OFFICERS STICK TO
SUICIDE Theory
No Inquiry II Made Into Death Of
John A. Caldwell-wife Claims /,
He Was Murdered. /

FLINT. Mich, Feb. 11.-(Specfaf9-S
John A. Caldwell. OF Cass City, N here
TO investigate the death OF his broth
er, Arthur r. Caldwell. who was found
In field yesterday morning with bul4
let wounds In his head and body. He
does not believe that his brother com
mitted suicide and he declares that
he will not cease to press the inyesti-
cation until he discovers something
that will actually prove death was
self-infiicted.
Caldwell's wife holds to the murder
theory just as strongly az Sherifr
Parkhurst maintains that Caldwell
committed suicide.
She states that her husband had q
large sum of money on his person
and that for two years he had feared
some one; that he did not have a re-
volver when he left his home. In her
opinion these facts, In addition to the
peculiar angle at which the bullets
entered his body and the out OF the
way place, all lead to murder.
The authorities are positive that it
Ia a case OF suicide. and practically no
investigation has been conducted be-
cause OF this belief.
All the circumstances they main
tain indicate that Caldwell entered
the summer cottage near the field
where he was found and shot him
self. !.
After the shooting they think he re-
greeted his action and dragged himself
across the field toward farm house.
The revolver has not been found

quarter million dollars are to be spent
for advertising during 1911 by the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
railroads. This startling statement
was made at the end OF conference
OF some 90 OF the passenger offcials
OF the lines interested, held In Chi
cago this week.
Such an expenditure for advertising
Is unparalleled In railroad history and
indicates the great confidence OF the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
railroads In the prosperity OF this
country. 4t
By this appropriation President r.. s.
Lovett and his associates are indors-
ing the policy OF the late Il. II. Har-
riman. The 81 10000 will be divided
between the two roads--the former
receiving two.fifths and the latter
three-ffths. A large share OF the en-
tire amount will be devoted to news
paper and periodical advertising and
the bulk OF IL will be spent In the
United States, but q considerable sum
will be spent in showing the people
In foreign lands. the many advantages
OF living in the western part OF this
country.

against the present government
There win be another revolution and
another provisional government-Re-
publican again. But IL will surely be
a worse government than the present
one. for there are literally not enough
competent and incorrupuble men In
Portugal 10 form another as good as
the present one. So, I am convinced,
there will be successive upsets until
some man steps into the situation
with strength enough TO establish or
der by the use OF force.
This may happen while the present
government lasts. but II will not be
done by the revolutionary leaders es
a body, because as a body, although
clean most of them are visionary
mere theorists, writer's and philoso-
piers. Moreover, they are already
split into factions and intensely jeal-
Gus OF one another.
To illustrate the point that the new
government intends to give the people
a chance 10 improve themselves,
Machado spoke of the prevalence of
strikes since the establishment or the
republic Under the monarchy" he
said, there was law against strikes.
II is our view that workers have a
right TO ask for what they want and
TO strike If they don't get IT, So we
repealed the old law and naturally
strikes resulted The strikes, how
ever, are not anti-Republican in the
least. Machado says that Portugal has
no aggressive military plans" and
that while the constitutional conven-
ton will likely provide for brief COM
pulsory military service, the army will
be maintained only for defensive pur-
poses and for use in the colonies.
There is absolutely no chance of Port
'ugal forming a union with Spain,
Machado says.
One thing that Machado and his
secretary, Senior j. Batalha-Reis con-
WINGED me OF was that there will be
no restoration OF ex-King Manuel, no
matter what the outcome of Portu.
gals governmental efforts. Bathalha-
Refs characterized what Is undoubt-
edly the overwhelming sentiment re-
garding Manuel by declaring:
"The people don't think anything
about him-good or bad. We don't
hold him responsible for Republican
mfsgovernment. He was mere boy
and a mediocrity. He was merely
victim OF circumstances and his reign
is ended forever"
Nor are there any indications OF the
slightest hope for the pretender, Dom
Migeul, His name is hardly mention
ed in Portugal. Y
While the possibility OF return to
may be slight, there Is
danger, as I see It, OF the establish
ment OF military Dictatorship. The
present governments hold on the peo-
pie is of the slightest. The vast ma
jority of the people are densely ignor.
ant and have only a slight conception
Of what republic means.
The new government has not
brought the expected relief and the
people are becoming gradually more
and more dissatisfied.

NEW YORK, Feb. li.--That the

Ing quarters IL being fostered by the
interests" as part OF the movement
TO secure control OF undertaking
magazines, was the statement OF
magazine publishers here today. IL
was pointed out that the so-called
popular magazines would be the
greatest sufferers and IL was said that
IL the bill becomes law several sup
posedly prosperous properties will be
thrown on the market. This would
permit the monied men to pick them
up at bargain counter prices and
would consummate much quicker the
Morgan combine OF current htera-
ture
Just how the increase will foster
the cheap magazines was explained
by statement of s. S. Mcclure who
admitted at the outset that the cost
of the editorial departments for in
vestigations of one sort or another"
is expensive. This Is especially so, II
was pointed out in investigating do
ings of the interests"
In the case of McClure's," II was
said, IAN increase OF four cents n
pound In advertising will cost $92,S00
additional year. At best the profits
OF this class OF magazine are not
large and the natural result must be
loss OF circulation and standing. II
the law is enacted the influence OF Nc
Clure's and all similar publications

bers late Thursday night entered the
home OF Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Rauch.
FIVE miles southwest Of this city in
La Sale township, bound and gagged
the couple, and fed with $3.50. The
sheriff and posse started in pursuit
OF the robbers. They abused and
mistreated Mr.. and Mrs. Rauch, who

the cords about their hands and

cut into deep ridges.
A passing neighbor was attracted

INDIcTS CITY OFFICIALS.
Cincinnati Grand Jury Charges Fraud
In Paving Contracts.

CINCINNATI. Feb. n.-Indictments
were returned by the grand jury yes.
terday against Public Service Director
Harry Sundmaker, City Engineer II.
f. Shipley and three contractors, Au-
gust Henkel, Conrad Henkel and VIII.
lam Coney. The charge is fraud In
public contracts In permitting ma
terial to be used that differed from
the specifications OF the contracts.
II was known that the grand jury
had been investigating the paving OF
Readlng-rd. and Eastern-ave. but II
was not thought that report would
be made before next week.
The main point OF the accusations
against the five men Is that Struthers,
instead OF Portland cement was used
in part of the work by the contract
ors and that the public officials either
knew of il and failed to correct the
error or they were negligent In not
learning OF IL.
The indictments are brought under

punishment on conviction of the Of.
