Thursday in his apartments in the
Wa.dorf-Astoria hotel, New York.
His st. Louis relatives were at the
bedside, having arrived in New York
Tuesday night.
Press dispatches from New York say
Mr.. Turner was taken i'll several weeks
ago, but improved steadily, and NO
thought Of his sickness having a fatal
termination was entertained until Mon
day, when he had a severe hemorrhage
OF the stomach. From that time he
grew rapidly worse and became uncon-
scious Thursday morning.
DR.. Gibbons, who had beer attending
Mr.. Turner, summoned DR.. Janaway, a
celebrated specialist who attended the
late Charles T. Yerkes at the hotel, and
a consultation was held Wednesday.
Mr.. Turner rallied that day, but he
collapsed Thursday evening, and soon
passed away.
Charles H. Turner was best known
in st. Louis business and finance as
president of the Suburban railroad and
of the Commonwealth Trust Co., but he
was connected prominently with many

Expected to Unite in D~emandin
Equitable Prices For

Indianapolis, Ind. - A strike
of the 200, 600 farmers, composing the
American Society of Equity, an organi-
cation with headquarters in Indianapo-
lis, has been called for March 1. Every
II who responds to this call will agree
to withhold from marketing any agri-
cultural products excepting at prices
that are up to the level that has been
agreed as equitable by the officials of
lis organization.
This organization claims that the pro-
Queer ought to get at least one dollar
a bushel for wheat, no matter what may
be the size Of the crop. The call for
the strike sets forth a minimum selling
price on all farm products, prices which
the agricultural strikers claim they are
entitled to and can get if they stand to-
gether.
Kansas and Minnesota are being
flooded with copies of this call. 1t is
figured by the officials of the ~organiza-
ton that if these states should hold out
for the higher price the movement will
prove a success.

Thomas, who in turn presented Lieut..

Bishop Galloway, which he did in brie1

divine told his we'll considered sketch
of Lamar, told with all the fervor and
strength of one who had studied his
hero well and intimately. who, as he
remarked, was the Gamaiiel at whose
feet the speaker had sat and from
whom he had drawn inspiration.
Throughout his long and eventful ca

story of Lamar, and such was the
sketch he drew that one could not helr

Chicago. - Johann Hoch is
dead. The drop fell at 1:34 p. M, Fri
day. The hardest man to hang Cook
county ever knew breathed his last one
minute later. The body was cut down
at 1852.
A wall Of grief from his fellow pris-
oners sounded through the Jail at the
crash that marked the end Of q re-
markable criminal and the finish Of a
fight against the penalty for murder
that for stubbornness, ingenuity and
dramatic features has seldom been
equaled.
Hoch stood on the scaffo1d like a sol

Forgive them; I die an innocent man,
so help me God. Goodbye"
Hoch was hanged for the murder of
Emily Welker-IIoch, one Of his many
wives.

when his attorneys, headed by former
State Legislator Frank Comerford, ap-
piled to the United States circuit

Chicago.-All forms of trans
portation except the regular two cent
rate provided by law, will be cut Off

was reached at a conference here of
passenger representatives Of all rail-
roads with lines in that state. 1t was
agreed that by eliminating everything
except two cent fares the roads could
in a measure recompense themselves for
the loss caused by the new rate law.
The action contemplated will deprive
Ohioans of all reduced transportation

New York. Bradstreet's
weekly review says:
Springlike weather stimulates Job
bling distribution, inducing a larger
volume of house trade and also helping
retail business in spring and summer
fabrics. Crop preparations are going
forward actively, and at the south some
actual planting has been done. Ship
ments On orders are heavier than ever
before, and no complaints Of freight
congestion are heard. At practically
all points an early n long spring sea-
son is predicted. At the same time
there is an air of conservatism as to
the more distant future, due. mainly to
the larger stocks Of winter goods car
ried over, and also because of the re-
cent heavy drop in raw cotton, making
buyers for next season cautious in plac-
ing orders. Like conditions are noted
in the leading industries. Iron and steel
production, while of unprecedented vol
ume, is largely for the first half of the
years requirements, far future orders
being of lighter volume.
