American Mormons have been expelled

They were arrested and summarily
taken under guard to the frontier.
The imperial authorities decided in
1903 1t was not desirable to allow Nor
mon agents to continue activity in
Germany, but owing to the representa-
tons OF the American embassy in Ber-
lin and Chief Missionary Cannon, whose
field of activity is central Europe, with
headquarters in Berlin, the foreign Of
lice allowed the Mormons a month in
which to settle their affairs and leave
the country. There were then fifty
Mormon missionaries in various Ger
mar states. The grounds for their ex-
pulsion were teachings contrary to pub
lie morality. 1t was also agreed with
Cannon that all the Mormons who were
American citizens should discontinue
p~roSelyting in Germany. German con-
Verts, of whom there are several thou

new faith, under native pastors, were
subjected to various hindrances. Can

BY EYES BEWTCHED,
TRAIN IS DITCHED
SWitchmen Now Must Tell q
How the Wreck Was Caused
Because They Paused.

ElwoOd, Ind, Oct. IA wrecking crew
Of the Lake Erie and Western toiled late
into the night picking up an engine and
several cars that left the track at the Jay
Grain company's elevator here.
The engine and cars were ditched by two
smile-illuminated faces and four laugh
ing eyes. 1t happened this way:
Two Elwood girls went out to walk, r
And fair of face were they,
30 fair indeed that the switching crew was
completely carried away.
The switching crew forgot it's toll and
gave no heed to q switch
That lay there open before them, and
dumped the train In a ditch.
The Elwood maids, as as was said before,
had gone for a little walk,
And when the switchmen saw them, they
began to grin and gawk.
The maldens smiled and the switchmen
smiled and the engine rumbled on.
With never a fear b..
OF drawing near .
The elevators lawn.
The maidens cast their chances sweet to
the switchmen on the cars,
The switchmen fairly danced with glee
and whispered: Amt they stars?"
But alas and alack
The railroad track
Was not Of the lovelorn style:
The cars soon jumped
And quickly bumped
The whole blamed train in a pile.
The switch wasn't closed
AS the men supposed,
And 1t proved to the crew uncouth
That the adage Is straight
AS sure as fate
That true love don't run smooth.
And now the boys Of the switching crew
have got to tell the boss
How four bright eyes
Made them hit the ties.
And cause such an awful loss.

The published statement on which
complaint was baFed was that Mr.. Je.
rome had made a hard and fast agree

answered:

DUTCH PROXIES ARE
GIVEN TO FISH

New York, Oct. 9.-Upon the votes Of
hundreds Of small Dutch investors may
depend the outcome of one of the great.
est battles in the campaign the many
enemies Of L. H. Hartman are waging
to depose him from the dictatorship Of
the railroads covering one-third of the
United States.
In, the contest OF Stuyvesant Fish
against Hartman. for control Of the
Illinois Central, the Hollanders have
sent to Fish, it is learned today, the
proxies of 1000 shares of stock. About
20 per cent. of the Illinois Central stock
is held in Europe, the greater part in
Holland, and If Fish gets all the Euro
pean stock these shares will probably
swing the election in his favor.
With the Dutch share owners ac-
lively at work for Mr.. Fish, as was
disclosed today, he has a good chance
to get all the European proxies.

RECORDS DISPEL
CHERRY TREE TALE

Washington, Oct. 5.-Documentary
evidence has just been discovered in
Fairfax county, Virginia, to prove that
George Washington was not always re-
garded by his neighbors as a model of
Veracity. At the May term OF the
Fairfax county court in 1850 he was
publicly presented" by the grand jury
for swearing to a false list OF his tax
able property.
In other words, twelve citizens in his
home county officially branded him a
liar and tax dodger.
The discovery Of this record was
made by Captain r. Donahue. editor
,of the Fairfax Herald, a weekly d
While seeking data for a history of
the county which he is engaged in writ
ing. Donahue examined ancient records,
In the musty depths of pages yellow
with age, he unearthed proof of the fact
that in 1850 criminal proceedings were
instituted against Washington for not
entering his property for taxation, an
!offense which involved the taking Of
a false oath.
