mitting there have been blunders
and poor judgment in some minor
cases, but, taking It as a whole, and
fret bearing In mind that there are
over 5000 home companies In the
United States. there has been less
financial disaster in the Home Tele-
)hone move than in any other com
mercial Industry in the world with
even one-half SO many separate com
panies.
The writer can truthfully say that
he cannot recall a single instance OF
failure within the home field. Now
there are cases where one company
absorbed the interest Of another, but
conditions are very equally divided
on both sides of the firing line with
no particular advantage to either, as
such sales are invariably insignif-
cant when considering the sale price
The business man, at first mention

fact that she can sit down and hold

And there are hundred other
advantages which could be given
as reasons why we need more tele-
phones and better services and why
It means more time and profits to
every business man.
Now, does It pay for man or
woman who has a home or a busi-
ness or both, to ponder over these
facts? Every man is working for
profits and with profits ordinarily
come pleasures both at home and
abroad. We have but "one life to

DEAD BODY PACKED IN A TRUNK
New York Settlement Worker Muir
dered in Chinese Lodging House.

New York June 19.-Packed in a
steamer trunk tied with ropes, and
left in a stuffy little room in a house
occupied principally by Chinese, the
body of a young woman believed TO
be that of Elsie Siegel, settlement
worker, was discovered late last
night. Miss Siegel has been missing
for a week, and while the body, which
was badly decomposed, has not as
yet been viewed by members Of the
family, Mrs Paul Siegel mother of
the missing girl identified trinkets
found in the trunk as those worn by
her daughter The underclothing was
also identified as that worn by Miss
Siegel
The murder. following closely
upon the recent finding of the dis
membered body of a man on the east
side, gives the New York police two
sordid mysteries to work upon. The
efforts of the police last night We're
directed toward establishing the
identity of the young woman, and
in their Investigations they found
Henry Barnell, who is interested in
the Americanizing of Chinese He
gave the police valuable clew, in
that he described Chinaman who
formerly occupied the room where
the body was found. While there IS
no direct evidence to connect this
Chinaman with the murder, the TACT
that he was the last occupant OF the
room makes him valuable witness
at least.

! Sheriff Ramsay OF Muskogee county
is securing the woods near Braggs,
! in this county, trying to locate the
two train robbers who escaped af-
ter futile attempt to rob the crew
: of an Iron Mountain freight train
yesterday morning. but which started
battle in which one man was killed
and another fatally wounded The
attempted holdup and the killing oc-
CURED about o'clock yesterday
morning. The evident intention of
the robbers was to secure the money
which had just been paid to the train
crew They had just received their
monthly salaries at Illinois station,
I few miles south of Braggs The
/ train in charge Of Conductor Ashley
was stopped about mile southeast
/ of Braggs by railroad ties piled upon
; the track. When the train came to a
stop the three robbers sprang from
their places of concealment behind
some bushes and with reyolvers
/ drawn on the engineer and brake
man commanded them to throw up
their hands. The two trainmen obey
ed orders.
/ One of the robbers mounted the
cab and was about to go through the
pockets of the engineer and fireman
when Conductor Ashley and Brake
man Fred Wright, both armed with
revolvers.s opend fire on the holdup
men The latter sought cover and
returned the fire The fusillade at
tracted the attention of Constable
! Wicks and Deputy Constable John
/ ton Kirk, who happened to be in the
vicinity, and they came to the assist
/ ance of the train crew Both officers
fired number of shots at the des-
/ peradoes, and during the battle Dep
iuty Kirk fell dead with bullet
thru the brain. One of the robbers,
/ who gave his name as Paul Williams,
was fatally shot through the breast
and one arm and was captured by
Officer Wicks while the other two
robbers fled across the prairie and
! made their escape. Constable Wicks
himself received a slight flesh wound
in one arm from bullet. The con
stable procured conveyance and
removed his wounded prisoner to
Braggs where he was given medical
attention and an effort was made to
/ induce him to disclose the identity
of his pals The three robbers were
white men or Indians, and made no
attempt at disguise They evidently
knew that the train crew would draw
their money at Illinois station and
| had made their plans in advance, as
Braggs is only few miles from that
| place The two who escaped made for
the dense woods surrounding Green
| Leaf mountain, which affords an ex-
cellent retreat for them. The officers
and train crew are not positive that
the robbers were not mixed blood In
dians. The one captured had letters
from New York on his person.

FAREWELL SALUTE FIRED

San Juan del Suz Nicaragua, Dec.
27.--Jose Santos Zelaya. the ex-presi-
dent Of Nicaragua, has taken himself
out Of the country and is now aboard
the Mexican gunboat Gen. Guerrero,
bound for Salina Cruz Under the cover
of darkness Thursday morning, Zelaya,
accompanied by heavily-armed guard
proceeded to Cornito, in which port the
Mexican warship had been living for sew
eral days close beside the United States
protected cruiser Albany. Other Amer
lean warships swung at anchor in the
harbor, with marines aboard, laxily
awaiting Instructions.
Zelaya's coming was unheralded, but
a guard from the Guerrero received him,
and soon he was safe under the protec-
tion Of the Mexican flag AT 8 o'clock
IN the afternoon the. warship weighed
anchor and pointed out to sea. A salute
OF ID guns was fired from the shore and
hundreds Of soldiers and citizens waved
the former dictator farewell from the
beach. zelaya stood alone and waved
back an answer. He uncovered when
abreast Of the Albany, but the American
cruiser made no response. Then he
turned toward the shore, gazing until
out OF sight. Shortly before the arrival
OF Zelaya at Corinto the United States
gunboat Princeton got up steam and pro-
ceeded for San Juan del Sur The m.
NOR spread that the Princeton intended
to watch the movements al the Mexican
gunboat, but she proceeded directly down
the coast, and her arrival at her des-
tination was later reported, greatly re-
lieving the anxiety Of the zelayan adj
herents
Zelaya was entertained ct luncheon at
Corinto BY the commandment Of the port,
whose guests included the Mexican min
lister and the officers OF the Cen.
Guerrero. There were no toasts, but an
informal discussion Of the battle Of
Rama was INDUCED in. Zelaya ex-
pressed the fear that Presidtnt Madriz
would not be able to cope with the sit
nation, as he was not q military man.
He said that the army Of the govern
ment had been reduced 70 skeletons by
privations due to the failure OF the new
administration to forward rations, and
he was glad that the army had sur
rendered as great loss Of life was thus
avoided
