RAILROAD MAGNATE
BROUGHT TO ACCOUNT
lRy the Associated Press. J

ST. PAUL. July 23.-Clarence II.
Venner of New York wants j. J. Hill
to account for and disgorge an al
legged profit of 100000, which
Venner claims Hill made in the tran
saction whereby the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific companies q
quired the capital stock of the Cf +
cago, Burlington & Quincy. Venn
began a suit against Hill and tle
Great Northern Railroad company
in the district court, the complaint
being filed late yesterday, in which
he alleges that Hill wrongfully and
fraudulently, while acting in his
capacity as president of the Great
Northern Railroad company acquired
stock of the Chicago. Burlington &
Quincy railroad at prices averaging
about $3.50 per share, and that he
induced the board of directors of
the Great Northern to pay 5000 per
share for the stock. He claims that
Hill thereby made profit of more
than ten million dollars.
Venner sues as the holder of 300
shares of Great Northern stock and
asks the court to compel Hill to ac-
count for his profits and to pay to
the stock kholders of the Great North
ern the alleged Illegal gains.

RICHARDSON CONCLUDES PLEA
(By the Associated Press }

(By the Associated Press.)
BOISE, Idaho, July 23-Forsak-
ing the theory of vengeance, as Or
chard's motive for the murder of
former Governor Steunenberg, E. +.
Richardson argued that Orchard was
in the employ of the Pinkerton de-
tective agency when he killed Steun-
enberg, and that the murder was
part of conspiracy to hang Hay
wood. This sudden departure was
followed by tremendous denunca-
tion of Captain James Mcfarland
and the Pinkertons and passionate
vituperation of Orchard, Governor
Gooding of Idaho, Senator Borah.
Governor Peabody of Colorado ana
in fact all who have acted on the
side of the prosecution of Haywood
came in for share of the avalanche
of Richardson's peroration.
One of the arguments in de-
fense of William ID. Haywood
was concluded this evening.
E. r. Richardson, having spoken
for nearly nine hours, wound
up with peroration in which he elo-
quently pleaded with the jury not to
convict Haywood on the Testimony
of the self-confessed criminal, Or
chard, whose testimony, he said, had
not been corroborated by any testl-
mony, standing by itself and unsup-
ported, to connect Haywood with
any conspiracy to commit crime
Mr.. Richardson denounced and
charged the PinKerton Dett.,-ga
agency with syste matte plot to sci
cure the conviction OF Haywood |
Meyer and Pettibona as a means tG1I
the desired extermination of the |
Western Federation of Miners. Clari

feet that the naval militia Of the United

APPONAUG

Owing to the accident at Hillsgrove,
Thursday the Apponaug cars were run
ming off schedule time all evening. The
traffic on the Apponaug and East Green
wich route is very heavy at present A
great many people are complaining about
the poor service in the evening from APP
ponaug TO Providence. The last car run
ming on half-hour time leaves Apponaug
at 1920 p. m. which is rather early. A
great many peofae get disappointed by
believing that there Is a car that leaves
Apponaug at s:20 y. m. But this Is not the
case. The residents Of Apponaug feel that
there should be car leave Apponaug for
the city at s 20 p. m. and car leave
Providence for Apponaug at 6:l5 p. m.
These two extra cars would be apprecia-
ted and the company would have no fear
of the trip not paying.
A great many residents OF Apponaug,
who. up 10 few years ago lived in Paw
tucket, were glad TO hear that their old
friend the Hay Cart" won first prize at
the muster Thursday.
Charles Cranshaw of Central Falls Is
spending his vacation with II. Percy
Ponto OF Apponaug.
Miss Maria T. Ryan, clerk in the office
OF the Apponaug company. leaves today
