Cousin of Emperor a Beeaar.

Geneva, April 20.--Just across the
frontier the Austrian police arrested a
man begging, but on examining his pa
pers the police, to their great surprise,
discovered the beggar was no less a
person than Chevalier Rodolphe of
Hapsburg, born in Zurich. AS the
founder of the reigning dynasty origi-
nally came from the canton of Aar-
gand in Switzerland, the beggar doubt
less is a relation of tie emperor OF
Austria, a strict examination of the
papers proving them authentic. AS a
Swiss subject the chevalier was handed
over to the Swiss authorities and awaits
trial at the LEGISLATION. 1t was stated

CAUSE OF CANCER
Results Of Investigations by Eminent
BacterioIoeists Said to Prove That
Cancer Is Not Caused by Parasite.

New York, April 2o.-in few days
the result of Investigations carried on
for many months by a number of Well
known bacteriologists and toxicologists
regarding the cause of cancer and cam
cerous growths will probably be, fully
revealed in paper written by DR.. Ber-
tram H. Buxton. bacieriologist and
general scientist. Briefly, the investiga-
tions have revealed, according to state
ments, that cancer is due to chemical
changes in the blood. That every part
or tissue Of cancer has the power OF
producing fermentation. That in their
powers of causing fermentation cancer
Gus tissues are akin to tie tissues of the
stomach. That by proving this the the-
ory that cancer was due to a parasite is
disproved.

was demanded by the public necessity.
1t is clear to all intelligent people,
and is admitted by many who have hot
ly denied such proposition few years
|ago, that unchecked competition be-
tween railroad companies and railroad
wars" are a very bad thing for the
business community: that stability ana
uniformity of railroad rates are, on the
contrary, the greatest things to be de-
sired, and that this stability and unan-
unity can only be secured by some form
of railroad pooling or of combination
between railroad companies. 1t VIII
be easier than most people imagine
TO get a bill thru the next congress
either allowing railroads actually to
make combinations that are now pro-
|hibited, or to enter into permanent
agreements concerning freight and pas
senger traffic.
The railroads may, on their part,
have to accept some closer government
al supervision of their business under
these new conditions than is now the
case, but the way out of the Northern
Securities difficulty lies clearly along
these lines.
So far as additional prosecutions at
present under the Sherman law are
concerned, 1t may be set down as a
certainty that none will occur. Public
sentiment Is fast crystallizing upon the
idea that only unreasonable restraint of
trade should be prohibited by statute;
and as this sentiment has, in the past.
sanctioned all OF the large railroad and
industrial combinations in the eastern
states. there is small reason for be-
lieving that any government action
against these combinations now, after
the lapse of so many years, is either
meditated or would be supported by
the people.

THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.
Scare Caused BY Securities Decision
Has About Blown Over.

Scare Caused BY Securities Decision
Has About Blown Over.
New York, April 20.-When the hur-
ricane of the Northern Securities de-
cision blew into Wall street week be-
fore last, it found just starting the most
promising upward movement of prices
that the financial community had wit
messed for long while. The consensus
of the large operators and OF the
shrewdest observers of market condi-
tions was that the stock market was
both sold out and oversold; that is,
that normal liquidation had not only
run it's course, but that the spectators
for the decline who had been assisting
the work after their usual fashion had
greatly overdone the business.
The adverse factors that had de-
pressed prices had one by one either
entirely disappeared or SO largely dim
inished in force as to be no longer
acute; and many reasons for making
an advance in the price OF certain
stocks, particularly, began to appeal to
investors. Just as the market was be-.
ginning to move in response to these
natural influences, the announcement
came of the court decision at st. Paul.
So vigorous and genuine was the adj
vance in prices that had begun that the
general impulse was to disregard the
bad news; and this feeling held the
market firm on the day when the news
was broken.
Over the Easter holidays, however.
the full decision was read and ponder
ed upon. 1t seemed of alarming char
acter and last Monday was blue day
in Wall street In consequence. Even
then the selling of stocks came not
from the mass Of commission houses,
but from those having the accounts of
the large traders. Some of these spec
ulators, as is now known, We're greatly
scared, and tumbled over their hold
ings to the first buyers.
AS the week advanced all these and
other similar considerations became
emphasized. 1t was pointed out that
the Northern Securities company was
in peculiar and exceptional way in
apparent opposition to the Sherman
anti-trust law, and that none of the
great railroad and Industrial combina-
tions that had been formed was on
what the lawyers call .all fours" with
the Northern Securities case 1t was
recalled that the case had not yet been
definitely settled, and that fears on ac-
count of it might perhaps be deferred
until the construction of the statute
had been finally determined by the SUI
preme court, and it was held to be
more than likely that now that the ops
pressive and far reaching character of
the Sherman law, as strictly construed
had been demonstrated, some such am
endment OF 1t would be forthcoming as

Plaintiff Rssts-Witness - testify for
Defense That Mates 2 racter Was
Good.
Davenport. April 20.--With the COM
pletion of the testimony of Mrs. Teggart
in the Leonidas trial the plaintiff rested
its case last night and court adjourned
with their evidence completed for the
present.
Before the defense introduced their
first witness this morning they made n
motion asking that the case be taken
from the jury. The move met with
considerable opposition from the at
torneys for the plaintiff and for time
a warm fight waged. Judge House
finally brought the arguments to a close
by everything the motion and the jury
retained the case.
John Simmons, who was captain OF
the steamer Dubuque at the time the
Leonidas men were murdered stated
that at the hour of the shooting ne
was eating his dinner and that the boat
was in charge of Mate Breen. He was
asked as to the reputation OF the mate
and testified to the effect that it was
good.
The second witness called by the
defense was John Sleckman, the col
Ored porter of the steamer.
He stated that he had carried the
baggage of the murdered men to the
different parts OF the boat as directed.
He also testified that the men
lLconidas-had used generous amount
of profane language and created no
little merriment, when he was asked
to repeat the words they used. He
covered his face with his hands and
said In a rather embarrassed and fool
ish way:
Il doan wan to say the things they
said
The defense sought to show by his
testimony as well as that of Captain
Simmons that the sLeonidas men were
surly and disagreeable and that Breen
shot them in self defense.
Sleckman is the individual who testf-
fled before the coroner's jury and told
la tale of rapid transit in which he
said that at the time the first shot was
fired he was within three feet OF the
men; but was three hundred feet dis
tant when the second was fired.
The cross examination OF Sleckman
was begun by Attorney Let's and con-
tinued for some time this afternoon.
The porter was unable to give de-
tailed account Of the positions of the
men and appeared to be somewhat
shaken up by the cross examination
The questioning continued for some
time in the afternoon, with Bob Payne

MODERN BOYS ARE HEAVIER.
Comparison Made ia British Public
Schools Covering Years Of 1879 and

London, April 20..-A writer in the
Westminster Review compares the ply
|siQue of the public school boy of today
and his predecessor, taxing Marlbor-
|ough and Rugby. The Marlborough
measurements were taken in 1874 and
1901, and the Rugby in 1879 and 1901.
The advantage is shown to be with the
modern boy.
At Marlborough the boy of 13 Of to-
day weighs on an average five and one
half pounds more and IS two inches
taller than the boy of 13 in 1874. The
1S-year-old boy of today Is four and
one-half pounds heavier and nine
|tenths of an inch taller than the one of
1879.
The Rugby boy of 13 today is two and
one-half inches taller and over six
pounds heavier than the 13year-old
boy of 1879. AT IL he increases in
height nine-tenths OF an inch, but there
is diminution of a pound in weight.
