AGED RANCHER MISSING
Indications That Old Man Was MUIR
dered in Cabin and Body
Taken Away

FRESNO, Feb. 11.-Henry A. Jack
son, an aged rancher, who recently
bought a five-acre ranch near this
city, has disappeared. Today his
cabin was entered by neighbors, who
had discovered blood spots on boards
at his door. The room was in risor-
der and on the floor were splotches OF
blood and in a corner a congealed
mass of it. There is strong suspicion
that he was murdered and his body
taken away in a wagon. To substan-
tiate this story, tracks Of a wagon
were discovered. The end of the wagon
had been backed up to the door of the
cabin. Rain had fallen on the tracks
and 1t is impossible to measure them
or tell how recently they were made.
Jackson was last seen Friday even
ing. He came here from Maine three
months ago and purchased the ranch.
He is believed to have had $1,000 in the
cabin with him.
When entered today the windows of
the cabin were hung with quilts, and
It is known that there were two less
quilts in the room than there ought
to be-

$4,000 A YEAR ENOUGH
Governor OF Minnesota Declares f!o
Man Has Right to Have
More
By Associated Press.

DULUTH, Mimi, Feb. lit do not
believe that any man should have more
than $4,000 year, for If he lives right
he does not need any more" declared
Governor John A. Johnson in an ad-
dress at the Lyceum theater tonight.
Governor Johnson spoke under the aus
pices of the Duluth Y. M. c. A. Con-
tinuing he said:
THE most vicious standard of success
in the world is that which sets up dol
lars and cents as the height of human
ambition. There is man in New York
who has set his ambition at one billion
dollars, and If he ever lives to acquire
it he will be sorry that 1t is not two
billion. The man who makes money the
be-all and end-all of his career Is the
most miserable man in the world.
There are many men whose records
are tending to besmirch the fair name
OF the nation" said the governor In
conclusion, but / believe we have at
its head a man who is great enough
and good enough to guide the ship Of
state in the right direction"

COMPARE PRUSSIAN AND
AMERICAN RAILWAYS
PRivY COUNCILLORS COMPLETE
INVESTIGATION
Roads In This Country Make a Poor
Showing In Many Respects as
Compared to Those on the Other
Side of the Atlantic
BY Associated Press.

BY AsSo ciated Press.
BERLIN, Feb. 11.-Privy Councillors
M. Hoff and f. Schwabach, whom the
Prussian government sent to the
United States in 1904 to study Ameri-
can railway systems, have just pub
lished an exhaustive work on their
which is attracting much at
tention in the German press.
Herren Hoff and Schwabach' make
many striking comparisons Of the
American and Prussian railways, often
to the disadvantage of the former
They quote official statistics, showing
that per million passengers carried the
American roads killed six times and
wounded twenty-nine times as many
of them as the Prussian roads. The
writer's found that the average pas
senger rate In America was 2.O2 cents
mile, against 09S cents in Prussia,
while freight rates nominally averag-
ing 0.78 of a cent per ton per mile in
the United States against 1.36 cents in
Prussia. This comparison, the authors
affirm, is fallacious because it ignores
some essential facts. The American
statistics include freight carried for
the railroads themselves, while the
Prussian statistics show only paid
freight. On the other hand the Ameri-
can statistics include high-class goods
carried by express companies. which
class is not included in the Prussian
figures. Furthermore they say the
American roads receive immense sums
for carrying the mails and the Prus-
sian lines almost nothing.
The original cost of construction of
the Prussian lines was 63 per cent
higher per mile than that OF the Amer
lean roads. If conditions were equal
lied at all points they figure that the
American average for freight would be
LA cents and that of Prussia 0.95
cents per ton per mile.

TENOR WAS NOT THERE-UN-

FRUSTRATED OVER CASE
Publishers Press1


New Yorh, NOV 17-Enrico Caruso
tenor of the Metropolitan Opera
House company, was arrested while a
visitor at the menagerie in Central
park on charge of disorderly con-
duct preferred by Mrs. Hannah Ora
ham. The complainant, who said she
was unaware Of the prisoners iden-
THY, alleged that Caruso repeatedly
insulted her. After having been lock.
ed up an hour Caruso was released on
bail furnished by Heinrich Conreid
Mrs. Graham said that he insulted
her not once, but three time, and
that she at first tried to get away
from him because of the delicacy Of
the situation and that his persistence
made it absolutely necessary for her
to protect hel self from him. Each
time she moved away she said Caruso
followed her. She was very nervous
and the last time he affronted her
she began to scream, attracting the
attention of every one in the animal
house. The crowd by that time was
greatly excited and pressed around
the man and woman. No one had the
slightest idea who the accused man
was, and many laughed at him when
he spoke vehemently and waved his
arms about(in wild gestures.
At the police station to which he was
taken the tenor created a scene, and
1t was only with difficulty that he was
induced to submit to the routine ex-
animation and search to which all
prisoners are subjected Throughout
the ordeal he vehemently protested
that mistake had been made in his
arrest
Caruso did not appear when his
name was called in police court. Nor
was Mrs. Hannah Graham, who pre-
ferred the charge against Caruso,
present in court. The attorney who
appeared for Caruso said the tenor
was physically unable to come to
court, i'll at his hotel completely pros
trated by the seriousness of the
charge lodged against him. at the
request of Caruso's attorney hearing
in the case was postponed till Nov. 81.
The policeman who made the arrest
agreed to the postponement and in
formed the court that he believed he
would be able TO find Mrs. Graham
and have her in court by that time.
AS the address she gave at the time
the arrest was ma6s proved to be f1c-
titious, it is possible that the com
plainant may 1fTer appear to press
the charge, Vfess she goes to court
