N. p. Meeting Adjourned.

New York, July 22.-The annual
meeting OF the stockholders of the
Northern Pacific Railway Company
was yesterday adjourned indefinitely.
In explanation, Daniel F. Lamont, the
vice president of the company, issued
a statement in which ne said the con
ttnuation of the injunction granted on
the application OF Messrs. Hartman
and Pierce, trustees. which prohibits
the distribution of stock owned by the
Northern Securities Company, makes Vt
impossible to meet the requirements OF
the charter of the Northern Pacific
Company, which prohibits the trans
action of any business at stockholders
meetings unless a majority of the out
standing stock is present and voting.
Much more han the majority of the
stock Is owned and registered In the
anne of the Northern Securities Com
pany. and under the decree of the
United States cour such stock is pro-
hibited from voting. As long as the re-
sent injunction prevails there can be
no distribution to it's stockholders by
the Northern Securities Company and
no valid meeting of the Northern Pa
cifc stockholders can be held.

little money. This touched a tender
spot in the agents heart, for he has
visited Sioux City. and knew that a

said SO or SIS, and LOOMS kindly

said he would commence hauling in a

by a local merchant and Wood sold

Results of Experiments Upon Him
self.
Pennington, n. j., July 22-Dr. Frank
w. Larison of Lambertville, coroner
of Hunterdon county. filed his report of
an inquest into the tragic death of DR..
George v. Wenner of Milford yester-
day, which shows c~onclusively that the
well known physician was driven mad
while experimenting with cocaine
upon himself. DR.. Wenner was 70 years
old and unmarried. He was a grad
uate Of the Medical and Chirurgical
college, Philadelphia. Monday night
the attention of neighbors was direc-
ted to his apartments by the crash of
broken glass.
When the door was broken open the
physician vas found raving mad, suf-
fering from the hallucination that the
floor of his apartments was on fire.
He was pounding the floor with his
loaded shotgun, and much Of b fur
| niture had been demolished. He was
securely bound, but soc lapsed into
Inconsistencies, in which condition he
remained until Tuesday morning, when
he died.
At the inquest yesterday afternoon,
DIR. c. II. Darmon, of Milford, a drug
| gist, stated that DR.. Wenner a pur-
! chased twenty grains of cocaine about
twice each week. He was In his drug
store Monday at noon and was in a
| cheerful mood. DIR. A. A.. Neil Of Mil
ford, who was summoned to DR.. Wen
ner's apartments Monday night said
he was in a stupor when he arrived
and breathing seventy-two times a
minute. He was foaning at the
mouth.
Keeps Diary of Experience.
DR.. Peter McGill, Of Lambertville,
who performed the autopsy, said that
the physician came to his death from
some poisoning. The heart and lungs
were contracted, which indicated a
powerful dose Of cocaine. The coron-
er's jury yesterday afternoon returned
a verdict that DIR. Wenner came to
his death from an overdose OF cocaine.
self administered"
From DIR. Wenner's diary it was
learned that he had been in the habit
of taking cocaine for experimental pnr-
poses and then would sit before a mir
ror to observe the physiological effect
Of the poison.

Trustees Ordered to Make Accounting
of tho Smith Case Then.

GpeCtdl 10 LINES cpuO3Sd
Davenport, July 19.-Judge Bollinge.
has ordered the trustees to make a re-
port In the Smith matter Sept. /. This
was decided upon yesterday afternoon
after some dozen attorneys involved In
the different estates met at h court
house and had a long conference to-
gether with the judge.
AS the tangle had been unraveled II
has been found that some OF the mort
cages are credited to several or all OF
the estates. and 1t now becomes the
question as to who has the right title
to these.
The entire affair is so involved that
there Is little hope OF having things ad-
justed without some litigation arising
but an endeavor will be made to have
the matters adjusted as much as posi-
fble before the report is made.

Shut Off Demand
PRICES WE'RE is TO 20 LOWER
A Few Cattle Were Sold at Steady
Prices Before Resumption of Strike
Was Announced Hog; Were Active
Early at 10 Lower Prices, But Strike
Made a Dull Market.

