A that held 51 per cent. of the stock of both roads, they would control both roads upon a holding of 51 per cent. of the shares of the holding company, or practically one-fourth Of the combined capital Of the two roads. This does violence to simple rule of vulgar frac- tions, because it works out that half of a half is equal to a half of a whole.
 Of course, it is simple proposition to bring any number of railroads under the same control without increasing the stock of the securities holding com pany or without increasing the stock of the holders of the control of the securi- ties-holding company, by employing the device resorted to by the defendants in the purchase of the Burlington road, namely. by having one of the railroads controlled by the Securities company, acquire the sotck and pay for it with its own obligations secured by pledge of the stock acquired.

TRIAL OF MRS. ROGERS.
Man for Whom She Murdered Her Hui.
 band Testtfies

Bennington, Vt, Dec. 15.-The state to-day placed on the witness stand the man for the love of whom it alleges Mary H. Rogers murdered her husband. Next to Leon Perham, the confessed accomplice of the defendant, Morris Knapp is the most important witness of the prosecution.
 Knapp belongs in this town, is twen- ty-three years old, intelligent, and made far better impression than have others more closely connected with the case. At the time of the murder he was a member of Company K, N. G. V. M., and was attending the annual mus ter at Fort Ethan Allen.
 The witness admitted an attachment for defendant, based on the belief that she was free to marry him. He told of their personal relations and of frequent love letters received from the woman. Mrs. Rogers had first represented her. self as single, then as the sister of Mar GUS H. Rogers, the murdered man, and finally told him that she had been mar ried, but that her husband had left her and since renarried.
 There was a stir in court when the witness told of receiving a note from Mrs. Rogers On the day of her arrest.
 The message was: My God! Perham

 When you keenIy grasp the full sense Of imminent danger of foreign complica- tions which confronted the president and the plainly evident truth that no justice. generosity, fair dealing. or busi- ness-Iike consideration could be obtain ed from Colombia. and when you con- sider further our obligations under the treaty of 1S46, and the opportunity af- forded to put an end to the long series of sanguinary and enfeebling revolu- tioEs which have wasted the resources and arrested the progress Of the isth- mus: when you recall Colombia's dog in the manager attitude. and the salient, dangerous. pressing exigencies of the situation which confronted this govern ment upon the night of November 3, I think you may well be glad that there was in Washington upon this truly fate ful occasion a man who possessed the insight, the knowledge. the spirit, and the courage to seize the opportunity to strike blow, the results of which can be sraught with peace and good to the whole world"

 I cannot think that a combination held together by rope of sand comes within the prohibition of the law, and that one which is bound by links of steel may defy it's wisdom and it's power.
 To prevent such a dangerous concen- tration of power. dangerous to com merce and menace to our freedom, the people have done all that it is pos- sible for them to do under our system of government. They have IegisIated agaiLst it. If this law can be construed so as not to cover the situation, or If the court says yea to the proposition af- firmed in the last paragraph of Mr. Morgan's answer, namely, congress has no power to prevent such combinations. then indeed the governments grave concern as to this litigation may be easily understood.
 MT. Knox closed at 1:40 D. m. and was immediately followed by George E. Young on behalf of the Securities company. He began his argument by saying that his clients do not seek to in any way limit the authority of con- gress over interstate commerce, nor was the Securities company seeking to m any way evade the law. But it was not, he said, necessary to stretch law covering interstate commerce to make l II cover something that is not inter- state commerce.

has let it all out. Come quickly and comfort me"
 Mrs. Rogers, who collapsed after the adjournment Of court yesterday. was restored to her natural indifference to- day. and appeared bored with the pro ceedings until the state called the man for whom it is alleged she proposed to furnish a home with the $500 insurance secured on her husbands life. When Knapp was called she sat bolt upright. then leaned more and more in the direc- tion of the witness, while in her eyes there was an appealing look that drew the attention of the spectators from the witness to the prisoner. When the tes- timony became damaging to the defense the expression changed to one of re- pIoach. Slowly she sank back in her chair, covered her face with her hands. and as her lover left the stand the little woman in black burst into a flood of tears, sobbing violently until removed from the court room.
 The rest of the evidence to-day was merely corroborative. The trial will continue tomorrow

SALE OF LAKE SUPERIOR co.
Continued from First Page.)

