Cravath contended that the Chicago
& Alton transaction had been mis-
understood by both the commission
and the public and he declared that
the proceedings followed was not
unusual in financial transactions.
Mr.. Loyett also gave some atten-
tion to the Chicago & Alton affair,
contending that the public had suf-
cred no loss on account of the meth
cd of recapitalization. With refer
ence to the Southern Pacific and I'm
ion Pacific roads he declared that
they were not competing lines but
argued that even If they were the
transaction, had not been illegal be-
cause the Southern Pacific had been
purchased outright by the Union Pa
cific, which was not in contraven-
tion of the constitution.
Mr.. Milburn said that a general
application Of the antitrust law to
the railroads of the country, as 1t
was proposed to apply it in the
Southern Pacific Union-Pacif deal,
would put every system upon the de-

John Kane, railroad man en-
ployed by the Milwaukee road, was
brought to st. Luke's hospital the
other day where he lies dying from
a gun shot wound inflicted by Law
renee Roach on February LIST.
The tragedy which was as unpro-
voked and dastardly as has ever oc-
CURED in the state was committed
in the store Of G. B. Williams at
Marvin, small town on the H. 6
D. Kane was at his home for visit
and one night number OF men were
at the store to spend the evening
when Roach entered, carrying a rifle
which he had been accustomed to
arm himself with for a number Of
years.
Kane had not seen him for a cou-
pie of years and called out a sa1u-
tation to him. Roach turned around
and asked him to whom he was
speaking and Kane replied that he
was talking to him.
Shoots Him
Roach hit Kane over the head with
the rife, but Kane thought it was
only in fun. However, Roach again
hit him with the gun and then he
drew back and shot Kane, the bull
let striking him in the hip and en-
tering the body.
The men in the store ran out when
Roach shot and Kane struggled with
his assailant for the possessio nof
the gun until his brother, who was
working nearby entered and took the
gun away and held Roach until an
officer arrived.
Death Will Come Soon
Kane for some time past has been
in a hospital at Milbank but as he
grew worse it was decided to bring
him to this city. However, nothing
can be done for him and his death
is only a question of a few days. The
bullet. penetrated the bowels and
lodged in the caelum setting up in

Kane is a single man about TWEEN

not particularly because of the effect
in this case.
Thaw was not in court to hear the
decision. The jury which has heard
the testimony against him was also
excluded, and both the prisoner and
jurors were out of range of the dis
trict attorneys heated discussion
with Justice Fitzgerald. All the
members of the Thaw family, includ-
ing the mother and wife of the de-
8fendant were present, however, and
their keen, delight over the announce
ment of the favorable report from
the lunacy commission was turned
into alarm at the unexpected atti-
tude of the district attorney, whose
threat to take the matter before the
appellate division of the supreme
court, seemed to involve another Sc
rious delay in the long drawn out
trial.
Thaw Pleased
.
The news of the commissions un-
animous verdict as to his present
sanity was carried to Thaw in the
prisoners cell at the Tombs. He ex-
pressed satisfaction but not surprise.
There has never been time since
the commission was appointed that
the defendant has not been wholly
confident of a favorable decision. He
declared yesterday that he felt es-
,peeiaiiSSi lucky lucky because It was the
second anniversary of his marriage.
