MILLIONAIRE STOLEN
By GIRL HELD INSANE

Lebanon, Ind, June 11.-Assailing the
theory that the morality standard for
men and women should be different,
Judge Artman has rendered q forceful
decision in the case of Millionaire
George Rhodius, who 1t was claimed a
while ago was kidnapped by Elma Dare
and later married to her when he did
not know what he was doing.
Rhodius and the Dare girl were
caught In the east at the behest OF
relatives Of the rich old man, and
brought back here. Judge Artman. rem
'dering his decision, said:
! Il have no sympathy whatever with
the theory that Rhodius' marriages to
Elma Dare Is, because Of her character,
an evidence of insanity.
For years they had been living to-
gether In moral pollution, and Ii the
marriage is really his act 1t does not
establish unsoundness OF mind. The
theory that George Rhodius, under such
circumstances, could or should have
settled down and procured for wife
a pure and virtuous woman instead OF
q woman of his own class, Is founded
upon a false and perverted notion OF
the proper ethics of human life.
"The theory that the woman n
must remain down and that he ::
must rise to higher grounds Of II:
society, is a delusion."
'''''''''''' '''''. =" ...".. '.......s.l
There never was a fallen woman
without a fallen man, and that proper
sense Of Justice should accord to her
the right Of rising with the man.
TT is my conclusion, however. that
Rhodius never married Eima Dare at
all, but that he was married to her
through the Vaccinations of an In-
dianapolis lawyer, an Indianapolis Of
hcer, the woman herself and the night
clerk at the Circle Park hotel" 3g
The judge held Rhodius OF unsound
mind and appointed James M. Berry
kill. OF indianapolis, as guardian.

RUEF'S APPEAL FOR
BAIL is REFUSED
SAN FRANcIsco's POLITICAL BOSS
THEN APPLIED TOTHE SUPREME
COURT ASKING FOR A WRIT OF
HABEAS CORPUS.

pectations of Assistant District Attorney
Honey is realized the impaneling of a
Jury to try Abraham Ruef for extortion
will be begun In Judge DUNES depart
ment of the superior court tomorrow.
While counsel for Ruef would not today
authorize the statement that they had
finally given up hope OF judicial inter-
ference in behalf of their client, and
would make no further effort to stay
Judge Dunno, 1t was admitted by ona
of the attorneys conducting his defense
that Ruef expects to go on trial tomor-
row morning.
Ruef's appeal for bail was today refused
by Judge Dunno and ne then applied for
this relief to the state supreme court,
asking there a writ of habeas corpus.
Chief Justice Beatty, however, said late
this evening to a representative of the
Associated Press:
ut is not likely action will be taken
in the matter before Thursday"
This contingency probably became
known to Ruef's attorneys for they applied
to Judge Ross of the United States
court of appeals for an identical writ:
but it is stated on good authority that
he refused to entertain the matter at all.

that 1t will certainly come, and will be
even more destructive than the panic of
1884. He declared II the preesnt railroad
agitation is kept up, all the railroads are
threatened with bankruptcy, and that in
1909 hundreds of thousands of men will
be thrown out of employment.
The great unrest In the financial world
President Stlckney said is not due to the
policy of President Roosevelt, but is
brought about by hostile legislation by the
various states.
President StclSney commended that the
only solution of the railroad problem Is
to grant all the power to regulate the
roads to the federal government.

