Chicago, Sept. l9.--Wm. Jones, Il
negro, was partly identified this ff-
ternoon as the slayer of Chas ID.
Hitler who was shot last night in de-
Tending his daughters from an in
truder who entered the house through
a bedroom window.
Jones succeeded in cOncealing a
bullet wound in his wrist for hours
while being grilled by the police but
the injury betrayed itself when
blood began trickling down the color
ed mans hand. When arrested Jones
carried a revolver, every chamber
of which was loaded, but which the
police say smelled strongly of burnt
powder.
Hitler was chief local freight clerk
of the Rock Island road. He was ar
reused by the screams of his daugh-
ters, Florence, aged II and Clarice,
aged 18, who slept together. Flor
ence told the police that she was
awakened by feeling a rough beard
against her face. She said the face
was that of negro but she could
not be certain of other details. She
declared the clothing worn by Jones
tallies with that in which her assail-
ant was garbed.
In answer to her cries Hitler rush
ed to the bedroom and grappled
with the intruder. They rolled down
the stairs locked in each others arms.
Then the negro began firing, three
bullets entering the railroad mans
body. His grasp relaxed and the
murdered escaped.
Detectives believing the slayer
would make for the railway tracks,
stationed themselves near a street
car line. Presently they saw Jones
rush fro ma clump of bushes a1d
swung onto Car going toward the
city. Following the negros arrest,
Mrs. Elizabeth McNabb identified him
as the man who had entered her
home earlier in the night.

TAFT AND ROOSEVELT HAVE CONFERENCE
AND DISCUSS NATIONAL ISSUES MON.

titude is toward that proposition.
1t can be stated that today's meet
ing at New Haven, while it may
have been successful in it's "scelic
effect" and of moral advantage to
the Roosevelt leaders in New York
state, was absolutely barren of re-
suits as to any better understanding
between the president and Roosevelt,
as to national issues of their personal
relations in view of many recent
events. Something in the nature OF
truce seems to have been arrang-
ed regarding the New York state sit
uation. After that is over, events
will shape themselves.
Roosevelt himself, is said today to
have let drop the remark that on his
side of the matter something will be
doing after election.
Mr.. Taft is letting 1912 look out for
itself. He declares he has other mat
ters Of concern at the moment. 1t
came out at today's conference that
Mr.. Taft's administration is to be en-
dorsed at Saratoga, but no mention of
Mr.. Taft as a candidate In 1912 will
be made.

Albany, N. Y, Sept. 19.-Taft and
Roosevelt met today at New Haven,
Conn.,, for the second time since the
former presiednt returned from Afri'
ca. It was plain fro mall that tran
spired before and after the meeting
that the colonel and his close politi'
cal advisers are not little worried
over the situation in New York state
and looked to the president for fur
ther evidence of his moral support.
This the president was glad to
give. He declared his position in the
New York state fight had been clear
from the very first. He said he sym.
pathized heartily with the fight
against "bossism" being waged by the
people of the state.
Mr.. Taft reiterated the statements
he made in his letter to Lloyd c.
Griscom, president of the New York
county republican committee, at the
time of the Sherman-Roosevelt con
troversy over the temporary chair
manship. This letter. he added,
stated his position fN = and accu.
rately and he was standing on it alb
solutely. -> s.

- Mr.. Taft announced to his calleds
anew that he had said in the Girls
com letter, that he favored direct pri-
maries for the nomination Of cong
ressmen and state legislators. He un-
derstands this to be the purpose of
the Cobb bill as amended by the
Seth Low and Joseph Choate memor-
ial. He said he hoped that decla-
ration for such a primary law would
be written into the republican state
platform and that a candidate for
governor in sympathy with this
movement would be nominated.
J Taft is not ready as yet to admit
the advisability of doing away with
conventions for the nomination of
state officers from governor down.
He understands that both Governor
Hughes and Roosevelt are now prac-
tically in accord with his own posi-
ton, although the governor fought at
first for direct primaries for all Of.
ficers.

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 19.-Alleged
stock imitation and manipulation, de-
signed to turn over to stockholders
large sums of money without putting
in the company's record any evidence
of more than fair dividends was the
subject delved into here today by the
interstate commerce commission.
The stock manipulation feature OF
the inquiry, which aims to bring out
what grounds the railroads have lot
asking, to increase rates, was sug-
gested by Commissioner Judsen =.
Clements, and was Immediately taken
up by the commissions attorney,
Frank Lyon, and Attorney John H. At
wood of Kansas City, Mo-, who ap-
peared for the General Shippers COM
pany, which is fighting the lncorpora-
tiOns.
Controller M. P. Blauvelt of tho
Illinois Central railroad, was the wit
ness from whom the startling disclo-
sures which followed were obtained.
Commissioner Clements called the
witnesses attention to the figures he
had furnished on direct examination
by the railroads counsel, w. H. Hor-
ton.
The commissioner said: "You say,
, Mr.. Blauvelt, that in 1891 your capi-
tai stock was $40,0OO,OOO on 2,S7o
miles of road, and in 1910, on only
about LOO miles more, it was $109,-
600 900. Also that in 1891, the bonded
Indebtedness was only $S,OOO,0OO,
while in 1910 it had reached $17,OO0,-
900. Why is this?"
WELL" was the answer, what
would appear to be the excess went
| to improvements of the roadway and
to equipment and purchase Of other
reads"
"And how was the stock raised for
these purposes sold?" continued the
commissioner. "Was it on the open
market?"
Part of it was, but most OF it was
sold to the stockholders at par"
WAS there ever declared stock
dividend?"
NO l insure there was not. That
would amount to the same as any
other dividend. you see. The Illinois
Central stock is real values In dollars
and cents
Here Attorney Frank Lyon, for the
commission. took hand in the cross
examination. seeking to have the wit
ness differentiate giving stockholders
a stock dividend or giving them stock
worth more than par at parity. The
controller insisted that was a partial
difference, even if the result was the
same in cash to the stockholders,
which he admitted.
