RAILROAD WAR AVERTED.
Mediation Brings About Sett1emeI

Mediation Brings About Settlement
TIVE Roads and Men.
Government mediation has proven
successful in preventing the long threat
ening strike of trainmen on forty-two
big Western railroads, affecting 514,00O
employees. and e%ndangering the COM
merce of the entire country west of
Chicago. 1t is the first time the Erd-
mann arbitration act has been called
into play, and it has proved a sue
cess.
Through the good offices of Chairman
Martin A. Knapp of the Interstate Com
merce Commission and Charles p.
Neill, United States Commissioner Of
Labor, the General Managers Commit
tee of the railroads and the Employees
Committee, representing the unions of
the trainnen and conductors, Thursday,
reached an agreement which removes
all possibility of the strike.
The general managers committee
granted a slight increase to fiagmen
and brakemen, and the employees made
all other concessions necessary to es-
tablish peace. The agreement goes into
effect as from April /. BY the offer OF
the managers committee made on Feb.
81, the employees receive an increase
amounting to $4,5OO.O0O annually. The
additional increase to the fagmen and
brakemen amounts to 100000 a year.
Had the men accepted the terms of the
managers committee, effective on
March /, they would have received
$4JG,0o0' additional on their March pay.
The principal terms Of settlement in
the threatened strike may be summar-
iZed as follows:
Increase in wages of passenger con-
ductors, $40 per month; baggagemen,
$3.50: fagmen and brakemen, $3.50.
Overtime in passenger service, on If
teen miles an hour basis, 80 tents an
hour for conductors, and % cents for
Engagement. fiagmen and brakemen.
Ten per cent increase for freight con-
ductors and braSemen.

andria, Lu.
A cyclone occurred at Alexandria,
La, Friday. in which at least twenty
persons were killed and more than 100
injured. The storm is reported to have
been one of the worst ever seen in that
section of the State and wrought APP
palling havoc. A great part of the
town is III ruins. Fifty houses have
been torn to bits and several stores and
factory buildings demolished. while
cores Of other buildings were badly
shattered. Alexandria is located near
the center OF the State II is an i'm
portant railroad and commercial city,
with Il population of about 1000.
y wide swath was cut by the cyclone
through the town, extending for miles
through Il rich and populOus farming
district. The damage to buildings and
crops will amount to millions. Ac-
corGing to reports the cyclone struck
the town about > o'clock in the morn
ing. 1t amc with scarcely Il warning
note. The sleeping citizens were
aroused by Il tremendous. terrifying
roar OF wind that vas scarcely heard
before it seemed to ill the whole air
of the town with Il deafening crash.
Houses topplcd down like cards OF

dltiOns and dropped many yards away
Il shapeless mass of timbers with their
occupants crushed in the ruins. Roofs
were torn off and went sailing through
the air like huge kites. Trees were
uprooted and tossed a hundred feet
into the air, and some of them were
carried miles away. The air was fill
ed with flying timbers and many per-
sons were struck by these as they
rushed from their lettering homes.
Men, women and children and animals
were caught up by the mighty current
of wind and some of them were carried
a block in the air. The storm was over
in i few minutes.

Christian Science Discussed.

In treating of the foundations on which
Christian Science teachings are based, the
Earl of Dunmore, a prominent Scotch
peer. in a recent issue Of the Cosmopolitan
Magazine, contends that Mrs. Eddy is
indebted entirely to the Bible for her
revelations, and that Christian Science is
simply a clear understanding of the prac-
ices of Jesus nearly 1000 years ago.
On the other hand. the editor of the
christian Advocate of New York City
contends that neither the Old Testament
nor the new agrees in any respect with
Mrs. Eddy's theories. He says that ev-
erywhere the Bible refers to health and
disease as conditions of the human body,
one as real as the other, with nc refer
ence anywhere to the idea that disease is

