that the above figures will have to

Every real estate dealer in the city
who handles city property reports a
wide inquiry for both residence and
business property. but every dealer
also states that where buyer can
get at the water and sewer mains
there are very few lots for sale, and
take the city over there are probably
not many residence lots for sale in
excess Of fifty where the buyer can
have these conveniences. This con-
dition will be greatly relieved by the
opening of the new addition on the

New York, March 2.-Resolutions
to name street in Harlem "T. Roose-

manic favors bestowed some time back
OH DR.. Frederick A. Cook were up for
consideration before the board of al
dermen today but no action was taken
in either case. The Roosevelt pro-
posal was referred to the committee
on streets and highways; the Cook
matter was tabled.
Alderman Droscher thinks the way
the board has treated Commander
Peary is shame. His was the resolu-
ton tabled. 1t recited that the city,
through its accredited representa-
tives. stands on record as recogniz-
ing the discredited and ignoring the
real discoverer of the North Pole."
and urged that the board place itself
on record as recognizing "Peary as
the only man who ever carried the
flag to the North Pole"

the voices of those women became ap-

yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Vaughn
arrived in Kirksville last night. She
was allowed to go where she pleased
to stay at the home of friends, to be
as free as if no indictment ever had
been issued against her, and all the
while a warrant for her arrest was
folded in the pocket Of Sheriff Will

Youngess Girl Ever Tried.

Chicago, March 2.-Estelle Stout, a
20-year-old girl, on trial for the mur-
der of Henry Hornberger, picture
frame agent, whom she shot and kill
ed on December 1. 1908, was acquit-
ted today. Miss Stout, who declared
that she killed Hornberger in defense
of herself and sister, Mrs. Lucille
Chambers. was exonerated by a cor
oners jury shortly after the tragedy.
Hornberger's widow, however refused
to accept the coroner's verdict and
took the case to the criminal court.
Miss Stout is an orphan and the
youngest girl ever tried for murder in
Chicago. She said Hornberger called
at the home of her sister and tried to
collect charges on a picture which he
claimed her sister had ordered en-
larged. The sister refused to pay the
bill, according to testimony, and af-
ter an argument the agent struck her
several times. Miss Stout said she
then went to the aid of her sister and
after Hornberger had threatened to
kill them shot him through the
heart.

Washington. March 2.-The scoffing
of certain persons at the proposal that
congress bestow upon Commander
Robert e. Peary the discoverer of the
North Pole. a gold medal and a vote
of thanks as a reward for his service
has led the subcommittee of the
naval committee having the matter in
charge. to look UP history and ascer-
tain how many persons have been
granted this honor.
A summary of their investigation
show that but two civilians and about
a dozen military heroes have had the
honor of the thanks Of congress be-
slowed upon them.
The Civilians were Cornelius Van
derbilt, who presented 100000 to the
government for use in the time of
war. and Capt. Gleadall of the steam
ship Atlantic. for heroism at sea.
The military men who have been
SO rewarded are Generals Grant,
Banks. Burnside. Hooker. Meade,
Sherman. Sheridan. Terry, Tomas
and Hancock: Commodore Ringgold,
Lieutenant Colonel Bailey, Captain
Rogers. Admirals Porters. Farragut

feet that in their opinion that the
friends of Commander Peary should
place considerable value upon the

