulars
sent out in the last few weeks by A. E.
Collier. stakeholder of the road, had
anything to do with the action of Presi-
dent Walter, and said he did not know
that they had.
The circulars. the first of which was
sent. out five or six. weeks ago. and the
last two or three days ago. criticised
President Walters management of the
road, and asserted that the Lehigh va,-
ley was in much better condition than it
was represented to be by President Wal
ter.

STOKES MURDER CASE.


AT the trial Of Marcellus Hatcher in
the Corporation Court yesterday morning
George Price (co!ored) admitted that
he was with Kate Hull on the night of
the killing of John Henry Stokes.
H. NJ. Smith. Jr., counsel for the ac-
cused. is putting the witnesses for the
Commonwealth through a rigid exarlina-
ton. Witness Price was asked if he did
not resemble Davis. II do not know
whether I look like Davis or not" re-
sponded the witness.
Under the rigid examination Of Kate
Hull. Rosa Hayes and Hulda Foster. it
appeared that other negroes than Davis
were with the women on the night of the
murder.
The fact that Price admitted that he
was with Kate Hull seems to have put
a new phase on the case.
The examination Of the witnesses was
completed yesterday and it is now
thought that the case will be given to the
jury some time to-day, as 1t is thought
that Mr.. Smith will not argue very long
over the instructions.

American people. The cause seems
to lie rather in the failure to see the
Importance of comfort and beauty in
education and to realize the interest
of the American youth in the natur al
as to mistrust the willingness of the
boys and girls to allow trees to grow
unmolested on the school ground.
This is a fragrant misinterpretation of
of the spirit of childhood. With a
better understanding of youthful ma
ture, one sees an easily awakened re
gard for things beautiful and u dis
position to respect and help all we'll
directed activities for the improve
ment of school life.
The strongest reason for school
ground planting is for the comfort of
the teacher and pupils who occupy
the building from seven to nine
months each year. A school house so
situated as wholly to lack protection
for inclement y Gather often subjects
it's occupants to distressing condi-
tions. During winter gales there is
an increasing demand for fuel, which,
though supplied. often does not suf-
fee to keep the building warm. The
teacher is then put to test comtriving
methods by which no pupil shall en-
dure more than his share of the cold, Z,
and by which to maintain the usual
good order during study hours and
provide for indoor recreation at the
rest periods. With the temperature
lowering around the zero point dur
ing a bowling blizzard, one has to
enter country school room to ap
preciate it's discomforts and see its
need of protection.
The winds of spring are almost as
trying as those of winter, and in sum
mer the sun beats down with un-
checked violence. Thus each season
is accompanied by i'll effects for those
who must attend school where the
grounds are exposed. The question
naturally arises: May not the condi
tions be remedied? To this answer
certainly should be that they may.
They have been remedied in some
instances, and can be in others IT
is not too much to say that in nine
cases out of ten exposed school
grounds can be rendered comfortable
by trees planted in wind breaks.

Kansas Is Now Mineral State.

Kansas Is NOW a Mineral State.
Hereafter when any citizen of the
United States makea application to enter
public lands In Kansas under the home
stead laws, lie must make cut an afffda-
Wit that TO the best of his knowledge there
is no salt in the property.
An official order to this effect was is
sued by Secretary of the Interior Hitch
cock. 1t is the first time in the history of
the state that restrictions of any kind
have been placed upon prospective home
stead settlers. The great abundance that
has been found in the state has led the
government to put Kansas under the list
of mineral states.
The difference between a mineral and
non mineral state is-that in the former
public lands can not be taken by a settler
to a greater acreage than strip 800 feet
wide and 1,5OO feet long. In a non-
mineral state a settler can enter upon 16O
acres.
1t is not necessary for an expert to look
over the land and hunt salt. The pros
pective settler should simply ascertain
whether salt springs are present or
whether saline earths crop from any
place.
For violation of this law, the govern
ment will impose penalty of not more
than 200 and five years Imprisonment
at hard labor. and the convicted person
shall be incapable of giving
testimony iii ally court of the
United States until such time as the
judgment against him shall be reversed.
This new ruling has two important
phases: 1t IS in the first place recogni-
ton of Kansas by the national govern
ment experts as mineral state; and it
may be the Inspiration for rich mineral
finds which have heretofore been seldom
looked for when a prospective settler is
hunting for a farm.-Topeha Herald.
