Hanks and Harriman, Who Thought Thsy Had Mado a Great Discovery.

PROVES TO BE A MAEE'S NEST Interstata Commerce Board's Statisti cian Vindicated. Inquisitors Reoeive a Sharp Letter from Roosevelt Supreme Court Hears from Some Union Iowa 31iners. Washington, Feb. 5. That Hanks and Harriman failed to substantiate their assertion that grave errors appeared In the statistical work of the interstate commerce commission; that they failed to show, in accordance -with their claim, that the freight and passenger rates of the country could bs reduced cn average of 10 per cent, without reducing wages or dividends This In substance, is the conclusion of the interstate commerce commission In Its report to the senate In response to a resolution of that body concerning the employment of Charles S. Hanks and George W. Harriman. President "Writes a Sharp Letter. Appended to the commission's report is a sharp letter from President Roosevelt to Hanks, dated Jan. 31 last, In which it is stated that their charges are completely disproved and the president adds that It would be simply folly for him tf pay any further heed to any of the allegations in regard to the work of the Interstate commerce commission made by Hanks and Harriman. In Its report, the interstate commerce com mission states that Charles S. Hanks was employed from June 24, 1000, to Jan. 10. lf!07. for which he received $2,535, and that Harriman was em ployed from June 24, 1906, to Jan. 10, 1007. for which he received $3,100. What They Said They Could Show. The commission states that prior to their employment flunks and Harriman spent some time at the commission's oflices for the understood purpose of examining the original reports of the railroads on file. This opportunity was accorded them, it is stated, at the re quest of the president, and because of their claim that such examination would show or enable them to show -that the freight and passenger rates of the country could be reduced an average of 10 per cent, without reducing wages or dividends. ONION IN DEFIANT CONTEMPT National Supreme Court Receives an Extraordinary Document. Washington, Feb. 5. Local order No. 2741 of Ilynes, la., of the miners' union, has forwarded to the supreme court of the United States a copy of a resolution recently adopted by It de claring contempt for the recent decis ion of the court In the case of Moyer, Haywood and Fettibone. The resolution asserted that the president has pronounced against the men without trial -and adds: "We condemn and hold in contempt the actions of our high officials and courts in this matter, and do hereby pledge ourselves, individually and col lectively, to counteract the false im pressions made by the subsidized press. to the end that men may know the truth." They then pledge themselves to do all in their power to prevent "the consummation of the murderous con spiracy a gainst our brothers now await Inc: trial in Idaho." A short time ago the national su preme court decided against Moyer et al.. in a habeas corpus case designed to invalidate the prisoners' extradi tion from Colorado to Idaho. LIABILITY OF EMPLOYERS Matter That Will Be Decided by the Xatioii.il Highest Court. Washington, Feb. T. The suprems court of the United States has granted a motion made y Attorney Genera Bonaparte permitting the government to intervene in the case of Damselle Howard against the Illinois Centra Railroad company. The case involved the constitutionality of the railroad em plovers' liability act passed at the last session of congress. It -was tried by the United States circuit court, Judg? McCall, for the western district of Tennessee, which held the first section of the act abolishing the fellow servant rule to be unconstitutionl. The case is considered to be of great importance, not only because of the number of similar cases that has arisen and will arise, but because of the principle involved. Judge McCall, following a similar decision by Judge Evans, of the western district of Kentucky, sustained a demurrer to the declaration, filed by the railroad company, holding the act of congress invalid because of unconstitutionality. Attorney General Bonaparte, under the decision of the president, at once took up the matter and decided to take the question to the highest court with the view, if possible, of having the decision reversed and the act upheld. Jnst wants to vote ray. Washir.irton. Feb. 5. Senator Nelsnu endeavored to have passed by the senate the house bill to regulate ; appeals in criminal cases, but met with opposition from Senator Hale, who said he did not expect to be able to arrest its progress, but wanted an op-" Eortunity to vote against it

