New York, Jan. 2l.-''The postal
telegraph company will be the last
competitor in telegraphy, and when
that competition ceases there will
be a choice only between monopoly
and government ownership"
This is Clarence H. MacKay's view
of the telegraph situation in the
United States as expressed today be-
fore a committee of the state legfs-
lature which is trying to determine
the. advisability of placing telegraph
and telephones under state regula-
tion.
AS president of the Postal, he was
reiterating that keen competition be-
tween his company and the Western
Union would continue, and by reason
of this competition, he said, rates
had been reduced from 20 to so per
cent.
"How much salary do you re-
ceive?" counsel asked the Postal pres
ident.
II occupy an unique position in
that respect. I draw no salary what
ever from any of the companies.

New York, Jan. 21.-The inheri-
tance of Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, wife
Of the United States ambassador to
Great Britain, of $30,000,000, half of
the estate of her father, the late D.
O. Mills, places her among the
wealthiest women of the world. The
other half of the $6O,000,000 Mills
estate was left to Mrs. Reid's broth
er, Ogden Mills. Recent years have
seen the passing o. some of the
worlds largest fortunes into the
hands of women. The most conspic-
uous instance is, of course, that OF
the estate of Edward H. Hartman,
estimated at $780, 100000, which
was left almost entirely to his wild
ow. Mrs. Hartman is managing
the estate with great shrewdness,
and it is said to have increased con-
siderably since Mr.. Harriman's
death. The reverse is true Of the
$S0,O00,00O estate Of the late Rus
sci, Sage, since his widow is devot-
ing the greater part of her time to
giving away money. Mrs. Hetty
Green's fortune came originally to
her by inheritance. not from her
husband, but from her father

Fifteen KILLED
BYANEXPLOSION

Fishkill Landing, N. Y, Jan. III
Fifteen men, three of them Amer1'
cans, were killed late this afternoon
by a premature explosion of nitro
glycerine in a tunnel which is to
form part of the great aqueduct
which will carry water from the Ash
okan dam in the Catskills to New
York City. Five were terribly mu-
tilated, but were so near the mouth
of the tunnel that they were rescu-
ed alive. The others were found be-
meath a mass of rock and debris, lit
orally hammered by the force of the
explosion into a bleeding mass of
heads, limbs and torsos.
The cause of the explosion has not
been ascertained tonight, but it is
believed that one of the workmen
carrying torch, tripped and fell,
igniting a fuse and setting of ser
les of charges of nitro-glycerine.

can Bootlegging Joint.
SEARCH FOR MYSTERIOUS AUTO

Four men were placed under ar
rest last night and this morning by
Chief of Police Welsh and Sheriff
Schrader, resulting from a robbery
which occurred last night, when two
men, 1t is claimed, induced an
Acquaintance to become drunk for the
purpose of robbing him of his roll of
money, amounting to something over
500. The men now in jail awaiting
trial on a charge, the exact nature of
which has not been determined, are
Will Seibert, "Curley" Thompson,
Bob" McDermott and Frank Bald
win.
A second charge which the men
will have to face developed when a
green house." on the Fruita road a
short distance from town, in which
the men lived, was searched and un-
der a false floor in the cellar, not
directly under the house but to one
side, and II bottles of bootleg whisky
were found. The officers are firmly
convinced that one or more Of the
men had been engaged In the illegal
sale OF whisky.
The charge against the men will
not be uniform as it is believed that
only two of the men were directly
implicated in the robbery and 1t is
barely possible that no charge will be
made against Seibert who is young
man who has grown since Infancy in
this city and is favorably known.
Hans Peterson, a Swede, Is the in
dividual who was robbed and while
his story Is somewhat inchorent. the
fact undoubtedly remains that he lost
his money and 1t is thought that the
crime can be placed upon the sus-
poets who were apprehended.
From the mans story, he had
known Bob" Thompson before he
removed to this city and when he
accidentally met him on the street
yesterday morning they began drink
ing together, Peterson putting up the
money and Thompson buying the
whisky from some source which was
not known to the German.
About dusk the drinking having
been continued all day, Thompson
and another man induced him to go
for an automobile ride. He remem-
bers having been placed in the auto
mobile and says that they persuaded
him to get drunk, stating that they
would take care of him and take him
home If he did.
He then remembers nothing until
he, was taken from the machine
minus his money and dumped in a
ditch near the Fairlawn sanitarium.
He was seen here by Fred Jenkins, OF
the firm of jenkins and Boyer, and
as the latter suspected something
wrong he telephoned the police. They
responded and took the drunken man
to jail. After he had recovered con-
sciousness he told his story and in
sisted that he had been robbed.
1t resulted in a thorough search
by the police and the arrest of the
four men and the finding Of the hid
den liquor.
The preliminary hearing will not
be held until the assistant prosecut-
ing attorney returns from visit out
of the city.
There is much mystery surround
ing the identity of the auto used in
carrying the old man from the house
