Jay Gould's Cool Self Possession Under

Jay Gould's Cool Self Possession Under
Trying Circumstances.
All anecdote strongly illustrating the
cool self possession of the late Jay
Gould under the most trying circum-
stances was recently related BY a mem
Der of the family 55s
An old friend had gone to Gould, tell.
ing him that he had managed to save
up some SIC, 1000 and asking his advice
as to how he should invest it in such
manner as to be absolutely safe for
the benefit of his family. Gould told
him to invest it in a certain stock and
assured him that the Investment would
be absolutely safe as to income and,
besides, sits market value would short
" be greatly enhanced.
Is The man did as advised by Gould.
and the stock, promptly started to go
down. Lower and lower It went, and.
seeing the steady depreciation In the.
price Of the stock and hearing stories
to the effect that the dividends were
to be passed, the man wrote to Gould
asking If the Investment was still good.
Gould replied to his friends letter, as
surfing him that the stories had no
foundation in fact and were being cir
culated purely for market effect.
But still the stock declined. Each:
day the price went to new lower fg-
ures on the Stock Exchange, and final
~ the rumors became fact, and the di-
rectors passed the dividend. The man
had seen the savings Of years vanish
In q few months and realized that he
was q ruined man. s5s
Goaded to an almost insane frenzy,
he rushed into Gould 81 Office the after
noon the directors announced the pass,
ing Of the dividend and told Gould that
he had been deliberately and grossly
deceived and TINT he was ruined He
wound up by announcing his intention
OF shooting Gould then and there.
Gould heard his qnondam friend
through There could She no mistak-
ing the mans intent. He was evident
~ half crazed and possessed Of an In
sane desire to carry out his threat.
Gould turned to him and said:

credit. sold out your stock some
time ago, but had neglected to notify
you. /" The man locked at him in
amazement and, half doubling, left the.
Office. ss5ii5
AS soon as he had left the Office
Gould sent word to his bank to place
$4,000 TO this mans credit. The man
spent q sleepless night, torn BY doubts
and fears. When the bank opened for
business, he was the first man IN line
and was nearly overcome when the
cashier handed him the sum that Gould
had named the previous afternoon.
Gould had evidently decided In his
own mind that the man was deter
mined to kill him and that the only
way to save his life and his name was
to pay the man the sum he had lost
plus profit In the manner he did. But

CITIZENS VIOLATED AN lNJlJNc.
TloNAL ORDER OF III & oURT
WARD COUNTY TOWN
IN CONTEMPT

Minot, N. D., May There are
many ways Of securing postoffice
for township, but 1t remained for
the good people Of Kermit in this
county to establish a precedent, and
thereby get themselves into peck
of trouble. 1t remains for Judge
Goss to say just how much trouble
the enthusiastic people of Kermit
have taken upon themselves, and for
the purpose Of determining the
judge will conduct a hearing in the
district court in this city where
residents Of Kermit and Noonan
townships will appear and make
known the different aspects of most
Interesting controversy.
The specific charge against the
citizens Of Kermit township is con-
tempt Of cortland the specific act is
the violation of an injunctional or
der of Judge Goss which prohibited
the carrying on of an election for
the purpose of determining whether
or not certain additional strip Of
land should be included within the
limits of the township. The real
purpose of the election, however, ac-
cording to the belief of the residents
of Noonan, was the capturing of the
postof1ce which has long been locat-
ed within the limits of the township
of Noonan.
THE Kermit people framed up a
plan whereby they were to steal a
part of Noonan township, said a
resident of Noonan last night, "but
they neglected to include in the
strip Of land they proposed to steal
any of the residences Of the electors
Of our township, thereby leaving us
without representatio p
The Noonan people, convinced OF
a plot to steal their postoffice, OPP
posed the election, and several days
ago Judge Goss issued an order re-
straining their neighbors from carry
ing on the proposed election. "A spec
ial officer was dispatched to serve the
papers, but the election was not stop
ped. In fact, it is claimed that the
order of the court was overlooked,
like the proverbial white chip. For
this overt act the residents of Ker-
NIT township must make an explain
alton before Judge Goss. s5s.
The only claim that Noonan peo-
pie have to the postoffice is the fact
THAT the township is named after a
man who was the father OF eight
boys. explained the resident Of Ker-
init township last night. "They think
the president will stand with them
because of his well known anti-race
suicide theories ? .5s g ss .s3
THE Kermit people named their
township after the presidents son
simply for epolicy's sake explained
a resident Of Noonan township
They thought by so doing they
might gain some influence in this
postoffice matter
| In the meantime public opinion is
divided and there are those who be-
lieVe that Hotel de Lee in this city
| will receive a bunch Of star boarders
within the next few days by order
of Judge Goss. .s..

