Hill, the great railroad mayn.tc, was
summoned to Washington to testify

In the examination Mr.. Hill had an

he thought of several things. lie
was asked il he believed the govern
ment should take charge of all the
business in the country. His char
acteristic reply was to the point. He
said il the republic did that it would
not long be republic, but a mon
archy. He said he believed the gov
eminent should control all big enter
prises. 1t should see that all the
money subscribed for stock was paid
in; then there should be no watered
stock whatsoever.

heads in Washington lots Of ideas to

LABOR LEADERS ARRESTED.

The result of the deliberations of
the federal grand jury. sitting for
several weeks in Indianapolis, called
to investigate dynamite outrages, was
the issuing of warrants for the arrest
of several labor leaders in different
parts OF the United States. The ar
rests began Tuesday and will con-
tinue until all the indicted men are
in the tolls.
The dynamiting Of buildings and
bridges, which were being construct
ed by nOll-uniOn labor, has been car
ried on for several years without de-
lection. so long as there was no hu-
man life destroyed the outrages at-
tracted but little attention. The
destruction Of the Times building in
Los Angeles III which II lives were
lost aroused the entire civilized
world, and after Il year Of great de-
tective work the culprits were run
down and are now serving long SEN
fences in the penitentiary Of Califor-
mia.
The rounding up of these criminals
years after the crimes were commit
ted teaches Il lesson to all criminally
inclined people.
There is sure to be a day Of reck-
oning.
The sorrow caused by the unlawful
acts Of these culprits will not be a
marker to the grief that will come to
the ruined families by the arrest and
punishment OF the accused.

HOMESTEAD LEGISLATION.

Late Washington adviccs cay that
the enactment Of legislation that will
facilitate the development Of the West,
and cheek the rush of American farm
ers TO Canada, is not rs bright rs
western senators and representatives
had hoped for. and unless there is a
material change in the situation the
land laws now on the statute books
will remain with very little change
for another year or more. The trOu-
be, primarily. lies in the fact that
Secretary Fisher does not indorse the
views oi those western men in con-
gress who are striving to amend the
laws in the interest Of the honest set-
tier. The secretary, like several Of
his predecessors III Office. cannot get
away from the belief that thousands
upon thousands of crooks are only
waiting Il chance to pounee down on
the public domain and gobble it up:
while western men in both branches
OF congress are trying to convince the
secretary as we'll as eastern men in
congress that the average hOmeSeeker
IL man of honest purpose and de-
serving of trust.
Ii can readily be understood that
with the secretary Of the interior OBJ
jecling to very liberal legislation,
and with western senators and repro
scn;atives objecting to strict legislR-
tin, there are many chances Of wreck
ing both ;he bills proposed by the
West and those proposed by the see
rotary. And there is apt to be IL dead
lock, at the expense of the West. un-
less some compromise is reached. A
start in the direction of refol ming
the land laws was made when he sen
ate passed the Borah-.DOnes three year
homestead bill, which not only dim
inishes the length of time n home
steader must reside upon his land in
order to get title: but also permits
him to be absent from his land six
months in each Of the three years fix
cd by the bill. Within two weeks ar-
ter Senator Boran's speech exposing
the hardships to which the American
homesteader is exposed the senate,
without a dissenting voice. passed
the bill, in the hope that it would re-
ceive' favorable consideration at the
other end of the capitol. But at the
very moment the senate was passing
the bill. Secretary Fisher was urging
the house committee on public lands
to kill the bill, because he regarded it
~ far too liberal in its provisions.
secretary Fisher objects to the
Borah-.JOnes bill on several grounds.
He doesn't think any homesteader
would be entitled to Il patent after

A LOST BOTTLE OF RADIllM.
ITS POSSIBILITIES OF CRIME
Paris Cor. New York American

lFarls Cor New York Au1erican.)
tiny tube of radium from the
laboratory of Madame Curie has been
lost in Paris. Uncomfortable terrOra
and dangers surround this apparently
tritiing occurrence.
The tube Of radium may cause
death or mutilatiOn to innocent and
ignorant persons, or. III the hands Of
criminals, it may become an instru.
ment for committing crimes that will
defy detection.
This Tube Of radium is shooting out
rays at the speed of $4,000 miles
second. The powers of those rays are
only partly understood, but it is
known that they can cause terrible in.
jury and death according to the length
Of exposure.
The lost tube was given to mes.
stnger for conveyance to an Ameri.
can doctor in Paris. On arriving nj
MS destination the messenger found
that he had dropped the tube or been
robbed Of it..
Already the suggestion has been
widely spread that radium might he
used in crime. and has certainly been
acted upon in some instances.
The police are Investigating series
OF crimes believed to have been COM
mitted by q gang moving in fashion,

Ut their number is Il brilliant and
beautiful woman OF noble birth, who
las played the part of IL social hos
tess with great success.
They plotted to get possession Of
, the fortune OF a millionaire named
Count de Castillon. Having made his
acquaintance, they invited him to stay
at y handsome chateau they rented i'm

hostess. With them was their beauti-
ful young daughter.
After a week in this house the
count was stricken with an attack of
! general paralysis. \ doctor was
promptly called in and failed to give
the sick man any relief. He was
greatly puzzled by the case, for he was
unable to find any explanation OF the
disease or any history which might
have led up to it.
The count gradually grew worse

The woman expressed the deepest
grief at this event, and explained that
the dead man had been engaged to her

slightly aroused by the behavior of
the people in the house. A strange
circumstance suddenly, strengthened
these suspicious.
While attending the dying man the
doctor had accidentally carried away
with his instruments an ordinary COL
lar button belonging to the patient.
When he discovered it he placed it on
a glass dish in his office and forgot it
for some days. Then the sufferer
died.
The doctor picked up the glass dish
and was astOunded to find that it had
assumed Il strong violet tint. This,
as nearly everybody knows, is the in
variable effect of radium OIL glass.
The doctor Immediately carried tile
button and dish to Il laboratory.
There it was found that the shaft
Of the button contained tiny speck
Of radium of high power, SO placed
that there was only Il partition of y
sixty-second of All inch between it
and the outside Of the button which
would rest against the wearer's neck.
The medical men Informed the po-
lice OF the circumstances. The latter
found that the deceased had left
will leaving all his fortune to the
young daughter of the mistress Of the
chateau. The girl and her mother
were taking the usual steps to have
the will put into effect.
Police and scientists pieced together
Il theory that one OF the conspirators
had acted as valet at the chateau and
had changed the counts collar button
for one containing the particle of ra-
dium. The deadly substance, worn
dayafter day over the spinal cord Just
below the base Of the brain, had in
evitably produced paralysis. The con
spirators had previously forged
! will, dated some time before the visit
to the chateau, leaving the counts
property to the young girl. Every
step in the plot had been carried out
with exquisite skill.
The supposed criminals will fight
desperately for the property, and it
will be exceedingly difficult to prove
the case against them.
Just now Madame Curie is suffering
from mysterious illness, at first
diagnosed rs appendicitis, but now
decided not to be that disease. 1t is
! believed that the radium NAV h.va
had specially destructive influence
on her intestines without showing it's
effect on the outside of the body. 1t
| is also possible that she has absorbed
large quantities Of radioactive water,
which has remained in her tissues.
