man without causing any suspicion Of
foul play afterward.
"What kind of poison should !
use?" the man asked.
II couldn't tell you without know

the sex, age and other matters, for
lpoisons work differently on different
kinds of people," Dalby told Wellen-

"Well," Wellendorf is declared to

years of age, but is husky, and It
would take good deal to kill him."
Miss Vera Britton, clerk in store

COST OF LABOR WARS

IL we had left any patriots in

the everlasting strife between capi-
tai and labor-to put an end to

New York, Oct 4 lS. IF. Augustus
Heinze has cut a pretty wide swatl
in New York financial circles from
the time OF his settlement of the
protracted litigation with the Anal
gamated Copper interests over
properties in Montana. At the set
tlemen of the trouble he received
"a large sum in cash, generally re-
ported to have been $S,000,000. /.
II was soon after he pocketed this
money that Heinze was elected presi-
dent Of the Mercantile National
bank.
Heinze's rise in Wall street was
picturesque. Although scarcely 40
years old he has caused more talk
in the street, and perhaps in the
country at large than many of
New York s big millionaircs who
have passed the three score mark.
A graduate of the Columbia uni
vcrsity school of mines, he started
West with little or no capital. The
boom in Montana copper proper
ties was Just gathering its first
strength then and young Heinze
plunged on claim. II was between
the Boston and Montana and the
Anaconda properties. Heinz struck
it rich. He not only worked the
vein under his own claim, but con-
tended that he had right to fol-
low the dip into the two other
mines.
The men who owned the two big
properties which Heinze threatened
to attack laughed at him. 10 was
absurd. they said. But Heinze

courts and brought suit after SUIT
One injun-tion in his favor after
another followed and he tied M
the Anaconda and Bpston and
Montana. AS soon as one injunc-
tion ran out or was vacated he
turned up with another estraining
order.

HEINZE CUT A WIDE
SWATH in NEW YORK
He is Believed to Have Gotten $ 900 From the Stand
ard Oil Crowd on One Deal-Although Young
Man in Wall Street he Made Old Heads Sit
up and Notice Him.

/, The Standard Oil people felt that
they had the law on their side and
could win out. But the working Of
their properties was being hindered.
And, besides, they had plans for
their development which they want
ed to work out. Finally Henry X.
Rogers went for Heinze.

You are aware that your contentious
are utterly groundless. We can

Standard magnate in the eye and
said:
"Mr. Rogers, I'm surprised. /
thought you were man Of broad

tiations. -
Then it was that Heinze. ac-
cording to the generally accepted

BUSINEss MEN FOR
BUSINESS OFFICES

IT Is a safe proposition to lay down
to e public, that the business of the
city when 1t comes to awarding con-
tracts and purchasing necessary
machinery and supplies, business men
should be placed in charge. The Sec
ret of good city government is the
application of good business sense.
For Board of Public Service the
democratic ticket presents three men
who own and control their own
business and who have conducted it
IN such a manner that all have made
successes. 1t is therefore considered
that the ticket Is an exceptionally
strong one to place before the voters.
One of the nominees, Michael Clary,
has been In the city service previous
ly. having served two terms in
council, prior to the adoption of the
code which Is now in operation
A part OF this time he was chair
man of the street and alley COM
mittee and in that capacity he be-
came familiar with the greater num-
Der of phases of city government.
During his entire time in the council,
he demonstrated that he had deep
interest in the welfare of the city
and always stood for that, which he
considered best. ~" '"''''

WOULD PUT LID
ON THE PRESS

ON THE PRESS
e. II. Hartman, the great railroad
magnate, took occasion, yesterday. to
tell the press representatives what
he policy of the newspapers should
be toward the railroads. He informed
them that charges made against the
railroads should not be published un-
til they have been proven and that
anything which would hinder the
railroads should be kept from the
public. In other words the railroads
should be given free hand to run
things just as they please, and the
public should be kept in ignorance
.of the way things are going.
In the same interview, Mr.. Har-
riman wants to solocit the assist
ance of the press and public In re-
moving the pressure which has been
applied by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. He believes that public
sentiment. influenced by the press,
could do much to extricate him from
the fix in which he finds himself.
DO all you can to help us and keep
the public in the dark when we at
tempt to steal march on them"
would seem to be the motto of this
railroad king.
This Is very much the policy of
every man. He is only too glad
to read the news about the other
fellow, but he does not want any
thing unfavorable published about
himself The universay opinion seems
to be that II is all right for a news
paper to do muck raking SO long as
It confines its operations to the other
fellow.
