Alderman Uses Saskatchewan A.
C. Stouffer won recognition plus the
grand stand applause Wednesday after
neon, when he arrested two farmers
when he caught fighting near Third
avenue and Eighteenth street. This
member of the city council happened
to be in the neighborohood when the
quarrel began. He waited several
minutes until the argument became in
teresting and then flashed his alder
mans star and took the pair in tow.
Both men We're farmers, George Bris-
tow who is now wearing a dark shaded
optic as a souvenir of the mix-up with
MS employee, Perry Palmer. is charged
with starting the trouble. Palmer and
Br:stow had been in town enjoying the
sights for the day when Palmer sud-
denly became aware that he needed
money and informed his employer of
the fact. Bristow is alleged to have
refused him the money, claiming that
he had none coming. when the two en-
gagged in verbal argument which had
developed into real fight, when Alder
man Stouffer appeared upon the scene
and asserted his authority. This is the
fist instance in many years where a
local alderman has stepped in and
acted as custodian of the city's peace.
Palmer appeared for trial yesterday
morning and was fined $5.05, while
Bristow, who was released on a 800
bopd, failed to show. up. He had his
hearing yesterday afternoon.

FREE TREATMENT UNTIL CURED

If you are not the man or woman
you ought to be; if you are back
ward, try to shun company; if you
can't make up your mind to thing;
if you never take a chance; if you
are afraid of failure; if you are
afraid something awful is going to
happen to you; if you lack courage,
confidence in yourself; if you fear
that your life will be a failure; if
you are a weak man or woman, a
sick man or woman; if your brain is
in a muddle, your ideas confused; if
your nerves are unstrung and your
muscles feel weak, you can be cured,
but you'll not find your cure in drugs
alone. You need electricity properly
applied and that is the remedy that
will surprise you as it has hundreds
of others.
Here's a list of ailments that cleo
tricity when properly applied is in
dicated. and can prove it; indi-
gestion, constipation, torpid liver,
weak kidneys, rheumatism, neural
gia,, lame back, lumbago, sciatica,
insomnia (sleeplessness). poor blood
circulation, nervousness and head
ache.
Don't get the idea that my method
of applying electricity is like the old
style battery; there is no comparison.
My mode of applying this grand
force, is according to the latest scien-
tific method. There's no burning or
blistering; no shock whatever. The
current enters your body in a mild
vitalizing manner and gives pleas
ant sensation of glowing warmth ali
through your system.

CHARLTON PLACED

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-Porter CharI-

Mrs. Mary Scott Castle Charlton, was
today ordered turned over to the fed
eral authorities in proceedings which
have been instituted for his extradition
to Itals Judge Blair of the New Jer-
sey supreme court declined to release
Charlton and issued the order for him
to be placed in charge Of the federal
authorities.
September 81, when Justice Blair re-
fused TO hear testimony concerning
Charlton's sanity. Charlton's alleged
irresponsible mental condition was
urged as reason which he should not
be taken TO Italy for trial. His coun-
sci also argued that Italy, by enacting
a law that no Italian citizen should be
extradited had abrogated all obliga-
tions of this country to extradite its
citizens ON Italy.s demand BY his
decision today Justice Blair overruled
this last contention so far as the state
court had to deal with IL. and the
whole matter. it now appears. will be
put in the hands of the federal authori-
ties. -
WASHINGTON, Oct 14.-It is cus-
tomary for the state department to
await the final determination of court
proceedings before acting in extradi-
ton cases: therefore, IL may be many
months before the United States gov
ernment decides whether it will grant
the application of the italian govern
ment for the extradition of Charlton.

New York Central Head Says
Prestige Must Be Maintained
Through Increased Rates

WASHINGTON, = Oct. 14.-President
W. c. Brown Of the New York Central
lines was on the witness, stand
throughout the day in the investiga-
tion by the interstate commerce com
mission into the proposed advance in
freight rates in the eastern trunk line
territory. The case of the railroads is
practically complete, although ]. c.
Stewart, vice president of the Erie, is
to be heard.
Under the law il is incumbent upon
railroads to make prima facie case of
the reasonableness of any proposed
general advances in rates considered
by the commission. The railroad off,
cfals express confidence that they have
established their case.
WANTS FAIR RETURN
President Browns testimony frankly
set out the Industrial and financial op-
erations of the lines under his direc-
tion He was cross examined particu-
larly as to the financial operations of
the roads, and. adhered to his view
that-they were entitled to fair re-
turn upon the investments.
The presidents of the three great
railway systems maintain that 1t is not
only the ambition of the railway OFF,
cials, but the desire Of the travelling
and shipping public that the railroads
of the United States should continue TO
be the best in the world.
PUBLIC MUST PAY, THOUGH
In order to maintain this prestige
for America it is the opinion of Brown
that the freight income of the roads
should be greater than it is now.
In discussing the capitalization of the
New York Central President Brown
said:
.sThe New York Central stock, every
dollar of it, has been paid for at 500
a share, except such as was paid for
at the rate of sf25 TO s15s share. and
the New York Central can not be re-

shippers elected the information that
j. Pierpont Morgan was member of
the executive board of the New Yorl.
Central and that the firm of J. r. Nor
gan e Co. was among the financial
advisers of the road.
"The demand for increased wages
was pending at the time, l believe" re-
piled President Brown.
rs it not a fact" persisted Brandeis,
that you disabled yourself to. the
extent of s1,7S6.0o0 year from meet
ing the increased liabilities for wages?"
DIVIDEND WAS RAISED
I'VE increased the dividend less than
the men who held the securities of the
New York Central could have got on
first class mortgages" was his reply.
Brandeis indicated his purpose to
show that If railroads in the eastern
territory were managed with the high
est degree of efficiency it would be
possible for them to earn dividends and
make desired improvements without in
creasing rates.

Water RATE TALK

Judge Harrington Does Not
Seem to Favor Spring Val-

Arguments on the question Of the
legality of the water rates fixed ,bS the

before United States District sEldge

The argument OF Edward J. Nc
Cutchen, attorney for the Spring Val
ley water company. was often inter
rupted yesterday by Judge Harrington.
who did not seem 10 favor the conten-
tions urged by the company.
McCutchen said that the valuation TO
be given the properties of the company
as a basis for fixing rates was the
rule of eminent domain-"the highest
value for its highest use at the atime
OF valuation
Speaking on the valuation contended
for by the company. McCutchen said;
The company is entitled to have cons,
sidered the increase in the value of the
land from the time il was bought un
til the present time. The public has 4
right to control the use of the property.
but no right to the property itself"
A discussion between McCutchen and
Judge Harrington ensued. which re-
suited I'm it being inferred that the
Spring Valley water company was only
entitled to have its lands valued for
the purpose for which they are used
water sheds-and not because of their
value for homes.
Judge Harrington will leave for his
home in Nevada tonight and viii rem
