Heart Breaker
is Found, Guilty
Charles E. Nord, Who Made Love to
Many Women and Robbed Them,
Draws Five Years.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, May 13,-Charls
F. Nord, a real estate broker, accused of
winning the love OF number of women
in various cities including New York and
Chicago, and inducing them to part with
III cir money, was today sentenced to five
years in the penitentiary. He was
charged with obtaining money under false
pretenses from Mrs. Carrie Hamilton, a
mill ler formerly of Frankfort. Kan,
by making false pretenses. The SEN
tence imposed by Judge Latshaw was the
maximum penalty.
When Nord was arrested glowing letters,
addressed to him from women in dozen
different states reaching from New York
to New Mexico were found in his trunk.
In almost every instance the writer be-
tween words OF love spoke OF money ad-
vanced to Nord and Of deals which he was
supposed to be conducting for them. Many
of the letters were published. Then num-
bers of the women worte the local author
tiles denouncing Nord and asserting that
he had not dealt squarely with them in
matteIs of love as well as OF money.
The charge on which Nord is being tried
is that preferred by Mrs. Carrie Hamil-
ton, a milllner formerly of Frankfort Kan.
Mrs Hamilton today testified that Nord
had persuaded her to sell her home and
her millinery store, giving the proceeds TO
him for investment in a food preserving
company In which he said he was inter-
ested. II never received the stock" said
Mrs Hamilton, land afterwards /. learned
that no such company ever existed"

KANSAS CITY TURNED DOWN
Commissioner Clark Hands Out a
Decision Against Kawville.
OMAHA NOW HAS EQUAL SHOW
Interstate Commissioner Sets Out
Doctrine that Distance Alone as
Measure of Rates Would
BE Clearly Unjust.
oFrom a staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, May 13.-Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Clark, in an opinion
handed down today, dismissed the COM
plant of the Kansas City transportation
bureau of the Commercial club against
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Rail
way company and others.
In the opinion rendered tc day Commits
sioner Clark says: proportional rates OH
grain coming from beyond the Missouri
river are the same to Mississippi river
crossings from Omaha and from Kansas
City via ALI lines, Proportional rates on
grain from Omaha TO Cairo and other
Ohio river crossings to Memphis, to Caro-
lima territory and to New Orleans. Gal
weston and other gulf ports. for export,
are cent per 100 pounds higher than from
Kansas City. Complainant, representing
grain dealers at Kansas City, alleges that
this adjustment is unjustly discriminatory
against Kansas City, in that It does not
give full recognition of the shorter dis
tance from Kansas City to St Louis and
points southeast thereof.
I'm a case OF this kind there must be
an examination and consideration of the
entire rate from point Of production to
to consider rates to an intermediate mar
ket nor alone the rates from such market,
if the question of discrimination between
such markets is TO be determined
adoption of distance alone as the meas
ure of rates from points of origin to the
primary market would necessarily result
in clear division of territory between
markets and would be destructive of com
petition in most of that territory. 1t would
destroy the long-established adjustment
which places Missouri river crossings on
parity in both inbound and outbound
rates on traffic generally. Giving to Kan
sas City all the advantage that could come
TO It from mileage adjustment would give
1t a monopoly of territory in which Omaha
now freely competes with Kansas city,
and the application of the same rule to
Omaha would give it exclusively a pur-
chasing power in territory in which Kan
sas City now competes with Omaha on
equal terms"

Are Seeking Sam LaSvren-

MARYVILLE, Mo-, May 13.-(Special Tel
egram. )-James Griffin of Council Bluffs
was arrested here last night on a techni-
cal charge of gambling. Sheriff Tison of
this (Nodaway) county is of the opinion
that Griffin and Fred Smith, arrested here
Monday night are members of the May
bray gang. One is the same man who had
charge OF the Maybray fake race horse
at the time 1t was quartered here last
fall and while the gang were making this
town their headquarters, employed a force
of stenographers and piloted the pair in
their dealings here. They went to Picker
ing Mo, six miles from Maryville, on May
and purchased a team of mules from
George Ripley. OF the purchase price of
slS5 only $50 was paid down. Ripley was to
deliver the animals at Pickering the next
morning, Sunday The pair left some fine
whisky with Ripley and he was intoxicated
when he went to town on Sunday morning.
He ives accompanied by his wife. Griffin
and Smith lured him into a poker game
in the brick yards and took $50 from him.
Mrs. Ripley raided the game at this time
and slapped Smith over. Her husband had
fled during the onslaught on Smith Mrs.
Ripley then secured the young team OF
mules and drove back to the farm. Smith
and Griffin then replevned the team, but
Ripley put up an indemnifying bond for
them and stin has the money in his pos
session.
Smith was arrested here Monday night,
and the Maybray gang tout in trying to
secure bond for Smith gave away the de
tails of a similar game which was played
on Alvin Abbott OF Elmo, near here. In
the case of Abbott the gang secured the
$50 they had paid him for the team two
checks for $3.50 each and one for S35. Alb
bott stopped payment on one OF the $50
checks, which were made out to Sam Law
renson OF Council Bluffs. and by him en-
dorsed and cashed. Warrants and extra
dition papers are out for Lawrenson. Smith
was held here in the hope that Griffin
would come back to go on his bonds.
Griffin did so and as he stepped from the
Wabash train here last night he was ar
rested. He had 5000 on his person at the
time. He was required to give an $500
cash bond for the release of himself and
Smith Both then left for Council Bluffs.

be exacted In a gambling case in Missouri

Big Decrease
in Fatalities
on Railroads
statistician Thompson Finds Silver
Lining Under Recent Finan-
cial Clouds.

