POISON ''REVOLvER"
FIGURES IN MURDER

NEW YORK, Sept. 28.-Dead at
his post of duty, his revolver, con-
tanning four empty shells, still
clutched in his hand, Patrolman Jo-
seph A. Reuschle was discovered ly-
ing on Riverside drive early today
by a party of prominent New York
theatrical people, including John
Emerson, playwright, and Helen Mac
Kellar.
A bullet had pierced his heart.
A metal syringe, about five inches
long, was the only weapon save
Reuschle's gun, found near the body.
Examination of this and Of the dead
policemen's eyes led the medical ex-
aminer to believe that he was first
blinded with poisonous liquid and
then shot.
The theory was held at police
Headquarters today that Reuschle
was attempting to arrest a notorious
crimanal near One Hundred and Sixty
ninth street and Riverside drive, and
that the latter, possibly aided by
confederates, blinded the patrolman
and then calmly shot him through
the heart, while he blazed away help
lessly with his service revolver.

NINETEEN SYSTEMS
ARE PROPOSED FOR
COUNTRY'S LINES

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.-The in
terstate commerce commission today
announced tentative plans for consol-
idating all Of the major railroads
OF the United States INTO nineteen
great systems, and gave notice that
hearings would be called upon it In
the near future.
The step was taken under prov1'
sions of the transportation act which
allows tn consolidation, if voluntary
with the railroads concerned. The
proposals now put forward by the
commission follow in the main plans
prepared under it's direction by Prof
William q. Ripley. of Harvard.
The commissions proposed nineteen
systems, as outlined today, provide
rangement of transportation lines
giving most sections of the country
access to two ors more of the great
routes devised. The principle fol
lowed in making UP the consolida
lions was that of hitching weaker
and less profitable roads to more
prosperous competitors or connec
tions, at the same time maintaining
the identity very largely of existing
great railroads. In some cases
branch lines of existing roads are
suggested for divorce from present
owners and attachment to other sys-
tens, with Encouragement of termi-
nal facilities.
1t is expected that the plan, with
alternative arrangements which thu
commission has suggested, particular
ly with reference to New England
will be under consideration and ar
gument for a prolonged period, since
permission of the commission anC
consent of the railroads is required
to every detail before it can be put
into operation. The voluntary con-
snlidati1n plan was adopted by con-
gress as possible means of facili-
tating the operation of the American
transportation system under rate
regulation, on the theory that rates
allowed by the interstate commerce
commission were being found suffi-
cient to give adequate earnings tc
strong lines, while weaker roads in
the same territory could not show
sufficient earnings to continue opera
tions.
The consolidation proposed TO
system No. II, as given in the de-
tailed plan, includes the Atlantic
Coast Line and it's subsidiaries, At
lanta and West Point, Charleston anC
Western Carolina, Louisville ant
Nashville, Nashville, Chattanooga anC
st. Louis; Louisville, Henderson ant
st. Louis; Western Railway of AL
ALBANIA: Richmond, Fredericksbu rs
and Potomac; Norfolk-Southern; At
1anta, Birmingham and Atlantic
Winston-Salem Southbound; Roanoke
to Winston-Salem branch of the Nor
folk and Western; Florida East Coast
Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio; Geor
gia and Florida; Gulf, Mobile anC
Northern, and the Mississippi Cen
trail.

Enormous Sales
OF u. S. Bonds and
Notes Made Tuesda,

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-Further
enormous purchases Of Liberty bonds
and victory notes overshadowd ali
other dealings on the stock exchange
Tuesday morning. The first hour
sales of bonds appropriated S6,O00,-
900 and fully rs per cent of this was
represented by United States govern
ment issues. Almost all domestic war
flotations rose to highest quotations
of the year but the feature was the
victory 3-4s which advanced to SO
IL.
This issue was taken in blocks
running from small amounts to
$250,000 and $400,000. One lot of
S1,000,000 changed hands.
Buying of Liberty bonds and Vic
tory notes continued in large volume
during the mid-session and early aft
ernoon dealings up to 1870 O'Clock
being estimated at $12,000,00O. Prices
receded slightly in most instances,
probably as a result of speculative
profit taking, but every setback was
met by further accumulation.
Financial institutions, insurance
companies and wealthy individuals
and estates are reported to have
taken an active part in the recent
recovery of these issues.

Vanderbilt University School of Med
icine in 1877. Since then his life
has been given to the missionary in
terests of his church. In 1910, he
was elected a bishop, and for years
he has been recognized as one of the
leading figures in the missionary
movement of the Christian world One
of his recent achievements was the
location of Methodist mission in
the Congo country, the first OF his
church in Africa.
