SENDS TRUST
GENTLEMEN
To JAIL

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
CINCINNATI, o., Feb. "a
The people of Cincinnati were
rather dazed when Judge Hollis
ter sentenced 81 general trust
men to Jail for breaking the Sher-
man antitrust law.
They wouldn't have been sur
prised if Judge Lands OF Chica-
20 had done it; but Judge How
ard c. Hollister-aristocrat, re-
publican, social leader of the
Queen City-how could such
gentleman" be so unconvention-
al?
1t was against all precedent
for a federal Judge to order rich
monopolists to the Jail house in
stead of slapping them on the
wrist, adjourning court and TAX
ing them to the club to have a
drink. That fact alone was
shocking.
And then to think that such
judicial rudeness should emanate
from a man who grew up with
President Taft, and played
hooky with him, and robbed or
chards with him, and mingled in
society with him, and was ap-
pointed to the bench by the
same judicial temperamented
PRESIDENT!
There are those who hint that
he imposed the jail sentences be-
cause President Taft told him to,
in order to round out the presi-
dents term with something real
in the way of trust busting, and
quiet his critics. However that
may be, Judge Hollister has pur-
sued a pretty independent course
on the bench.
The Judge is 81 years old. He
went to Yale, graduating in
Taft's class, became a lawyer,
practiced in Cincinnati, was as
sistant prosecuting attorney of
the county for a year or two, then
common pleas judge from 1898
to 1908, and has been United
States district judge of southern
Ohio since 1910. He's always
| been a republican.

NEW YORK LETTER

There is no information as to
where General McCallum died.
The lawyers who are looking for
the generals heirs were not his
lawyers. They never heard of him
till a junk man came to their
office with a bundle of papers
which he had found in an old
trunk.
The lawyers, William and Her.

found Gen. McCullSm's commits
sion, signed by President Lincoln
in 1892, letters and kilograms
from army officers, some personal
letters and a package of stocks
and bonds which, the lawyers
think are worth about $40 900.
One of the letters, written to
Gen. McCullum during the civil
war, is signed Jeanette McPath,
who evidently was the daughter
or wife of Calvin McPath, then
living in or near st. Louis. An
other letter, addressed Dear
Father" is signed Elizabeth

Urlus, Dutch tenor.
He was heralded as the pos
SCISSOR of a wonderful voice. His
first appearance was in "Tristan
and Isolde" He had literally no
voice at all. After he had sung a
few bars in weak tones, nervous
ness, added to a slight throat af-
lection, got the best of him TO
such an extent that he presented
the strange spectacle of a singer
opening and shutting his mouth,
but emitting no sound.
The audience and the critics
were sympathetic, though disap-
pointed. A few days later Urlus
appeared again, this time in ''Sieg-
fried" and uncovered one of the
most magnificent Wagnerian ten
ors ever heard in this country.
There were eleven curtain calls
for the principals after the first
act. Then Urlus had to take two
by himself.
The Dutchman shown not only
as a singer but as an actor, and
the ovation he received marks one
of the most remarkable reversals
of form in stage history.

A case has begun before the civil

suing the defendant, the government

money, something like $73,000.000.
The claim has been heard of at

CHAPTER Xxx.
Chaos.

Cna0S.
1t is not difficult to understand Mr.
Chafloner's feelings or even those of
Doris at the moment of Mr.. Brother
sons departure. But why this change
in Brotherson himself? Why this
sense of something new and terrible
rising between him and the suddenly
beclouded future? Let us follow him
to his lonely hotel room and see If we
can solve the puzzle.
But first, does he understand his
own trouble? He does not seem to.
For when, his hat thrown aside, he
stops, erect and frowning under the
flaring gas jet he had no recollection
of lighting, his first act was to lift his
hand to his head IN gesture of sur
prising helplessness for him, while
snatches of broken sentences fell from
his lips among which could be heard:
What has come to me? Undone in
an hour! DOubly undone! First by
face and then by this thought which
surely the devils have whispered to
me. Mr.. Challoner and Oswald! What
is the link between them? Great &C Il!
what is the link? Not myself? Who
then or what?"
Flinging himself into chair, he
buried his face in his hands. There
were two demons to fight-the first in
the guise of an angel. Doris! I'm
known yesterday, unknown an hour
ago; but now! Had there ever been
day-an hour-when she had not
been as the very throb of his heart,
the light of his eyes, and the crown of
all imaginable blisses?
This was no passing admiration Of
youth for captivating woman. This
was not even the love he had given
to Edith Challoner. He did not know
himself There was nothing in his
whole history to give him an under
standing of such feelings as these.
He, Orlando Brotherson, had never
thought much of love- Science had
been his mistress; ambition his lode
star. Miss Challoner had reused
well, his pride. He could see that
now. The might of this new emotion
made plain many things he had passed
