Girl Had Running Sores From Eczc'
ma-Boy Tortured by Poison Guk
-Rotb Cured by Cuticura

"Last year, after having my little girl
treated by a very prominent physician for
an obstinate case of eczema. resorted to
the Cuticura Remedies, and was so well
pleased with the almost instantaneous re-
lief afforded that we discarded the physi-
Clans prescription and relied entirely on
the Cuticlira Soap. Cuticura Ointment and
Cuticura Pills. When we commenced with
the Cuticlra Remedies her feet and limbs
were covered with running sores. In about
six weeks we had her completely well, and
there has been no recurrence of the
trouble.
"In July of this year little boy in our
family poisoned his hands and arms with
poison oak, and in twenty-four hours his
hands and arms were mass of tortaring
sores. we used only the Cuticura Rene
dies, and in about three weeks his hands
aud arms healed up. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent

R. C. Flower Has Been a Fugitive
Since 1908.

PHILADELPHIA, January 5--DetectiVes
late yesterday afternoon arrested r. C.
Flower. alias C. G. Dalney, In the Girard
Trust Building, upon a warrant issued In
New York. Flower it is alleged in the war
rant. has been fugitive from justice since
1903 He left, it is said, under bail to the
amount of $40 900, which has been increased
to more than s150,O0O. Flower was locked
I'D in the city hall and will be held for
reguisition
Flower was arrested in a room in which
he had a desk and where he claimed to con-
duct the business of manufacturing bricks,
diamonds and rubies.' He is charged with
swfndling at least 1000 persons of more
than S1.O90,U10 by means of mining
scheme. He is known in Philadelphia as
Professor Oxford. The prisoner is we'll
educated man and graduate of leading
college.
The arrest of Flower ends chase by the
detectives and postal authorities that car
ried them through Mexico, Central America.
part of South America and Canada, besides
many points in the United States. Follow
ing his operations in New York. through
which it is said by the detectives, many
society women lost money. Flower jumped
bail after indictment in May, 1908.
He was traced to Mexico City, Central
America, Brazil. Montreal. Passaic and
Paterson, n. j., and finally to this city.

the name of Dalney. He disappeared just
when the detectives thought they had him,
as he had done In previous instances. He
was finally located through messages sent
to one of his sons and an intercepted tele-
phone message.
When the detectives eventually ran him
down they found that he changed in
appearance that they could scarcely recog-
nZe him. AS Professor Oxford, he was ap-
parently benevolent old gentleman, who
wore a long white beard. and though the
detectives had photographs of him they
were afraid they had made mistake and
kept him under surveillance for several
days before they were willing to make the
arrest. When he was taken into custody
he denied being the missing DIR, Flower,
but after being placed in cell at the CEN
trail station admitted his identity.
No complaints have been received by the
from any one who has fallen a victim to
his wiles here.

UPPER MARLBORO. Md,

Special Correspondence of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO Md.
January s. 1907
Judge Merrick of the circuit court for
Prince George county, has handed down his
opinion in the of Mary Smith and
others, property owners against the coun-
Gil of Hyattsville, giving the reason upon
which his decision against the town was
rendered several days ago This decision
held that the mayor and common council
could not lay sidewalks in Hyattsville and
assess the entire cost thereof against
abutting property owners.
'It is only a question of law where the
meaning of the language Is doubtful" the
court explained. land 1t should always have
the least hurtful construction. and 1t would
seem to the court less hurtful for the cor
porate authorities to wait for awhile. than
to unjustly burden the citizen. The rights
of the citizens are very sacred and doubtful
burdens should never be forced upon lnem.
Under this act it would seem that the
mayor and common council are only au-
thorized to construct sidewalks where. on
any of the streets, they determine that
such walks are necessary for the public
benefit. and the town must pay the cost of
same"

EXPENSIVE TERMINAL.
improvements Will Cost as Much as
Bridge Itself.