LETTERS TO HIM
Man Accused of the Murder of
Prof. Vaughn Used Clever
Scheme

Kirksville. Mo-, March 2.-The lure
of big city. it's multitudes of people,
its happiness and crowds and amuse-
ments. its safety for those who love
and yet do not care that friends
should know it. the safety of flight
that is one of the things upon which
the prosecution is building its hopes
for conviction in the Vaughn case.
For it was this picture, it is said,
that was contained in letters, believed
to have passed between Mrs. Alma
Proctor Vaughn and DR.. James r.
Hull. Jointly accused of the murder of
Prof. J. T. Vaughn last October. And
the city looked forward to, the city
in which the man and woman are said
to have believed they would have been
safe from inquirers. was Kansas City.
Told by Two Women.
This information was part of that
communicated by two women to the
grand juries which Investigated the
Vaughn case. 1t was not in letter form
but gathered from blotters. scraps of
paper and copying a letter which was
being written by Mrs. Vaughn one
day when the two women were pres
ent. Altogether there are the con-
tents of three letters which are in
the possession of the prosecution. and
in one of these. it is said. Mrs.
Vaughn spoke of going anywhere on
earth that Doctor Hull desired her to
go. but she spoke of Kansas City es-
pecially as the most logical place.
Doctor Hull was called dear" in
this letter, it is said, and love was
mentioned. And Mrs. vaughn's let
ters were not all that aided in the
bringing of an indictment. For. it is
said. one letter from Doctor Hull. in
tercepted by those who were investi-
eating the case. spoke of love Also
The letter was amorous. according
to information. and spoke of the flu
ture as being heaven for both the
widow and himself. 1t told. it is
said. of the doctors anticipation of
the future and of his impatience for
the time when they would be together.
How Suspicion Was Aroused.
1t was by queer circumstance that
the first suspicion of the contents of
letters believed to be between the
two was gained. One day. not long
after the death of Professor Vaughn,
Miss Elsie Kirk and Miss Emma Har-
watt. both of kirksville, were at the
Vaughn home. Mrs. Vaughn was
writing letter. There came a call
at the door bell. Mrs. Vaughn rose
to answer it. AS she did so she threw
a newspaper over the letter she had
been writing. and as she left the room
one Of the young women hurried to
the table and lifted the paper. A
single sentence brought suspicion and
her companion was called. Then the
two copied as much as possible of the
letter and hurried away to tell those
who were investigating the case of
what they had found. AS Il result.
the prosecution intercepted the reply
to that letter and this, it is said. is
the one from Doctor Hull in which
the future is talked of as a time OF
heavenly bliss.
Doctor Hull and Mrs. Vaughn both
sleep in their homes in Monroe City.

HE HAS MADE
ENOUGH MONEY
James A. Patten, the Cottor
King Is to Retire From
Business

chicago, March 2.-"I have made
enough money; am going to quit u
These words, spoken by James A.
Patten. wheat king and cotton mon-
arch, came as the explosion of a
bombshell at the close of business on
the board of trade today. Mr.. Pat
ten supplemented his announcement
by saying that he would retire from
active business July l and that with
him would retire w. H. Bartlett, head
of the firm, Bartlett. Patten & Co.,
and George w. Patten, brother of
James A. Patten, and another men,
ber of the firm. The aggregate wealth
of the three is variously estimated
at between s20,0OO,00O and $35 5,OO0,-
900.
The house of Bartlett. Patten & Co
will be reorganized and the younger
members of the firm will carry on
the business as at present, with capi-
tai left in the co-partnership by the
three men now about to retire. The
tremendous influence that James A.
Patten has exerted on the grain and
cotton market markets of the world
will be felt no more
Will Enjoy Their Money.
Bartlett and my brother also have
enough money. We've been busy max
ing it, now We are going to enjoy it,
added the senior Patten.
This set speculation astir around
the board of trade as to how much
money the two Patten brothers and
w. H. Bartlett have made out of their
various deals.
Each Worth Millions.
James a. Patten and w. H. Bart
lett are each worth from $S,OOO,OOO
to $12,000.0O0 and George w. Patten
is worth anywhere from $5,OOO,O00 to
$1O,000,000 was the consensus of opin-
ion as to the wealth of the three soon
to retire, although each one who dis
cussed it admitted that he was merely
guessing.
Mr.. Patten will sail for Europe for
short trip within a few days, but
he will return in time to unite with
all his partners i'll arranging for the
withdrawal of the three who say they
are through with the market. and of
the capital which they will take with
them out of the company.
I'VE are getting along in years."
said Mr.. Patten. in discussing his pro-
posed retirement. land we all have
made our fortunes. Each of us three
has as much money as he needs, SO
why should We keep OH amassing
it?"
Each Has Reasons of Health.
Mr.. Bartlett has special reason
for wanting to retire, inasmuch as he
never has fully recovered from from
his injury incurred when his horse
threw him several months ago OH his
ranch in New Mexico. He has felt
his responsibilities pretty heavily
lately and has wanted to be relieved
from the necessity of remaining
around the office keeping an eye on
things.
I'VE will reorganize the firm, leav-
ing in the company Golfers just
enough capital to enable the younger
members to transact business as be-
fore, and we will withdraw our own
personal shares. We will neither of
us engage in active business again,
but rest and spend our money, enjoy
ing the comforts it will bring us. My
trip to Europe has nothing to do with
business"

