Possibly the rcot Important qualification possessed by Mr. "Wallace is his ability and tact In the management of men. For several years all questions involving the matter of labor and the control of labor organizations in ' the entire system of the Illinois Central Railroad Company have devolved upon Mr. Wallace for settlement. The twenty-three different labor organizations found among the employes of the Illinois Central have always had the most implicit confidence In his decisions.

Later it was consolidated with the Iowa Central and Mr. Wallace had charge of operation as master of trains. During 1SS7 he was employed by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe road as bridtre engineer. He designed the piers of the Fort Madison bridge and had charge of the construction of the bridge over the Mispour! river at Sibley, Mo., for the Santa Fe Railroad. He also had charge of a system of river improvement work, controlling the Missouri river. Subsequently he was connected with Mr. Kj L. Corthell in general engineering work with headquar'ters at Chicago. His principal work at this time was the construction of the joint entrance of the Atchison, Topeka & -Santa Fe and Illinois Central lines Into Chicago from the West, together with the -Improvements of the Chicago & Alton terminal entrance. Jan. 1. Mr. Wallace was employed by the Illlnola Central to assist in handling the world's fair transportation problem and to sumbit plans for taking care of this business and the general Improvement of the terminal property of the Illinois Central. These plans were finally adopted by the railroad company, and Mr. Wallace was appointed chief engineer of the Illinois Central. During the seven years he occupied this position the Illinois Central property was practically rebuilt and the system of improvement started, the carrying out of which has placed the Illinois Central Railroad Company in the first rank of railroad progress In the United States. These improvements consisted of reduction of grades, double tracking, improvements of terminals, docks and wharves, elevation of tracks, construction of branch lines, etc. The elevation of tracks in the city of Chicago and the lakefront improvement Mr. 'Wallace not only had general supervision of. but also assisted in the negotiations with the city which made this work possible; elevation of terminals In the city of New Orleans: the Dlannlng and construction of the Stuyvesant docks at New Orleans and extending terminals known as Harahan yard; the improvement of terminals at E ist St. Louis, Louisville, Ky., and Memphis. Tenn. Jan. 1, 1SSS. Mr. Wallace was appointed assistant second vice president. While retaining supervision over the engineering department he was railed upon to assist the second vice president in the general supervision of matters connected with the operation of the rond. During this period, however, he look personal charge of the construction of what is known as the Fort Dodge & Omaha Railroad, 132 miles In length, which admitted the Illinois Central to the cities of Omaha and Coirncil Bluffs. This road was surveyed, located and constructed and in full and 'successful operation in a single year. On Jan. 1. 11M, Mr. Wallace's title was changed to assistant general manager, and he was placed at the head of the operating department, having in charge the engineering, roadway, transportation, machinery and other departments classed under the head of operation. In September. 1002, he was" appointed general manager. Mr. Wallace is also chairman of the advisory board of Joint track elevation in the city of Chicago, this board having designed and supervised the elevation of the tracks f the Atchison. Topeka &.

