About $4,000 worth of rock is in
sight already and excitement runs
high over the discovery.

Boston, Mass. June 26.-About
eight O'Clock this morning an ell
Ierly colored woman appeared at
the gate of the Lawrence residence
in Cambrige and asked to see the
President. 'Why do you want to
see him?" asked one of the secret
men. "Oh, l used to do his wash
ing when he was in college," re-
Piled replied she, simply. The
officers were in doubt as to the ad-
visibility of granting her request,
but the woman insisted, and add
ed: He will be glad enough to
see me-" So the woman who is
Mrs. Mary A. Taylor of 2 Flag
street, Cambridge, was permitted
to go upon the Lawrence piazza
whs..o her request was conveyed to
the President. "Of course I'll
see her," said President Roosevelt,
and he straightway came. down
stairs and shook hands with his
former washwoman. Il think it
is very kind of you to come over
here for old times sake" Mrs.
Taylor, who is sixty years old, ex-
pressed her gratitude in few
words and went her way rejoicing.
Dressed in the black suit of
cloths which was made to bury
him in after his expiration for the
murder of John Edwards at
Stouchsburg, Berks county, Penn,
Samuel Greason, after having
heard ten death warrants read to
him, was recently acquitted, the
wife of his supposed victim hav-
ing confessed that she killed her
husband, and that the Negro had
nothing to do with the murder.
The acquittal of Greason conclud-
es perhaps the most remarkable
murder case in the history of
Pennsylvania. Thrice he has
heard the carpenters at work near
his sell window ON the gallows
which was to send him to eternity
He had been within twenty three
hours of death, with the Governor,
the Supreme Court, and the Board
of Pardons all against him, and to
say that he was happy is putting
it mildly For three years his at
torney had fought the case and in
his numerous efforts to free the
Negro he has caused a change to
be made in the State laws relative
to the admission of after-discover-
ed evidence. When court conven-
ed at Reading for the trial of the
case, the confession of Mrs. Ed
wards exonerating Greason was
acquitted a most remarkable de-
monstration was witnessed. The
court room and corridors were
packed with persons, and when
the verdict of not guilty was pro-
nounced by the jury without leav-
ing the room the crowd broke forth
in cheers.

Butte. Mont, July S.-Miss
Mamie Brown, an eighteen-year-
old Negro domestic, while search

stumbled into gopher hole out of

small particles RI quartz in which
the gold fairly glistened. The
girl carried the sparkling rock

number of reputable assayers
show that the rock carries more
than $1,000 in gold to the

Chicago. FEB. 2.-Following the fall
ure by traffic men of Western and Gulf
roads to reach an agreement Tuesday
on grain rates. the Missouri Pacific to-
day announced the most radical reduc-
ton in tariffs to Gulf ports that has
been made during the present struggle
for export business
It will reduce the rates on corn for
export to the following basis per leo
pounds:
Omaha to New Orleans, II cents
Kansas City to New Orleans, 10 cents.
Omaha to Memphis 10 cents.
Omaha to Little Rock, 10 cents.
Omaha to St. Louis. cents
The normal rate from Omaha to New
Orleans is Is cents per 100 pounds on
grain for export, and this reduction in
dicates that the lines to the Gulf are
determined to maintain rates at least
Az cents lower than the rates to the
lower Atlantic ports.

BIDDLE WOULD NOT LIE.
Another Version OF BiddIc's Connec-
ton in the SANTA Fe Rebate Case.

