L0REE ON THE DEAL.
ID. .S O.'s President Tells How 1t Was
Contaminated.

ID. GS O.'s President Tells How 1t Was
Contaminated.
Baltimore, Jan. s.-President Loree
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
officially confirmed the published re-
port of the purchase for his company
of stock in the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railroad and the later reported
the Pennsylvania company, to the
Vanderbilt interests.
He said that the control of the Read
ing was acquired by the Pennsylvania
road on behalf of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad through Kuhn, Loeb &
Co. OF a total of 100000 shares, this
firm secured between 100000 and
100000 shares in the interest of the
Pennsylvania. This was largely pre-
ferred stock. Then the Vanderbilts
and the Baltimore and Ohio were in
vited to take these purchases between
them. This was to bring the Reading
into the community of ownership
scheme originated by the Pennsylva-
mia Railroad and the New York Cen
trail, without conflicting with the laws
of the state of Pennsylvania, which
prohibit the Pennsylvania Railroad
from owning control of a competing
line.
The Vanderbilts nomina ted the Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern Rail-
road to take up their share of the pur-
chase, and the transaction involved
the raising of about $25, 200, 900. The
Pennsylvania selected the Baltimore
and Ohio and this company financed
the requirements by part of the money
derived from the recent sale of $42,-
500, 900 of stock.
President Loree said that the deal
makes a substantial addition to the
mileage operated under the Baltimore
and Ohio influence, doubling the same
as follows: Present Baltimore and
Ohio system, 4,400; mileage affected by
deal, 4.405; total, S,S05.
Mr.. Loree said that the manage
ment of the Reading would continue as
at present.

SHE WAS ARROGANT.
How Madame Humbert Answered. In
terrogntories.

Paris, Jan. S.-Therese Humbert was
Intercepted to-day for the first time
since her arrest. The examination was
conducted by M. Leydu, judge of in
struction. Lawyer Robert was pres
ent in behalf of the accused.
Nine. Humbert was well prepared to
go through with the ordeal, as she had
worked half through the night arrang-
ing answers to such questions as she
thought would be put to her. She re-
piled with arrogance and with COM
plete self-possession; she categorically
refused, however. to answer a single
question regarding the Crawfords or
their millions, saying that she reserved
her replies in this connection for her
trial, when she would tell absolutely
everything Nine. Humbert said she
took the entire responsibility of the
whole affair, upon her own shoulders
and that her family had nothing to do
with it.
The proceedings before Judge Leydu
were private.
A report current earlier to-day is to
the effect that Nine. Humbert declared
the whole story of the Crawfords and
their millions to be true; that the
Crawfords really existed, and that in
good time they would appear and
confound her enemies.

BY HER OWN HAND

Baltimore, Jan. S.-Mrs. Mary Bene-
dict. "a years old. shot and instantly
killed herself to-day at the home of
her brother-in-law, DR.. Frank Martin,
in this city.
Since the disappearance Of her hus-
band, John Benedict. from Athens,
Ga, three years ago last May, Mrs.
Benedict's mind had been affected.
She had been treated in sanitariums in
Philadelphia and Watkins Glen, N. Y,
and was thought to have been cured.
4 year ago she was brought to Balti-
more.
Her nervous trouble became more
pronounced a week ago and arrange
ment had been made to take her to a
sanitarium in Philadelphia to-day. 1t
was while dressing for this trip that
the fatal shot was fired.
John c. Benedict, a well-known BUSH
ness man of Athens, Ga, her husband.
mysteriously disappeared. and has
never been heard of. Mr.. Benedict
started from Athens on a business trip
through the northern part of Georgia
and South Carolina. He was last seen
on the porch of a hotel at Greenville.
The authorities of Georgia and
South Carolina who endeavor-
ed to find some trace of the
missing merchant. concluded that he
had been murdered and that his MUIR
derers had destroyed his horse and
buggy in order to leave no clue for the
officers.

FEASTED ON HORSE FLESH.
six Hundred Attended Dinner
where 1t Was Served.

