FARMERS MISTAKE
COPS FOR ROBBERS
They Go to Sleep In Barn and
Put Up Fight When
Awakened

Benjamin Ives, aged twenty years,
and Harry Huych.s aged twenty-five,
farmers from Rosemount, went to sleep
in barn at the corner Of South wa
basha and Fillmore avenue last night.
When awakened sat II o'clock by a
policeman and detective they thought
they were being approached by rob-
bers, and fought desperately till the
officers succeeded in persuading them
that they would be safe if they yielded
and that they could have lodging at
the Ducas street police station.
Ives and Huych had disposed of two
loads of hay, ard not wanting to re-
turn to their homes last night, placed
their horses and wagons in a livery
stable. Instead of going to a lodging
house they entered barn at the cor
ner of South Wabasha street and Fill
more avenue, and had fallen asleep
when Patrolman Kuettel and Detective
Rowland, who had been notified that
two suspicious characters had been
seen entering the barn. broke in and
groped about the interior.
Huych, who had SIS in his pocket.
out resisting bravely. He placed the
money in his hat, which he put on the
floor. Ives had SIS in his pocket, but
he did not remove the money. The
two farmers, resolved to fight to the
last, advanced against he officers, who
supposed they had encountered a pair
Of desperadoes. The policeman, the
detective and the farmers had a hard
fight before they came 10 an under
standing.
When the men finally surrendered
they found that Huychs hat had been
kicked and that the money had van
ished. A long search was necessary
before the money was found by Pa
trolman Kuettel. The farmers ex-
planned to the officers that they had
merely wanted to sleep in the barn
over night, and that they intended to
get their teams and return to their
homes today. They were held at the
Ducas street station last night on a
charge of trespass, and will be ar
raigned in the police court this morn

ROAD DISCOOIEARNER
Under Mr.. Hin the Burlington
Breaks Record In Iowa
Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe
SIOUX CITY, Iowa, June 1O.-The
strongest claims that were made on
behalf of James J. Hills railroad man
agement, when he took over the big
Burlington system, have been more
than sustained by the showing that
road has made in Iowa the last year.
Reports just filed with the state ex-
ecutive counsel of earnings for 1903
show that for the first time the Bur-
1ington is the largest money Garner i'll
Iowa. Moreover, it shows gross earn
ings of over $4,000 per mile for all
lines in the state, an increase of over
$4,000 from the preceding year.
This immense increase is the more
remarkable because it was made in a
year of generally decreasing railroad
revenues. The increase is attributed
to the magical influence of Hill man
agement. The North Western system,
for many years leader in earnings
second place.
When Hill took the Burlington and
guaranteed to pay per cent annually
on it's stock, it was freely predicted
he could not do it, The old managers
of the Burlington were the most doubt
full of all the doubters. The road has
never paid above 6 per cent and had
averaged less than for ten years;
and at that it was recognized as one
of the best managed roads in the
West.
Economies in operation, especially
the adoption of the Hill system of
loading cars SO as to get the greatest
possible proportion of freight COM
pared to the dead weight, and the
advantages of the alliance with the
other Hill roads in. securing business,
are given as the chief reasons for the
roads wonderful showing. 1t is said
that the showing in other states is as
good as in Iowa.

N. COMBES WILL
BE INVESTIGATED
Carthuslan Scandal Aalan
Arises to Plague the French
Premier

PARIS, June 1O.-During an acri-
monious discussion in the chamber of
deputies today between Premier
Combes and M Millerand. the Socialist
ex-minister, someone on the Right
shouted: What about the Carthusian
miilions?" alluding to scandal that
has caused violent controversy in the
press and was subject of judicial in
vestigation few months ago.
That is one of the most painful rec
objections of my life," replied the pre-
mier. Il sacrificed certain proof of an
infamy committed against me to high
political considerations"
Immediately after the current ques-
ton had been concluded a deputy ask
ed leave to interpellate on the subject
of the alleged bribery Premier Combes
expressed satisfaction at the oppor-
tunity to reveal secret which had
weighed on him and he made the fol-
lowing statement: Tn December, 1902.
the secretary of the ministry Of the in
terror informed me that he had re-
ceived visit from a person Offering
100000 francs if 1 would bring in a
bill authorizing the Carthusian monks
to remain at Grande Chartreuse. (The
secretary of the ministry of the in
terror was Edgar Combes, the pre-
mier's son.) I replied that the person
would better not enter my room unless
he wanted to go out the window, and
attached no further Importance to the
incident until few months later, aft
er a bill refusing an authorization to
the Carthusians had been brought in
The newspapers accused the secretary
of having asked a million francs for
me to make a speech in favor of the
Carthusians. An investigation was
made and the intermediary, who was
M. Lagrave, the commissioner Of
France to the st. Louis exposition
was examined, but he refused to name
the person for whom he had acted.
'The minister of commerce cabled
to M. Lagrave, ordering him to give
the name. He replied that he had
former chief. M. Millerand sought me
and begged me not to divulge the name
for important political reasons. The
matter was then dropped
A lively debate ensued Several
deputies demanded a full public in.
vestigation of the attempt to corrupt
the premier. Premier Combes declared
that the government wished full light
to be thrown on the matter, and did
not care whether an investigation was
made by a parliamentary commission
or by the judicial authorities. The
chamber decided almost unanimously
to appoint a commission of thirty three
deputies, which will be elected Tues
day, to investigate.

