 qether in Hotel

Chicago. Oct 16-A man and swom- an were found. the woman dead with her throat cut and the man shot three times and apparently dying. in 3 room in the sherman house here this af ternoou. They were registered as MT and Mrs William O. Ellis of Cincin- nati, o.
 The death of the woman apparently was instantaneous. Employes of the hotel said Ellis was a member of the wholesale leather firm of G. E. Ellis < company of Cincinnati
 Ellis wounds had been inflicted with a small revolver which was found in the room. He was taken to the coun- ty jail hospital, where it was said his wounds were not necessarily fatal.
 A small penknife with which th9 police said the woman's wounds prob ably had been inflicted also was found.
 Among the papers found on the floor of the room was a torn sheet in a woman's handwriting, evidently part of a telegram. It read:
 What shall I do? Can stay a week. When you will? Address Auditorium hotel Monday
 Ellis in a statement to detectives said his wife and he had agreed to die together after she had admitted inf1- de1ity.
 q had discovered that my wife had been unfaithful to me-" he said. and I followed her here. When 1 told her what I had discovered she admitted her guilt and we agreed to die to- gether.''
 If Ellis made the name of the man he suspected known to the police, Cap tain Halpin would not~ ~disclose it.

WILSON DECIDES TO

Washington, Oct 16 - President Wilson took hand in the situation in the senate banking and currency com mittee today, personally inquiring of Senators Hitchcock, Reed and O'Gor- man, the only three democratic sena- tors whose attitude has been matter of doubt to the administration just what were the prospects for currency legislation during the present session of congress.
 Later the president described his individual conferences with the three senators as satisfactory and reiterated his confidence that the measure would be passed by the senate before the December session. He determined, however, that while the situation was improving daily, his constant presence Tn Washington was required. and can celled his plans to go tomorrow with Secretary Daniels of the navy depart ment and other members of the cabi- net to witness target practice of the Atlantic fleet off the Virginia capes.

 Fire drills and lifeboat drills cannot be had on ocean vessels, the senator contended under conditions approach ing those which confront a ships crew at the time of disaster at sea. The greatest safety, he said. lies in a law that will require an adequate number of seamen, thoroughly trained.

ESCAPED With Sliuht Injury,

Samuel Wright, a brakeman on the

MEANS A VAST EXPENDITURE
Average Man Has Little Idea of How
Much It Really Costs to Build
Railroad.

With the right of way established,
another great army of men enter into
the field. The railroad does not build
it's own road. 1t is turned over to con-
tracts, and is usually let in sections of
from 200 to 300 miles. The contrac-
tor must live up to certain specifica-
tions, just as though he were building
a house. And he furnishes everything,
men, teams, machinery, food and ma.
terial. Few people realize what this
means. A contractor must be very
near to king. For instance, there
is the Hazelton section, in the noun
tains. 1t is less than 200 miles in
length. Before single shovel or pick
was engaged in the building of this
section, the contractors had to equip
themselves with fleet of steamboats,,
at a cost of 100000. They had to
build scores of camps, at from $4,000
to $4,000 camp. Each of these CEN
tiers had to be stocked with provisions,
supplies and materials almost before a
builder was brought in. Before these
contractors moved shovelful of earth
or fired a single blast they had spent
over $6,OO0,OOO!
Each contractors camp is like a
snail city, with it's stores, hospital,
scores of sleeping shacks, kitchens
dining rooms, warehouses and barns

Wonderful Railroads.

For really exciting railroad travel
one must go to South America. There
engineers have had to break all sorts
of worlds records to connect up the
line at all. In Peru there is railroad
which runs between Callao and Lima
and on to Oroya 1t threads in and
out of intricate Andean gorges, and
passes along the edges of precipices;
and, with its GO tunnels, it pierces the
mountain chain at height of over
$4,000 feet, at one part reaching 49,
645 feet. There is another railroad in
Peru, that from Arequipa to Puno on
Lake Titicaca, which crosses the noun.
tains by cutting 1860 feet above
the sea. Neither of these lines is
long, yet they both cost considerably
over $20,000,000 to construct

WOULD NOT STAY PUT
EGYPTIAN RAILROAD LINE THAT
WAS CONSTANTLY SHRINKING.
Astonishing Story, but an lnvestlsat-
ing Committee Found That There
Really Was Nothing Very Mys-
terious About II.

