CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-An adver-
tisement in a Chicago newspaper
has, it is alleged, brought an inheri-
tance of more than $1,000,000, with
title of nobility, to George William
Northedge, a farmer of Marinette,
Wis, hereafter to be known as Sir
George William Northey-Northedge.
He is sole heir to an estate valued
at $1,1S5,0 900 In Montreal and one
of rs heirs to a larger fortune in
England.
Sir George never has been in Eng
land, but his wife was formerly a
lady in waiting to Queen Victoria,
leaving that position because her
family desired to force on her an un.
desirable marriage. Coming to Amer
lea she met Northedge and was mar.
ried to him without suspicion thai
thereby she was winning position
in English society.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Not
since the day preceding the passage
of the personnel law 10 years ago
has the feeling between the line and
staff of the navy been so acute as
today as the result of the refusal
of Admiral Brownson to transact or
ders from his superior officer, the
president of the United States, as
signing a naval surgeon to command
a vessel in the navy.
The differences between the line
and the staff just at the beginning
of the congressional session may
have "a bad effect upon legislation to
secure four great battleships, cruis-
ers and other war vessels through
the published statement of Surgeon
General Rixey. The merits of the
doctors side of the case have been
clearly set forth and the line OH
GERS believe that in common fairness
they should have a hearing, but are
embarrassed by reason of the fact
that Admiral Brownson preceded his
resignation by cold, clear, logical
presentation of reasons why he OBJ

geon to command naval ship, even

INTO COURTS FOR INJUNC-
TI0Ns TO RESTRAIN MINERS
FROM PICKETING

GOLDFIELD, Dec 26.-To carry
the fight into the federal court will
be the next move of the Goldfield

field Consolidated Mines company
against the Goldfield Miners union,
the Western Federation of Miners,
Charles A. MacKinnon, president OF
the miners local union. and 19 other
officers of the same.
The complaint sets forth the al
legged vast extent and richness of the
mining interests involved and the
large number of persons holding
shares in the mines in various states
and territories: alleges that thu
Goldffeld miners union and thu
Western Federation of Miners arr
voluntarily unincorporated associa
tions and that it is claimed to be ;
part of another larger organization
known as the Industrial Workers o
the World, also unincorporated
which has the same principles an
seeks to accomplish its results b
the same alleged unlawful method:
and has in its ranks as members G
these associations not only the min
ers of the Goldfield district. bu
other laborers, such as walters
cooks, clerks, BARRIERS and BARKER
ers.
It is further alleged that tn
Western Federation of Miners is o.
ganized for the destruction of pro-
erty and to create endless strife
disorder, bloodshed and rioting."

RAILROADBREAKS
CANAL RECORD
NORTHERN PACIFIC MOVES
MORE MATERIAL IN ONE
MONTH THAN GOVERNMENT
WORKERS ON ISTHMUS

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 26.-Much
has been said recently as to what is
being done by the government on
the Isthmus of Panama in the con-
struction of the canal, and in an
article which appeared short while
ago in the Literary Digest under the
caption, "Outdoing Expectations at
Panama." the writer referred with
a good deal of proper pride to the
fact that 1,86S,729 cubic yards of
material had been moved during the
month of October. This was, with
out doubt, a credit to American en-
gineering ability and methods. and
while the writer of the article look
ed upon it as representing a stu
pendous task and an unusual amount
!Df excavation, it is not so IL one
stops to measure the feat by SINH
lar feats performed on some Ameri-
can railways in these days of grade
revision and general reconstruction
The reader need not go far from
home to learn that during exactly
the same period the Northern Pa
cific railway moved 3,432,92S cubic
yards of material-almost doubl
that moved by the Panama cana
engineers-in new work under wa,
on that great system.
While this work was going on tn
usual heavy freight and passenge
traffic was moved without any seri
, Gus inconvenience from this cause
The figures afford an extremely In
teresting comparison and show at
single glance the tremendous volum
a of work being done by the Norther
Pacific in improving its facilities
p meet the new conditions.
This work is not confined to al
: one state, but includes the enti
: Northern Pacific country in Il
states of Wisconsin, Minnesot
n North Dakota, Montana, Idah
Washington and Oregon-from t
- Great Lakes to Puget Sound and t