John G. Caruth, receiver for the Consolidated Lake Superior company, was present at the sale, and for him notice was read of an action begun by him in the supreme court, this state, against Speyer & Co. to set aside the order of sale. Foley Brothers and Por- ter & Whalen, through their counsel, Francis Rawle, of No. BPS Chestnut street, Philadelphia, caused notice to be read for them claiming lien on all the property of the Algoma Central and material furnished.
 After the notices had been read the property was offered for sale. Speyer & Co. were the only bidders, and James Speyer, of the firm, who was present with Charles Tweed, another member of the firm, said after the sale: we have bought in the securities for $4,50o, 900, and have no comment to make"
 Messrs. Speyer and Tweed were ask ed what interest, if any, the United States Steel corporation might have from now on in the property They answered that to the best of their knowledge, the Steel corporation would have no interest whatever.
 Among others who were present at the sale were: Francis H. Clerque, promoter of the Consolidated Lake Su- perior company, and at one time it's president; c. E. Oryis, a director of the company, and MT. Hay, director of the Imperial bank of Canada.
 F011Y1SaI far. tI1a ,,an,.cro +to,, ,,x,. n1ittee of the Lake Superior com pany issued a formal statement, saying that strenuous efforts were made in behalf of the committee and of the creditors and stockholders of the com pany to obtain from Speyer & Co, a further adjournment of the sale of the securities os the company for three weeks and that Speyer & Co. were no- tiffed that the underwriters to the Speyer syndicate, to the extent of s. 100000 and upwards, had agreed to join in the reorganization movement. This sum was in addition, they say, to the fresh subscriptions to the stock to the amoutn of about S2,000,000 and also fresh and outside underwriting, amounting to about $2,000,000 more. making a total of over S6s coo 900 pledged to the reorgani- Zation plan.
 CounseI further stated that speyer & Co. were notified that if 8 further ex- tension of three weeks had been grant ed the Speyer loan would probably have been paid off, and made public.
 The statement closed as follows: Notwithstanding the sale, counsel dc not propose to abandon their efforts to bring about a successful reorganiza. tion."
 Toronto, Ont. Dec. 15.--A deputatior of some of those interested in the Con. solidated Lake Superior properties call. ed on Premier Ross this afternoon They declined to say with what result It is said that $1,5O0,O00 held by Cana. dian shareholders had been lost There is, it is said, not a cents worth of pro. lection.

to the same end is not for present con- sideration.
 The possibilities of a securities hold ing company of this kind as a financial machine for manipulating railroad and other properties and concentrating their control in the hands of powerful clique are however, legitimate consid- erations, and am safe in saying they are simply enormous. It has again and again been pointed out, since the or ganization of the Northern Securities company, that in it's simplest form it is possible for q group of men, by incor- porating themselves as a securities holding company, to control two rail- road companies upon the holding of half the amount of stock that would be required in the hands of individuals.
 Individuals will be required to hold 51 per cent. of the stock of both rail- roads in order to control them, but if particular group of men had the con- trol of securities holding company

ATTEMPTED ExToRTIoN.
Woman is Notified to Put One Hun.
dred Dollars Under a Board.

Pulaski, Ia, Dec. PULASKI was
the scene of a daring would-be hold
up Saturday evening. Mrs. Lucinda
Milliken, who is respected resident
of this place, received a notice from
an unknown party, demanding of her
that she place $4,000 in cash under
a board lying near pile OF posts in
her yard, before she retired for the
night, that in case the request was
not complied with, certain threats,
which would probably involve her life
would be enforced.
The notice caused Mrs. Milliken no
little uneasiness, but after consulta-
ton with friends, it was decided not
to comply with the demand, but a
plot was laid to entrap the bold high
wayman in his attempt to extort.
The scheme worked well and the par
ty on whom the suspicion most
strongly lies is being Swallowed and
an arrest will doubtless follow short
ly.

not long loaded before it was enrout;
to Hooking, distance of about thirty
miles. Arrived in that city, there
were many willing hands to assist
in the unloading of the freight.
During this time arrangements had
been completed for the building, and
the new store,-dimensions 24x12C
feet-was we'll along. There was
shelter enough to house the goods
and groceries were being dispensed
to the people of Hooking this morn
ing shortly after eight o'clock. The
entire building will be completed by
monday morning.
The purchase of goods for the new
store amounted to something like fiji
teen thousand dollars. A part of the
lumber of the new building was on
hand at Hooking in the yard of the
company. A part was secured at AL
bia and two cars of company lumber
en- route were caught by the tele
graph and rushed to the scene of &C

service. Every one worked with a
will and well directed purpose that
accomplished a thing that would
have seemed impossible at any other
time.
Mr.. Geo. Sewers, president of the
coal company, deserves greatest cred
it for the splendid way in which he
handled the difficulty, and the men
who worked with him should share
in the honors. None of these men
took a moments rest during the en-
tire night and those who were on the
ground at Hooking at the time Of the
fire had partaken of no supper, MOI
did they partake of refreshment dur,
ing the time of their work.
The re-establishing of the business
Is certainly record breaker that will
stand as monument to the enter
prise and determination Of a com
pany of modern business men,-Iowa

1.-THE FREY APOSTLE"
Col. Brengle, Of the Salvation Army,
Stirs OskaIoosa. ..

The local branch of the Salvation
Army has been making special effort
this fall to increase their numbers
and strength and several unusual at.
fractions have been brought to the
city as an aid to the work. Others
have been good and have helped, but
none have been more satisfying or
more fruitful in good results than the
meetings Of Saturday and Sunday.
Lieutenant Colonel S. l.. Brengle
of New York City, was in the city on
these days and he held special meet
ings at the barracks and on the
street. Large audiences were at.
tracted to the barracks where the
meetings were held. Colonel Brengle
has been styled "the frey apostle
on account of his style of speaking
and working. His manner is most
energetic but effective and all who
heard him during his visit were en-
tertained and instructed. The mu
steal part of the meetings was quite
a pronounced feature. Col. Brengle
was accompanied by Ensign Nobee
who is also noted worker in the
cause.