Philadelphia Business Men Are
Trying to Avoid the Strike
Calamity -
PREPARATIONS GOING ON FOR
THE GENERAL STRIKE SATURDAY
All the Labor Unions May Not Respond
Because of the Existence of Trade
Agreements-More Cars Being Run
and With Larger Patronage.

Philadelphia, March 2.-As the time
draws nearer for the general sympa-
thetic strike of all organized labor in
Philadelphia in support of the trolley
men. the pressure being brought to
bear on the Philadelphia Rapid Tran
sit company to submit the matters in
controversy to arbitration is becom-
ing stronger.
The menace of general strike and
the consequent prostration of prac-
tically all lines of industry has stirred
up the business and the large em-
ployers of labor. The efforts to have
the company accept arbitration in
some form We're renewed today with
vigor.
The ultimatum issued by the Rapid
Transit company directors that ''the
company has not changed, and will
not in any manner change it's attitude
with respect to arbitration already
outlined in its reply to the minister's
association" has not disheartened
those are working for peace.
Both branches of the city council
will meet tomorrow afternoon and
some action by the political organiza-
! tion in power is not unexpected.
While the efforts to bring about
peace are being made. organized Ia
Dor is going ahead with arrangements
to carry out the general strike order
of the Central Labor union. There
are some unions, however, that be-
cause of trade agreements, are not EN-
/ thusiastic in the calling of the SYM
pathetic strike. The indications are
; that the general strike order will not
be unanimously obeyed.
Each day the Rapid Transit COM
pany has more cars in service than
on the previous twenty-four hour pc
riod. The public, too,: il. patronizing
the cars in increasing numbers.
Violence for present at least has prac-

the mountain side was half q mile
long. Most Of the passengers in the
train, were asleep and received no
warning of the danger. The trains
and locomotives were buried by the
debris and II was six hours after the
avalanche before the rescue parties,
made up from workers sent to attack
the snowdrifts, located them.
The Spokane express has been
stalled at wellington since last
Thursday. The passengers have been
eating at the railroad boarding house
and at nearby cottages, but have re-
turned to the Pullman cars at night.
Two days ago the passengers, fearing
a catastrophe of this kind, asked Su-
perintendent O'NeIll to have the train
moved back into the Cascade tunnel,
where it would be protected. Mr..
O'Neill is said-~to have declared that
the train was perfectly safe, in the
siding at Wellington, and ordered it
left there. :,
1t will be impossible to reach the
scene of the wreck today except by
foot. From the east side of the Cas-
cades the approach is cut off by the
snowslides at Drury, six miles east
of IIeavenworth. The station at the
former place was destroyed and the
watchman killed. The wounded are
being cared for at Wellington, but
will be taken to the big hotel at
Scenic as soon as. possible. 1t is ex-
pected that the bodies of the dead will
be embalmed, it being Impractical to
bring them on sledges. The weather
in the mountains is warm and the
rescue parties will be in constant
peril from snow slides.
