New York, Jan. S.--Charles w.

home by shooting. The cause was
not learned.
He was thirty-eight years old.
Whitney had not been actively en-

Cause of Suicide Not Known.

which he was a member, while sus-
tanning some losses in the recent

KENTUCKY GOVERNOR
DOES NOT APPROVE
TOBACCO WAR
Sends Message to Assembly
Urging appointment OF CON-
mission to Investigate.

Franfort, Ky. Jan. S.-The first
message OF Governor A. Il. Wilson to
the general assembly was read today.
Ii is devoted largely TO a stirring re-
citdl of the lawlessness that has de-
veloped in the tobacco war accom-
panied by a vigorous denunciation OF
the malefactors.
lie says the Kentucky tobacco mar
ket is nearly destroyed by the acts
of violence and intimidation.
The message markes specific rec
OmmendatiOn for the amending OF
the statutes governing a change OF
venue so that the granting OF such a
change becomes imperative upon any
Judge where lawlessness or intimida-
tion hinder a prompt and fair trial.
The message provides also for ap-
pointment OF a commission with the
full power to investigate the econ
omic causes leading up TO the tobac-
co troubles-that is, to ascertain
whether there has been an over pro
ductlon or whether the prices have
been forced down by a trust or a
combinations of buyers.

FIVE MEN PERISH IN A
RAGING GALE At
SEA
Schooner off Norfolk. Virginia.
Battered to Pieces in
Shoals.
LIFE SAVERS RE SCUED
TWO FORTUNsarE MARINERS

Norfolk, Va, Jan. S.-A message
from Cape Hatteras reports the loss
of an unknown schooner on the Dia-
mond Shoals yesterday. Five men
perished and two were saved.
The gale, which swept the cape
yesterday reached a seventy-five mile
an hour velocity and is declared to
have been the worst storm of east
ern Carolina since 1853. The wires
to aHtteras are not working wen
and no other information about the
wreck was received. The wind abat-
ed today.
The little schooner had apparent
ly broken her rudder as the seamen
appeared unable to direct her course
and she drifted broadside into the
shoals
The sea was running mountain
high and the waves completely COW
cred the schooner. Her timbers were
soon being washed ashore and the
vessel must have been literally
whipped to pieces on the rocks.
A life saving crew made strenuous
efforts to reach the boat in time to
save all on board but not even the
strong life boats could weather the
gale.
The men were brought off with
life lines and picked up by boat
which had gone as far as possible to-
wards the schooner. II is feared
that other vessels were lost in the
gale.

adopted son, was again at his isolat
ed home in northern Vermont,
Probably never in his eventful life
was DR.. Foster Eddy so completely
surprised as on the morning of Aug.
81, when the rural post delivery left
letter at his door. The envelope
bore a Boston postmark and was ad
dressed in a backhand. 1t had been
mailed at the Fenway station. The
doctor opened and read. 1t was
letter from Mrs. Eddy, in her own
handwriting, over her own character
istic signature, and was as follows:
pleasant View.
Concord, n. H., Aug. 80, 1907.
MY dear Benny: Your kind let
ter to Mrs. Sargent she showed to
me. If you would like to call upon
me now, l have a little leisure and
would be pleased to see your dear
face once more for a chat with you
after the old way. Please drop me
a line and 1 will make the appoint
ment. As ever yours,
MARY b. G. EDDY"
Profoundly astonished, the receip-
lent of this letter shut himself up in
his study and thought hard for
twelve hours. The more the doctor
reviewed the facts the greater be-
came his perplexity. He recalled his
ignominious expulsion from Pleasant
View and Christian Science mem
bership many years ago! and the
subsequent fact that Mrs Eddy had
fed from him in terror. shrieking
for help when he had tried to see
her for last interview. For a doz-
en- years he had hidden himself away
among the mountains of Vermont,
from the emnity, he had said, of Mrs.
Eddy's foOtman-secretary Calvin A.
Frye.
once he had written to Mrs. Sar-
gent, an inmate of Pleasant View, to
assure the household that he was
not conspiring against Mrs. Eddy
There was no answer, no recognition
of his existence. Later, he Joined the
Next Friends in the famous liti-
cation of last summer, and returned
to his home, bounded by anonamous
letters threatening his life.
Under these circumstances, the re-
ceipt OF Mrs. Eddy's loving invita-
ton TO Pleasant View unnerved its
recipient To be addressed as My
Dear Benny" and informed in Mrs,
Eddys own handwriting that she
yearned to look upon his dear face
once more" was almost zoo much
for the long discarded son.
The total value of Mrs. Eddys es-
tate, around which the coming fight
will rage, is unknown, save TO the
very few. But the list Of gilt-edged
securities now In the hands Of the
trustees foots up a total Of $7SS,77O.
They include the bonds Of seventy
two cities scattered throughout the
country, and constitute a remarkable
record Of investment.

