Thinks Federal Control Of Rail
roads is Necessary.
Government Ownership Of Railways.
However. Would BE Fatal TO
the Industry.
MUST he WISELY REGULATED.

Washington, Jan. Secretary
of the Navy Morton. formerly vice
president of the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe railroad company, is
the author of an article on the rail
way rebate question in the Outlook
He in the outset expressly disclaims
writing as the representative of
President Roosevelt's administration,
and says he speaks merely as one
with somewhat extensive experience
pertinent to an important subject
The secretary, in the article, says
there are very few complaints against
railroad rates per Sc in the United
States. the chief trouble being with
"the relation of rates as between
markets"
He says there are as many rates
that are too low as there are rates
which court would decide too high
and that either class may be equally
disastrous to communities. He ex-
pressed the opinion that federal sup
ervision of railroads is necessary but
adds that regulation and protection
should go together.
He says that one of the three
things following is sure to take place
in the conduct of our railways.
Legalization of pools; unification
of ownership, thereby delivering in
time the entire railway ownership of
the country into the hands of few
individuals or one syndicate; or gov
eminent ownership.
In Mr.. Morton's opinion govern
ment ownership would be the be-
ginning of industrial and political
chaos. He favors a continuance of
the interstate commerce commission
in substantially its present form.
He would have all transportation
by rail considered interstate COM
merce and subject only to federal
courts.
Il would favor" he says, 1.-The agi-
tation and shaping of public opinion
that would not tolerate such a thing
as a preferential rate. and would
make it equally disagreeable to grant
or receive it. The presidents mes
sage on this subject meets the views
of all good citizens, whether engag-
ed in railroading or shipping"

TRIED TO PREVENT A SCANDAL

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan, 13.-The
board of inquiry appointed to con-
slider the Talbot-lrvine controversy,
which failed to take action on Tues
day because of lack of a quorum,
met again today at Reading, Pa. DR..
Irvine last night gave TO the press
copy of a letter which he has sent
to the board of inquiry. In II he says
he is willing to waive the canonical
restriction and have the proceedings
open to the public. He intlmates that
three members are Committed to
the fact of upholding Bishop Talbot.
whatever the evidence may be-"
'The gentlemen to whom | refer"
says Irvine, ARE Rev. Doctors Jones
and Israel, and James NJ. Lambert
ton.
| REV. DR.. Jones was member of
the standing committee of central
Pennsylvania to whom Bishop Tai
bot brought false charges con-
cocted the bishop and Mrs.
Emma d. Elliott and his vote adj
vised the bishop to proceed against
me.
Rev DR.. Israel was one of three
gentlemen appointed by Bishop Tai
bot to act for him as a committee of
inquiry to receive beth his and Mrs.
Elliott's false charges. 1t was this
same DR.. Israel who signed the de-
fective presentment against me, and,
finally, when he had failed TO grind
out witnesses to sustain all of his
specifications in the ecclesiastical
court, transgressed all precedent by
going ION the witness stand to give
evidence against me, suppressing
even points in my favor, so anxious
did he seem to be that | might be
convicted.
James M. Lamberton served ON
the committee which, while not hav-
ing given me an opportunity to pre-
sent one particle or evidence, signed
a report declaring the sentence of
deposition delivered against me by
Bishop Talbot was just.
"All this being so, may not the
church world expect similar fiasco
to that of the one in Harrisburg
when the faithful friends Of Bishop
Talbot of like interesting history,
perpetuated the scandal by voting
against his being PRESENT.
Irvine further says:
81 have done everything an inno-
cent mortal soul could do to save
both Bishop Talbot, the diocese, and
the church at large from scandal,
but from first to last he has ignored
all entreatles and reason in order to
fulfill his promise to Mrs. Elliott to
unfrock me for her."

Expert Instector Taking a Look
Through.
Says the Electrical Wiring IN Padu-
cab II the Worst Wiring He
Ever Saw
WANTS A WIRE INSPECTOR

