BIG WAD" HAD TO
Be HANDED OUT
Witness in Capitol Graft Case
Tells Story.

Harrisburg, Penna., Feb. 13.-The
climax in the state capitol conspiracy
trial was reached yesterday after
noon, just before the commonwealth
closed. when Stanford B. Lewis, as
sistant to Architect Joseph NJ Hus-
ton, declared on the witness stand
that Contractor John H. SandersOn.
one of the defendants, complained that
he did not want to cut down his bills
because he had to put up big wad
for other people"
Lewis also said that the letter
which he produced with the explana-
ton that it was responsible for his be-
ing indicted for conspiracy. had been
written and brought to him by form
err Auditor-General Snyder, a defend
ant, for his signature, in which Lewis
was made to say he had certified to a
bill for $1S7,7S7.20 paid to the Penn
sylvania Construction Company for
metallic filing cases which he had
found correct.

FRANKFORT SLAYER
IS mot GUILTY.
After One Hour Jury Returns a
Verdict.

Frankfort, Ind, Feb. 13.-After be-
ing out little more than one hour the
jury in the case against Policeman
Benjamin Martin, charged with man
slaughter, reported a verdict OF not
guilty. When the court house bell
rang a signal that the jury had agreed
upon a verdict there was rush for the
court room. The big court room was
filled with a struggling mass of PEG
pie so densely packed that Bailiff Ba-
ker had TO force a way for the passage
of the jurors to their boxes.
The defendant sat with his attorneys
with a confident look on his face as
the short time which the jury had been
out convinced him and almost every
one else that the verdict was in his IA
vor.
When the verdict was read and Mar
tin realized that he was a free man he
broke down and wept. His family
was about him.

PENN. STOCKHOLDERS
The Year 1907 Showed an In
crease in Women and For
eign Shareholders.
IMPORTANCE OF EARNINGS.

According to figures given out by
the Pennsylvania Railroad company,
to show the Importance of the net
earnings of a railroad to a large num-
Der of people, the shareholders in the
PENNSYLVANIA company, January l.,
numbered 57,226. an increase OF 1870
for the year 1907. During the year
the average holding decreased from
$50 shares to 10 shares. The number
of women stockholders increased from
1922 to 26.471, while the number of
European investors in the stock grew
from 1853, December 81, 1906, to g.
149 one year later. The increase in
total holders for the month of Decem-
Der. 1907, was 1881.
A compilation also has been made
which shows that in the companies
controlled and directed by the Penn
sylvania Railroad company there are
for the lines east OF Pittsburg I'LL
shareholders. and in the companies
west OF Pittsburg 9.6S2 holders OF
stock. These make a total Of 20,I9G
holders in all the subsidiary compan-
les. A few hundred of these holders
represent the Pennsylvania railroad
proper. but approximately 10000 are
entirely independent stockholders.
These are in addition to the 1925 in,
yestorS in The parent company.

DOWN THE ALDRicH BILL.

The Wall street masters and their
1ieutcnants in the senate and house,
have declared that it is to be the AID
rich currency bill or nothing. Far bet
ter that there be nothing than that
this odious bill be forced upon d coun-
try already staggering under the bur
den imposed TO enable the gambling
hell known as the New York stock
exchange, to continue doing business
and to give its millionaire owners
more security from the effects of their
misdeeds in time Of financial stress
and panic Some people have been
misled into thinking that Senator
Aldrich offered his bill for the bene-
fit of the entire country. Not 50. He
has been too long in the good graces
of the Standard Oil trust to think OF
deserving that heavenly corporation
now. Besides he is the grandfather Of
John d. Rockefeller's grandson. Bonds
such as these are not broken for the
benefit of the mere people Of the Unit
ed States. The republican party would
be better off if it would not press cur
rency legislation at this session of
congress. 1t can better afford to go
before the people for approval at the
coming election with no money cur
rency measure passed, than to go be-
fore them with the bad odor Of the
Aldrich bill trailing after. Congress-
man Watson Of this district would do
well if he were careful in exercising
his duties as whip" not to help push
this bill. To do so will simply line
him up with the Wall street gang and
what democrats and republicans alike
will do to Watson in that case if he
secures the nomination for governor,
will be a plenty. The Sixth district
is against Aldrich currency legisla-
ton and Congressman Watson as our
representative must heed our desires.

Muncie. Ind, Feb. 1G.-At the regu-
lar meeting of the Muncie CONNER
cial club. preparations were made to
assist the Chicago, Cincinnati &
Louisville railroad in its attempt to
compel the Vanderbilt roads, repre-
scented here by the Lake Erie & West
ern and the Big Four, to exchange

L. The new York Central has served
notice that after March l, it will not
interswitch with the c., c. & l.. The
supposed cause in the great increase
in the freight business OF the c, {. &
L. and the warfare that is being made
by the New York Central lines against
all competitors along its way.
The Commercial club. which several
years ago faced a similar situation
and which then was able to secure a
revocation of the New York Central 5
orders, resolved last night 10 use its
good offices again in the interest OF
peace before invoking the aid OF the
state authorities and courts. II the
clubs efforts should fail. however, the
matter will be officially taken before

sion for adjustment The commission
recently ordered the Pennsylvania
railroad 10 exchange switching priv
ileges at Marion with other roads.
