A STORMY SESSION.
President and General Manager of
Western Illinois Out.

Chicago, June 5.-During a somewhat
stormy session Of the board, lasting the
greater part of the day, B. T. Thomas
resigned as president and general man
ager of the Chicago and Western Indi-
ana Railroad company and of the Belt
Railway of Chicago. Mr.. Thomas res
ignation was totally unexpected and
was given while angered over criticism
of some of his operating methods en-
ployed on the Belt railway. The direc-
tors were all at sea as to what was
best to do w. ]. Henley, vice presi-
dent and general counsel for the COM
pany, was elected president temper
arily, and N. o. Johnson, one of the
directors, fastened to New York to
consult with the heads of some of
the railroads which form the COM
panies. 1t was limited today that there
might be a reorganization of both COM
panies and that different policy might
be inaugurated with respect to the op-
Grafton of the belt line.
Mr.. Thomas has been in the railway
service since 1865 and has been identi-
fed with the Western Indiana almost
from it's inception. The company is
made up of five roads, each of which
has representative on the board, as
follows: w. H. Lyford, Eastern ILL
nois; o. J. Johnson, Erie; w. H. Nc
Doel, Monon; C. M. Hays, Grand
Trunk; F. A. Delano, Wabash, and E.
P. Ripley, Santa Fe. The latter road
is tenant only. The company owns
a thousand acres of terminals and right
of way in this city.

BUILT TOO LIGHT.
Patrick Alexander's Criticism OF
Flying Machines.

New York, June 5.-Patrick Y. Alex
ander, the wealthy Englishman, VINO
inclines strongly to aeronautics, was
passenger on the Mauretania, having
arrived in this city last Saturday morn
ing on the Campania for Just few
days Of rest" Before leaving the city
Mr.. Alexander said:
"A man in rowing a boat pulls 70
or so pounds; in fact, with the same
kind of an arrangement as rowing
machine in a gymnasium, one man was
able to pull or lift 900 pounds. Might
it not be possible with suitable sur
faces or wings, for man to propel
himself, through the air by his own
power? We are now lifting in 10
mile wind nearly three pounds to the
square foot"
Speaking of flying machines general
ly Mr. Alexander said:
"They are being built too light to be
practical The lighter the machine, the
more easily it is cast about by the wind
puffs. The trouble abroad Is the pro
curing of motors which will run with
out overheating. Gasoline motors are
being built so light that they can not
be kept cool The machines are not
perfected to such a degree that a motor
of more weight can be carried. There
is no reason why machines should pc
built so light-there must be better
form than that generally fouoWed
Even with the present forms 1T might
be possible to generate artlhclal cur
rents of air against the planes. These
artificial currents of air would assist
in lifting the machine, would reduce
the power necessary to drive them, and
would ward off outside eddies and cur
rents which tend to defect the course
of a machine. The plan would not be
difficulty one to try out.

MO. PAC. is LEADER.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 5.-When the
passenger departments of rival rail-
roads fall out over rates, the poor traV-
eler, in these anti-pass days, gets his
due. And the man whose vacation
plans have to do with railroad fare
that includes everybody-may rejoice IN
the fact that one of those delightful
passenger rate controversies appears
to be imminent. Incidentally, there's
great SCATTERING of all those lronclad
ultimatumS of the railroads that there
would be no reduced rates TINS sum
mer. These declarations were made IN
retaliation for the two cent fare legis-
lation.
This morning one of the Kansas City
railroads, the Missouri Pacific, an
nounced a round trip rate of SO be-
tween Kansas City and St. Louis.
rate of $1,000 for the round trip be-
tween Kansas City and Salt Lake and
Ogden, and $50 round trip rate be-
tween Kansas City and Los Angeles
and other Pacific coast points. The
others will follow suit. There is also
a round trip rate or SIS on all the roads
to st. Paul and Minneapolis The reg
ular one way fare to Buffalo is $27.2O
There is now in effect a 30-day rate of
$27 40 on all roads for the round trip
between Kansas City and Buffalo.
There are no reduced rates to New
York, but there is rate, good every
Thursday, of s43.15 for the round trip
on all roads between Kansas City and
Boston.
There will be reduced rates every
where" passenger agent said this
morning. The purpose of the rail-
roads to refuse cheap summer rates
apparently has been abandoned and the
average vacation seeker can travel this
year nearly If not quite, as cheap as
in any previous year"
The ordinary traveller in making
plans last winter for his annual vaca-
ton this summer concluded that the
two cent a mile legislation would be
of some real benefit. His theory was
that the summer rates would be reduc
ed on the same basis as heretofore
one and one-third fare for the round
trip. The man who goes to Colorado
every summer looked for an announce
ment of a reduced rate for the round
trip over the rates that have been in
effect in previous years. The rate was
announced the other day. 1t was the
same old rate, $3.50 for the round trip.
Then the railroads announced that
there would be no reduced rates to
other summer resorts. But somewhere
a cog slipped in the programme and
the agreement has failed.

DEATH AND GOODBYE.
Felix Palmeri Couldn't Sail When He
Wanted to So Kills Himself.