PORTLAND, Dec. 26.-What may
be regarded as the first definite steps
toward reorganization of the Tempo
rarily suspended Merchants National
hank of this city took place Monday,
saws the Telegram, with the return
of President ]. F. Watson from the
East. While Mr.. Watson returned
from Washington Saturday evening,
he paid his first official visit to the
hank this morning. During the
whole forenoon and all day, in fact,
save for a short interval for lunch
con at noon, he was closeted in his
nriyate office with the directors of
the bank and Special National Bank
Examiner f. T. Wilson, at present
in charge of the institution.
The importance of the long
drawn-out conference may be Judged
from the fact that President Wat
son denied himself to everybody not
officially identified with the bank.

out during the day. WI 2sll5&-

probably 100000, or twice its pres

be made through the special exam
iner to realize as rapidly as possible

time of reopening for business will
depend to a great extent upon tn
success met with in this line.
Whether there will be an
changes in the personnel of official
or directors is at this time a mat
ter of conjecture, purely, but 1t

that Mr. Watson will remain at tn
head of the bank.
Upon his return home Mr.. Wat

would consent to it's resumption
business at the earliest possible da'
consistent with sound banking pril

Use AUTO TO

PLUMBER STORE, LOAD LOOT
INTO SPEED WAGON, MAKE A
RUNNING FIGHT WITH POSSE
IN PURSUIT

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 26.-The
looting of a small department store
in Whittier, suburb of this city,
the theft of an auto into which the
plunder was loaded, the discovery
of the robbers, swift pursuit by the
police in a second machine and a
running fight with revolvers for
miles over country roads and the
final escape of the robbers, unharm-
ed, in the darkness, were the fea-
lures of a thrilling affair occurring
shortly before daybreak here yes
terday. The two thieves, whom the
police believe to be boys, entered the
store of K1einberg & Co., on East
! Philadelphia street and distracted
quantities of shoes, hats, suit cases,
etc. These they loaded into an auto
which had been stolen several hours
before from DR.. Ray. D. Robinson OF
this city. Both robberies were re-
ported to the police.
Immediately the officers hired a
machine and accompanied by DR.
Robinson and a newspaper reporter
all armed. started towards Whittier
} surmising that they might get tracl
of the men returning to this city
Their surmise was correct. Severa
) miles out they discovered the head
: light of an auto approaching. TIL,
5 robbers also saw the machine of tn
8 officers and turning about flew to
2 ward Whittier. The police threN
on all speed and succeeded in gettini
: within 200 yards of the fleeing rob
e bers. Then the race began, whic
: continued for many miles. The off
d GERS called to the men in the ma
f chine in front to halt. There wa
g no answer. A shot was fired owe
l. their heads and the robbers crouch
ed low on their machine without d
minishing their speed.
n The occupants OF the police ms
\ chine then opened fus1llade {
! shots and for a mile continued
"a pour running fire into the au'
"a ahead. Suddenly the two men, will
! out Stacking speed, leaped from the
machine and fed in opposite dire
tions from the road. Their machir
struck telegraph pole and was pa

able to stop quick enough and we
carried by some distance.

MANDER OF HOSPITAL sHIP-CONFLICT BETWEEN STAFF
AND LINE OFFICERS OVER P2EFERMENT

though the vessel was exclusively
devoted to hospital use.
Applications at the White House
for copies of Brownson's letter met
with refusal. 1t is clearly impossi-
BILE for Brownson or any of his line
officers to make public a copy of the
letter without incurring the risk Of
a courtmartial on charges of disre-
spect toward a superior officei, the
president of the United States. So
they can only look for a change in
the executive mind or for a congress
sional investigation which will de-
velop all the facts
In the absence of the text of
Brownson's letter, 1t may be said he
has an objection twofold. like every
line officer, he believes that the sub
ordination of any line officers, no
matter how low in grade. to the staff
officer on shipboard is a bad policy
and subservative of naval discipline,
but a stronger objection IN his
mind, is that the proposed action Is
Illegal, as it is forbidden by law or

officer to the command Of ship
The staff believes this feature is de-
batable. S ,.,s. -- a-t4~a~as
