Washington, Sept. 23.-The Cuban
situation will not be allowed to af-

Railroad control has passed into

the use of his name lest he jeopardize
his position. I'VE have found it fool
ish for us to make any demands of
this combination separately. We have
decided to cast our lot together and,
in future, our demands will be sub
mitted through a committe selected
from all the unions on all the roads.
We will go, too, to the men in actual

st. Louis is being terrorzed by a man

noted, he has committed his remarkable
crime after nightfall, only yesterday be-
coming so bold as to attack victim In
the daylight. Thus far seventeen women
and girls have been stabbed by him. assum-
ing that all the cases reported to the police
are traceable to this same source.
These mysterious criminals appear from
time TO time in various places. Physicians
thoroughly understand their character and
promptly ascribe the true causes. Their
scientific knowledge, however, is OF little

perpetrators of the outrages, who often go

dresses. Many handsome and costly gowns
we're ruined In this manner. He was finally
caught in street car, thanks to the nerve
and readiness of a young woman who de-
tected him In the act Of cutting her dress.
He was found to be demented and was
later shipped back to his native home, In

There Is no safeguard against such men

them as with ordinary offenders. They
must be treated as though insane, as In
