Will see.
Fate had ALREADY rendered the gen

president of the Marvin Motors Com
pany. had also acquired premature
age and "A dangerous weakness of the
heart Any sudden shock would be
likely to end his earthly career

Marvin implicitly trusted Raymond

become an undiscovered rascal and
morphine tiend, deep in the tolls of an
! ingenious blackmailer named Mont
Eomery Hicks. And both OF them
knew how substantially the secretary
was remembered in his employer
will.
Further still, young Harry Marvin
was so desperately in love with his
foster sister Pauline, that he could
think of nothing but immediate mar
riage-and TO this old Marvin had no
objection whatever. But Pauline had
very decided objection to being
married in this off hand fashion
Pauline, you love Harry don't

day that the mummy case was deliv-
cred and placed in the library OF the
magnificent Marvin mansion on the
Hudson, and when the motor mag

WOULD See LIBEL
Charge DROPPED
Cooper Expressed Wish that
Indictment Against Him |.
Be Dismissed.
WAS ASKED
Justice Wrisht's Friend. in Return.
Wanted Certain Evidence Kept
from Records of Inquiry.

Wade H. Cooper. in his interview with
Wade H. Ellis. the latter appearing as a
friend of Justice Daniel Thew Wright.
expressed the hope that Judge Wright
might be induced to drop the criminal
libel charges against Cooper IL Cooper
could arrange to keep from the record
Of the Congressional investigation GER
matters but which Justice Wright's
friends were anxious should not be made
public.
Replying, Mr. Ellis said he believed
Justice Wright would do anything he
could as complaining witness to have the
Indictment dismissed IL the letters could
be kept from the public through Coop
er's efforts or intercession with the Nc
Coy subcommittee of the House judiciary
Committee.
Nothing Came of 1t.
This, in brief, was the testimony given
before the investigating committee by
A. z. L. Leckie. of counsel for Cooper.
and Mr. Cooper himself, yesterday. As
Mr. Ellis has testified. nothing came of
the matter, which was discussed at
meeting between Cooper and Ellis last
Saturday night. and a second meeting
furnishes a plain inference as to the
reason for the meeting. which had been
arranged gratuitously by R. B. Parrot.
Parrott testified Monday that he had
been actuated only by a friendship for
the two.
Questioning Mr.. Leckie as to the meet
ing Sunday morning in his Office, Rep
resentative Nelson asked: n
WAS there any statement about the
t,r ~. T41n4-os
Yes, during the conversation Mr..
Cooper asked. Why does he not dis
miss the indictment against me?' I told
him that was out of the question and
could not now be DONE
did you say anything about guar
antee that the indictment would ba
dismissed: did you ask what guarantee
there was?'
7 did not. My statement was that
the Indictment could not be dismissed.
that 1t had gone too far for that.
believe Mr.. Ellis said that he believed.
or thought. perhaps. that If this certain
matter could be kept out Of the record.
Justice Wright would be willing to do
what he could as the complaining wit
ness to have the indictment dismissed.
Members Are Suspicious.
Chairman Mccoy and other members OF
the subcommittee indicated a suspicion
that some Of the conferees in the two
meetings had planned to keep from the
committee certain evidence which they
thought not relevant Chairman Mccoy
declared that he would continue to seek
Information on this point and IL 1t de-
velopes that efforts along these lines have
been or are being made, the guilty party
will be charged with contempt of the
House. Mr.. Mccoy, further. served warn
in that false testimony would result in
purjury charges being filed by the COM
mittee against the offender or offenders.
This statement was made at the con-
clusion of Cooper's testimony.
Mr.. Cooper corroborated in the main the
of Mr.. Parrott as to the over
lures which led up to the meeting be-
tween Cooper and Ellis, and also as to
what transpired at the two meetings.
He disclaimed any intention to withhold
which might be of value to
the committee.

