TOLD HOW HE GOT IT.
Cassatt's Assistant Got Stock
Worth 1907, 900 As Gift.

PHILADELPHIA, May 24.-The in
terstate commission esum
ed its investigation of the Pennsylva-
mia railroad relation to the coal com
panies. The first witness called was
w. A. Patton, assistant to President
Cassatt at Philadelphia.
The examination of Mr.. Patton de-
veloped the fact that he held stock in
a dozen coal companies, GAO shares
of which, with a par value of $3O7 900,
he had acquired without payment. In
addition he owned 700 shares which
had been paid for.
"How do you explain the fact, Mr..
Patton" queried Mr.. Glasgow, the COM
missions attorney, 'that you acquired
principally through George f. Hun
such an enormous amount of stock?'
Mr.. Patton said he was born in west
ern Pennsylvania and had been a life
long friend of Colonel Huff. "Friend-
ship" he said, .'goes a good ways.
These stocks were not given me for
any favors l might be able to do the
companies. Some years ago the Penn
sylvania Railroad company had to en-
courage the developments of the soft
coal lands. Then 1t was not considered
a crime, as it appears to be now, for
a railroad man to hold stock In a coal
company. | have never attempted to
conceal my ownership of coal company

Shot In Back By Unknown
Man Last Night.
Negro Car Cleaner Of Traction COM
pany Meets With Fatal Recep-
ton at House.
HE SAYS IT WAS uNPRovoKED

With large caliber pistol ball
lodged in his lungs Tom Green, a
negro car cleaner staggered into the
Paducah Traction company sheds on
West Broadway, at 1880 o'clock
last night, saying that he was dying.
He reeled, fell across the platform
of a trailer and remained motionless
Laborers rushed to his side, carried
him into the Office and summoned
medical assistance.
DR.. Frank Boyd found Green
alive but perhaps MORALLY wounded.
A pistol ball had entered his back
just below the shoulder blade on the
right side and lodged In the lung.
The physician was unable to extract
the bullet and had Green removed
to his home ON Thirteenth street,
half a square north of Trimble
street. It is the physicians opinion
that Green will die.
Green was able to talk, and
claimed an unprovoked attack was
made on him by a negro. He left the
car shed about 1915 O'Clock and
walked across the commons from
Kentucky avenue to Alice Perkins
house, back of the railroad shops.
He claimed he had a message for the
woman.
II knocked, Green explained.
1.-THE door was opened and a strange
negro ordered me away from the
house using a vile name and I turn
ed to go as he shot me. Green ran
to the car shed.
This statement was made to OFF,
Gals of the traction company ami
DR.. Frank Boyd. Green claimed he
did nothing whatever to provoke the
assault.
The police sweated the woman,
but she claimed she knew nothing
about the matter. The name of the
negro who did the shooting was not
learned last night. the woman say
ing he was called Pretty BOY" The
police are unacquainted with such
character.

Dick flung back the I'D. In an inscans
a flare of fire spouted out with great
roar. The two men. the room and the
greater part OF Yeh's dwelling were
blown to shreds- They had expected to
find a fortune, instead OF which they
discovered dynamite and a terrible
death.
Two months after this. when London
had almost forgotten the mysterious
explosion in Vesey street. Whitechapel.
"a Chinaman was reporting himself to
the priests OF Kwan-tafS temple, Can
ton, in this fashion:
Most holy men," said he. pointing to
number OF golden images which lay
on a lacquer table before him, here
are the images OF Kwan-tai the gods
of the imperial house OF Tsin, brought
back from the dark land OF the outer
barbarianS by your servant Yu-ying-
When your greatnesses found the con-
fession of the evil priest Poa that he
had stolen the gods and had conhded
the secret OF their whereabouts to tho
Jade image OF Kwan-tai. you ordered
your unworthy slave to search and ind
the treasure, so that II should be re-
stored TO the temple in the Street OF thu
Water Dragon. But before your SER
want could depart to the Land OF Dark
ness foreign devil. also possessed OF
Poa's secret. stole the Jade image which
contained the name OF the hiding-place.
I, foolish Yu-ying, followed the bar
barian in q tea junk to his own land:
but 1t was many days before I could
get the jade image. Then the foreign
devil pawned for gold the sacred idol
OF war, and 1t was placed in the win
dow OF the shop. I broke the IMAGE
and going to the house OF Yeh 1 re-
covered the golden idols which are now
before you. But L wished TO punish
Yeh for his sacrilege In conspiring
with Poa against Kwan-tai. and also to
kill the foreign devil who had thieved
the jade god To this end I removed
the golden idols from the box and in
their place I left dangerous powder
of the barbarians which they call dyna-
mite. This I arranged with care so
that when the lid OF the box was flung
open II would rush out like the breath
OF the Fire Dragon and Slay those who
came to steal the gods As intended
holy ones. so il happened. as I have
learned since The foreign devil and a
friend were shattered. and also the
house Of Yeh was destroyed. It was
for this end that 1 restored the idol
Kwan-tai to tho pawnshop. and thus
did I lure the foreign devils to their
deaths. Now noeOne knows the truth

yourselves. Say. have 1 done wel1r'

y When Hagar retired Nat came back
to the table and found that DR.. Dick
had ascertained the meaning of the
Chinese characters. They gave the ad-
dress of one Yeh, who kept an opium

."Yu-ying, doctor. l don't trust that

the Jade god for?'
Because he couldn't fnd the secret

ing that the image was no good, he

'twouldnt surprise me to find as how
,Yu-ying has lifted the lot of them

tai so as we kin take a squint at the

turning pale. But we had better make
certain of what has been done. Come

On arriving at Whitechapel the two
adventurers had some difficulty in dis
covering Vesey street. and 1t was quito

whereabouts. Itproyed to be a narrow

but at the back OF the shop, through an
other dark passage. there was an opium
den. The boy spoke to a spectacled
Chinese merchant about the two Eng
lishmen, whereupon he came forward
and addressed them in his own tongue.
What can your vile slave do for the

asked the suave Celestial. with all the
