Mob to Court
Room

Bridgeport, Conn, March l2-Mrs

wonted composure when she appeared in
court yesterday with her father. For
the first time since the trial began. Mrs
Angle broke down Wednesday and wept

present again increased.

locks on the vestibule doors of the Rip
powan Building association in ways from
the entrance which were for the use OF
Mrs. Angle and members of the lodges
which met in the hall above. There
was no regular lodge meeting on the
night of Ballou's death, Judge Finch
said.
Police Sergeant Michael Greaney pro-
duced the ambulance call record kept
by the police showing the ambulance
went out at 1925 p. m. on June % to
take Ballou to the hospital.
Dennis Reardon. ambulance driver in
Stamford, told of identifying Ballou by
an Elk's card after he had been taken
to the hospital Returning to the Rip
powan building, Reardon said he saw
two bare footprints and evidences Of
blood inside the yestibule door. The

Cooked as if it had been freshly
mopped," Reardon said.

in removing 8allou to the ambulance
and rode to the hospital with him. He
said he found "lots of blood" IN the YES.

withdrew he head" he added.
Beck told OF examining the halls and
stairs and the finding OF bloody clothes
in the bathroom.
"The treads OF the stairs" said Beck,
'looked as il they had been wiped up
hurriedly. There was water between

Farmer Doesn't Lose, Traffic
Man Testifies at
Hearing
DESCRIBES DECREASE
IN GRAIN RATES
Railroads Make No Profits
in Cereals-Hope for
a Raise

Chicago, March l2.-That freight rates
on grain have steadily been going down
in recent years, so that the railroads
cannot make profit on carrying it, III
spite of an upward tendency in the mar
ket value of grain, was the testimony
given by Frank =. lyman, assistant
freight traffic manager OF the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad, at the interstate
commerce commissions hearing OF the
eastern freight case Wednesday.
Mr.. lyman, who appeared on behalf OF
the Al western railroad systems which
are asking for increases in rates on cef.
tain commodities, asserted that in his
calculations he had not considered higher
prices paid for grain on account of the
European war. The roads are asking
that the rates on grain from points be-
tween the Missouri and Mississippi riv'
ers and Chicago be increased one cent a
hundred pounds.
Clifford Thorne, chairman of the Iowa
state railroad commission, and A. r,
Helm, representing Kansas shippers
asked the witness whether, If the in
creases were granted, the farmer or the
consumer would have to pay the differ
enee. Mr.. Helm replied that 20 far as
he could learn, the farmer did not pay
the freight. but rather that the specu-
lator and ultimately the consumer, paid
It.
In 1902" said Mr.. Eyman, "the rate
from the Missouri river to Chicago was
81 cents a hussred pounds on wheat and
Is cents on grain. BY 1904 this rate had
receded to 10 cents on wheat and ID
cents on corn, while at present the rate
is only 1874 cents on wheat and l4A
cents on corn. With the proposed in
creases OF one cent, the rate would still
he much lower than in 1902. In the same
time there has becna conspicuous rise IN
the market value of tlese grains"
The Chicago & Northwestern railroad
considered alone, he said, would increa Sc
its revenue sl20O00000 yearly II the
proposed higher rates on grain were al
lowed.

"The entire future happiness Of q

York, according to the Pittsburgh Dis

bringing out Of his capabilities. for
upon that rests his choice Of a life
work. And the community suffers as
we'll as the individual II the boy or
girl is not properly employed to con.
genial work."
This is q phase too generally over
looked by parents and guardians. The
usual practice is to pitchfork q child
into any promising opening, without
much consideration Of whether he is
capable or suited for it. In many
cases, perhaps most, the necessity of
finding employment overshadows any
question of taste or fitness. The re.
suit is, of course. round pegs in square
holes, labor that becomes q task, q
veritable slavery. Some achieve sue.
cess in spite Of the uncongeniality of
their labor, inspired by ambition to
get on. but too many feel that they
are tied to the wheel of uncongenial
labor and eternally regret that they

they would have found satisfaction.
