Poisoned Banker Dies After Fight.
B. Sanders Walker. the young bank
er, whose fight against death aroused
national interest, following the acci-
dental taking of a bichloride Of mer-
curry tablet, died at his home in Macon,
Ga.
Up to the last Walker refuser to al
low any signs of grief about his home.
His last words were endearingly ad-
dressed to his wife, who sat at his
bedside holding his hand when the end
came.
In his last minutes of consciousness,
when he reused from a heavy stupOr,
in which he had lain, Mr.. Walker
pressed his wife's hand and said faint
ly, Il love you, Marie" He never
spoke again.
Walkers death occurred almost
seven days from the time he acciden
tally swallowed the corrosive subj.
mate tablet, lacking only one hour and
a half. AS long as he enjoyed a clarity
of mind his mental state was such
that he materially cO-operated with the
physicians in their heroic efforts to
save him, but when uraemic poisoning
developed and his brain became cloud
ed he began to sink.

PELKY AND BURNS HELD

Prize Fighter and Promoter Accused OF
Manslaughter In Mccarty's Death.
Arthur Pelky was put under arrest
in Calgary, Alberta, upon a charge OF
manslaughter arising from the death
of Luther McCarty, though Pelky was
exonerated by coroner's jury. Tommy
Burns also was taken into custody on
a manslaughter charge. Both are out
on bail.
Referee Ed Smith, of Chicago, and
Billy Mccartney. McCarty's manager,
have been ordered not to leave town
until the trial, which may be held un'
der the fall assize.
Following is the verdict of the coro-
ner's jury:
1--WE. the coroner's jury, find that
Luther McCarty came to his death ac.
cidentally. the immediate cause being
a subluxation Of the cervical vertebrae,
at the Burns arena, May "a, but there
is no evidence to show how this injury
occurred.
I'VE, the jury, therefore exonerate
Arthur Pelky from all blame whatso'
ever"
DR.. H. H. Moshier, who conducted
the autopsy Sunday night, was one Of
the first witnesses at the inquest. He
testified that a blow on the edge OF the
right jaw, the dislocation Of the fourth
cervical vertebrae, the hemorrhage OF
the brain that followed and the forcing
of blood into the spinal canal, were
the causes of McCarty's death. He was
on the stand for more than an hour and
was questioned closely by Attorney A
Smith, who appeared for Pelky and
Burns.
Referee Smith testified that not one
hard blow was struck during the bat
tie. His testimony was brief.

RECEIVERS FOR
FRISCO LINES
Railroad Co. Unable to Meet
Maturing Loans.
c. & E l. ALSO INVOLVED
The Immediate Cause of Action is the
Railroads Inability to Meet s2,25o,-
600 Obligation.

Thomas II. West, chairman OF the
board of directors Of the St Lou
Trust company, and B. l.. WincheI'
president OF the St. Louis & San Fran
cisco Railroad company, were appoint
ed receivers for the Frisco railroad
system in the federal district court in
st. Louis.
The receivership proceedings were
decided on at a conference of large
bondholders of the railway and a num-
her of the directors, including B. F.
Yoakum. chairman of the board;
James Campbell, Thomas West, Festus
fJ. Wade. B. L. Winchel, president OF
the company, and Murray Carleton.
The petition was made in the name
of Mr. West and other directors. It
was based on the inability of the rail
road to met a maturing loan OF S2'25O'-
600 on short time per cent notes.
due June l.
Soon after his arrival from st. Paul
Judge Sanborn went into consultation
with Frederick w. Lehman, attorney;
Henry S. Priest, attorney, and Mr..
West. The St. Louis Union Trust COM
pany heretofore has been taking care
of the important financial obligations
of the Frisco system.
A director. who would not allow his
name to be used, speaking of the COM
pany's affairs. said:
THE Frisco has been under a Sc
we're handicap for some time. Operat-
ing expenses and fixed charges have
continued to offset large gains in gross
earnings. due to increased wages for
trainmen and the high rates prevailing
for money. In the southwest floods
year and two years ago the Frisco
suffered losses running into the mil
lions"
The total bonded Indebtedness Of the
system is s237,872, ,162. The total mil
cage, including the subsidiary lines is
7544 miles.
Shortly before the appointment OF
the receivers for the Frisco system
the Chicago & Eastern Illinois rail-
road. which is controlled by the st.
Louis & San Francisco, was also plac-
ed in the hands of receivers. The com
plant was filed by the Railway Steel
Spring company.
William L. Jackson, vice president
of the road, and Edwin w. Winters, OF
New York, were named as receivers.
In the bill of complaint it is said
that the road has s7O,00OO00 of bonds
outstanding, on which there is an an
nual interest due of more than $S,0OO,-
600. The outstanding Indebtedness of
the road was placed at S5,372,O5O, Of
which s2,6OO,OOO is in accounts pay
able.

Cut Rates Upheld by Supreme Court.
Patented articles sold under price
restrictions by manufacturers may be
resold by retailers at cut rates.
The supreme court so held in the
caes of a newly-patented nerve tonic.
Safety razors, talking machines and
thousands of other patented articles
are affected by the decision.
The courts decision was five to four,
with Justices McKenna. Holmes, Lur-
ton and VanDevanter dissenting. JUS
tice Day announced the majority de
cision, which held that while the pat
ent law gives the owner the eXclu i've
right to "vend" articles. that was not
the same as a right to keep up the
price"
That, the court held, was not grant
ed by the patent law Many manufact-
urers had Joined the manufacturer of
the nerve tonic in his fight to sustain
the contention that his patent gave
him a right to sell or use his patented
article under any conditions as to re-
sale price he might see fit to impose.
All decisions in the lower courts with
the exception of one have been in
favor Of the manufacturers.
Under the cloak of the legal mo
nopoly granted by the patent laws
many industries, it is contended, con-
troll the price of patented articles to
the ultimate consumer. The depart
ment of justice has cOntended that
once a patentee sells his patented ar
ticle he loses all control of it, and is
powerless, especially in view of the
Sherman antitrust law, to establish
resale prices
