Al Wed Without Permission.

A wealthy Australian squatter, in
order to protect his six daughters
from fortune hunters, left his prop
erty to them in equal shares, but de,
creed that i either married with
Tef the consent Of the trustees she
should forfeit her share to her sis,
tiers. Recently, when the case came

six sisters had all married without
permission and thus each had forfeit

sisters. state of affairs which the
ladies doubtless considered highly sat-

Problem ST To-day. .4--
Now here is d new view; A writer
in the Cornhill Magazine says that the
great problem of the day is not how
we shall succeed in trade, but how we
shall keep our souls alive; the prob
lem of education not to teach boy TO
earn his living but to show him how
he may avoid spelling himself while
he earns his living. This is worth
considering, anyway.

Body Recovered.

The body of Samuel Conner of
Hagerman was found Wednesday
morning about nine miles below
Salmon falls, near Bliss. The
body was first discovered by Weston
Bliss who notified his father. Mr..
Bliss then telepboned to Robert
Conner of Hagerman, a brother of
the deceased, and he, in company
with w. w. Croco, VIM. Justice
and Erwin Condit, went to the Bliss
ranch. AS toe body was in a very
decomposed condition, having been
in the river since July 9, it was
thought advisable to bury it near
the place where found.
Samuel Conner was born in Ohio
on January 16. 1929. In 1851 he
came west to Oregon and California
where he stayed until 1852 when
he came to Idaho and carried mail
and express for mining camps in
the northern part of the state until
the fall of '64. He spent the winter
of '64 with his three brothers in
Boise after which he left for his old |
home in the east. Desiring to see
some of his old friends in the west |
again before he died he returned to
Idaho last October and since that
time has been living with his sister,
Mrs. L. Ingraharn of Hsgerman.
He became mentally unbalanced
July 8 and wandered away from
aeme. but no trace Of him could be
iound until his body was found
Wednesday.

The facilities on these fast trains are lin

running out of Chicago and sent forward
by the fast trains.

DEATH REVEALED FORGERY.
Philadelphia Broker Forged Stock Ger
tificates for q Million,

One of the most sensational cases of forg-
cry that has ever been brought to light in
financial circles in Philadelphia was dis
closed yesterday, when it was announced
that certificates calling for small numbers
of shares of stock had been fraudulently
raised to hundreds of shares, causing q
loss to certain banks and trust companies
OF Philadelphia Of from $4,000 to $780,
COO
The forgery involves the name Of the
late Benjamin H. Gaskill, who was the sole
member of the banking and brokerage con-
Germ known as Benjamin II. Gaskill & Co.
He had offices In the financial district and
his credit was considered gilt edge.
Gaskill died about four weeks ago, and at
the time of his death he was believed to be
worth about a half million dollars. He
left will and administrators began to
close up his business. patron Of The firm,
whose name is not given. bought from the
estate 100 shares of Philadelphia Traction
Company stock and 100 shares of stock OF
the United States Steel Corporation. He
turned his account over to E. e. Miller q
Co., which firm sent the 100 shares of
traction stock to the Philadelphia Traction
Company's office to have the transfer re-
corded.
The certificate did not agree with tho
company's books. and investigation
showed that the certificate had been raised
from 6 shares to 100. The discovery was
reported to T. L. Miller & Co., which MIN
Immediately notified the stock exchange,
of which Gaskill was a member, which in
turn sent out notices to its members nos
to receive stock certificates from the Cas-
kill estate.
A further investigation brought to light
a surprising state of affairs. 1t was found
that Gaskill had credited himself on his
own books with 5000 shares or Philadelphia
Traction stock, valued at approximately
100000, while the traction company's books
showed he had only 400 shares. 1t was
also discovered that he had raised stock
certificates OF the United Railways of New
Jersey from to 200, and the certificates Of
the Frankfort and Southwark Street Rail-
way Company of Philadelphia from to ~.
The latter stock Is worth $3.50 share.
Gaskill was about forty-one years of age
when he died, and was a high liver. He
was a member of the Manufacturers and
other clubs and well and favorably known.
The administrators of the estate, Lincoln
L. Eyre and George NJ. Wagner, have re-
tanned John G. johnson to protect the In
terests of the estate. Gaskill left wife,
to whom the stock exchange few days ago
paid 5000 life insurance. His seat on
the stock exchange is valued at $4,000.

years vessel owners have been required 70
mark on the stem of lifeboats their cubic
feet capacity. There was no intention to
change this provision, but it was discov-
cred after the new regulations had been
printed that ''stem" had been spelled
"stern." To change the mark from stem
to stern would have entailed loss of more
than 100000 to vessel owners. Accord
ingly the executive committee will be asked
to provide that the mark shall be placed
on the stem instead of on the stern.
Another change will be made in the rules
by the executive committee. 1t will form
ally indorse several patterns of fire extin-
guishers that were not marked approved
by the board Of supervising inspectors.
which met here last fall Complaint has
been made by several lines that II they
were compelled to change their apparatus
it would involve great expense. Accord
ingiy all exttngufshers that come up to the
standard will be approved by the execu-
tive committee.
