NOT GUILTY
OF KIDNAPPING
The Case Is Di smisse d-r1iss DOwden
Will Now Try to Recover Child
By Civil Action.

The preliminary examination Of
Mrs. Ellen Imgrund and Mr.. and
Mrs. Clar ence Webb, charged with
the crime of kidnapping the daugh-
ter of Mrs. Imgrund, was held Mon
day evening and resulted in the dis
missal of the case, Judge Coulter
holding that there was not sufficient
evidence to warrant hlm in binding
them over to the district court.
Mrs. Imgrund, accompanied by her
daughter and attorney, Gen. Haskell,
departed the next morning for their
homes at Glendive.
Miss Dowden, of the Montana
Children's Home Society, is not salts
fed with the decision Of the court.
She considers that it sets Il dangerous
precedent and she proposes now to
bring a civil action to recover the
child. County Attorney Baker will
probably institute habeus corpus pro-
ceedings to this end and the case will
doubtless be fought up to the su-
preme court of the state.
The trial did not begin until nearly
10 p. NJ, having been delayed until
the arrival of witnesses from Flor
ence on the evening train, and lasted
until one o'clock Tuesday morning
At the conclusion of the introduction
of the testimony for the state Justice
Coulter dismissed the case. The
court room was crowded, many ladies
being present, and great satisfaction
was manifested by applause at the
disposition of the case.
Ike testimony developed that the
mother had been left destitute by the
death of her husband and the care of
the four children devolved upon the
county, whereupon the children were
given over to the Children's Home
Society by the county board. The
girl who is about IL years old had
been received by eleven different
families but had never been legally
adopted by any.

ects. Promising men are to be put upon
research work under proper guidance and
supervision. In making grants the wisest
policy appears to be to make them to
individuals for specific purpose rather
than to institutions for general purposes"
Former President Gilman, of Johns Hop
kins University, in signed summary of
the year book, says: THE methods of adj
ministration of the Carnegie Institution
thus far developed are general rather than
specific. Efforts have been and will be made
TO secure cooperation with other agencies
established for the advancement of knowl-
edge, while care will be exercised to refrain
from Interference or rivalry with them.
For example, IL medical research Is pro-
vided or by other agencies, as it appears
TO be, the Carnegie Institution will not en-
ter that field Systematic education Will
not be undertaken. Sites or buildings for
other institutions will not be provided. Spe-
cific grants have been and Will be made,
for definite purposes, to individual investi-
gators, young or old, of marked ability.
and for as instance, books, instruments,
apparatus and materials. II is understood
that such purchases are the property of
the Carnegie Institution and subject to its
control. The persons thus aided will be ex-
pected to report upon methods followed
and the results obtained. Appropriations
will be made for publication, especially for
the printing of papers of acknowledged I'M
portance, so abstruse, so extended, or SO
costly that without the aid of this fund
they may not see the light: With respect
to certain large undertakings involving
much expense, which have been or may be
suggested, careful preliminary inquiries
have been and will be made.

WHAT THE PENNSYLVANIA RAIL
WAY COMPANY PROPOSES TO DO.
Proceeds of the Temporary Loan to
BE Applied to Construction Work
Now Under Way or Planned.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 24.-First Vice
President John p Green, of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, issued a statement late to-
day in which he says that the $S5,O00,0O0
negotiated in New York yesterday is for
immediate use in carrying on the construc-
ton work now under way and planned on
the Pennsylvania lines. The loan is tenn
porary. pending the authorization of the
holders at the annual meeting in March.
The statement is as follows:
I'm making the financial arrangements
referred to the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany is temporarily financing for the con-
struction work necessary to be prosecuted
at once east and west of Pittsburg in order
to relieve the present congestion of traffic
upon its lines, and provide additional yards,
second, third and fourth tracks and other
facilities absolutely necessary in order to
bring about free movement of its traffic.
This work is scattered over the various
lines in its system, both east and west of
Pittsburg.
Among the important pieces of work
east of Pittsburg are the new line from
Marysville. above Harrisburg, to Atglen;
the new line across West Philadelphia to
Greenwich; the Brilliant line at Pittsburg:
the construction of third and fourth tracks
at various points the middle and Pitts
burg divisions, and the new line which
brings into use the Portage road over the
mountains between Cresson and Hunting
don; the elevation of tracks on the Phila-
delphia, Baltimore & Washington Railroad
I'm Chester and Wilmington; the reconstruc-
ton of its line in Washington and the con-
struction of union station at that point
West of Pittsburg there is large
amount of double tracking to be done on
the Fort Wayne, Cleveland 81 Pittsburg
and Panhandle roads and the Fort Wayne
track has also to be elevated through
Allegheny City.
These are only some of the important
pieces OF work which have to be taken
care of by the company during the year
and which will be fully explained when it's
annual report Is made to the share holders
1.-THE various companies east and west of
Pittsburg interested in these pieces of
work, will, of course, decide upon and
carry into effect later the plans for per-
menently financing the cost of these enter
prises"

