SECURED THE EIGHTEEN THOU
SAND DOLLAR JUDGMENT
AGAINST COL. PONY" MOORE.
The following letter speaks for it's
self:
Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 9th. 1907.
Mr.. Julius F. Taylor. Editor.
The Broad AK.
Chicago, Ill.
Dear Sir:
The Judgment which yJu recently
recovered against a:r. Moore. and my
signature TO the praecipe in the case,
puts me in an unprofessional light be-
fore the public. Recently. have been
acting as Mr.. Poney Moore's attorney
in matters not connected with your
case or matter Mr.. Moore and his
friends feel that have been acting in
a dual capacity as a lawyer. | knew
nothing of nv name being connected
with the praecipe. nor had any
kn"wledge whatever of the filing Of
the suit or the taking of a judgment
against Mr.. Moore. | desire you to
set me right before the public.
Very Respectfully.
r. NJ. MITCHELL.
In this connection We desire to say
that few DAYS prior to the time the
nraecipe was filed in our twenty thou
sand dollar damage suit against Col.
Pony" Moore, which was on or
about June l, 1906, at our request Col.
Mitchell accompanied us to the law Of
fees Of Col. A. d. Cash. in the Oxford
Building. for the purpose of consult
ing with Col. Cash and James H.
Hooper as to the ACCESSIBILITY Of in
GLIDING Justice Willis Melville and
Little Ed. Wilson in the suit.
Col. Mitchell was of the opinion
that both Melville and Wilson. was
as deep in the mire in endeavoring
to ruin our business standing and
reputation as Col. Pony" Moore. and
that it would be no trouble to stick
them.
Attorneys Cash and Hooper held
the opposite view, they contending
that Moore" simply used Melville
and Wilson as instruments to enable
him to land us, and with the hope
that Col Mitchell would be able to
swing Messrs. Cash and Hooper
around to his and our way of think.
ing, at our request his name was
placed on the praecipe.
But We want to say right now that
Mr.. Mitchell was never consulted any
further on the case as at that time nc
one expected that the case would be
reached for two or three years and IL
was our intention to consult with Col
Mitchell about the case later on.
Therefore we want to say for all
time to come that at the time the
Judgment was entered up against Col.
Pony" Moore, in Judge Gibbons
Court, Jan. IL, We had not been in
Mr.. Mitchell's ONCE for almost two
months prior to that time nor con.

WITH PRACTICAL GENEROSITY.

For some time past, corporations
and great fiduciary institutions-al
organizations controlling or holding
vast sums of money-have been the
chief objects of public attention
Honest men have welcomed this man.
.ifestation of public interest in the
problems created by modern methods
of conducting enormous enterprises
Clear headed men realize at the same
time that some Of the institutions
made prominent by their far reaching
operations and intimate relations with
the public, are conducted by men of
the highest integrity and are perform
ing a public service of incalculable
value.
The great Metropolitan Life Insur-
ance company, of New York, is coming
more and more to be recognized as an
institution whose attitude toward the
public is nearer to that of generous
philanthrOpiSt than an oppressive cap
italist This company conducts the
business of insurance in way that
can be understood by the ordinary cit
izen. 1t estimates in the light of uni
versal experience and expert knowl-
edge the actual cost of insuring life
under given conditions. exacts a legi-
innate premium based upon cost,
writes policy as definite and clear as
the simplest business contract. and
then pays every dollar the beneficiary
expects or hopes to receive.
1t has been made known in the lat
est published statements Of theMetro-
politan Life that all full-life policy
holders in the Industrial department
who reached the age of IS in 1906. and
all who reach that age in 1907, are to
have their policies continued for life
without further payment of premiums.
1t is further provided that any one
holding a full-life industrial policy
which has been in force Is years will
at the age of 80 receive the amount of
the policy in cash.
Perhaps no former act of this COM
pany is so significant as this volun-
tary generosity toward aged policy
holders from whom it can expect no
compensating relations in the future.
1t is stated that this concession alone
costs the company more than a mil
lion dollars. Any similar gift (for it
is purely a voluntary gift) by an indi-
vidual would cause the donor to be
widely proclaimed as leader in phil
anthropical work 1t should not 60

their younger policy holders, and have
taken the shape of voluntary cash di-
vidends upon industrial policies-divi-
dends not promised nor implied in the
policies, not bargained for, hoped for
or expected by those who receive them
This is an item of something like two

GIRL C0NfESSES Theft:
STOLE TO HELP BROTHER

PITTSBURG, Pa, April 1.-Nellie
Smith, aged Is years, was held in $500
bail today by the United States au-
thorities. Nellie was captured in AL
toona yesterday She had paid a
weeks rent for a hotel room and had
81 left
Nellie was cashier in a drug store
in the east end which is also a postai
substation. Two Italians recently
bought money orders for $25 each, but
the orders never reached their destin-
alton. Suspicion was directed toward
the girl clerk, but the accounts ap-
parently were correct. Later the post
office officials became more certain
Nellie was the guilty person. An
other examination of the accounts
when she was absent showed a dis
crerancy of several hundred dollars
About this time Nellie disappeared
Several days before she was located
in Altoona. At first she was disposed
to deny her guilt, but finally admit
ted 1t. and said she had taken the
money to help her brother, who is
in Jail in Wichita, Kas Why he is
in Jail she will not tell. The girls
brother-in-law went on her bond and
she was not sent to Jail.

lobbyist to represent it at Washington
fearing that the enforcement OF the
pure food laws may prove fatal 10 the
dining car business. That is partial
admission of the need of government
al regulation of dining cars.
Travellers have suspected at times
that the perishable foods served in
dining cars, other than fruits, were
preserved by chemicals. II there Is any
ground for the suspicion 1t is time the
practice was stopped. There is moth
ing about the motion of a railroad
train which makes drugs any less in
furious there than in hotel. the arg
ument that a passenger is not on
train long enough to be injured by the
minute quantity of preservants which
he absorbs is not applicable to the
thousands of men whose business COM
pels them to spend large part OF their
time in travelling. Many commercial
travellers eat more meals on trains and
in railway restaurants under the same
management than they do in their own
homes.
It is just as easy to carry ice in a
dining car as it is to put it in a hotel
refrigerator. 1t is not necessary to
carry large stock of milk or anything
else on one run, as it is always pos
sible to replenish the stock If careful
calculations of the amount needed
prove erroneous. A large part of the
soups and cold meats are canned, but
at the prices paid travellers are entitled
to the best quality, and under the new
law it is always possible for the dining
cars to be provided with pure food.
To gain public confidence the dining
car superintendent ought to call back
their lobbyist and advertise on every
railway folder and every bill of fare
used the fact that all articles served
are guaranteed to be prepared in con-
formity with the laws of the United
States and are free from anything in
furious. 1t will pay them much bet
ter than to wriggle away from the law
and thereby suggest their lack of in
nocence. 1t does not necessarily fol-
low that their goods are bad because
they do not want them investigated,
but they must confess that it is suspi-
cious.

NEW ROLLER SKATING RINK OPENS
WITH IMMENSE CROWDS ATTENDING

Four hundred devotees Of the roller
skating rage raced about the magnifi-
cent floor of Pavilion skating rink and
tasted to the fullest the pleasure of
ample floor space.
A smile of satisfaction lit up the
faces of those who were fortunate
enough to be among the first 400 and
so were able to get skates. Hundreds
were turned away without skates Sat-
uday and Sunday evenings.
1t is the purpose of the management
to rent out only 400 skates an evening
so that all will have plenty of room
and there will be no danger of acct
dents which might result from an over
crowded floor.