NEW YORK January 5.-Terminal i'm
provemcnts at the Brooklyn bridge will
cost nearly as much as the bridge itself, if
present plans are carried out. Not long ago
the board Of estimate authorized the con-
demnation of the Staats-Zeitung building
and other property near Park row for the
proposed new terminal at an estimated cost
OF more than S6.0OO.000. and today the
bridge department called on the board for
an appropriation of IS, 250, 900 more with
which to build underground loops and train
platforms TO complete the terminal.
Another S4GUOOOo or SJ,0O00oo, ii is
expected. will be spent to erect buildings
on the same site. that the Brooklyn
bridge Improvement in the end will cost
in the neighborhood of S1i,O00OOO or SIS
100000. This is about at much as the
whole bridge cost.
Nothing was done with the plans submit
ted by the bridge department, as Con-
troller Metz and one of the engineers
wished to examine them carefully The
matter will come up and probably receive
favorable action at next weeks meeting of
the board.
Accompanying the plans. Bridge Commits
sioner James w. Stevenson submitted a
letter urging their adoption and asking for
the appropriation of So. 10000
When the station proposed is COM
pleted II will be possible TO run trains on
the bridge at the rate of fifteen miles an
hour, on a Roadway of forty-five seconds
thus increasing the capacity of the bridge
during rush hours about % per cent.

CAVE-IN RESULTS IN BIG LOSS OF
LIFE IN GERMANY.

BINGEN. Hesse, January 5.-Forty-three
workmen were buried yesterday evening in
the cutting of a new railway line between
Lamscheid and Leiningen The dead bodies
of thirteen of the men and fifteen injured
workmen have been recovered.
An embankment collapsed, burying two
men. To rescue them large parties Of
other laborers employed along the line
We're Immediately set to work, and a wide
pit was dug, in which We're about fifty men
when the overhanging hillside fell, burying
forty of the laborers under masses of earth
Those who were not buried began to dig
out their comrades, while messengers were
sent to nearby villages asking for help.
Several physicians and large force Of
workmen We're sent to the scene of the
disaster from Boppard and other towns
The rescue work. which was continued
throughout the night, was dangerous owing
to the possibility of fresh masses of earth
falling on the laborers. Most of the work.
men killed were young men. Among the
injured are three children. 1t is probable
that there are still fifteen bodies beneath
the fallen earth.

BAD FOR RAILROADS,
Startling Demands May Result From
Chicago Conference,

CHICAGO, January 5-Railway managers
of roads throughout the country are facing
fresh demands for an increase in wages and
better working conditions that will startIe.
it is declared. the entire industrial world.
conference OF labor leaders, representing
nearly all classes of railroad labor. is in
session in Chicago to initiate the move. A
universal eight-hour day and a wage in
crease of from ) to 30 per cent are the
demands that VIII be brought to the atten-
ton of the general managers of not only
the twenty three systems centerng in Chi
cago, but on nearly all the roads in the
United States Canada and Mexico
The committee, representing 100 600 rail-
way employees, is composed of A. B. Car
retson, grand chief Of the railway con-
ductors; ]. J. Hannahan of the locomotive
firemen and P. NJ Morrissey chief of the
Brotherhood of Railway Tranmen These
men arrived in Chicago today and immedi-
ately went into executive session.
The conference, it was said. came as a
shock to railway officials in the city, who
are already listening to the arguments of
locomotive engineers for a greater increase
in pay. The fresh demands follow negotia-
tons between the roads and the switch
men. who We're granted an increase
amounting to ID per cent, in conferences
held in Chicago in November.
Many roads throughout the country vol
unfairly raised the pay of their employees
and millions of dollars were added to the
pdyTOllS VI the IOdu by the aQQltlOnal aQ
vances in wages.
Agitation for the eight-hour day. it was
understood, to be left to future discus
sion. The law. it was declared, would prove
impossible of enforcement under present
conditions This fresh demand for it has
caused great surprise, as the managers of
many roads considered the fact understood
by the men. Rumors of strikes also fol-
lowed the announcement of the purpose of
the conference. 1t was limited that the
road employees on all the lines Of the coun-
try are earnest in their demands for
shorter workday. and that strikes may fol-
low refusal of the railroads to accede to
their requests.

who are out on strike mentioned in

situation regarding the Burlington and the
Rock Island roads was acute and that la