BROKEN RAILS Chief
CAUSE Of ACCIDENTS
Report Shows They Were Responsible
for Us Deaths and Injuries
to 1904 Persons.
l. c. c. OFFICIAL URGES PROBE

Broken rails have been responsible for
the killing Of 175 persons, the inJuring of
6,0Oi and damage to the extent Of IS. 237. :
193 during the last ten years, according
to a report made to the Interstate Com
merce Commission yesterday. By H. w.
Belnap, its chief inspector of safety ap-
pliances Belnap recommends a complete
investigation Of rail, track, and wheel
load conditions for the purpose Of de-
termining the effect thereon of the recent
types of locomotives and cars. with their
greatly increased wheel loads, and as
certaining remedy. The report was made
in connection with an investigation of a
derailment Of a passenger train on the
New Haven road on October 5 last. near
Westerly. r. l.. which resulted in the
injury of seventy-four passengers and
three employees.
The report says tina. the derailment
was caused by a defective rail. Chief
Inspector Belnap points out that there
are thousands of rails in use made at
the same time and under the identical
conditions as those whose use had
brought out the defect.
'It is manifestly evident" says Mr..
Belnap in his report to the commission,
that in this type of rail failures there
Is presented a serious situation. Rail
failures of other types have been the
cause of many accidents To those ele-
ments of danger existing in the past Is
now added this type of failure shown
in the development of interior assures.
It was intimated yesterday that the
commission would await the action to be
taken by Congress on the Stevens bill.
which has been favorably reported by
the House Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce. and which gives the
commission Jurisdiction over the physical
operation of railroads before taking any
action looking to a general investigation
of rail. track and wheel load conditions
as recommended. :

CHAMBER Of commerce
DEBATES Clerks FATE
Gordon Resolution. Petitioning Presi-
dent to Restore Veterans. Referred
to Committee After Fight.
TENNIS CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

The attitude OF the government toward
its employees in the light of recent agita-
tion caused by the discharge of several
aged clerks from the Washington postof-
fice without pension. was a topic of vigor-
Gus debate at the monthly meeting or
the Chamber of Commerce last night.
The report of a special committee. ap-
pointed to investigate the matter Of pen
sions for superannuated clerks was sub
mitted by John Dolph-- The report stated
that the committee had investigated the
matter thoroughly and after serious con-
sideration recommepded that the Cham
Der Of Commerce urge Congress to enact
legislation providing pensions for retired
government clerks When submitted to
the chamber this Recommendation was
passed unanimously.
Fulton r. Gordon then rose with a res
olution describing in its preamble, the

harassed with poverty and mental
anguish in their declining years" ana
as remedy petitioning President vii.
son TO restore these veterans to their
former positions. A committee of three
was provided in the resolution to pre-
sent the petition to the President
The fight was on. The principal oppo-
sition to Mr.. Gordon's resolution lay in
the reluctancy of the chamber to act
hastily on matter of such prime fm-
portance. Mr.. Dolph. Mai. Smith, and
Mr.. Schulteis led the opposition. and
the resolution was referred to the
board of directors for consideration
with authority to act. This was nec-
essary because the chamber does not
meet until October.

AIGRETTES WAVE HIGH
AND OWNERS CHUCKLE
No Longer Will Rude Things" Tear
Precious Feathers from Hats.
Thanks. Mr.. Malburn.
Altogether now, girls:

A vote Of thanks to Mr. Malburn,
For Mr.. Malburn. who is the Assistan nj
Secretary Of the Treasury. has brough,
great Joy to the hearts OF all women
who own aigrettes.
Aigrettes may in the future be worn by
American women into Canada or Mexico
and brought back into the United States
without fear OF seizure by customs OH
cials. This decision was issued yesterday
by the Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury and will probably be extended TO Eu-
rope and other points outside the United
States.
II is hoped by the Treasury Department
that this decision will put an end to the
protests filed by a score Of American
women, who last summer had their al
grettes torn from their hats by govern
ment of1cials on their return to the
United States.
Now the aigrette wearers can wave
their feathers high in the air past these
rude things without fear Of having
them torn from their chapeau.
Mr.. Malburn's decision concerning the
seizure of aigrettes reads: Wearing Of
prohibited plumage across the border in
to foreign territory with the definite in
tention to bring the same back to the
United States does not constitute a bona
fide expectation under the customs law,
and its return to the United States Is not
an importation
