MRS. FORD AGAIN
 INDICTED BY JURY

Cincinnati, December 10.-For the first time the name of Edgar S. Cooke of Chicago has been legally connected with the Big Four railroad, for which former Treasurer Charles L. Warriner is in jail under indictment. The grand jury today returned a second indictment against Mrs Jeannette Stewart Ford, ''the woman in the case" She recently was indicted, charged with receiving stolen money, and by the true bill returned today she stands accused of blackmail.
 In the last indictment Cooke's name ap- pears in connection with charge that Warriner, when first he was made local treasurer of the Big Four, knew of shortage of s22ooo for which Cooke was responsible. The Chicago man was at that time clerk in the treasurers office Another aspect of the case. which gave rise to much curious comment. was tho fact that although Mrs. Ford is now charged with two serious criminal of lenses, she has not been arrested on the new indictment The cause for the delay in this case is put on the grounds that the woman is broken down in health and that her arrest might have serious con sequences.
 Mrs. Ford still maintains the defiant at- titude which she assumed when her con nection with the embezzlement first be- came known.
 The grand jury will continue investiga- tions, but Prosecutor Hunt will not make any statement as to whether further in- dictments are expected.

| RADICAL PLAN FOR RA|LROtD CONTROL Senator Cummins Proposes Big
 Changes In Law CONTRoVERSY IS EXPECTED Cummins Will Present His Bill to Amend interstate Commerce Act
 and Senator Elkins Will
 Also Present a Bill.
CONTRoVERSY IS EXPECTED

Washington, December 1o.-A contro- versy over railroad legislation will be precipitated in Congress this winter which in intensity of interest and gravity of importance promises to sur- pass the legislative conflict over railroad rates four years ago.
 The first gun was fired today by Sena- tor Cummins of Iowa, introducing bill proposing radical changes in the interestate commerce act. In a large sense the Cummins measure is a practical substitute for the present interstate com merce act. It is expected that meas ure proposing amendments to the exist ing law will be introduced early in Jan uary by Senator Elldns and will differ from the Cummns bill in many important details
 In brief the Cummins bill requires the interstate commerce commission to pro- mitigate uniform classification of freight and to prepare a plan for the state ment of freight rates which shall here- after be made in uniform way. The carriers are required to adopt this ciassi- fication.
 The commission is authorized to consid- CT rates on its own motion with view to determining their reesonableness and is empowered to fix maximum and mini mum rates. In any action instituted in court to set aside an order of the com mission respecting rates the courts are prevented from inquiring into the reas- onableness or sufficiency of any rate fixed by the commission.
 The bill provides that changes in rates shall not become effective until they are approved by the commission. Acquisition of control of any parallel competing line is prohibited and so is acquiring the capital stock or bonds of any other car rier that is a competitor.
 By the terms of this 8 carrier is pro- hibited from issuing any capital stock without payment at par either in money or in property. In effect the commission shall have supervision of issues of stocks and bonds by any carrier. Specific di rections are given for the subscription of proceeds of any sale of bonds.
 After January 1, 1911, no carrier doing interstate business shall be permitted to engage in any other business than that of common carrier.
 report that 1t was the purpose of cer- tain railways to establish in Washington a powerful lobby to influence railroad leg isstion is denied by important railroad officials. This reply to a message of in- quiry was received today from Vice Pres ident D. Miller of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy lines at Chicago:
 This company is not party to any arrangement to maintain a bureau for lobby work or for any other purpose, and would not be. and does not believe that any other railroad would enter into such arrangement I have made inquiry and am unable to get any information that such arrangements exist on the part of other lines. I am certain there is no foundation for the report"
 MT. Milier's reply is of the same tenor i as teiegrams from other railway of | fcials.

CONGRESS WILL
 PUNISH ZELAYA

Washington. December 10--As a prom lation, senators today introduced more than $50 bills and resolutions, covering variety of subjects. Many of these measures failed of passage during the last Congress and 90 per cent of them will receive scant consideration this ses- sion. Many are for pensions that could not be granted under the general law.
 Standing out as a striking proposi- tion was a resolution by Senator Ray ner today authorizing the President to cause President Zelaya to be appre- hended as a common criminal, charged with the murder of two Americans, en- gagged in revolutionary activity in Me aragua.
 The House was in session an hour and a half and large number of meas- ures were introduced there. The most striking feature of the proceedings in that body was speech by Represents tive Kusterman of Wisconsin, denying the charge that his interest in German shipping was so great as to cause him to antagonize bill for the relief of the American merchant marine MT Kusterman was in a jovial hunor and his speech was generally enjoyed. Sen ator Lorirner's successor in the House, William J. Moxley of Illinois, was sworn in.
 Owing to the fact that no reports have been made from committee both houses are without subjects upon which to leg islate. The Senate, therefore, adjourned until Monday and the House until Tues day.

