COUNT GIVES UP JOB IN
CHICAGO ROLLING MILLS
Dutch NobIeman Will Now Man.
age Branch of Father-in-
Laws Business

NEW YORK, Aug 17.-Count Mourik
de Beaufort, young and good looking
with a military career of six years in
the Dutch army and the unique eX-
perience as "puddler" in the steel mills
at Chicago Heights, ILL.,, announced
yesterday that when he completed his
months vacation at Bay Head, N. j.
he would take up his residence in New
York.
81 did not give up my job in the
steel mills because l was tired of the
work." said the count yesterday. Il
made good and l have been promoted,
he replied, his face beaming the JOY Of
his good fortune. 81 shall take charge
of my father-in-laws business here"
The count came up from Bay Head,
N. j., yesterday morning to arrange for
taking over the New York business of
the Chicago Heights Railway and
Land company, of which his father-in-
law, NJ. II. Kligallen of Chicago, is an
officer and big stakeholder.
IT have established offices at No II
Wall street" said the count, land Will
report ready for duty in two weeks,
when my vacation is finished"
The count returned to Bay Head last
night to join the countess to whom he
was married less than year ago. He
did not say what his salary would be,
Job as being worth considerably more
than the work in the steel mills paid
him. For this he received $3.50 day.
81 spent seven months in the mills
and learned pretty nearly every phase
of the steel business, and l got good
insight into my father-in-laW's busl-
ness"
The count interrupted his talk with
the reporter to take his regulation
afternoon cup Of tea. 81 cannot do
without this" he said on the balcony OF
the ST. Regis. Although he did with
out all his accustomed luXuries while
working as an ordinary day laborer IN
the steel mills, he says one thing he did
insist upon was his afternoon cup OF
tea. mo matter how many hours
worked, nor how rusned l was, 1 al
ways snatched few moments to get
cup of tea. A..
"Before l met my wife," said the
count IT Travelled all over the world
and nowhere are there so many oppor-
tunities for a man to succeed as IN
this country. 1t Is nonsense to say
that lust because you have lots of mil
lionaires that they have corner on all
the money Of the country, and that
Shere is nothing left for the young
ambitious man. l have heard so many
Young men make this remark. But L
know what am talking about When
1 say that there are twenty-five
chances to succeed 'here Where q
young man would have only one IN
Europe"

POLICE SATISFIED
RAWN KILLED SELF
Chicago officers Reject All Theories
To Contrary in Death of Rail-
road President.

CHICAGO, July 21.-Further police
investigation into the mysterious
shooting OF Ira @. Rawn, president of
the Monon railroad, at his Winnetka
summer home. is at an end so far, at
least, as the Chicago police are con-
cerned. After a day of thorough in
vestigation, Assistant Police Chief
Schuettler and Captain Stephen Wood
of the Chicago detective department,
announced today that they were
through with the case, as they have
rejected all thoris of Rawn bling killed
by burglars, hired assassins or a
private enemy. The only conclusion
reached by them is that Rawn took
his own life.
The attitude OF the Rawn family,
who the police say, did everything
they could to hamper a thorough in
vestigation, helped considerably in
reaching this conclusion, but the Chi
cago police say there was nothing
found that would bear out the story
told by members of the family that
two shots were fred or that forcible
entry had been made TO the house.
The family, however, still maintain
that Rawn's death was not by his own
hand. but that he was killed in a
struggle with burglar.

To PUT A BILLION IN
SIBERIA RAILWAY
Russians Linking Western End With
St. Petersburg-Vast Exten-
sions in Asia.

LONDON, July 21.-The Russian
government is reconstructing the
Trans Siberian. railway. The total cost
OF the line. when the work is com;
pleted In 1915, will approximate 81
000, 100000 This includes the loss on
exploitation. The chief point OF inter
est I'm the vast undertaking to Ameri-
can travellers Is the proposed con-
nection of st. Petersburg and the
European Northern railway system
with the main Siberian line, the chief
approach TO which has hitherto been
throguh Moscow and Central Russia,
which is to cost $44.000,000. This new
line runs through the towns of Perm,
Ekaterinburg and Tiumin and joins
the Siberian railway at Omsk.
The most important work strate-
gically is the Amur railway, which Will
supply Russia with communications
with the Far East, running through
Russian territory alone, as against
the existing trans-Manchuria, Chinese
Eastern line.
The New Amur line will be about
|, 800 miles long and Is to cost, as esti-
mated, $3.50, 100000 The doubling and
Improvement of the existing tracks OF
the Siberian railway are already pro-
ceeding in three sections, involving a
cost Of $S5,000,000.
The Russian engineer Mikhailovsky
puts the cost OF ali the sections at
500, 500, 00O In addition 1907, 100000
is to be spent In improving the Trans
Bailkal railway. where there are steep
grades requiring double-engine serv-
ice on all trains. a large number OF
short curves. and wooden bridges over
the narrow rivers, which are constant
ly destroyed by fire.
The Ussuri railway. from Vladivos-
took to Khabarovsk, is to be improved
and the stations are to be rebuilt. The
statistical department of the Russian
ministry of communications put the
construction outlay up to 1907 on the
Siberian and Manchurian railways at
$434, 100000. The western section was
opened in 1896. Practically nothing
was paid for the land along the route.
and more than half OF the road runs
through fat territory.
The plans In hand will give Russia a
complete double track system from
the Urals to the Pacific, with double
approaches at both ends. and 1852
total mileage.

HOT FIRE A CURE FOR
HEAT AND HUMIDITY
Lancet Advises Suffering Britishers TO
Cool OF BY Side Of Lighted
Stove,

LONDON, July 21.-A paradoxical
cure for humid heat is gravely pro
posed to Britlshers by the Lancet. II
advises them 10 light a fire and dry
themselves out by it's scorching radi-
ance. Artificial heat when the wealth
er Is not and humid" Il says. lis one
OF the best means of getting rid OF the
unpleasant feelings set up By a state
OF dampness due TO high saturation."
The reasons for a fire. the medical
journal asserts. are obvious. The fire
should be preferably of wood. The fire
thus dries the air. and starts a cur.
rent through the room and up the
chimney. In this way the saturated
atmosphere Is made endurable
through radiation. The only way to
combat the languor of humidity, the
insists. is TO light a good hot fire. The
English cling To their wood fires. They
have never taken kindly to coal in the
private residences. though Il is now
used extensively I'm Office buildings.
The advice of the Lancet has been
followed generally throughout London
and the suburbs I'm the last week. and
those who have tried II report much
satisfaction at the result.
