to offer to cooperate, with District At

er, Superintendent Kilburne suggests
the advisability of thorough investi-
cation with a view of ascertaining
whether any one officially connected
with the German bank has been guilty
of wrong doing.
Il am not informed" says Superin-
tendent Kilburne, "as to whether the
district attorney of Erie county pro
poses to make this investigation or
not 1t ought, however, to be made
and conducted in such manner as to
sift matters TO the bottom"
In his communication to Attorney
Becker, Attorney General Mayer states
that the essential purpose of the in,
| vestigation Is Ito ascertain in what
respect the law may be changed or
otherwise improved so as to guard
against similar situations or at least
to substantially minimize the danger
of such conduct of state bank here
after" ..

MASSACHUSETTS
Gas IS ROTTEN
ANOTHER FRENZiED THRILLER
BY THOMAS w. LAWSON.

Boston. Mass, Jan. 5.-Mr. Thomas
w. Lawson today issued the following
statement on Massachusetts Gas.
"Of course. | am biased on Massa-
chusetts Gas, that is, / cannot see
anything honest in the enterprise, be-
cause | know 1t to be rotten from the
core to the skin and the skin back to
the seeds, but
I'm a confidential way learned last
night of things which cannot tell to-
day, or ever unless on the witness
stand in court of law. but can say
now
IF owned Massachusetts, Gas com
mon and / sold it to another at S39 a
share today, l would feel that / was
robbing the buyer Of S36 a share. or
If | were short of it, | think l know
where l could cover 10000 to $4,000
shares at $780, probably $2S, possibly
$25.
"Of all the games that have been
worked in the stock market my infor-
nation shows me this is a little worse
than any other
"A syndicate is supposed to be hold
ing the bulk of the common locked up.
| advise any man who has honestly
locked his up, supposing all the rest
was locked UP too, to go and make the
Missouri demand. Show me it,
Il unqualifedly advise any holder of
the Massachusetts Gas common to sell
at anything over $40 share, or any
holder of preferred to sell at OYER $4S
a share and sell mighty quick.
One thing ! advise-don't sell this
stuff short-unless you are one of the
favored few who have got an under
ground connection with the syndicate
tie-up, where you can buy at reduced
rates"

SANTA FE ASKS
FOR HEARING
BEFORE THE INTERSTATE CON-
MERGE COMMISSION.
Claim Made That the Comm ssion Was
Used as Catsoaw in DAM
age Suit.

NChicagO, Ill. Jan. 5.-Presldent f..
p. Ripley of the Atchlson, Topeka
and Santa Fa Railroad Co., announced
tonight that he has asked tins inter
state commerce commission to grant
rc.hearing in the case recently heard
in this city. The hearing in question
was in connection with damage suit
brought by the Caledonian Coal Co, of
New Mexico, against the Sante Fe
railroad, in which the charge was
made that the Santa Fe Co. unjustly
Disseminated in its rates against the
complainant and in favor of the Col
orado Fuel & Iron Co.
Much bitterness developed at the
hearing and later on President Ripley
in public statement declared that
| the interstate commerce commission
had allowed iself to be used "as a
catspaw" in a damage suit in which
the real points TO be determined in
court were not pertinent to its func-
tions.
Interest in the matter was renewed
yesterday when Representative Baker
of New York introduced in the house
of representatives a resolution con.
cerning the alleged rebates paid the
Colorado Fuel & Iron Co under an
agreement made while Secretary OF
Navy Morton was traffic manager of
the Santa Fe system. .
Mr.. Ripley said to a representative
of the Publishers Press tonight that
| the attacks made upon the company
of which he is the head since the last
session of the commission, had deter
mined him to ask for the re-hearing
| in order that the Santa Fe company
may have an opportunity to distinct
| ly make public it's side of this case
insufficient notice served upon the
company before, both for the Ell Pasc
and Chicago hearings, had made this
impossible in the time allowed.
President Riplsy said he would take
the stand himself in the matter and
intimated that Mr.. Morton would dc
the same. There has, he said, been
enough defamation of the company's
methods of doing business and it is
quite time that it should be set right
before the general public.
The date for the re-hearing, "
granted. rests, of course, with tn;
commission.

Rising Sun, Ind, Jan. 5.-"We, the
ujry, find the defendant guilty of muir
der and fix his punishment at impris-
onment for life"
This verdict was read to James
Gillespie at 7:25 this evening and the
terrible murder of Elizabeth Gillespie

James Gillespie, in charge of Sheriff
Rump, entered the dimly lighted court
room with a smile upon his face.
The prisoner made no demonstration
and showed no surprise when the ver-
dict was announced.
DR.. Gillespie grasped his brother by
the arm when Judge Cornell ordered
the sheriff to return the convicted man
to his cell. au
crowd followed the sheriff and
Gillespie on the way to the jail. AS
they neared the jail Gillespie became
weak and had to be helped to his cell

people in general and by representa-

lHeTe was u CROWDED court TOOm
when Judge Hole handed down his de-
cision in the Whelan divorce case
Thursday morning He refused to
grant the divorce, but gave the wife
$500 for attorney -ges and $75 a
month for the support of herself and
the two children, aged respectively I
and 10. After the nrst OF April the
home at Cleveland goes into her pos
session. Judge Whelan had already
made over this property to his wife.
When Judge Hole reached the point
in his decision where he announced
that he would not grant a divorce,
Mrs Whelan became hysterical and
had to be removed from the court
room. She cried aloud and while the
judge was concluding her means and
cries could be heard from the room in
the rear where she had been taken. 1t
was quite sensational scene.
After the conclusion of the case
! Judge Whelan went back and wanted
to say good bye to his wife before
| leaving for Cleveland, but Joseph Bic
chcle, Jr., a brother of the wife. de-
nied him the privilege and used some
rather caustic language.
| Judge Holes decision was comment
ed upon favorably by the greater num-
| ber of those who heard it. 1t was in
substance as follows:
