HUMAN HEAD FOUND
 IN PACKING CASE

Vienna, August 9-(SpeciaD.-A grim
 discovery in the British postoffice in
 Constantinople is engaging much atten- tion here.
 wooden packing case consigned to the ex-sultan. Abdul Hamid was discov- cred among heap of undelivered par cells, inside the case was found q leadcn |casket. which, when opened was found to contain shriveled, withered human head.
 It is reported a laconic note was also enclosed in the case stating that thS head was that of the murdered Midhat Pasha, the first Turkish premier, for warded according to instructions to con vince the sultan of his death. The latter statement is improbable since the exc cution of Turkeys great liberal grand vizier took place at Taif. In Arabia, in 1884 and Its details are well known.
 The murder of Midhat and two of his friends was carried out with cruel bar parity, and their deaths were officially attributed to fever The story of the as- sassination Is told in the Life of Midhat Pasha,' written by his son, who received a pension from the young Turkish gov ernment and lives in Constantinople.

goat and to point the finger of scorn at national politics for the ills that may befall the nation.
 The tobacco trust is becoming involved in maelstrom of litigation which threat ems to postpone the day of dissolution
 into the indefinite future. Injunctions and all kinds of civil action are being pla anned and a general tie-up seems one of the certainties of that situation. shrewd suspicion exists that a part of this lti- gaton Is being inspired from the inside for the sole purpose of causing a delay.
 Wall street found time to smile with the receipt of a bulletin on the news slips that MT. Newman Erb and Edwin Haw- ley, dealers in and consolidators of rail- roads, had acquired control of Iowa Cen tral and Minnesota and St. Louis, which they proposed to blend in one system and add thereto 45O miles of new lines at a cost of $l5,000,0o0. MT. Erb is one of the most slSilful manipulators of the securities of small railroads In the United States. He was associated with the late Jay Gould for years and proved an apt pupil. Indeed. he has improved on the wizards ways in many respects.

life. If the old wooden cars had been in use on the train there would undoubt- edly have been a terrible butchery of passengers. As it was, the accident was attended by small loss of life. The pub licity departments of the steel car manu- lecturers are in high feather and are saying that the substitution of steel for wooden cars will be very greatly expe- dited, to the profit of the car makers.
 The campaign for the suppression of wicked trusts gained mighty victory in New York this week. After months of tfreless effort the local authorities ob- tained verdicts against the New York chicken trust and sent 13 of the male- factors to Jail under three months sen tences. The chicken butchers feel that they are being discriminated against and complain bitterly because the men higher up have not been punished.
 Wall street hears an unverified report that the Illinois Trust and Savings bank is to be made executor of the estate of the late John w. Gates. MT. John J. Mitchell. president of the Illinois com pany. and MT. Gates were warm, per- sonal and business friends ever since MT. Gates made his appearance on the stage of large action.

S112. .00o, GOO. The stocks of other railroads held in the Union Pacific treasury are as follows: Baltimore and Ohio, 323 34c shares; Chicago and Northwestern, 401S shares; Chicago and Alton pre- ferred, 1O3,421 shares. The drop in these issues amounted to IS points in Baltimore and Ohio, 27 points in Chicago and Northwestern, fl points in Alton, 90 points in Illinois Central and o6 points in New York Central-this from the cost price to Union Pacific. The great Hartman holding and railroad company has gone steadily down hill ever since the death of the founder and supreme manager. Ungallant remarks are made in this connection about the follies of petticoat management, the inference being that Mrs Hartman has mixed things up in trying to conduct the enor- nous business left in her hands by MT. Hartman. On this issue, however, there are many conflicting stories. One Is that Mrs. Hartman has had nothing to do with the management of the road, hay ing disposed of the great bulk of the es- tate holdings very soon after her hus- bands death, the sale having been made largely through J. P. Morgan & Co.,. their friends It is now very generally believed that actual control is lodged with the Morgan house and that in due course or time there will be complete reorgan- lzation of the company along strictly Morgan lines.
 some people find 1t hard to reconcile that theory with the retirement of MT. Henry c. Prick from Union and South ernf Pacific directories, he having sup posedly held closest personal and business relations with the head of the Morgan establishment It is noted. however. that MT Prick has not been so intimate with lne Morgan people the last year or so as previously. In fact, an actual cool ness IS said to have sprung up between MT. Trick and MT. Morgan, originating with the elevation of Judge Gary to su- preme control of United States Steel. For Seve'ai years prior to that promotion of Judge Gary, MT. Prick was if in the steel trust. Not an important move was made by the corporation officials without the Prick O. K. He, has not been con suited in the management of the trust TOT year or more. His holdings in
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-08-20

steel are believed to be smaller now than ever before. It is, therefore, not
 impossible that he should have sold out his Union Pacific when he learned that MT. Morgan had become paramount in that corporation. Mr. Prick has always been man of great personal pride, and on numerous occasions has refused to play second fiddle to anybody or to sub ordinate his personality and talents for any man or any interest unless he could have a very large voice in forming and carrying out the policies. MT. Prick s withdrawal from Union Pacific has been a decided factor of weakness
 Labor troubles in Great Britain have had greater market effect on New York stocks than the threatened strike of shop men and machinists on western railroads. The determined stand taken by western railroad managers against the demand of their workmen created the impression that the trouble was not going to be very serious. This idea was strengthened by the lukewarm attitude of the strikers themselves. The impress sion has been formed that the threat ened strike is largely confined to leaders and agitators and that the great body of men are not in sympathy with ef- forts made to force the railroads to yield to the demand for higher pay and better hours. It is believed that. the strikers understand fully that railroads would have no trouble in filling the vacancies. Times are hard and hundreds of thou sands of men are at present without em- ployment or working on part time. Such being the case, 1t Is not surprising that the stock market took small account of the western agitation, although it was casually mentioned as one of the causes of the big slump. If it figured at all, 1t was only as minor incident
 Washington has been real factor. The growing belief that Congress will adjourn with the tariff issue still unsettled and the country turned over to two years of needless agitation over that disturbing issue caused q loss of confidence and Is driving capital back into the hole again. There was a hope that the two parties would get together and do something for the restoration of business quiet. When it became apparent that this would not be done and that the manufacture of po- ltical capital was regarded in Washing ton as of greater importance than a re- turn of prosperity. men of affairs heaved a long sigh of resignation and girded themselves for another year or two of endurance rather than action. The feel ing grows that Congress and the admin istration can legitmatey be held to blame for such business retardation and hard times as the country may be called upon to endure. Wall street will do the best 1t can to make Washington the
