AUCKLAND, MELLEN'S
 RIGHT HAND MAN
New Haven Roads Head Calls Vice President from Providence to Succeed Fla bian, Who Is Made Pur- chasing Agent for Entire System.

New Haven, Feb. 1.-President Mel. len of the N. Y. N. H. & H. R. R. has issued an order, which on March l will bring Vice President E.. G. Buck land, who has for some years been stationed at Providence. R. l., to New
 Haven as assistant to the president His office will be in this city. MT. Buckland will succeed H. A Fabian, for several years assistant tc MT. Mellen. and his right hand man who has been made manager of pur- chases and supplies for the entire sys- tenn. including the Boston & Maine railroad, with headquarters in Bos- ton.
 This change will mean much tc those who have occasion to do busi- ness with the road. inasmuch as the assistant to the president in New Ha- ven practically carries out the pres ident's ideas in the absence of the president.
 MT. Buckland is an old New Ha- vener. He married a daughter of the late Charles P, Clark. then president of the New Haven railroad, and after his graduation from the Yale Law School he became interested in the service of the New Haven road. For years he has been located in Provi- dence. where by his legal foresight and acumen he has been of great ser vice to the company. He has repre- sented the company at Washington for a considerable period of time in con- nection with the interstate questions that have been brought up there His successor at Providence has not yet been named
 MT. Fablan's new position is a most important one and one that will in- volve the expenditure of millions o1 dollars, inasmuch as he will contro the purchase on the N. Y., N H. & H. R. R.. and Central New England Railway Company. the New England Navigation Company, the Connection Company. the Rhode Island Company the New York & Stamford Railway Company. the Housatonic Power Com pany, the Boston & Maine Railroad the Maine Central Railroad Company the Washington County Railway Com. pany and the Somerset Railway Com. pany.
 MT. Fablan's orders are signed by President Mellen of the New uaver and by President Futile of the Bostor 1 & Maine. The change of the seat O. 1 the purchase of supplies for these two great properties from this city to Bos ton marks, as many believe. another l step toward the final amalgamation O. 1 the two roads.

clever was she in keeping up the de- ception of her life that many of her lodsers still believe in her and think that instead of being locked up with another street worker awaiting trial on the manifold charges of robbery, grand larceny, assault, and receiving stolen goods, she is visiting friends in Chicago. Even those who knew her best and are acquainted with all the facts in the case were astounded to
 learn that the hard-working, respect able-appearing housekeener was the central figure in one of the most dra- matic street robberies of it's kind in the history of the city.
 A week ago last Thursday night MT. Van Norden walked out of the Wal corf-Astoria, with wallet in his in side coat pocket containing S28 9O0 Next day he complained to Inspector McCaferty of the Detective Bureau that two women had iostled against Linn in Thirty-third street, near Mad1- son avenue, and within fifteen or twenty seconds had abstracted his wallet, taken out the $28,000. and re- placed it. leaving $e00 in another f1aI of his pocketbook. McCafferty turn ed the case over to Detectives Frank Peabody and Val O'Farrell.
 No one else could have done it,'' was Peabody's comment.
 They found her busy helping he1 negro maid make beds on the fifth floor of the Coburg apartment house 219 West Thirty-fourth street.

 She readily went to police headquar- ters and as readily told who she was with the night of the robbery. It was "Chieago May'' Williams.

According to Pea body and O'Farrell both admitted thai they were working the streets" the night in question and had talked tc a man resembling MT.

With the stoic- ism of the resourceful criminal they let their lawyers do the talking fol them.

Mayor G'aynor's Protege
 Stole His Honor's Turkey

Riverhead, L. l., Feb. 1.-Capt. Frank H. De Mott of St. James, pro- tege of Mayor Gaynor. is in the coun- ty jail here and will spend the next six months there for stealing fine turkey from his benefactor.
 Mayor Gaynor missed the turkey from his place at St. James on Sat uriay. sWhen the complaint was ma de be did not suppose the theft would be traced to a man to whom he gave the run of Deep Wels.
 The theft was traced to De Mott and he was arrested and admitted he took the turkey and sold it for 30 cents.
 The Mayor did not want to prose cute but De Motts plea of guilty made that out Of the question. Then the Mayor wanted to have the old man let off slightly. but the Captain had been before the court so often for minor offenses that Justice Douglass gave b~a tb limit

There appeared in the Boston Post on Saturday in fac-simile circular sent out from the central office of one of the big beef concerns to the managers of it's branch houses. The circular, which was dated January 26s says:
 Do not want you to be at all in huenced by present newspaper agita- ton regarding trade conditions. Please do not make any talk about same whatever, but keep moving right along and sell what beef, sheep and lambs you have shipped you for every cent it is possible to obtain. Do not believe that present conditions are anything that will last, and we fully believe that there will be improved demand next week, and improved prices that go with it.
 The substance of the circular is that higher prices are coming and that, in the meantime, the proper course is to sell flor every cent it is possible to obtain.'' Neither point is new. Boosting of prices and the ob- tsinment of every possible cent, have for some years constituted the main business principle of the Beef Trust It enabled one company to secure 8 net profit of S5.6 per cent. in 1908 cn actual ual~capitalization, and to pile up surplus profits to the aggregate ot $7e,00O,00O in ten years. Get 'every cent 1t is possible to obtain," is the general policy of all the monopolies which are fostered by the high tariff snd which are manufacturing mil. honaires by the hundreds while i'm poverishing the people.

