Special to Tho Journal.

Special to The Journal
Denver, Col, Feb. .24.-Fate has come
to the rescue Of Wilson Miner, the
California soldier of fortune, who mar
ried Mrs. Charles T.. Yerkes a month
after her husband IS death.
Miner may breathe easy 30 far as
Edith Crater Samm Of Denver is con-
cerned. The suit which Mrs Samm Cor
Miss Crater) had threatened against
Miner will not get outside the office
Of former Judge Amos Stack, her at
torney.
A dowry of $4,000 which Miner
was said to have promised her to forget
that she ever bore his name, need not
be paid; in fact, Miner may come to
Denver at any moment he chooses,
stay as long as he pleases and fear
nothing IL.
The end of the threatened litigation
came late last evening when Judge
Charles W. Mccall in secret chambers
granted a decree of divorce to Edith
Crater-Samm from her husband, Harry
A. Samm. At the same time Judge Nc
Call advised Mrs. Samm and her law
yer, Amos Stack, that she had no
grounds for action against another

st. Louis, Feb. 24.-William H. Taft,
secretary of war, who was the guest
of honor tonight at the annual ban
quet of the Western Federation Of Yale
clubs, declared in an interview before
the banquet that he is not now and
will not be q candidate for president.
When reference was made to the fire.
quent mention Of his name as Presi-
dent Roosevelt's IS successor, the secre-
tary smiled and said: III. .-..
"I am not responsible for the foolish
notions Of my friends. The idea is
preposterous. I am only considering
the matter jocularly-in no sense seri-
ously.' "
Secretary Taft does not agree with
the expressed view Of military authori-
ties that the United States is apt to
have war with China. a. ,~#
"The Boxer movement may be re-
peated,' said he, "but the government
of China has much better control over
the masses now than a few years ago.
I do not look for serious uprising in
China.'

Laurens, Iowa, Feb. 24.-Frank
Kemp and John Ackland were arrested
here on the charge of leading a mob
which last night beat and tortured G..
o. Brown so badly that he is believed
to have died from his wounds or was
frozen to death. Brown, they claimed,
had attacked two young daughters of
the men now accused After beating
him severely and burning his photo
graph gallery, the mob is charged with
having driven Brown to the suburbs,
whipping him with buggy whips and
blacksnakes at each step.
Near the edge of the town, the mob,
it is reported, administered final
chastisement and ordered Brown to
leave the vicinity and to never return
under threats of greater punishment.
Brown was half-naked and disappeared
into the darkness. No trace Of him has
since been found. It is feared that he
was either frozen to death during the
night or bled to death from his wounds.
t.. Search for Missing Man.
Today the better class of citizens
had mass meeting and organized sew
eral posses to search for the missing
man. All efforts have thus far been
futile. Feeling runs high, especially
since it has been discovered that there
was no proof Of crime against Brown
but that. the charges were simply the
result Of suspicious. Brown protested
his innocence and the little girls have
not said that he was guilty Of any
criminal act, the fathers ire being
aroused by suspicious. The mob VIC

Of its occurrence today. Brown is {

AND RATS
STRING PHONE WIRES
Animals Are Used Instead of
Men by Terre Haute
.. .. Company.

Special to The Journal.
Terre Haute, Ind, Feb. 24.-Ferrets
are being used to string wires thru con-
duits in the reconstruction of the tel
ephone plant in this city. One ferret
does the work of three men and does it
much better and quicker. A light har.
ness is placed upon the ferret, a fish
line attached, and a live rat dangled
at the other end of the. conduit, or
turned lose in the pipe with a start of
a few feet. Both come thru very live
ly, and the rat is caught in a bag and
delivered to the ferret.
Previously the company used jointed
rods, which required the attention of
three men. These were hooked to-
gether and pushed thru the ducts, a
distance Of block, to the next man
hole, the process being very slow, ex-
pensive and not always successful. The
ferret and rat proposition saves thou
sands Of dollars in the work of con-
struction. y

Plans Are on Foot to Reconcile
the President and the
Senator.
BY Publishers Press.