EVELYN MAY NOT Be AL

Eminent Criminal Lawyers Soy
jerome Can Prevent It--DiStriCt
Attorney Has Startling Expos
ureS up His Sleeve About
European Trip.

New York, Jan. S.-The defense in
the case of Harry h. Thaw sprung
Its first surprise today by announce
ing that 1t had issued subpoenas for
several expert witnesses who testi-
fled for the prosecution at the first
hearing and who when Jerome ap-
piled for lunacy commission made
affidavit that in ;heir opinion Thaw
at the time of the inquiry was suf-
fering from an incurabIe form of in
sanity.
The work of the jury building
went forward today but progress was
slow. Luncheon recess was taken
with only two sworn and six pro-
vislonal jurors in the box.
District Attorney w. T. Jerome
may attempt this time to bar the tes-
imony of Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw.
wife of the accused man when the
actual trial begins.
At the first trial this testimony
was allowed to go before the jury
with the consent of the district at
torney, who said the precedent set
in former case seemed to cover
the matter. Several criminal law
yers have argued the point with Mr.
Jerome since the close of the first
hearing and having urged him TO OPP
pose this line of testimony at the
trial about to begin.
Young Mrs. Thaw was allowed to
testify at the first trial upon the the
ory that it was her story, told to
Thaw in Paris in 1903. two years
before their marriage, that planted
the seeds of temporary insanity in
his brain. The prosecution was not
allowed to test the truth or falsity OF
the story, the court rule being that
regardless of its truth the issue had
to do solely with the effect upon the
defendants mind.
Mr.. Jerome offered witnesses who,
he declared, would contradict certain
of the wife's statements, but they
were not allowed to be heard. The
prosecution Iad its only recourse in
a severe cross examination, but even
this was allowed only on the ground
of testing the credibility OF the witt
ness in general way.
The assistant district attorney,
Mr.. Garvin, spent several months last
summer and covered much of the
ground included in the travels of
Harry Thaw and Evelyn Nesbit dur
ing the two trips abroad which pre-
ceded their marriage. The district
attorney seemed last year to have
every detail of the young woman's
life at command, but it is said that
this year he will be able to confront
her with incidents of the European
trips not hinted at at the first hear
ing.
Thaw's attorneys will base their de-
fense solely upon the ground that
Thaw was legally insane at the time
he shot Stanford White and that he
has since recovered his mental bal
ance.