GENERAL TYNER FAILS TO

APPEAR

COURTROOM

Venerable Defendant in Postofiice Case Absent for the First Time. FRAUD ORDERS PROBED WASHINGTON. May 10.-Testimony in regard to ' the Darrett-Nelms partnership announcements was given again to-day by A. Smith Bowman, secretary and treasurer o'f the Southern Mutual Investment Company, of Lexington, Ky., at the trial of James N. Tyner and Harrison J. Barrett on charges of conspiracy. For the first time since the trial opened. General Tyner was not in court to-day. It did not appear from his testimony who sent the announcements to the company, Mr. Nelms or Mr. Barrett. Mr. Bowman explained a difference between himself and General Tyner, in regard to closing up of old business and the submitting of a new certificate for the approval of General Tyner. The witness said that the contract first submitted to General Tyner had never intended to be of a permanent character. He said General Tyner had asreed that the company should be given sufficient time to wind up old business. George Ott, secretary of the Mutual Weekly Investmeut Compauy. of Lexington, Ky., said his company employed Barrett and Nelms as his attorneys, and in liW- engaged former governor Bradley as an attorney. Shortly thereafter a Iraud order was issued against the company. This order has never been removed. J. W. Britton, formerly secretary of the Colonial Investment Company, of Cincinnati, O., testified to receiving a, copy of the Barrett opinion and one of the BarrettNclms announcement cards. M. G. Watson, of Huntington, W. Va., secretary of one of the bond investment companies, said his company had received one of the opinions and announcement cards. Elmer J. Miller, formerly a member of the board of directors of the Ohio Debenture Company, of Columbus, O., told of receiving a copy of the Barrett opinion and the announcement card. He said the latter was mailed from "Washington, and was Identical with a copy of the Barrett card which was shown to him. The witness testified to having met Messrs. Barrett and Nelms on the evening of Dec. 31, 1900. in Baltimore, for the purpose of. consulting them in regard to the perfection of the company's contract. He said he could not say whether he had asked Mr. Barrett to represent his company before the I'ostottice Department, but he believed he had not. The witness was shown a telegram to Mr. Barrett, signed E. G. Miller, in relation to Barrett acting as company's attorney, but he said he could not remember having sent It. A recess was taken untif l:S0"p. m. . In resuming his testimony following the recess, Mr. Miller said that on his trip to Washingtou in December, 1902, he was accompanied bj Walter F. Brown, who had presented a form of the company's contract for approval of the department. Mr. Miller identified a letter from .Barrett, dated Jan. , 1300, relative to changes in the contract, and stating that contract had been approved by General Tyner. This letter also made inquiries concerning the chances of placing $100,000 worth of business in a company which Barrett and Nelms contemplated forming, to guarantee contracts of bond investment companies and to do a general trust company business. Barrett, according to the witness, said he thought there would be money in such business. Mr. Ott was recalled apd said that he had believed the fo-m of contract under which his company was doing business had been approved by the department when It was presented by Barrett and Nelms. He produced from a private file a letter dated March 8, 1001. signed by Mr. Christian, Barrett's successor in the Postofiice Department. This letter stated that no contract had been submitted, and that the company would either have to go out of business or submit a modified form which would not be in conflict with the postal laws. He said that upon receipt of this letter he had written to Barrett and Nelms asking for an explanation. He said he received a letter from General Tyner fixing Jan. 18, 1902, as the date the case of his company would be taken up. On that date Mr. Ott, accompanied by General W. W. Dudley, of this city, and former Governor Bradley, of Kentucky, as counsel, appeared before the department. It was shown that the face of the contracts would have to be changed or existing contracts broken. Mr. Ott said that on March 22. after receiving the Christian letter, Barrett and Nelms did obtain an approval of the company's contract. Adkins formerly director in the Columbia Investment Company, of Huntington, W. Va., and Ashland. Ky., testified in regard to the receipt of the Barrett announcement card. Samuel A. Stevens, formerly of the Interstate Savings and Investment Company, of Cincinnati, O.. testified to having received an announcement of the Barrett-Nelms partnership.

AGAIII IS HELD Oil A CONSPIRACY CHARGE Englishman Whose Schemes Once Startled Financial World, Is Accused of Fraud. LAWSON ALSO ARRESTED LONDON. May 10.-Erncst T. Hooley, whose meteoric career and company promoting a few years ago astonished the financial world, was arrested in London today on the charge of conspiracy to defraud. Hooley s colossal bankruptcy and the proceedings arising therefrom were the sensation of 1S&S. Since then he ha3 been connected with various promotions, some of which led to court proceedings. Henry J. Lawson, another company promoter, was also arrested to-day in connection with the Hooley charge. Hooley and Lawson were subsequently brought up at Bow-street Police Court. Counsel for the prosecution, which is undertaken by the public prosecutor, said the prisoners were charged with defrauding A. J. Trine of $C0,o0 by selling him shares of Siberian gold mines and other worthless concerns. Further charges, counsel added, would probably follow. The magistrate offered to accept bail in $C0,O(X) each, but bail for Hooky was finally fixed at ftf.OuO. with two sureties, which was immediately given. Lawson's bail was fixed at $30,0, with three sureties, who have not yet been found, so Lawson remains in custody. A receiving order in bankruptcy was Issued against Ernest Terah Hooley June 8, lb&S. Hooley at that time was the greatest company promoter in Great Britain. He was prominently interested in bicycle, land and meat extraction concerns, and was supposed to be a multi-millionaire. He reached the pinnacle of his prominence in 1808. when he promoted a tire company, from which he was supposed to have cleared $1.500,000. At that time he was living a sort of a Count of Monte Cristo existence, buying yachts and race horses and a number of historic county seats. The announcement of the bankruptcy proceedings against Hooley caused a great sensation In London, though in the best informed quarter his failure had been expected for some .time, owing to his Inability to float a large Chinese loan. Eventually Hooley was formally adjudged a bankrupt. The capitals of the companies promoted by him up to 1S08 aggregated $tiO,000,000. On Aug. 10 application was made to a London magistrate for a warrant for the arrest of Hooley on the charge of fraudulently and by false pretense obtaining signatures to checks and bills of exchange amounting to over $KX),000. The magistrate reserved his decision. Previously, on Aug. 8, the director of public prosecutions had been instructed to Investigate some of the transactions of Hooley in connection with a sapphire mine situated in Canada.

