StIIIman Makes Statement.
 New York. May 5.-James M. Beck, who was counsel for H. H. Rogers and James Stillman filed their answer at Salt Lake yesterday in the Union Pa cific merger suit. said today:
 "The Associated Press dispatch from Salt Lake was distinctly misleading at some points and apparently malicious. The statement. that either of my eli ents claimed damages by reason of the Governments allegations in the merger suit is utterly ridiculous. Some stupid reporter must have mistaken the prayers for dismissal with costs, which every lawyer in the country is familiar, as a claim for damages. The statements with. reference to the pur- chase of Santa Fe stock, which seem ed to imply that either of my clients had purchased majority of the At chison stock seems too absurd to war rant even a denial.

of Europe. IN 1896 he was married to
Princess Maud, third daughter of King
Edward VII. of Great Britain. There
was considerable opposition to the
marriage. as Maud was the daughter
of the future king of England and
Charles was only a Danish prince. At
that time no one dreamed of the bril-
liant future in store for Prince Charles.
After the marriage Prince Charles was
well received in England. His father
in-law became proud of him and often
employed him in delicate and import
ant missions. When Norway severed
her connection with Sweden and de-
cided to have a king of her own the
name of Prince Charles was the only
one seriously considered in connection
with the throne. In 1905 Prince
Charles and Princess Maud were

81 am a victim of consumption, so
my physicians say. induced by drink
and drugs l am abandoned of my
friends and living on the charity of a
great city. 1 am alone. ! am In the
depths of despair.
Late! So late! But we can enter
stilY
"'Too late-too late! Ye cannot en-
ter nowr
How the despairing wall rings in
my ears! My young life is spent All
my hopes are withered. l cannot turn
back. 1t is too late-too later
The cry of agony is not taken from
novel. 1t is chapter from real life,
the wall Of a once famous actress.
There Is in it fearful warning.
And you do not need to read this
poor little sermonet to find it. How
ever
1t may not be out of the way to en-
phaslze this warning to the woman or
girl who is just beginning to take an
occasional drink because she thinks
she needs it or because she is tired
or blue or discouraged or who takes a
drink just for fun" or because her
''set" does this thing.
I wish this editorial might lead you
to read again the wall of the poor wo-
man and burn into your soul the con-
sciousness of the irremedial evil of the
use of drug potions and drink stimu-
lants-
Because students Of social conditions
say the drink custom and the drug
habit among women are alarmingly on
the increase.
1t is not strange that a woman
should contract an appetite for stimu-
lants. The habit is not more abnor-
NAL than the male habit Especially
are those women tempted who keep
late hours and indulge in social dissi-
pations. But they are not more tempt
ed than the poor woman drudge whose
vitality Is spent in ceaSeless toll or be-
cause of poverty or of ignorance or Of
abuse
Nevertheless
The curse is the same whether upon
man or woman, "for at the last it bit
eth like a serpent and stingeth like an
adder"
1t is also true that the effect of liq-
uor or drugs habitually used is worse
in its effects upon woman. Her finer
sensibilities are the more easily raw
aged, the fine edge of her keener sense
of delicacy the more easily blunted
If she is rich, she may hide her
growing coarseness in a sheltered
home or disease may take her to a
premature end. If she is poor, humili-
alton may drive her to suicide or pow
erty may lead her to something worse
There is an awful warning in that
despairing cry. TOO late-too later
