NEW YORK-Special.- Ralph
Hill Thomas, who was formerly Mrs.
Helen Kelly Gould, sailed for Europe
with her husband today on the liner
Kaiser Wilhelm Der Crosse.
AT the same time her two children
were being held under guard by their
aunt, Miss Helen Miller Gould, to
whom they were taken when seized by
detectives late yesterday following
their mothers marriage. Mrs. Thorn

Frank Gould and married yesterday

Pony Express Rider.
RICHMOND. VA-Sne

r c II MOND, VA. Special. -
Perhaps the most picturesque fig
ure on the old trail was the Pony Ex-
press rider. The Overland Stage
proved too slow for mail and express
in its flight from the Missouri to the
Pacific. True IL had cut down the
months OF the old ox-team to twenty
five days, and still there was a clamor
that the East and West be- brought
closer together-and il was done. The
Pony cut the time to ten days.
Those who were personally ac-
Quainted with the famous Wells,
Fargo Pony Express of those days
could never forget the intrepid rider
who braved all peril, forgetful OF self,
intent only on the speedy delivery Of
his precious mochila to the next
hardy horseman. Hard and fast he
rode over mountain and plain, across
scorching desert and icy snow
through sunshine and rain, past
friend, away from foe, to the final
achievement-the safe delivery OF his
charge.
Forty fearless horsemen in saddle
riding west, as many more riding east
and this novel but useful enterprise
was in motion. For two years the
Pony Express carried messages of
business and love across two thousand
miles Of Western mountains mad
plains, over country peopled with
or development, through region
wild, desolate and little known.
II was in 1859 that the Pony Ex-
press was established. The route,
hostile race, destitute of cultivation
briefly stated, was due west from ST.
Joseph to Fort Kearney, up the Platte
to Julesburg, thence, by Fort Lara
mie and Fort Bridger, to Salt Lake
City, thence to Camp Floyd, Ruby
Valley, the Humboldt, Carson City,
Placerville and Folsom, to Sacrament
to and San Francisco by boat.
The intention Of the Pony Express
was TO carry letters only, and not
more than ten pounds at a trip. 1t
was decided that the safest and east
est mode of carrying the mail was to
make four pockets. one in each corner
of the mochila, a covering made of
heavy leather for the saddles and
generally used by the expert Mexican
and Spanish riders. The mochila was
transferred from pony TO pony. and
went through from st. Joseph to San
Francisco, the pockets containing the
mail being locked and opened only
at military posts en- route and at
Salt Lake City. These precious letters
were wrapped in oiled silk to protect
them. but even this precaution some
times failed. Rivers had to be cross

r &c H M o Nd, VA. Special. -
Police Captain Elijah p. Hulce. re-
tired, died this morning at $3.50
o'clock in his home on Brook Road,
near Lakeside, in his sixty-sixth year.
Captain Hulce succumbed to an at
tack Of heart failure. His death was
not unexpected, as he had been
in declining health the greater part
OF the time since his retirement from
the police force.
Captain Rulce was retired in Au-
gust two years ago, at the time being
desk sergeant at the Second Police
Station. He was acting Chief OF Po-
lice for nine months prior TO the
appointment to that office OF the
present Chief of Police, Major Louis
Werner. April s, 1905.
Captain Hulce was elected q mem
Der of the police force June 16, 1872,
and, after serving as a private In
the Second District for nine years,
he was, in 1881, made sergeant and
assigned to duty in the Third District
(now known as the Second).
On April IL, 1890, he was elected
captain for the remaining three
months of the term OF Captain
Charles H. Epps. who had resigned
to become a candidate Tor the city
sergeantcy. He was later reelected
and assigned to the Third District.
For several years, while Captain

tiers at the office of the Chief OF Po-
lice.
Major Poe regarded Captain Hulce
as one Of his best men, and one well
qualified in every way for detective
work Captain Hulce was q man of
nerve, was well educated. gentle in
manner, kind-hearted even to the
most hardened criminal and had a
ready eye for the detection Of offend
ers-
Captain Hulce was one of the most
prominent Pythians In the State. He
was past grand chancellor of the
State. He was born at Yellow Tav-
ern' Henrico county, October 20.
1874.
Captain Hulce was twice married,
his second wife, who was Miss Martha
+. Orme, surviving him.
He leaves two children-Herbert L.
Hulce, deputy city collector, in the
office Of Collector Cunningham. and
Mrs. John E. Seaton.
The funeral will be tomorrow after
noon at 2:3O o'clock from the resi-
dence of his daughter, %oO6 Grove
Avenue, and the burial Will be in Hol-
lywood.
There was no more gallant fighter
for the Confederate cause than Cap
tain Hulce. He served throughout
the period that tried mems souls
and, returning to Richmond, engaged
in business until he was elected to the
police force.

