Jackson, Miss, September 2.--The
arrest mere early yesterday morning
of young ] C. Wells, postoffice clerk,
on the ehsfgs csEob' a. the mails has

old trick, was unknowE here, and
causing severe criticism.
The plan of using decoy letters wit
money inside secretly marked so tha
| it could be readily and surely identi
fed, is a simple and often effective /
mode of detecting criminals, and one
which can only bring guilty man
under suspicion, since no innocent
clerk would open postoffice package
or sealed letter, going through his
hands, unless he hoped 10 ind some.
thing OF value inside, and unless hel
intended to appropriate the contents.
! In the case of young Wells, the de-
coy was used with success and The

This may be all right; but 1t Is now
understood that this spy hole is to be

that all can be under espionage at any

New York, September 2.--That the
national conference on trusts and COM
binations, which is to be neld in Chi
cago in October will create unusual
interest is now apparent. Scores of
letters from men prominent in the va
rious pursuits have been received by
the National Civic Federation, under
whose auspices the conference is to be
held, almost without exception the ex-
pression1 Of the writers are highly
commendatory and the opinion that
great good will result from the, ex-
change of ideas appears to be general.
Among those who have written in this
vein are the Rev, DR.. Lyman Abbott,
D. D., editor of The Outlook; Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor; Richard Watson
Glider, editor Of The Century, John
Mitchell, president Of the United Mine
Workers Of America; Judge Peter G.
Grosscup, Of Chicago; Bishop Henry c.
Potter, Charles G. Dawes, the Chicago
banker; John M. Stahl, president of
the Farmers National Congress, and
Nahum J, Bachelor, grand master of
the National Grange.
DR.. Abbott in his letter voices the
sentiment which runs through all the
communication when he says: This
is "a time when we need light not
heat" Nearly all the writer's believe
that the greatest good will come from
the wide publicity which will be given
the trust question as result OF open
discussion by the leaders of thought
who will take part in the conference.
1T seems to me fundamentally true
writes DR.. Abbott, that the interests
of the railroads, the shippers and the
general public are essentially one, and
that it is Of the utmost importance
that men representing all these classes
should get together, compare views
and aR3nRypr to come to some agree
1fent % the general principles by
which these common interests can be-
best served. Mr.. Glider believes that
~'this talk will help to bring calmness
and coolness to the public mind. and

Bullet in His Back.

KANSAS CITY, February 20-Alfred
Anderson. twenty-four years old, was shot
and probably MORALLY wounded by Eva
McGeehon, twenty eight years old. at the
latters home yesterday. The bullet struck
Anderson in the back and lodged in his
abdomen.
Miss McGeehon said Anderson had been
coming to the window of the room where
she and two other girls lived for the last
four mornings and peepng in while they
were dressing. Last night" said She I'VE
procured a revolver and decided If he ap-
peared again We would take a shot at
him.
This morning at 6 o'clock he came to
the window. L took the revolver from a
drawer and opened the front door. He
heard me and started to run. AS he did
so fired two shots, one of which struck
him in the back
Anderson denies that he was peeping
but both Miss McGeehon and her com
panions say that such was the case "Furth-
erinore.' said Miss McGeehon. I'VE warned
his yesterday what would happen If he
peeped again. He has no one to blame but

The general came here to present testi-

the cup had to be sent back from Paris to

that connection an idea of the intricate
and delicate workmanship of the gift Is
conveyed by the fact that the general
could find no artisan in Paris to do the

sending the cup back to the Moscow silver

chancellor of the exchequer. upon what
grounds he sanctioned increasing the salary
of his late colleague In the cabinet to thu
