DOMESTIC TANGLE

New York, December 29.-A remarkable tangle of domestic troubles was revealed in New York today with the arrest and arraignnent on charges of criminal libel and perjury of Mrs. Jane Humes Par ker, wife of John Alley Parker, Wall street banker and broker. Mrs. Parker was released in s2Oo0 bail and the hearing was adjourned.
 Mrs. Edith Moses Ellis 10 the com plainant. The alleged libel and perjury was committed in affidavtts made by Mrs. Parker to support a motion for proper counsel fees in defending an ac- ton for divorce brought by her hus- band.
 Parker, in the divorce papers, charged his wife with statutory offenses with dashing Austrian, while Mrs. Parker was studving music in Vienna last year. Mrs. Parker immediately fled counter sult for divorce, naming Mrs. Ellis as CO., respondent. ,r

RAILROADS MUST
 SETTLE CLAIMS

Washington, December 29.--In deci- sion by the interestate commerce com mission today involving claim of 70 cents in an over-charge on freight made against the Aberdeen and Ashboro Rail- road company and other ines, railroads are generally severely rsfs imanded for their delay in adjusting Faims where there has been a palpabts e. er-cl,arse
 The case was that of a Wilkesparro, Pa, firm who atttached an over-charge of 20 cents on shipment of iron wagon axles to Carthage, N. C..
 If carriers persist in their delay, the commission intimates that it might be under the necessity Of calling the atten- ton of Congress to the matter
 Commissioner Harlan in writing the re- port of the commission says
 From shippers in all parts of the county and from local traffic associa- tions which are making earnest efforts on fair and reasonable lines to secure reform in the practice of carriers in this regard, many complaints have been received during the past year of the in- attention of carriers to plain over-charge indictments and of their delay in ad justing them and survey of these complaints has led us to the conclu. sion that this practice or rather lack of practice among carriers is open to se were criticism.
 "A substantial portion of the time and labor of this commission is given to the effort to secure, through informal corres- pondence, the settlement of claims of this character, and it is burden from which we ought to be relieved by car rers. On the other hand from the ship pers point of view nothing in connection with transportation is more vexing and irritating than the labor and delay in- cident to the following up of over charge claim and securing it's repay ment.'
 The commission expresses the opinion that all ordinary claims of this charac- ter should be adjusted and paid by ths carriers within 90 days and in special cases that no more than GO days should be required for settlement. and adds that it twill expect the cordial cooperation of all carriers in our request that the claims departments be so organized as to give more prompt results"
 In another case decided, originating in Chicago, the complainant had died be- fore his claim had been adjusted and the commission ordered the Chicago and Great Western railroad to pay the amount of the claim to his estate.

at the sure approach of q more distant but also a more important problem.
 ''I see a rapidly increased cost of l1V- ing" he said. At the end of a century, as MT Hill has told you, there will be d vast importation of foodstuffs into Amer lea if your farming methods are not changed for the better. Such sltu- ation calls for urgent action by Congress and by state legislatures. As an alien, have no right to say what such action should be. but if l may not prescribe. l may describe.
 "The system of agriculture in the cen tral west or that part of it settled 30 years ago, was the most Wasteful l ever saw. The so-called farmer was not a farmer but a land speeulator He went Into the country knowing that the land was sure to rise in value. So he bought all the land he could get and then robbed the land 10 meet his obligations until he could realize his eventual sure profits from a sale. There has got to be Il change. I believe there will come. in this country, cooperation between farmers the plan long q 90 forced upon the farm CTS Of eolde countries by the compeu- ton of tn, fhen virgin soils of America.

.SHONTS DENIES
 RUMOR OF CHANGE

N1w York, December 1s.-Theodore P. 6honts k to retire from the presidency of the Interborough Rapid Transit com pany and the Interborough-M Metropolitan company February 1. 1t was reported to- day MT. Shonts was out of the city, but his secretary said there was no truth in the report, which, however. remained per sistent with the added detail that he was to be succeeded by c. H. Askert, vice president and general manager of the Southern railway.
 MT. shonts has been at the head of the subway and elevated lines of New York since March, 1907. Changes in the man. agement of the Interborough-Me Metropolitan system are contemplated. 1t is said. be- cause of the friction of the present regime with the public servics commission. MT. ehonts' position pays, approximately. t7b.00o year.
 when the matter was brought to the att tention of Mir. Shonts tonight he said: 'There is absolutely no truth in the rumor that am to retire as president of the IntArborough Rapid Transit company. and presume that Mr. Ackert will De just aa much surprised when he learns he has been chosen as my successor.

