Cow ViRNMENT MAY
PROBE THE CASE
UNCLE SAM MAY LOOK INTO
THAT sEABoARD AIR LINE
REcElVERsHlP.

Washington, Jan. 7-~Following a
conference which President Roose-
Welt had with Charles A. Prouty, q
member Of the interstate commerce
commission. IL is understood that
preliminary inquiries have been ini-
tiated to determine whether an in
vestigation of the Seaboard Air Line
railroads finances, management and
geceivership is justified by the CON
dition OF that property and recent
developments.
No statement has been made on
the subject Officially, and it is not
known how soon developments may
be expected 1t is regarded as sig
nificart that Commissioner Prouty
won fame as an investigator by TN
covering huge frauds of the Union
Pacific in acquiring coal lands
When the receivership was an
nounced it was at first alleged that
peace had been made between the
factions, but Developments have
since disproved this and the war b.
tween the factions is now known to
be rs bitter as ever.
It is expected that therefore some
extraordinary FRANK revelations will
soon be forthcoming of the methods
by which the property was wrested
from Williams and then turned over
to a holding company, the Seaboard
Company. which has $72,000,oOo au
thorized and $5o.oo0,00O issued cap

LIKELY THAT COUNTY Will.
HAVE TO AGAIN ADVERTISE !.
FOR BUYERS.
CLEVELAND FIRM BACKS OUT


The county commis
problem before them lust at present
which they do mot knew exactly
how to solve. and though the matter
has been discussed ON various oe-
casions by the board, it is not yet
known what viii be the final result
AS is well known. when the com
missioners advertised for bids for
the $4,000 bond issue authorized by
the county, there were two or three
bids received After going over
them carefully the one of w. J. Hays
& Sons. of Cleveland. Ohio, was ac-
cepted
The necessary papers were signed
up long since. but the money was
never forthcoming. Several letters
were exchanged between the commits
sioners and the Cleveland banking
firm. but nothing definite could be
learned
Finally, however, letter came
from Hays & Sons, announcing that
they desired to withdraw the bid.
The firm put up various reasons why
they had failed to live up to their
contract. claiming first that the re-
turn sheets from the election did NOT
show that bonds had been carried;
then they put up the plea that the
bonds were not sold at par, ana other
reasons were given
At present. it seems, that the mat
ter now stands as far from j settls
ment as it ever did, and though the
commissioners are still ii cores
pondence with sthe Cleveland con
Germ ii is not believed that ths
money will be forwarded by them.
At the meeting Of the commission
er3 yesterday morning this matter
was taken up and discussed but moth.
ing definite was decided The board
is now awaiting reply from the
concern in answer to letter writ
ten few days ago.
II is more than likely that it
will be necessary to again advertise
for bids for the bonds. which will
probably be done next month. The
action OF Hays & Sons has placed
the county in very embarrassing
position as the money for which the
bonds were authorized ii badly
needed. The proceedings caused an
unnecessary delay of two or three
months, as other bidders could have
been awarded the bonds had not
the Cleveland firm put in tae best
BID.

EXPERT SAYS FEAR
CAUSES HYDROPHOBIA
S.P. C. A. Agent Has Never
Seen Mad Dog.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-(SpeciaD =
Frederick w Ritschy, an agent of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals in Jersey City, was bitten
again by dog yesterday. In the eight
years he has been handling dogs he
has been bitten so many times, he
says, that he has lost the count In
his opinion a dog bite is of no import
ance unless it causes a dangerous
hemorrhage.
He was bitten twice yesterday by a
mongrel on the hand when he went
among the forty dogs in the society s
kennel in Grand Street The bites
were almost simultaneous He had
the wounds cauterized at a drug store
in Montgomery Street, near Hudson,
and was about his work until night.
Ritschy said, after he was bitten yes
terday:
''This hydrophobia scare is all i'm
agination. When a man is nipped by
a dog he worries, the worry makes
him ill, and he declares he has hydro
phobia. He is really i'll but not with

REVIVAL HAS BEEN
BROUGHT TO CLOSE
Inability to Get Another
Evangelist the Cause.

Owing to inability to secure another
evangelist to continue the revival, the
pastors and members of the Business
Mems League have decided to bring
the meeting to a close. The last SER
vice was held Wednesday night
At the close of the service on that
night it was announced that the
doors of the various churches will
be opened Sunday night for the re-
ception of new members, and the hope
was expressed that every convert at
the revival would select some church
and have his name enrolled on its
books 1t is expected that every
church in the city will secure acces-
sions in membership from the re-
Vival.
Yesterday the work of tearing down
the tabernacle was begun and today
the last bit of timber wifi be taken
away AS the crowds grew the orig
inal tabernacle was enlarged, until
its capacity was increased by so per
cent.
One notable incident in connection
with the revival was that at none
of the more than twenty-five services
held did rain interfere in the slight
est In fact, as far as the elements
were concerned, the tabernacle was
chiefly useful as a protection against
the sun. And it might also be re-
marked that it was a rare morning
that the sun was not obscured by
clouds, making the weather as pleas
ant as possible the time of year be-
ing considered.
So far as visible results of the re-
vival are concerned, the members OF
the Christian Mems Business League
are delighted. Their choice of an
evangelist in the person of Rev. Rob
ert Jones, was especially fortunate,
they believe, as the preacher did most
effective work and made a most fav-
orable impression.
