INDEBTEDNESS $28, 100000.
Wheeling and Lake Erie Railroad
Placed In Hands of Receiver.

Toledo, O., June 9.-On claims ag-
gregating SS,719,047, due the National
Car Wheel company of New York, the
Wheeling and Lake Erie railroad was
placed in the hands of a receiver by
United States District Judge w. w.
Tayler. The petition alleges the total
Indebtedness of the Wheeling and
Lake Erie to be upwards of $2S,OOO,-
600.
b. A. Huntington of Cleveland, vice
president and general manager Of the
Wheeling, was appointed receiver for
the road, and Immediately qualified
by filing bond for 100000 furnished
by the Union Security company of
Baltimore. The National Car Wheel
company was represented before
Judge Tayler by a Pittsburg law firm,
and Attorneys Squiers and Duncan of
the law firm of Squiers, Sands &
Dempsey of Cleveland, with c. A. Sci
ders, the local attorney representing
the Wheeling road.
Ii is said that the troubles OF the
Wheeling and Lake Erie road have
their foundation in the building of the
Pittsburg and Wabash terminal sta
tions. This work was started under
President Ramsey. He believed he
could put the work through for $751;
100000 but it has already run up to
over SAC, 900 and is still incomplete.
Other matters which are said to have
precipitated the receivership are a
note of a million dollars due in August
and an eight million dollar mortgage
which falls due within few months,
with no funds available to meet them

SPECIAL LCARSCOLL|DE.
Eight Persons Killed Outright
and a Score Injured.

Shots Fired at Dreyfus-Ravages Of
Cankerworn-Lunch For Hungry
School Children - Explosion on
Cruiser Tennessee-Neeotating For
BIG Russian Contract.
In a head-on collision between two
special cars of the Washington, Bal
timore and Annapolis Electric Rail
road company just out Of Annapolis,
shortly before s o'clock Friday night
eight persons were killed outright and
a score of others were seriously in
sLred, some of them fatally.
The collision was due to a confusion
of orders, as the line had been running
several extra cars each way in connec-
ton with the commencement festivi-
ties at the Naval academy.
OF the injured General Traffic Man
ager William L. Slaughter of the
Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis
was in the worst condition and his
death at any moment would not cause
the physicians surprise.
The others more or less seriously in
jured include State Senator Peter ].
Campbell and his daughter, Miss Mig
non Campbell of Baltimore and Judge
James X. Brashears of Annapolis.
The wreck occurred on curve,
which prevented the motormen of the
cars seeing more than a short dis
tance ahead. 1t is said that the car
from Baltimore was ordered to wait
on siding at Best's Gate, the station
beyond Camp Parole, for the other car
to pass. Why these orders were not
carried out has not been ascertained.

Negotiating For Big Russian Contract.

1t is said at Pittsburg that the Unit
ed States Steel corporation is negotiat-
ing with Russia for one of the largest
steel contracts ever made. Accord
ing to the reports the steel company
will provide rails for relaying practi-

railway, and that probably more than
100000 tons of so and So pound rails
will be required for the purpose. The
value of such a contract would be
about $25,000,000.

PUBLIC HEALTH LAW.
Roosevelt VIII Make Recommendation
 Ua Aaa~a~Al


 Tn Message.
 New York. Oct. 30.--That President roosevelt has agreed to recommend to congress in his next message the passage of law to consern the public health similar to the one proposed by the American Medical Association, was the statement made before the New York Academy of Medicine by Dr. Chas. A L. Reed of Cincinnati. In speaking of the campaign for National Health laws Mir. Reed said: On the heels of the various steps forward. l am gratihed to be able to assure you that the president has au- thorized the statement that he will formulate definite proposals and will transmit them with his endorsement to the next congress.
 Tt now devolves upon the l3.000 doctors in the United States not only to back the president in his work, but to anticipate those actions by persistent campaign in behalf of this Fundamental feature of the public welfare"
 Speaking of the pollution of streams pr. Reed referred to the Ohio water shed as Q thousand miles of river and a thousand miles of typhoid" Over 5000 persons die every year of cancer. he ssaid. and tho death rate from that cause is increasing rapidly. If only one half of the persons who die, or are incapacitated as a result of tuberculosis and typhoid are saved Dr. Reed declared that 1t would mean a saving in money sufficient to maintain "a national board of health, pay for the army navy. fOrtify our coasts. duplicate our armament on the seas deepen our internal water ways, in ten years would pay for the Panama Canal. and would wipe out our nat ionaI debt"

JURY IS CHARGED
BIC SUIT or TRAcTTaN COMPANY
 PENDING.r
Judge sayre Delivers Careful Charge on Every Point of Highly Tech nical Case-verdict Expected
 By Midnight.