Chicago. July 22.-Cattle-There was
a remarkably large Friday supply. a
few sellers managed to sell some cat
tie at steady prices, then the strike
was resumed and the men walked cut.
That left the demand confined to city
butchers and outside buyers. The
market was practically almost dead
| and prices 1920 lower.
Buyers still discriminate against big
heavy steers, the local demand for
these being quite narrow, while eastern
order buyers say that many of such
grades have been shipped to eastern
points since he strike began, and that
eastern markets are flooded with that
class Of beef, while values are con-
siderably lower.
Many of the local traders who hnve
been closely studying the strike sitila-
ton, sent hurry up messages to the
country Wednesday might, advising
shippers of the agreement reached be-
tween packers and the ufiions, that
operations would be resumed in Pack
ingtown today. This advise caused a
quite heavy supply of cattle for to-
days market. There are many hun

Sheep.
The packers and other buyers did n
little trading early, but resumption of
the strike put an N to the business
and thereafter little was done.
From the condition OF western range
lambs that have arrived here thus far
this season it is safe to assume that a
larger percentage OF western range
lambs than usual will arrive here this
year In condition attractive to slaugh-
terers. This naturally indicates a
smaller proportion of feeding lambs
than usual, and as the Incentive to feed
lambs on a liberal scale generally In the
east and west this year will be great.
everything points to relatively strong
prices for feeding lambs the coming
season. Ranchmen win find Chicago
the best market in the country for their
feeding lambs. as usual. as the terri
tory that draws on Chicago for feeding
lambs extends from the Atlantic to the
Mississippi.

SAVINGS Banks in Schools.

Pierre, S. D., July pa little over
a year ago the school savings bank
system was started in one of the ward
schools OF this city, and since that time
1t has spread to several rooms in other
schools and the savings have reached
the amount OF $726.24, the average de-
posit of the pupils who have taken ad-
vantage Of it being 1913. The deposits
run from a few cents up to $50 or more
on the part OF a few pupils.
The deposit books show that over so
per cent Of the pupils in the rooms
where the plan has been inaugurated
are among the depositors. and 1t Is
likely that every room In the schools
will be included before the close OF the
year.
The deposits are carried In the Ma
tional Bank OF Commerce, which pays
S per cent on them.
The cashier of the bank says that
very few of the depositors nave drawn
out, altho Fourth OF July and circus
vas too great a temptation for some
of them. But others are increasing
their deposits since school closed, and
these more than make up for the with
drawals.
Wireless a Cause of Rain.
M%eteorology has more to answer for
in the way of fanciful theories than all
the other sciences put together. The
latest within is that wireless telegraphy
produces rain. Recentely a wireless
station has been completed at Fraser
burg, in Scotland, and a local report
declares that Since the erection of the
shaft hardly a day has passed without
a heavy rain rainfall, particularly dur
the hours Of experimenting, and the in
habitants of the district have come to
regard the presence of the station with
some suspicion" Nor are they alone,
for residents of Poldhu, In Cornwall,
have complained OF excessive rain
since the erection of the Marconi tele-
grs phic mast there, and representa-
tons are to be made to have the shaft
removed.
But for an etheric wave to produce
any effect an extremely delicate piece
of apparatus known as the Coherer
must be present, and it is highly doubt-
full whether the minute yesicles of va
por in the clouds are Just SO sypton-
lied as to resemble the coherer n be
thrown into vibrations made to
coalesce into rain by the wireless
waves.
Mr.. Maconi laughs at the idea. IF"
he says, anyone ca improve that j arr
spelling the English weather ! shall
have great pleasure in dropping my
work In this country and sending my
nstrumen to Australia or Egypt,
where rain is very much wanted This
reply pegs the question, for an etherie
wave might affect the suspended va
nor IN the moist atmosphere of Corn
wall or Scotland and yet have no in
fuence on the dry air of Australia and
north Afica. It is open to any expert
mentsr to try in h laboratory wheth-
er Hartzians waves will affect vapors
of any density.
