GIRL DIES FOR FRIEND.
Drags Her Companion From in Front
Of Train.


Creston, O., Dec. In saving her
girl friend from death In front of a
fast Erie passenger train here Nellie
Carter, the beautiful nineteen-year ar-old
daughter of Judge Carter, was struck
by the flyer and killed. Miss Nettie
Mcintyre, whom she dragged from the
track at the cost of her own life, was
uninjured.
Miss Carter and Miss Mcintyre were
out for a walk and on their return
started to take a short cut along the
railroad track to the Carter residence.
They were so engrossed In their con-
versation that they did not notice the
approach of a fast train behind them.
The engineer blew the whistle and the
girls, turning, saw the flyer rushing
toward them.
Miss Carter jumped from the track,
but her companion seemed paralyzed
with fear. She stood screaming, un-
able to move. Miss Carter dragged
her out of harms way, but in so doing
was struck by the sidebeam Of the
engine and thrown across two side
tracks into small gully She was
terribly crushed and died two minutes
later.

RUSSIAN FAMINE SCANDAL
ASSISTANT MINISTER OF THE IN.
TERROR ALLEGED TO BE IN.
vOLVED IN STEAL.

st. Petersburg, Dec. las re-
suit of the investigation which the
press campaign and public indigna-
tion have compelled the ministry to
make into the Lidval contract for the
purchase of grain intended for famine
relief, in which Assistant Minister Of
the Interior Gurko is alleged to be
involved, the sufferings Of the stricken
population Of the Volga provinces
have been greatly augmented. On ac-
count of the disappearance of Lidval,
the chief grain buyer, in the face Of
threatened proceedings, the purchase
and shipment Of the sorely needed
grain have been suspended and con-
contracts can be drawn up.
Further disclosures increase the
gravity of NJ Gurko's action in award
ing the contract to Lidval. Governor
Alexandrovski of Penza province, who
has been mentioned as one of Lidval's
sponsors, says he never heard of the
man until he received orders through
NJ Gurko's department to purchase
grain only through Lidval. 1t also de-
velops that the profits Of the deal were
even greater than at first supposed.
The zemstvo committee of the neigh
boring province of Tula was able to
purchase grain for 6h cents per
bushel below Lidval's contract price,
equivalent to over 100000 on the
whole contract.
Princes Lvoff and Orbeliani, repre-
senting the zemstvo bureau for famine
relief, who have just returned to Mos
COW from trip through the famine
stricken provinces, report that the
situation Is even worse than described
in the early accounts. Sickness fol-
lows In the track Of famine. An cpl
demic Of scurvy has broken out in the
Kholfsk district Of Saratov province
and in the absence of the needed food
and medicine Is spreading widely.

EXCUSES BREACH OF PROMISE.
Girl Suffering From Tuberculosis Can

not Recover Damages.
Spokane, Wash, Dec. 1.-Declaring
that the interests of the state and
community demand that no human
compact be upheld that has for its
principal objects the bringing into the
world of helpless, plague cursed inno-
cent babies, the supreme court of
Washington, In an opinion written by
Judge Root and concurred in by the
entire bench, decides that an engage
ment may be broken by either party
to the contract and no damages for
breach of promise will lie against a
man who withdraws from an engage
ment for such a reason.
The decision was in the suit of
Rosena E. Grover against James L.
Zook, formerly mayor of Ballard,
Wash, west Of Spokane. Miss Grover
was awarded $4,000 by jury in the
lower court, but the trial Judge re.
quired the woman to reduce the
amount to $4,000 or stand new trial.
She complied with the request and
Zook appealed.
The sole question at issue was
whether Zook had right to break the
engagement because Miss Grover suf-
fered from tuberculosis. It was main
tanned by her attorneys that Zook
knew Of the malady when he made the
contract. or at least that he ratified
the contract after he learned that she
had tuberculosis and was therefore
bound in law to carry 1t out. The
court held otherwise, declaring that
its decision was based on public pol

CHARGED THAT DISSOLUTION or
HILLS MERGER is WHOLLY
WITHOUT EFFECT.
COMMUNITY OF INTEREST CONTINUES
COMPLAINTS TO COMMERCE COM.
/ MISSION LIKELY TO LEAD
TO INVESTIGATION.


