WANTED MONEY
Black Handlers Wanted It Thrown
From Rapidly Moving Train.

Sarcoxi, Mo-, April 14.-It developed
today that Henry B. Boyd, president of
the Bank of Sarcoxi, had within the
last four months received four letters
signed "black hand" ordering him to
produce $4,000 and threatening IL he
failed to do so, that he would be killed
and his two children kidnapped. The
writer's of the letters demanded that
Boyd board st. Louis and San Fran.
cisco train bound for Springfield. Mo-,
and throw the money from the train
at designated spot when he heard
three shots fired which was to be the
black hander's signal that they were
present.
Boyd says he made two trips: That
on the first trip the black mailers
failed to appear. On the second trip
when he heard the shots fired he threw
a decoy package off the train, enclos-
ing letter in which he told the men
it was impossible for him to comply
with their demands. Since then they
had not bothered him.
The case has been placed in the
hands of postoffice inspectors who are
now working upon it. 1t Is said that
local men are suspected.

Washington, April 14.-A pension
bill of sweeping provisions under
which all surviving volunteer officers
Of the United States army who served
six months or more would receive re-
tired pay according to length Of serv-
ice. and all honorably discharged en-
listed men over seventy years of age
and suffering a certain degree of dis.
ability, would receive q straight pen
sion of $50 a month. was reported to
the house today by Representative
Prince Of Illinois, from the commit
tee on military affairs.
In recommending the measure, the
committees report says that al
though the volunteer troops formed
ninety-six per cent of the armies of
the United States and achieved nine
ty-six per cent of the historic re-
SUITS" the regular officers have re-
ceived all the honors and rewards of
the government and the volunteer Of
ffters nothing"
The scale of retired pay for volun-
teer officers as fixed by the bill is
one-third OF the initial active pay of
corresponding regular officers, for
those who served two years or more,
and for those of less time of service
the pay is in proportion. Officers who
lost an eye or limb in the line of duty
or incurred disability as prisoners of
war would receive the full benefits of
the act without regard to length of
service.
No officer who served more than six
months would receive less than $4O0
per annum and no officer may receive
more than two-thirds of the present
pay Of a captain of the regular army.
A private soldier over seventy years
of age will receive the $50 per month

MINERS AHEAD
Iowa Coal Operators Want to Negoti.
ate With Miners.

DesMoines, Iowa, April 14.-When
John P. Reese, president of the Iowa
coal operators, moved to open nego-
tiatio1s Of the wage scale today, 1t
was q practical concession, 1t ia
-elaimad. that the miners had won
their point. - 7'i
At the opening meeting of the scale
committee, the miners balked on be-
ginning negotiations unless the oper-
ators frat agreed on the basis agreed
upon by the miners. This basis was q
five-cent advance per ton on picked
mine coal over the old contract and
corresponding advances for other
varieties, and an advance of 5.55 per
cent for all inside and outside day
labor. Mr.. Reese's motion passed
unanimously, and in the belief that
this meant a concession as to wages,
the scale committee began consfdera-
ton of the other features Of the con-
tract.
The miners have shown a tendency
to make concessions to the operators
also, and it is predicted that the 16,
900 strikers in Iowa will resume work
in very few days.

physician and surgeon, tells OF his
discovery of mycolysine. which. he
asserts, will greatly prolong human

DENUKC|AT|0N
. FOR SUGAR TRUST
Representative Rainey Charg-
ed Many Things to Repub.
lican Party

Washington, April 14.-In. delivering
scathing denunciation of the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining company. in the
house of representatives today Rep
resentative Rainey Of Illinois, did not
hesitate to make bold suggestions con-
corning that most corrupt and rotten
trust ever created by the protective
tariff system" and President Taft, At
torney General Wickersham and Hen
ry w. Taft, brother of the president.
Mr.. Rainey referred to President
Taft's message sent to congress about
year ago in which the president ad-
vised against an, investigation Of the
sugar frauds by congress for the rea-
son that 1T might, by giving immunity
and otherwise, prove an embarrass-
ment in securing conviction Of the
guilty parties"
Reviewing the history of the sugar
trust, and especially recent fraudulent
acts in underweighing raw sugar for
the purpose of defrauding the govern
ment of millions of revenue, Mr.. Raj
ney said:
"The situation in brief is as fol-
lows: Prominent stockholders and
directors of the sugar trust are in
grave danger, or at least they were
not long ago; the doors Of our peni-
tentiaries were opening for many of
them. They have, however, succeeded,
through their control of the Republi-
can party, in bringing about this most
delightful arrangement:
"The attorney general of the United
States was until his appointment a
sugar trust attorney, familiar with
the methods of the sugar trust, ex-
hibiting even now remarkable SYM
pathy for its officials in their diff
culties.
"The general counsel for the sugar
trust is an ex-assistant attorney gen.
eral of the United States, loyal to the
Republican party. familiar with the
methods and with the secrets of the
attorney generals Office.
"The brother Of the president of
the United States is one of the at
torneys for the sugar trust.

