WHAT THEPENNsYLNANTA
RAILROAD FORT XMiLLiON
LOAN MEANS.

The announcement that the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company has al
ranged to place long term bond
issue Of 100000 is another cheer
full sign of returning confidence and
of business recuperation. Speaking
of the transaction, the Wall Street
journal of Wednesday says:
"The proceeds of these $40, 100000
bonds will finance all the require
ments of the Pennsylvania in any
event for the next year to come, and
owing to the low rates of the money
is likely to stimulate Improvement
work along the entire Pennsylvania
system. That the Pennsylvania has
been able to finance its requirements
for a long while ahead on such res
sonable terms as already Indicated,
while for many months past money
for railroads OF higher or lower grade
has been almost impossible except
at prohlbitive rates, is considered the
brightest omen in the railway Held
since the depression began.
The loan will mean that the Penn
sylyania can resume work on in
provements which were postponed
owing to the panic. The expendi-
ture itself of SO large sum Will ana
materially, of course, IN lettering
business conditions in certain IocalI-
ties, but its real Importance is the
encouragement it will lend TO other
railroad companies and to business
enterprises generally. Further than
this, the deal indicates that capita
not only has faith in the substantial
basis of the country's future pros
perity. but believes that the turn OF
the tide is here.-BaltimOre News.

A CONFERENCE OF GOV
ERNORS.

The conference oflgovernors called
by President Roosevelt to meet in
Washington May IL will be highly
interesting event, and the pafticI-
pants will find no lack of timely and
important problems bearing on the
general subject of our natural re-
sources. The main difficulty, it
seems, will be that of guiding the
discussions and deliberations in such
a manner that something tangible
and practical may result from the
gathering, considering that the
ground to be covered is so vast and
the conference is confined to few
DAYS. The value of such a confer-
ence ought to be very large. Its
educative effect will lie not so much
in the facts which will be presented
as in the opportunity of the governors
and other delegates from the differ
ent states to look at certain prob
lens from the viewpoint of President
Roosevelt and the other men identl-
fed with the general government
who will address the conference.
The investing of large internal
projects with the significance and
enthusiasm which proceeds from til
habit of relating them to the pros
perity of tue whole country, made
luminous by the prophetic vision OF
men who have studied these prob
lens deeply, will constitute natural
and highly profitable beginning.
Community of aims and ideals on
the part of states having similar
economic problems to solve and hay
ing a common interest in certain
large project is prime essential
It is assumed that the state officials
have this in greater or less degree,
but one can hardly doubt that the
conference in Washington, bringing
them into direct personal touch with
federal representatives, will be of
advantage in broadening their
views.

INQUIRY BY HEFLN
PROBING INTO THE STATISTICS ON
COTTON.
In Committee Room, Alabama Member
Puts Pertinent Interrowafious
to Chfef Clark Of the De-
Uarxment Bureau.

Washington, ID. C. Feb. B--(specfai.)
Prior to the holidays, Congressman
Helm introduced resolution calling
upon the Secretary of Agriculture for
Information regarding his estimate OF
the 1907 cotton crop, contending thai
the estimate made by the Department
was nearly a million bales more than
would be produced in the United States
The estimate Of the Agricultural De.
partment was II SIS. 900 bales.
The resolution was considered today
when the matter OF gathering statfs-
tics was reached in the agricultural
appropriation bill now before the Com
nittee on Agriculture and Of which Mr.
Helm is q member His contention
that the Governments estimate was
more than the cotton yield for 1907
was admitted. but not to the extent
that he claimed.
Assistant Chief Clark, of the Stats
tics Bureau. was examined. The inves-
{ tiagtion was conducted principally by
Mr.. Helm, who inquired among
other tiatngs:
aIow often DO you estimate the cot.
ton crop per Year, How do you OBJ
tain information Regarding the cottor
cfop7 Wh&t portion Of, this cotton bell
DO the agents cover. or actually In.
npect9 How many times a year dt
these agents report on the condition Of
the cotton crop? What is done witt
these reports when received by the
Secretary of Agriculture? Do you re-
ceive or consider suggestions or re.
ports from the New orleans Cotton Elk
changer"
Mr.. Helm, in speaking Of the In
vestigation, said:
aAfv resolution has accomplished good
IN several ways. It will impress tbs
Department with the Importance Of
making true estimates and Of the ne.
cea9tty Of guarding the Department and
this statistical work against outside In
I iiuence and suggestions. Too much
care and attention cannot be had along
tfls line.
\ .The Investigation and hearing or
the matter of cotton statistics hat
strengthened my impression and the
impression among Southern members
that Il Is better to have statistics gath
cred BY the Government and estimates
made thereon by the government, ra'
Their than leave this matter In th'
hands Of cotton gamblers and manu-
featuring interests"

