crashing thunders, began to wish

Illinois to define her division Of the

MANHATTAN OIL COMPANY
Its Affairs Pr0bed at Standard
Hearing in New York.

New York, Oct. g. Conformation that
may aid Attorney General Wade Ellis
Of Ohio in his investigation Of the re-
lations Of the Manhattan Oil company
of Ohio and the Standard Oil company
was brought out in the hearing of the
federal suit against the oil combine
when F. T. Cuthbert, president of the
Manhattan company, was called as a
witness. Mr.. Cuthbert is the son of
the late John Cuthbert, who was asso-
ciated with the Standard and who. it
has been testified, had much to do
with the making Of the contract
whereby the Chicago and Indianapolis
Gas companies, controlled by E. G
Benedict and Anthony N. Brady, OBJ
tanned a constant oil supply from the
Standard as a part consideration for
the sale Of the Manhattan company.
Mr.. Cuthbert said his father, previous
to his connection with the Manhattan,
was a director of the Tidewater Pipe
Line company. The witness said he
became president of the Manhattan in
1902. Previous to that he was an
auditor of the company. Mr. Cuthbert
described at length the physical as
poets of the Manhattan.
Mr.. Cuthbert said that the Manhat-
tan company was only doing a pipe
line business at present. In 1901 the
Manhattan sold it's refinery to the
Solar Refining company, it's oil pro.
duction to the Ohio Oil company and
the tank cars to the Union Tank line
All three companies, the witness
said he understood, were controlled
by the Standard. The pipe system of
the Manhattan company was con-
nected with the pipe lines of the
Brooklyn Pipe Line company in Ohio
and with the Indiana Pipe Line COM
pany in Indiana. Mr.. Cuthbert testi-
fed that the capital stock of the Man.
haitian, after it's purchase, was grad
ually reduced from 100000 to $780,.

ENDANGERS MANY LIVES,
Girl Attempts to Wreck Train In Or

Rochester, Ind, Oct. 9.--Miss Iva
Wagner, seventeen years of age, the
daughter of a we'll known minister, is
under arrest here on a charge of try
ing to wreck a Lake Erie and West.
ern passenger train, thus endangering
forty or fifty lives. No less strange
is the accusation that the wreck was
planned by Miss Wagner in order
that she might get to see her sweet
heart, who is employed by the railroad
company and who would have been
summoned to the scene Of the wreck
had it occurred.
The railroad detectives who made
the arrest and who claim to have Sc

conclusion that the girls mind is un-
balanced and have informed her
father that the prosecution will be
stopped If he will place his daughter
In an institution where she can re-

AIRED IN ANNUAL REPORTS
Complaints Against Anti-RaiIroad Leg.
islation,

New York, Oct 9.-Complaints
against anti-railroad legislation Of
various states characterize the annual
reports of three railroad companies
which have just been issued. The
roads are the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe, the Wabash and the Chesa-
peake and Ohio. President Edward
P. Ripley of the Atchison says of rate
reductions:-
1T is hoped and believed that the
public will soon realize that it's recent
attitude toward railroad companies in
general has not been just to their
stockholders and bondholders and
also that unless the confidence of in
vestors in the security and stability OF
railway investments is restored it will
be impossible to obtain the additional
railway facilities which are necessary
to the development of the country"
President Ripley adds that the At
chison's directors have suspended
various extensive projects which were
contemplated and will limit the COM
pany's capital expenditures to the
completion of improvements to which
the company is already committed.
The presidents of the other two lines
speak in a similar vein.

HAD STOLEN JEWELS.
MiIIionaire's Wife Under Arrest at
Chicago.


