RAILROAD LEGISLATION
State solons Propose 10 Inaogurats Many

railroads will be given chance TO

meantime Senator futile providing for

il pointed out that it IL practically Of
no use to regulate passenger rates with

cause the tendency of the railroads
would be- TO boost freight rates TO make

Many Legislators aver that rate

car shortage and demurrage. Both in
senate and house several rate bills will
be forthcoming soon. They will deal

WISCONSIN CENTRAL.

The rumor Is current again In rail-
road circles that the interests in control
OF the Wisconsin Central railroad have
given an option on the property 70
an eastern syndicate. For obvious
reasons the names Of the parties in
terested ARE withheld.
The story, which has been going the
rounds in New York financial circles
for the last ten days, relates that when
the present management secured con-
troll II was understood that the road
for two years had showed surplus earn
nigs OF 5000, O0O President Bradford,
backed by his friends in Boston, con-
ceived the idea OF declaring dividend
Of per cent on the preferred stock,
thereby greatly increasing the market
value Of that stock. On this repre-
sentation. so the rumor says. arrange
ments were made with three New York
banks 20 carry the financial burden. At
that time the market value of the pre-
ferred stock was close 90 $50 per share.
II Is stated in well informed circles
that the Bradford syndicate paid about
that figure for control Of the road.
Since then the value of Wisconsin
Central preferred stock has decreased
until today 1t Is worth in the neighor-
hood of $45 a share.
Now the story goes on to say that
when the Bradford crowd arrived in
Milwaukee it discovered that the 5000,
900 surplus had already been spent on
the Duluth extension. OF course this
did away with any possibility Of divi-
dends. at least for the present.
II il is true that the control Of the
stock was purchased on margins the
heavy shrinkage in values and the i'm
mense interest charges involved, would
be heavy burden even for 30 rich
as the Bradford interests
to carry. At the same time IL would
tend 10 verify the rumor that the pre-
sent control had been forced into CIV
ing an option on the property. Those
who profess to know something of the
situation, declare that the Milwaukee
road holds the option and that an early
transfer Of control may be looked for.
In connection with this. IL is pointed
out that the Milwaukee road could

MODERN HOMES SANS BOOKS.

A brilliant French author of the lat ter half of the nineteenth century held that the time Was fast approaching when books would be no longer read
 In support of his view it has been coutended that the world especially that part of the world which is called polite society has found substitutes for literature in innumerablc forms of amusement, in exciting sports and in Ia general expressing pursuit of pleas urc at first hand. One living pcrforce much alone provided with few other resources against dull days looks to his library for entertainment and there he finds companions that he can "shut up" without discourtesy when they begin to weary him They m- troduce him to d life that is not his own; it may be of today or il may be of a thousand years ago. But people who are not condemned by circumstances or by temperament Co loneliness pre- fer to see life for themselves. and as they might put it, to live rather than to dwell upon any criticism of life.
 The most distinctive feature If the situation, however. is the prominence of woman as a liberator and licensed worker in the countmg-room. in the salesroom and in the workshop. She is, mo doubt. very useful but she is becoming too busy for literature un- less she happens to be a writer ner- self Certainly it is well that she should be independent and that she need not marry merely to secure a living; but it is to be regretted that she is to SD great an extent lost to social and domestic life. Ii is part Of the bonefcent influence of good books that they imrart am additional interest to the quiet intercourse of the home circle and enhance its charm.

AMERICA AND THE PHILIPPINES

Americans who travel in Europe and come in Sontact with the more intcli- sent classes report a decided change in their attitude toward America and things American Not so very long ago any educated Englshman was willing to express his opinion freely on ques- tious of American politics and indulge in ufhand prophecy of dire evils that W re certain to befal this nation. But progress ou this side of the water has been SD marvellous. and complex prob l"ms have been solved with such ap- parent ease, that the omniscient Briton has given place to the interrogatory Britou who wonders what We will do next and how We win do it. What are you going to do about the Philippines 9" Inc asks now. or What about the trustso" or "WH that S29.ooO. GOO fine be paid?"
 The Philippine problem appeals to the Imagination of most Englishmen because so many similar problems have been solved or are in process of solu- tion by the empire. The recent re- newal of the proposal that the Phil ippmes be sold arouses wondering com ment. The London Spectator, which has the reputation for Americanpho- bia, holds up its hands in horror at the very idea. and points to what En- gland has done in Egypt as an illus traitor of what America can and ought to accomplish'in the faraway ar chipelago It intimates that we must find some Lord Cromer to send as pro- consul to the rescue of the islands and makes the interesting suggestion that here is work fit for the hand of Roose- welt, after he shall have laid down the presidency and recuperated his strength. The Spectator believes that with General Wood as his right hand man. Roosevelt could accomplish won- ders in securing for the Philippines the gift of good government and ad- vancirg civilization.
 There is. of course. little cause for anyone across the Atlantic to worry about this nations abandoning the work in the Philippines to which it n2s put its hand. We shall go on with the reclamation of those teeming is lands of the sunny seas, working out the solution of the problem as best we c;'n. Even now our leading presidential candidate, oblivious to the call of practical politics" is steaming across th" Pacific to give the best that is in him to tr" new Filipino parliament.

 William J.

Sadlier's method of suicide was most
greNsome. He made mis- preparations
for death deliberately and used a
sawsd-of shotgun which was kept in
the hank for protection against rob
bers. Both barrels of this ugly wea-
pom, loaded with buskshot, were dis
charged, and the whole TOP of the sui
cides skull was blown away.
Special Policeman Pierce made a
thorough examination of the premises
but few minutes before s O'Clock.
Looking through a window he saw the
body of the manager sDrawled on the
floor in a pooI of blood and brains.
The victim was so badly mangled
that ne could scarcely be identified
even from the lower part of the face.

floor, told the story

Sadlier had committed suicide he threw
up MS hands and exclaimed:
MY God! How did he do it? Did he
shoot himseIf?' On being told that his
surmise was correct, Brown said: Il
was afraid of that"
Brown was deeply affected by the
news Of Sadlier's suicide. His hands
trembEed so that il was with difficulty
that he rolled a cigarette and, for the
first time since his arrest, was the ac-
cused bankers poise and indifference,
real or affected. disturbed. His voice
faltered and there was suspicion of
tears III his eyes as he spoke of the
death Of his trusted employe.
Brown denied with much vehemence
that Sadlier was personally involved
in the failure of the California Safe De-
post q Trust company, or that he had
lost n,Uch in the crash.
SadIier Had Little.
"Sadlier did not have more than
$1,000, If he had that" said Brown. He
had few shares of stock and may
have had a small deposit in the bank.
1t was not his personal loss nor any act
as an employee of the bank that caused
him to take his life. 1t was his per-
sonal regard for me and the sorrow of
my wife, as we'll as the troubles of the
bank. which caused his dependency.
Sadlier had been my most intimate
friend for many years. He was the
first man that l met in California, and
first introduced me to the California
Safa Deposit & Trust company. Later
he went to South Africa, and as a
volunteer fought on the British side
during the BOer war, in which he was
given medal for bravery. Ever since