New York, June 5.-For a fortnight
Felix Palmeri, % years old, of Wilds-
burg, had been telling his friends that
they would soon bid him farewell as
week from Saturday he would sail
for Naples. He had purchased his
steamship ticket and showed it to
many acquaintance. One of those
who saw it called Palmer1-s attention
to a point not noticed by him, that
the date of his sailing was June 10.
Palmeri fastened to the office where
he had purchased the ticker. and re-
quested that the ticket be changed to
another date or that his money be re-
funded. The clerk refused.
Then I'll die, anyway" retorted
Palmeri, land I'd rather die by a bull
let than by drowning" and before any
hand could restrain he shot and killed
himself

ONLY NECESSARY TO TREAT
THE STOMACH, SAYS COOPER

The new theory advanced by L. T.
Cooper relative to the human stomach
has attracted such widespread atten-
ton that the public in cities visited by
the young man has been Joined by many
physicians in a discussion Of his be-
iiefs and medicines.
Mr.. Cooper says that human health
is dependent almost entirely upon the
stomach. He says that no disease can
be CONQUERED without first alleviating
all stomach disorders. He further says
that most men and women OF this gen
Grafton are half-sick, owing to degen-
crate stomachs. And lastly, he claims
that his New Discovery medicine Will
rejuvenate the human stomach in 80
days.
Cooper has been travelling from one
CITY to another, conducting In each
what he calls a campaign of education
For the past year he has met the pub
lie in the larger cities of the country,
and his success has been phenomenal
thousands of people have flocked to
his headquarters wherever he has gone,
and the sale of his medicine has been

fore Witnessed
Possibly the most interesting feature
of the attention this young man has
attracted Is what his army Of follow
ers. whom he has converted to his be-
fiefs through his medicines, have to
say on the subject. The following
statements are from two we'll known
residents of Chicago and Boston, re-
spectively, and the enthusiasm of these
is characteristic of Cooper's admirers
generally.

ST. Paul, June 5.-The taking of the
testimony in the first of the railway
rate cases, that of the Northern Pa
cific railway has commenced before

the federal building today.
The point involved is the unreason-
ableness of the two cent passenger and
commodity rates established by the leg
islature and the merchandise rates fix
ed by the state railway and warehouse
commission.
The passenger and merchandise rates
are now in effect in the state, but a
temporary injunction was granted the
stockholders of the various railroads
affected prohibiting the officers of the
company from putting the commodity
rates into operation on the ground that
they were confiscatory. Judge Lochren
issued the order and he was sustained

TO DISPATCH BY PHONE. =
Lackawanna Road the Latest to Adopt
New System.

New York, June 5.-The Lacka-
wanna railroad is preparing to replace
its Geographic system of train dis
patching with the telephone. Poles
have been set and wires are being
strung on the section between Scran-
ton and Binghamton and work will
be begun on other parts of the road
as rapidly as supplies can be obtained.
The officials expect that the new sys-
tenn will be in use on the Scranton
Binghamton division and over the
whole road in year.
For some time the Lackawanna
has used the telephone largely in CIV
ing orders between the general offices
and the offices of the various divi-
sions. The telephone was found so
much more satisfactory than the tele-
graph that it was decided to use it
for dispatching also. Several western
roads have adopted the telephone sys-
tenn. Railroad men say that IN time
the telephone will supersede the tele-
graph in the dispatching of trains

ages for Eoycottinu.

Denver, July 20,-Through a de-
cision handed down by District Judge
Allen in the case of the Thompson
Marble company against President
Gompers and the officers of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor and fifty
officers and members of the Denver
building trades council the trades un-
ionists gain first blood in the battle
being waged to attempt to secure
damages from the union men in the
amount of $4,000 and to Jail some
of them for alleged boycotting. Also
the plans of George c, Manley, attor-
ney for the marble company, to have
Gompers and the officers of the Amer,
lean Federation of Labor declared -
contempt of court for failure to ap-
pear before a notatg public suffered
complete defeat.
Papers In the suit in tort were
served on Samuel Gompers, John Nit
chell, John b. Lennon and James
Duncan of the American Federation
of Labor last week when they came
to Denver to attend the meeting of
the executive council and appear be-
fore the res olutions committee of the
Democratic national convention. AS
soon as the summonses were served
ManIey subpoenaed the labor leaders
to appear before a notary public to
make dispositions as to their knowl-
edge of the case On advice of coun-
sci they decided to ignore the sub
poenas and left the city.
Judge Allen upheld the contention
of the attorneys for the labor leaders
that they were not compelled to
make dispositions in civil case on
the ground that their testimony might
tend to incriminate them in prosecu-
tions pending.

EIGHT HOURS AHEAD OF TIME
Y. M. C. A. Relay Runners Exceed
Speed Expectations.

Cleveland, July 20.-The silver
tubed message from Mayor Mcclellan
of New York to Mayor Busse of Chi
cago was carried into Ohio by the
boys of the Y. NJ. c. A. eight hours
ahead of schedule time.
At an average rate of little over
eight miles an hour the boys have
relayed the mes sage from the New
York city hall, each running, walk
ing, jumping, wading and some SWIM
ming, from a half mile to three miles.
Over six hundred boys were utilized
in conveying the silver tube to the
Ohio state line Upwards of IT'S boys
will relay the message through Ohio.
Until the tube was carried across
the Ohio state line, Just east of Con-
neaut, no break occurred except at
Fredonia, n. Y, when one of the relay
runners was stationed about three
miles further west than was expected.
Linneborn, the boy who was to have
been relieved at Fredonia, had to
make the extra run, but did 1t in
good form and no time was lost. At
Dunkirk the regular relay was re-
sumed and the message sped on un-
interrupted across the northern end
of Pennsylvania and into Ohio. The
Erie Y. M. G. A. runners carried the
message to Ashtabula, o. The Ash
tabula boys delivered the tube to the
boys of Painesville and they, in turn,
delivered the message at the Central
Y. NJ. C. A, Cleveland. Here the mes
sage was received by S. p. Fem,
president of the board of directors,
Central Cleveland Y. NJ C. A. The
boys also were met and congratulated
by Superintendent NJ. d. Cracken of
the West Side Y. NJ. c. A, who con-
ceived the relay race and carried out
the details.