QUEBEC WANTS
Z TO EXPORT WOOD
Decision to Stop Expectation
of Pulp From Grown Lands
Disappointing

Washington, April 14-The an
nouncement that the province of Que
bee by an order in council would al
most Immediately prohibit the expor-
tatton of pulp wood from that province
to the United States was received
here with surprise ana regret. At tho
state department 1t was said that the
prospect of closer commercial rela-
tions and of trade treaty with the
dominion were thought to be suffi-
GENTLY encouraging to deter any of
the provinces from imposing prohibi-
tory restrictions at this time. The
result of such summary action as is
proposed, 1t 10 felt, would be to seri-
ously interfere with the realization of
the suggested trade treaty and might
in measure i1hliffy the good that
was accomplished by the closer friend
ly relations into which the govern
ments Of the United States and the
dominion. of Canada have recently
been brought. The, proposed increase
Of stumpage dues and license fees for
the sake of insuring increased revenue
is not questioned, but the intention to
prohibit the expectation of pulp wood
is regarded in some quarters as close
ly approaching an unfriendly act. Dur
ing the tariff negotiations in Ottawa
and subsequently at Albany and Wash
fngton there was some discussion of
the pulp wood situation but that mat
ter Is understood to have been too
late to be further discussed in con-
nection with the proposed. reciprocity
treaty between this country and the
dominion, the initial steps in which,
| ho1iovc1 mould I,a kolxa,, d,,rS,, ~
the coming month.
The question of applying the maxi
mum or minimum rates of the United
States tariff growing out of the Fran
co-Canadian treaty, 1t is said. was
settled satisfactorily and at that time
1t was understood that the dominion
government had no intention of enact
ing any regulations which would in
terfere with the expectation of pulp
wood from the entire dominion and it
was hoped that the same friendly dis
position would be shown by the pro,
vinces.
That the decision of the Quebec au.
thorities is destined to benefit Can
adian labor is the general belief of the
Washington officials. Ultimately, they
think, it will result in the establish
ment of pulp factories in the province,
thus reducing by 80 much the manu-
facture Of pulp at American works.
However. the amount of pulp wood
coming from the Quebec crown lands
is not very considerable. Last year
the total importation Of the United
States from Quebec was 1,000,' 900
cords of which 10000 were cut from
crown lands.
There are 5000 square miles of
crown lands in the province of Que
bee, of which American interests-the
International Paper company and the
Berlin Mills company-lease or rent
more than half. An adjudication of
their rights under the new order of
things will be question for the state
department to take up.

OIL CONCERN OBJECTS
TO ROADS REGULATIONS
Thinks Requirements Relating to
Shipments of Benzine and Gaso-
line Too Stringent.

Precautions taken by many railroads
10 prevent accidents and fires which often
develop from shipments of benzine, gaso-
line and naphthe have resulted in manu-
facturers filing protest with the inter-
state commerce commission.
The new freight classification, which Is
TO become effective in southern classified
ton territory August /, contains a pro-
vision that benzine. gasoline and naphtha
will be accepted by the railroads of that
territory for transportation only when
the articles are contained in iron drums
or iron barrels.
This provision is made the basis of a
complaint filed today with the inter-
state commerce commission by the Red
C" Oil Manufacturing Company of Bal
timore against all of the railroads in
the southern territory
The complainant asks the commission
TO suspend the provision at least until
il is determined that il is entirely rea-
sonable. 1t is alleged that If the pro-
vision be permitted to become effective
the Red &C. company Will be damaged
seriously because. not having the nee
essary iron drums or iron barrels. ii
will be unable TO ship benZine. gaso-
line and naphtha to fill its orders.
