opment has been removed and final

have almost disappeared as the crop,
industrial and general merchandise
movements have expanded Industrial
reports are still of expansion, and the
trades allied to the iron and steel in
dustries ae returning reports of full or

are evidences that buyers and sellers
are still apart on the question of

corded for years at this period-ren-
ders manufacturers disinclined to book

true some buyers for next spring and

pay advanced prices, and quotations
are certainly frmer or higher as a
whole, but a good portion of the trade
still hangs off.

Masked Men Suspend Woman from

Posses are hunting the assailants of
Mrs. w. B. Scott, wife of banker,
of Lansing, Mich, found in the wood
shed of her home Sunday, gagged and
suspended by the wrists from rafter
so her toes just touched the floor. The
woman had been attacked by two
masked men and had been tied up for
four hours before her. husband and
neighbor found her. She was utterly
exhausted when cut down and has
suffered severely from the shock
According to the story told the
police, Mrs. Scott, hearing noise,
entered the woodshed in her night
clothes just after the men had opened
the door and stepped into the shadows.
They seized her and threw her to the
floor. After procuring a clothes line
from the yard they bound and gagged
her and hung her to the rafter. They
then entered the house and searched
for money, but found none. Mrs.
Scott says the men were masked, Tut
one of them resembled a man who
called at her house Friday and rep
resented himself to be a detective.
The house was for sale and on the
pretext that he was looking for
house to buy he was shown through.

IHREE-CEAT CAR FARE
Company and City Finally Settle
Problem That Has Caused PoIit-
icaI Turmoil Many Years.
JOHNSON WINS A LONG FIGHT
City May Purchase Lines Whenever
Municipal Ownership Is Made
Lawful.

A conference was held Tuesday to
arrange final details which will result
IN an absolute settlement of the Cleve-
land street railway difficulty which
has been bitterly agitated for eight
years. During the life of the contro-
versy it has been a political issue at
all times. Partial settlements have
been made and many proposed, but all
failed Of their object Now peace is
assured.
The basis of the strike has been
Mayor Tom L. Johnson's contention
for Scent fare. The proposed settle
ment will be on this rate of fare, and
will eliminate the street car question
from the fall campaign.
Twenty-Five Year Franchise.
All the main points have been set
tied. 1t is agreed that the city shall
give the Cleveland Railway Company,
the owner of the local lines, a twenty
five-year franchise, revokable at any
time any of the details of the contract
with the city is violated The city re-
serves the right to purchase the lines
at any time municipal ownership is
made lawful, providing the city de-
sires to take over the lines. The city
also reserves the right to name a pur-
chaser of the lines after eight years.
The initial rate of fare is to be 3
cents on all lines, with a 1-cent extra
charge for transfer.
Both the city and the railway COM
pany have agreed to let Judge Robert
w. Tayler of the United States Court
determine the value of the railway
property and the maximum rate of
fare. 1t is agreed that at no time
shall the rate of fare be greater than
will allow the company an earning
power of more than 6 per cent on the
value of the property, consistent with
good service. Judg Tayler has indi-
Gated that he will make the maximum
rate of fare 4 cents for a cash fare
and the regular ticket rate seven tick
cts for 25 cents and cent extra for
transfers. This proposition has been
accepted both by the city and the rail
way company.
