FAVORED MATCH
THAT ENDS BADLY
FOR HER DAUGHTER
PittSburg Friends Knew
That British Marriage
Was Unhappy.

PITTSBURG, Jan. 4.-MTs. William
Thaw, mother Of the Countess Of Var
mouth. is severely I'll from shock which
caused her to take 10 her bed when
she learned that the countess had de-
termlned TO sue for divorce from the
Earl Of Yarmouth.
While the news was expected by Mrs.
Thaw, the actual announcement added
too much 10 the strain the aged woman
has endured since her son Harry killed
Stanford White. Stories of extreme
cruelty on the part Of the titled hus-
band have been circulating in Pittsburg
for some time-iu fact, it was known
by intimate friends of the Thaw family
that d divorce was only awaiting the
final decision In the case of Harry
Thaw
The countess consented 70 postpone
her action so as not TO add to the great
notoriety the family was forced to en-
dure. That she has determined not to
wait is taken to indicate that there have
been some extraordinarily violent quar-
reIs, and that consulting with the mem
bers Of the Thaw family, she was ad-
vised to proceed against the earl with
out delay.
1t is known that the mother of the
countess looked on The marriage with
great favor, and that her disappOint-
ment upon hearing the marriage was
unhappy caused her constant worry.
This grief and the present plight OF
her son has caused a severe nervous
shock, which alarms her friends and
physician.

lowed by Call for IN
diana Militia.

AIUNCIE, Ind, Jan. 4-Three bat
talions Of the Indiana National Guard
arrived here this morning and were al
once put on patrol duty along all Of the
Muncie car lines. The Union Traction
Company at once announced il was
ready 10 begin running all of its cars
and 100 strike-breakers, who arrived
from Chicago today, were put 10 work.
Troops were detailed to ride on the
cars and ordered to shoot to kill If
violence was attempted The soldiers
have forty rounds of ammunition eacn.
Sympathszers of the strikers showed
anger at the appearance Of troops OH
the streets The people had been led
to believe that no troops would be called.
However, early today a conference was
held ard resolutions adopted calling
for troops.
Maj Gen W. J. Mckee. Of the IN
diana National Guard, is in command.
The first car left the car barn at a.
m. with 4 half dozen guardsmen aboard
People lined the streets as the cars
passed to see the soldiers, but no viO-
lence was attempted. At intervals OF
a few minutes other cars were started
from the barns and by 9 o'clock cars
were running on all lines.
The first companies of the guard, from
Indianapolis. arrived here a. O'Clock
Other companies from other GOWNS con-
tinLCd to pour IN during the morning.
The downtown streets were literally
alive with soldiers.
The burning OF a few sheds OF the
traction company at midnight was the
chief reason for bringing the troops
mere.
The strikers have remained in their
meeting hail and ha- not Ventured on
the street They have had no part in
the demonstration. They voted TO re-
main indoors until quiet is restored.
However they have issued an appeal
to the public not TO ride on the cars.
and the public is complying. Not a pas
senEer has paid fares on q MunCie street
car since the strike began.
The strike resulted from the refusal
of the street car company to renew the
five year contract with its employees on
its expiration

While incarcerated in a cell in the
Fourth precinct on a charge Of vagrancy,
Mary Israel. wife OF Private J. Israel
OF the regular army, died OF acute aIco-
holism early this morning.
The woman was arrested early last
evening and charge OF vagrancy was
placed against her at he police sta
tiOn. About II o'clock she was taken
sick and hurried to the Emergency
Hospital for treatment. She was later
returned 10 the station and appeared 10

Through the orders Of President
Roosevelt. the Department Of Justice
today fired a broadslde Of denunciation
at President Ripley, Of the Atchison,
Topeka, and Santa Fe. and other officers
OF his road. in response TO Ripley's re-
cent structures upon the Government and
the court in rebate cases, in which the
Santa Fe was fined $310000 at Los An
geles. Cal
Ripley's charge that the investigation
was "a general inquisitiOn," that the
proceeding were frivolous and vexa-
tious," and that they originated in III
will toward the company" is directly
met by the Attorney General, IN a re-
port to the President. which says:
1T has been the consistent policy Of
the department to discourage and. as
far as possible, prevent newspaper con-
trOversies between subOrdinates and
those whose enmjty they might incur
through the faithful discharge OF their
public duties. and its course IN this in
stance has been in accordance with this
policy.
Charges Are UnwaTTanted.
But I feel it my duty TO say that the
charges made by the officers and coun-
sci Of this corporation against the
United States Attorney in connection
with the matters in the present report
appear TO have been unfounded and un-
justihable, and the comments and sug-
gestions contained In Mr.. Ripley's let
ter regarding the judge who tried and
sentenced his corporation, constitute
unwarrautabIe reflections upon a jr.di-
cial officer, respecting the discharge OF
llS duties as such, which are wholly in
defensible, both in form ana substance.
and deserve she condemnation of all
citizens sOHCitiOus to protect the dignity
and independence Of our courts"
To Ripley's question as 10 what in
centive the Santa Fe's clerk. the in
former in the case, had TO violate his
strict orders from his superiors to con
form to the law" the Attorney Gen
eral tactly replies:
1T Is certainly possible. and, on the
whole, seems probable. that the jury
may not have believed that the clerk
in question had any such strict orders
10 conform TO the law and therefore.
did not violate the orders which his
superiOrs had never given him.

REPORT TO CHIEF
Replies to Charges of Persecution Made by Ripley
and Tells President Company's Own Records
BeIed Testimony it Offered

IF such was in fact their belief. Il
was, of course. needless for them to
speculate as to what Incentive he might
or might not have had for a diso1edi-
ence Of which they did not believe him
guilty"
In his final summing up of the case.
Attorney General B0naparte makes the
following grave charges;
1T appears:
THAT the defendant corporation was
accused by one Of It's former employees,
whose enmity it had incurred by caus-
ing his prosecution for a criminal Of
fense, of committing 4 long series Of
violations Of tic interstate commerce
law.
THAT its course. while these charges
were under investigation, was disingen-
uOus, obstructive, and suggestive OF
conscious guilt
THAT IL was indicted by the grand
jury for seVenty-siX such violations upon
evidence obtained from its own records,
although, according u its statement
and the testimony Of It's officers, n large
part OF the records which might have
shown many further violations of Jaw
had been burned, the circumstances uu-
uer which the destruction of these rec
OTds was asserted being, to say the
least, very suspicious.

Of No. I from any blame. He said:

Therefore, we should be very careful as to what beverage we par take. Goodness knows that lnloX- icating drinks are just what all good Christians should not use, partlcu- larly in the good old summer time. And "soda" with the different fiavors is almost as bad. Now, if you take our advice you'll drink fresh churned buttermilk, and kindly remember We receive it fresh every day. We refer VOL to any of the hundreds Of peo- pie who drink the kind we sell as to the quality we dispense.
