near Lombard, in the Ninth district, was
totally destroyed by fire about noon Of
Wednesday last. The fire started in
closet in the third story. When Mr..
Groves son, who with his wife occupied
one side of the large double dwelling,
saw smoke coming from the upper part
of the house, he hurried from the field
and carried water promptly to the place
where the fire seemed located, but could
make no headway against it. Some few
articles of furniture were gotten out in
badly damaged condition. Most of the
furniture, all the clothing and bedding
of both families, a large quantity of
meat in third story meat room, were
all destroyed The barn was several
times on fire, but heroic efforts saved it.
An insurance of $l7O0 is carried in the
Farmers 4 Mechanics Co, but will be
only a fraction of the heavy loss sus-
tanned.

stroyed by fire Saturday, together with

WILSON MADE NO
CABINET SELECTION
LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM OF NEW
PRESIDENT UNDECIDED.
HIS MIND IS STILL OPEN
Will Consume All of Time From Now
Until Inauguration Day in Max
ing Decisions on These
Things.

Princeton, n. J.-President.elec VIII
son made it clear that nobody in the
United States knew, as yet, who was
going to be in his cabinet or what would
be the program he would suggest for the
next congress. He declared that he had
not offered a single cabinet portfolio to
anyone thus far and had as yet reached
no conclusion as to plans for the extra
session.
Mr.. Wilson stated that while he had
ciSvassed a variety of subjects ard had
talked over many names with Democratic
leaders, he had not given a definite init
nation in any direction either as to
what his selections or his course with
respect to legislation would be. He i'll
dicated, however, that he expected the
extra session would not be devoted eX-
clusively to tariff-making, and said he
would, in a special message, specify
some of the subjects upon which he
would like to see legislation enacted.
lie indicated that he intended to oc-
cupy as much of his time as possible
between now and March 4 in %canvassing
the field from which he will pick a cab

and that as soon as he reached decisions
as to all the men he wished, he prob
ably would make all offers simulta
neously.

CENTRAL BANK IDEA
ALONE IS OPPOSED
COMMITTEE CONSIDERS EVERY
OTHER CURRENCY PLAN.
MANY PLANS ARE SUGGESTED
Morawetz Proposes System of Regional
Reserve Banks-Kuhn-Loeb Man
Favors Central Reserve
Organization.

Washington.-That there is something
radically wrong with the American
monetary system was agreed to by all
witnesses before the Glass subcommittee
of the house banking and currency com
mittee, which began Il series of hear
ings with the purpose of devising a new
currency scheme to be recommended to
committee that what the country needed
was a more elastic currency and a con-
centration of reserve funds, but opinions
as TO how these ends could be accom-
plished were variant.
A. Barton Hepburn, chairman of the
board of directors of the Chase National
Bank of New York, advocated a central
bank similar to the one proposed by the
National Monetary Commission, 81 per
cent OF the stock to be owned by the
government, if necessary.
Victor Morawetz, director of the finan-
cial affairs of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe railroad, proposed a system OF
regional reserve banks to which the
power of issuing currency should be linn
tied, while Paul Warburg, of the bank
ing firm of Kuhn. Loeb & Co. of New
York, insisted that a central reserve or
ganization differing materially from a
central bank was the only feasible rem
edy.
Chairman Glass announced that inss-
much as the Democratic platform de
elared specifically against the monetary
commissions central bank plan, the ma
jority members OF the committee felt it
was their duty to seek a substitute.
Representative Bulkely questioned the
witness as to the guarantee of bank de
posits.
If YOU think the guarantee of depos
its would stop runs m banks, the sooner
YOU get that idea ont of your head the
better" said Mr.. Hepburn. when the
people want money, they want it, and
nothing else will satisfy them. A guar
antee would count for nothing at all"

COTTON EXCHANGES COMBINE
National Confederation Is Launched at
Memphis.

Memphis.-A gigantic combination of
cotton exchanges and associations was
born in Memphis.
Overshadowing any similar organiza-
ton ever attempted, that confederacy
Of cotton interests, according to its
founders. will make commercial history.
The most representative gathering of
cotton men ever held in the United
States or elsewhere stands sponsor for
the new association.
1t will be a closely affiliated body,
consisting of the presidents of every
cotton exchange and state association in
the country. 1t will deal only in mat
tiers of national ad international impor-
lance.
Its existence will mean that all dis
putes between European and American
interests can be settled with much less
loss of time and finances than formerly,
it is said.
The Southern cotton men maintain
that the difference between European
and American grading is the cause of
much confusion. A good middling in
Memphis is something else in Liverpool.
AS a result there is no end of misunder-
standings and long arbitrations.
Freight rates will be taken up, insur-
ance will be lowered if possible, storage
charges reduced wherever consistent and,
in short, everything possible done to
cut down the expense of handling.
No attempt will be made to regulate
the market, the supply or the demand
The confederation will have nothing
whatever to do with prices or anything
of that nature, SO its organizers de
| clare.

HAS A THROAT AFFECTION
Physician Swears MI. Rockefeller Could
Not Testify.

