PRIVATE CAR LINES.
IBy Associated Press


Washington, Oct. 19.-Several traf-
fic managers of southeastern railroads
testified before the interstate COM
merce commission today in the pri-
vate car inquiry concerning the man
ner of handling fruit and perishable
products in their territory. Most of
them said they had entered into ar
rangements with private car lines by
which the latter engaged to take the
responsibility for the handling of
fruit, the railroads acting as agents
only in the matter of transportation.
A. Allis, an ice manufacturer of Au-
gusta, Ca, submitted a contract his
company has to supply the Armour
car lines with ice, and gave many de-
tails concerning the arrangement with
the private car line.

present as the head of committee
OF ladies appointed by Mayor McNinch
to receive Mrs. Roosevelt When the
president was introduced he took her
hand and remained talking for fully
five minutes.
"Mrs. Jackson, you do not know
how glad I am to meet you," he said.
What, the widow of the great Stone
WALL Jackson? Why, it is worth the
whole trip down mere to have a chance
to shake your hand"
He referred to her grandson, Jack
son Christian, whom he appointed to
a cadetship at West Point. "He is a
mighty fine fellow, Mrs. jackson,
mighty fine fellow, by Jove,' he added.
The citizens committee waited
while he escorted Mrs. Jack
son to Mrs. Roosevelt and introduced
her.
While the president was speaking
in the park Mrs. Jackson entertained
Mrs. Roosevelt at her home and a
hundred Charlotte women helped to
entertain her. After Mrs. Roosevelt
had returned to the car she sent a
handsome boquet of American Beauty

Andrews said that not only was the
100000 paid, but that General Greene
failed to remember an additional pay
ment of 100000 to the revolutionists.
General Greene himself personally au-
thorized and approved< this latter pay
ment, the witness said. He added that
the $13O,OOO had been furnished by
the Asphalt Company of America, a
subsidiary company of the National
Asphalt company.
Money Was Extorted.
General Andrews said that this
money was really extorted; that it
was paid to protect the property Of
the company and not as voluntary
support of the revolution. He said
that General Matos came to New York
in the summer of 1901 and upon his
representation that the companies
was in danger, they had paid
first the $100,OOO0 and then the $780,
900.

Berlin, Oct. 19.-Emperor William
had a narrow escape from serious in
jury this evening. His majesty was
crossing the street in front of the
castle in his auto car, when an auto
mobile cab approached at high speed.
The chauffeur of the emperor's car

Of Native Stone.
The building is constructed In the
main from stone cut from the quarries
two miles north of town, and there is
not a stone in the walls that came
from beyond the confines of Yellow
stone county. The main portion of
the walls are from the Billings stone
while the trimmings are from the
beautiful blue stone quarries at Co
lumbus. The Columbus stone is count
ed the best in the state. All of the
stone was sawed and with the excep-
tion of the window sills and caps and
other projected portions, the walls are
of smooth surface. A gigantic tower

The semi-circle annex on this floor
is fitted up for the county commission

a large directors table, bank of Eng

with the office of the county clerk,
which occupies the southeast corner
of the floor. The clerks office is pro-

outside windows guarded by steel
shutters. The vault is available for
Office purposes and is used by the
abstract men in their work Below
the office vault is a large storage vault
where there is ample room to store the
old records of the county for years to
come. Connected with the clerks of

county treasurer, which is also large

in front of it's counters. This office is
also provided with light vault. In
fact, every Office in the building, with
two exceptions, perhaps, is en- suite,
