it was on his person, he was pursued

that he had only q few minutes in

Six plaster casts of Napoleon were dry

still soft. In an instant Beppo, a
skilful workman, made q small hole
in the wet plaster, dropped in the
pearl, and with few touches covered
over the aperture once more. 1t was
an admirable hiding-place. No one
could possibly find it, But Bnppo was
condemned to years imprisonment
and in the meanwhile his six busts
were scattered over London. He could
not tell which contained his treasure.
Only by breaking them could he see.
Even shaking would tell him nothing
for as the plaster was wet it was
probable that the pearl would adhere
to it-as in fact, it has done Beppo
did not despair, and he conducted his
search with considerable ingenuity
and perseverance. Through a cousin
who works with Gelder, he found out
the retail firms who had bought the
busts. He managed to find employ
ment with Morse Hudson, and in that
way tracked down three of them. The
pearl was not there. Then, with the
help of some Italian employee, he sue
ceeded in finding out where the other
three busts had gone. The first was
at Harker's. There he wa logged by
his confederate, who held Beppo re-
sponslble for the loss of the pearl, and

REBATE GRANTING CHARGED
CHICAGO AND ALTON RAILROAD
AND TWO FORMER OFF,
GALS INDICTED.

Chicago, Dec. 14.-The federal grand
jury has returned indictments against
the Chicago and Alton Railroad com
pany, John NJ. Faithorn, former vice
president of the company, and J. A
Wann, former general freight agent.
The railroad company and the two
ex-officers are included in one indict
ment, in which there are ten counts
against the company and against each
of the two men. The general charge
is that the railroad company, with the
sanction of the two officers, paid il.
legal rebates to the clearinghouse firm
of Schwarzschild & Sulzberger for the
purpose of procuring shipments from
the concern, and also, with the same
object, gave free transportation to the
employees of the concern
The indictment which was returned
is based on testimony given to the
grand jury by B. S. Cusey, traffic
manager for Schwarzschild & Sulz-
berger, who has appeared before the
jury on two separate occasions. Cusey
was one OF four employees of the pack
inghOuse firm who were indicted some
time ago for soliciting rebates All of
them pleaded guilty and each was
fined $4,000 by Judge Humphrey.
Three specific violations of the law
against the granting of rebates arc
mentioned in the Indictment. The
railroad company is charged with hay
ing refunded 81 per car on forty-four
cars of dressed beef shipped from
Kansas City to various Eastern points
in December, 1903. A similar rebate
Is alleged to have been paid on TWEEN
ty-three cars of dressed beef shipped
from Kansas City in January, 1904
The railroad company is also charged
with having refunded $4,000 in passen-
ger fares paid by the packing COM
pany between Jan. |, 1909, and Sept.
1, 1904, for transportation of It's Off
GERS and agents.

BETTER CONSULAR SERVICE
SECRETARY ROOT MAKES PLEA
FOR REORGANIZATION OF
THAT DEPARTMENT.

Washington, Dec. 4.-Secretary of
State Root attended the meeting of the
senate committee on foreign relations
during the day. He discussed the bill
introduced by Senator Lodge providing
for the reorganization of the consular
service. 1t is understood that the Isle
of Pines treaty and the treaty relating
to Santo Domingo were considered
briefly.
The secretary of state asked that
the consular service be classified and
the president authorized to assign
members of the classes proposed to
such posts as the interests OF the serv-
ice require instead of having appoint
ments made for specified posts. The
creation OF an adequate inspection
service and the adjustment Of the fee
system was recommended by Score
tary Root in accordance with the rec
concentrations made by President
Roosevelt in his message to congress.
This would necessitate a material in.
crease in salaries at consulates where
the fee system has been followed. An
increase in working forces was asked
for, the, secretary saying that at: a
number OF foreign posts there are not
sufficient employees for the perform
ance of duties imposed by the imnli-
grafton laws The need Of Suitable
Quarters for embassies and legations
was emphasized by the secretary, who
declared that the poor accommoda,
tons provided detract from the re-
spect to which the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of this government are en-
titled. Secretary Root also asked the
committee to make provision for the
creation of the post of minister to the
new kingdom of Norway.

TOO MUCH ROCKEFELLER
Chicago University Professor Turne,
Down by Trades Assembly.

Columbus, O., Dec. 14.-Consider-
able comment has been occasioned at
the action of the Columbus trades and
labor assembly in declining to accept
the services Of a professor of the Chi
cagO university to deliver course of
lectures here under the auspices of the
assembly. The assembly was asked to
pay portion of the expenses of the
professor and the assembly promptly
declined to receive the services of the
Chicago man. The reason given is
that the Chicago university has had
John D. Rockefeller as a benefactor
and it is almost entirely due to his
contributions that the university owes
It's eXtensiveness and high rank in the
educational world. One Of the dele
gates maintained that the professors
at the Univ ersity of Chicago had to
teach and stand for the things that
were favored by the oil magnate and
when they ceased to do this their posi-
lions were jeOpardiZed. In view of
this the prC0osition was turned down
and committee consisting of Dele
gates Phelan, Houck and Little APP
pointed to arrange for lectures, secur-
ing them from a source above sus.