this affair I hoped to draw him Into the open and settle with him. I slept presently but woke at my usual hour, and after a tub felt ready for another day. Bates served me, as usual, a breakfast that gave a fair aspect to the morning. I was alert for any sign of perturbation in him; . but I had already decided that I might as well look far emotion in a stone wall as in this placid, colorless serving man. I had no reason to suspect him of complicity in the night's affair, but I had no faith in him, and merely waited until he should show his hand. By my plate next morning I found this note, written in a clear, bold, woman's hand: "The Sisters of St. Agatha trust that the intrusion upon his grounds by Miss Armstrong, one of their sti dents, has caused Mr. Glenarm no annoyance. The Sisters beg that this infraction of their discipline will be overlooked, and they assure Mr. Glenarm that it will not recur." An unnecessary apology! The note paper was of the best quality. At , the head of the page "St. Agatha's, Annandale" was embossed in purple. One of the sisters I had seen beyond the wall undoubtedly wrote it possibly Sister Theresa herself. A clever woman, that! Thoroughly capable of plucking money from guileless old gentlemen! Poor Olivia! born for freedom, but doomed to a pent-up existence with a lot of nuns! I resolved to send her a box of candy sometime just to annoy her guardians. Then my own affairs claimed attention. "Bates," I asked, "do you know what Mr. Glenarm did with the plans for this house?" He started slightly. I should not have noticed it if I had not been so keen for his answer. No, sir. I can't put my hand upon them, sir." "That's all very well, Bates, but you didn't answer my question. Do you know where they are? I'll put my hand on them if you will kindly tell me where they're kept." "I fear very much, Mr. Glenarm, that they have been destroyed. I tried to find them before you came, to tell you the whole truth, sir; but they must have been put out of the way." "That's very interesting, Bates. Will you kindly tell me whom you suspect of destroying them? The toast again, please." His hand shook as he passed the plate. I hardly like to tay, sir, when it's only a suspicion." "Of course I shouldn't ask you to Incriminate yourself, but I'll have to insist on my question. It may have occurred to you, Bates, that in a sense In a sense, mind you I'm the mas ter here." "Well, I should say, if you press me that I fear Mr. Glenarm, your grand father, burned the plans when he left here the last time. I hope you will pardon me, sir, for seeming to reflect upon him." "Reflect upon the devil! WThat was his idea, do you suppose?" "I think, sir, if you will pardon " "Don't be so fussy!" I snapped. "Damn your pardon, and go on!" "He wanted you to study out the place for yourself, sir. It was dear to hi3 heart, this house. He set his heart upon having you enjoy it " "I like the word go ahead." "And I suppose there are things about it that he wished you to learn for yourself." "You know them, of course, and are watching me when I'm hot and cold, watching me to see when I'm hot and cold, like kids at a child's game." The fellow turned and faced me across the table. "Mr. Glenarm, as I hope God may be merciful to me in the last judgment, I don't know any more about it than you do." "You were here with Mr. Glenarm all the time he was building the house, but you never saw walls built that weren't what they appeared to be, or doors made that didn't lead anywhere." I summoned all my irony and contempt for this arraignment. He lifted his hand as though making oath. "As God sees me, that is all true. I was here to care for the dead master's comfort and not to spy on him, sir." "And Morgan, yjur friend, what about him?" "I wish I knew, sir." "I wish to the devil you did," and I flung out of the room and into the library. At 11 o'clock I heard a pounding at the great front door and Bates came to announce a caller, who was now stamping the snow from his shoes audibly in the outer hall. "The Reverend Paul Stoddard, sir." The chaplain of St. Agatha's was a big fellow, as I had remarked on the occasion of his interview with Olivia Gladys Armstrong by the wall., His light brown hair was close-cut; his smooth shaven face was bright with tee rresnness or youth. Here was a sturdy young apostle without frills, but with a vigorous grip that left my hand tingling. His voice was deep and musical a voice that suggested sincerity and inspired confidence. "I'm afraid I haven't been neighborly, Mr. Glenarm- I was called

