The committee on advertising was given
valuable suggestions by the agent, an ex-
pert in such matters. He. in turn, was fur
nished by every member of the association
with data relating to the capacity, rates.

hotel. All this. with similar information
concerning the houses of persons not in the
organization, appeared later in the first

Wrecks Eat Up the Profits.


OF course road taking an excursion
makes every possible effort to put 1t
through without even minor accident be-
falling the meanest excursionist. But hui
man cogs will slip--and some of the worst
wrecks in the history of railroading have
occurred on excursions. 1t takes only one
such wreck to eat up all the profits of
railroads summer business for several
summers There Is always the possibility
that such a wreck will happen Hence, In
order to get away from strain due to
thought OF the possibility. not few rail-
roads have abolished the one-day excur-
sion.
The summer harvest begins about the sec

what Is known as the summer schedule Is

Finds Broken Rail, and Seeks Help to
Signal Passenger Train.
North McGregor, March Saturday
morning as passenger train No. was
two miles from Harper's ferry, the
train was tagged, and the crew and
passengers saved from what might
have been, terrible wreck.
A little girl named Callahan, aged
ten years. was walking the track en-
route to the school house when she
noticed piece of one of the rails, about
fourteen inches, broken out. With the
forethought of one many years older
and knowing the passenger train would
be along in a short time. she ran to
a farm house and got the owner to
come with her and signal the train.
When she had taken him to the place
where the broken rail was, she left him
as guard to signal the train, and she
went on to the school.
The man, instead of going toward the
the train to signal, tagged it at the
broken rail- waving his signal frantic
ally. Engineer John Ernsley saw the
signal, put on the emergency brake,
and brought the train to a stand
still
The train was heavily loaded and

MoERkE's RELEASE REQUESTED.
Postmaster Of Columbia, Isle of Pines,
Imprisoned by Cuban Government.


Washington, March 6.-Letters have
been received by the two Iowa senator's
and Representative Hepburn, request
ing them to call on the secretary of
state to secure the release of A. W.
Moerke, postmaster of Columbia, Isle
of Pines, formerly a resident Of Iowa
Mr.. Moerke was recently sentenced
to fifty days in jail in Cuba. for re-
fusing to pay an extra license as
storekeeper to the Cuban authorities
in control of the Isle of Pines. The
reason given for preferring the re-
quest is that the Cuban courts have no
legal jurisdiction in territory outside
of their constitutional boundaries,
which has already been ceded to the
United States by Spain.
The letters make the further request
that if necessary, legal steps be taken
to secure damages for Mr.. Moerke from
the United States authorities on ac-
count of his enforced Imprisonment by
a foreign power on United States ter
ritOry.

II. II. Rogers, the Standard Oil
King, Said to Have Revenge
on Copper Magnate
GOT HIS MILLIONS BACK
Heinze Who Forced the Rogers Crowd
to Pay Fabulous Sum to Him for
His Copper Mines Alleged to Have
Been the Victim of Rogers Clever
Scnemins.

New York, March 6.-H. II. Rogers
has been cunning for f. Augustus
Heinze, says Wall street report. The
Standard Oil Nemesis has bagged his
game, according to John w. Gates.
Heinze recently forced Rogers and his
allies to pay him a gigantic sum for
certain Montana copper mines and
peace. That sum is variously estimat-
ed at s11,0O0,00O to $25,OO0,O0O.
Rogers is one of the best haters in
the world, and after he succeeded in
eliminating Heinze from the Montana
situation he proceeded to get revenge.
Incidentally he calculated on getting
back the millions which young Heinze
had forced him to give up in order to
secure an end TO the interminable law
suits over the copper companies of the
Northwest.
Mr.. Heinze and his friends were be-
lieved to have invested their money in
copper stocks. Their theory was that
the settlement OF the war and the
great savings to be effected in connec-
ton with the high prices of copper
would make the stocks boom.
Rogers learned that they had loaded
up on coppers, and he mm ediately
proceeded 10 manipulate the stock
market SO as to relieve the Heinze
crowd of it's millions. That is believed
to be the true explanation Of the heavy
selling Of copper stocks and the conse-
quent slump in the market. Heinze
and his followers are estimated to have
last few days.
John w. Gates declared himself to be
bull on the stock market, stating that
liquidation had gone far enough. On
being asked why he had reached this
opinion he said:
"Heinze and his friends, both those
of Butte and those of the east, have
sold out their Amalgamated and. Ana
conda shares at heavy loss. under
stand their holdings of Amalgamated
Copper aggregated 100000 shares"
How much of loss does this SELL
ing out of long copper holdings show?"
Mr.. Gates was asked.
II won't say but I think you will
find out that they bought their Anal
gamated Copper shares from SLIP up
ward and that they sold them from
$1O7 downward"
This statement gives color to the
rumors that had circulated in Wall
street for several days prior to the eff
feet that Rogers. the chief power in
the Amalgamated Copper Company,
was depressing its shares in a relent-
less campaign to shake Heinze and
his following out Of holdings recent
ly acquired, mostly on margin. 1t is
known that Heinze and his friends
were very heavy buyers of copper
stocks just prior to the signing of pa
pers which settled the Montana war,
and Just following the announcement
Of that important step.
The day of the official announcement
that the settlement had been arrived
at Amalgamated Copper stock sold at
$11s, and yesterday 1t sold at 500.
Copper stock sold as sigh
as $500, and yesterday it sold at
245k. United Copper sold as high as
SIS, and yesterday it sold at $5S. Other
copper stocks have been much affect
ed by the depressing influence of the
Rogers bear campaign in coppers
against Heinze and his friends.
