stand and questioned regarding the
circumstances of the affair. Korpala

reling when Hukkela cut him with a

wore a coat. which was slashed tc
ribbons.

TOO OLD FOR Meeting
Roanoke Island Veterans Adjourn
After Last Reunion.

New York, Feb. 9.-seventy,fiv,ee
survivors of the Union corps wnlen
tonight at Roanoke Island fifty years
AGO This week. met here last night Tor
the last reunion dinner they will ever
hold. For forty years these veterans
have met annually as the Roanoke as
sociation, to celebrate the first impor-
tant union victory of the civil war, put
now. feeling the weight of the passing
years-for all of the survivors are Wen
bevond their three score and ten
they have found it necessary to give

PLAN EXPRESS MERGER
Wells Fargo About to Absorb the
United states Company.

New York, Feb. 9-Action taken by
the board of the directors of the United
States Express company probably indi
Gates the early merger OF. that concern
with the Wells Fargo company.
At a meeting Of the board the Har-
riman interests in the United States
company we're further strengthened by
the election Of four of the seven mem
bers of the board. This gives the Har-
riman estate quite as dominant control
of the United States company as it has
of the Wells Fargo. The men elected
are C. c. Tege1hoff for years cOnfidenA
man; Joseph w. Hartman, president
of the Hartman National bank and
nephew of the great railroad financier;
A. G. Hackstaff, vice president of the
Illinois Central railroad and William
j. Averill, vice president of the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad.
One of the newly elected directors
admitted that the securing of control
of the United States Express com
pany by the Hartman interests means
that in the near future it Will be
absorbed by the Wells Fargo Express
company. The merger will be brought
about, he added, as soon as the legal
difficulties in the way have been over
come. The United States Express COM
pany is an old-fashioned copartnership,
while the Wells Fargo company is an
uD-to-date corporation. This consti-
tutes a legal obstacle of an unusual
character in the matter of merging
two great companies engaged IN the
same business but the obstacle is not
regarded as insuperable.
1t is supposed that in the event Of
the merger being accomplished the
United States Express company Will
completely lose its identity and thus be
wholly removed from the field as a
separate common carrier as all eX-
press companies recently were defined
in an amendment to the interstate
commerce law.

STATE TAKES ISLAND.
John Perry's Heirs Lose Contest for
Fathers Property.

Bate, Me, Feb. 9.-Maine's so-called
''outcast island" off the mouth of New
Meadows river, which has perplexed
the authorities for several years. is now
the property of the state and the 30
inhabitants will reside elsewhere.
The heirs of John Perry, original
owner of the property, known as Nal
aga island. brought suit sometime ago
to obtain possession of the island.
The inhabitants, although they had
never paid rent or taxes. maintained
that they should not be disturbed mas
much as their Observation-Disclosures, grand
fathers, and fathers had lived and died
there.
The purchase of the island by the
state ends the litigation. Ten of the
islanders have been brought to the main
land and sent to a home for the feeble
minded and the others say they Will
leave voluntarily in the spring.

Philadelphia, Sept. 6.-That the

that he has gathered together vast

the opinion that the United States is

adjust local conditions; but my per-

Waldo testified that he called be-

ders had been given by Waldo thar
no disorderly houses should be raided
without his instruction. He said In
spector Hayes told him he understood
his instructions from Waldo thus.
Waldo denied ever having given any
such instructions.
HAYES counsel declared he wished
to show that Mayor Gaynor's policy
was one under which the social evil
was recognized as an unconquera BILE
problem which had to be endured
but that the evil had to present the
front Of outward decency: that in the
failure Of Hayes to raid the disorder
ly houses he was merely rejecting
this policy.