away from home a few days ago after I heard of your arrival, and I have Just ot back. I blew in yesterday witn the Enow storm." He folded his r.rms easily and looked at me with cheerful directness, as though politely speculating as to 'what manner of man I might be "It was a fine storm; I got a great day, out of it," I raid. "An Indiana snow storm is something I have never experienced before." "This is my second winter. I came out here because I wished to do some reading and thought I'd rather do it alone in a universitv." "Studious habit3 are rather forced on one out here, I should say. In my own case my course of reading is all cut out for me." "The Glenarm collection is famous the be3t in the country, easily. Mr Glenarm, your grandfather was certainly an enthusiast. I met him several times, though he was a trifle hard to meet!" and the clergyman smiled. "My grandfather had his whims; but he was a fine, generous-hearted old gentleman," I said. "ou haven't been on our side of the wall yet? Well, I promise not to molest your hidden treasure if you'll be neighborly," and he laughed mer rily. "I fear there's a big Joke involved in the hidden treasure," I replied. "I'm so busy staying at home to guard it that I have no time for social recrea tion." t r . .. ne looKeci at me quickly to seo whether I was joking. His eyes were steady and earnest. The Reverend Paul Stoddard Impressed me more and more agreeably. There was a sugges tion of quiet strength about him that drew me to him. "I suppose every one about here thinks of nothing but that I'm at Glenarm to earn my Inheritance. My residence here must look pretty sordid from the outside." "Mr. Glnarm's will is a matter of record in the county, of course. But you are too hard on yourself. It's nobody's business if your grandfather ! wished to visit his whims on you. I should say, in my own case, that I don't consider it any of my business j what you are here for. I didn't come ' over to annoy you or to pry into your affairs. I get lonely now and then and thought I'd like to establish neighj borly relations." j "Thank you; I appreciate your comj ing very much," and my heart warm ed under the manifest kindness of the man. "And I hope" he spoke for the first time with restraint "I hope nothing will prevent your knowing Sister Theresa and Miss Devereux. They are interesting and charming the only women about here of your own social status." My liking for him abated slightly. He might be a detective, representing the alternative heir, for all I knew and possibly Sister Theresa was a party to the conspiracy to drive me away. "In time, no doubt, In time, I shall know them," I answered evasively. "Oh, quite as you like!" and he changed the subject. We talked of many things of oatdoor sports, with which he showed great familiarity, of universities, of travel and adventure. j Columbia was his alma mater, but he had spent two years at Oxford. "Well," he exclaimed, " this has been very pleasant, but I must run. I have just been over to see Morgan, j the caretaker, at the resort village, j The poor fellow accidentally shot him- ' self yesterday cleaning his gun or something of that sort, and he has an ugly hole in his arm that will shut him up for a month or worse. He gave me an errand to do for him. He's a conscientious fellow and wished me to wire for him to Mr. Pickering that he'd been hurt, but was attending to ; his duties. Pickering owns a house at the farther end of the colony and Morgan has charge of it. You know Pickering, of course?" I looked my clerical neighbor straight in the eye, a trifle coldly, perhaps. I was wondering why Morgan, with whom I had enjoyed a duel in my own cellar only a few hour3 before, should be reporting his injury to Arthur Pickering. "I think I have seen Morgan about here," I said. "Oh, yes! He's a woodsman and a hunter our Xknro 1 of the lake." "A r-rn1 or,,-- irorv HVdIv'" "I dare say. He has sometimes brought me ducks during the season." "To be sure! They shoot ducks at night those Hoosier hunters so I hear!" He laughed as he shook himself into his greatcoat. "That's possible, though unsportsmanlike. But we don't have to look a gift mallard in the eye." We laughed together. It was easy to laugh with him. "By the way, I forgot to get Pickering's address from Morgan. If you happen to have It " "With pleasure," I said. "Alexi3 Building, Broadway, New York." "Good! That's easy to remember," ha said, smiling and turning up his coat collar. "Don't forget me; I'm quartered in a hermit's cell back of the chapel, and I believe we can find To be Continued).

The Factory behind the Great Arrow Car"

)e announce a new four cylinder, 40-45 horsepower seven passenger Great Arrow Touring Car, price $5,000.00. When we sav "seven passenffcr" we mean seven comfortable seats. The two additional seats are m the tonncau, with backs and arms. Thev revolve so that the occupants can turn around and chat sociably with the three people in the rear. There is nothing exclusive about the idea. All good cars will probably adopt it. The appeal of the Pierce Arrow is made upon something: deeper and more vital than a change in the form of the body. It is in the car itself. The argument for 1907 will be "The factory behind the Great Arrow Car."
