BOSTON, Mass, Sept. 1s.-J. T,
Trowbridge, the well-known author
and poet, observed his s0th birthday
very quietly today at his home in
Arlington. Mr.. Trowbridge is still
strong and active and in excellent
health. He has been at home almost

to constant exercise.
Mr. Trowbridge is the last survivor
of the famous Atlantic club and the
last one of the contributors to the first
issue of the Atlantic Monthly. In his
earlier years he enjoyed intimate rela-
tons with many great figures of the
greatest period in American literature,
among them Walt Whitman, Longfel-
low, Emerson, Lowell and Holmes, OF
the SO books Mr.. Trowbridge has writ
ten all are alive, and his boys books
have had new editions each year. Al
present he is not engaged in any spe-
cia1 writing, taking up the pen only
when the spirit moves" as he puts i

n. P. VIOLATES
STOCK LAW
Allegations to That Effect
Will Bring Company
Into Court

Complaints have been issued against
the Northern Pacific company for vio-
lating the stock shipping law which
provides a penalty for keeping live
stock in cars more than rs hours with
out food, water and rest. Two com
plants have been filed on shipments
made out of the Clearwater country
and United States Stock Inspector c.
L. Henderson is now in that section
securing witnesses for the prosecution
The cases have been set for trial in
the federal court at Spokane on Sept
20, at which time it is expected the
government will be ready to proceed
with the prosecution.
1t is alleged in the complaint that
upon one occasion a shipment of stock
was kept in the cars 81 hours without
food and water and it is the purpose
Of the government to prosecute vigor'
ously any violation of the law regulat'
ing the shipment of stock.

STILL AFTER
The SOUTHERN
NMth Carolina at War
With Its Railroads on
Legal Rates

ASHEVVIIAE, N. c. Sept. L.
Whether suits for the recovery of dam
ages as penalties of the passenger rate
law can be pushed against the South
ern Railway company pending the trial
of the other actions pending will prob
ably he decided today at a hearing to
be given here by Judge Rritchard to
all the parties concerned
The hearing is on an application
made Fg the railroad company for an
injunction to prevent the prosecuta0n
of an action brought last week in the
superior court of AlamanQe county
against the North Carolina Railroad
co. for penalties fgr the sale Of tickets
al more than 2A cents mile. The
North Carolina Raslroad Co lis leased
by the Southern.
The plaiariffs in the suit take the
grannd that If North Carolina plain
tin sues a Eorth Carolina company
under a North Carolina statute the
federal court mas no jurisdiction. The
decision in the matter will probably
hinge on the question whether the
North Carolina railroad is an irtegra
part Of the SouElhern system.

WOULD BREAK

Virginia Congressman Says
Roosevelt Can Do the ii,
- Il.
Trick

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.--Repre-
sentative Campbell Slemp, the only re-
publican member of congress from
Virginia. who arrived in Washington
today, in speaking of the political sit
uation in that state, says:
Despite the fact that all the candi-
dates have numerous and enthusiastic
trends In Virginia, there is not much
doubt in my mind that Secretary Taft
will receive the vote of the delegation
from that state in the next republican
convention.
The republicans and a great many
democrats have but one candidate,
however, and ne is the president. They
want him to run again, and If he did, /
actually have reason to believe that
he would carry my state and split the
sold South. The people want him
again in order that he may carry his
own policies to a successful conclusion.
But if they cannot get him, they want
man whom they believe will do more
than any other candidate to carry out
these policies. That man is Secretary
Taft. The delegation that will repre-
sent the party in the convention next
year may not be instructed for him,
but it win be entirely favorable to him
and the administration.
II am not exaggerating when say
that Virginia might go republican II
President Roosevelt were dominated,
Conditions have changed in the state
Successful manufacturing industries
have built up greater desire for pro-
lection, and find little talk of a re-
vision of the tariff, even among the
democrats. Our party is in good shape
and If good candidates are put up I be-
lieye we will elect next year two more
republican members OF the house,

OF MURDER

PITTSBURG, Sept 1S.-Ludwig
Szczygiel, the Roman Catholic priest
from Chicago who has been on trial
for the murder of Andrew and Stephen
Starzynski, brothers, was convicted of
murder in the second degree by jury
which returned a verdict shortly be-
fore o'clock last night.
To protect himself from the ex-
treme penalty of the law, the priest
unburdened his past life, frankly con-
Tossing his many shortcomings, espe-
cially drunkenness, During his testi-
mony he admitted that Francesca
Sprow, his housekeeper was in the
house when the double murder was
committed, and had accompanied him
to this city from Chicago. 1t develop
ed that the housekeeper occupied the
same room with one of the Starznsk
brothers. Following this admission
District Attorney Goehring remarked
There you have the motive.''
! The priest said he supposed that I
was correct that he had killed tht
brothers, but that 1t was done in self
defense and that he was drunk at tht
time.

SECRET MAY
Die WITH HIM

TRINIDAD, Cola, Sept. 1S.-d'he Sc
cret of how to make a noiseless and
smokeless powder may be lost forever
and great anticipations shattered If the
mental collapse suffered by j. B. Pet
tingill al his home in Vancouver, B. c.,
proves permanent or results in death,
as feared.
Pettmgill is tthe inventor of this
powder, which has proved successful,
but which had not yet been generally
taken up by the mining concerns. Pet-
tingin is the promoter of the Trinidad
Noiseless and Smokeless Powder COM
pany of this city. He recently went to
his home in Vancouver, where he suf-
fered a mental collapse, due to hard
work
He is the only person alive who
knows the formula for making the new
powder, and II he dies, the secret will
go to the grave with him, as he has
never reduced it to writing.
This powder is now undergoing ex-
tensive tests in the mining districts
and is said to have met all the re-
qufrements of mine owners. The
powder, in addition to being practically
no1seless and smokeless, is only exp1o-
sfve under certain conditions, making
it ideal for mine developments.
