WHO OWNS THE RAILROADS?

H. T. Newcomb Of the District of
Columbia Bar, has compiled statistics
showing that 5,174,71S depositors in
savings banks of six eastern states
are directly interested in the joint
ownership of $442,354,OS6 of steam
railroad securities, that insurance
companies doing business in Massa-
chusetts hold $S45, ,O3S of steam
railroad stocks and bonds and IA edu-
cational institutions depend on s47,-
46S,327 invested in similar securities
for a portion of their income. Other
fiduciary institutions own enough
railroad securities to bring such hold
ing up to more than billion and
half dollars, about one-sixth of the
entire capital invested in railroad
property. These investments repre-
sent the savings of the masses, there
being twenty million holders of life in
surance policies in the country. as
many more of fire insurance policies,
and an even greater number Of de-
positors in banking and trust institu-
tfons, where investments are largely
in railroad securities.

Russian Delegates Dispersed.

St. Petersburg, April 1.-THE first
Pan-Russian congress of attorneys
took place yesterday in the hall of the
Imperial Economic Society. There
were $50 delegates present. The po'
lice, however, entered the hall and dis.
persed the delegates, as the meeting
had not been authorized to assemble.
Before the police actually interfered
the congress adopted resolutions pro
viding for the formation of an associa'
tion to foster social and professional
intercourse and to strive for the po-
litical freedom of Russia on basis OF
a democratic constitution and also to
combine with other associations hav-
ing the same aims.

COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS

Warden Cleghorn of the State Peni-
tentiary has announced the reappoint-
ment of A. r. Frisbie as chief clerk
Edmund Johnston of Denver was APP
pointed yard master, vice Thomas
Clark of Denver whose term has ex-
pired. There are now in the peniten-
tiary 743 convicts, the largest number
in the history of the institution. There
has Deen a net gain of 102 convicts
during the last two years.
At meeting of the State Land Board
April 9th a right of way was granted
over certain state lands for a reser-
voir and canals that are being con-
structed near Julesburg. The system
is being constructed under the irri-
cation district law OF 1901, with which
ex-senator McCreery of Greeley is
prominently connected. The right of
way occupies about thirty acres of the
state land and was sold at $3.50 an
acre.
State Auditor Bent is sending out
a new set of blanks to the county
treasurerS for the collection of the
Inheritance tax. The Supreme Court
has upheld the tax and the law re-
quiries the county treasurers to collect
it. The law also requires that they
report to the auditor every six months
and Mr.. Bent proposes that they shall
report whether they collected any tax
during the time or not. Treasurer
Holmberg is to have his license collec-
tors check up the probate courts as
they travel about and in this way it
will be possible to check the treasurers
and find if they are doing their duty
in watching the estates. 1t is a tax
that the heirs often attempt to evade
and if the state is to realize anything
from it a continuous fight will have
to be made. 1t is believed that the
law is so framed tnat the state can
not be beaten by deciding away an
estate just before death.

STRATT0N SUIT ENDS
FULL VICTORY FOR THE ESTATE

United States Supreme Court Denies
writ OF Certiorari-Lawyers for
Estate Expect to Win Another Suit
Nov Pending.
Colorado Springs, Colo. April IL
The United States Supreme Court at
washington yesterday denied the ap-
plicatlon of the Stratton's Independ-
ence Company, Limited, for a writ of
certiorari in its suit against the execu-
tors OF the Stratton estate for S6,000,-
600. This means that the estate has
won a victory in the Supreme Court
and practically all litigation is now at
an end. Both in the United States
Circus Court and the Circuit Court of
Appeals decisions were rendered in
favor OF the estate. In the latter court
the decision was handed down in st.
Louis only few weeks ago, and the
London company Immediately applied
to the United States Supreme Court
for writ of certiorari.
There is still pending in the United
States Circuit Court in Denver a suit
brought by the Venture company
against the estate for 100000, but
the leading points involved in both
tors are confident of winning in the
suit now pending.
The ground for the suits was the al
legged sailing of the Stratton's Inde-
pendence mine by the late w. S. STRAIT
ton. The mine was sold to the Ven
ture people and the Stratton's Inde-
pendence, Limited, Company organ
lied. The price was $11 100000. The
sale was negotiated by Werner u. Reed
of this city, and he is popularly sup
posed to have received a commission
of S1,0OO,OOO.
When the charge of sailing the mine
was first made it created a profound
Mr.. Stratton never for moment cred
tied the charge, and all along the ex
ecutors Of the estate have expressed
themselves as confident of victory.
The news of yesterdays decision
came in telegram to the firm of Meal
lister Candy, the attorneys for the
Stratton estate in this city. Associated
with them in the defense were Justice
Luther NJ. Goddard of the State Su-
preme Court and e. E. Whitted of the
firm of Dimes & Whitted of Denver.
The London company was represented
by Thomas, Bryant & Lee and Charles
j. Hughes, Jr., of Denver, and Samuel
Untermeyer and Marshall of New York
City.
The final settlement of this suit
brings the Myron Stratton Home one
step nearer of realization. With this
suit out of the way a long stride in the
direction of beginning work on the
home has been accomplished.
The suit of Leslie w. Popejoy for SS,-
100000 as an alleged partner of STRAIT
ton, is not taken seriously.

OPERATION AVOIDED
EXPERIENCE OF MISS MERKLEY
She Was Told That an Operation Was
Inevitable. How She Escaped It

When a physician tells woman suf-
fering with ovarian or womb trouble
that an operation is necessary, the very
thought of the knife and the operating
table strikes terror to her heart, and
our hospitals are full of women coming
for ovarian or womb operations.

Richard Croker, when he appeared
on the Campania's deck to sail for Ire
land, on February 25, looked stronger
than he did on the day of his arrival,
and greeted his friends in a hearty
manner. He set at rest the rumor that
he never intended to again visit this
country. On the contrary, he declared
that it was pleasant to look forward
to again visiting New York. When he
would return, he said, he did not know.
Mr.. and Mrs. Croker have given
$1,000 to various charities in New York
city as memorial Of their son Frank.
The night before Mr.. Croker sailed
from New York a list Of charities was
submitted to him, and he gave his
check for these amounts: st. Joseph's
hospital for consumptives, $500; Little
Sisters of the Poor $500; Sisters Of the
