Great Amur Railroad
Project Nears Completion

Russia is within measurable dis
lance of executing well within the
projected time the Amur railroad,
which is to connect, by means OF
line entirely within Russian territory,
the Siberian railway system with
Khabarovsk, and thence by the al
ready existing Ussuri railway with
Vladivostok.
The formidableness of the under
taking, covering a distance of 1,24S
miles, is realized when 1t Is under
stood that the line passes through
country much of which was previous
ly untrodden. and nearly all was ur1-
inhabited. Natural obstacles In the
form of swamps and mountain ranges
are met with all along the line except
In the ley Buroya district; the eli
mate is extremely rigorous, and large
tracts lie within the zone of perpetu-
ally frozen ground; moreover, 1t has
been necessary to bring the whole
working staff from great distances,
mostly from European Russia.
The difficulties to be overcome were
underestimated at the beginning, and
the expenditure has exceeded the
original appropriations by 20 per cent.
or about $21, 10000.

|EX-PARTNERS IN
STOCK DISPUTE
Plaintiff Against J. w. Slay-
back Claims That He Was
Overcharged.

The value of stock in the business
in which both We're formerly partners
is the matter in dispute in the suit
of John j. Van Order against John
w. Slayback, now on trial in the
Circuit Court before Judge DUNCAN
and a jury The plaintiff claims that
Slayback in dissolving the partner
ship sold him the stock and by mis-
representation charged him $3.50
more than it was worth.
Slayback's defense is denial of
any Misrepresentation or deceit and
a claim that the stock was worth all
it was sold for. The defendant also
puts in a counter-claim against Van
Order, asserting that the latter still
owes 81, 400 on the purchase price of
the stock, and intimating that it is
to evade the payment of this sum
that the suit is brought.
Van Order and Slayback entered in
partnership on May 6, 1906, to con-
duct a builders and masons' material
and coal and ice business in Caldwell
Slayback, according to the complaint,
owned 250 shares of stock in the COM
pany, each share being worth 500.
The entire capital of the firm was
$4,000.
When the firm was about to dis
solve on May IS, 1911, the complaint
further sets forth, Slayback, who
was the secretary and
active man in the business, repre-
scented to the plaintiff that the assets
Of the company were $54,79424, the
liabilities $4,000, leaving net assets
of 100000 The value of the stock
appraised on this basis was about
$50 a share, which plaintiff declares
he paid for it.
The real liabilities, Van Order
states, were $50, 492.43, which reduced
the stocks value to less than $36 a
share and caused him a loss of S., $50,
the amount he sues for.

Gunmen in Congress.

Lack OF Contests Promises
Light Vote in Bay State

BOSTON, Sept 22.-The absence OF
a contest for the head Of the State
ticket in any of the three parties led
to the expectation that not more than
third of the voting strength would
be represented at todays Massachu-
setts primaries. Governor David /.
Walsh will be renominated by the
Democrats. former Congressman Sam
uel w. Mccall will be nominated for
governor by the Republicans, and
Joseph Walker, former speaker of the

There were no Democratic or Pro-
gressive contests for other State Of
ficers, but on the Republican side
there were fifteen candidates for the
remaining five places on the State
ticket.

A terrible weapon of warfare has
been invented. In the British Naval

1t Is of the Leon torpedo mine,
which has now been acquired and is
being manufactured by a British

that 1t can be set to hover between
any depths below the surface that
may be desired When placed in the
water 1t has a slight negative bouy-
ancy, and sinks until automatically q
propeller Is brought into action which
drives it upwards again. 1t can be
used In the open sea by any type of
ship, or, in the case Of tidal harbors,
it could be released by a vessel out
side SO as to make it's way with the
tide into the anchorage, and perhaps
destroy shipping there. A touch on

project from its upper surface, and

How the Custom of Tipping
the Hat by Men Originated

Men and boys remove their hats as
a sign of respect to girls and women,
but the origin of the act lies in the
fact that in the days when warriors
wore helmets they dotted them before
women to show their confidence in
the gentleness Of those who never
fought.
Shaking hands is simply an elabora-
tion of the open, gently proffered
hand, which has always expressed
friendliness. 1t shows the hand
guiltless of weapon.
The three buttons on the back of a
mans coat serve no purpose now, hut
formerly were in active use.
The buttons allowed the flaps of the
coat to be fastened so as to allow
more play to the legs when riding
horseback or fencing.
