When the workers strike for a
decent living wage or decent
working conditions, it isn't the
habit of the newspapers to tell
you much about the real causes of
the strike.
They fare forth IN big head
lines about how business" is tied
up, or how the strikers have
caused a riot-it is always the
strikers who cause the riots in the
trust newspapers, never the
bosses or the police-or whole lot
of utter bunk about contracts"
That's what the Chicago trust
newspapers did yesterday about
the teamsters' strike. They flung
big headlines across the front
pages that told that 10000 men
might" go out~on strike, and
there might" be violence and
how business" was at a stand
still.
The truth about yesterdays
strike is that there never was a
chance of it not being settled.
Beth the owners and the men
knew early yesterday that they
were just playing a game of
finesse, and that the strike would
be settled before end of the day.
But you didn't read anything
about that in the trust news
papers.
The trust newspapers have
talked lot about how the sol
diers may have to be called to Des
Moines to keep order in the team
sters' strike there.

MRS. ROOSEVELT I'LL:
FACT KEPT A SECRET

Oyster Bay, n. Y, Jan. S.-The
fact that Colonel and Mrs. Roosevelt
did not attend the morning service
at the Episcopal church in Oyster
Bay yesterday, according to their al
most invariable custom when the
family is at Sycamore Hill. was due
to the illness of Mrs. Roosevelt.
Nothing was known of her indispo-
sition until the general comment on
their absence from church caused in
quiries TO be made, and it was then
learned that DR.. G. w Faller of
Oyster Bay had been called to the
Roosevelt home Saturday night to
attend Mrs. Roosevelt. Mrs. Roose-
welt is i'll and did need the at
tention of physician last night. but
il is nothing serious and she will be
all right again in few days. said
DR.. Faller. He denied that her ILL
ness was the result of an accident
two months ago, when she was
thrown from her horse. The request
two days ago by Colonel Roosevelt
that no visitors should call upon him
at Sycamore Hill is believed to have
been due to Mrs. Roosevelts condi-
tion and the desire to afford her alb
solute quiet.

Trust Problem to Again
Figure in High Court
Rulings.
HARD COAL SUIT IS UP
Also Litigation Involving St.
Louis Bridge and the Cot
ton Corner.

Washington, Jan. S.-With more
than 100 cases under consideration, the
supreme court of the United States
is expected to hand down many impor-
tant decisions tomorrow, when it prob
ably will announce opinions after the
holiday recess. Court was expected
to adjourn today Immediately after
convening because of the funeral Of
the wife OF Justice Day.
More light may be shed on the anti
trust problem by decisions in the St.
Louis bridge case; the hard coal
suit against the principal anthracite
coal carrying railroads and coal pro-
ducing companies of Pennsylvania
and the cotton corner case, arising
out of transactions on the New York
cotton exchange.
OPINIONS ON FEDERAL LAWS.
The validity of several federal laws
may be determined. Foremost among
these is the employers liability law.
which has been under consideration
by the court since last February. A
second decision may be rendered re-
| garding the validity of the stCsrmack
amendment" to the interstate COM
merce laws, whereby initial carriers
were made liable for damages or loss
of goods whether occurring on their
lines or those of connecting carriers
The fate of score or more of state
laws may be decided. OF these, the
constitutionality of the Oregon initia-
tive and referendum system has at
,tracted the most attention, because
the ruling of the court will be appli-
cable to laws in nearly half of the
states of the union.
AS TO FOREIGN CORPORATIONS.
Foreign corporation laws of Kansas,
New York, and Texas may be passed
upon. Other laws under consideration
are the hours of service law" for rail-
road employees in the state of Wash
ington; the Missouri antitrust law;
the North Dakota drainage law; the
Kansas "black powder" law; the New
York transfer tax law; the Montana
law taxing hand laundries; the North
Carolina law regulating the receipt (
goods by railroads; and the Arkansas
law, requiring railroads to pay within
80 days claims for live stock killed by
trains.
VALIDITY OF LAND TRANSFERS.
Several general questions of law
may be decided such as the validity of
the transfer of allotted lands by thous-
: ands Of Oklahoma Indians, and the liza
bility of insurance companies for pol
, icies on the lives of men executed for
| murder. The latter point arose in the
case of Samuel J. McCue, mayor of
: Charlottesville. Va, who was executed
in 1905 for the murder of his wife.

