 Financial Mess
Especial from United Press.)

\opCCldl lTOIIl OultGu SSo't
 Boston, Jan. 7.-Federal postal ln- worst tangled financial webs they have had to deal with here in some time, when they went over the books and papers seized in the raid on the palacial offices of Victor M. Well, mining promoter, broker, publisher of the Mining Review" and philanth- ropist. Veil, who was arrested, ar rafgned and held in $3,000 bail, which he furnished, charged with most of the day in consultation with his counsel.
 Every year Well gave the children, of the Hebrew Home for Orphans. an outing. He devoted the front page of the Mining Review to the last outing, using his left hand with good effect to appraise his right hand in glowing terms of what he had done. He had been under the surveillance of the postal authorities for some time.
 It was estimated that he had re- ceived almost $25O,000 from his in- vestors, mostly poor people. The present prosecution is based on the Old Glory Exploration Company. Well also was the Intertrust Security Company and many other gold min- ing companies, so far away that none ever met anyone who knew anyone who actually saw anything like a mine there. Well has had trouble off the local curb and he was driven out of Hyde Park, suburb, after es- caping a charge of criminal libel for publication he ran there. He at one time lived in New Haven and came originally from Newark.

FACTS OF EXECUTIONS
 IN BRAZIL
Especial from United Press.)

Rio Janeiro. Jan. 7-Charges that the government is suppressing the facts regarding the execution of the active participants in the recent mu- tinies aboard Brazilian warshi.ps. are heard on every hand today. The sen- sational story in the Journal Do Com mercio that 45 of those mutineers have suddenly and mys.eriously died since the initial outbreak on November 22 is given absolutely no credence. It is interpreted as @ lame attempt by the government to explain the absence of the mutineers who are believed to have been summarily executed.

STATE ATTORNEYS BRUTAL PROBE OF
 POISON MYSTERY
Family of Dead Girl Still Object of ROob's Searching
 Investigation
Especial from United Press.)


 Cumberland, Md, Jan. 7.-Balked by last nights unproftable inquest the authorities, today, again took up, with unabated zeal, the seemingly hopeless search for a solution of the Elosser-Twigg poison mystery. Though discouraged by the results of the in- quest, States Attorney Robb declared that he would keep at the case until ne finds the perpetrator of this hide OuS dced. RObb' said that the in- quest satisfied him beyond doubt that Grace Elosser and Charles E. Twigg were the victims of murder on their wedding eve.
 The family of the dead girl was still the object of investigation, to- day. Robb is convinced that around their conduct, when the crime was discovered, swings the whole progress of the case. He did his best. by grilling cross examination that at times was almost brutal. to break through the story they told at the in- quest. But the descriptions given by the father, mother and the two pale faced sisters of Grace ElOsser dove tailed neatly. Not material differ ence appeared in their testimony de- spite Robb's brutally intimated sus- picions.
 Three new points formed the basis of Robb's investigations, today. The hrst was the discovery of the recent ly eaten fruit cake in the stomachs of the victims and the discovery of a similar cake in the Elosser home. The second was a alight bruise or discoloration on the arm of Twigg and the third was a mysterious attack that prostrated May Elosser, after the body of her sister had been removed from the parlor. pr. Ford described the attack as having all the symp- toms of poisoning by hydrocyanic acid, the poison that killed the sweethearts. May Elosser declared she knew nothing of the nature of the attack but supposed it to be a nervous collapse. Just before she was stricken she returned to the par Tor where Twigg's body lay, although she said she did not know she was in that room.
 Much of Robb's activity against the Elosser family, today, is a result of the testimony of Robert Young, who declared that few minutes after the tragedy he rushed to the Elosser house and was turned away by the family. who declared he could do nothing for them.. The father, he said, ordered the house barred. Rok b wants to know just what took place in that 15 minutes after Mrs. Elosser heard her daughters dying scream.

MIR. COWLES' APPEAL

Editor of the Farmer:
 Sir-The last Legislature of Conrer- ticut, by a practically unanimous vote and after long consideration. passed a resolution introduced at our request by Representative Birdseye of Farm ing on, requesting the representatives of the State in Congress to do all in their power to secure to the public postal express service carrying mer- chandise up to four pounds at Sc pound.
 Notwithstanding this act of the Leg islature, not a single representative Of the State of Connecticut, either of the House or the Senate. appeared at the parcels post hearings of last spring at 5 Washington. and if they had appear ed, it is very certain that both of the Connecticut Senators. would have op- posed the measure and for the reason given by the Hon. John W. Weeks of Massachusetts chairman of the House handling Of merchandise by the post office is an infringement upon the business Of the express and railway companies.
 Connecticut is about to elect a Sen- ator to take the place of MT Buikeley. will they elect another railway Sena- tor? This. I say to the people or Connecticut, is the question of ques- tions for their consideration today. If they fail to elect man who openly pledges himself to the widest possible extension of the public service, post office, they will do to the people of the State most grievous wrong. IL is not a question with the people or Connecticut today ts to whether thelr representa- i've in the United States Democrat-the question of questions is "shaIl he represent the New York & New Haven railroad, or shall he rep- resent the people of the State?'
 It seems to me absolutely criminal that this question should be decided the Connecticut Legislature when the people of the State have elected Democratic Governor by very con- siderable majority.
 The farmers of Connecticut. who make up the bulk of the Republicans interested in an extended merchandise post that shall save them at once from the exploita ion of the express companies and of the New Haven road. There must be enough Repupii- cans in the Legislature to join with the Democrats in electing a Senator who will represent the common inter est of all the people of the State.
 Senator Brandegee of the New York & New Haven road has given out or rule and because forsooth. if 1t fatis in it's power. Senator may be elect ed who will not be of his railroad faith. As an old citizen of Connecti- cut. I ask every voter in the Connec- ticut Legfslature to place his freeman's oath above the command of any eau GUS and to vote for a Senator who. in his individual Judgment, will best serve he common interest at once of the State of Connecticut and of the United States.

DEBORAH Farmers Cooperative So.
ciety Enjoined as a Combine.

DEBORAH, Ia, Dec. IA case was
decided in district court here yesterday
by Judge Hobson, which is far reach
ing in effect and scope, in which he de-
creed that farmers cooperative
company cannot enforce special re-
quirements from the membership, but
must enter the open market for bust
ness the same as any other concern.
Henry Reeves, an extensive hog buyer
throughout Iowa and southern Mime
sofa, has been buying on the local mar
ket for years. The DEBORAH Farmers
Cooperative society, organized in 1908,
adopted bylaws requiring all members
of the company selling hogs or produce
to any other individual or company to
pay into the treasury of the company
five cents per hundred weight, which,
in effect, compelled any one else doing
business in the territory to pay five
or ten cents per hundred more than the
farmers company for stock. This
amounted to about $25 per car. Be-
sides the officers of the company went
into the open market and bid for hogs
from owners who were not members of
the society. Reeves complained that
it was combination and unlawful con-
spilacy in restraint of trade, and if
continued would create monopoly of
the market for the society. Judge
Hobson rendered lengthy opinion,
perpetually enjoining the society from
conducting business in this manner as
prescribed by its bylaws. The case
is without precedent and directly af-
fects all farmers companies and their
method of doing business.