Assistant to Architecf Huston Testifles
In Grafs Case.
Harrisburg. Pa. Feb. 5--All doubt as
TO the attitude of Architect Joseph M.
Huston toward his co-defendants In tho
Capitol conspiracy suit on trial In the
Dauphin County Court. was dispellod
today by the testimony of his assist
ant, Stafford b. Lewis.
Lewis gave damaging evidence
against the defendants. Contractor j..
H. Sandersof. former Auditor General
Synder. former state Treasurer Math-
ues and former Buildings Superintend-
emit Shumaker While not admitting
that there was any conspiracy of which
he had knowledge. Lewis told every
thing the Commonwealth asked. Hus-
ton remained In the seclusion of his
room at the Senate Hotel. where he was
friends and lawyers. The architect
was indicted jointly with these four
defendants, but secured a separate trial
with the consent OF the Commonwealth
when the case was called. ~
Lewis gave testimony to show that
while the original form Of the certifi-
Gates of Architect Huston were the
same as those used by all architects.
the form OF Illusions certificates was
so changed by direction of synder az
to specifically include weights and
measurements. The prosecution claims
that the change In form of the certif-
Gates was made to that the RESPONSE
bility for checking up the furnishings
would be shifted to the architect In
stead of beng on Snyder and Shumak-
er, who were by Law required to certify
to all furnishings of the Capitol.

IT LOOKS LIKE WAR

ity Of hostilities between Russia and
Turkey as q result of the boundary dis
pute between Turkey and Persia. a situ-
alton that has caused the despatch Of

The Novo vremya today. which pro-
fesses to believe that war might easily
como about from the existing interna-
tioral conditions.
The paper declares the present mo-
ment the most favorable for Turkey. In
asnnuch as Russia Is involved IN inter
nal troubles. her army Is disorEanixed
and the Turkish border = without for

nently q 0iepatch from its This cor
respondent. saying that Russian army
officers in the Caucacus consider war
TO be probably not later than April.
The correspondent adds that threaten
ing movements Of Turkish troops near
the frontier continue without Interrupt
tion and that several large steamers
of the Austrian-Lloyd Line have been
chartered by Turkey for the transport
tation Of munitions of war TO Anatolia.
Owing to the fact that the population
of the Caucasus Is largely Turkish, the
correspondent urges that instead of mo-
bilizing the reserve there. the Russian
Government should send troops from
the interior to the border. The foreign

surances that there were no new de-
Velopments in the situation pointing
to the possibility of hostilities, but sew

Expert And Witness show Jury How
Guerin Was Killed.
Chicago, Feb, 5--A realistic repre-
senation of the shooting of Webster 3.
Guerin, according to the theory of the
tragedy held by the defense, was enact
ed in the court room today in the trial
of Mrs. Dora Mcdonald.
The attorneys for the prisoner were
endeavoring to prove that, during a
struggle between Guerin and Mrs. Nc
Donald, she turned the revolver against
him and that he pulled the trigger, firing
a shot into his own chest. Dr. M. L..
Harris. an expert in gunshot wounds.
enacted the part of Guerin, and DR..
] w. Hall, Mrs. McDonald's physician,
filled the role said to have. been enact
ed by his patient. The two men strug-
gled and posed on the witness stand
for the better part of two hours, during
the direct and cross examinations. The
state claimed that II the revolver had
been held at the angle claimed by the
defense the bullet would have entered
the body of Guerin in a different direc-
ton from that II actually took.
At the afternoon session of the court,
DR.. Francis w. McNamera. jail ply
stefan, testified that upon examina-
ton of Mrs Mcdonald on her arrival
at the county jail, he found several
bruises and scratches on her throat,
shoulders and other portions of her
body. On cross examination, he ex-
pressed the opinion that the bruises
had been made by a mans hands. Mrs.
Minnie Gallinger Hirsch identified let
ters written to her by Webster GuerIn
in which he confessed to blackmaiIing
letters by means of which the defense
claims Guerin tried to extort money
from Mrs. Mcdonald. After this testi-
mony the court adjourned
