COMPETITION HAS

BEEII LEFT BEHIND Hill and Harriman In Their Progress Have Divided the Railroad Business. THE FACTS ESTABLISHED INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION IN SESSION AT CHICAGO COLLECT VALUABLE INFORMATION FOR GOVERNMENT. Publishers PressJ Chicago, Jan. 9. Competition between railroads terminating on the Pacifls coast Is a thing of the past. Of the central western section E. II. Harriman is king over the northern territory, James J. Hill reigns, supreme. The situation was brought out clearly by Operating Director J. C. Stubbs, of the Harriman lines and Chief Traffic Manager J. M. Hannaford, of the Northern Pacific, at the interstate commerce hearing today. What is more, Mr. Stubbs and Mr. Hannaford agreed that this is competition. Mr. Hannaford thinks there would still be competition If one man owned all the railroad properties. He denied that he spoke for James J. Hill, but those who heard him think he did. He has gained all his railroad experience under the "Wizard of the Northwest" and the Interestate commissioners said unofficially, but positively that they had no doubt the witness mirrors his chief's views. Mr. Hannaford's idea is that competition would continue through the Individual, efforts of managers of the separate lines and that the rate question would not enter Into the matter because that has already been settled. In other words, the country will never again see one road emitting under the prices made by another. Mr. Hill's lieutenant confessed that his line has given up the effort to get San Francisco because the Southern Pacific possesses a quicker route from the east. The only competition between Harriman and Hill is for eastern, a very little southern f and for northern business. Mr. Hannaford said lie did not think a car clearing house would be a bad thing that is, one aj,ent might be placed In charge of all cars. vox a rauroaa 10 get mem lie woum have requisitions made through a -egular channel. A BANKRUPT DEBUTANTE SUIT FILED AGAINST HER Finances of the Wife and Daughter of the Late John K. Cowan Are Running Very Low Hard to Keep he Society Pace. Publishers Press. Baltimore, Md., Jan. 9. Miss Sarah Cambellina Cowan, one of the most beautiful debuntees of the season and a daughter of the late John K. Cowan, who was president of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, has a suit entered against her by Redfern & Company, of New York, here today for a bill of $299.23, for riding habits. The articles enumerated in the bill are: Riding breeches, f 45, green covert riding habit, $12o; black melton liabit. $115; 'six months interest at 5 per cent., $14.23. On the day that Miss Cowan made her debut at the fashionable Monday rerman, her mother was summoned to the Baltimore county court in legal proceedings brought by a tailor, a stationer, a jeweler and the fashionable Belvedere hotel, to collect bills. It was then stated that Mrs. Cowan had mortgaged her Baltimore county property and that her real estate in New; York and North Carolina was disposed of for the benefit of creditors. As the wife and widow of John K. Cowan, head of a great railroad system, leader of the Maryland bar and foremost political reformer in the state, Mrs. Cowan has occupied a prominent position In society.

DIED IN HIS BATH -ROOM CAREFULLY CLOSED ALL CREVICES AND THEN TURNED ON GAS BEEN READING OXi QUESTIONS OF LIFE AND DEATH. rPuMisliors Prs.l New York, Jan. 9. Albert T. Chit-, tenden, 40 years old, a well known portrait painter, was found dead, a suicide, Jn a bath room of his studio, 15 West Twenty-ninth street, ts aftternoon. He had been dead since Monday, it is believed by coroner's physician O'Hanlon, who made the investigation. This strange note, written on a piece, of brown wrapping paper and pinned on "a gas jet, with which he had connected a pipe, was found by Coroner Harburger: "Life is a rarebit dream. Ha, ha! Such a funny dream. But . enough, enough. I am ready to awake to something less ridiculous." He had made careful preparations for death. Taking the'mattress from the bed in- the front room, he had placed it on the floor of the bath room. Then the cracks in the door leading from the studio to the hall had been closed up with cotton batting. Over that he pasted a plaster so that not a breath of air could come in or escape. When he retired to the bath room he closed up the chinks In the window and then fastened the door and jammed pieces of paper ybetween it and the wall to keep out the air. He had made a contrivance, fastened to a string, so that when he lay down on the floor he could pull the string and turn the gas cock. All this he had done, but he made other preparations for death. Feeling that the gas might not kill him, he had a loaded revolver near his right hand,' evidently intending to shoot himself if the gas failed. But It did not fail. Chittenden before the final act had evidently been reading from several authors on the questions of life and death John Ruskin was a favorite with him. and a page of the famous "critic's "Hertus Inclusum" was marksteadily better and breathing again steadily better aud berathing again the sunshine in soul and lips." On a slip of paper Chittenden had written: "Murder is never justifiable, as it interferes seriously with the plans of others, but suicide is always so, at any instance it is simply 'going away from unbearable conditions. The only objection there can ever be to it is in the case of persons who have assumed great responsibility." ENGLISH ETCHINGS.

