mands. Majors, my friend, had duly
investigated their complaints and con-
sidered their demands and had found
that there vas virtue in neither, but
that both were inspired by labor
agitators who saw a chance to advance
their own selfish interests by bringing
about a difficulty between the road and
its employees. The demands had been
refused and the men had gone out on
strike.
Majors had come up from the ranks
himself and had every sympathy for
the men until he had convinced him
self that they were in the wrong. Once
convinced on this point, he had bowed
his neck and refused to treat with
them further unless they returned to
work Internationally. The men knew
his determined character and they
realized that he meant just what he
had said. l believe they would have
discontinued the strike, so popular
was Majors with the men and SO well
was his honesty known, if it had not
been for the activity Of a walking dele
gate of the trainmen's union.
Another obstacle to a settlement of
the trouble was the president of the
road. He was a wealthy mine owner,
and one of the best paying properties

To most persons in the temperate
zones a banana is a banana. But the
truth Is that there are over 60 known
varieties of the fruit, with as great,
or greater variation in character as in
the different kinds Of apples. Hawaii
is said to have something over 40 dis

YoAkuM, HAWLEY AND SPEYlR GET THE MISSOURI, KANSAS

Railroad Will Still Continue to Be Operated On the Independent Line-A. A. Allen to
 Manage It.

Nv York, Oct, 13.--Edwin Hawfey' B. F. Yoakum, chairman of the exec ntive committee of the Rock lslald' Frisco systems, and James Speyer, the New York banker, have obtained control of Lae issouri, Kansas City & Texas Rairoad, according to One Tribune, today. Under the new re gime. 1t is said A. A. Allen. of St. Louis. vice president and general manager of the road will be elected to succeed Adrian Joline. as president and chairman O. the board of direc' tors.
 The road w1l continue to be oper- ated as an independent line, although i. will be under the joint control of the Rock Island and the Hawley sys- tsms.
 The NJ, K. & T., generally referred to as the "Ktay," extends over total of 3.o72 miles running from Kansas City and St, Louis through Missouri, Kansas Oklahoma and Texas to the gulf at Galveston and also has branches to Shreveport. La, and to San Antonio. The change in the control of the road has been talked of for some time and reflected in the market The common sock of the road was heavily dealt in yes terday, showing an advance of 1 Is points during the day.
 Being parallel to the Rock Island system, 1t cannot be absorbed by that system because of the Federal legislation against such a merger, but it will afford the Hawley system a dinact connection with the gulf from St. Louis and Kansas City It is the last of the so-called North and South roads to pass under the control of larger systems.
 Fer years the control of the Katy stock has been held abroad. principal. ly in Holland and England, and James Speyer has voted the extensive hoii. ing of Amsterdam interests and Eng. fish stockholders either directly or Tn directly for some time past.

MEN INDICTED FOR THE MURDER OF WAYcAsEY AND ROB-
 BINS IN THIS CITY.
Special venire of 100 Jurors Has Been Issued and Will Respond This Morning to Be
 Passed On.

The charges of murder in the first degree against Rufus and Nick Wheat ley, brothers, charged jointly with the murder of Murt Waycasey and Bud Robbins in a billiard parlor in South Hot Springs about seven months ago, will be taken up in circuit court promptly this morning.
 Judges C. V. Taegue and Thu4ston Farmer will represent the defendants and Prosecuting Attorney Means will be assisted by Judge Cobb, Col. Hen. derspn. and probably other counsel.
 A special venire for 100 jurors was issued several days ago by Clerk Wilmington, under the direction of Circuit Judge Evans, and these will respond this morning to be passed on as jurors in the case.
 Because of the parties all being we'll known both in the city and county. it may be hard to secure a jury, and the first day at least will probably be devoted to this work.
 About seven months ago Rufus and Nick Wheatley went to billiard and pool parlor in South Hot Springs SUD- posedly fo adjust a difficulty that grew out of a son of one of the Wheat ieys being put out of the place earlier In the evening. The shooting fol. lowed. Murt Waycasey and Bud Rob bins were both killed almost instant ly One died under billiard table. and the other was removed across the street to drug store, where he ex- pired in about fifteen minutes.
 A coroner's jury investigated the killing and the Wheatleys were held without bond, but later made bonds after habeas corpus, and obtained their release. The shooting took place before the last term of circuit court, but was postponed after agree ment between counsel for the state and the defense.
 The WheaEleys and the two slain men are both well known in the coun- try where most murder trial iuries are taken from. and in order to be sure of a jury Judge Evans ordered a special venire of 100 names drawn rom every section of the county m the hope of securing at least twelve men acceptable both to state and de. fense in tr trial.
 There is less community nreipdica III 'ne case than usually follows a tragedy or double tragedy, and there will probablv be no effort made oy the defense ito avoid immediate trial here this morning when the case is called.

 Schwab declared he knew nothing about the character of his passenger today and that he had suspected nothing until he saw him take to his heels after leaving the bank.
 Keeleyn told the authorities to- night how Wilson had gained his confidence in talk at the hotel Wednesday night, relating to him in. cidents of his life in the west with which he was familiar.
 He told Keeleyn that his home was in San Francisco. Today when he sought to hire an automobile Keeleyn suggested that he take his. Keeleyn also loaner him his fur automobile coat, which the robber was wearing when he shot himself. In the pocket of the coat later were found cards bearing the names of Lee Harrison and McBrayer Harrison.
 These are believed to be aliases of the dead man as Keeleyn asserts the cards were not in the coat when he lent 1t to Wilson.
 Schwab is still held by the author ities pending the inquest.
