Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 5.--By the pas
sage Of the bill in congress permitting
the eastern railroad to build bridge
across the Monongahela river, Jones
& Laughlins will be enabled to build
the proposed ore line from Pittsburg
to Geneva, Ohio. Jones and Laughltns
have purchased land for ore docks at

long and will cross the Ohio railroad
at Smiths Ferry on the borders Of
Ohio and Pennsylvania The Wabash
system will be paralleled for some dis
tance.
It Is stated the Wabash railroad Is
interested in this project. This has
been denied by officials of the Wabash
system. Work would have been com
menced last year but labor and ma
terial were considered as too high.

HAY-HERRAN
TREATY KILLED BY FOR
ElGN INTERFERENCE.
SHOWN BY DOCUMENTS
Sent by President in Con-
ffdence to Senate.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 5.-The in
terierence of foreign governments to
prevent the ratification Of the Hay
Herran treaty between the govern
ments of the United States and Golom-
bia is clearly proven by the cores
pondeAee just sent to the senate in
confidence by the president in response
to the Culberson resolution
The documents include dispatches
passing between Ministers Hart and
Beaupre, at Bogota, and the state de-
partment, relative to the HaytHerraD
treaty. the reasons for its rejection
and the nsddling OF those representing
foreign governments. Among tbeee
documents are eablegrans calculated
to prove that Germany sought to ac-
|quire from Colombia an island in the
harbor of Carthasena for a eoaling
station, Notwithstanding the Monroe
doctrine. This island would enable that
power to virtually control the canal
when constructed Minister Hart no.
tilted the state department of these
negotiations.
SiC "ioo usffpdtShoo ihNchucu W
show that there was secret interference
at Bogota by representatives of Euro
pean nations, notably Germany and
France, to prevent the ratification Of
the treaty.
Others indicate that representation
went from Bogota to Berlin for the
purpose Of seeking TO sell either the
German government diyeet or a syn
dicate Of capitalists representing the
government, the shares OF stock owned
by Colombia In the new Panama canal
company and to encourage the purchase
of that company's concession and prop
erty by syndicate composed Of Brit
ish. German and French financiers.
1t is indicated that the assembling
of a large American feet in caribbean
waters was first brought about by an
ticipated action from the French
government in sending warships to
Colon TO protect the canal property,
representations having been made at
Paris that 1t would be threatened by a
revolution on the isthmus. There is
further correspondence indicating the
apprehension of the American repre-
sentative at Bogota that some of the
European powers would attack Colom-
bia, or possibly seize the canal zone,
because of unpaid debt.

PATENT IAJUkCTIONS

Washington, Feb. SO. P. Barnett
secretary of the Chicago Patent asso
citation, appeared before the house
committee on judiciary today in sup
port of bill which will allow courts
to issue injunctions against alleged
infringers of patents upon receiving
a copy of the patent issued, this copy
to be accepted as prima facie evi
dence.
AS 1t is now, the courts cannot is
sue an Injunction until the patent has
been adjudicated in the civil courts
a procedure sometimes consuming
eight years and taking that much time
from the life of the patent, which is
but II years.

HER CLOUDED MIND
ONCE MORE CLEAR
WOMAN WHO HAS BEEN AT
HOSPITAL
For Over Six Months,
Goes to New York.

