The trial Of Harvey S. Rogers, an
employee of the Minneapolis postoffice,
charged with rif1ing the United States
mails. was taken UP yesterday in the
United States circuit before Judge
Munger.
Rogers is charged with having ex-
tracted from the mails on Aug. 10 two
"test" letters that had been placed in
the mails by Inspector H. T. Gregory.
These letters, with thirty-seven others,
were found in Rogers apron, carefully
concealed in his locker on the day they
were placed in the Office.
Pleads ignorance of Letters.
After Rogers had finished his work
on that day he was taken into the Of
flee of Assistant Postmaster Hughes
and there searched. Nothing was
found on his person, but his apron con-
tanning the letters that had been pre-
pared was Immediately produced. He
identified his apron, but pleaded ig-
norance of the presence of the letters
in it.
Room Examined by Jurors.
Before the taking of any evidence
yesterday afternoon the jury was or
dered taken down into the postoffice
room where Rogers was employed, in
order that they might get an idea of
the location of the different cases, and
have d better understanding of the
testimony when it was given.
The government will attempt to
show that Rogers rifiing of the mails
has been conducted in a carefully
planned manner for the past two or
three years.
Rogers stoutly denies his guilt, and
claims that he cannot account for the
letters being found in his apron, and
also that there has been occasions
when his apron was worn by others
in the Office.

The result was that the snap shots
published of Mr.. Schwab on the fol-
lowing morning did not make him look
like gloomy gorilla or slouching
criminal, but like a cheerful, self-con-
tanned man Of the world.
Mr.. Schwab seemed to have the right
end of this Photographic business, as
the saying goes. The celebrities might
just as well stand and deliver to the
persons with the cameras. They are
inevitably going to be photographed
somehow or another, and before long
they will unquestionably realize that
when they are presented in the picture

for long time, now the joke is on

CAPITAL TWO BILLIONS
ONE OF THE BIGGEST OF RAIL.
ROAD COMBINATIONS
Pennsylvania and Vanderbilt interests
Said to Have Formed an Alliance
Their Designs Is to Protect Them
selves in the Coal FieIds-Large
Number of Eastern Lines involved.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. ia To-
cal paper prints the following:
A financial alliance has been formed
by the two great factors in the East
ern railroad field, the Vanderbilt inter-
ests and those of the Pennsylvania sys-
tenn.
: The new combination grew out of a
competitive movement Of several
months ago. The two big interests
were mutually interested in the BIZ
luminous coal fields, and in the hard
coal fields as we'll. The PENNSYLVANIA
system predominated in the former
and the Vanderbilts in the latter. By
an understanding the Vanderbilts
yielded the soft coal fields to the Penn
sylvania in return for a similar con-
cession on the hard coal from the
Pennsylvania
The Eastern field was threatened by
All invasion first by the Goulds and
later by the Grand Trunk railroad, and
these big financial interests wanted to
preserve the territory for themselves,
and the ties that had been formed
by the coal deal were strengthened in
the endeavor to protect the Eastern
field. The interests Of the two big
houses We're growing gradually to-
gether, and soon resulted in an under
| standing such as has been now reach
ed.
The combination Of interests makes
one Of the biggest deals that has ever
been seen. To consider the vested
rights Of the two big houses east of
Chicago, to say nothing of their prop
erty west Of that point, gives them a
capitalization Of over $2,oo0,0o0,000 and
mileage of over 10000.
The roads included in the combina-
ton are the New York Central, Penn
sylvania, Baltimore & Ohio, Chesa-
peake & Ohio. Norfolk & Western,
Philadelphia & Reading, Lake Shore,
Plate, Boston & Albany. Baltimore &
Ohio, Southwestern, Pere Marquette,
Hooking Valley and Lake Erie & Vest
ern.

OTTUMWA, Iowa, Sept 13.-The
street car strike is assuming a serious
aspect. The blacksmiths in the en-
ploy of the company struck today. The
city depends upon the street car plant
for electric power, which may be shut
off.
Not wheel was turning on the
street car system of the OttumWa
Traction and Light company at $50
o'clock tonight, after a wild hour of
smashing car windows, cutting trolley
wires and other damage to property of
the company by the mob. All the men
finally were induced to leave or We're
driven from the cars with stones. One
motorman was hurt by flying missiles
and several arrests were made.
The mob was dispensing at midnight,
but if an attempt shall be made to run
the cars tomorrow, trouble probably
will follow.