CHICAGO. May 13-There was a silver
lining under the financial clouds OF 19C7-0S
in the form Of a remarkable decrease In
the number Of railroad fatalities, accord
ing to a special report made public today
by slawson Thompson editor of Bureau
of Railway News and Statistics. The re-
port, which is based on statistics of the
Interstate Commerce commission, says:
There we're 1882 fewer fatalities to pas
sengers and employees in railway accidents
during the calendar year 1903 than in 1907.
Comparing the returns Of lS0S with those
Of the fiscal year 1861. the decrease In
fatalities was even more gratifying, being
2,173 or 434 per cent. OF these the de-
crease in passengers killed was from $40
TO 2g2 OF nearly 4sS per cent, and IN en-
ployes from 4,4sO 10 25s5. or 4S per cent 4"
Fatalities to passengers in train acct
dents decreased 70 per cent in the calendar
year 1905 as compared with the fiscal
year 1867. and 81 per cent among en-
ployes hurt in the same class of accidents
This decrease among employees is qualified
by the fact that during the panic their
ranks were reduced by Is per cent laying
orr
"All things considered" the report con-
tinues, "the conclusion is unavoidable that
the marked dimunition I'm fatalities in 1908
was due almost entirely to the recession
in freight traffic, which took the strain
off every department Of service and sub
stituted orderly observance OF rules by
passengers and employees for the violation

illuminated in October. 1907. Like condi-
tions produced like results before and after

Mr.. Thompson notes that the railroads
Of Great Britain went through the year
1908 without killing single passenger in
a train accident.

BLOOD-MAKlNG
TONIC TREATMENT
A Cure for Anaemio Conditions
That Is Showing Remarkable
Proofs of Cures In Stub
born Cases.

When the body becomes run down,
either as a result of overwork, worry or
a severe illness, an examination of the
blood would show it to be weak and
watery. This condition is called ane-
mic, which is the medical term for
"bloodless. The common symptoms
are paleness of the lips, gums and cheeks,
shortness of breath and palpitation of
the heart after the slightest exertion,
dull eyes and loss of appetite. Anemia
itself is dangerous disease and it may
gradually pass into consumption. 1t
must be cured by treating its cause,
which is the poor condition of the blood.
The vital fluid must be made strong
and healthy thereby enabling it to carry
the necessary nourishment TO every
tissue of the body.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are the
greatest builder Of rich, new blood and
they have been curing anemia and 9TH
or blood diseases for nearly a genera
tion, during which time they have
come to be recognized as an invaluable
household remedy. The statement OF
Mrs. Gland Moore, who lives about six
miles from Defiance, shows how these
pills cure cases that stubbornly resist

COST OF LIVING.
Expected to Advance Thirty Per
Cent. In Ten Years.

Expected to Advance Thirty Per
Cent. In Ten Years.
According to Prof. Joseph French
johnson, dean OF the New York uniyer-
sity's school Of commerce and finance,
in 10 years the people of this country
will have to pay about 80 per cent
more to live than they do to-day. He
bases his conclusions on the past per-
formances in the purchasing power Of
money, which, he says, has alarming
ly decreased in the last 10 years, until
now one has to pay about A per cent
more for commodities than in 1891
Figures prepared by Prof Johnson
are embodied in the record of the Gov
ernment's case against the Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey, for Pror.
Johnson was one of the witnesses call
ed by the Standards lawyers q few
weeks ago to tell how the price of oil
has not kept pace with the gradual in
crease of almost every article the pup
lie is Obliged to buy.
The onclusion-reached by Pror.
Johnson after several months Of inves-
tigation-is that the end of the steady
increase IN the price of commodities
is not yet, and that, unless all signs
fail, the consumer in this country VIII
be taxed even more heavily for the
necessities OF life for many years to
come. He blames it all on the plent.
tude of gold.
I'm the next 10 years prices viii go
up as steadily as they have been doing
during the last 10 years" said Prof
| Johnson when asked for his views On
the probable trend of commodity
prices in the future. This Is my be-
| lief, founded on a political econo-
| mist's experience. From 1897 to 1907
prices jumped A per cent. l believe
that in 1918 we shall see prices ad-
vanced to so per cent above the prices
quoted in 1897.
THE wages of the workingmen will
not rise in the same proportion. That
is a law of political economy. The
workingman will find himself pinched
in pocket. The tremendous increase in
the worlds supply of gold has rem
dered capital here and abroad easy to
obtain. With increased loans interest
will rise, and then up will go commod-
tiles.
THE fact, however that wages will
not rise proportionately does not meal
that there will be any lack of employ,
ment. With gold so plentiful map'fac-
Mrers will enlarge their plants ana in.
crease their forces. The army of labor
Will keep pace with the demand for It
but wages can't rise with the increase
of lSborers hired. Such. at least, is my
conclusion"
