Philadelphia of Twenty Men
in Three Seconds.

Philadelphia, Jan. 10.-Holding a
green cloth bag over his head and
shouting that it contained a bomb. a
crank yesterday sent 20 men flying out
of the banking and brokerage Office of

The board room was emptied in
about three seconds Only one man
held his ground. Edwin Wolfe. and he
admits that his sensations were any
thing but pleasant as the green bag
which contained some heavy package
struck the floor No explosion fol-
lowed, however, and the crank picked
up the bag and ran toward the front
door. He paused long enough to shout
to Mr.. Wolfe:
''You have the nerve all right. You
can buy wheat
The man then dashed out of the door
and was lost in the Chestnut street
crowd before he could be successfully
pursued.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 10.-Returns
from the election of officers of the In
diana branch of the United Minework-
ers of America show that w. d. Vah-
horn. opponent of the Mitchell admin
istration, has been elected president
by large majority. The national of
ficers of the organization supported

has been beaten despite the influences
brought to bear in his favor Thomas
T. Lewellyn, one of the most bitter
opponents of President Mitchell in the
organization, has been selected as a
delegate to the international conven-
ton here. Opposition to the Mitchell
administration grows out of the failure
to force a strike last spring when the
convention adjourned without reaching
a scale agreement.

New school Develops
Chicago, Jan. 10.-The existence of
a new and somewhat astounding
school of economies among railroad
men was disclosed before the inter
state commerce commission yesterday
This new school. to which j. C.
Stubbs. traffic director for the Harri-
man lines. and other great railway
men belong, sings the praises of pa
ternal and benevolent monopoly in rail
way utilities
1t goes even further and insists that
competition under a single ownership
OF all the railroads of the United
States would be just as insistent and
as sharp-just as beneficial to the
shippers and just as good for the coun-
try-as it would be if every railroad
had a separate ownership.
Take Issue With Sages.
The members of this school insist.
by inference. that all of the supposedly
wise things, certainly all of the unkind
things, which the sages have been say
ing for ages regarding monopoly and
its attendant evils are untrue-in fact.

competition and against a restraint of

1t would also instill the belief that

''The railroads under the ownership
of Mr. Hartman are competing today
as sharply as they ever competed" ."
declared Mr. Stubbs, who
is credited with being the foremost
traffic expert of the United States.
Again he said:
James J. Hill undoubtedly is the
greatest practical railroad man in the
world today, and even Mr.. Hill, by his
joint ownership, is unable. and would
be unable if he owned all the roads
of the United States, to stifie competi
tion on them.

Of Representative Madden, in the room
of the house committee on appropria-
tions. Nearly all members from Hi
nOis and Missouri were present while
poll of southern members from
states along the Mississippi disclosed
a strong sentiment in favor of fighting
for an appropriation at this session to
commence work upon the project
Mr.. Madden acted as spokesman
when the delegation moved on Mr..
Burton in the room of the committee
on rivers and harbors. He explained
that a promise was desired from Mr..
Burton that the bill would not be re-
ported until Mr.. Lorimer returns and is
given an opportunity TO speak as a
member of the committee in favor of
the deep water way
Refuses To Upset Plans.
Mr.. burton said the bill would be
held in committee as long as possible
without upsetting plans or eudanger-
ing its chances. He explained that
senators had been urging that the bill
be passed by the house as soon as pos
sible. so that it could receive atten-
ton in the senate before the closing
days of the session. Mr. Burton would
not be forced to agree to indefinitely
postpone reporting the bill. He asked
the sense of the insurgents upon n
compromise provision for a survey of
the Mississippi river from. st. Louis to
its mouth for a 14,klot sMlter way to
cost about 100000 or. $500 sug-
gesting that it might not be considered
good business TO construct such a wa
ter way from Chicago to ST. Louis and
then discover it could not be complet-
ed to the deltas. The compromise
was not acceptable and the insurgents
withdrew, with the understanding that
they would appoint a committee to
meet Mr. Burton on the 14th TO further
discuss the subject with him
