Roads to be Investigated.

Chicago, Nov. 22.-James B. Hill and
the three great railways he dominates
are to be investigated by the Interstate
commerce commission. What are the
relations between the Great Northern.
the Northern Pacific and the Burlington
systems? An effort is being made to
find out
The commission will seek to ascertain
what effect the control of all these lines
BY one man has had and is having upon
rates in the northwest, and consequent
~ upon the agriculture and Industrial
development of that section.
The result will be to bring out the
facts regarding what has taken place
in the northwestern railroads world
since the decision Of the United States
supreme court in the Northern Securf-
ties case in 1904 and to show what ef-
fects the decision has produced and to
what extent its intent has been nulli-
fed.
The announcement of the commits
sion's intention to investigate the Hill
lines, coming so closely upon the heels
of its plans for an inquiry into the Har-
riman lines, seems to indicate a purpose
on the part of President Roosevelt and
the administration to expose and attack
the various combinations of parallel
railway lines which have been effected
within the last several years.

Observant and far sighted persons
distinguish at great distances a man
from a woman, not by dress, face or
figure, but by movements. The mo-
tions of the most graceful Of men are
ungain1y when compared with the sinu-
Gus lines that most women instinctiveiy
assume. It often happens that single
motion of a distant figure, and especial
" motion of the arms above the head,
will instantly determine for a trained
observer the sex OF the person. If any
one doubts this let him note the awk-
ward, windmill-like performance of a
man arranging his hair and the grace
full curves and deft touches with which
q woman accomplishes the same thing.

MISSING ON THE LAKE
Heavy Storm Blowing. and Has Twen-
ty-Seven Souls on Board-Great
Anxiety.

st. Joseph, Mich, Nov. 80. = Grave
fears are felt here for the safety Of
the steamer Frontenac, which was
due here from Chicago at p. m, but
which had not been sighted at 7:30
p. m. Mountain waves have been roll
ing over the harbor and piers, and the
storm is said to be the worst seen here
in years. The Frontenac, which is be-
ing operated for the Graham & Morton
line, left Chicago at II a. m.
The Frontenac had probably reached
mid-lake when the big gale sprang up.
Messages have been sent to ports along
the shore asking that a watch be kept
for the missing vessel. j. L. Morton,
OF the Graham & Morton line, gave
the opinion that the Frontenac would
not try to reach any harbor on the
Michigan side, but would seek shelter
in some port on the west shore. The
Frontenac is in command of Captain
John Stewart with a crew of twelve
men and is carrying probably about
fifteen passengers.

At 1870 a. m. the party left Ponce

over the famous military road. Stops
of three minutes each were made at

each place the president was welcomed
by the mayor, and spoke briefly from
his automobile. At Cayey luncheon
was served, the officers of the Porto
Rico regiment being the hosts. At
Caguas the president was given a re
markable reception. Here he spoke at
length, reiterating his views on Porto

was showered with flowers and given
many presents.
Between towns along the military
road scattering crowds eagerly await
ed the chance Of a feeting glimpse of
the president. People from the outly-
ing plantations, some on foot from the
mountain districts miles away; poems,
women, children, beggars and cripples
all came to pay tribute. Many of
the occupants of shacks, who were too
poor to own even a flag, showed their
patriotism by loudly cheering the
president, whom they seemed to recog-
nize quickly.

That Is Why George semans, and Old
soldier, Is Not Dead
Oue
HAD HIS NERVE ALONG

Noblesville, Ind, Nov % - Pres
ence of mind on the part of George
Semans, an old soldier, is the only
thing that prevented a fatal accident
on the Lake Erie and Western rail
way bridge over White river, near this
city. Semans was crossing the bridge
when a passenger train whirled around
the curve close at hand.
Throwing his hat into the air to at
tract the attention of the engineer, he
hastily threw off his overcoat, dropping
It between the rails and extending
himself full length on It. The train
passed over him, and Semans was
none the worse for his experience. The
train stopped a short distance away.
Meanwhile Semans arose and donned
his overcoat and walked away as If
nothing had happened.

After That They Were Thrown Into

Daughters Disown and
Condemn Her.

New York. Nov. 22.-The spectacle
of two women denouncing as MUIR
deress the woman who brought them
into the world, but whom they refused
to call mother" was witnessed in the
office of the district attorney. The
women are Mrs. Marie Schoch, re-
Gently a resident of Massachusetts,
and Mrs. Wilhelmina Ihrig, of this
city. The mother whom they accused
is Mrs. Wilhelmina Eckhardt, who was
arrested by representatives Of the
County Medical society on charge of
having performed a criminal operation.
The arrest was made upon information
furnished the society by the daughters,
and the two younger women appeared
voluntarily at the district attorneys
office TO amplify the testimony they
already had given against their mother.
Terrible Testimony Is Given.
Both Mrs. Schoch and Mrs. Ihrig as
serted that they did not wish to be
known as the daughters of Mrs. Eek
hardt, who, they said, is not worthy
to bear the name mother Both de-
clared that they had seen Mrs. Eek
hardt kill hour-old infants and dispose
Of the bodies by burning them i'll her
kitchen stove. They said also that
they had seen Mrs. Eckhardt perform
criminal operations. Mrs. Schoch told
the district attorney that when she
was days old her mother wrapped
her in a bundle of rags and cast her
into the street She was rescued by
her grandmother, who reared her.
Woman Is Totally Depraved.
When she came to this country she
found her mother conducting a house
of prostitution, and she declared that
her mother sought to have her become
an inmate of the place. She refused.
The first she knew of her mothers
present occupation, she said, was when
Mrs. Eckhardt's little adopted son
made q discovery in the house which
led to the exposure and Mrs. Eek
hardt's arrest. When she learned of
the discovery made by the little boy
Mrs. Schoch said she went to her
Eckhardt proposed that they go into
partnership.
Daaugher Acts dhe Detective.
This she did, after consulting with
representatives of the County Medical
society, and with a view of causing
Mrs. Eckhardt's arrest. 1t was while
occupying this position in her mothers
house, she says, that she procured the
evidence which resulted in her arrest.
She declared that she saw her mothe"
perform an operation on Anna Jack
son, otherwise Sally Brown, a colored
woman to whom a child was born in
the house, and that her mother told
her how easy it was to kill a child
and to dispose of it by burning the
body in the stove. She declared that
her mother actually did kill a baby by
twisting its neck, and that afterward
she burned it. Mrs. Ihrig corroborated
her sisters testimony.