Chicago, Oct. 9.-The city detective
bureau has in it's hands a diamond
robbery mystery that would make
Sherlock Holmes work overtime.
The most striking surprise came
when the identity of the fair prisoner.
arrested while in possession of the
alleged stolen jewels, was found to be
Mrs. Evelyn Cain Romadke, wife of
c. P. Romadke, Milwaukee million
aire, member of the firm of Romadke
Bros, trunk and leather goods manu-
facturers.
Mrs. Romadke, prior to the reveal
ing Of her identity, told various and
remarkable stories about the dia.
mOnds. The one she finally chung to
through several hours Of questioning
by Assistant States Attorney Clifford
Roe was that she accidentally met a
man named Ralph Smith," who, after
short acquaintance, gave her the
jewelry. AS to any further facts about
"Smith's" identity Mrs. Romadke,
amid many tears, pleaded ignorance.
The gems, valued at $1,000, were
said to have been stolen from the res
,idence Of Clarence E. Beck on the
afternoon of Sept. 2. The remarkable
thing about the case is that last Sat-
urday the jewelry was discovered
while being worn by Mrs. Romadke
by Mrs. Beck in the Baltimore inn, of
which Mr.. Beck is proprietor.
All the jewelry except two of the
diamond rings was found in Mrs. Ro-

there. The Marconl people account
for the occurrence by the theory that
the cone at Manila must have been in
perfect tune with that at Port Morien.
The message from Manila was
picked up while being sent to some
other station on the Pacific coast or
to war vessel. At the time the ex.
perts were experimenting in an effort
to receive messages from Ireland.
They received several messages from
the Irish station and We're in the act
Of making further tests when the in.
struments recorded the arrival of the
Philadelphia at Manila.
The Marconi people say that no mis-
take was made and that the message
undoubtedly was sent by the Manila
station, which IS about 10000 miles
distant, and that as result expert
ments with the stations in the East
will be attempted.

AGREES TO APPLY REFORMS
French Officials Confer With Sultan
of Morocco,

OF morocco.
Rabat, Morocco, Oct. 9.-Sultan Alb
del Aziz has received in audience the
French minister to Morocco, M. Reg
nault: General Liautey, commander Of
the minister's escort, and Admiral
Philibert, commander of the French
naval forces off the coast of Morocco.
The French representatives arrived
there on horseback, escorted by the
members of the French military mis-
sion which recently arrived here from
Fee, and were received with military
honors. The sultan, who was sur.
rounded by his most prominent ad-
visers, was seated on large velvet
cushion. After the first exchange of
courtesies M. Regnault, General Liau-
tey and Admiral Philibert were invited
to take places on velvet cushions by
the sultan's side. M. Regnault then
presented his letters of credence, &C.
companied by the usual diplomatic
assurances of Frances best wishes for
the grandeur and prosperity Of the
Moroccan empire and the hope that,
thanks to the flrmness and wisdom"
of his majesty, order and security,
which were necessary for the com
mercial development of the country,
would be restored, but also making it
clear that France expected the sui
tan's sincere cooperation in the exc
cution Of the reforms provided for by
the Algeciras convention.
The sultan replied in a low voice,
his words being translated by Abdel
Kerim Ben Sliman, the ex-minister of
foreign affairs of Morocco. He thanked
France for her evidences of friendship
and interest, declared his purpose of
applying the reforms agreed upon and
expressed his entire confidence in
Frances sincere collaboration in all
matters touching the common inter.
ests Of the two countries.
At the conclusion of the audience
M. Regnault conferred on the sultan
the cross of the Legion of Honor in
the name of President Fallieres.

Steps Looking to a Canal From the
Lakes to tho Gulf.
Springfield, ILL.,, Oct. Ex-Governor
Deneen, In his message to the state
legislature, which met in special ses-
sion during the day, urged that some
decisive action be taken in legisla-
ton regarding waterways. The time
was ripe for action, he said, and what
the legislature may do or fail to do
at this time was certain materially to
advance or retard the movement for
waterway developments.
1.-THE several States" he said,
(which are interested in the Lakes
to the Gulf deep waterways, look to
Illinois to take the lead. In federal
councils it seems to be expected that
Illinois will contribute in some degree
in proportion to It's special paramount
advantage. 1t seems probable that the
policy will soon be formally estab-
lished that states and localities en-
Toying exceptional advantage shall
contribute in material way.
