The way Jay Gould Brousht an FL.
peeas Company TO Terms.

me way Jay Gould brought an III.
press Company TO Terms.
Recalling early days in the express
business, m ofieer OF one Of the largest
companies told this story of Jay Gould:
"Gould and Fisk then had hold OF
the Htie.. he said. ''and the United
States Express company had all the
express business on the road. The con.
tract was about TO expire. and Gould
wanted m arrangement more proata.
bic 10 the Erie.
The Fries doing all the work and
you're making all the money Gould
said 10 the express people. You ought
to do some OF the work and give the
railroad a chance at the money
Tho express company officials de-
INJURED. Their profit. they insisted,
was no more than hey were entitled
to- and they refused to shade the con-
tract penny. Gould insisted ON dos
crease, but they remained obdufatb
and eventually let the Erie president
understand-what he very well knew
that no other company would compete
against the United States for the Erie
business. All tho companies ut tbat
dmc were in an agreement to maintain
rates.
"'All right said Gould at tho eonelu-
sion of the interview, you've no obiec-
ton. ! guess, to my going into the ex-
press business :or myself. II looks
better than rallroadlng.'
THE express people replied thae
Gould could organize all the companies
no wanted 10. They thought II was all
blum, but things that came to their at.
tention soon weakened their faith In
this Idea. Could was going around
among his associates talking up m ex.
press company scheme. oficials OF 9TH
er roads were told that new company
would be in tho field to bid for their
business. and the papers began to talk
about the new Gould express company.
The express officials. however. saw
none OF Gould's money going into the
enterprise and stood pat Presently II
was reported that he had bought twep-
ty.four big express safes. Was this
talk or was II buslnessf the EXPRESS
men asked themselves. They set to
work Investigating. and they Discovers
cd that the report was true. Gould had
actually bought and paid for the safep

and he was negotiating for all the 9th.
Or equipment required.
Now, thoroughly convinced ee
Gould's sincerity. the express company
came to terms. Gould got the best con.
tract from railroad standpoint that
had been known up to that time. Tho
clause in the contract that the United
States Express company considered
most valuable to itself was one stipn.
lating the abandonment OF Gould,s ex.
press plans.
ut was ali blum on Gould's part
except buying the safes. For that mat.
ter the purchase was, OF course, part AZ
the blur. but Gould had actually
bought and paid for them uneondItion.

officials he persuaded them they could

and. the galleries were crowded with
ladies' whose presence added note
of color to the scene.
Immediately after President Nelidoff
had taken his seat in the presidential
chair the minutes of the second plen-
airy session were read by the secre-
tary and approved. Then M. Nelidoff,
IN short speech, summarized the
work of the conference. He expressed
satisfaction with the results already
attained and set forth what remained
to be done, adding that he hoped the
second period of the conference would
be as fruitful as the first
After this speech the committee en-
trusted with the examination of adj
dresses, petitions, ETC., presented a
long report containing all the docu-
ments received from societies, relig-
ious institutions, collective bodies,
etc., reserving to another sitting the
communication of similar documents
received from private individuals.

Arguments Are Anticipated.

He repeatedly anticipated the prob
able argument OF counsel for the de-
Tense, which he said would be direct
ed toward exciting hatred against
some persons connected with the
prosecution. you will, . he said,
hear charges brought against the
murdered governor who did his duty,
no more, no less. when he established
order in the Occur d'Alenes and called
out soldiers wearing the uniform Of
the United States army to insure
peace
Mr.. Hawley said that the state ex-
pected Easterly and Davis and Cop
ley and Haywood and Meyer to swear
that they had nothing to do with any
of the crimes charged against them.
He said he did not blame them for
perjuring themselves when they were
charged with great crime
Turning to Colorado, the counsel
referred to the evidence of Thomas
Moore, who sWore for the defense in
their showing that the explosion at
the indicator mine was due to an
accident The killing Of Mccormick
and the accident at the indicator he
referred TO as a heinous crime, but
said a more awful crime was contenl-
plated because the Intention was to
blow whole carload Of nonunion
men to eternity without warning.
Mr. HaWley produced a plan of the
mine and with a pointed cane showed
the errors in Woods testimony He
brought out photographs to show that
the conditions Wood described were
noneaistent and finally he showed to
the jury the pieces of the pistol which
Wood said Buck carried in his pocket
Throughout Mr.. Hawley's argument
he repeatedly asked the jury to look
for motive for Orchards crime or
motive for any of the crimes other
than that of revenge or a determine
ton on the part OF the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners to terrorize all who
opposed them.

Scores Injured.

In addition to the rs to 100 people
who were severely injured, there are
scores more who were cut and bruised
by being thrown about in the unin-
jured cars when the trains collided.
Nearly every person in the first half
dozen coaches needed some medical
attention. The most severely hurt
were first looked after by the sur
geons. Their wounds were hastily
dressed and hemorrhages stopped,
after which they were carried to the
Wrecking train from Detroit and laid
on cots to be brought to Detroit hos
pitfalls for further treatment.