May 10.-The Republican state convention, which was held here to-day for the purpose of electing delegates to the national convention to be held In Chicago on June 21, was unusually enthusiastic, considering the fact that there were no contests of .importance, and that the results of the convention had already been discounted. The only hitch in the programme for the election of delegates at large was an unexpected objection ti the unanimous election of the four men who had been named for the honor. The four men were Governor Franklin Murphy, United States Senators Kean and Dryden and State Assessor David Balrd, of Camden. William Howland. of North Plainllelii, objected to Mr. liaird in behalf of his county, Somerset, but on the roll call Governor Murphy and Senators Kean and Dryden received every, one of the 920 votes of the convention and Mr. Balrd received all the votes except six of the 17 votes that were cast by Somerset. The platform adopted by the convention was a strong indorsement of the Republican national and state administrations and indirectly favors the nomination of President Roosevelt to succeed himself, although the delegates were not instructed.

Woman Sajs Her Husband Made Her a Present of $io,ooo Worth of Stock. WALL STREET CUSTOMS NEW YORK. May 10. After a physician, acting by directions of the commissioner, had examined them and pronounced them physically able to attend the hearing. Dr. W. E. Woodend, of the suspended brokerage firm of W. E. Woodend & Co.. and his wife to-day appeared before Commissioner Hitchcock, who is conducting the Investigation into the affairs of the firm. When neither Dr. Woodend nor his wife appeared yesterday in answer to subpoenas their attorney explained that both were too 111 to leave their home. . To-day a United States marshal was directed to take them into custody, but his services were not required, as both were on hand when the hearing opened. Mrs. Woodend testified that she had a bank account, two houses which she inherited from her mother, $20.000 worth of stock in the Hadden-Rodee Company and several horses, and that her husband had given her llO.OuO worth of the HaddenRodee Company stock for money advanced to him when he went into business. In answer to a question by Receiver Gruber, Mrs. Woodend said her Hadden-Rodee Company stock was in a vault of the Corn Exchange National Bank. ."You will not remove that stock, will you? ' asked Mr. Gruber. "Why?" "Because your husband's creditors claim that it is a part of his assets." "It is mine." "But you drd not pay for R." "My husband gave it to me." "For love and affection?" "Well, yes." The examination of Mrs. Woodend was then suspended and her husband was called to the stand. He. declared that while he did business on margins, the conduct of his office was "regular." If a man gave him $50 as a margin for the purchase of shares of any certain stock the order was sent to the Consolidated Exchange for execution, he said. "I never bucketed in my life he, added. . "Were not the customers entitled to the stock when they came to you with the difference between the margin and the balance of the money?" "They were." "Then why did you not give the customers the stock they applied for a few days ago?" "They knew the situation. They knew that I had not actually received the stock for them. Where a demand was made it was bought or borrowed for them." "In instances where you did not have the stock delivered and still charged interest to the customers, is not that bucketing and crooked?" "That is a Wall-street custom." Dr. Woodend could not say how many margins he had on hand at the time of his failure. He could not say whether it would aggregate more or less than $250,000. Dr. Woodend said he became interested in the Hadden-Rodee Company last June, but he was not prepared to say that the company was indebted to his firm in the sum of $350,080. An arrangement was proposed recently to consolidate his business with the Hadden-Rodee Company, but it was never consummated He had given Mr. Bradbury, of the Hadden-Rodee Company, a check for $3,100 just before his failure, he said, but was unable to explain the reason for that transaction. , "Have you any objection to your wife turning over the $10,000 of Hadden-Rodee stock which you gave her?" "I gave it to her in good faith, and I think she is entitled to keep it," he replied. The hearing will be continued next Monday.