Judge Sayre. concluding his rather detailed charge Just before o'clock Friday evening. the jury in the $50, GOO damage suit instituted by the Mont gomery Traction Company against the Montgomery Light and Water Power Company, retired at o'clock to find a verdict, remaining out far into the eve nlng.
 The case involving technIcalities and expert testimony puzzling to the lay man. the charge of Judge Sayre dwelt carefully on every point as to which there could be question.
 The charge followed immediately up- on the conclusion of the address of Ray Rushton, for the Traction Company. Rushton, and R. E. Steiner and w. w. Hill, the latter for the defendant, ad- dressed the jury during the day. their pleadlngs occupying the entire days session.
 The two attorneys for tho defense strove to impeach the testimony of the plaintiff's witnesses. condemning it as inaccurate in cases.
 The suit which has become famous by its length and the amount involved, is for s5o.ooo. which. 1t Is alleged by the Traction Company, f.; due from the Power Company. because of excess in charges for power, as paid by the Traction Company while Ignorant of the excess. The excessive charges, t was alleged. were from three princi- pal causes: a rate for power higher than specified In contract, a fast meter, and stor -ge battery which was al- legged to have consumed power to . large extent.
 The case had been called for trial during the spring term of the City Court, but while in progress. was con- tlnued for the term, on account of tho sudden Illness of a juror.

saUANDERED ROADS MONEY.
Sensational Report Is Made T
 Receivers.

Receivera.
 Chicago. Oct. 30.--Ten million dol- lars in round figures, out of total of $is.00e.00o put up by the investors for the bankrupt Chicago and Mill waukee Railway Company. has gone into something else besides construc- ton. according to reports of certified accountants to the receivers appointed by Federal Judge Peter A. Grosscup.
 The principal features of the ac- countants' report were made public today. The report shows that $s,4s4.- 900. including the floating debt. have been spent in the construction of the entire road. Outstanding against this is total bond and certificate Issue of s1s.000.000 and other debts amount Ing to s2.fss, 900 making a total debt of t1s.ls9,O00. The difference between this amount and the money actually expended on the road is $9.7i5.0 900.
 Only haxy idea of the ultimate dis- position of this ss.71b. 900 exists outside the circle of the promoters of the company. A tremendously large amount was dissipated in the selling of bonds at extremely low prices.
 Until affairs arc probed thoroughly. the investors will not know all of the quicksands that submerged their mon- oy.
 The Wisconsin division of the road is the most striking example of ex- traordinary financing. The actual cost of the construction was S2,250,0OO. Against this is a debt of sI3.92s,Ss5.
 There are also interesting wrinkles in the financing of the completion of the road during the last few months
 Receiver Moore was appointed by Judge Grosscup at the instance of the Loewenfeldt London Security Company, which has 31.250,000 of the foad's bonds. Loewenfeldt, it was understood, was to take s1.000, 900 of the receivers certificates issued for the completion of the road into Milwaukee. MT. Loew- enfeldt, 1t appears. did not purchase the receivers certificates but turned them over to Receiver Moore, who was to try to dispose of them in the United States and Canada. there being no mar ket for them in London after the ex- pastures of the roads condition.
 In exchange for the certificates Loewenfeldt took $1.0O0.000 of the bonds of the Michigan United Rail- ways Company. in which Moore is in- terested. Loewenfeldt. as a result of these deals. has furnished only Sls0.OOO toward the financing Of the completion of the road.

DEAN NOT GUILTY
JUDGE GREENE FREES ALLEGED
 BRIBE-GIvER.
No Evidence Against the Deputy shertn Was Heard Other Cases May Go the same
 Way.

Birmingham. Oct. so.--(speciaI.)- ) = Deputy sheriff Louis R. Dean. who was indicted on the charge of receiving a bribe. growing out of the graft" fund which sherin Higdon established a year or two ago. 1t being asserted that a number of men had paid for pro- tection to be allowed to conduct gambling houses. was acquitted In the criminal court today.
 Judge Dan Greene. sustained a mo- ton to exclude all the evidence sub mittcd
 When Joe Frank, one of the men who was accused of rendering the bribe money. was tried Thursday and acquIt- ted because Dean. who had . case against himself declined to testify. the solicitor elected to try Dean next and the case was called this morning. Joe Frank declined to testify against Dean and though Sherlff Higdon told of the establishment of the alleged graft" fund and also of money receIv- cd through Dean. Judge Greene allow ed the motion to throw out all the evidence and gave a general charge in favor of the defendant.
 There are number of other bribery cases and 1t Is expected that tho most of these will go the same way as has the Joe Frank and Dean cases.

HumOrist Finds that They Have Ad- mirabIe Qualities. Reading. Conn.,, Oct. 30.-MarlE
 Twain yesterday addressed the local Library Association on Books and
 Burglars"
 The fact that his house was robbed recently embittered his speech some what. for he talked this way:
 Speaking of burglars. let us not speak of them too harshly. Now, I have known so many burglars-not exactly known, but SO many sof them have come near me in my various dwelling places. that am disposed ts allow them credit for whatever good qualities they possess
 Chief among these. and indeed the only one I just now think of is their great care while doing buisness to avoid disturbing peoples rest Noiseless as they may be while at work. however. the affect of their visitation Is to murder sleep later on.
 Now we arc prepared for these visitors. All sorts of alarm devices have been put in the house and the ground for half a mile around 1t has been electrified The burglar who steps within this danger soon will set loose a bedlam of sounds. and spring Into readiness for action our elabor- ate system of defenses. As for the fate of the tresspasser, do not seek to know that. He will never be heard of more.'
