of a rabbit that particular bunny is

IF the producer and the Southern

''Uncle Joe'' Says Country Does Not
Need Wall Street prosperity"


Washington, D. C.-With his usual
breeziness "Uncle Joe" Cannon,
Speaker of the House, took issue
with John D. Rockefeller on the point
that the country is nearing financial
panic. When asked for his opinion
of R~ockefeller's wall of hard times,
uncle Joe" laughed ironically and
replied:
"Bosh, all bosh; that's what it isp
this talk of financial ruin. The coun-
try never was better, and / guess
these fellows are ~squealing because
they've been stung. With me it's
simply a question of whether the
bulls eat the bears, or the bears eat
the bulls. The lament of Wall
Street, and of Rockefeller with his
ear to- a telephone accepting calls to
syndicates, doesn't mean the length
and breadth of this glorious land.
There happens to be. a few million
farmers in this country of ours, and
they are not bothering about this cry
of financial panic; they're busy har-
vesting their crops"
Then uncle Joe" laughed again,
but this time without the ironic ring,
and he clapped his palms together.
"By crieky, when I looked around
me the other day at those farmers in
Illinois and saw the way they were
working, / said to myself: These
boys are too busy to be led astray by
the croakers of Wall Street. Nc
! fear; the farmers will be buying more
| automobiles this fall, and instead OF
disaster there will be more real pros.
perity than ever before. Real pros.
perity, I said-not the Wall Street
kind"

RAILROAD EARNINGS ENORMOUS
Gross Increase in 1905 $234,442,5 1O
Over 1905.

New York City.-The gross earn
fngs of the railroads of the United
States during 1906, according to
the fortieth number of Poor's
Manual, made the enormous increase
over 1905 of $234,442,516. The net

to higher wages and increased cost
OF material. Over 100000 more
people travelled by rail in 1906 than
in the preceding year, while the rail
roads moved 1,61O,099,829 tons as

MISSING GIRL FOUND
DEAD IN The LAKE
Miss agnes Mcguire, OF Brooklyn
Drowned at Hopatceng, N. j
CORONER CALLS IT SUICIDE
Says She Was Not Attacked-Father
Insists Murder Was Done-Dis-
appeared During q Storm-She
Was q School Teacher.

Lake Hopatcong, N. 1.-THE body
of Miss Agnes Mcguire, the pretty
Brooklyn school teacher who mys-
teriously disappeared during a storm
at Lake Hopatcong, was found in the
lake by Chief of Police Christie, who
had been dragging the lake all night.
1t was found directly in front OF
Camp Lookout, at Nolan's Point, not
far from the station of the Central
Railroad of New Jersey. 1t was near
there that Miss Mcguire was last
seen.
James Garrison and William Sny-
der, of Paterson, helped Constable
Christie to bring the body ashore and
carry it into the boathouse of Aliens
Hotel.
After viewing the body Coroner
Hitchins and DR.. Sabater, a New York
physician, decided there was no sign
of violence, and declared that in his
opinion Miss Mcguire had committed
suicide, as it was not probable, he
said, that the girl could have wan
dered into the water accidentally I'M
der the influence of fright.
Despite the Coroner's decision the
dead girls father refused to believe
that his daughter had taken her own
life, and demanded that a thorough
investigation be made by the authori-
ties.
The news of the finding of the body
quickly spread and parties of campers
began to set out for Nolan's Point
in launches and boats of every de-
scription. Soon a big crowd had
gathered at the boathouse, but only a
few persons were permitted to see the
body.
Miss Mcguire and her cousin, Chas.
Mcguire, Of Dover, had driven to
Camp Look Who's Here, near Nolan's
Point, in a buggy and were about to
start for home when a thunder storm
broke.
Mcguire left his cousin in the
buggy while he ran to the camp to get
a suit case, and when he got back a
few minutes later she had disap-
peared.
The only person who saw the
young woman after her cousin left
her was Mrs. Lockman, a guest at the
camp. Mrs. Lockman says she saw
Miss Mcguire leave the buggy, but
did not see which way she went.
The young woman was greatly
afraid of lightning, and there were
several terrifying flashes just before
she disappeared.
{ Miss Mcguire had been in an ex-
tremely nervous condition for a long
time and had been visiting her unele's
home in an effort to regain her
health. 1t is believed that after her
cousin left her she became terrified
by the lightning and that when she
got out of the buggy she ran to the
lake shore, and, not knowing where
she was going, fell into the water and
was drowned.
Miss Agnes c. Mcguire was twenty
seven years old. She lived with her
parents at 81 Second place, Brooklyn,
and was a teacher in Public School
So.
/ John Mcguire, the father of the
girl, is a tea merchant in business at
269 Columbia street, Brooklyn.