ONLY FIFTY MODOCS LEFT
 OF FIERCE TRIBE Another Decade Will See Last of Famous Cali
 fornia Band
Warriors Who Took Part In Most Famous Rebellion In American History.

Placidly smoking the pipe of peace, apparently forgetful of the eventful past, about 50 Indians, relatives and survivors of the renowned Modocs, who took part in the most interesting Indian rebellion in American history, are living on allotments near Miami I. T. These 50 are perhaps the only survivors or relatives of the once pow erful tribe.
 The Modocs, it will be remember ed, were an Indian tribe of northern California and southern Oregon. In 1872 they became turbulent and re- fused to remain on their reserva tionS. Gen. E. R. $. Canby, veteran of the Mexican and civil wars, was sent against them, but they, after firing On the United States forces, retreated to the lava beds.
 The advance of the United States troops was greatly impeded by the peculiar topography of the country, and good many of them were pick ed off by Indian sharpshooters con cealed behind the rocks and crags of the lava beds.
 Efforts were then made to nego- tiate with them, and conference was held between Gen. Canby and two peace commissioners on the one hand and number of Modocs, ln- cluding their chief, Capt. Jack, on the other. While Gen. Canby and his aides were seated on stones around small fire two Indians who were concealed in the bushes rushed from their hiding place with guns and shot to death the general and one of his companions.
 A vigorous campaign was then be- gun against the treacherous Indians and the following summer Gen. Jef- ferson c. Davis, who succeeded Gen Canby, captured the Modoc band Capt. Jack and three other leaders were tried by a military commission and hanged while two others were imprisoned for. life.
 About 100 who had not followed Capt. Jack were permitted to remain in California. The remainder, about 145, of whom the 50 are either sur vivors or descendants, were trans ferred to the Indian Territory. Alto gether the war cost $500,000. Sixty. odd soldiers and Indian allies were killed and nearly as many wounded Little Man, who is said to be 2
 nephew of Capt. Jack, is the only known relative of the famous warrior Chief Scarescrow, now bent with age ] and infirmity, is one of the survivors of the rebellion.
 Besides him are two or three oth- CTS who were transported from Cali. | fornia. The others now in the Terri | tory are all descendants of the ole warriors. If the tribe continue tc dwindle as rapidly during the nex few years as it has in the past an. other decade will mark the death o1 1 the last Modoc Indian in America Kansas City Star

The Waterbury American refers to a prominent Bridgeporter as follows: Allan W. Paige-whose political res urrection is alleged, although it was devoutly believed that he was com pletely, if somewhat hastily interred.' MT. Paige is still alive, very much alive. and he Is still a skilful. re- sourceful politician. There appears to be a question whether he or Sherifi Hawley shall manage the Bulke1ey campaign in Fairfield county. and il hardly needs saying that upon which ever the Bulkeley management de- wolves, the campaign will be skilfully conducted by the usual underground methods.

PUBLIC OPINION
THAT BAND CONTROVERSY

THAT BAND CONTROVERSY
 Editor Farmer:
 Sir-Perhaps outsiders should not butt into the controversy that the Coast Artillery Band and the Wheeler & Wilson Band are having over an attempt of the Coast Artillery Band to get a $1,600 subsidy from the city for band concerts. These musicians certainly love one another and it is a good thing for the peace of the public mind that the final meeting of the Board Of Apportionmenr is not far off But if the Board of Aldermen is go- ing to spend the $16OO of the city S money why not spend it for the best article to be found in the music line. Leader Goulding of the Coast Artillery Band says he is willing to whack the money with any other band Why not give all the money to the best band? The city does not want to spend any money for cheap music any more than it does for poor pavement. It would be distributing graft to let any band other than the best band have even a look at the money The city can decide which is the best band by spending few dollars to bring three disinterested bandmen here from three different cities to hear all of the bands play in competition.
 If more than one band is going to get part of the money I insist that the Hungarian Gypsy Orchestra be al- lowed $2O0 for free concerts in Rakoczy Hall in the West End. It's l members are citizens and just as like ly to be drafted in case of war as the l members of any of the c. A. c. bands. OUTSIDER