AUTOS CAUSE RACE
SUICIDE KANSAS?

TOPEKA - Special. Are Kansas
mothers kept so busy with their auto
mobiles that they haven't time for
ba bies?
This seems to be the case. The vi
tai statistics gathered by the State
Board Of Health show a decrease of
2.130 babies born in 1903 from the
number born in 1908.
Il am ashamed of the record" said
f. T. Fairchild. who has Just COM
pleted the school census statistics for
the present school year. There is
nothing better anywhere than some
hne, fat babies playing around the
house. and there is no more interest
ing happening anywhere than to
watch little children studying their
first books.
while we should feel proud that
the average Kansas farmer is pros
porous enough TO own an automobile.
ii is deplorable that with the advent
of the bubble wagon the births should
begin falling Off
I'm 1907 there were $500 babies
born in Kansas. In 1908 the baby
crop was $3.50. a decrease of 10.
The total for 1909 was 1850, q de-
crease of 2,130 for the year"

RADICAL RAILROAD REGULATION
AND ITS EFFECT ON ALL BUSINESS
T. A. Griffin Writes on Present Conditions and Points Out U
innate Results AS They Appear to the Mind of an Active
Railroad ManThe Uncertainty as to What the Government
Will Do DiSCourageS Investors

With enormous crops command
ing the highest prices ever known,
with every kind of business on a
safe and sensible basis; with mer-
chandise stocks Of all kinds almost
at a minimum; with everybody de-
sirous of making good all the neces-
sary improvements which the past
two years depression would not per.
NIT of, and to fill up stocks which
have been almost depleted, with
plenty of money and credit to do
these things, there is a hesitation by
the greater part of the business cont
munity, for the reason that some
thing has appeared calling a halt in
the progress which had so fairly
started in the latter half of 1909.
The one great and most apparent ele-
ment which has caused this hesita
ton, is that the railroad corpora
tions of this country have stopped
the purchase of anything beyond
their immediate necessities, so much
so that betterments which had been
projected, (Which are not only bet
terments, but in great many cases
are almost, or soon will be necesSi-
ties) amounting to over one thOus-
and millions of dollars, have been
held up. It is customary for rail-
roads to prepare their budgets of
expenditures January list. If these
budgets had been prepared on the
lines of necessities the outlook for
general business, particularly among
manufacturers, would be exception
ally good for 1910. These budgets
have not been presented, and are
not within call, or even within the
sight of those who would gladly well
come them, and it is doubtful when
we will be able to make any reason
able forecast in the manufacturing
and commercial world. 1t is un-
questionably true that the railroads
would gladly enter into a year Of
liberal expenditure. but as matters
stand now, it is quite possible they
will be compelled to drop back into
the condition they were in the latter
part of 1907 and during the year
1908, that is, purchase nothing eX-
cept that which is absolutely essen
tial and the reasons are exactly the
same as those that existed in the
early part of 1907, that is Radical
Railroad Legislation"
Our legislators seem to be un-
mindful of the causes of the depres-
sion of 1907 and 1908, and give ev-
cry indication of re-entering the
field with even more laws to inter-
fere with and discourage the invest
ment of money in railroad enter

vice. and more business for every
one particularly the working man
and when it is considered that in
reality 80 per cent of all the money
received by the railroads and our
selves goes directly to the working
people, we should have the solid en-
dorsement and individual support of
every working man in the country.
Cause.
The trouble with the whole situa-
tiOn is that many of the men who
make the laws are not familiar with
the true inwardneSs of the relations
and dependence which the manufac-
turing and business interests have
upon the general railroad situation,
nor do they realize that i'm adminis-
tering their sO-caIled discipline to the
railroad companies, that we are to
n great extent the ultimate consum-
ers of that discipline.
Remedy.
Tell your national and state rep
resentatives that halt must be
called on all "Radical Railroad Leg
ulation." and hand this letter to
some one else and ask him to do the
same TODAY.
