MINING IS NOT
HIS LINE
KINGDOM GOULD FAILS To PASS
AFTER EXCEPTIONAL OPPOR-
TUNITIES-GOES INTO RAIL
ROADISG TO SUCCEED FATHER

Kingdom Gould, who visited this
district last fall, the % year old son
of George J. Gould, was elected
director of the Missouri Pacific rail
road on Tuesday He left Columbia
university last year after pursuing
the engineering course for four years.
He failed TO receive his diploma. and
since then has been studying prac-
teal railroading in the southwest
and in Mexico. The young man is
well known in all the copper camps
of the west and southwest. having
visited these with his tutors during
the time he was preparing for the
profession which he has now aban-
doned for railroading
George Gould has trained both his
sons almost from infancy to. take up
his railroad business. His idea has
been that Kingdom Will eventually
succeed him. as he succeeded Jay
Gould. his father. Ii has been said
that the principal study of the young
Goulds. as children, was the "geog-
raphy of the Gould lines. and the
geography of the rest of the world
as IL related TO the Gould lines.
Jay, the younger son, is still a stu
dent in the engineering course at Co
lumbia.

TARIFF NEWS--TAET MESSAGE
EXPECTED TO HELP-UNDER-
TONE Is GOOD.

As anticipated. there was little
change in the market yesterday
Tendency Is downward, but there is
a good strong undertcae = he situa-
ton. which Is a waiting one. II is
believed that the message of the pres
ident to congress on Monday will be
a strong one and that 1t will have
much effect in putting a brighter APP
pearanee on things and aiding with
restoration in full degree of conf
denee. Meantime investors are wait
ing and all efforts of operators to
bring about a different situation ap-
pear In vain.
Copper was weaker yesterday and
fell off a little in price The action
of the metal was not a surprise, be-
ing simply in accord with the general
tone of the situation. Meantime
there Is assurance of a resumption
on old and the taking up of new en-
terprises involving large use of the
metal that is giving confidence that
as soon as the tariff matter is In a
little more comprehensive form cop
per will make very material advance.
1t only awaits the demand which I'M
der present conditions is extant for
no line of Industrial output.

A SMOKY DAY.

\ wind from the north today
brought all the smoke in the coun-
try directly over The town. L was
declared the most penetrating siege
that has yet been had, fact attrib-
utable to the greater amount of
smoke that is now pouring from the
stacks p hours a day. Among other
things there are three reverberator-
les going instead of two, while the
converter is doing more than ever be-
fore. Also more men are being
worked at the various plants. fact
which 10 some degree at least offsets
the disagreeable features of an &C.
casional day with the wind from
the wrong direction.

FALLIBrLITY OF HUMAN TEST
MONY.

The fallibilfty of human testimony
was never more clearly exemplified
than in the case OF Richard fite. A
father, who had been constantly with
his son for nineteen years until two
months ago, identified the body of
another person as that of his son and
brought the body home for burial
Had II not been. for the declaration
OF another son that Richard Hite is
alive in South Dakota. the whole fam
lily and neighborhood would have
been deceived
II surprises one, and yet IL should
not The human mind is prone 10
jump at conclusions. unless it has
been made cautious by previous ex-
perimental errors. In this case Rich
ard Hite was somewhere in the west
and letters had failed to win response
from him. A boy, answering the de
scription. wearing a necktie purchased
in Paducah and underclothing with
Richard Hite's laundry mark on them,
was found dead on street of Kan
sas City, near a wild west show
ground. Richard Hite was with a
show when last heard from.
Those. who knew Richard Hite. be-
lleved that 1t was he, and the father
wrote 10 a friend in Kansas City to
. ascertain whether there we're certain
scars on the face. The friend found
the peculiar scars, and the father
started for Kansas City. predisposed

upon Identifying the body in order TO
secure possession OF his own child.
On the other hand, before they saw
the body. other members of the fam
ily had heard Richard was alive, and
they studied the body and features,
not FOR marks OF Identification. but
for lines OF difference, and they found
them. The attitude Of approaching
an Investigation. the point Of view,
the hopes and fears. experience and
means OF observation. all affect hui
man testimony. and furnish material
