MIR. Simpson before leaving Philadel

communication with President Roose

the testimony recently brought out Is
not all the prosecution will have to de-
pend on. Since the hearings have
closed lie has got a large amount of
valuable information from private

1t is said on the authority of one who
has been closely connected with the
Investigation of the coal-carrying
roads by the Interstate Commerce
Commission that the commission in it's
report will advocate government own
ership of the anthracite fields This,
1t is declared, will be urged as the only
means Of protecting the public from

The report will directly charge FIVE

advocate further legislation which will
| completely divorce railroads from any
connection with the bituminous coal
industry or any other industry along

The fire was confined to the eleva-

one corner of the building, but a
dense smoke pervaded everywhere
and the wild excitement which fol
lowed the first alarm hurried people
into halls and out on window lodges
in frantic attempt to save them
selves.
There was so much choking smoke
that guests, the moment door was
opened, were compelled to crawl out
the windows to avoid suffocation.
Many were hurt by breaking windows
with hands or feet.

ladder company, having broken open
q window on the seventh floor, which
he had reached by means Of sealing
a ladder, stumbled on to the body of

form TO his back and started down the
ladder.
When midway between the seventh
and sixth floors the strap broke.
Bending over 10 balance the body for
moment, he then leaned, at the
risk of his life. and threw the woman
toward projecting ledge on the
floor below. Apparently being reviv-
ed by the fresh air or by the shock.
the aged woman grasped the projection
and held on. Capt Berwin lost his
balance and fell to the pavement. He
was instantly killed.
The excitement was SO intense that

II came out that the Bank Note
company itself disclosed the fact that
the certificates had been autographed
by it after a conference of its Off

Graves & Miles, counsel for the com
pany, Mr.. Graves telephoned TO the
Office of the Norfolk & Western

once, saying that his presence was
wanted at an important conference.

Office he found President Tonyes of
the Bank Note Company and Mr.
Hemphill, Vice President OF the
Guaranty Trust Company, and one of
the transfer officials of the railway
company. Mr.. Graves informed the
railway officials that he had discov-
cred that the counterfeit stock certifi-
Gates had been made by the Bank Note
Company for Seton on what appeared
to be a legitimate order.
When Mr.. Hemphill demanded to
know the nature of the order Mr.
Graves said it was in the form of Il
letter directed to Seton and signed
&c. b. Franklin" This letter was
typewriter on sheet of Waldorf
Astoria letter paper and is said to
have been dictated by Seton himself
to one of the stenographers at the
hotel.
No such man as c. b. Franklin has
ever been President of the Norfolk

convinced that it was Seton himself
who wrote the letter on which the
Bank Note Company executed his
order.