By Publishers Press.
Washington, Feb. 24.-Plans for q
reconciliation between President
Roosevelt and Senator Tillman are on
foot.
The president has declared he re-
spected the South Carolinian because
che was an honest American and a
good fighter as he had cause, to
know.
Senator Tillman, who. recently deliv-
cred the most abusive personal speech
ever heard in the senate and directed
against the president, has ungrudging-
ly announced that he did not hate the
president, but that he despised his
negro policy.
Friends of the administration are
arranging to bring the two men to-
gether, believing that if existing per-
sonal differences can be adjusted the
power and personality of the two men
will rout the conservatives in the SEN
ate and bring about rate legislation
with a hurrah.

TRAFFIC MEN HEAR
IMPORT RATE PLANT
Shippers All Over the Country
Call for Readjustment of
Tariffs.

Chicago, Feb. 24.-An insistent de-
mand is being made by the big ship
pers and manufacturers of the entire
country for readjustment Of the inn
port rates.. In response to this demand
an important conference was held here
today. which was attended by all the
traffic executive heads Of the Chicago
roads.
The complaint of the shippers is to
the effect that the inland proportions
Of the import rates are so much lower
than the domestic rates for the same
distance that the effect Of the protect
i've tariff is, III most cases, nullifed.
The position of the shippers has been
emphasized by an appeal made by the
Pittsburg Plate Glass company to the
interstate commerce commission. The
petition states that thru. rates on glass
from Hamburg, Germany, to Omaha is
less than the domestic rate on plate
glass from any port Of entry to the
city of Omaha. Thus, it is stated, the
effect Of the protective tariff which
plate glass manufacturers are supposed
to enjoy is entirely wiped out.
Others in Like Trouble.
The plate glass manufacturers are in
no better position than the producers
of salt, soda ash, tin plate, earthenware,
structural iron, cement, steel rails and
| many other articles manufactured In
| this and in European countries.
1t was stated at the conference that
the difficulty was always met in try
| ing to rectify this condition on ac-
count of the attitude of some of the
| trunk lines which have seaboard ter
minals in the east. Such lines, it is
stated, depend largely upon their import
traffic and their domestic traffic does
not cut much figure. They are, there
fore, in favor Of anything which pro-
notes imports.
Position Of Roads.
The western roads, however, are a
unit in the. position that no greater
rates should be charged for, domestic
goods than the inland proportion Of the
thru rate on the same goods manu-
factured abroad, one road, with termi-
nails on the gulf, believing that when
the commission settles the Pittsburg
plate glass case the rest will not have
a leg to stand upon. -...
The present adjustment Of the i'm
port and domestic tariffs works great
injustice upon domestic manufactures,
there is no doubt, according to the
western officials, but there is small hope
Of changing the present conditions. 1t
was discovered that nearly all the roads
are tied up with contracts which COW
cred the entire year and that the best
thing that could be done would be to
try to line up the situation for 1907.

''The merger is inevitable, but when
1t will come I am not prepared to say.''

LONGWoRTHs DELAYED;

Accident to New Orleans Havana
Steamer Holds Them in Cuba.
By Publishers Press.
New Orleans, Feb. 24.-The visit of
Mr.. and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth to
New Orleans viii probably be post
poned and they will not be present at
the carnival. A cablegram that a mis-
fortune had happened to the Southern
Paciic's New Orleans-Havana liner,
the Prince Arthur, at sea, was received
today. The starboard shaft of the
steamer snapped, leaving her crippled.
This accident made docking of the
steamer necessary, and will, in all
probability, force the cancellation of
all reservations for early sailings on
that vessel. Unfortunately, the
Southern Pacific is at this time short
of sea going steamers, and it will be
difficult to fill the place of the Prince
Arthur Immediately.

by each is not known The light

old game of the lost pocket book.
One would pretend to find a book
that had presumably been lost by
some one. For the purpose of work
ing the game successfully the book
would contain large bill. A dispute
would take place between the finder
ening to have the other 'pinched"
unless he received share of the find

place in the presence of negroes who
did not suspect that it was a put up

amount in the purse, but he could
not produce the exact amo III of
change. He wsHrt l- her tr',;5Th to some
negro standing by and borrow the
amount until he could have the bill
broken. After being accommodated
with a loan he would pretend to go
to the ticket wagon to get the bill
changed, but as he never returned it
is supposed he is still following the