II thank you for your kind and
prompt attention to my request. Passage
of bill for submission to voters of Cal
ifornia whether Japanese laborers shall
be excluded, would interfere with my
plans and make more difficult for me TO
accomplish through this national govern
ment what I am trying to do in the way
of Japanese labor exclusion. The as
sumption of power by the voters of Cal
ifornia to settle this question, if assented
to by the national government, would
Immediately close all my negotiations
with Japan for friendly adjustment, be-
cause to negotiate a settlement we must
have power to settle, while on the other
hand California can not negotiate treaty
under the constitution.
:" 1t is, however, perfectly clear that
under the constitution only the national
government can settle the question of ex-
clusion, and such a vote of California,
as is proposed would have to be treated
as entirely nugatory, while it would
probably be regarded by those opposed
to exclusion as an attempt to ignore
the constitutional power of the United
States and exclude japanese in defiance
of their treaty rights to come in.
? - Il earnestly deprecate the passage OF
any legislation affecting the Japanese.
The national government now has the
matter in hand and can in all probability
secure the results that California desires
while at the same time preserving I'M
broken the friendly relations between the
United States and Japan.
q L have the interest of California most
deeply at heart. L shall strive to ac-
conplish for California, as for other great
states or sections of the country, every
thing that can conserve it's honor and
its interests Any such action as that
you mention would merely hamper the
national government in the effort to Sc
cure for California what only the national
government can secure.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT
II understand that 1t Is not the inten-
ton of the legislature to pass at this
session any measure whatever affecting
the Japanese. I believe this to be excel
lent judgment ON the part of the legisla-
ture, because to do SO might interfere
with and hamper the national govern
ment in making the proper treaties witt,
Japan and bringing about the result
which California desire-to-wit: Japanese
exclusion.
81 forward this message of the Pres
ident to you because 1 desire that you
shall know before adjourning the views
entertained by him at this time upon
this all-important question:

WITH cHISOLM'S ALLEGED
SPECULATIONS.

New Orleans March 12.-Seeking to re-

tional bank of Birmingham, Ala. today

never returned to the bank. Chisolm
restored about $4,000 to the bank and the
SOL $50 is the balance which the bank

WANTS GOVERNMENT
TO TAKE HIS ROAD
j. J. HILL SAYS 1T WOULD HAVE A
WHITE ELEPHANT ON HANDS.
GREAT NORTHERN WORTH $780,.
600 PER MILE.

Minneapolis, Mimi. March 12-President
James j. Hill of the Great Northern rail-
road before the Sunbery legislative COM
mittee today declared without qualifica-
ito. that he would be only too willing to
have the United States government take
over his road. He stated further in his
testimony that If the government should
go into the railroad business 1t would be
nothing short of lottery and the coun-
try would. as matter of fact, have an
elephant on its lends
Then" he said, ''the government would
be obliged to engage in another lottery
to get rid of the elephant"
why do you say that?" asked Attor-
ney James Manahan, for the committee,
which is trying to ascertain the cost of
the railroads in the state.
II make the assertion because 1t Is
So" said Mr.. Hill. IF the government
had charge of all the railroads in the
country, congress would be kept busy
making appropriations night and day and
the districts with poor representation
and sparse population would be left in
the lurch. This would mean that the
districts in question would go to seed as
far as the railroads were concerned and
that the railroads would get rusty figura-
lively speaking, and become less and less
valuable"
Attorney Manahan then asked Mr.. Hill
what it would cost the government to
secure control of the Great Northern
The witness replied that 1t would cost
upwards of $40, 900 per mile to reproduce
the Great Northern not counting expen-
sive terminals docks and other property.
Counting all the property he said it
would cost about 100000 per mile to ire
produce the railroad

a gloomy one and In contrast the
preacher offered the death of little Grip
pied girl, whose faith in Jesus had helped
her to bear the pains of infrmity and
who died with the name of the Saviour
on her lips. He drew striking lesson
from this and begged the congregation to

The Northern Pacific shows a good
record of profits for the year and in
addition to handsome sum for div
idends, has an equally large sum for
permanent improvements. The North
ern Pacific has grown with the coun-
try and with good management to
be one of tue best roads in the coun-
try, and with the growth and deyel-
opment of the territory through
which it operates is destined for fur
ther prosperity. At the present time
the road is expanding millions in the
revision of its grades and the sys-
tenn of double tracking which will
soon be necessary to handle its in
Greaslng business. On the Dakota
division of the road today the sum
being expended runs into the mill

million is being spent bridging the

which will enable the operation Of
heavy trains without the aid of push
