CARNEGIE'S NEPHEW
SUED BY A GAMBLER
Lou Ludlum Seeks $4,000 He Says He
Loaned to Thomas Morrison Car
negie in 1909

NEW YORK, March IS. A suit
against Thomas Morrison Carnegie for
$4,000 has been instituted in the SUI
preme court by Louis Ludlum, whose
name is well known among gamblers
Mr.. Carnegie is the nephew of Andrew
Carnegie and the treasurer of the Car.
negie foundation.
There is no information concerning
the alleged debt, and Mr.. Carnegie said
that he was in utter darkness as to the
reason for bringing the suit. The
plaintiff said that the money was loan
ed to the defendant on Nov 16, 1909
and that no part of it had been paid
Mr. Carnegie s answer to the suit
said that he had never borrowed any
money from the plaintiff, that he never
promised to pay any sum to him, anc
that the amount could not be collected
anyway because of the statute of lin
itations. After declaring that the
claim is outlawed he asks for this in
formation:
~ want to know the manner of tn,
loan, whether it was by check or cash
whether made to me personally or t.
some one on my behalf; whether there
was any memorandum of it in writing
and if so, has the plaintiff copy o.
Iit?'
The plaintiff is popularity known
! among men of his own class as Lou
/ Ludlum, and was as conspicuous il
gambling circles as the late Richar,
| Garfield.
Mr.. Carnegie is a lawyer. He is
member of the Racquet and Uniol
League club of the city, of the Pitts
burg club of Pittsburg, Penn, and tn
Allegheny Country club, the Soutl
ampton club, and the Shinnecoek Cos
club of Long Island.
Mr.. Carnegie s counsel, Sherman
Day, discussed the suit.

His Company.

WASHINGToN. August l4-Contend-
ing that he has the right TO refuse to
answer questions relating to tho politi-
cal expenditures OF his railroad. the
Louisville and Nashville, because the
Interstate Commerce Commission was
attempting to investigate subjects be-
yond it's power. President Milton II
Smith filed n brief to-day In the Dis
trict OF Columbia Supreme Court re-
plying to the argument submitted re-
Gently by Chief Counsel Folk for the
commission to compel him to answer.
Mr. Smith, in a brief filed previously.
! took the position that expenditure of
funds By railroad for political pur-
poses was a private matter. Mr.. Folks
brief denied that campaign contribu-
! lions by carrier could be considered
private. and said tho commission had
authority To inquire into any railroad
expenditures.
Persons may differ. and do differ"
says Mr.. Smiths brief nied to-day, "as
to whether or not a railroad company
or any other public service corpora
ton. or corporation Of any kind, ought
to take any part in politics. But
however. that may be, and. as jus-
said. II is matter about which per-
sons differ-certain il IS that there Is
nothing In tho act to regulate COM
nerce which forb!ds it. or gives to the
commission any power TO Investigate

The brief also denies that there Is
anything in the act making It, unlawful
! for a carrier TO attempt to prevent the
! entrance OF another carrier into it's
| territory. If the commission were
conducting rate investigation. or
! physical valuation Inquiry. the brief
says. investigation rs to what amount
| the carrier had expended in some par

II is pointed out that tho RICH. Of

eral subject OF expenditures of a rail
road company is not involved as under
the commissions order. the investiea-
, ton is simple inquiry into politics

MARIE DoRO IN DIPLOMACY
Famous Players Present Adaptation Of
Great Sardon Drama

Ii you had married the most beauti-
full girl that you had ever seen in all
your life, after a romantic courtship
in which you never even stopped to
ask her who she was or where she
came from, and if. after you had been
married only short time. every bit
of evidence that you could find point
ed to the fact that she betrayed you
and stolen war plans with which you
had been entrusted for foreign spy
would you believe her guilty?
That is the situation in Diplomacy,
the adaptation of the great Sardou
drama in which Marie Doro is being
starred. 1t is the attraction at the
Harte Theatre today. This is not the
first time that the exquisite Miss Doro
has played the role Of the mysterious
Dora, for she co-starred with William
Gillette and Blanche Bates in the cele
brated revival of the play at the En-
pire Theatre last year. when she was
declared to be the star of all stars in
the production.

BACK TO THE OLD CANAL
Under Present Conditions Freight

Now that Philadelphia merchants
have decided to run barges to New
York on the ancient Delaware and
Raritan canal across New Jersey, It is
likely that the agitation for the aban.
donment of this once famous wafer.
way will be dropped. For many years
the canal has been unable to compete
with the railroads, especially in time,
but the freight congestion OF the past
few months has changed conditions
very materially. BY canal the time
from Philadelphia to New York is IA
hours, by rail IL varies from two or
three days. The canal barge is thus
temporarily faster than the locomo
tive and while the railroads are over
crowded with freight the water route
doubtless will be given all the traffic
1t can carry.
Other sections OF the country are
less fortunate In their canal properties
Many of the water routes were aban
doned and filled in, the location belnl
worth more for cultivation than fol
moving freight. The Delaware ant
