suggest the offering of a $4,000 prize
for an aeroplane flight between New
York and Chicago, and who volunteer
ed a subscription of $1,000 toward the
project believes that the time will soon

Atlantic in the air would be q greater

IN "NfARK TWAIN HOTEL"
Judge Dyer Signed Papers Enjoining
the Railroads.

Hannibal Mo, June 1.-The
"chambers' in which Judge D. P. Dy-
err of the United States circuit court
granted the temporary restraining or
der against the twenty-five Western
railroads to prevent them from in
creasing freight rates today was a
room in the historic Mark Twain
hotel"
Judge Dyer was presiding at a ses-
sion of the United States district
court, when he received a long dis
lance telephone message from Fred
erick n. Judson of st. Louis that the
latter had urgent business to trans
act.
When Judge Dyer reached the hotel
upon adjournment of court, he imma
diately went to his room. Mr.. Judson
and Edwin F. Grosvenor of Washing
ton, special attorneys from the depart
ment of justice, arrived here about $50
o'clock. They were met at the train
and escorted to the hotel where a few
minutes later Judge Dyer received
them in his room and affixed his sig
nature to the restraining order.
Mr.. Judson, during the Roosevelt adj
ministration. was engaged with Judson
Harmon, now governor of Ohio, in an
investigation of western railroad con-
ditions. He resigned after becoming
satisfied that certain influences were
blocking the investigation.

policies that are cumulative in evil for
the future-because the properties are
not being improved or being kept up TO
the proper standard-and If we are
fortunate enough a few years hence to
have full crops and active business, and
if the railroads are then unable to do
what they are expected to do, these
same shippers will perhaps perceive
that they ought to have seconded rath-
er than opposed the efforts of the rail-
roads for better conditions. And again,
that is not the worst OF tive have re-
Gently increased wages to large

az am not especially aIluding to Atch-
ison conditions. Our directors have
been very conservative, and our stock
holders have spent on our property
much money that they might have
properly claimed in dividends. but even
the strongest among us cannot stand
under present conditions-the weaker
will. of course, drop first"
Mr.. Ripley branded as utterly false
the statement made in resolutions
adopted by shippers in this city on Nav
Z, that the net income a mile of road
for 1907 has increased 345 per cent over
1897" and that the returns for the first
seven months of the fiscal year 19O9-1910
"show a substantial increase in net
operating income" thus indicating A
healthy growth of business and rela-
lively cheapening operating COSTS On
the contrary, Mr. Ripley declared, the
returns for the year 1908 showed a de-
crease of met operating revenues" Of
s526 a mile, despite drastic economy.
Instead of increasing 345 per cent
between 1897 and 1907, as falsely repre-
scented to the shippers. the income from
operation increased only SO per cent
and if the comparison be made between
1898 and 1908 only So per cent where the
units of service in the first comparison
increased 146 per cent and in the latter
"a per cent" said Mr.: Ripley.
The Santa F'e president admitted that
the first nine months of the present
fiscal year show substantial recovery
from the slump in 1908. but declared
that the recovery was far from suf-
hcient to justify the roads in spending
money for much needed reha biiitation.

REWARDS OFFERED.
For Apprehension of the Murderer of
Alma Kellner.

Louisville, KY, June Rewards
of $4,000 have been offered for the
capture of the murderers of Alma
Kellner, whose dismembered body was
found Monday in a cellar beneath st.
Johns parochial school. The city
council will be asked by Mayor Head
tonight to add another thousand. Gov
ernor Wilson is expected to increase
the sum as soon as request is made
on him by the county judge here. The
board of public safety has instructed
the police and detective departments
to spare no expense in the pursuit of
the murderer. The police do not be-
lieve that Joseph Vending, the miss
ing French janitor under suspicion,
has returned. to France, but think he
may be found in some French settle
ment in this country or Canada. His
wife, held under charge of being ac-
cessory to the murder, still declares
she knows nothing about the crime.
The truth has been kept from Mrs.
Fred Kellner, mother of Alma, that
the body was horribly mutilated when
found. Since Monday she has remain
ed within the seclusion of her room on
the border of collapse. She can not
understand why the body was not
brought to the house or how there
should be any doubt about the identi-
ficatiOn.

