BEARDSLEY READY
TO SURRENDER
Makes Offer to Sheriff-Efforts of Off
GERS to Get Him Earlier in the
Day Fruitless.

Mayville, n. ", Jan. IT, Edward
farmhouse at Summerdale yesterday aft
ernoon that he was ready to discuss
terms of surrender provided his brother,
James, was brought from Titusville to
look after the children.
Sheriff Anderson believed Beardsley's
offer the first sincere one he has made
since he barricaded himself in the house
after the shooting of Overseer of the
POOR Putnam Tuesday, and has asked
the brother to come.
Meantime he has instructed his depu-
ties not to fire unless Beardsley at
tempted to get away. The sufferings
OF his nine hungry and frost bitten chill
dren in the house, the sheriff believes,
drove Beardsley to consider a peaceful
surrender.
A ruse to draw Beardsley out of his
stronghold early yesterday failed. Sher-
if Anderson and his company withdrew
out of sight and William Walker and
Timothy Van Cise, the only two men
who had been able to approach the
house since the siege began, without be-
ing greeted by revolver shots, went up
to the house to offer to aid Beardsley
to escape. Beardsley covered both men
with rifle. Van Cise went over his
plan in detail Beardsley laughed at
him.
"You are trying to get me taken" he
said "Now, you right about and get
off my property"
Van Cise insisted that he was sincere
in his wish to aid Beardsley to escape.
He explained that in the bob sleigh
which stood at the gate he could take
the woman, all of the nine children and
Beardsley and be over the Pennsylvania
state line before daylight. There is no
one around here now and we can get
away easily" he said.
Just then there was shout from the
direction of the Summerdale road. \
horse belonging to one of the deputies
bad bolted and the officers We're trying
to capture it. Beardsley became greatly
enraged.
Il told you they were there" he shout
ed. Get off my place before / put
bullet through you"
The muzzle OF the rifle came omi-
nously through chink in the window
and the deputies retired.

Jan. l7-Despatc from all parts OF
the Union report that the strikers every

the victory has been won by the gov
eminent in the struggle with THE Fed
Grafton of Trades arising out of the
strike of railroad employees against the
retrenchment policy of the companies.
The iron grip of the prentice, General
Louis Botha was still in evidence yes
terday at johannesburg, where 81 men,
bers OF the typographical union were
arrested while meeting The charge
against them was eontravention of the
provisions of martial law. The men had
just passed resolution to resume work.
At the Salt River railroad workshops,
just outside Cape Town, all the men
have returned, their leaders having de-
clsred the strike ended.
simultaneously with the short work
made of the defiant Trades Federation
leaders at Johannesburg, the entire ex
ecutive force of the railway and harbor
employees societies of Cape Town and
Pretoria were placed under arrest, and
practically every important strike lead

the railway authorities are increasing

az confident that they win have normal
services running in all these provinces

A johannesburg despatch says the
government has discovered documental
evidence of a plot for a revolutionary
movement in April, to set up South
African labor republic.
The labor party here was dumfounded
at the news of the arrest of the johann
nesburg leaders, and there has been a
rush of men TO resume work, The
Trades Federation held a meeting. and
although no decision was announced, it
is understood that the idea of calling
general strike in Cape Colony has been
abandoned At present the general
strike order has reference only to the
Orange Free State and the Transvaal
A prominent labor member of Parlia-
ment admitted that labor had received
crushing blow. The early collapse OF
the miners strike is expected. Hun

rested at Benoni, and similar measures
will be taken elsewhere, if found nee

TAXED TOO HIGH.
Assessors Have 0vervalued Professor
Taft's Automobile.

New Haven, Jan l7.--Prof. William
Howard Taft of Vale is dissatisfied with
the tax levied on his automobile by the
city. Recently he received a tax bill
showing that the assessors had rated his
machine as worth $4,000 To this ten
per cent. had been added upon his failure
to appear within the required time and
swear to his tax list This brought the
total on which the 10 mill tax is com
puted up to S4,950
In letter TO the assessors, Mr.. Taft
informs them that he purchased the car
second hand, paying only $1,000 for it
and fails to understand how they can
rate it at $500. The outcome Of the
matter is being awaited with consider
able interest.
Although Professor Taft owns real
estate in New Haven, he did not have
title to it when the assessors were max
ing up the list last spring and is not
taxable this year. He did, however,
have have bill for personal tax of
two dollars sent to him.

THE INQUIRY CONTINUED.
Further Investigation of New Haven
Railroad Expenditures.

Boston, Jan. Hearings were re-
sumed yesterday before the public serv-
ice commission on the expenditures in
the state by the New York, New Haven
& Hartford railroad to which the at
tention OF the commission has been
called by former Governor Foss.
1t was expected that Charles S. Mel
len, former president of the New Haven
road, would be questioned regarding
some of the payments under inyestiga-
ton.
c. W. Barron, a publisher of this city,
who had charge of much of the railroads
advertising, continued his testimony,
which was unoompleted at the last ses-
sion.
Henry w. Wilson of Lawrence, Bos.
ton & Maine locomotive engineer and IN
1912 and 1918, the period covered by the
investigation, chairman of the legislative
committee Of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers, identified a voucher
for $3.50.
He received this sum from the New
Haven road for investigating smoke CON
ditions at the request of former Vice
President Byrnes. This payment, he
said, was at the rate of $40 day, his
regular wages an an engineer, with the
exception that as an engineer he worked
on alternate days only, while as smoke
investigator his work was continuous
for 25 days. He had never attempted
to conceal this special employment from
the members of the brotherhood.
When Mr.. Barron resumed his testi
mony he explained that a payment OF
Sa5,670 to the Boston News bureau, of
which he is publisher, was for advertis
ing placed for the New Haven road in
newspapers in this and other New Eng
land cities. Doremus 6 Co., of New
York, an advertising agency in which
10 had large interest, received S63,477
for similar advertising.
1t was at his suggestion, Mr.. Barron
said, that the signature of Mr.. Mellen
appeared on these advertisements. He
told Mr.. Mellen that the public regarded
the New Haven executive as a mystic
rious manipulation of stocks and bonds
and it was the desire of the witness that
Mr.. Mellen appear before the public as
an active and practical railroad execu-
tive

Much alarm has been caused in gov

The Federal garrison in command of
General Meriscal is said to have shown
itself strangely apathetic in the presence

is reported. Acapulco now is practically
the only port on the Pacific with reliable
railroad connections with the capital in

might make it impossible for rifles and

The secret has at last been discovered

oil taste, and smell, too, purifying the
oil and making it better and more eff
fective. Nothing is added to it, nothing
good taken out of it.
Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil is taste
less in the true sense. Even children
take it easily, for all the nauseatlng
effect is removed