President Roosevelt cmphatically de-
MED the statement contained in Il let
ter published in New York p~urporting
to have been written by T.. II. Harri-
man to Sidney Webster of New York
in the latter part of December last. In
the letter the statement is made that
at the request of Roosevelt he IIarri-
MANI assisted in raising Il fund Of
$25O,OGO to be used in carrying New
York for the Republican party at the
election which was then approaching.
This statement the President charac-
teriZes as Il deliberate and wilful IN
truth-by right it should be character
lied by an even shorter and more ugly
word. l never requested Hartman to
raise Il dollar for the presidential cam
paign in 1904"

of the President, details We're given out
at the White House of the amazing
combine which the President says eX-
lists among the Hartman interests to
defeat any candidate for the presiden-
tial nomination who bears the indorse-
ment of Roosevelt. The President now
claims that not only his candidate for
the Presidency, but his policies, will be
attacked by h men. who have pledged
a $5,OOO,0OO fund to carry out their
scheme.

to talk about the report from Wash

been raised to prevent the nomination
for President of a mar of President
Roosevelt's choosing in 1908.

ROADS WOULD COST BILLIONS.
Could Assume Control,
but mt Great Price.

~ncnt Could Assume Control,
but at Great Price.
The growing interest in government
control and ownership of railroads has
led officials in, Washington 10 make some
estimates as to the cost and methods by
which such ends might be reached. Here
are some conclusions
1t will cost the government in the neigh
horhood of S16,244,008.8 900 to buy the
railroads. That is. this is the CONNER
cial value of the whole railway plant, in
Guiding terminals, depots and all appurte-
nances, as estimated by the United States
census.
The government has the constitutional
power now to assume control and owner
ship of the roads. This was demonstrate
ed in the case of the Panama road. where
the government condemned the stock and
paid a fair market value for it.
In order to buy the railway system Of
this country it is only necessary for the
government to appraise the property and
then to issue government securities in
exchange for the private securities now
standing against these properties.
There would be no real drain on the
United States treasury. The government
would simply start its printing presses
ana print the necessary Sio,Zf4.oVO,Uuo
worth of bonds; then these would be is
sued in exchange for the private securi-
ties, which would be destroyed. Any dis
pute as to valuation would be settled by
condemnation proceedings.
Then Congress would probably have to
create another cabinet officer, a Secretary
of Railways. He would run the railroadI

General runs the Postoffice Department
When Switzerland decided to take over
it's railroads a few years ago, the govern.
ment concluded to pay for them on the
basis of twenty-five times the average net
earnings for a period of twenty years
This was easily determined in that coun.
try, owing to the fact hat the accounts
of the railways had been under strict gov
ernmental supervision for that period.

Spirit Voice OF Death.

The alleged spirit messages from the
late DR.. Richard Hodgson to his living
friend and former cs-worker, Prof. Hys-
lop, through the m~ediumship of Mrs.
Piper of Boston, are described by DR..
Isaac Funk, the New York publisher, in
his book, '"The Psychic Riddle" DR..
Funk says the subject is one that should
not be scoffed at. The spirit of Hodgson
is believed to have talked to Mrs. Piper
while she was in the trance state and
wrote what was said on sheets of paper
in Hyslop's presence. One message says
ut is delightful to go through the cool
ethereal atmosphere and shake off the
mortal body" The spirit said further
that during his effort to communicate
to the living he felt as if in a stuffy at
mosphere or as if going Into a place of
foul smells. DR.. Funk believes that we
are in the presence of "a scientific dem
onstration of a future life" if Hyslop is
right about these messages being received.
He, Funk, has no doubt now that Sin
telligences foreign to our five senses can
and do communicate with some Of those
who are living in the flesh But he is
not certain that they can and do identi-
fly themselves as those who once lived in
the flesh"

CONSTANTINE is CAUGHT.
Slayer of Mrs. Gentry Taken
After Long Chase.

