stock of the company was authorized a
little over year ago. The issue of that
additional stock has not yet taken place,
but it is now stated that it will shortly
and will be applied to the purpose in
view when it was originally authorized.
The delay in issuing it was caused bS
the traffic arrangement the road was
able to make with the Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific. which placed it
upon an equality with the Chicago &
Northwestern in dealing with the roads
named. That arrangement gave it
through service, both passenger and
freight, to California and North Pacific
coast points.
That arrangement, however, favorable
as it was believed to be at the time, has
not come UP to the full expectations of
the Milwaukee & st. Paul. That road
feels that it is not on equal terms with
the Burlington through its connection
with the Northern Security company's
roads, and that it could maintain it's
equality much better had it an indie
pendent line to the coast.

Likely to Be No Change in Santa
Fe Directorate.
Rock Island and Union Pacific
Will Make No Fight.
AFRAID OF THE COURTS
Community of Interest the
Probable Outcome.
Much Santa Fe Stock Now Own
ed by Rival Roads.

Chicago, oct 30.-Reports widely cir
culated to the effect that both Union
Pacific and Rock Island interests are
large purchasers of Santa Fe stock find
ready credence.
1t is known that the Rock Island in
terests control large block of the
Santa F'e and may later secure represent
tation on the latter board. although the
call for the annual meeting of the lat
ter would not indicate such a step at
present.
1t IS quite possible that Rock Island
and Union Pacific interests have been
working out a harmony programme in
their purchases of Santa Fe stock,
whereby such ownership has been Sc
cured for the purpose of securing a
practical community of interest"
Union Pacific, Northern Pacific Rock
Island and Santa Fe would then have
enc policy as to rates and the general
conduct of transcontinental traffic
The pending Northern Securities case
may possibly have somewhat to do with
the failure OF the Rock Island-IJnion
Pacific interests to seek representation
upon the Santa Fe board at the conina.
annual meeting.
There is little doubt, however that the
Rock Island-Union Pacific ownership
will have considerable bearing upon the
policy of the Santa F'e management. so
far as it applies to the general conduct
of the road in it's relation to other trans
continental lines.

he WAS POISONED.
But Nobody Will Say Who
Did 1t.

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 30.-The verdict of
the coroner's jury on the death of ex-
City Recorder Joseph Owen Brown was
reached last night after IA sittings. The
jury found that Brown came to his
death suddenly at his residence on Sun
day afternoon, March 10, 1908, from pois-
on administered by some unknown per-
son or persons.
The death of Recorder Brown occurred
a few days after his resignation as city
recorder at the close of a years bitter
fractional fighting in local politics. There
were vague rumorS of suicide at the
time but the death was attributed to
collapse from overwork and mental
stress. The suicide rumors however,
reached the ear of J. p. R. Brown of
Nebraska, a brother of the deceased and
he came here to investigate and on April
rs had the body exhumed from its rest
ing .place in Bull Creek cemetery near
Tarentum, Pa, the boyhood home of the
recorder, and a postmortem eKamina-
ton held. After the postmortem the vi
tai organs were sent to Philadelphia for
a chemical analysis. On June 20. the
inquest proper was taken UP and has
continued at intervals ever since. In all
there were 10 sessions not counting the
viewing of the body. For the past two
months nothing has been done owing to
the illness of Col. d. c. Campbell of
Louisville, who had been retained by
J.gR. Brown the dead mans brother to
look after his interest in the case.

CUT OFF THEIR PASSES.
Northwestern r. R. Office Clerks May
Be Denied Free Rides.

Chicago. ILL.,, Oct 30.-It is the inten-
ton of the Northwestern railroad, ac-
cording to rumors in circulation in the
general offices yesterday, to discontinue
free transportation privileges to the
families of employees in the general
offices living along the line of the road.
Complaints have been made of the mis-
use of these tickets and it is not i'm
probable that the company may also
discontinue the practice of supplying its
employees with transportation to and
from their homes in the suburbs.
In view Of the fact that hundreds of
the employees of the company own homes
in the suburban towns along the line
of the road the rumor to the effect that
the company intended dispensing with
the free transportation for themselves
and the members of their immediate
families caused CONSERVATION. The
Northwestern is one of the few roads
that have not discontinued this practice
and because a small proportion of the
transportation may have been misused
it is claimed by the employees that this
is no reason why the privilege should
be denied the majority. Although the
matter has not been decided upon by
the officials of the company several
conferences have been held and the
matter discussed.

cation of the murder of his sister,
Mabel H. Bechtel. at their home a few
days ago, committed suicide last even

The funeral of the murdered girl took
place yesterday afternoon, the services
being held at her late home AS the
| girl lay in the coffin her appearance told
its own story. Both eyes were badly
discolored as though they had been
struck by a clenched fist. There was a
big bruise on the nose and several
smaller ones on the cheek and ear. The
worst wound. that on the forehead, was
hidden by the hair. On a finger was
the engagement ring given her by Alfred
Eckstein.
The suicide of Thomas Bechtel has
been followed by the police officials tell
ing the story of the murder of Miss
Bechtel as gathered by Them 1t starts
with last Thursday when Eckstein ac-
companied Miss Bechtel to Philadelphia.
Weisenberg met her in Philadelphia and
accompanied her to Allentown. They
went to a certain place together where
they remained until midnight. Thomas
Bechtel heard of this and being strenu-
ously opposed to Weisenberg, he met the
girl upon her return. He struck ner "a
powerful blow on the cheek, causing her
to fall against a bureau. dead.
Members of the family held council
and decided upon the story made public
on Tuesday and upon the disposition of
the body and clothing as follows:
Charles Bechtel's Ratchet was used in
striking q blow on the head of the dead
girl to give a semblance of assault.
This happened Immediately after mid
night. The body was concealed in the

placed in the areaway where it was
found Tuesday morning. Eckstein knew
nothing of the murder, the police say.

NO INTRINSIC VALUE.
New Decision in Regard TO Nature OF
Railroad Ticket.

Railroads are jubilant over decision
made at Denver by Judge Lindley of
the county court, who ruled that rail-
road ticket has no intrinsic value. and
that its sole value is in the transporta-
ton it represents. This was given in
the case of a man who had bought an
excursion ticket to Chicago and de-
posted it there as required with the
joint ticket agency. When he present
ed his coupon receipt for the return
ticket to Denver the agent suspected
that he wanted to sell the ticket and
refused to give it to him. but offered
to put him on the train and pass him
through. Suit was brought for the
ticket but the court threw the COM
plant out and held that in offering to
see that he got ride home the sail
road had performed its obligation to the
purchaser and had right to retain the
ticket.
