MURDER OF A WIDOW
SHROUDED IN MYSTERY
French City on Threshold of Trial
Which Arouses Interest of En-
tire Population.

NANTES. Dec 10-The trial of NJ
Largetau, a well-born, but penniless
Frenchman, for the murder of a
widow. named DecerOit, began today.
The case is shrouded in the greatest
mystery. Last May woman's body
was found submerged in a marsh near
st. Nazaire, pinned under an extraOr-
binary tripod apparatus. The woman's
false teeth were identified as those be-
longing to the widow DecerOit, whose
home was at La Bogle. The teeth were
the only points Of identification. as the
body was badly decomposed.
For long time after the finding Of
the body the police could obtain no
clue as to her murderer, but finally Lar
getaus. whose home is at st. Nazaire.
was arrested while trying to sell bonds
belonging to the widow. The widow
disappeared shortly before the finding of
the body, and she was known to have
had 10000 francs in cash with her. No
trace of this has been found
The prisoner emphatically denies that
he knows anything about the murder.
Eighty-five witnesses have been called
for the trial.

max in his address on Social and PO-

Speaking of corruption OF the ballot,
DR.. Vernon said:
For a small sum of money votes can
be bought. We denounce the shotgun
policy Of the South. but it is no better
policy 10 point fve-dollar bill at a
man. Then there is often corruption
in the counting Of the votes. This is
largely the condition Of affairs in
America today King George never per-
petrated such wrongs on America as
these we endure.
THE dominance OF the boss is yet
another great peril Of our politics. It
is an easy thing TO control the prima-
ries, and the primaries elect delegates
and the delegates constitute the con-
vention. You cannot vote FOR the man
you want There are great questions
on which we have wished to vote for
fifteen years, bat the boss has never
given US a chance
There is a condition Of things UNI
bearable among a free people. Better
have a monarchy. for then we can puE

RED LIGHTS INCITE

Would Changes Hues IL Tenderloin
District of Chicago.

CHICAGO, Dec. 10.-A new scheme of
reforming Chicago's red light districts
has been suggested by DR.. Walter Dill
Scott, professor Of psychology at North
western University.
Change the color of illumination in
those sections, he said in an address
before his class. and there will doubt
less be a change in the morals of the
community. Red light has a peculiar
effect upon those constantly in its pres
ence.
Prof. John Quincy Adams cites in
stances where a Photographic factory in
France, Illuminated with red light, be-
came SO demOralized by the hilarity of
the workingmen and women that the
color of the light had to be changed.
with the result that all became orderly

Bethel Granite for Union Station.

Unconhrmed statements were made
toGay that all troubles had been settled
in the matter of the substitution of
white granite for marble in the new
Union Station, and the granite is to be
used. The Government experts who
have examined the granite say it is OF
such a pure white that a familiarity
with the difference in stone is necessary
for a person to be able to distinguish it
from the marble. The railroad engi-
neers and the architects deny that much
money is to be saved by the substitu-
ton. the railroads having no desire to
cheaper the construction of the station.
The change, the railroad men said to-
day. would not make a difference of
more than 100000 in an expenditure of
s. 600 900. The officers Of the Washing
ton Terminal Company. which is really
the Pennsylvania and the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroads. assert positively tha+
the reason for the change is to get a
stone more durable than marble They
have had tests made. and found that
marble is not of a proper strength 70

NEW TERMINAL PLANS
DISCUSSED BY B. &. 0
Directors Appoint Commit
tee to Raise Money.
TO SPEND OVER 100000
Net Balance to Washington Branch
Inadequate and More Funds Must
Be Forthcoming.

At the directors meeting of the BalH-
more and Ohio Railroad Company held
in New York, the question of how the
funds required by the Washington
branch for the new terminal at Wash
ington are to be supplied was referred
TO a committee composed OF President
LOree. Charles Steele. of J. p Morgan
& Co.. and Senator Arthur P German.
This committee is to devise some way
for raising the amount of money re-
quired
The Washington branch is a separate
corporation in W lich the State of Mary
land owns $500 shares of stock, consti-
tuting one-third of the whole issue. The
remainder is practically ali owned by
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany. About a year ago the railroad
company bought the holdings of various
individuals at 500 a share.
Cannot Issue Bonds.
The opinion is held that the Washing
ton branch has not the right to issue
bonds or, mortgage its property 10 raise
the sum OF no,isy required. and it is
considered doubtful whether the State
Of Maryland would consent TO such an
arrangement.
This branch. under the law enacted
by Congress. is called upon to spend
some ming over 100000 as its proper
ton of the cost of the Washington ter
minal In preparation for this the an
nual dividends of 10 per cent on the
branch We're suspended some years ago.
and there is now net balance Of about
s., 10000 TO the credit of the Washing
ton branch. This sum is inadequate.
and more money will have to be raised.
May Affect Charter
It is said that the failure TO act under
the law passed by Congress requiring
the construction of the terminal M y
affect the charter of the Washington
Branch In the District of Columbia. The
pressure from this source and the r.
straint as TO mortgaging its property
has produced a complicated problem TO
be solved.
When IL was discussed at the directors
meeting it was decided 20 refer it to a
special committee. Senator German. as
one Of the directors on the part Of the
State of Maryland. is a member Of the
committee. This committee has not the
authority 10 buy the stock held ny the
State of Maryland. although it may rec
ommend this as a means of settling the
question.

among the people and officers of the city
government that the railroads desire TO

and for the simple purpose of earning
dividends. This is entirely wrong
There are no systems in the United
States that take as much pride in their

coaches, and all sorts of rolling stock
and machinery as do the Baltimore and

are not going to slHmp in money IN
