New York, Sept. 27.-Upon the con-

George C. Van Tuyl, Jr., secretary and
treasurer of the Albany Trust COM
pany who produced a transcript of
the account of Andrew Hamilton,

He stated that neither the bank nor
he had knowledge of the purpose for

Mr.. Van Tuyl was excused and
Henry Rogers Winthrop, assistant
secretary of the Equitable Life AS

mony as to the transactions of his
company. Mr.. Winthrop said in reia-
ton to the bonds issued on the re-
organization of the Union Pacific road.
the Equitable society was allotted
$750,000 Of the bonds and the profits
the society received from this transac-
ton were $3.50 shares of Union Pa
cific preferred stock.
The Equitable society, Mr.. Win
throp said, paid only for the amount
for which it subscribed.
Mr.. Hughes, counsel for the COM
mittee, asked why it was that the
Equitable society had presented $780,
900 to the Mercantile Trust company.
Mr.. Winthrop said it was because
the checks were paid that way. Sew
aera1 vouchers signed by George n.
SQuires as secretary of a finance COM
mittee of the Equitable society were
shown in evidence as also was a letter
from George H. Squires, for the Mer-

Mr.. Winthrop said that General

In a Northern Pacific syndicate the

NEW FACILITIES.
State journal Has Ordered New
Faster Machinery.

The Goss Printing Press company of
Chicago are now building the upper
deck for what will be when completed
the State Journals new fast 2S-page
press.
The work will be finished prior to
December 1st.
This will give this paper the largest
and fastest printing press in the state
nothing in Kansas now printing % pages
in book form at one time.
The State Journal may not often
print % pages. It has printed 20 pages
only once or twice in the last year,
but every day prints ten pages, two
copies at time. The new deck will
give the plant facilities for printing
an extra number of pages above the
usual number as fast as ten pages are
printed now.
Once every week, on Saturday, and
often on Fridays when twelve pages
are printed the press must be run
half speed. With the new deck our
Friday and Saturday issues may be
printed as quickly as any ordinary
issue of ten pages.
Our present press is but three years
old and is the finest and best in Kan
sas today and although it will print
twenty pages at once, that is duplicate
copies of ten pages each, it is already
too slow for us.
Accompanying the order for TIE
matrix roller machine which saves
time in the stereotype room and gen.
orally facilitates the more prompt
issue of the paper. No office in Kan
SaS now makes its matrices by other
than the old hand process.

TEN DAYS FLAT.
Ship Carrying Taft Party Breaks
Transpacific Record.

San Francisco, Sept. 27.-The Pa
ciflc Mail Steamship company's liner
Korea, Captain Feeder, arrived today
from the Orient beating the Trans
pacific record by several hours. Among
her passengers were Secretary of War
Taft and most of the members of the
party which left with him for the far
east on the Manchuria on July last.
The Korea sailed from Yokohama on
September II. and came direct to this
city, emitting the usual stops at Homo
lulu. The best time for this passage
was made by the same vessel which
held the previous record of ten days
and Is hours. On this trip she has
covered the distance in little over ten
days fiat.

IN TOPEKA
Oakland Wooden Mills Will Also
Be Enlarged.
Company Organized With Capt.
tai of $685.

The Topeka Woolen Mills will be re-
tanned in Topeka and the mills will be
almost doubled in their capacity. This
means the employment OF about 200
hands. This is the best news that has
come to Topeka for several weeks.
The Topeka Woolen mills are located
in Oakland. Early this summer there
was a decided effort made to disman-
tie the plant and ship the whole factory
to Kansas City. The plant was closed
down in consequence of this change of
policy and the employees were dismiss
ed some of them moving to Kansas
City. The plant has been idle ever
since but the actual process of remov-
ing the plant to Kansas City has been
deferred from time to time at the earn
est solicitation of the members of the
Commercial club who attempted to de-
wise some inducement which would
make the owners of the mill change
their mind. The presence of natural
gas in Topeka very shortly as source
of power and fuel is supposed to have
some effect in producing the wished for
detention of the plant in Topeka. The
long haul of luel to the mill has been
one of the elements which induced the
owners in the first place to think OF
change in site.
The company has been reorganized
and a charter was taken out this after
noon, the capital stock is placed at $780,
OOO E. E. Holmes and w. p. Holmes,
prominent capitalists of Kansas City
are interested lrgeIy in the reorgani-
cation. J. E. McAfee, George Neil and
oscar Neil are also interested heavily.

new machinery. The buildings will be
enlarged to almost double their former
capas ity. We will start I'D within a

The report of the killing of David
Geary, as it was published in the daily
papers at the time, was as follows:
'Leavenworth, Sept. 15.-Because of a
tracks until the last moment, which is
said to be usual to many of the old
soldiers at the Home, Missouri Pacific
train No. 10S failed to slow up and stop
at Rock Point near the Soldiers Home
and in consequence struck and instant
1y killed David Geary, veteran of Com
pany c, Fifteenth Indiana volunteers,
and member of L barracks at the
Home.
s.Geary was walking along the track
at the time and failed to heed, If he
heard, the whist1ing and bell ringing
from the engine. He was struck full IN
the back, hurled to the side of the track
and almost buried in a puddle of mud.
When the trainnen got back to him he
was dead.
According to the report sent cut by
Conductor Wilson and Engineer Clark
last night the old man was walking
curve when first seen. The train was
making upwards of 80 miles an hour
and did not slow or stop. The whistle
was sounded again and again and the
bell rang loudly, but the old man did
not seem to heed. Once he partially
turned his face and this all the more
led the engineer to believe that Geary
was merely showing his nerve ana
would step off the track in time. When
too late an effort was made to stop.
when found Geary had bottle OF
whisky in his pocket. He had evident
ly been drinking and probably had not
heard the train at all"
