In PyLlLAN CAR
STOCKHOLDERS DEMANDS THAT
BIC SURPLUS BE DIVIDED
PRO RATA.

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-HopinE to
compel the directors of the Pullman
company to distribute millions of dol,
lars Of its earnings, which they say
is being withheld from them, stock
holders of the company are banding
together to force the issue. The
.Pullman's surplus is s27,000.OO0 and
Edward w. Henck. who is leading the
movement to make the company dis
gorge it's millions. demands to know
why the company is accommodating a
surplus which is now about 40 per
cent. of the capital stock. Henck be-
lieves the millions in the surplus may
be diverted to uses which will benefit
omcials of the company. but not the
stockholders. Angry stockholders say
the funds Of the company have been
banked in the Pullman Savings bank
and that the big surplus Of the Pull.
man company is used to make money
for the stockholders of the bank.
"Quite recently" said one of the
protesting stockholders to-day, there
was a small run on the Pullman Saw
ings bank and one of the directors OF
the bank came out and said no harm
could come to the bank because the
millions of surplus of tho Pullman
company would amount to over a mill
ion dollars annually. That sum right
fully belongs to the stockholders of
the Pullman company.

to purchase the stocks OF Inflated car

find out later that these inflated
stocks were sold to the Pullman com
pany by certain Pullman directors who
purchased them at low figures. The

plus is ~unnwarranted and the direc-
tors must give us an explanation"

Woman Released
.OnHabeas Corpus
MABEL WILLIAMs WAS SET FREE
BY JUDGE Huegs OF Wheel

~aIaN-HhNNL-
WHEELING, Sept. As44+MabeI Will.
Jams. the Pittsburg woman arrested 81
a fishing camp at the second of the
Three Sisters Islands Monday after
noon by Detectives Riley and LaIly
of the Pittsburg force, assisted by To-
cal officers was released yesterday by
Judge T. j. Hugus on a writ. Of habeas
corpus.
Attorney j. B. Handlan appeared as
the attorney for the prisoner and filed
a petition for her release. The peti.
ton states that the only pretext on
which the woman was arrested was a
warrant sworn out before Justice D.
u. Phillips by q. Riley. charging her
with being a fugitive from Justice. The
petition. also claims that the woman is
being held In jail illegally.
The woman was released from the
Jail and her bail was placed at $500,
with James A. Henry, the local real
estate man as surety. The writ is
made returnable September II at 3 p.
M, when Mabel Williams is ordered
to appear In. court.
A disappointed mar when the order
of the judge was hauled down was
Detective r. Riley of Pittsburg, who
has been here since Monday await
ing the necessary requisitton papers
that were to ONE from the governor
OF Pennsylvania. 1t will be necessary
for him tt return to Pittsburg without
Ills prisoner.
Two warrants await the William
woman at Ptttsburg. One of these
charges her with keeping a house for
the purpose Of prostitution and the
other with the Illegal selling of liquor.
The main reason, though, that she is
wanted in the city OF smoke is to tes-
tify in the graft charges against prom
inent oficials of Pfttsburg.

PAS Haircuts.

The boy is not to blame for stick
ing his tongue on the frost-ctrarged al
blade. Pa did the same thing yes
terday on the stock exchange, and
even pa couldn't let go quick enough
to keep from losing a patch of t1nan
cial cutIcle.
Speaking Of pa, reminds me that
there has been a lot of sentiment
about the pie that mother made, while
pas halrcuts almost have been for
gotten. 1t is not well that these
hirsute designs should go down to
oblivion unsung! Many a time has
pa caught me when | was a lad
clapped q sugar-bowl over my head
and cut away the salvage! The cor
ners we're then rounded with a hls
and | was admonished to duck Nmy
head In the rain-barrel to keep from
catching cold. There we're other hair
cutting systems in vogue when l was
a boy, but the sugar-bowi haircut was
looked upon as au fatt in II neigh
borhood. Once in a while come fond
paternal ancestor would try a butter
crock or q soup tureen as a diagram
for an fntegument, but somehow the
finished product lacked that fin de
steele chlcness which always marked
the sugar-bowl cut! A boy who has
had one Of these homemade hair.cuts
with sheep shears will never forget
the experiences OF youth, but the hol
pollol, mindful of other things, mag
grow careless in their memortzIng,
hence a timely eulogy on the tonsortal
styles Of boyhood days Is not irrele
want. Remember mas pie, but don't
forget pas hair-cuts!