FLIES TO HIS AID.
Aviator Mars Goes to Hunt for Will
lard at Joplin.

Joplin, June 1.-For the first time
in the worlds history an aviator here
set forth through the air to find and
prang relief to a companion whose
machine had met with mishap. and
the safe return of both machines was
the signal for a tremendous demon
strat1on by $4,000 persons who saw the
flight.
Opening the program of the last day
OF the aviation contest which began
mere Saturday Charles F. Willard
launched out on a cross-country flight.
His machine was under perfect con-
troll and ideal atmospheric conditions
made the flight the most interesting of
the meet. Straight to the north
across extremely uneven country, he
flew until he disappeared across the
crest of line of hills. When he did
not return after an hours waiting, j.
c. Mars, the other aviator, became
convinced that he had met with a mis-
hap and set forth to find him. Fol-
lowing the direction taken by Willard,
Mars found him six miles from the
aviation field, near Carl Junction, Mo.
that WIZARDS propeller had been
splintered by a shot from rifle in
the hands of some person whose iden-
tity is unknown. Willard was at a
height of 500 feet when the bullet
struck his machine He landed with
considerable difficulty barely escaping
collision with a clunp of trees.
AS soon as he discovered the nature
of the accident Mars flew back to
the aviation field, explained the cir
cumstances and an automobile carried
new propeller to Willard, Mars re-
turning to him through the air.
Wizards machine repaired, both
aviators flew back to the aviation field
and described figures in the air for
another hour.

WORK FOR THE CORONER
Old Man With Young Wife Dies After
Short Illness. ~

New York, June 1.-The death in
Yonkers after a ten days illness of
Edward F. HOLSTER of fremont has
caused Coroner lies today to order an
investigation. The death has brought
to light an old romance and a secret
marriage ceremony performed two
years ago. The widow was formerly
Miss Aleathe Knickerbocker Ray
mond, granddaughter of Wilson D.
Mcdonald, sculptor.
Mrs. HOLSTER, who is but % years
of age, married her second husband
a man of SO years. on October 10,
1908, but never lived with him, the
widow explaining they had no inten-
ton of living as husband and wife
until HOLSTERS fortune was retrieved
he having lost it several years ago.
HOLSTER was taken i'll May 81, and
the case from the start was a perpIex-
ing one. Mrs. HOLSTERS first hus-
band was George E. Raymond. a
mining man of wealth, who was kill
ed in an explosion a year after the
marriage. The idea of marriage was
conceived, it was said, while Raymond
and Miss Knickerbocker were mem
bers of a party on an excursion to
West Point in 1905. The young peo-
pie were testing about matrimony and
a dare to Miss Knickerbocker, she
said, resulted in her wedding with
Raymond.

PRESIDENT RIPLEYs VIEWS.
He Declares the Complaining Shippers
. Have Been Deceived.

Chicago, June They've got the
pins set against u.s." was the first COM
ment of E. P. Ripley, president of the
Santa Fe system, when informed today
that the government had secured an
injunction against the railroads of the
Western Traffic association stopping
them from putting into effect the ad-
vance rates scheduled for today. Mr..
Ripley's subsequent remarks left no
doubt that the railroads will fight the
government with the full force of their
great resources.
The shippers who have attended
meetings to protest against the adj
vance have no personal knowledge of
the subject" the Santa Fe president
continued They have been deceived
bv the ringleaders of the movement
who have distorted the facts and have
Juggled with the figures If they will
take the trouble to ascertain the truth
(Which is easily obtainable) the decep-
tion will become apparent. There is no
chance for juggling with figures, or de-
ception on the railroad side-every item
of our business is spread before the
world; our offices are full of govern
ment inspectors to see that all income
and outgo are proper, and properly ac-
counted for.
"Our gross earnings are increasing,
ut our net is declining. Who among
the shippers, would view such a state
of things in his own business with
equanimity?. But that is not the worst
of it. Such results as are now being
obtained-poor as they are-arise from