PROSECUTION OF
 INVESTIGATIONS

New York, December 29.-Franklin Mac Veagh, Secretary of the Treasury, re- turned to Washington today after att tending dinner given by Attorney Gen. eral Wickersham at the Metropolitan club last night. Besides MT. Macveagh, United States District Attorney Wise, Collector Loeb, and Henry l.. Stimson, special prosecutor for the government in the sugar fraud cases, where MT. Wicker sham's guests.
 MT. MacVeagh came here it is under stood, to see the Attorney General con trust law, and to discuss the customs sit- uation.
 Whether as a result of the little dIn- ner or not the federal grand jury resumed consideration of the sugar cases today. There were heard several witnesses. whose testimony, it was expected, would bring out evidence that would warrant far-reaching prosecutions.
 While affairs of the dinner were kept se- cret, 1t is understood that MT. Loeb re- ported on the customs situation as to smuggling and short weighing, involving imports other than sugar.
 The possibility of a. congressional in- vestigaflbn of the customs house and the appraisers departments was talked over, 1t was said, but no sentiment in favor of suchs an investigation was expressed.
 MT. Wise's investigation of the theft of letters sent to him last June by Mir. Wickersham was outlined. It was said that Mir. Wise reported he was in pos session of evidence tending to Identify the thief, and that the papers in the proceedings to be instituted are nearly ready It was given out by persons h. terested in the subject that while thera had been harmony before this between the departments of justive and the treas ury in the housecleaning at this and oth- CT ports, the dinner at the Metropolitan club resulted in a more positive unity of effort to punish violators of the law and to safeguard the government against further fraud

along with the special message, the prep aration of which the President will begin as soon as he gets the message on the interstate commerce and antitrust laws out of the way
 The new statutes, which the friends of the administration declare will be the first that ever have dealt adequately with the natural resources, will be the Presidents answer to so much of the criticism as has been directed against him.
 Senator Knute Nelson of Minnesota, chairman of the Senate committee on public lands, is cooperating with the President in the matter of conservation laws and has assured him that there will be no difficulty in putting these laws through the Senate.
 In the House there is likely to be some opposition, but the President feels sure that 1t can be overcome, and that the laws will stand approved before the sum- mer comes.
 White House callers who have talked with President Taft on the subject de scribe him as believing that he will best prove his friendship for tho Roosevelt policies of conservation by putting laws on the statute books that will actually carry these policies into effect.
 The real problem to be solved is how best to dispose of the public lands con taining water power sites, coal and phos- plates. Such lands have been withdrawn from entry under the general land laws. but they cannot be held indefinitely, and there is no specific law governing their sale or lease.
 It is generally admitted that the natural resources must be developed, that the coal and phosphate must be taken out by private capital and yet there must at the time be safeguards against mo- nopoly. These are the intricacies with which Congress will have to deal

MINISTER WU TELLS HOW
 TO ATTAIN LONG LIFE

One of the party asked the diplomat how old he is now.
 ''It is the privilege of lady in this big land of yours not to tell her age if she wishes not to-" replied pr. Wu, smil- ingly, hiding his face with his hands. May I not be presumptuous enough to extend that privilege to myself? What my age is now will in no way prevent my returning here in 50 years. Change your mode of living and you will be as op- timistic on the problem of longevity as l am.
 You Americans worship the almighty dollar too much,' the diplomat concluded with his customary frankness T by no means despise 1t, but one should not per init a desire for money to cause him to forget all the rules of health"
 Dr. Wu was accompanied abroad by his wife, his daughter-in-law, Wu Chao, and the latter's baby boy.

Fon Du Lac, Wis, December 9-That recent strikes are signs of growing an archy and that civil w~r in this country will follow them unless present social conditions are changed, is the opinion of Gen. Edward g. Bragg, commander of the Iron Brigade

These outbursts are noth- ing more than signs of anarchism which Is sounding q warning that must be hooded. If present social conditions con tinue civil strife is inevitable.