GBRMANY'S PLANS
 ARE NOT WARLIKE

Berlin, December 10.-Addressing the Bethmann-Hoilweg reviewed briefly Ger many's foreign relations. English states men. among them Premier Asquith, in re- cent speeches had defined the re-estab- nshment of peaceful relations between Great Britain and Germany as an im- portant task of statesmanship, the chan cellor said, and he added that he could reply sincerely and with complete con- viction and in accord with these intcn- tions, that the true interests of both countries will be served to the extent that they approach each other In a reali- zation of these aims.
 In conclusion he said that certain cir cles endeavored to make appear that Germany had adventurous aims danger ous to the worlds peace, and oeclared that such aims were unknown in Ger many. Herr Won Schoen, secretary for foreign affairs, took occasion to express himself regarding the recent pan-German criticism of Count Bernstorf. the German ambassador to the United States. Herr Won Schoen in part said:
 'Tn the responsibilities of our represen- tatives abroad belongs the duty of oppos- ing imputations against our policy. where it Is observable that they injure our in- terests. Our representatives have re- ceived general instruction to repel q suspicion of our policy by their public authority and public speeches when they have reason to suppose that such fmputa- tions are made
 .'guch case is before us. It certainly has not escaped your notice that pubic oninion in America has been melted against Germany.
 "Count Won Bernstorff's speech was directed against every writer whose pub licetions are of . character to damage o,,r reputation abroad, and add difficulties to the work of our diplomacy

BROKAW DIVORCE
 CASE CONTINUES

New York, December 1o-Circumstan- tial evidence of i'll treatment with which she charges her millionaire husband, W. Gould Broksw, were continued today when the trial of Mrs. Mary Blair Bro- kaw's suit for a separation and s6o.oo0 a year alimony was resumed at Mineola.
 The big bundle of telegrams from MT. Brokaw to Mrs. Brokaw, which has figured in the case, was resorted to again and several messages which Mrs. Bro- kaw's counsel desired to have read to the jury were admitted in evidence.
 Mrs. Brokaw had one of these mes sages handed to her It was intro duced to show that Mir. Brokaw put restraint on her movements while she was out automobiling.
 Other telegrams were read, indicating that Mir. Brokaw had ordered the ser want on the place to keep his wife un- der surveillance. Mrs. Brokaw testi- fled that her husband prevented her call ing even on her own women friends, and that his surveillance over her was un- bearaple.
 Overtures for a reconciliation with his wife were tentatively made by Mir. Bro kaw through his counsel today.
 John F. Mcintyre, his attorney, said.
 MT Brokaw loves his wife dearly and is willing to have the suit discon- tinued in spite of all the charges she has made, if she will only return to him. He believes his wife had been wrong ly advised and he is by no means in fear of losing the suit"
 Such thing is beyond the range of a possibility declared hmes A Blair, Mrs. Brokaw's father. They never could live together again"
 Mrs. Brokaw admitted on the stand that she could not remember the name of the clergyman who had married her. Counsel for the defense subsequently, in timated that 1t might be shown that no legal marriage had taken place.
 Mrs. Brokaw's father, James A. Blair, learning of this intimation. pressed his daughters lawyers to mako an immedi- ate statement and MT. Baldwin said the clergyman who performed the marriage was the Rev. Dr. Spaulding of the First Presbyterian church of Syracuse.

German Scare Is Started.

London, December 10.-Mr. Blatchford, il socialist, has started d campaign in a London newspaper on the German peril., which he declares is far more serious 10 the British people than any budget campaign. He asserts that Ger many is preparing to attack France with a view of Germanizing Holland and Bel glum and obtaining dominance in Flu rone. The only way for Great Britain to ward of this danger. he declares is to adopt conscription and go ahead with the navy.

Why Good Roads.

1t is most shortsighted poll
cy which is pursued by some
farmers in opposing road i'm
provements on the grounds that
the agitation for road improve
ments has been led by owners
Of automobiles. While better
roads would please the good peo-
pile who ride in automobiles,
good roads become a matter of
dollars and cents to farmers who
have to haul crops to market.
Poor roads, or impossible roads
at certain seasons of the year,
constitute one of the greatest
leaks for the farmer.
The postofice department has
rightfully taken the stand that
unless farmers appreciate rural
mail delivery sufficiently to keep
up the roads in passable condi-
at all times, such delivery will
be suspended. Some farmers
argue that il they can drive to
town, a half dozen miles over a
poor road, it is unreasonable to
claim that the rural carrier can.
not use the road. On this point,
Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General De Graw issues a cir
cular emphasizing the fact that
the mail carriers routes average
thirty miles, which they must
traverse every day in all wealth
ers. and they must go this dis
lance on schedule time. This is
|impracticable if, in bad weather,
much of the road is put out of
condition.
/ The department insists that, un-
less the roads are kept ia good con-
dition. the mail service will be sus-
pended.
1t is good thing sometimes to
have blessings forced upon US and
it certainly is bl ssing to all farm
ers to be compelled to keep their
roads in good condition.-North-
western Agriculturalist.