TWELVE CENTS ON CONSCIENCE.
Removed by Sending Six Two-Cent
Stamps to Secretary Shaw.
Washington Post.

washington POST.
The conscience of some one living at
the extent of II cents. with the result that
the division of public moneys of the Treas
ury Department has credited that amount
to the conscience fund of the treasury.
An envelope poStmarked Bealeton, Va,
and addressed TO 1.-The Treasury" turned
up In Secretary Shaw's mail yesterday aft
ernoon. When opened it was found to con-
tain six 2-cent stamps and sheet of paper
upon which was written: Money returned
for misused stamps by one who will never
do 1t again"
No statement is made as to how the
stamps were misused. but often such con-
tributions turn UP with the confession that
the contributor has taken stamps off en-
velopes received and used them again. 1t
sometimes occurs that the canceling ma
chine does not strike the stamp and il goes
through the mails as good as if unused.
In the majority of these conscience fund
cases, however, the contributor says he
finds himself in debt to the government
for duty on goods imported. Occasionally
an employe of the government will say
that he has been overpaid. but this is not
frequent. Rarely Is the name of the con-
tributor signed to his letter inclosing the
contribution. Sometimes these communica-
they are signed Anonymous More often.
though, they bear no signature at ALL
The amount OF the conscience fund" of
the last fiscal year was unusually large
record-breaking size of that fund will be
appreciated when il is known that the year
before il was s.. So. 30. and the year before
last 3.S16.22. A few weeks ago a contribu-
ton of $4,000 was received. and short time
before that one OF over 5000 was received
All such contributions, from the big ones
TO the little ones, are turned over TO the
division of public moneys and the fund
arising from them is turned into the regu-
lar treasury fund at the close of each fiscal

The contrast between the ornateness Of

are SO devoid of characterization, so plainly
intended for nothing but utility, that for
I eign critics frequently refer to them as
poorly finished. Indeed, there is little
doubt that American engines have met
with disfavor in some countries because
Of their excessive plainness; in Europe
they like plenty of brass and red paint on
their engines. It may not be too fanciful
to attribute the difference between our
automobiles and our locomotives to the
different conditions OF their evolution.
From the beginning we have in America
built engines Of our own sort, but France
took the lead of the world in the building
of automobiles, and the types and styles
taken up by the French have been initial
q ed or adapted all over the world. The
Frenchmans artistic bent and love of dis
play called for color and show in the auto
mobiles. and we have followed suit. And

SANDER Of American men in an address
delivered before medical convention in
st. Paul the other day. The doctor, who
processes to know much about oriental
morals, but obviously doesn't know much
about social conditions in the United
States, declared that the vice and i'm
morality Of wealthy Americans would
shame an ignorant African savage or even
the Mohammedans Of Asia, and he added:
''If the truth were known, husbands Of
New York and Chicago, and all our large
cities, Indulge secretly not only in plural
wives. but In thrice the wives of these So
called degraded peoples. The Mohamne-
dan Is true to his plural wives, yet many
of our men are untrue to thrice the Mo-
hannedan's number
This is all sheer nonsense, the loose, talk
of a man who Is not In touch with facts. It
reminds Us Of the Chicago doctor who as
in Chicago from the effects of milk pois-
oned with formalin, whereas the total
number Of deaths of infants during the
whole week and from all causes was only

painting in the darkest colors the society

rive profound satisfaction from saying
with the air of one who knows that such

The Greatest Task Of All,

James j. Fill intimates that his biz
Pacific steamers, the largest freight car
raers IN the world. are going to give the
outer world a taste of that cheapness OF
transporta ton which has made the great
lakes waterway the marvel OF the internal
commerce Of the United States. He be-
lieves that this new era OF transportation
on the Pacific will result in a tremendous
ly increased consumption Of American
wheat and flour In China. He asserts
now, as many times before that the only
way IN which the American farmer can
get more for his wheat is to enlarge his
market. To quote his own words:
we can never get away from the prac-
lical proposition that we are in compe-
8titlon with every wheat raiser lin every
.country-the peasants on the steppes Of
Russia, the ryots Of India and the Argen-
tine farmers, most of whom went from
ltaly We are in competition with them
on an even whiffletree. We always will be
so long as we have to sell outside of our
own country; and that our own country
VIII ever consume our entire product no
intelligent man will believe, at least for
half a century.
But If the 400, 600, 900 Cinnamon can be
petltlon OF markets and very likely de-
mand in excess of the supply. It will
be Intensely interesting to: watch the
working out of this pet trade theory of
Mr.. Hill He is really trying to do for
the wheat raising farmers what the pro-
tectfve tariff has done forsso,r rnaa1ufac-
turers, that Is, give them a better market.
No tariff can do the wheat raiser any
good because he raises more than the ma
ton consumes by about 200, 900 900 bush
els, and his surplus is proportionate,v
larger now than it was fifty years ago
What the government has not been able
to do, Mr.sEill now proposes to do. This
is the eliminating undertaking Of Mr..
Hills life. It is vaster project than his
railways. and. if successful, will entitle
him to be considered the foremost indus
trial captain Of the age.