About every camper has had expe-
riences on portages, but the big ban
ner portage, ! think, was the one we
had on the Nile when we were taking
the troops up in 500 whaleboats to
the relief of Gordon at Khartum,
writes U. ]. w. Norris in the New
York Sun.
There were many short portages,
but the big one was from Wady Halfa
to Sarras, so miles beyond the Second
Cataract. The boats were going over
light and the provisions were carried
slow job. so the government decided
to build a railroad and sent out so
miles of rails, the necessary ties, ETC.,
and instructed the engineer corps to
build the road.
These men had not had practical ex-
perience and there were no steam
shovels in those days. The result
was that when they came to a sand
hill or rocks they went around. The
only time they ever leveled a hill was
when they buried a bottle of Scotch
in one and let the Forty-second High
landers know it was there.
OF course the Oad had a lot of
curves and when it was all done it
failed to reach Sarras by about two
miles. But orders are to be obeyed,
and to fill the order, at the sugges-
ton of one of the Canadians, they
moved Sarras down to the end of the
track, and there they were.
The end of the track went about a
hundred yards beyond the tent depot,
but after the trains had been running
a week it was down opposite the de-
pot. A week later it had shrunk an
other 200 yards toward Wady Halfa
and the depot had to be moved again.
AS time went on and frequent moves
were made it began to appear that if
the shrinkage kept up there would be
no need of railroad, for the Sarras
depot would be at Wady Halfa.
A committee of officers set out to
find the cause. 1t started from Wady
Halfa and two miles out the engine
forgot to turn a curve and landed a
hundred yards from the track. This
disguised the officers, but the con.
ductor assured them that it was a com
mon occurrence and that they would
soon be on their way. The train crew
got out jack-screws, lacked the train
up a couple of feet from the desert
then went over and dragged the track
to the train and showed it under, lei
the train down and steamed away.
1t did not take the committee long
to decide that if this was done often
it must increase the number of curves
and as the track was spiked down al
the Wady Halfa end it would have te
pull away from Sarras, hence the
shrinkage.

am beginning to believe it is all true

PUTS BLAME ON THE H0BBLE
Eastern Railroad Declares That Tight
Skirts Are Cause Of Many Ae-
cldents TO Women.

To the thousand and one evils that
have been laid at the door Of the high
heel and hobble skirt. an eastern rail-
road now adds a few more. in declar.
ing that these adjuncts to woman's
dress are chiefly responsible for the
injuries caused in women falling from
trolley cars and tumbling down the
steps at the railroad station.
This is not a wild statement either,
but is made after an investigation of
various accidents TO women covering
a period of three months and seventy.
three individual cases. The injuries
ranged from slight Commissions to pain
full sprains and cuts, and in almost ev-
cry case the contributing cause is put
down as Heel caught on step of car
and was torn off," or High heel
caught while descending stairs; wore
hobble skirt"
Observations of this character are
made in the book of instructions just
issued by the company to its employees
and intended to be a guide to them
in preventing accidents as much as
possible. Now, instead of watching
the step, they will watch the hobble,
to try to forecast whether it's wearer
is getting ready to tumble down a
long fight of steps. If she is, then
the employee must try his best to get
ready to catch her. The book is en-
titled Safety Hints and Suggestions
for the Prevention of Personal Injury
Accidents" and was written after ex-
perts had made an exhaustive study
of the various accidents reported.
From the figures obtained by the
railroad company, nine out of ten of
the persons who have been injured in
the railroad stations have been WON.
en-. Their injuries range from slight
Commissions to broken legs. In almost
80 per cent of the accidents the cause
has been either that the women wore
high heels or that they had such tight
skirts that they could not help them.

Causes of Rail Expansion.

It is strange, after so many years OF
railroading, to hear of accidents
caused by an expansion of rails due
to the heat" What is meant apparent
ly is not that the rail has been ex
banded lengthwise by the heat-for a
gap is always put between rails to al
low for that-but that the rail bulges
and SO makes the track wider than the
standard guage, thus causing the
wheels to drop upon the roadbed In
"a recent accident of this kind in Eng
land, no passengers were injured, but
a workman who was sitting in a sup
posedly safe place beside the track
eating his dinner, was struck by de
rallied car and killed.