Mrs. Nettie Stallion, Actress With
Payne's Pompeii Co., Has Recovered
From Injuries Received In Street
Car Accident Last July.
Mrs. Nettie Strahlon, who has been
an inmate of the Aultman hospital for
over six months, left that institution
Friday for her home in New York,
where her mother is lying seriously i'll.
The story Of Mrs. Strahlons sojourn
in Canton is remarkable and very sad
one.
She came here with the Payne Pom
peii show which exhibited in the
Smith fields Just off West Tuscarawas
street The night after the show had
completed it's engagement which was
on July %, she, with another actress,
was riding on q truck from the grounds
to the Valley railway switch where the
show cars were standing.
When the truck reached a point on
Tuscarawas street near the intersec-
ton Of Harrison avenue, q Massillon
car which was coming into Canton
struck the wagon upon which Mrs.
strahlon and another woman were rid
ing, Her companion escaped by jump
ing. but Mrs. Strahlon was thrown to
the ground and a number of heavy
trunks which were on the truck piled
on top of her.
She was taken from the wreck in an
unconscious condition and removed to
tie Aultman hospital, where she lay
for weeks and weeks without the
slightest sign Of returning conscious
ness, She then became semi-conscious
and fingered in that condition for
months. Recently her improvement
became more rapid and while not
wholly recovered she considered her
self able to make the journey home.
She was the mother of 12-year-old
boy who is living In New York.
The Canton-Akron railway company
paid the woman's doctor bills and the
hospital expenses of 81 day and made
a cash settlement with her before she
left the city. The money considera-
tion was not given out. Mrs Strahlon
was apparently as happy as a child at
the prospect of getting home and ex-
pressed the highest appreciation of
her treatment at the hands Of the hos
pital people and the street car COM

last municipal campaign and we
thought we had heard the last of the
boyle man cry fit only to brighten small
children, "Shall the Tiger cross the
bridge?" 1t is a false cry and sooner
or later the people of Brooklyn will
learn that their friends and associates
on this side of the big bridge bear them
no ill-will. 1t is easy for paper like
the New York Sun to picture the
Democrats of the South and West as
Huns" and some intelligent people
here in the metropolis may be deceived
thereby and votes may thus be won for
the Democratic party. 1t is easy for
Republican leaders like Boss Plat and
Gov. Odell to make the people up the
state believe that Tammany stands
ready to gobble them up at a moments
notice and that the children would bet
ter watch out, because the bad man
will certainly catch them if they stray
far from home.
But in a great city like New York it
is difficult, if not impossible, to build
up party in one borough by picturing
the people in another borough as all
things vile and mean. The Seth Low
administration tried that, and the
"slanderers' were turned out. Rapid
Transit and the extension of bridges
and ferry lines between the different
sections of the city make misunder-
standings of this nature impossible.
All that is necessary for the people of
Brooklyn is to pay five cents street car
fare and come to this side of the river
and find out for themselves that things
are not as they are painted in the
newspapers.
Brooklyn Will Have Most Delegates
1t is only a question of time before
this question will settle itself. With
Manhattan island given over to sky
scraperS, to the wholesale and-the re-
tail trade, in the not far distant future
the delegates from Brooklyn in the
city and state conventions give prom
Use of outnumbering the delegates from
Manhattan. If Brooklyn maintains her
present rate of growth. for few years
longer she may be able to nominate
mayors, governors and presidents,
while Manhattan will have to take a
back seat - -.
The interborough fights of the future
are more likely to occur between the
boroughs of Queens or Richmond or
the Bronx than between Manhattan
and the Bronx and Brooklyn. For if
Brooklyn has majority of the dele
gates to city convention, as the pres
,ent rate of increase in < population
would seem toSindicate We shall hear
no more of this cry of "home rule for
Brooklyn" When that day comes If
any section of the city sets up cry
for "home rule" it Is likely to be Man

tralization of wealth on the island,

Democratic side of the house there was
not. a break in the ranks so far as
Manhattan and the Bronx were con-

districts and sometimes in a majority
of the districts there is local disaf-

The closeness of observation that
has enabled Chief O'Connor to identify
crooks on the street regardless of
makeups that would delight Richard
Mansfield, is echoed in the minute de-
talls reported through circulars by the
Plnkertons and other American vi
docqs. Yet certain of these details are
combined with curious humor.
An Ohio embezzler, while walking.
says circular, throws his feet at an
angle and of an Ohio express agent
the information is vouchsafed that "his
knees do not act freely"
sui another Ohioan, a school boy
from Marblehead, is thus described:

incredible tale involved, is that which
is no less interesting because the secret
is out and the last chapter has been
written elsewhere.
