Remarkable Device in New
vork a. Nnca

Iolyoke, Mass, March 23.-NIusic by
electricity will soon be put upon the
market in New York, where it will be
distributed from central station by
wires connecting with hotels, clubs and
residences. The invention. which is by
DR.. Thaddeus Cahill an Oberln college
graduate, for many years a resident OF
Washington, has been perfected IL
HOlyoke. and, with abundant financial
backing, it's success commercially is
said to be assured. The first machine
will be installed in New York within
three months. and will be able to sup
ply 5000 places with music.
An operator, sitting at an instrument
resembling the keyboard Of an organ,
by playing any musical composition
sends the tones over the wires at
tached to the instrument. Each wire
leads to a residence or public audi
forum. DR.. Cahill has succeeded in
eliminating the harsh, rasping tones OF
the graphophone. Subscribers merely
turn button and the current Of music
is on. The receiver may be placed upon
a mantle or a table, or hung on the
wall.
Dr. Cahills laboratory here has been
visited by the foremost scientists of
Europe and America. His first ma
chine was crude. Nevertheless it pro-
duced tones of good quality and great
power and demonstrated the practic-
ability of his idea.

Saltwater, Mimi, March 22.-Judge A.
T.. Doc, of the municipal court, has de-
rided that Percy F. Ward local agent for
the Jung Brewing company, is not entitled
to recover the $312.2O found to be due him
from Edwin st. John, candidate for
mayor of Saltwater in 1904, for beer, whis-
Ky and cigars, distributed gratuitiously
among qualified voters in order to induce
them to vote for Mr.. st. John. The court
found as fact that the two men partici-
pated knowingly and actively in the dis
trbuton and that their conduct tended to
promote an illegal and immoral purpose !,
In a memorandum Judge Doe says that
the beer, whisky and cigars so sold to Mr..
st. John were to be used to influence
voters there can be no question. None Of
1t was delivered to Mr.. st. John at his
nome or place of business, but was deliv-
cred at different times at different places
In the city, and that so-called election beer
parties were held at such places Both
men testified to such racts and to the
agreement to furnish the articles, and
there was no dispute or denial of these
facts. The court ends with the statement
that in view of the evidence the contract
Was illegal and the court could not lend
It's aid TO enforce the payment of the sum
demanded.

DEATH HELD BACK
Senator Bailey, Of Texas, Notified of
Bereavement After speeeh-Takes
DolIiver to Task.

Washington, D. c., March 23.-While
Senator Bailey OF Texas was addressing
the senate today and introducing an
amendment to the railroad rate BILL a
telegram came announcing the death of
his father. The message was kept from
him until he had concluded his re-
marks. He was then called into the
cloak room and told by Senator Fowler
of his bereavement. He Immediately
left the senate chamber.
Before Senator Bailey took the floor,
Senator Culberson introduced an
amendment to the railroad rate bill pro-
hibiting railroads from subscribing to
Il fine and Imprisonment for its viola
ton.
Senator Bailey then presented his
amendment to the rate bill. Before in
PRODUCING 1t Bailey said he had not
hoped the resolution would be accepted
without change. He also stated the pro-
vision had been circulated among the
friends of rate regulation on both sides
Of the chamber and he had, he said,
not given the amendment to the public
and would not now do SO but for the
fact that Senator Dolliver had dis
Cussed the provision in published in
terview.
Forsives Dolliver.
He relieved the Iowa senator from
imputation of Intentional divulgence OF
another's private papers, but said he
was confident the criticism had been
made without due consideration. Bailey
referred especially to Delivers decla-
ration that the Bailey provision would
deny just compensation, and replied to
the criticism by saying he had copied
the language of the constitution in his
proposed amendment.

Senator Dolliver disavowed any in
tention to reveal secrets of the senate,
stating the Texas senator's amendment
had been so much talked about in and
out Of the senate that he did not know
that 1t was confidential matter.
Discussing the merits OF the provis-

was impracticable.

JOHN D. ON VERGE OF
PHYSICAL COLLAPSE
Prisoner in His Own Homo, and Wor-
ried by Pursuit Of Him and by
Illness of DAUGHTER

