TRAMP HAD 100000.

Notes That He Gave Were Looked
Upon at the Time as Worthless.
ROCHESTER, n. Y, April lS.-The
death some months ago of George
Washington Todd, tramp and wander
er. revealed that he was worth 500
900, which relatives in this state and
Canada are now fighting for.
Some time before he died Maggie
Mattice of Onondaga Hill sheltered
the man. While in her house he ac-
cidentally killed her canary, and i'm
mediately wrote her a note for s., 900.
The woman kept it more for a joke
than anything else, but when the ex-
.istence OF TOdd's wealth became known
presented it against his estate. SOr-
rogate Benton upheld the note as
valid.

aThe Runaways,, monday Night.

THE Runaways, one of the most
successful musical extravaganzas OF
the past year in New York city, will
be the attraction at the Academy of
Music on March nth. Needless to say
that the piece is an elaborate produc-

at the New York Casino, where it was
generally acknowledged to be tri-
umph of stage craft Upon the scenery
and costumes Messrs. Shubert, Nixon

and Mr.. Raymond Hubbell has furn-

is laid on the fact that this is the

comes here direct from the Casino

of one hundred players, which in

WAR ON THE TRUST

In Kansas.

(By the Associated Press.)

Kansas City, Mo-, March ia
special to the Star from Independence,
kas., says:
When the convention of oil produc-
ers of Kansas was called to order here
today to map out its fight against the
Standard Oil Company there were 3,-
600 persons present. The organiza-
ton effected early in the winter at
Topeka to fight for legislation was
made permanent. Many speeches were
delivered today devoted strictly to the
business end of the situation. Whlle
the Standard Oil Company was de-
nounced the producers did not lose
sight of the fact that in order to win
their fight they must act. Among the
delegates were several leading State
legislators and many prominent busl-
ness men of Kansas.
Governor Hoch was the center of at
tention. Ida Nj. Tarbell was also re,
ceived enthusiastically.
Governor Hoch made an address in
which he said:
This is not a war upon the Stand
ard Oil Company. 1t is a war upon
it's methods Tt is not an attack upon
this great corporation. 1t is an at
tack on its commercial policies. 1t is
not an attempt to drive the Standard
Oil Company out of this State. 1t is
an attempt to compel it TO be decent.
''In my judgment Mr.. Rockefeller,

cialistic concern in the country. It's