TERRY UNDER OWN sTEAN
FLIRTING AILMENT;
6 MONTHS FOR GIRL

Trenton, N. J., Jan. S.-Whether
flirting is crime or a disease is the
question that is engaging the serious
attention of the Trenton authorities,
following the action of Magistrate
Naer in sentencing Sarah Reed to
serve six months in the workhouse
for that offense, or ailment. VIII, h
ever it may be. Several physicians
criticise the sentence on the ground
that flirting is a disease. and lawyers
contend that if this is the case the
guilty persons are not responsible
for their acts and therefore can ap-
peal 70 the higher courts. A promi-
nent business man says a youth who
will not endeavor to f1irt when he
sees a pretty girl should be jailed
instead of the young man who flirts.

Boston, Mass, Jan. s.-Specula-
tion is busy today as to what will be
the fate of Rev. Clarence V. T.
Richeson, who confessed the murder
of his former sweetheart, Avis Lin
nell. From a source close to Cover
nor Foss, the statement came that
the attitude of the executive prob
ably would be in favor of a commu-
tation of sentence of death TO one of
life Imprisonment if the laws full
est penalty is imposed.
Richeson passed a quiet Sunday.
Even his counsel did not visit him.
While the confession was known to
every member of the Emmanuel Bap-
tist church in Cambridge, over which
he was presiding as pastor when ar
rested, II received no mention in any
Of the services.
NEW CONFESSION IN DETAIL.
The statement is made on high
authority that RiCheson made an
amplifed confession to his counsel
on the following lines:
After purchasing a quantity of
cyanide of potassium from William
Hahn, a Newton Center druggist, on
Oct. %, the minister took the poison
to his rooms in Cambridge. A few
days later he borrowed from Mrs.
Frank II. Carter, in whose home he
was a lodger, an earthenware mixing
bowl, ''to make some book paste"
Returning the bowl TO Mrs. Carter
an hour or two later, he warned her
to be sure and wash it out thorough

bench in the park, after the girl had

SWINDLE DRAKES;
FIND NO ESTATE
Persons Who Advanced Money
to Get Share of Huge For
tune Are Losers.
TWO WILLS DISCOVERED
Both Show Property of English EX-
plorer Was Left to Widow
and Brother.

Bloomington, Ill, Jan. S.-Through
the cooperation Of the London Times,
local interests have made an investi-
cation of all the records obtainable in
Great Britain regarding the alleged
estate of Sir Francis Drake and the re-
suit shows the numerous persons in
the United States who advanced mon
ey in an effort to get share of
large fortune might as we'll have in
vested in the South sea bubble.
RESULTS OF INJURY.
The results of the investigation.
summarized, show:
That the estate presumably passed
to the heirs under the will 315 years
ago, and its present value is not
known and cannot be estimated, but
probably is not large.
There is no litigation pending for
settlement and distribution Of the es-
tate. There are no heirs known to be
in the United States.
A story about claimants in Ameri-
ca to the Drake estate reached Eng
land few years ago, but it was con-
sidered one of the absurd fictions
about fortunes awaiting heirs which
appear with more or less regularity.
TWO WILLS FOUND.
! There are no Drake millions. The
abstracts of the two wills of Sir Fran.
els Drake, taken from the probate reg
! istry in London, show that Drake wrote
one will on Aug. 2S, 1895, before start
ing on the expedition to the West Ind
les on board the ship Defiance, OIL
which he died Jan. 10, 1896.
The second will, written a few days
before his death, confirmed the provis
ions of the first.
These wills were proved in the pre-
PogatiSe court of Canterbury on Ma!
II, 1896. by Francis Clark, notary pub
lie for Thomas Drake, brother of the
deceased, who was made sole executor
by the last will. The mills of Plym
outh, the principal possession, wa.
left to his wife and to his brother. The
mansion and contents we're left to the
wife. These comprised the property.
The total value of the estate wa
not in excess of 950,000, as shown b!
the wills.
MANY PERSONS SWINDLED.
When the Drake estate myth wa!
first brought out in the United States
only persons of the name of Drake
were induced to become claimants
During the last year, however, som,
unknown persons, who are said t.
have headquarters in st. Louis, hav,
circulated the report that the estat,
was still intact, with an estimated
value of $3.50, 100000, and that any pei
son who advanced financial aid to as
sist the heirs to obtain this sum wouI,
be richly rewarded.
Agents of these persons have bee
engaged for the last six months
selling stock at $25 a share and hav
obtained much money from persons Il

, other cities in Illinois and Missouri.
