QUINCY, H., September 1.-THE United
States grand jury here today returned
joint indictments against the Illinois
Terminal Railroad Company and the IL
linois Glass Company of Alton for al
legged frauds in transoontinental ship
ments.
The grand jury has been at work on
the cases for several days and the matter
was presented by L. B. Johnson of Wash
ington, attorney for the interstate COM
merce commission.
There are twelve counts in the indict-
ment. The Illinois Terminal railway is
also specifically indicted under six counts
for doing interstate commerce business
without filing schedules with the interstate
commerce commissioners.
1t is intimated that the terminal railway
company received through shipments
from the Indiana gas belt and that cars
were sent out by them at the glass works
at Alton.
and glass stock and then reloaded cars
with their own shipments consigned to
other parties on the Pacific coast and in
this way benefited IL cents a hundred at
the expense of western roads.
These are the first cases of the kind
brought by the interstate commerce COM
mission and much Importance is attached
to the outcome. The cases will probably
be heard at Springfield. as Judge Hum

members of the American colony, and It
is safe to say that if Mr. Roosevelt re-
ceives invitation to call upon tho
kaiser and accepts 1t, he will receive a
reception that will cast into the shadow

A very strong attachment was formed
between the kaiser household and Mr..
Roosevelt's eldest daughter, Alice, when
she visited Berlin on two occasions, and
at each visit it is known, the kaiser eX-

Hearst Declares Bryan Promised
Him Support for Presidency in
1912 for His Aid in This
Campaign.

CUMBERLAND. Md, September 10
William ]. Bryan will not permit himself
to be drawn into any personal discussion
with William r. Hearst in connection
with the latter's statement, made in At
lanta last night. and again today, that
Bryan had asked the support of Hearst
in the present campaign. promising in re-
turn his support of Hearst in 1912.
There is nothing to say" said Bryan,
except that the statement of .dr. Hearst
is absolutely false in every particular.
Il met him at his house. and also at
last fall or winter. But at neither place,
nor anywhere else, was there any con-
versation which, by any possibility, could
be distorted into such proposition.
Hearst Says It Again.
ATLANTA, Ga, September 12.-Wil-
liam Randolph Hearst when shown
Bryans denial of Hearst's statement
that Bryan. four months ago. proposed to
turn for Hearst's support in this cam
pagn. made the following statement:
Il do not see why Mr. Bryan Is always
proposing policies that he has to recant.
saying things that he has to retract and
doing things that he has to deny.
When Mr.. Bryan came to New York
some four months ago 1 did not call
upon him, l had nothing to see him
about. He did call on me, as he appar-
emily had something to see me about.
Il kept his visit a secret But Mr..
Chanler. in a suit brought against me,
stated in his affidavit that he had seen
Mr. Bryan at my house, and the visit
was inadvertently made public His
visit was without result, as I purposely
avoided politics.
Hearst Feels Bad About It.
Shortly after / received an invitation
from friend of mine to dinner. When
I went to the dinner I found Mr. Bryan
there.
After the dinner Mr. Bryan stepped
aside with me in the hall and said ex-
actly what 1 said he did.
Il wish he had not said it, l was sur
prised and Inundated by the PROPOSE
ton.
1T showed that Mr.. Bryan had no ap-
probation or conception of the work
had done for him. 1t showed that he
considered me merely a trader working
for some personal advantage of pro-
motion in politics.

the burning of peat beds at Norway,

The grayness of the air was at first

Everybody on the Olivette seemed so
happy tat tomorrow had been scheduled
for rest up at Deer Park that there
was a unanimous burst into song. The
newspaper men on the train have very
we'll trained and elastic musical tet-
that is, sometimes it's quart sometimes
a quint and sometimes an oct. But
always it is good. Tonight Mr.. Bryan
hal retired before the singing started. but
! am told that usually he's right on hand
and lends his splendid voice To the chorus.
The principal song that was sung to-
night went this way in jig time-don I
forget the jig time:
Oh, a woman cried
In accents wild.
Fireman fireman, save my child
He dashed up the ladder.
Up the ladder he ran,
But the child was bigger than the fire
man"
That's an intellectual little thing. isn't
it? But the reason for il is easily under
stood. After barking To the various fat al
republican melodies that affect these
United States all day and every day. and
bearing up under the recital of numberless
political crimes of all kinds, something
frothy and pleasantly insane is practically
necessary a mental tonic. Yes?

FAILURE OF BOOTH & co.
CHICAGO BANKERS ISSUE SIGN
ED STATEMENT ON AFFAIRS.

CHICAGO, September 12-Revelations
of sensational nature were made public
today regarding the failure of a. Booth
& Co., the $4,000. coo fish, game and sea
food corporation, which was placed in the
hands of receiver Thursday.
That the concerns books have been
juggled for a period extending back at
least three years is charged in circular
sent out by the interested bankers, who
also set forth that in the company S
statements 81 100000 had been deducted
fro mthe liabilities and the books made
to balance by similar Juggling in the as
set column.
By reason of this manipulation, it is al
legged, the corporation had been enabled
to float paper that otherwise might not
have been accepted by the purchasers.
So serious are the various charges that it
was freely predicted the failure would
reach the criminal courts.
Members of the Booth family are said
to be in no way involved in any of the
questionable transactions. They are said
to have been the heaviest losers by rea-
son of the acknowledgement of others in
whom they had imposed confidence.
The statement of the bankers bears
the following signatures: The First Ma
tional Bank of Chicago. by +. o. Wet
more, vice president; the Corn Exchange
National Bank of Chicago, by Ernest A.
Hamill. president; the Continental Ma
tloiidi Eoduh VI Lineage, DN

cial National Bank of Chicago, by Joseph
T. Talbert, vice president.
Hundred Banks Hold Notes.
1t was declared by one of the members
of the committee that through the mac
curate statements every bank that has
bought Booth & Co.'S notes in the last
year has been misled There are in all
more than one hundred banks through
out the country that hold the company's
paper.
"A. l.. Booth & Co" the bankers
statement says. Uniformed US that the
increased liabilities shown. compared
with the company's previous statements.
were caused by the manipulation of the
figures in the annual reports for the three
or four years ending April 30. 1907, and
that in the statement of the latter date
there had been deducted $l.2O,GnO from
the liabilities and a similar amount from
the assets to make the statement bal
ance."
