London. March s.-Although the action Of
the United States Senate in connection With
arbitration was anticipated in official cir

President of Orient Railroad
Says They" Have Dogged
Him Sixteen Years.

Arthur f. Stilwell. the president of the
Kansas City. Mexico & Orient Railway Tor
which a receiver was appointed on Thurs
day, addressed an audience which half
filled Carnegie Hall last night on the SUD-
iect of The Money Trust" Admission
was free.
DR.. Madison c. Peters introduced MT
Stilwell to the audience, also announcing
that several organizations. Including the
National Educational Alliance, the Gooo
Government League and the Woman
Progress Club, were responsible for the
meeting. Apparently no representative CT
those bodies cared to accompany DR.. Peters
and Mr.. Stiwell to the platform, however
for the two men sat there alone.
Mr. Stilwell began with a premise that
the money trust" which, he said, con-
sisted of about twelve men. was bringing
financial, II not social, revolution 10 the
country. He added that it had dogged his
steps sixteen years.
"You can't imagine how feel now, after
going through sixteen years Of persecution
by the money trust" he declared.
DR.. Peters locked as II 1t was hopeless
riddle. scattering few In the boxes
smiled, and most Of the audience seemed to
be wondering how II would be to have a
money trust after them.
1T was perfectly awful" Mr.. Stilwell ex-
planned. II may be the Paul Revere Of the
financial revolution"

CROP PROSPECTS GOOD.
Outlook for Tomato and Sweet Corn
Pack L. Excellent.

The prospect for the crop Of toma-
toes and sweet corn being grown for
the packing department Of the Western
Grocer mills is regarded as good, II
not better, than at the same time Of
any previous year since the company
began growing these crops on large
scale. The prospect for the tomato
crop Is especially good at this time.
and very much better than it was at
the same time year ago. The recent