METHODISTS OF EUROPE SAIO THE MYSTICAL English. Fraternal Delegate Speaks Plainly at the Quadrennial Conference.

BOOK CONCERN FUNDS LOS ANGELES. Cal.. May 10.-The sixth day's session of the General Conference of the Methodist Church was mostly taken up by addresses of fraternal, delegates. No business other than the presentation of a few resolutions and their reference to committees was taken up. The Rev. Dr. Waddy Moss, of Diddsburg College, Manchester, England, came before the conference in behalf of the English Methodist Church. He pilloried the prevalence of mystical tendencies in the church abroad and drew attention to the inclination of Methodist teachers and preachers to depart from nTaterlallstlc tenets to idealistic doctrines. The Rev. Charles H. Crookshank. of Ireland, spoke for the Methodist Church in Ireland. In contradiction to the claim that all other denominations in Ireland have lost steadily in membership through the depleting effect of immigration, Mr. Crookshank asserted that the Methodist Church has gained numerically. Brief addresses were made by the Rev. Dr. William Dobson, of Canada, and the Rev. J. C. Gilbore, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, president of Durham College. A few of the more important committees held meetings this afternoon, but a majority of the delegates took advantage of the afternoon's leisure to visit points of interest in the immediate vicinity of the city. The final report of the book committee to the General Conference Is in the hands of the delegates in 'pamphlet form. It is a detailed report of the business transacted by the book concerns during the past quadrennium and of the various funds under the supervision of that committee.

The treasurer to-day commenced the payment of the expenses of the delegates to the conference upon the presentation of the itemized and audited accounts. Treasurer Oscar P.

NO CONSOLIDATION OF INDEPENDENT LINES Denial of a Rumor that Telephone Companies Are Preparing to Combine. LOUISVILLE. Ky., May 10.

Splane, of the Pitttsburg and Allegheny Telephone Company, and the officials of the Louisville Home Telephone Company. The Pittsburg representatives are in Toledo to-day, inspecting the independent telephone plant in that city. From Toledo they will come to Louisville, reaching here by Thursday morning. They will be joined here by President J. A. Armstrong, of the Home Telephone Company, and Joshua D. Powers, chairman of the executive committee of that company. The visitors will be shown, over the local plant, and on Thursday night, in company with the representatives of the Home Company, will go to St. Louis, where a conference will be held with the officials of Kinlc:h Long Distance Telephone Company, of that city. The St. Louis conference, it is believed, will be final." . H. D.

E Congressman Cannon Will Pre side Over the Illinois Republican Meeting To-Day. SPRINGFIELD. 111.. May 10.-The developments of to-day clearly foreshadow th organization of the Republican state convention, which convenes here Thursday, by the combined forces of Governor . Yates. Col. Frank O. Lowden and Congressman VespaMan Warner. The existence of the combination came to light when the state central commutes met to hear the contested cases for th purpose of determining which of the contesting delegales shall sit in the temporary organization. The first tet vote came on the Sangamon county case. In which the committee, by a vote of 23 to 9, decided to seat the Yates delegates as against the Ilamlla delegates. This was the only roll call taken, all the other cases being decided on a viva voce vote. The proceedings of the committee confirmed the story that Yates and Lowden. through their friends on the committee, had agreed upon a division of the contested delegates by which Yates should have all of the counties in the content except Rock Island. Clinton and Marion, these going to Lowden. This would give Yates seventy-eight and Lowden thirtyfour of the contested delegates. The combination, it is admitted, will be able to control the seating of the contesting delegates temporarily and permanently, as the YatesLowden forces will have llfteen of the twenty-five members of the credentials committee. While the alliance at present is confined only to organization, it Is admitted that the attempt will probably be made to apply it also to the nomination of the gubernatorial candidates. If this is successful the nomination will go cither to Yates or Lowden. Congressman Cannon will be both temporary and permanent chairman of the convention. He said to-night that he wouUl not accept the chairmanship if any one objected. The sentiment in his favor appear unanimous. FINE ARABIAN STUDS FOR THE PRESIDENT WASHINGTON', May 10.