LETS MRS. ELIAS GO
Platt Is Disappointing Witness
and Woman Is Rearrested

NEW YORK, June 10.-Mrs. Elias
was discharged this afternoon on mo-
ton of Assistant District Attorney
Rand at the conclusion of the testi-
mony of John r. Platt, the aged mill
Iionaire, who caused her arrest for ex-
tortion. Mr. Platt proved a disappoint
ing witness. To questions bearing di-
rectly on the charges on which the
woman's arrest had been made, he an
swered repeatedly: 81 don't know"
His helplessness and his apparently
unreliable memory surprised those
who attended his examination. He did
not remember whether he had given
Mrs. Elias large sums of money dur
ing the past ten years, as charged. and
did not remember signing certain Of
the papers in connection with his
charges against her. The ordeal was a.
trying one for the aged man, and his
replies became scarcely audible to-
ward the last. AS soon as he had left
the witness chair Assistant District
Attorney Rand said: your honor. +
think the parties to this miserable
scandal ought to be allowed to stew in
their own grease. There is no evil
dence before you that will possibly
serve to hold this woman on a charge
of extortion. recommend that she be
discharged"
The magistrate thereupon discharg-
ed the woman.
Immediately afterward Mrs. Elias
was rearrested on writ in the civil
suit originally brought against her by
Mr.. Platt to recover $685., 900. She
was released a few minutes later on
$zo,oOO bail and was escorted by de-
tectlves through the crowded corridors
OF the criminal courts building to the
street where her carriage was wait
ing.
When Mr.. Platt. feeble and trem-
bling and apparently dazed, was help
ed out Of the building, the crowd hoot-
ed and Kissed.

TRUSTS MAKE Mr..
KNOX A SENATOR
President RooseveItIs Declared
to Be a Party to the
Scheme
Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 10. -
Philander Knox, the busting at
torney general of the United States,
has been forced on the people Of Penn
sylvania as Matthew S. Quay's success
sor in the United States senate, and
the men who have made his appoint
ment certain are the head and front of
the biggest trusts in the United States.
President Roosevelt is a party to the
scheme, according to Knoxs own state
ments.
The trusts, represented by H. c.
F'rick, the heaviest individual stock
holder in the United States steel trust !;
Alexander j. Cassett, president Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad company, which
is one of the principal defendants in
the coal trust suits now pending, and
Don Cameron, representing the Stand
ard Oil and Wall street interests, at a
meeting at Cassatts office on Wednes-
day, demanded that Boies Penrose.
Pennsylvania state boss, consent to
Gov. Pennypacker's appointment of
Knox to the United States senate. Aft
er lengthy conference, the full import
of which is not revealed to the public,
the eminent trust representatives sep
arated.
Thursday morning Attorney General
Knox met Frick, Cassatt and Cameron
in second conference and yielded to
their persuasions to accept the berth in
the senate. Then renewed demands
were made upon Penrose to yield to
the plan to make Knox Pennsylvania's
junior senator, and he finally surren-
dered to the arguments of the men who
represent monopolies and millions.
In the conference Knox stated to his
friends that his consent to become a
candidate was made with President
RooseVelts acquiescence, and Pennsyl-
vania Republicans are wondering.
The fact of Knox's forthcoming ap-
pointment was made known here YES
terday, but hot until today did it be-
come public property that his selection
was brought about by a conference of
the biggest trust influences in the
country, and there is much speculation
as to what it means. Deseryedlv or
otherwise, Attorney General Knox had
won a reputation as the determined
and aggressive foe of the trusts of the
United States, and their anxiety
to secure him a seat in the senate.
where his ability to injure them
will be much greater than in any mere
administrative office, is not satisfac-
tor1ly explained. Republican newspa-
pers throughout Pennsylvania editori
ally agree that the effect of this sur
render of the Republicans to trust in
f1uences will cost the national admin
istraticn heavily, and Democratic
newspapers of the state are making
the most of the capitulation of the
opposition party to trusts and trust in
fluences.
HARRISBURG, Pa, June 1O.-Gov.
Pennypacker today appointed Philand-
er c. Knox successor to the late Sena-
tor Quay. The governor announced
that he will not call the legislature in
extra session. This means that the
appointment of Mr.. Knox Is for the un-
expired term ending March 4, 1905.

LORD DUNDONALD
MUST VACATE
Commander of Canadian Militia viii Pay
for, an IndIscreton

OTTAWA, Ont, June 1o.-Lord Dun
donald, commanding officer of the Ca
madam militia and hero of the South AT
rican war, must resign his position or
his appointment will be Cancelled by the
Canadian government. The cause of the
rupture was speech delivered recently

he stated that the appointment of officers
in the militia was by political prefer
ment.
The matter was up in the house of
commons today. Sir Wilfrid Laurier the
premier, condemned Lord Dundonald's in
discretion in strong terms. The com
manding officer of the Canadian militia
is appointed by the British government.
AS it would be impossible to retain an
officer in the position who was not in ac
cord with the government Of the Domin-
ion nothing remains for Lord Dundonald
to do but resign or his appointment will
be Cancelled.

that men and women are too much in

it is necessary to keep NJ with the times
and you can only do it by studying
constantly.
There is everything in opportunity,

But it does not hold that successful
