A FALSE ALARM
Reported That CITY Counsellor Melvin
Had Be Injured Ia Runaway
Accident

Considerable excitement and appre-
hension was caused among his friends
this morning when it was generally re-
ported that City Counsellor X. p. Mel
win, had been hurt in run away ac-
cident. Like one of the reported
"deaths" of the late Mark Twain, the
report was greatly exaggerated"
however, and the only real trouble Mr..
Melvin got into was the long walk back
TO Annapolis from far down the South
River Road.
Mr.. Melvin left early this morning
in a sleigh. bound for ducking trip.
His horse got stuck in high drift, and
when the young City Counsellor got
oat to give lift to the sleigh. his
horse-ship gave jerk freed the run
ners and started for home on the
double-quick, leaving his owner in the
snow piled road.
When the animal returned to the
stables with an empty vehicle conisd
cradle apprehension was felt and Mr..
George T. Melvin started out at once
to hunt for his son who was met sew
eral miles from Annapolis plodding
home through the snow-piled country
roads

ANOTHER TYPHOID CASE
Midshipmsn Maury Whose Roommate
Has Desesse Was Admitted To The
Hospital TODAY

Midshipman Serfein Fontaine Maury,
of New Jersey, member of the third
class was today admitted to the Naval
Hospital suffering with.typhoid fever,
making the twenty-eighth case of the
disease to develop among the members
of the brigade. The authorities still
hold to the belief that the original
source of infection even in this late
case is the infected milk.
Another possible explanation of
Maury's case is the fact that he roomed
with Midshipman Adolf Won Seheyen
Pickhardt, who developed the fever
several weeks ago and was admitted
to the general hospital on November
q, and may have got the disease
through this source of infection. He
has had fever for two days and did
not develop far enough 10 be sent 10
the hospital until this morning.

MULvANE LANDS A PLUM.
Helvetia Milk Condensing Company
Will Erect $780, 900 Plant.

Mulvane, Kan. Jan. 15.-This town
is now certain to be heard of from
this time forward, and its product, if
not its name, will be in everybody's
mouth. The Helvetia Milk Condensing
company of Highland, ILL.,, has decided
to locate a plant here for the con-
densing of milk, and will commence
at once to arrange to spend 100000
on buildings and equipment. The
plant will give employment to 100
persons and will pay out in cash to its
employees and for milk the sum of
$4,000 a month.
No such a plant has ever been To-
Gated in Kansas, and several larger
it. Among these are Newton and
Wellington Representatives of the
company have been here for some
time making Investigations regarding
the number of cows within a proper
radius of the town, the facilities for
terest to the company. site for the
buildings has been purchased on the
right of way of the Santa Fe Railway
company inside the town limits, and
work will be commenced on the build
ings at once. 1t is expected that one
of the buildings will be near enough
in completion by the first of next
April to enable the company to COM
mence business here.
The Helvetil company, which now
has five large factories in this country,
manufactures the we'll known brand
of Pet" cream, which is sold every
where. Its business has grown to such
proportions that it has been found
necessary to build another factory, and
Mulvane is fortunate il. being chosen
for its location More than dozen
new residences have been planned in
the event that the plant is located here,
and it is certain that Mulvane will ex-
perfence a growth such as it has never
known before, within the next few
months.

ALL ROADS GIVE RECEIPTS.
Lincoln Solves Problem of Getting
Good Deliveries.

Lincoln, Neb.. Jan. 15.-When repre-
sentatives of the railroad freight de-
partments and Lincoln shippers held
meeting on December 8 at the CONNER
ciaI club and discussed the situation re-
lating to delays in local shipments. but
one road doing business here was CIV
ing receipts to shippers for freight de-
livered at the depots for forwarding at
the time of delivery. That road was
the Burlington. The shippers insisted
on receipts being given at the time Of
delivery, whereas the practice had been
to send receipts for the freight the day
following.
On January 6 the Rock Island an
nounced that it would give shippers re-
ceipts when freight was delivered for
forwarding at the depot. The Missouri
Pacific followed on January Z, the
Union Pacific on January 10, and the
Northwestern on January IL, all agree
ing to give receipts at the time of de-
livery. One point insisted on has been
gained.
Reports show that shippers have not
all conformed to the request of the
roads that shipments sent to the depots
be sent there intact. One complaint has
been made that one shipper sends part
of a bill in the morning and the balance
in the afternoon and that this subjects
the whole shipment to delay. The sit
uation, however, in this respect has
been improved.

MEXICO CENTRAL EXTENSION.
Also Rumored That Rock Island VIII
Control New Road.

Albuquerque, N. NJ, Jan. 16.-That
the New Mexico Central railroad will
be completed into Albuquerque and
that the spur to the Hagan coal fields
will be constructed at the same time
was the assuring statement made by
Charles. J. Lantry well known con-
tractor, who has arrived here. accom-
panied by two field engineers.
cit is my opinion that this line will
be built into Albuquerque and to the
Hagan coal fields" said Mr.. Lantry,
whether the construction work is
done by me or some one else"
Asked as to whether or not the
Rock Island company had any designs
on the New Mexico Central, Mr.. Lam
try declared the rumor that the Rock
Island had secured control of the road
was all ''bosh.''
'I do not care to disclose the iden-
tity of the men behind the PROPOSE
ton to complete the Central said Mr..
Lantry "but I can say that the story
that the Rock Island cortemplates
taking it over is untrue. 1t is, of
course, quite certain that the Rock
Island will have traffic ARRANGEMENTS
with the New Mexico Central and will
run trains into Albuquerque over New
Mexico Central tracks.
"AH ] care to say now is that the
matter of building the New Mexico
Central road into Albuquerque is now
In a critical stage and it is time for
conservative action by everyone who
has the interests of the city at heart "