BIGGEST OUSTER

SUIT YET FILED Missouri Attorney General Seeks to Oust Railroads and Other Companies. AFTER GOULD INTERESTS SAID THAT STOCK IN ALL THE CONCERNS NAMED IS OWNED BY GOULDS THE WORK OF JOS. RAMSEY. Publishers' Prens.l Jefferson City, Mo., Jan. 9. The biggest ouster suit ever filed in Missouri, is that brought by AttorneyGeneral Hadley today, in which be seeks to oust the Missouri Pacific, the St. Louis and Iron Mountain and the Wabash railways; The Pacific Express company; The Missouri and Kansas Elevator company, the Western Coal and Mining company; the Rich Hill Coal and Mining company, and the American Refrigerator and Transit company, from doing business in Missuri. It is alleged in the petition that the stock of all the companies named, is owned by Gould interests in violation of the constitution and laws of the state. It is reported in railroad circles that Joseph Ramsey, Jr., former president of the Wabash, had supplied a good many hints upon which Attorney-General Hadley has picked up evidence in support of his suit. It will be remembered that the GouId3 unceremoniously threw Ramsey out of the Wabasn at the annual meeting early last year after a fight for proxies. Ramsey refused to enter into certain deals for the Goulds and then tried to wrest contl "from I them. The matter was taken into the courts, but the Goulds won and Ram- ' say was succeeded by F. A. Delano. Ramsey has been bitter against the Goulds since. He was in a position to know all about the various things that Hadly alleges are contrary to the Missouri laws. PITH AND POINT. Every one Is awfully tired of some one thing. There is only one way to meet impoliteness. Ignore it. When you do just exactly what you want don't demand credit for doing it. When a man buys a foolish thing and people laugh at bim he says it was "given to him." It is a part of the love disease for a girl to worry more if her young man gets a splinter in his thumb than If father gets a telegraph pole in his arm. When we sit around and hear a lot of men talk we think, "How smart they are!" But when we note how they act we think, "What fools they . arel"Atchison Globe. When you are tempted to be reckless don't forget that plenty of people have corns, and none ever forgives having the same stepped on. A straight path presents physical difficulties to a crooked man. To people who always play the game of follow your leader a gleam of intel ligence looks like a crime. It never occurs to the victim of a nagger to take treatment for the habit of supplying material. Don't worry about what's going to happen; you are not running the universe, and it isn't your funeral. Exploring at Home. While the pleasure of taking a search warrant and a consignment of canned goods and going to look for the north pole Is denied to most of us, yet there are possibilities for the man of moderate income who wants to experience all of the thrills of exploring, to get them and remain right at home. There is hardly an enterprising city or country village In the land in which the seeker, after adventure may not sally forth on a cold day and kill a stray dog. Then he can shovel away snow and make a bare spot and a fire and have a genuine arctic meal while the neighbors look on with envious eyes. After satisfying his hunger he can wrap a blanket about him and lie down for a peaceful snooze in a snowbank. He should keep this up until all of his toes have beea frost bitten. There is only one drawback to the scheme. It doesn't boost a man to the lecture platform. One Place They Miss. "Where the women go you will always find the men following." "Oh, I don't know." "But it is so." Did you ever go to church: Bargain Cash. Mrs. B. Argain is a firm heltever !a 6ilver money." "Why?" "Because the dollars - are marked down to 69 cents."

The business world and outlook seems excellent to Eugene Zimmerman, of Cincinnati. Before leaving Baltimore for New York today, he said when asked about his daughter, the Duchess of Manchester: "My daughter and her husband are now in India. Iney are making a tour with Mr. and Mrs. James Henry Smith, of New York in their yacht. Mrs. Smith, who was Mrs. Rhinelander Stewart, before her marriage, was formerly Miss Annie Armstrong, of Baltimore. "My daughter's marriage has turned out very happily, thus proving that some of the international marriages don't result unfortunately. I have two little grandsons and one little granddaughter, and I get over to see them as often as possible. My last visit to my son-in-law and daughter was last June." "How do you 'find business conditions in the country?" "First rate. The country is prosperous. The railroads and banks are busy, and there are no signs of depression anywhere.

OWES LIFE TO Mrs. Proctor, of Detroit, Recounts Her Experience in the B. & 0. Wreck. SHE SAVED HER HUSBAND RAYS FROM SEARCHER'S LANTERN SHONE ON JEWEL AND SHE WAS EXTRICATED FROM THE WRECKAGE. Publishers' Pressl Baltimore, Md., Jan. 9. Diamond rings worn on the fingers of Mrs. Charles A. Proctor, of Detroit, Mich., saved the life of herself and her husband in the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, near Washington. The couple were returning from Frederick. Md., where Mr. Proctor had been to visit his dying father, and they were the only survivers oi those seated In the last coach. In recounting her experiences today, Mrs. Proctor said: "Our car was reduced to kindling wood, except two seats.. My face and head were firmly wedged between these and my arms pinioned back of me. I could neither move nor utter a sound. Suddenly the trucks in which the seats were imbedded started down the tracks and in this manner I was dragged for nearly half a mile. I was slowly but surely smothering. When the remnants of the car came to a standstill I was unconscious. "I owe my life to two diamond rings, which I wore. A searcher came down the tracks with a lantern. The rays from this shone against my jewels and by this method attenion was directed to me and I was released. On regaining consciousness my first thoughts were of Mr. Proctor. I immediatly started up the track like a wild deer. I seemed to be in possession of super-human strength. "When at last I found him. he was lying in a ditch by the roadside almost submerged by water and literally covered with wreckage. I tried hard to drag him out, but was unequal to the task. Then I took off my coat and furs. These I forced beneath him in an effort to protect him from the water. It was three hours before he was extricated a bleeding mass. Then, and then only, did I realize that I had been injured." FIGHT WENT TO THE LIMIT Murphy had a Shade the Best of "Young" Corbett in All But Opening Round. fPutlishers Press.j Philadelphia, Jan. 9. The fight between "Young" Corbett and ' Harlem Tommy" Murphy, here tonight, went the limit of six rounds, with Murphy having a shade the best of all but the opening round.