Mr.. G. c. Taylor, of Chicago, an
electrical expert and special agent
for the Hartford Fire Insurance Co.,
OF Connecticut, Is in the city looking
after the electric wiring, and says
he finds 1t nearly criminally defec-
tive.
81 have never been in a city
where the wiring is so bad as II is
here" he declared, "and when | APP
preached an electrician, who does
work here, he informed me that the
wiring | wanted done on my risks
was impossible in the time | gave
him. and | have had to cancel many
risks where the wiring is defective.
| made careful inspection of the
wiring in the buildings and on the
street and declare it is so bad that
unless repaired my company will
carry no risks here whatever"
Mr.. Taylor wanted all the wiring
done over where he considered it de-
fective, on the risks held by his COM
panies.
"The situation is really bad" he
continued. "On your streets / find
street light wires, telegraph and tel
ephone and sometimes city fire
alarm wires all on the same pole
which is about as dangerous as you
could wire a town. | have drawn up
an ordinance which | presented to
the mayor with the request that he
place it before the boards, with the
view of relieving the situation. The
ordinance provides for the office of
wire inspector, an officer employed
by the city with police powers. This
Is the only way that you will ever
get your wiring done right. / have
the assurance of the mayor that he
will do all he can to have the ordi-
nance passed. IL is not for the bene-
fit of the insurance companies alone,
but for the benefit of the public at
large, because IL the wiring is not
better, my company will not be
alone in cancelling, for other COM
panies will follow"
Mr.. Taylor is not the only insur-
ance special agent here today,
Messrs. T. II. Smith, of Chicago,
and j. p. Young. of Louisville, of
the New York Underwriters, being
here also to settle the Sowell mill
fire. They are connected with fire
insurance companies and are also
looking over the situation.
IL is a fact that the wiring in Pa
ducah is generally bad--this being
borne out by the reports of Inspec-
tor Gano of the Kentucky and Ten
nossee board of underwriters, who
found wiring very bad and issued
over a hundred notices for improve
ments in It.. Mr.. Gano's work was in
buildings principally, but Mr.. Tay-
Tor says that not only the buildings
but the streets as well are badly
wired.

strangIed Mrs. Martha Martin 10
Death and Threw Her BODY
Into Pond.
TWICE CONDEMNED To DIE,

Lexington. KY, Jan. 13.--James
w. Bess. was hanged In the Jail yard
here this morning for the murder
OF Mrs Martha Martin.
a large crowd witnessed the execu-
tion. Bess made a speech to bid all
goodbye and died gamely.
He confessed TO the death watch
last night that he had intended to
commit suicide with a knife blade
which he had in his mouth, but de-
cided not to do so.
Bess, who was once a prominent
and popular contractor. vas hanged
for the murder of Mrs Martha Mar
tin. March G, 1903. The crime was
one of the most desperate in the rec
objection of the Lexington police.
'Bess attempted to cover his tracks
by sinking the body of the woman in
pond. and making away with her
effects, so that should she be missed
persons acquainted with her would
think she had merely left the city.
Mrs. Martin had come into posses
sion OF about $1,000. Bess had neg
lected his business. and was In need
of money. lie had borrowed from
Mrs. Martin until she refused to adj
vance him more. On the night Of the
murder Bess hired buggy, and took
the woman out driving. making II a
point to go TO several places where
they would be seen and recognized.
He then took her TO his room, where
he strangled her TO death.
Bess had left the buggy hitched
to . post at the side entrance TO the
place. and after killing the woman
he wrapped the body in bedquilts,
carried II down the steps. through
an alley. and dumped the lifeless
form into the buggy. He then drove
to the pond. and threw the body in
the water. Bess busted himself
the next day in disposing of and hid
ing the effects of the woman. 1t was
three days later when the body was
discovered in the pond. and fished
out. The fact that one stocking was
pulled down, and that the throat
showed signs Of checking, led the po-
lice to believe that a murder had
been committed. and that robbery
had been the motive.
Bess told such a straight story and
building for himself such a complete
alibi that he was temporarily re-
leased. The grand jury returned an
indictment and he was given death
sentence on April |. His case was
appealed, and the court OF appeals
reversed. lie was again convicted,
and was TO have been hanged last
May. and again the case was appeal
ed. This time the sentence was af-
firmed, and Governor Beckham re-
fused to commute II.
Bess has always stoutly maintain
ed that he was innocent Of the crime,
lie was born in Mason county. was
~ years old, and the father of five
children His eldest daughter was
10 on the day OF his execution.

and died at 910 o'clock this morning
at his home. 500 Broadway from com

13-days illness. The news of his
death was shock to his many
friends. because he had been lmprov-
ing after severe siege, and was
much better up to last night.
After the turn for the worse, dis
solution was rapid, and Mr.. Allison
had breathed his last before many
friends knew that he was anything
except improving and soon to be out
again.
In the death of Mr. Allison popu-
lar man is lost. He was in his fifty

John w. Allison, in Graves county,
who is very feeble and not long ago
fell into the fire and was severely
burned on the head.

lison, postmaster at Pryorsburg.
Mr.. Allison was a man who stood
high among countless friends, both
in his business and social relations.
He was honest, honorable and friend
ly. and had friends all over this part
of Kentucky. Three years ago he
was the republican nominee for may
or of Paducah. and made a good
race. He has been prominent in all
movements to better the condition of
his home town, and his handsome
residence on Broadway fully carried
out his idea of beauty, comfort and
utility.
Mr.. Allison was once wealthy
man, but how large an estate he
leaves is not known at present.
His brother arrived on the noon
train from Pryorsbprg to attend the
funeral.

been made, but 1t is thought the
funeral will take place Sunday in
the city, with burial at Oak GroveJ