London, Eng, Jan. S.-.At a meet
ing this afternoon between the note

company to maintain status uuo dur-
ing the time necessary to prepare n
first mortgage bond covering ali the
indebtedness of the road and to OBJ
tain a vote from the stockholders
on this measure.
To File Application.
st. Paul, Mipn., Jan. S.-Frank
Kellogg and other attorneys repre-
senting the creditors of the Chicago
and Great Western railroad had a
conference with Judge Sanborn this
morning and at its close Kellogg an
nounced that he would appear be-
fore Judge Sanborn this afternoon
with an application for a receiver for
the railroad
Action is being taken, IL Is un-
derstood, for the purpose of delaying
the collection of obligations coming
due
This afternoon Kellogg gave out a
statement of the reason for the re-
celvership. He said the Immediate
reason was the failure to obtain an
extension on notes now due and
coming due this year which were
given for money borrowed for a bet
ternoi CT the road.
The company has spent $4,000
GOO during the past ten years on i'm
provements and has outstanding
notes for this purpose of about s10.-
900, 900.
Owing TO other unforeseen causes
the directors were unable to carry
out the plan for financing this
amount. The earnings have been
materially decreased during the
autumn by a strike at the shops
which tied up the equipment. The
strike was won but the damage had
been done.
The receivership would be tenn
porary pending time to carry
through the plan of financing the
road.

d Year.
ESTATE WILL BE WORTH
Si0o000OOO IF WILL IS LEGAL

Bloomington, H., Jan. s.-The
fight for the millions left by the late
Col. Tom Smell is on in the
De Witt county circuit court here.
There are hints of Sensational devel-
opments IN the Introduction of evil
dence.
The suit was filed by the million
aires only son, Richard, who was
cut off with $50 a year. Many of
the other heirs are supporting him.
but as there is a stipulation in the
viii that any one who contests for
feits his or her share 1t was decid-
ed to contine the prosecution of the
case to one, the son, who had the
least to lose.
The most remarkable phase con-
sists in the clause which provides
that the distribution of the estate is
not 10 be made until twenty years
after the death OF the youngest
grandchild. AS this child is but s
years old IL will be seen that the
property might be held inviolate for
almost a century and thus prevent
any Of the heirs now living from en-
ioying 1t.
The plaintiff will endeavor to prove
that Col. Smell was not in his right
mind and that the tying up OF land
ed property for such a long term
Is against public policy and detri-
mental to the interests of the COM
munity.

Spent Year Making VIII.

Counteracting the assertion OF
mental failing. 1t will be shown that
Col. Smell spent a year or more IN
drawing up the will. He consulted
the leading lawyers Of Chicago and
s.. Louis and obtained their advice
upon their plans.
II is believed he got his Ideas from
the late Marshall Field of Chicago,
who tied up his estate in a similar
manner.
No sooner will the case filed by
Richard Smell be ended than another.

Mabel Smell Of Kansas City will De

the daughter OF a deceased brother
OF Tom Smell. She was leberally re-

RAILWAY BEAUTY SPOTS.
Phlox and Hydrangeas For Stations.
Blue Grass For Right of Way.

Blue Grass For Right of Way.
One of the good things for which
people have to thank the railroads is
the progress they are making in beau
tifying their right of way
It is the practice of the Pennsylva-
MIA, as MOody's Magazine points out,
to surround its passenger stations,
which are practically the doorways to
towns and cities, with little parks with
terraces and gracefully curving paths
and roadways. TO care for these sta
ton parks is part of the duty of the
maintenance of way department., just
as it is to keep the rails and ties in
good order Flowers and shrubbery
are planted in artistic plots, and gar
deners keep them fresh and flourish
ing.
At station on the Long Island rail
road. which is Il subsidiary of the
Pennsylvania, 600 trees and shrubs be-
sides beds of phloX and hydrangeas
were set out this year For another
station on the Long Island 425 shrubs
and twelve trees have been ordered of
the so called perennials and ever
green's.
In the open country, too, far from
towns, the Pennsylvania has adopted
the policy of making its right of way
pleasant to look at Slopes Of un-
slightly rock or dirt are transformed
into green terraces.
Henceforth the standard roadbed,
when the tracks are in cut, will in
clude the sodded slopes. Blue grass
used for sodding will prevent the ero-
sion which has given engineers so
much trouble in times past In helping
to solve the drainage problem the grass
is even more useful than it is orna-
mental.
