Victoria, R. c. April 14.-Ohi-
GERS of the cable station at Bamfield
Creek are sponsors for a story that
a sea serpent from, 4oto 80 feet
long and with a head like horse,
has been seen off the station. The
cable operators say in letters to the
local newspapers that Indians had
been telling of the existance of a
sea serpant, but the stories were
not credited. David Osburn, one
of the officials, says that a week
ago the animal was seen from the
cable station to rise big horse-like
head and swim out from the mouth
of Bam6eld Sound. Y !.
Mr., Godson of the cable staff,
says that when he frstsaw the ami
NAL it looked like massive sea
weed, but presently be saw thehead
elevated, and the big serpent moved
off, toward the sea. Mr., Godson
says it moved OFF with the speed of
a torpedo boat. On April 10 an.
Indian saw-the thing and was so
frightened that he ran his canoe
into the breakers, left it and fled
along the beach to the cable station
The Indian said the thing had a
head shaped like horse and it's
body, ten feet of which was lifted ,
was the size of a barrel. The Indi-
ans in the neighborhood are terri
fed.

New York, April 14.-In conse~
quence of threats made by her hus-,
band thal if she were not at home
when he returned he would kill her
and their 3-year-old daughter, Mrs
Charles Josger, ofBrooklyn, sought
refuge in the house of her sister.
when Joeger reached home last
night he found the rooms deserted.
Infuriated he ran from the house
and hunted in different places for
his wife. Every body denied having
seen her, but he waited and watch
ed at his sister-in laws door until
he heard the voice of his child at
play with other children. Burst
ing in the door, he knocked his
wife against the wall and grabbed
his daughters legs as she flew to.
her mothers arms. Mrs, Joeger
fell upon her knees and begged him
not to injure the child.
Shouting curses at his wife and
still holding the child by the legs
he swung the little body around his
head and brought her head down
with crushing force upon the stove.
He dropped the child then and
shouted at his wife, "Its your turn
next" He then ran away and
going to friend handed him $5
and told him to hurry and get a
doctor, as his little girl had been
hurt. A doctor was called in. said
the child's skull had been crushed
in many places and that she could
not live,
Joeger was caught shortly before
midnight hiding in the home of
his brother. He said he did not
know anything about the injury Of
his child.

cision in the case of the Northern
Securities Company, while a stag
gering blow to railroad com bina-
ton. will be more far reaching in
its effect.
In his briefs for the defendants
former Attorney General John w.
Griggs said that an adverse deci-
sion would '.taint with illegality
unnumbered millions of capital
stock and bonds issued upon rail-
road mergers and connections, and
that financial chaos would result"
Griggs has apparently nothing
to withdraw from that prophecy.
In an interview published today
Griggs said the decision was totally
unexpected and revolutionary.
''Do you hold" Griggs was asked,
"that this decision covers other rail-
road consolidation, euch as the.
Pennsylvania 8 control of the Balti-
more and Ohio and the Central's
ownership of the West Shore?"
81 can see no distinction what
ever,' said Mr.. Griggs. ST do not
wish to be quoted as saying any
thing that will ipjure railroad val
uee, but there is big principle in
volved.
''It the decision stands the ad-
ministration will be forced to in
struct the attorney general to pro.
ceed against every railroad and
trade consolidation affecting compe-
tition that has taken place in the
last 13 years.
Eyes, the absorption by the New
York, New Haven and Hartford of
several railroads and lines of steam
ships is case in point. The South
Iern Pacific is net railroad compa.
ny, but a stock-owning organization.
And how about the United States
Steel Corporation?
'.These are in exactly the same
position as the Northern Securities.
And if the administration is forced,
as have said, to proceed against
all the trust companies, what will
be its political fate?
"The decision is full of vitality in
teresting suggestions. Just think
what the decision means to the de-
velopment Of the country. There
is hardly consolidation possible
that does not touch competition
somewhere. .
| There will be numerous confer
ences at once between financiers
and railroad men directly interest
ed in the decision. Steps will be
Immediately taken for an appeal.
1t is thought year must pass he
fore the supreme court will finally
decide the case.
Frankfort, KY, April 15.-Frank
Cecil, the recently-surrendered fu.
gitive witness, was the star witness
in the Howard case today.
His evidence was sensational.
He said he met Caleb Powers the
day before Gov. Goebel was killed
Powers. and later Governor Tay-
lor, asked him 10 kill Goebsl, and
offered him $2,5oO and a full par
don.
When he refused the governor
said:
eff you ever reveal what have
said you will never live to tell
it on the witness stand" Powers
said he had arranged to have a man
arrive the next day to do the kill
| ing.
He told him Youtsey had offered
to do it. Cecil said he had delayed
surrendering because he was afraid
if he told the truth he would be
killed.
