,ecIal to tho Indianapolis Journal.

Special to tho Indianapolis Journal.
FORT WAYNE, Ind, Nov. 12.-Much in
terest was taken in the testimony yester-
day at Lagrange of H. HI. Wfldman, private
banker OF Wolcottville, who was one of
the brick company in which Rollin Eli
son said he lost Sc. 600. wildman was close
ly questioned as to his disposition of 5000
of the capital stock of the Cherryvale
(Kan.) Brick Company, and said he had
sold a block of 5000 of it to his mother.
He was questioned as to when the sale
was made, but could not remember. The
referee was impressed that he was evasive
and had to caution him to tell the exact
truth, but the definite time could not be
wrested from him. He said the enterprise
is prosperous and will this year pay SO
per cent. dividend. Before leaving the
stand he was ordered to produce the stock
book and let it show the date of the trans
fer to his mother.
Thomas E. Ellison was questioned as to
the transaction whereby the banks claim
against his dairy company. in this city,
for $40, 600 for milk and cream furnished
was wiped out by issuing dairy company
stock to the amount of $4,000 to the banker,
Rollin Ellison. and obtaining credit for
$500 attorneys fees. He related that when
the dairy company was organized his
brother had agreed to take $4,000 Of the
stock and that this was issued to him under
the arrangement. The attorneys fees were
his by reason of an agreement with his
brother to participate to that extent in the
closing of the Cherryvale deal. He said the
corporation which took over the properties
had agreed TO pay Sl25 600 for them, but hat
part of the payment had been withheld on
the ground that certain leases were de-
fective.
In this connection 1t is stated that John
w. Hanan, attorney for the trustee, has
learned from a trip to Cherryvale that the
bonds in which the Ellisons received COM
pensation for their holdings are good for

WAGE RATE TOO HIGH.
Conditions Affecting the Steel Trade
of the Country.

PITTSBURG, Nov. 12.-Expressed ex-
plantations Of the conditions that are con-
fronting the steel trade of this country
were made to-day by one OF the high OIL
Gals of the Jones & Laughlin Steel Com
pany. These explanations are supple
mented and supported by other steel manu-
facturers, all of whom have been in close
touch with the recent conference In New
York and even prominent in the debates
that have taken place there.
New business coming In, they say, Is
booked at a close figure, especially with
billets at the new price of $3 a ton, and
the manufacturers realize that the present
wage rate is too high for the prices of ma
terial. 1t was explained that the reduction
of 10 per cent. In wages did not mean a
fiat slicing off of 10 per cent. of the daily
wages of the employe of a manufacturing
concern. A straight reduction Of 10 per
cent. on the roll of the United States Steel
Corporation would compel a cutting out of
Sl2, 900, 900. The day laborer will not be af-
fected, but every tonnage man will be. The
effect on the tonnage man, however, VIII
not be in decreasing his earning power. but
rather by increasing his tonnage capacity
with improved machinery which will enable
him to turn out an increased amount of
finished steel at a less rate the ton, the
total being practically the same as he has
always made.

"BUTCHER IN DISGRACE"
Why the Governor General of kfeR
Was Dismissed by the Gar.

MOSCOW. Nov. 2.-General Dragomirof.
the retired Governor General of Kieff. has
left here for his estates. the Car having no
further use for his services. The circum-
stances OF the summary dismissal of Gen.
eral Dragomiroff have just leaked out.
They strikingly illustrate the humanitarian
ideas of the Russian ruler. Dragomiroff,
who enjoyed unbounded favor at court and
was the most popular man in the Russian
army, lost favor and his office because he
did not show moderation in quelling the
strike riots at Kieff, which practically in.
Hearing that the strikers might cause n
repetition of the Kishineff scenes, Drago-
miroff called out the artillery and caused a
wholesale slaughter of the rioters. 1t is
said that several hundred of them were
killed. When the Gar heard the fact he at
once dismissed Dragomirof with the
words: II cannot have that man at Kieff
any longer. His hands are stained with
human blood"

BERLIN, Nov. 12.-Regarding the condi-

bulletin was issued this morning at the
new palace. Potsdam: His Majesty gave
up his usual walk, owing to the sharp wind
prevailing. The healing of the wound takes
the regular course, and the Emperor's gen.

The greatest difficulty of Emperor Will

must only whisper a little, and while he is
not forgetful of their command, he whis-

Various matters in which the Emperor is
personally interested ere developing and he
is unable to discuss them, but listens to re-
ports, writes questions. objections, or his
own views, though the pencil runs too slow
ly and he breaks out occasionally with
whispered remarks pitched near the surge
of the danger line. No special harm has
been done yet, but as he is getting we'll fast
his impotence increases.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Immediately
upon hearing that Emperor William had
been obliged to submit TO a surgical oper-

personal cable message expressive of his

speedy convalescence. The Emperor has

BOSTON, Nov. L.-President Rooseveits
name and his action in the so-called Miller
open-shop case were brought before the
convention Of the American Federation OF
Labor to-day, when several delegates ad-
verseIy criticised his decision not to dis
criminate against nonunion labor in fed
e<al employment. The question came be-
fore the convention from the on
resolutions In the way of a report that a
resolution on the "open shop issue be re-
ferred to the committee of the executive

that the "open shop" whether under pri-
vate or government control, cannot be rec
ognized by organized labor" Delegate j.

resolution affecting the st. Joseph. Mo-,

Of the case the point was raised that IL

would be established which the federation
might have TO indorse all over the country.
John Mitchell, speaking for the miners and
making his first address on the floor OF
the convention, declared that IL the fed
GRAFTON indorsed such a policy so that it
would affect the entire country, many Of
