Lots of Water.

Thomas F. Ryan, big politician
of New York, and a prominent street
railway magnate of that city, re-
Gently gave to a grand jury before
which he was testifying, some in
teresting information concerning
the construction of both street and
steam railways. Claiming to know
what he was talking about he
averred that the stock Of all street
and steam railways constructed in
this country previous to the year
1885 contained water to the amount
of 95 per cent, the 5 per cent. repre-
senting the cash advanced by pro-
moters of railway projects for pur-
poses of organization. He names
a number of great railway systems
whose promoters never invested
dollar in railway building, but who
by issuing and manipulating stocks
and bonds, and securing immense
grants of land have become great
railway kings upon watered stocks
which never cost them cent. 1t is
a we'll known fact that all railway
companies are demanding dividends
upon heavily watered stock, but
their worst enemies have never
placed the proposition at 95 per
cent. OF water to per cent. of cash.
Assuming Mr.. Ryan's figures to be
correct, the railway companies need
not go into bankruptcy at the two
cent passenger rate of fare.

Plates From Her Head Are
Found In Ashes of
Burned House.
LARGE CROWDS WATCH
PROCESS OF SLUICING

La Porte, Ind, May 19.-In sluic-
ing the ashes of the burned farm
house on the Guinness farm today the
upper and lower plates which Mrs
Guinness had I'm her mouth and for
which Sheriff Smutzer has been
searching. were found and the plates
were positively identified oy a dentist
who made one of them. Sheriff
shutter considers this as positive
proof that the woman is dead and
further search for her will probably
be discontinued.
Large crowds were at the farm to-
day to watch the progress OF the sluic-
ing, for it was thought probable that
the evidence for which the sheriff was
searching would be forthcoming. The
finding of gold teeth believed to be
from Mrs. Guinness head partially
convinced the officials that the wom-
an had perished in the fire. and the
finding OF the plates today practically
confirms this belief.

N ANUF ACTURERS TO
WAGE WAR AGAINST
ALL UNIONS
National Association In New
York FOTmuldteS Plans for
Organized Fight.
LABORERS ARE NOT
ALARMED BY PROJECT

New York, May ia determined
warfare on all labor unions, which
will have the support of the 5000
members of the National Association
of Manufacturers, representing an
aggregate capital of fifteen billion
dollars, will soon be commenced. This
action was determined upon at to-
days session of the association, which
is holding its annual convention at
he Waldorf Astoria. Political meth
DDS will be used by the manufactur-
ers in the fight, which will inject a
new and vital issue into the presi-
dental campaign.
According to President James W.
Van Cleve, the membership of the
association is practically unanimous
in the mater of fighting the unions.
1t is alleged that of the 10000, 900
laborers in this country, less than L.
100000 are affiliated with the Am
erican Federation OF Labor, and that
any determined stand against what is
termed the tyranny" of organized
labor will receive the support of the
great majority of these unorganized
Workmen.
1t is stated that the association will
not attempt to disrupt the unions,
but will make its fight against some
OF the principles which the unions
stand for and which are obnoxious TO
capital Among these are the closed
shop, the boycott, sympathetic strikes,
apprenticeship restrictions and com
pulsory use OF the union label.
New York labor leaders are appar-
emily not alarmed by the proposed
warfare of the association and de-
clare that it is but another outburst
OF the spirit of vain antagonism to
unions which has heretofore found
feeble expression in citizens alliances
and similar bodies.

POSSES RETURN

No Trace OF Niger Arkansas" Be-
lieved to Be Leader of Gang Has
Been OffiCery Say that
Two Men Held at Ration
Give No Information.

Las Vegas, n. M, May 1.-TWO
men were arrested here today who
are believed to be implicated in the
hold-up at French last week and who
are being held pending investigation
by the officers. Ben Williams, chief
or the Santa Fe secret service, was
called here from Ration today to in
vestigate and will sweat the two sus-
poets in an effort to learn whether
they were connected with the rob
berry.
The arrest of the two men followed
their statements that they were pres
ent when the robbery took place The
officers here say that neither of the
two men was present and 1t was de-
cided that their stories were sufficient
ly conflicting to need investigating.
Deputy Sheriff Farmer claimed by
the Morning Journal and other papers
to have been arrested in connection
with the robbery, was not taken into
custody and was at liberty at Ration
at noon today. Farmer says that the
papers must retract or stand suit for
libel He claims that the use of his
name was caused by politics. He was
with a posse and was one of the most
tireless in hunting for the bandits.
The posse which went out from
Folsom on a new clue returned last
night and reported that no trace was
found of 'Nigger Arkansas" who is
believed to be the leader of the band
that held up the station at French.
Ration, n. M, May 19.--Henry Farr
and Henry stone, the two men held at
this place for completely in the
French hold-up, were sweated yester-
day by the officers but it is stated that
nothing that would throw any light on
the hold-up was learned. Farr and
Stone will probably be released.

CATHOLICS DENOUNCE
PRESENT DIVORCE LAW
Missouri Union Characterizes Diyorcs
as Polygamy in an Amended
Form.

st. Louis, May ia resolution
adopted by the Catholic Union of Mis-
souri, in session at Springfield. con-
demns the prevalence of divorces,
which IL characteriZes as polygamy.
The resolution says in part:
I'VE again direct the attention of all
good and loyal citizens to the preva-
lent confusion of mOial ideas on the
subject Of marriage. The acceptance
OF the principle of absolute divorce Is
nothing else than the acceptance of
the principle of polygamy in amended
form.
We declare and bt lieve that the
state has no power TO dissolve the
bond Of marriage. For grave causes
a separation from bed and board
should be allowed, so that children
may be protected, maintenance en-
forced and property rights tudicially
settled. The law of Missouri ought
therefore to make provision for such
separations from bed and board. SO
that whatever applicant is in con-
science opposed to absolute divorce
be not cOerced (as is now the case)
to appear i'm court as If denying his
religious convictions.
The possibility of divorce lessons
the patience OF the spouses to bear
with each other, and opens the temp
tation to produce the cause for the
very purpose of divorce, so as to be
free to contract new alliance. We
also direct attention TO this significant
fact, that race suicide Is both the
curse and the result Of secularized
marriage, which has been degraded
to a mere matter Of contract"
