RULINGS ARE ANNOUNCED
 ON USE OF FREE PASSES

Washington. oct. 27-Free passes may be issued to bona fide ex-employes of a railroad who are travelling to re- enter railroad services Passes cannot be extended to the families of employees who died a natural death while in the service of the common carriers. though that privilege is accorded to the fam flies of employees killed in the service. There are among the rulings announced by the Interstate Commerce Commits sion today.
 The Commission holds that railroad may provide in its tariffs that when ever, because of washouts or other &C., cidents. passengers are delayed beyond their ticket limit or So as to curtail their stop-over privileges, the conduc- tor or other agent may, by endorse ment on the ticket. extend the time to cover such detention.
 This is to be honored by succeeding conductors on the company's lines. but no carrier can provide such extension when provided in a proper joint tariff.
 The Commission also has authorized changing 6by not over thirty days) the terms of short-time excursion fare tarifEs under certain conditions. When the excursion is lintted to not more than three days, chapss1s may be post' ed one day In advance in two public places for these reasons: Changes of date of meeting, extension of the re- turn limit. additional selling days, ad- ditional stop-over privileges. etc. If the excursion is limited to between three and thirty days, cancellation of tariff changes in it's terms may be made on like notice of three days.

HELD FOR A RANSOM
WEALTHY LUMBERMAN KIDNAP-
 PED BY ONE MAN.
Edward English Was Bound to a Tree, From Which He Made Ills
 EseaDe-HighWayma Was

Mount Vernon. Wash, Oct. 27.- While driving to Mount Vernon last night from his lumber camp about fif- teen miles from here, Edward English, s wealthy lumberman of Mount Yer non was held up and Kidnapped by a lone robber about three miles from town.
 The robber forced English to make a note payable at a Mount Vernon bank for Sb,000 and write the follow ing letter to his wife: 'T am held up and Kidnapped for 35,oo0 and I am threatened with having my ears cut off if the money is not forthcoming by tomorrow noon. For Gods sake make all haste. Show this to Mir. Hannay and solicit thIs sum"
 Hannay is connected with a Mount Vernon bank.
 The robber, within two miles of town. handed the note and the letter to a passing traveller. telling him that English had been injured in a run English. This the stranger did. Mean while the bandit left his victim tied to tree, evidently intending to return to him in the morning to see if the ransom was forthcoming.
 English, however, managed to break loose from the ropes which bound him and made his way to the home of Henry Day. about two miles from Mount Vernon, where he telephoned his wife and Sheriff Harmon of SkaRit county. The sheriff at once sent dep uties out in hopes of securing the kidnappeF.
 The man Is described as having one arm bandaged up. It is believed that the stranger who took the note to Mrs. English was g confederate.

MAYBEGIN BLOCKADE
DIPLOMATS AND STATE OFFICIALS
 WATCHING HOLLAND.
With a Blockade of Venezuelan Ports, the Holland Government Be- Iieves That She Can Force
 Castro to Terms.

Washington. Oct. 27-Diplomats. to- gether with State Department officials. are wondering just what is to be Hol- lands next step in her dealings with Venezuela. now that President Castro has declined to revoke his decree of May 14, prohibiting the trans-shipment of goods for Venezuelan ports at Gu racao.
 Hollands latest note demanding the revocation of that decree generally has been understood to be an ultima tum by holland and November 1 was set down as the limit of time in which she expected Venezuela to take favorable action on her demand. That time Is now near at hand
 Holland has maintained that the res toration of Curacao's commercial in- tercourse with Venezuela Is absolute ly necessary to the existence of that colony.
 Neither at the State Department nor at The Netherlands Legation in Wash ington, can any information be oh- tained as to the governments course regarding enezuela in the event Cas- tro persists In his refusal to revoke the objectionable decree against Cu- racao.
 There has been some tcik of block ade of the ports of Venezuela by Hol- land If Holland Is determined to do this, she is fully prepared for the work. Several months ago. when the relations between the two countries became acute as a result of a number of irritating circumstances. Holland. which usually keeps a man-of-war neat Curacao, began augmenting her naval representation there, in consequence of which she has now three good sized vessels in Vest Indian waters They are in command of Captain Snethlage. who was in command of The Neither lands fleet in the East Indies during the Russian -J apanese war. The vessels were stationed in that locality to en- force the neutrality laws. Captain Snethlage Is said to be a man of rare executive ability and dis .retion.
 With a blockade of Venezuelan ports, the Holland government believes that she can force Castro to terms.

