THREE SISTERS ARRESTED.
Another Aunt of ocey snead in New
York Jail

Another Aunt of ocey Snead in New
York Jail.
New York, Dec. 17.-The three sis
tiers who held the life of Ocey Snead in
their hands have one by one come
within the reach of the law, until now
separate cells hold them all, charged
by the authorities of East Orange,
N. j., with the murder of their niece
and daughter.
OF the girls immediate relatives
only her bedridden grandmother. Mrs.
Wardlaw, SO years old, and Fletcher
Snead, the cousin she married, are still
at large. The rumor that Fletcher
Snead, the missing husband, has been
found in hiding at ST. GATHERINGS, Ont,
was denied by the police.
Shortly after the arraignment of Mrs.
Caroline w. Martin, Ocey Snead's
mother, there followed the third ar
rest in the caSe;-that of Mrs. Mary
Snead, Mrs. Martins sister, and at
once the aunt and mother-in-law of
Ocey Snead. She was taken from her
lodgings in New York, charged. with
being a fugitive from the justice OF
New Jersey, where warrant, similar
to that issued against her sister, was
sworn out charging murder.
Mrs. Martin was arraigned in police
court and committed to the Tombs
prison, pending the arrival of extra
dition papers from New Jersey. Dur.
| ing her examination she spoke as brief
ly as possible. Mrs. Martin is 81 years
old and feeble of body, though reso.
lutte and alert of mind.
Mrs. Mary Snead, when taken to po
lice headquarters, was more erect in
her bearing than Mrs, Martin, but
equally reticent. Mrs. Martins pitt
| full infirmity saved her the indignity
of being measured and photographed
but Mrs. Snead escaped none of the
humiliating details. She will be ex
amined to determine whether she car
| Justly be held for extradition.
The three notes found among Mrs
Martins effects, all similar in hand
writing and wording to the suicide
note found pinned to Ocey Snead':
clothes, beside the bathtub in which
she was drowned, were deemed suffi
cient evidence Mrs. Martin.
The point made against Mrs. Sneat
is that she was a party with Mis-!
Wardlaw to the renting of the unfuln
ished house in East Orange in which
Ocey Snead was found dead.

Controversy of Twenty Years Ended

invade the territory long considered
as the domain of James ]. Hill by run
ming passenger trains for the first
time through to Tacoma and Seattle,
the terminals of the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern railways under
the new traffic agreement.
One feature of the plan is through
service from Chicago to Seattle in
connection with the Northwestern rail-
way. The Hartman lines heretofore
have stopped at Portland and their
passengers for Puget Sound points
have been obliged to suffer the incon-
venience of rechecking their baggage
and purchasing new tickets because
the Northern Pacific desired to keep
the long houl from the East for itself.
This attitude of the Hill roads re-
suited in a controversy of 20 years
standing, which was settled, early in
the year, by an order Of the interstate
Joint route through Portland. AL
though the order was subsequently en-
joined by the federal court at st. Paul,
pending an appeal to the supreme
court, the Northern Pacific agreed to
the joint use of it's tracks. Between
Tacoma and Seattle the Hartman
trains will use the tracks of the Chi
ago, Milwaukee and Puget Sound, the
line from Portland and Seattle being
operated as the Oregon and Washing
ton railway

The governor was waited upon Sun

He intimated that it might be nee

organizations embraced in the railway
department, although he hoped for a
peaceful settlement.
Governor Eberhart took the stand
