“Madam, How Old is Your Son?” Is Conductor’s Question.

Railroad officials are engaged in the effort to prevent the abuse of the age'limit for free transportation for children on steam roads. It is suspected that ninety times out of a hundred the parent with a six or seven year old child will tell the conductor that the little one is only five. W. G. Crush, general passenger agent o-f the Missouri, Kansas and Texas road, has supplied the conductors on his trains with pads of blank forms for getting the written statement of the parent who is trying to pass his offspring as a 5-yera-old, or if over five, less than 12 years old, and entitled to half fare rates. The conductor presents one of these blanks to a parent, with the remark that the question will be settled by J he interstate commence commission. Tn most cases the parent pays the fare rather than sign the paper. Other lines are adopting the plan.

INCURRE DISPLEASURE OF MEXICAN GENERAL

William B. Austin Talked to Prisoner and Had to Flee Across Border —Prisoner Released. ? The Chicago Evening Journal of Thursday, March sth, contained a front page picture of William B. Austin, formerly of this city and also aformer president of the Hamilton F Clu'b, of Chicago, giving him credit with securing the release from the Mexican jail at Jaurez, of V. E. Goodman, of Chicago. Because Mr. Austin insisted in talking to the prisoner in the jail he was compelled to flee across the Rio Grande, as General Villa would have caused his arrest and imprisonment had he been found. Upon reaching El Paso Mr. Austin at once took up the question of securing the release of Goodman, through the Order of Moose, J to which he belonegd. He wired the officers of the order in Chicago and a demand was made fir his release. Mr. Austin was returning from his trip to California and went across the border at El Paso to visit the Mexican camps. He visited the Mexican jail at Jaurez and there saw Goodman in a mouldy adobe cell. He was half naked and almost starved and his hair and beard had grown long. Mr. Austin had been admonished not to talk to the prisoners but there was something so pathetic in the man’s appearance that he addressed him and to his stirprise found that he was an American citizen and had a pitiful story of his imprisonment and abuse. Necessarily the conversation was short and the guide insisted that Mr. Austin must not talk, but he held his ground and secured Goodman’s name and ascertained that he belonged to the order of Moose. After leaving the jail Mr. Austin went to the home of a friend in Jaurez and here he learned that he was about to be arrested for- violating the prison rules and talking with a prisoner. He hurriedly left Mexico and went to El Paso, where he at once took up the matter of Goodman’s release. A telegram was received by the Moose president in Chicago Thursday that Villa had complied with the demand and had that day released Goodman. The Journal in printing the story concluded with the following interview with Mr. Austin: “A guard who was pacing back and forth in the corridor told me in Mexican that I couldn’t talk to the prisoners, but I paid no attention and continued talking to Goodman and succeeded in finding out enough before the guard and guide ushered me away from his cell. I left the jail a few minutes later and went to the home of a friend in Jaurez. I told him of my experience and he warned me that uniless I hurried back to El Paso at once Villa would have me thrown into prison. “It was my first experience in Mexico but I took my friend’s word for it and made a hurried exit back across the river to El Paso. Many others informed me that if I had stayed a few hours longer my friends in the United States might not have heard of me for weeks and I might have been locked in some filthy cell and allowed to rot, as had Goodman. “I had taken my wife and children to Pasadena for the winter and was on my way home when I stopped off at the Jaurez races for three days. “Personally I am convinced that

INCOME TAX LAW PROVES BONANZA

Government Expects Revenue of 50,000,000 and Returns Yet to Report. Washington, March 6.—The income tax law bids fair to live up to the expectations of the administration by producing about $50,000,000 annually in revenue paid by dose to 425,000 individuals. Although treasury officials decided tonight not to make public report of internal revenue collectors on the income tax it became known that morethaii”4oo,oooindividuials had made returns in the 63 collection districts up to Monday midnight, when the time limit expired. From These individuals it was understood the government probably would collect more than $40,000,000. It has been the opinion among: officials that thousands of individuals would take advantage of the thirty days’ extension of time granted in ease of absence and sickness and they expect the final figures to show at least 25,000 more reporting than were given in the preliminary lists from collectors. If they are not mistaken in this view the actual results wll be close to the estimates made at the time the legislation was before congress. Including the corporation tax as amended in the present law, it was estimated that the annual revenue from this source would amount to about $85,000,000.

Wheat From Australia and Russia Affects Price Here.

If the price of wheat and other grains in this country is not affected by the tariff, what is the meauing ofsuch paragraphs as this in the daily market reports? “Chicago, February 27.—Prospects of large shipments from Australia and Russia had a bearish influence on wheat. Dispatches from Australia said that sufficient freight room had been engaged to carry the entire surplus crop of the oom monwealth.” “Bearish” means downward in price, and the word occurs very frequently these days in the grain market reports, especially .n connection with news from foreign countries about crop prospects and shipments. Formerly the “world supply” affected only the world markets, but now with the bar. 1 : down in this country, there is a rush for the American market. It is the best market in the world and heretofore has always been reserved for the American farmer. Now for the first time, it is made common property for every grain producing country in the world, and the American farmer will have to root with the rest of them—all for the sake off demonstrating what a nice thing a competitive tariff is.

within thirty days the headlines of Chicago newspapers will tell of a “Jameson raid,” like that before the Boer war in Africa.’ Texans are organizing and are going to cross the Mexico border in spite of the U. S. state department. The governor of Texas has 1,500 miles of international border. It’s easy enough for us up here in Chicago to say, ‘Let’s have peace at all costs,’ but the Texas troops will have to cross the Mexican border to put an end to the reign of anarchy that is in full swing at the present time.”

COMPANION IN BUGGY PROVES TO BE CORPSE

Hired Man Thought Employer Was Asleep But Later Found That He Was Cold in Death. Winamac Republican. The hired hand on the Conway farm in Rich Grove township rode home from a dance at Medaryville Saturday night with a dead man, not knowing till he reached the house that John Conway, who had ridden to town with him-in good health was a corpse at his side. Conway had made purchases in Medaryville and was waiting for the hired man at the dance hall, when he felt faint and was assisted from the room by some of the guests. He fell on the walk after leaving the building but revived and asked to be helped into the buggy so as to remain in the open air. The hired hand climbed in the buggy, according to his testimony at the coroner’s inquest,
