I could picture the wife Of this
man; as loathsome as himself, doubt

box. For if man would give
$65, 000-it was knocked down to him
at that price-for a place in which
to put his jewels, what were the
jewels themselves worth?
The mere thought made me dizzy.
If I could get my hands upon that

the names and addresses Of the pur-

workmanship, even a high degree Of
craftsmanship, had been expended
upon it, But the thing was too gor-
geous, too famboyant. and one
readily believed the auctioneer's

the box One also believed without
hesitation that it had cost the multi
millionaire over ninety thousand dol

fifty thousand.
But the very idea that had given
birth to the box was vulgar. Tt had
been intended to be the receptacle
for certain jewels of Gerald's wife.
The thing angered me. Artists in
precious metal had been debauched
by Gerald's money and forced to
prostitute their gifts for beauty in
order to crafty millionaries vulgar

a dealer in gold and jewels who pro-

Gerald's death had not rid the world

BRIGHT FUTURE
Joseph A, MCGOWAN Speaks
at Electric Railway
Meeting,
BIZ Times Special

BIZ Times Special
CEDAR POINT, Ohio, July 10
Middle western traction lines handled
a quarter of a billion passengers and
five millions of freight in the past
twelve months, according to Joseph
A. MCGOWAN, treasurer of the In
dianapolis Strict Railway and the
Terre Haute, Indianapolis and East
ern Traction Co., before the Central
Electric Railway Association today.
MCGOWAN declared the electric
fractions fill a necessary and i'm
pOrtant position in the traffic world.
Better Times Ahead
What of their future?" he asked.
''Those who have studied this prob
lem re2convinced that they have
passed their crucial period and that
better times are ahead. Rubber tires
can never supersede steel rails in
the carrying Of passengers and
freight. Rival methods of transpor-
tation may last for a while, but they
can never supplant interCrban rail-
ways. Whenever it is found advis-
able to use buses as an adjunct to
interurban lines they should be
owned and controlled by interurban
railway companies and not by indie
pendent competing bus lines"
Improvement Urged
MCGOWAN reviewed the develop
ment Of interurban freight service in
Indiana, emphasizing the importance
of the new live stock shipping plan
which is proving a boon to farmers
and stock dealers. This develop
ment. he said, was responsible for
the building of a freight terminal
in Indianapolis covering eleven acres
which will have two freight houses.

traction executives to improve facil-
tiles in every possible way. and to
acquaint the public with the advan-
tages of traction travel and shipment
by the liberal use of newspaper adj
vertising.