Observation-Disclosures that William
Rockefeller has "gouty inflammation of
the larynx and windpipe,' which has
necessitated six operations, the last of
a Serious nature, were recorded in the
house money trust investigating COM
mittee evidence why the much sought
oil magnate should not appear before
the committee.
The affidavit by Walter F. Chappelle,
Mr.. Rockefeller's physician, said Mr..
Rockefeller cannot speak above a whis-
per and must take the so-called silent
treatment"
DR.. Chappelle swore that to force Mr..
Rockefeller to testify would not only
be an act Of inhuma!ty, but actually
would endanger his life"
Another affidavit by DR.. Samuel w.
Lamont was much to the same effect.
When the affidavits were put into the
money trust committees record, Chair
man Pujo announced that the commit
tee would investigate the situation

Committee Before Motion to Excuse
Him Will Be Considered.

New York.-William Rockefeller has
agreed through his counsel, John A. Gar

appear on Jan. 10 before the Pujo com
mittee of the House of Representatives
at Washington, investigating the money
trust"
Mr.. U~ntermyer, in behalf of the COM

As a result of the agreement the
sergeant-at-arms of the house has been
instructed to discontinue his efforts to

While accepting service, the statement
AYERS, Mr.. Carver advised Mr.. Inter
myer that Rockefeller's condition of
health is very precarious and that it will
be impossible for him to appear as q
witness at Washington or even to sub
init to examination at his home.
Mr.. Rockefeller has been informed
that having now submitted to the juris'
diction of the committee, he must pre-
sent his excuses to the committee in due
form for such action as it may deem
proper. If it is established to the sat.

be impossible to obtain the testimony
of Mr.. Rockefeller without imperiling
his life, the statement says, the commit
tee would, of course, not feel justified
in taking any such extreme action.

CORNERS VIOLATE
THE SHERMAN LAW
SUPREME COURT DECISION IN
CASE OF PATTEN.
INDICTMENTS ARE HELD VALID
Three Justices Deliver Dissenting Opin-
ion-Solicitor General Says That
Decision Will Prevent Arti-
fetal Running of Prices.
(Copyrightl

Washington.-The supreme court OF
the United States laid down the far
reaching principle that corners of inter
state commodities, such as articles of
clothing and food, are in violation OF the
Sherman antitrust law, and held that
as far as the Sherman law was CON
cerned, the indictment in the New York
federal court of James Patten, Eugene
c. Scales, Frank II. Hayne and William
p. Brown for '%conspiring to run an al
legged cotton corner was valid. The
case against them was sent back for
trial or other proceedings.
Justice Nandeventer announced the
opinion of the court. Justice Lurton de-
livered a dissenting opinion in which
Chief Justice White and Justice Holmes
concurred.
The majority of the court held that
the circuit court for Southern New York
had decided that the Indictment charged
ket, a necessary element of a corner,
as admitted by the government. TIE
minority held that the circuit court that
found the Indictment did not so charge,
and for that reason the Indictment was
faulty. According to all justices, the
correctness of the holding of the circuit
court as to the indictment charging a
withholding" and as to the sufTiciency
of the indictment on other technical
points has to be accepted at this time
without question by the supreme court.
Solicitor General Bullitt, who present
ed the governments side of the case,
issued a statement after the decision
in which he said at least a way had been
found TO stop the running up of prices
by men who sought to corner the market,
not only of wheat, corn, lard and other
commodities.

of Apoplexy,

of Apoplexy.
Little Rock, Ark.-United States Sem
ator jeff Davis died at his home in Lit
tie Rock at 1898 Thursday morning of
apoplexy.
About midnight Senator Davis called
his son and said that he was feeling
badly. The son called a physician and
remained at his fathers bedside. AS
the physician entered the door the sem
ator fell back and expired.
Senator Davis had complained of feel
ing in early in the evening. The family
physician, however, said that his con-
dition was not serious. However, the
senator, still complaining, retired early.
He had apparently been sleeping soundly
up to the time he called for mis- son.
jeff Davis was a unique character. He
was denounced by thousands as the most
arrant ~demagogue that ever leaped into
pubic life. He was acclaimed by other
thousands as a leader of those who did
not get all the best things of life.
Davis began the practice of law at the
age of 10. Before he was a seasoned
voter he was a prosecuting attorney and
he was a good one.
Born in 1862, Davis began to hold
office at the age of 81 and until his
death was in the public service.

STATES POWER CURBED
Cannot Annul Contracts Limiting Loss
in Shipments.

Washington.-The power of the states
over railroads and express companies suf-
fered a hard blow when the supreme
court held that since the passage of the
Carmack amendment to the interstate
law in 1906 the states had
ceased to have the right to annul con-
tracts between railroads and shippers
limiting the liability for the loss of in
t~erstate shipments.
Another serious blow was delivered
when the court held that the states,
since the passage of the interstate COM
merce acts, and particularly the Hep
burn law in 1906, had no power to pc
nalize railroads for failure to furnis'
cars for interstate shipments.