BIG DAMAGE SUIT FILED
 AGAINST NIGHT RIDERS

Louisville Ky. Oct. 27.-A suit for $100, 900 damages which was filed in the United States Court for the Sixth Circuit at Louisville today. promises to become an important factor in the night riding situation in Kentucky and Tennessee.
 The plaintiff, Henry Bennett, on the morning of the fourth of last Febru- ary, was set upon and terribly beat en with clubs, and, as he claims. maim- ed and badly injured by a band of night riders. At the same time his stemmery and tobacco factory and other large and valuable buildings were destroyed by the night riders. Mr. Bennett since that time has re- ceived letters threatening that he would be killed by the night riders. In the suit which was filed today he is proceeding not only against the Getual persons who were present at the time of the destruction of his property and injury to himself, but against a large number of other persons. many of whom are counted among the most prominent and prosperous citizens of the western part of the State, alleging that they were members of criminal conspiracy, known as the Night Rid ers'' organization, or Silent Brigade" and that they participated in the meetings which were held throughout many counties.
 The purpose of bringing this suit Is to establish that all persons who are members of the night riders organiza- ton are bound by the acts of the night riders. all being alike responsible for the conduct and actions of the others done in furtherance of the general ob- ject of the conspiracy which was to force all independent raisers and ham dlers of dark tobacco to place their tobaco in the pools controlled by the Dark Tobacco Association. If this suit Is carried to a successful conclusion, the attorneys claim that 1t will result in every man of property within the dark tobacco growing section of the State. through fear of being made financially responsible for the out rages of the night riding organization to be at once becoming an active agency for the detection and preven- tion of similar outrages in the future.

KERN MAKES GRAVE CHARGE Says $1OO,OOO Has Been Sent to Indiana. DENIAL BY REPUBLICANS Seceetary of State Says He Didn't
 Get Money. Vice Presidential Candidate Declares Big Fund Was Raised By Trusts
 Nni Seat To Defeat
 Democrats.

Tipton, Ind. Oct 27--"I am reliably informed and make this specific charge. that slOo,000 of mor-ey largely contrib uted by .'usts and combines was brought into Indiana last Sunday and passed thre gh the hands of Hon. Fred Sims, Secretary of State.''
 John W. Kern. the Democratic Vice Presidential .ninee, made the above declaration before good tized audi ence here today.
 Mir. Kern. accompanied by 6 number of other Democratic campaigners. ar- rived in a special car over the inter urban traction railroad. making a one hour stop.
 T think that every thoughtful and patriotic citizen will see the necessity for the publication of campaign contrt- buttons before the election" said Mir. Kern. The people will be much bet ter advised as to how they should vote if they knew the extent to which the great unlal full monopolies and combines were contributing money for campaign purposes. and if they also knew which party was the recipient of these contributions.
 Every sensible man knows that when a contribution is made to a cam paign fund by one of these 1awless and plundering combinations, 1t expects to have value received in the form of spe- Clal IaNOFS
 MT Sims is a most estimable gen. tleman and a warm personal friends of mine but 1 am compelled to say that it is a sad spectacle to sec a public of- fcial who is required to pass every year upon the question as to what amount of taxes shall be levied upon the railroads and other corporations of his State. handling the money that these corporations are called upon to contribute to the camp aign fund.
 'The assessing or taxing office. who. like Mir. Upham. of Chicago. or Mr. Sims, of Indiana, has the power to raise or lower the taxes of corpora. tions. has rare facilities for frying fat out of tue corporations whose proper ties they are required to vAliie.
 T hope that the time m. come when no pubic oficer will be allowed to neg lect his official duties and engage in such questionable business. The time is not far distant when an aroused public sentiment will so purify the pc litical atmosphere as to make the fur ther perpetuation of such wrongs inl- possible"

 Lieut.. Gov. ChRnIer.
 New York. Oct. 27.-WilIiam R Hearst departed from his routine of reading so-called Standard oil Com pany letters to center his attack on Lieutenant Governor Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler. the Democratic candidate for Governor.
 Tn a speech at an Independence League meeting at the Grand Central Palace. MT. Hearst produced and read what he said were press notices sent out in the interest of the Chanler Pres idential boom. prior to the Democratic convention, by a Democratic. press agent, employed by Mir. Chanler. In these notices Mir. Bryan's candidacy was held up to ridicule, while MT Chanler's qualifications were extolIed.
 With these as a basis. Mir. Hearst attempted to show that Mfr. Chanler's attitude towards MT. Bryan. especial ly as indicated at the Madison Square Garden Monday night. was one of hy- poerisy, and that MT. Chanler was traitor and turncoat.'