Chicago, Dec. IA dispatch te
the Tribune from Washington says:
Once again the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific Railroad companies
are under suspicion by the govern
ment of violating the antitrust law.
Complaints have been received by
the interstate commerce commission
that. In spite Of the decree of the SUI
preme court dissolving the Northern
Securities company formed to destroy
competition between the railroad
properties named. they have renewed
their combination under a different
form and as result constitute q
monopoly In restraint Of trade and
commerce. There Is reason to be
lieve these complaints will be made
the subject Of exhaustive investiga
ton.
When the investigation will be In
ausurated will depend upon the de,
cision reached by the commission at
meeting which will be held next week
There Is no question that the same
parties who formed the Northern Sc
curities company. J. Hill, president
of the Great Northern; J. Pierpont
Morgan of New York and others-still
retain control Of the Great Northern,
Northern Pacific and Burlington
though In way which they believed
relieved them Of the charge Of viola
ton of the antitrust law.
Courts Decision Violated.
But 1t appears. according to com
plants filed with the commission
that they pursue harmonious policy
with respect to rates, etc., and thus
violate the decision of the courts that
they are parallel and competing
lines"
In other words, the community OF
interest" which was the motive OF the
Northern Securities company. has
continued In spite Of the government
prosecution and the success which at.
tended 1t. Through the Northern Sc,
curities merger the same set of men
obtained a common interest In the
earnings Of both roads, while formerly
their interests were divergent and
competitive.
/ A large shipper, who Is thoroughly
cognizant with the shipping condt
tions on both the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific. said that there was
no doubt whatever that the two rail.
roads act in thorough accord in fixing
rates upon freight. He stated that
farmers In the region traversed by
the roads time and time again had
experienced delay and even damage
through the absence OF competition.
What was true of the farmers was
true also Of other producers and manu-.
facturers.
In consequence Of the lack OF com.
petition II has not been necessary fol
the two lines to build as many spurs
as might otherwise have been con
structed, with the result that the de
velopment Of the territory has been

sence of the men and the saving of
the bars of the doors and windows
were unnoticed when the keepers
opened the cell doors and allowed the
other prisoners In the corridor at G
o'clock In the morning. Six other
prisoners Immediately crawled through
the hole in the window.
The delivery was not discovered un.
til O'Clock, when an alarm was

OF CHICAGO TRANSFERS ON
TRIAL FOR CONSPIRACY.
THREE PLEAD GUILTY TO CHARGE
COUNSEL FOR PRESIDENT SHEA
AND OTHER DEFENDANTS
TAKEN BY SURPRISE.

Chicago, Dec 1.-The dissensions
which have for the last year prevailed
In the ranks of the local Transfers
unions have been carried into the trial
of Cornelius P. Shea, who, In company
with sixteen other men, Is on trial for
alleged conspiracy In connection with
the great teamsters' strike Of June
1905.
Albert Young. former president OF
the Teamsters' union; William Kelly,
business agent of the Coal Teamsters'
union, and William Murphy, said to
have been a member of the "wrecking
crew" during the strike, withdrew
their pleas of not guilty and entered
pleas of guilty. All of the men de-
clared their intention of turning states
evidence.
The incident caused intense excite
ment in the courtroom and took the
other defendants completely by sur
prise. Shea and Young had for years
been close friends and had worked
through a number of strikes side by
side. Since the last convention Of the
Teamsters' union, however, they have
been opposed to each other and have
led factions which have fought each
other bitterly both in the meetings of
the unions and in the city streets.
AS soon as court opened Attorney
Leroy Brown, who has not previously
appeared in the case, addressed Judge
Ball, saying:
Attorney Springs a Surprise.
"Your honor, desire to give notice
that | herewith enter my appearance
as counsel for the following named
defendants In this case, Albert Young,
William Kelly and Michael Murphy"
The attorneys for the defense
showed their surprise at this an.
nouncement and moment later, when
it was announced that all three men
desired to enter pleas Of guilty, they
were for a time taken completely
aback President Shea turned In his
chair and stared fiercely at Young
who returned his look with an indtf
ferent stare. The statement was then
made by Attorney Brown that his eli
ents desired to turn states evidence.
The attorneys for the defense then
informed the court that they demand
ed the right of reopening the exam
ination of the jurors in order to ques
tion the jurors regarding their &C.
quaintance with Attorney Brown. The
court overruled them and an exception
was taken by the defense.
The trouble between Albert Young
and Cornelius p Shea resulted from
the effort made by the former to Sc
cure the presidency of the Interna
tional Teamsters' union. He repre-
sented an element in the union that
was opposed to Shea and dissatisfied
with his method of conducting the
Chicago strike. Shea was reelected
and Young then organized a rival or.
ganization, which Is known as the
United Teamsters of America. Since
the creation Of the latter body there
has been bitter strife among the team
sters and assaults and fights on the
streets have occurred frequently.