Berlin, Jan. Six hundred people
sat down tonight to the most remark
able banquet that has ever been given
in Berlin. The dishes consisted entire
ly of horse meat, and were served in
various forms.
The Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals issued the invita-
lions to the dinner tonight which was
given for the purpose of demonstrat-
ing the nourishing and palatable quail
ties of horse meat, thereby causing in
creased consumption of the meat and
a ready market for old horses. This
would prevent owners from working
the poor animals to death, as welI-fed
specimens would bring good prices.
The bill of fare tonight consisted of
horse soup, picked horse tongue, filet
of horse and roast horse. All the
dishes were nicely prepared and were
greatly relished.
The presiding officer of the society,
Privy Councillor Won Seofeld, said 3d.
600 horses had been eaten in Berlin
last year, and that he hoped for
large increase in the future.
Many prominent members of the
Reichstag and of the City Council
were present at the banquet.

LAWYERS MAKE SPEECHES
After All the Evidence in the Ting
ley Case Is In.

San Diego, Cal, Jan. s.-Testimony
was closed to-day in the Tingley libel
case and arguments began this after
noon. Frederick r. Kellogg of New
York made the opening argument for
the plaintiff. Eugene Daney of San
Diego began the opening address for
the defendant and had spoken an hour
when court adjourned.
Mr.. Kellogg in his argument said
Mrs. Tingley was charged by the de-
PENDANT newspaper with the forcible
Imprisonment of Mrs. Holbrook and
treating her in such manner that her
health was ruined and the woman
placed at the point of death 1t was
further charged that other persons
were enticed into the home by mis-
representations and ill treated; that
little children had been starved and
imprisoned in padded cells; that the
institution was a fake for the purpose
of defrauding people, and, to crown

This case goes to the foundation of

the liberty of the press shall be smoth-

NOW THE NEGROES TURN
AGAINST ROOSEVELT.
AtInnta's Black Republicans Don't
Want Markham.

Atlanta, Jan. S.-The negro leaders of
the Republican party in Atlanta are
up in arms against the appointment
by President Roosevelt of Marcellus O.
Markham. as surveyor of customs for
the Northern district. A protest sign
ed by several negroes has been sent to
Westinghouse senators whose sym
pathies are believed to be with the ne
groes, urging them to prevent the con-
firmatlon of Markham.
The outcome of this new phase is
being watched with great interest. II
is not believed here that President
Roosevelt will be overridden by the
Senate in an appointment which he is
said to have taken great pleasure in
making.
The clerk of the surveyor of customs
is negro who holds the place under
civil service rules Since the head of
the Office is to be a white man, an eff
fort is on foot to have the negro clerk
ousted. The opinion prevails that the
negro cannot be removed without
cause. since he is under the protection
of the civil service

NOT GLENN'S ORDERS.
Witnesses Tell How the Guides
Were Executed.

Manila, Jan. Sat the continuation
to-day of the trial by court-martial of
Maj. Edwin F. Glenn of the Fifth In
fantry, who is charged with unlaw-
fully and wilfully killing seven pris-
oners of war in Samar last January,
Louis Caulifield, second lieutenant in
the Philippine scouts, who was in COM
mand of the detachment which killed
the native guides in question, testified
that while Maj. Glenn directed that
the guides be executed if they failed
to lead the column to the enemy, he,
Lieut.. Caulifield, did not repeat Maj.
Glenn's orders to the detachment. He
said he gave no orders for the killing
of the guides himself, and that their
killing did not result from the orders
issued by Maj. Glenn.
A native sergeant, who accompanied
a detachment under Ramos, testified
that the first four guides had been ex-
ecuted by orders of Ramos, because
they failed to guide the column to the
enemy. This witness said the guides
had been given a chance to lead the
column. When they refused to do so
they were made to kneel and advised
to repent of their sins. The sergeant
then said that a native soldier was
stationed behind each kneeling man,
and that at the word of command the
soldiers first dubbed the guides with
their rifle butts and then bayonetted
them. The witness declared that
Lieut.. Caulifield was not present at
this execution.
The prosecution is endeavoring to
connect Maj. Glenn with the killing of
the guides by trying to show that
Ramos was present when Mai. Glenn
gave his orders to Lieut.. Caulifield.
The defense denies that Ramos was
present on this occasion.
