DEAD MILLlONAlRE'S MONEY

NEW HAVEN, Conn, August 49,
The executors of the will OF the late
Henry Bradley Plant today filed in the
probate court their answer to the az
plication Of Charles Hoadley and j.
G.. Hoadley, Of Washington. for the
removal of the executors. The Hoad-
leys, who are making strong fight
for recognition as collateral heirs in
the Plant estate, which Is said to
amount to $40 1000, 900, alleged that the
executors were wasting the estate,
and that the probating Of the will was
wrongly removed from the jurisdiction
Of the Connecticut court to New
York.
In their reply the executors, who are
Morton F. Plant and Margaret Plant
son and widow Of the late millionaire
and George H. Tilley, of Darien, de-
clare that the applicants have no Pc
| cuniary interest in the estate except
as annuiants under the Will, and thai
the application was not brought il
! good faith. They moved that the pc.
| tition be dismissed.
! A hearing will be held later.

SIX MILLS CLOSE
At M|NNEAP0 OILS

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, August 10
The Anchor and B mills Of the Pills
bury -Washburn Flour Mills company,
and mills G. D r and G of the North
western Consolidated Milling company,
all of which have been running night
and day, have closed.
The closing of the six mills has
probably averted a strike, although the
milling companies do not know it. The
mills were closed because of the short
age OF wheat. E. N. Fairchild, Of the
Pi1lsburg company, said today that he
did not think the Anchor and the b
mills would be closed for any length
of time. Everything would depend on
the wheat supply.
All the mill employees in the city,
particularly those known as "oilers"
and "grubbers'' are dissatisfied with
the present wage scale. There WAS a.
movement on foot for the purpose Of
calling a meeting to formulate de-
mands, and If they were not granted,
to inaugurate strike. The wheat
! shortage has knocked all these plans in
the head.

the accident. Mrs. Wawor is survived

AGED MAN A MARTYR
T0THE CALL OF DUTY
Crossing Watcher Gives His L'fe es
Save Children From
Death,

PITTSBURG, Pa, August 19-A1ter
twenty-five years faithful service 10
the railroad, after five years as watch-
man at the dangerous Homewood ave-
nue. crossing of the Pennsylvania IN
Homewood, "Uncle Nick'' Baker met
death saving a party Of Homewood
children, for whom he had risked lie
and limb hundreds of times. A west
bound freight train crushed and man
gled the old man just as he succeeded
in getting party of three children of
the track.
All Homewood loved "Uncle Nick
Baker. Scores of tots who play about
Homewood avenue owe their lives to
the grizzled old veteran, the martyr or
his watchful care over the little ones.
Since the old man began service at the
crossing there has not been fatality
among all the tots who have played
about the crossing. Only last Fourth of
July he almost sacrificed his life by
running in front Of a train and rescuing
a young woman from what seemed cer-
tain death, and that was only one of
many heroic rescues. The young wo-
man, whose name is Jessie Lamont.
lived near the crossing. She was one
of the first mourners on the scene last
night.
AS the heavy train came laundering
through Homewood last night, the
| watchman saw three children in the
| middle Of the network of tracks. He
| dashed across from his watchman' 9
shanty, got them out of the way, then
| started back to his post, when the train
struck him. The children, returning
when the train had passed, set up a
loud wall, the first announcement of
the discovery of the body.
The news of the little tragedy spread
! quickly through Homewood. Hundreds
| hurried to the crossing. There were
| more sincere mourners at the lonely
! crossing than at many funeral from
q stately East End mansion. The body
! was placed on west-bound train and
taken to Union station, thence to an
undertaker's.
The body was badly mangled. De-
ceased was about sixty years old. His
home was on Broad street, near Euclid

BOY SERIOUSLY WOUNDS CON-
RADE WHILE SHOOTING CATS

ST. PAUL, August 19.-Mike Dellis,
a 12-year-old boy living at 8 Phalen
Creek, was shot in the mouth with a
small calibre rifle, while playing with
his cousin, Elmer Bennett, last night.
The boys were shooting at cats. Ben
net had the rifle, and was holding it In
his hand when it suddenly went off.
The bullet struck Dellis. knocking out
two teeth, and embedded itself in the
back of his throat. The boy Is In q
serious condition from his wound. Dr.
Pail, the attending physician, says the
bullet cannot be extracted for several
days.
The labor world., 1903-08-22

the company were notified by the mu-
nicipal authorities that airholes must
be provided at short intervals, as a
measure Of protection in case of acci-
dent.
The order was not obeyed, and, as
consequence, when the accident oc-
CURED. the other day eighty persons,
who might otherwise have survived,
perished Of suffocation.
Under such circumstances there
seems to be very clear case Of negli-
gence against the high officers of the
corporation. But the real criminals
always find plausible excuses.
Paris Is by no means the only city
that suffers from the criminal negli-
gence of corporations. France is not
alone in having corporations that
laugh at law, disregard official orders
and ignore the rights of the public to
reasonable safety. Our own land is
cursed with them from the Atlantic to
the Pacific.
There are hundreds Of railroad COM
panies and other corporations in the
United States whose fixed policy 1t is
to overreach the danger line just as
far as Is consistent with economy.
When the public now and then is
awakened from it's sleep by some great
disaster, some poor devil Of an engi-
neer or train dispatcher IL sent to the
penitentiary, and the same death-deal-
ing but profitable negligence goes on
undisturbed.
A corporation cannot commit crime.
And the idea seems to prevail pretty
generally that neither can it's officials.

LOUISVILLE, KY, August 19.-An

an Internal machine through the mail.
The contrivance was wooden box

was lined with sandpaper.
The box came in the mail Tuesday
and was carefully opened by Mrs.

the lid open gently and saw that the
box was filled with powder. The pow
der was poured out and the box cut

BREWERS SAID TO Be
FORMING BIG COMBINE

NEW YORK, August 19.-Many re-
cent conferences among brewers of
Greater New York have given rise to
belief that combination of all brew

The immediate result of the consoli-
dation would be to close several Of the
smaller breweries. There are about 40
of these in Brooklyn alone.
Brewers have been complaining that
the keen competition in their business
has been almost ruinous. There is
hardly a brewery in New York that is

PHASES OF GAMBLING.

There is q popular sentiment against
gambling in any form. Most people
believe that the worst kind is that
where 4 few men sit down and deal
out cards, or play chance wheel.
This form IL exceedingly tame as COM
pared with the innumerable bucket
shops that now abide in almost every
city IN America It was this form Of
gambling that led young johnson, the
bookkeeper Of the defunct Commercial
Banking company to a prison cell.
Had Johnson played the money in
j IN ordinary gambling house at poker
lor faro. some one would have tipped
" OFT, but the INSCRIPTIONS bucket
shop agents. eager to get every dollar
in sight, permitted the young man to
60 on spending money lavishly, while
they knew that it was not his own
money that he was losing. The keeper
Of = gambling joint would have made
inquiries very soon If he found d
young man losing much money.
The agent Of bucket shop only to
lure the young man still further, would
invite him to a swell supper at the
Spalding. That is the difference In
gambling. The respectable kind who
move in society believe in getting mon
ey. no matter how it is got, get it. The
other kind, the green cloth men, who
are prohibited by law from operating,
may be far from being perfect men,
but there in at least some honor among
them: There is this much: that If they
know of young man losing money not
his own they will invariably advise
him to quit.
Asent1nent sht pld be stirred up in