AGE WAS NO
BAR TO SPANKING
PAULINE LAW, THlRTY-FivE, HAS
ONE ADMINISTERED IN OLD
FASHION WAY.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Oct. 15.-Paullne
Law, aged thirty-ive, was spanked IN
the good old-fashioned way by her
father, William, aged sixty-one, at ner
home on Friendship avenue, when she
came home after 1 o'clock last night
The old gentleman placed her across
his knee, just as he did in oygone
wears. and administered slipper.
This was the story told by Pauline
today before Alderman Kirby. She
had brought suit against her father
for assault and the latter appeared to
tell his side of the story, which was
to the effect that he would not let
any "gal" of his gallayant around the
streets until after midnight, on mat
ter how old she was.
Alderman Kirby administered q re-
buke to the woman and made her pay
the costs. He said: "Just so long az
you remain under your fathers ROOT
he hes the right to chastise you when
you deserve 1t. Mr.. Law, your father,
is discharged from custody"

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 16.-Since
the indictment and arrest of Joseph
w. Dillin. late Surveyor of Customs
for the alleged embezzlement of the
Governments funds, 1t is stated that
a thorough investigation of his term
while Surveyor will more than likely
be made.
AS the offense set forth in the in
dictment is alleged to have been com
mitted during the last days of his
term, and as he held the office for
more than eight consecutive years, the
investigation will be conducted with
a view to ascertain If any other al
legged Irregularities exist in the once
It was impossible for the grand jury
to make a searching examination OF
the affairs of the office, since thor
ough inspection of the records cover
ing that period of time would require
their exclusive attention from at least
thirty to sixty days, consequently the
grand jury was able to act only on the
evidence furnished to them by the
District Attorney, who merely gave
his attention to the specific transac'
ton which the Treasury Department
instructed him to investigate.
The grand jury finished its work for
the present term and adjournment
Tuesday at noon. II is subject, how,
ever, to call by the District Attorney
whenever anything arises that in his
Judgment deserves his attention.

BRYAN OPPOSES
ROOSEVELT PLAN
DOES NOT APPROVE SUGGESTION
or NATIONAL CHARTER
or RAILROADS.
says The President Wants to Get
Government Away From
People.

CINCINNATI. o.. Oct 11.-opposi-
ton to President ROosevelt's sugges-
ton OF national incorporation Of rail-
roads was declared in an iterView
here today BY William J. Bryan. Mr..
Bryan said:
The national incorporation Of rail-
roads as proposed by President Roose-
Welt is the most far-reaching step for
centralixation proposed in this coun-
try since Hamilton submitted his plan
of government Hamilton provided
for q President and Senators to be
elected for life and for the appoint
ment of State Governors by the Ma
tionaI Government to serve for life
The Presidents plan contemplates ma
tional incorporation of railroads and
other corporations doing an interstate
business. The result would be TO ex
tend greatly the power Of the general
Government and proportionately re
duce the authority OF the States.
THE President is no doubt actuated
by the same sincere motives that Ham
ilton was, but, like Hamilton, he
seems to believe that the further we
get government away from the people
the better it is. l am satisfied his
plan will not be accepted. In fact two
official bodies have recently taken the
other side. The Attorneys General at
st. Louis prepared a memorial asking
for restriction Of the jurisdiction Of
the lower Federal courts, and this
mornings papers report that the State
Railroad Commissioners have ez-
pressed opposition to national incor-
poration."

HARTMAN ROAD
GAVE REBATES
POSITIVE EVIDENCE or LAW
VIOLATION ~ DISCOVERED
AT SAN FRANCISCO.
Refund In Way Of Rebatss Was Over
Tive Hundred Thousand
On Year.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 15.-That re
bates on charges for shipments Of
freight have been paid By at least one
great railroad system since the enact
ment OF the Hepburn rate act, was as
certained definitely by Commissioner
Franklin K. Lane. Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, on bis recent
trip to the Pacific Coast. The offend
ing line is the Southern Pacific, con-
trolled and practically owned by Ed
ward H. Hartman,
The evidence Of this violation Of the
Law was adduced at hearing before
Commissioner Lane, acting for the
Cimmisson, In San Francisco. II
was developed that some rebates had
been paid on interstate shipments
of freight, but that the bulk Of them
were paid on intrastate shipments. II
was admitted by officers of the Com
pany on the witness stand that the
Southern Pacific had a regularly or
ganized system covering State bust
ness from one end of California TO the
other.
Although the Company's counsel re-
sisted Commissioner Lanes demand
for the books showing the character
and extent of rebating, they finally
were disclosed. The disclosures from
them settled the matter definitely
The evidence showed that the re-
fund of money in rebates during the
past year aggregated about 100000.
Many of the items on which the re-
bates were paid were Interstate ship
ments. These inside rates" were
given by the Southern Pacific to fav-
ored shippers.