In the dramatizcd version of Frank

in a wheat deal, and the lust of fight
gets into him. 1t is not the money he
wants. 1t is the sense OF power. the

have the bulk Of the other man tight

Wanted to Get Rid of Him

A number of politicians Tn washing. ton were once discussing the good and bad points of various statesmen with reference to their attitude toward their friends and enemies. when Senator Kean was reminded of an instance in the career of the late Senator Sewell. of New Jersey. says Harper's Weekly.
 Ii appears that Seweil had been a generous friend and an equally good hater, as was evidenced by his treat ment of a Col Scovel. who, 1t seems had dared to dispute SewelIs suprem- acy in Jersey politics. At one time Scovel imagined he had made his peace with Sewell and .ventured to ask a favor of his old enemy--something In the way of pass to Chicago. The pass came to him by return mail.
 The next day at the offices of the railroad, of which the Senator was an officer, Scovel thanked him for the courtesy; but as he did so he called attention to the fact that there was no provision made in the pass for the return trip East. Probably an mad vertence on the part of the clerk that made It out he observed.
 "Clerk nothing!" roared Sewell. 'rll have you know. Soovel. that I myself filled out that pass. I'm willing to send you to Chicago. but I'll be hanged If I'll help you to set back to Jer-, sey."

The Montgomery City Council last night received a statement from the Board of Trustees of the Carnegie Li- brary for the disbursements of the money appropriated by the Council for the running expenses of tho Library.
 Under a continuing appropriation the city allows the Carnegie Library t5.0oo annually. Alderman Lobman, Chair man of the Finance Committee of tho Council. by resolution some time ago called upon the Trustees of the Library for a statement of the disbursements of this money.
 The statement which is signed by all of the Trustees of the Library. Phares Alex Rice, A. J, Messing, Jr, J; B. Gas ton and c. A. Thizpen, shows that from March 21, 1904, to May 2, 1906, inclus- city $11.6e6.73, It is shown that dur ed tas sia,o76isa. ialS 9lsae 'ns Library mas ''''
 After the Library was completed, " that not being included in the gift of Mir Carnegie-and the grounds needed grading and an approach had to he built. In order to do this we had to borrow money. as the amounts needed for these purposes were greater than the monthly payments from the Coun- ell. The money was borrowed at the rate of six per cent interest DOT an nun. All of this money has been re- turned and the interest was paid out of the fines that have been collected
 It Is also shown that the Library Association has an obligation outstand- ing of S620 for books that have been ordered.
 Every item of expense incurred by the Library is included In the report which S accompanied by a statem ent from the Librarian, Miss Laura Elmore showing that there are now 4,TS9 books on hand and that since the Library was opened there have been S.955 bor- rowers.
 The report of the Board of Trustees was referred to the Councils Commit tee on Finance.

Growth of Bad Rooseveltian Habit.


 F Mir. Roosevelt's amazing readiness to de- nounce others as deliberate liars when, in his opinion. they happen to misrepresent him. Is again up for critical inspection He was not content in his telephone message to the senate. through Senator Lodge. to say that ex-senator W E. Chandler of New Hamp- shire had misrepresented him to Senator Tillman regarding his feeling toward sena- tors spooner. Foraker and Knox: the presi- dent took pains to announce on the spot without considering that Mir. Chandler's an tecedents and character entitled him to some respect, that 'the statement attributed to me by Mir. Chandler is deliberate and un- qualified falsehood." That word "deltber- ats''--consider 1t seriously for moment It constitutes the very gravest form of per sonal Insult that one gentleman can offer to another, and in the older days it almost in variably led to quarreels that could be set tied only on the dueling ground. For when you say that some told an untruth with "deIiberation." you deny that there could possibl have been an honest misunderstand- ing and thus you publicly brand that person as having no respect for veracity This habit of calling decent and often dtsting- uished citizens deliberate" liars appears to be growing upon the president
