Kelly Girl.

has been received today by friends of
Frank Gould it is said. in which he
says that his marriage with Miss Edith
Kelly, the English dancer, may be an
event of the future. Mr.. Gould S

sages last night on the report that he
had welded the little chorus girl in
Europe. Mr.. Gould is reported in his
cablegram as saying there will be no
ceremony until permanent disposition
of the two children by his former wife.
Curiously enough the maiden name of
the first Mrs. Gould was Miss Helen
Kelly.
While the divorce proceedings were
on Frank Gould met Miss Edith Kelly,
the dancer here and his attentions to
her were marked. Five months ago
Gould and Miss Kelly departed for
Europe.

GOMPERS TESTIFIES.
Before Committee Arbitrating Strike
of SWitchmen.

Chicago, March 9.-Samuel Comp
ers, president of the American Fede-
ration of Labor, was the first witness
called to the stand today on behalf of
the Switchmen's union of North
America, whose wage dispute with
eight railroads is now under discus
sion before a board of arbitration as
provided by the Erdman act.
Mr.. Gompers testified that in his
Judgment, the work OF switchmen is
the most hazardous of all classes of
workingmen. This, he says, is evident
by the fact that life insurance pre-
miums for switchmen are higher than
for other craftsmen.
Mr.. Gompers also declared there
had been marked increase in the
cost of living since 1908, which he
said, made it imperative that the
switchmen's demands should be
granted.

Can the picture houses be controlled

Yes, anything that would be crit

A General Advance in Rates on Meat
Products Causes Protest.

Chicago, March 9.-Representatives of
the commercial clubs of Omaha, st.
Omaha, the stock exchanges of those
cities and the stock yards Organizations
came to Chicago yesterday and protested
to western railroad officials against the
proposed increase in the rates on packing
house products and dressed meats.
The purpose of the commercial men was
to protest both against the discrimination
which the Increased rates would create
in favor of Kansas City and against the
increases as being unreasonable and un-
just in and of themselves.
The increases in the packing house rates
are to go into effect on March 20, and ap-
ply to all the Missouri river cities with
the exception of Kansas City.

rested for the Frankford shooting and
that the police are searching for five
other men who were on the car. The
captain said the disturbances were
caused by the new men and that the
shooting was uncalled for.
The transit company, in a statement
on the affair today, said that for one
that arrived at the F'rankford barn had
all windows broken.
Most of the trouble, the company
says, was caused at Frankford avenue
and Unity street, where it is declared

crowds in the attacks on cars. One of
these men, the company declares, has
been arrested and warrants are out for
the others.

plant.