ton in the Santa Fe Rebate Case.
This is the version of the Biddle
incident as published in the Chicago
Inter Ocean;
When MIR. BfddIe returned to Chi
cago last week from a business trip
to the Pacific coast he was summoned
before President Ripley of the santa
Fe and severely criticised it is said, for
merce commission that secret rebates
on coal shipments We're paid by the
Santa Fe to the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company.
Ripley, Mr.. Biddle is said to have
stated in substance that he would not
lie for the sake of any railroad
The result of the conversation he
tween President Ripley and Mr.. Bid
die was the latter's resigna ton OF the
position of freight traffic manager OF
the Santa Fe. His action became
known to the management of the
Rock Island system, which imme-
/ diately rendered him the position of
third vice president of that system, in
charge OF both freight and passenger
/ traffic at a salary of $4,000 per an
mum. or $4,000 more a year than ne
1 received as freight traffic manager of
/ the Santa Fe.
! Several years ago, when c. H. War
rem was pra ctically q dictator on the
Rock Island system, he offered Mr..
/ Biddle the position of third vice presi-
dent. in charge of freight traffic only
! Mr.. Biddle declined the otter because
/ it did not give him jurisdiction over
/ all traffic.
! 1t has been an open secret in rail-
road circles that President Ripley was
( greatly incensed at the revelation be-
! fore the interstate commerce COM
mission of the relations which had ex-
listed for years between the railroad
company and the Colorado Fuel and
/ Iron company, particularly as TO the
/ payment of secret rebates on coal
shipments That the Santa F'e com
pany would try to make scapegoat
/ of Mr.. Hiddle was generally expected.
While he assumed before the inter
state commerce commission legal re-
/ sponsibiity for the payment of the
/ coal rebates, all railway men knew
/ that at the time the contra ct for the
rebates was made, Paul Morton was
second vice president of the Santa F'e,
in charge of all traffic, and that Mr..
Biddle carried out orders issued by
Mr. Morton on the most important

WILL OBEY THE COMMISSION
Wichita Lines Accept Eisht-Cent Ar
bitraPy on Sugar.

It was given out yesterday in Chi
cago that the Wichita, Kan. lines
have announced their intention of
obeying the recent order of the inter
state commerce commission in making
an arbitrary of cents on sugar to
Wichita over Kansas City and other
Missouri river points. Under the
ruling of the commission the arbitrary
of s cents over Kansas City will apply
to all shipments of sugar from New
Orleans, the Atlantic seaboard and
probably from the Pacific coast. The
lines from the coast have not as yet
made an announcement of cir inten-
ton to obey the ruling. but it is
thought all will be willing to make the
cut from 1 ; cents to cents, since the
Wichita lines from the east and south
have agreed The rate will apply also
to Mcpherson, Hutchinson and Salina.
The commerce commissions ruling in
the Wichita matter was discussed yes
terday at the monthly meeting of the
Transmissouri Freight association, but
no statement was given out as to the
result of the conference.

USED FOR INSPECTION,

The Santa Fe railroad will shortly pc
gin experimenting with automobile cars
built to run on the railway tracks Tor
inspection purposes
Many advantages are claimed for the
automobile inspection cars. and several
large railways have begun experiments
with them or have already adopted
them for general use
The cars are light and are fitted with
handles on the front and back by
which they may be quickly lifted from
the track to prevent accidents by col
Hiding with moving trains.
The mechanism is specially adjusted
on these cars to enable the person OPP
Grating them to safely control them al
all times. Almost any speed may be
they may be stopped very quickly 10
avert disaster.
Most of the inspection cars are pro-
vided with two seats. Officials may
thus obtain an opportunity for closer
observation on inspection tours than is
possible from the windows of their
private cars.
The disadvantage of a special train
for close inspection is obvious. A spe-
cial train has to maintain a regular
schedule in order that it may reach the
meeting point arranged with other
trains. For this reason it is impossible
for the officials to run slower if they
so desire and they may not stop at out
of-the-Way places. even if they want to.
With the gasoline motor car, the trip
may be made as quickly or as slowly
as the officials desire. If they desire
TO stop and examine any particular
stretch of track or property, all they
have to do is to lift the automobile off
the track when passing trains approach.
The Burlington and the Union Pacific
railroads are using the automobile cars
and it is said those roads have found
the cars very satisfactory.
The Santa Fe will put one or two
cars into service soon, it is understood
and they will be used for a. time as an
experiment or a test as to the advan-
tages which might ensue if their use
was made general over the road.