New York, March 22-John D. Rockefe-
Ter. according to reports persistently cir
culated at Lakewood N. j., is on the verge
of u collapse. His recent worries over the
attempts to subpoena him by Attorney
General Hadley Of Missouri: the agitation
about tainted money and later and
deeply personal grief over the illness Of his
eldest daughter, Mrs. Charles A. Strong,
who Is now abroad, have seriously i'm
paired his health.
This accounts FOR the strange seclusion
into which the richest man in the world
disappeared some weeks ago. The mys-
terry has hitherto only been parity cleared
away by the positive location Of M.. Rock
efeller on his estate at Lakewood.
The people of Lakewood, many of them
friends and acquaintance Of the Rockefel-
lers, know the grief of the elder Rockefel-
Ter over the condition of his daughter, who
lived here up to the time when she was
suddenly taken abroad in the hope that
the change of scene and treatment by the
most eminent specialists might restore
her. She Is the wife OF Professor Strong.
who occupied the chair of moral philoso-
ply at Columbia. She first suffered a
breakdown while living here, and her hus-
band and family sailed with her as quickly
as arrangements could be made. She is
now at Cannes, France, and the latest re-
ports give no hope of her recovery to her
anxious father.
Sunday Mrs. Rockefeller, who regularly
attends the Baptist church at Lakewood,
was not at services, and her absence was
commented upon and gave strength to the
report that Mr.. Rockefellcr's condition re-
quired her personal attendance upon him.
Her secretary assured callers that Mrs
Rockefeller was not indisposed, but abso-
lutely declined to say anything about Mr..
Rockefeller.
Mr.. Rockefeller it is now believed, has
been at his Lakewood estate since Feb
ruary 9. and SO far as can be learned, has
voluntarily withdrawn from active bust
ness and church connections. Heis practic-
ally in exile. and so jealous of his seclusion
that it is almost dangerous for anyone to
venture upon his grounds
The residents of the quiet resort In the
pine forests could scarcely credit the re-
ports that Mr.. Rockefeller had come to
Lakewood to live like tower prisoner I'M
til armed guards suddenly appeared on the
grounds, about the time of his supposed
arrival, and soon after that heavy tim
bered gates were erected at each entrance
to exclude visitors.

Sherlock Holmes Fooled,

From the Kansas City journal.
There is a man at Ottawa whose obesity
and slovenl1ness increase with his age. He
has reached the point where personal APP
pcarance Is the least of his worries. The
other morning he came down town with
his chin all smeared with egg.
John. I'll bet / can tell what you had
for breakfast this morning." said bright
young lawyer who met him.
What did I have?" asked the man.
''You had eggs" replied the lawyer.

ST. Louis, March 23.-F'rom the stand
point of securing evidence to prove his
case, this week has been the most sue
cessful Herbert H. Hadley, attorney
general Of Missouri, has had since ths
beginning of the Standard Oil cases a
year ago. The things proved have been
already shown. but not in such con.
Vlncing form. This time the companies
nave furnished the proof themselves
charged or furnished evidence from
their own books that proved the wit,
nesses heretofore examined have told
the truth.
Briefly the attorneys acting in behalf
of their clients admitted:
That the Standard OIL company OF
New Jersey owns all the stock of the
Republic OIL company.
That there is u division Of trade
territory between the Standard OH
company Of Indiana and the Waters,
Pierce OH company Of Missouri.
Careful About Territory. I
That prior to the filing of this suit
an order for oil sent to the Standard
Oh company from Waters-Plerce terri,
tory was forwarded to the nearest Wa.
ters-Pierce office and filed by the Wa.
tcrs-Plerce company, and an order
from the Standard Oil territory sent
to the Waters-Pierce company was for.
warded TO the Standard OIL company
pany.
That the Waters-Pierce Oil COM
pany sends reports Of business every
month or oftener to an agent at Stand
ard OIL headquarters, No. 26 Broadway,
New York.
Testimony was introduced which
shows that 2,747 shares of stock In the
Warers-Pierce OIL company Is held In
the name Of M. Nj. Vanbueren, son-in-
law of John d. Archbold, who Is sec
Dnd only to H. II. Rogers in authority
in Standard Oil affairs. H. Clay Pierce
owns 1,2i7 shares and the remaining
Six shares are held by subordinates Of
the two companies.
Enormous Profits.
Rather than permit the question
whether the Waters Pierce Oil COM
pany had not paid 600 per cent. divt-
dend last year on its 100000 capitaliza-
ton, the company's lawyers offered to
admit that the property, which cost
100000 twenty-five years ago, is worth
at the lowest calculation $4,000, 600.
MI. Hadley expects to prove that this
100000 invested twenty-five years ago
has paid in dividends more than s23,-
100000 and built up business that is
now able to pay 10 per cent on S24,-
100000, and probably is worth as a
growing concern close to s40,O00,0OO.
When the taking of testimony before
f. A. Anthony, the commissioner ap-
pointed by the supreme court, was re-
sumed after the noon recess, John J..
johnson for the Waters Pierce OIL
company, answering the order to pro-
lluce books and papers Of the COM
map or contract for division of trade
territory, but would admit that each
company kept out of the territory of
the other.