Alleged Slayer of Mrs. Gentry Taken
After Long Chase.
Accused of the murder of Mrs. Louise
Hughes Gentry, Frank Constantine adj
mitted to the New York police that he
is the man whom the Chicago authori-
ties have sought for fifteen months.
Since the murder of the woman on
Jan. 6, 1906, Constantine, who admits
he was with her at the time. Of her
death, has been a fugitive, fleeing from
the police first to Italy, then back to the
United States, to South America, and
back to the United States again. He
was about to embark for q second trip
to Italy when he was caught. He claims
the woman committed suicide and says
that he fed because he was afraid he
would be accused of the crime and
would be unable to prove his innocence.
The murder Of Mrs. Gentry was par
ticularly brutal, her head being almost
severed from her body by a razor
slash. Constantine had been a ledger
at the Gentry home several weeks. He
posed as a man of wealth. He said
hat he was the son of Frank J.. Con-
stantine, the wealthy real estate man
of New York. Mrs. Gentry had been
Miss Louise Hughes, an artist Of some
prominence. She had been married to
Gentry about one year. Once, it was
reported, she told the wife Of the jani-
tor that she was afraid she would be
killed. She gave no explanation for
this assertion.
After Constantine's disappearance a
number of suspects We're arrested in
different parts of the continent.

Thomas L. Little, the Democratic NOM
iEee, running Il shade behind Mayor
Dunno and losing to Mr.. McCabe by
1914.
The battle was waged and won with
the entire country and no small part
Of the world at large looking on with
intense interest and waiting the result
in suspense. The traction ordinances
carried in the election by nearly 10000.
A new charter for the city of Chicago
is assured.
Frederick A. Busse is the hrst execu-
tive of Chicago to be chosen for a term
of four years and likewise the first to
have the very profitable privilege of col
lecting $4,000 every twelve months for
his services. The issues between the Re-
publicans and the Democrats were as dis
tinctly drawn as widely differing plat
form declarations could make them. Chief
est of the contentious was traction. The
Republicans declared for the adoption of
the ordinances as passed by the City
Council over the veto of Mayor Dunno,
while the Democrats urged their defeat.
In 1902 Mr.. Busse was elected Treas
urer of Illinois and in December, 1905,
was commissioned as postmaster of Chi
cago by President Roosevelt. 1t is a
rather remarkable thing in the history of
mayoral campaigns in Chicago that the
Republican candidate made no speech Of
acceptance to the convention which nomi-
mated him, nor uttered a spoken word to
the electorate during the campaign. Bat
tered up in a wreck On the Pennsylvania
limited, which claimed the lives of a num-
Der of his fellow passengers, Candidate
Busse was lying in bed severely injured
when named as the standard bearer of his
party.

Prime Minister Sir Henry Campbell.
Bannerman contributes to the Nation,
the liberal weekly, an article on The
Hague conference, in which he refutes
the objections to raising the question OF
limitation of ornaments, c~ontending that
nothing has occurred since 1898 to render
inopportune or mischievous the reduction
of ornaments which was then recognized
as desirable. On the contrary, he says,
the passage Of years has only served to
strengthen the impression of 1898 that
the endless multiplication of engines Of
war is futile and self-defeating, and that
what was then a suspicion, that no limit
could be set to the struggle for sea pow
err save by the process of economic eH-
haustion, has now become something like

Examinations OF Metals.

Prof. Gruhn of Berlin has published de-
tails Of his latest experiments demonstrate
ing his theory that metals have character
istic smells, Notwithstanding that many
authorities have held that such bodies
are absolutely inodorous, inasmuch Al
they do not lose anything Of their own
weight. In the first experiment Herr
Gruhn shows that a piece of copper, tin
or other metal at all times gives of an
odor, but which most persons cannot de-
tect, but when the same pieces are heated
above a lamp they give Of readily dis
tinguishable smells. After the heating is
continued for an hour or SO the smell in
creases until equal to that in a cold state.
IF continued, the odor ceases to be appre-
cable. 1t is, therefore, inferred that the
vaporized matter is not identical with the
METAL itself.

Acety,ene Aids Plant Growth.

How Prof. John Craig of Cornell uni
versity, in a long series of experiments,
discovered that of artificial illuminants
none is so closely akin to sunlight as the
rays of acetylene gas, is reported by w.
T. Walsh in the April Technical World
magazine. BY using the illuminant at
all times when the sun was not on deck,
either at night or on cloudy days, Prof.
Craig forced the finest Strawberries to
maturity in sixteen days ahead of the
record, and radishes in three-fourths of
the usual time. without deterioration in
quality.
