j. P. MORGAN ouTGENERALED?
Ohio Sorry Says He May Be Forced to
Buy Zimmerman Railroad. 4

Cincinnati, Sept. 2o.-Not content
with selling j. P. Morgan the Cincin-
natl, Hamilton & Dayton Railroad
and other lines comprising the Great
Central system, in which he made
profit of more than s1,0oo,o00,
Eugene Zimmerman, father-in-law Of
the Duke Of Manchester, it is asserted
here, has practically made il incum-
bent on Mr.. Morgan to purchase the
Detroit, Toledo & Ironton Road also.
In railroad circles here today the
matter was freely discussed. thinner
man sold his Great Central system
to Morgan, and the latter, falling to
complete the sale of it to the Erie,
was forced to throw the system into
the hands OF receiver. Judson
Harmon was appointed and is still
acting.
Following this deal, Zimmerman
and his associates acquired controi
of the Detroit Southern and some
valuable coal lands in Kentucky,
Morgan and his followers have, it is
said, but recently became aware that
Zimmerman is in a position to ham
per the development of Morgan's
coal traffic in kentucky, as handled
by the Chesapeake & Ohio and the
Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Rail
roads.
Zimmerman worked quietly and
now has a bridge started across the
Ohio River at Ashland, KY, across
which the Detroit Southern will run
to enter the kentucky coal fields.
Morgan. through his interests, has
had practically a monopoly Of this
business for some time, but Zimner-
man, it is believed here, will be in a
position TO dictate terms, owing to his
better facilities for reaching the
great lakes over the Detroit Southern.
Zimmerman himself spent the sum
mer in Ireland. During his absence
the work progressed rapidly and now
the Detroit Southern Road, it is as
serted m some quarters, is almost
ready to begin war with the Morgan
roads for the coal business Of East
ern kentucky.
Zimmerman has been in Toledo for
a week, and, it is reported, is ne
goti-ting with Morgan for the sale
of the Detroit & Toledo Ironton,
which is the strategic line desired

fall far short of the mark than to
try to live up OF the Confucian ideal
and succeed
He was sure that throughout the
world the Christian ideal and demo-
cratic doctrine were gaining daily,
and said that American politics would
feel their purifying and uplifting in
fuence more and more strongly with
the passing of the years.
Mr.. Bryan .reasserted his faith in
the democratic doctrine Of allowing
the Fihppines to govern themselves
instead Of regulating their affairs by
outside force. He spoke of the costly
blunder the Republicans had made,
which cost this country s500,000,000
more than enought, the speaker de-
clared, than would be necessary to
dig the Panama canal without tax on
the people, more than enough to re
claim the arid lands Of the West,
more than enough to regulate rail-
road rates.
In closing and speaking OF the ap-
parent attitude on the part Of those
who had introduced him that he was
"being induced to speak," was con-
ferring favor Of the audience, Mr..
Bryan told a story on himself illus
trating his always being ready to
speak. He said he liked to speak.
Mr.. Bryan closed with a spectacu-
larly attractive period on the cor
rupting influence of the money pow
er. He said the Democratic party
several years ago had warned those
people that if they did not stop steal
ing they would not only be stopped,
but would be compelled TO restore
what they had stolen. He said their
morals had become SO prevented that
they had lost the art OF using the
money after they had stolen it, and
were pursuing a game that was Tot
only debauching, but that would
finally destroy them as well.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan and a few in
vited guests were entertained at
luncheon by Mr.. and Mrs. w. E.
Gonzales, at their home on Senate
street.
Several hundred people took ad-
vantage of the opportunity afforded
by the reception in the State house
corridors after the speech to meet
the Great aCommoner and his charm
ing, unaffected wife.

wren Charles Dudley Warner was
a newspaper editor in the early '6os
he was accustomed to write his edi-
torials upon the war with fervid haste
regardless Of the consideration Of
handwriting, says The Pittsburg
Press. One day a typesetter left the
composing room and appeared at the
editors desk: "Mr. Warner" he said,
GIVE decided to enlist in the army"
With mingled emotions Of pride and
responsibility, Mr.. Warner replied
that it pleased him that the man felt
the call to duty. "oh it isn't that"
said the truthful compositor, but
I'd rather be shot than to set your
copy"

Dispensary Testimonial.

Mr.. Thomas T. Taylor, who is said
to have been making a trip this year
through the South for a New York
daily newspaper which is not more
exactly described, for the. purpose of
gathering impressions" was in
Memphis one day last week and when
he was asked what had struck him as
most peculiar on his trip through the
South he declared that he thought
'the South Carolina dispensary law
was the most peculiar thing I have
seem He had understood that un-
der it drunkenness could not obtain,
but he declared "I hadn't been in
Charleston five minutes before 7 saw
a number of intoxicated men. The
saloon is practically wide open. Not
only that but nearly every drug store
and restaurant has a hole in the wall
where you can get small bottle"
ETC., etc. This will be news to the
people who nave lived in Charleston
all the time. We do not mean to
say that there is any great scarcity
Of drinkables in thas city, but we do
say that there is less drunkenness in
Charleston than in any other city Of
its size and peculiar conditions in
che country. It takes q stranger with
a thirst to find the holes in the wall

DEMANDED STAR; ARRESTED
J. F. McCIusky, Street Car Conductor,
Taken to Station by Officer Ohms,

Because of an altercation between
the two, j. F. McClusky, a conductor
on the Elm street line, was arrested
this morning by officer Ohms, one of
Mayor McCaskrin's recently confirmed
policemen. AS near as can be learned
the trouble arose over the officers re-
fusal to display his star on the conduct
or's demand. The conductor was re-
quired to leave his car and accompany
the officer to the station. The affair
seems largely to have been a personal
matter between the officer and the
street car man. 1t occurred this morn
ing at 7:3O If there were charges filed
against McClusky the police refuse to
say what they are.
