BOUTELL TO RUN.

Congressman Henry Sherman BOu-
tell, who was defeated by nearly LOCO
votes in Thursday primaries in Illinois
by F. H. Gansbergen, who proclaims
himself progressive republican, stated
yesterday that he will run indepen-
IDENTIFY. Today Mr. Boutell left for
Washington, and it is believed for Bey-
erly also.
81 will run independently and beat
my rivals on the simple principles OF re-
sponsible representative government, "
said Mr.. Boutell. Il place no reliance
in direct primaries. In my district less
than one-third OF the republican voters
went to the polls. Pure democracy
always has been a failure. The initia-
tive and referendum, direct vote for
senators-these are yagaries. The idea
OF 100, 900, 900 people trying to legislate
direct on the subjects that individually
they do not understand
THE only thing that might make
me hesitate to run is that am a party
man. am willing to accede to the
wishes Of my party when they are
honestly expressed. The voters were
misled by the statements OF hired pro-
fessional liars"
The congressman said he had receiv
ed kilograms from 113 constituents
asking him TO stay in the race.

RoOsEvELT,s CONTROL

The thirteenth annual convention OF
the Ohio Association Of Spiritualists
began in Cincinnati yesterday a
three days session with over so dele
gates in attendance.
Everybody in the world has a con-
troll, " says President Harry f. Broer-
stel, Of Columbus, although most peo-
pie don't know it. "
The control of Theodore Roosevelt, -
declared Treasurer Mehaffey, is very
probably Abraham Lincoln. You see,
for different controls, Roosevelt being
OF commanding influence, is probably
also controlled by a Caesar OF Napoleon
or by the spirit Of some powerful In
dian chief.
His mind is attuned to receive high
moral impressions from the spirits of
such men as Lincoln. In fact, Lincoln
and the other patriots are at present en-
gagged in sending forth messages OF a
new order OF patriotism, and that is
why the people are arising against the
old order OF things Roosevelt is the
medium through whichkthese messages
are being Transmitted.

As an indication of how the high

the shipment of cattle from the Pitts
burg stock yards to Altoona has fallen
off about 40 per cent. in the past three
years. In 1907 the average weekly
consignment Of beeves was IA carloads,
exclusive OF the hogs, sheep and calves,
while this week only eight cars of
cattle were received and partial car

40 per cent. less beef is consumed in
Altoona now than formerly. because
the people cannot afford to buy it for
one reason, and because they guard
against the slightest waste for another.

The Chanler-ChavaIieri Agreement.

New York, Sept. 17.-John Arms
strong Chanler may not have been
very far out OF the way when he sent
his famous telegram: Who's loony
now" to his brother, Robert +. Chan
Ter when the news that Chanler and
Cavalier had disagreed became public.
Attorneys who have examined the
ante-nuptial agreement, unite today IN
agreeing that it is seemingly legal proof.
That this is the opinion Of the members
of the Chanler family is indicated by
the intimation from them that they
would be willing to ensure Cavalier a
lump sum of so, 900, and guaranteed
annuity of So, 900 if she will execute n
quit claim to her husbands pos
sessions.
People who know Cavalieri, and who
are amazed over the revelation contain
ed in the agreement filed yesterday say
that she will hardly accept any such
offer.
Some OF the members Of the Chanler
family are said to favor applying to the
courts for a commission for Robert w.
Chambers person and property. They
argue that his action in signing away
everything he has in the world can be
accounted only on the hypothesis that
he was not in his right mind. They
seem to think that it might be possible
to show that he is not responsible. II
the courts should so hold, the ante
nuptiaI agreement would not be worth
the paper it is written on.
New York, Sept. I'm return Tor
the iron clad ante-nuptial agreement
by which Robert w. Chanler bound
himself to turn over practically all OF
his fortune to Lima Cavalier, it devel-
oped today that the pair entered into a
verbal agreement. by which Cavalier
agreed to pay off Chambers debts. clear
his property from its mortgaged in
debtedness and turn over the first So
600 coming to her out OF the written
agreement to Chanler's first wife, in
settlement OF alimony due from
Chanler.
This agreement, however, being YER
bal. will be hard to enforce, it is adj
mitted by CHAMBERS friends. 1t indi-
Gates the hard head for business pos
sessed by the diva, who bound her hus-
band by a compact from which he will
have difficulty in escaping.
CAVALIER, it is said, agreed to pay
CHAMBERS debts in the belief that they
did not exceed $25, 900. When she
found that they were twice this sum,
she began to renege.

E. H. Gary, chairman OF the board OF

conditions in the United States are fun
damentally sound" continued Mr..
Gary. Business conditions in Europe
can also be described as satisfactory.
THERE'S great deal of money in France
that probably would be invested in our
securities we're it not for the fact that
there has been placed in the minds Of
the investing public some doubt in re-
gard to the immediate political future
in this country. They are hesitating
and waiting for the situation to become
clearer. France is an Investment
country distinctly separated from other
countries which are more speculative.
French people will only invest where
interest and dividends are certain to be
regular. am convinced there will
be no trouble whatever in industrial
conditions in America unless it is the
result OF the uncertainty caused by po-
litical agitation.

A WOMAN,s CHARGE.

That girl prisoners outraged in the
Queens county, N. Y, jail, not only by
officials but by male prisoners, and that
it was impossible for any girl to reform
who had ever been confined there, is
the accusation made by Miss Mary
Donnelly, a militant suffragette. Miss
Donnelly was matron in the Queens
county jail up to three years ago when
she was removed for failure to obey
the regulations. She claims that her
discharge resulted when she tried to
protect the women prisoners under her
charge. Reformation was impossible
for any girl, after she had spent one
night in the Queens county jail, " said
Miss Donnelly. 1T wasn't jail at
all, it was dive. Not only did Off
Gals of the prison degrade the women
prisoners, but they put the poor crea-
lures at the disposal of male prisoners
and the men OF the town. One girl
told me she had been bad girl when
brought there, but she had never
known there was so much wickedness
in the world as she had seen there"

SATURDAY EVENING, SEPT IL

The importance OF indictments like
those Just obtained against the Chi
cago packers, popularity identified as
members OF the beef trust, lies III
their being an effort to punish the
individuals who are alleged to be
responsible for combination in res
traint of trade, rather than the cor
poration through which they Operate,
or, as the judge put it to the grand
Jury. not to "indict a mere alias, "
but the real offenders The process
OF indicting and causing the dissolu-
ton OF corporations has not produced
the result expected of it. Generally
the dissolved concern has merely
changed its alias" Forbidden as
pool. it became a trust. Prescribed
as a trust, it became holding com
pany. The holding company device
falling under the ban, lawyers are
already casting about for some new
alias" The tendency toward COM
bination may have been somewhat
checked by various court decisions
against individual combinations, but
the process has been far from reversed.
Concerning these indictments the New
York Tribune says:
The new tack which the govern
ment appears to be taking may be
more successful if verdicts of guilty,
followed by prison sentences against
proved monopo!ists, can be obtained.
Hitherto the belief has been generally
held by prosecuting officers that while
iuries we're ready to indict and find
guilty an alias" they would balk at
finding the real offenders guilty. 1t
has not yet been concluslvely shown
lust what the attitude of the jury IS
toward the adage, Guilt is always
personal" In selecting the beef
trust for a test the government has
chosen the most unpopular trust wheth-
or deserveldy so or not we do not pre-
tend to say. Mr.. James X. Garfield,
who does not incline toward lenlency
with the corporations, after a long
inquiry classed it with the good ones.
A Chicago jury may or may not agree
with him.
