CORONER SAYS MAN DIED FROM NATURAL CAUSES. II -r-l l II. H I . I - O . . X I MOius max ne, ivoian, ouneieu From Hemorrhage and Was Not Killed by An Accident. Cambridge City, Tnd., May 2. Sidney Xolan, aged Jl. brakeman on Pennsylvania freight train No. riled i" a midden and mysterious manner here this afternoon. Hp had koih in between two cars (o uncouple the air tubes and upon emerging threw his hand above his head and fell to the ground upon his face. He was picked up by trainmen and carried to a restaurant and physicians summoned. Methods of artificial respiration were resorted to and he survived for about nn hour. The body gave no indications of the life of the man having been crushed out. The train was standing Ffill at the time. Nolan was the son cf J. K. Nolan, general yardtnaster for the Panhandle at Hradford Junction, Ohio. He is survived by his father and ;i sister, Mrs. Alice Howe, of Pittsurg. Coroner Wampler hastened to Cam"hridge City this afternoon in answer to a rail. The body of Nolan was placed at his disposal and a careful examination was made. No marks were found upon the body to indicate the man had been crushed or bruised. There were a few abrasions about the face and scratches on the forehead. It. was evident these had been caused ry the fall upon the gravel of the railroad roadbed. The man bled freely from ihe mouth after lie fell, and the verdict of the coroner will be that death was due to natural causes. In the opinion of Dr. Wampler, Nolan suffered from a hemorrhage of the lungs nd the rush of blood to his mouth strangled him. His month was full cf blood, .lust previous to his death constant rattling in the air tubes was heard. lire. Mauk and Hoyd. who attended to the dying wants of the man, were unable to provide relief. There is no difference in the accounts of the death of Nolan. All eyewitnesses say be did not cry out and they had no intimation of anything being wrong until the man raised his hands and plunged forward onto his face. The accident took place only a fhort. distance easi of the station. NoInn had been a fireman formerly, but pave up his position because the work was too severe and became a brakeman. E. P. Heed, a railroad detective, rss on the scene and accompanied the hody to Bradford. The funeral and burial will take place at that city. BRYAN OR NOBODY So Says Henry Watterson Speaking of the Situation. SUPPORT IS NECESSARY. Louisville, May 2. Henry W'atterSn. in the Courier-Journal today says: "If we can not elect Bryan we can elect nobody. The time for alternatives went long ago. There is but one ronrws open for sensible men and good democrats io pursue, and that is to quit hairsplitting:, to close ranks and to rally round the donkey and the flag Mill a&'l'CUlS lilt' lit'UlUlltll It legend, 'F.quality for all men. exclusive privileges for none." We fought a good fight aginst Bryan end we fought it to a finish. We fought It sincerely, openly, frankly, unsparingly. Not ti in i 1 money, mysterious end unexpected took the field-after we had plead in vain for some intelligent, disinterested, popular response --did the newspapers of New York city begin to open their eyes, to sit up end take notice. It is too late. "But what matters it? Most of these newspapers were long ago committed to Taft. Not one of them is a Democrat by principle, by predilection or by habit. "In short and in fine, democrats must get down to busines- and out of the anti-Bryan habit. It is Bryan or nothing. Except that too many fools got to the front the party might have been saved in lt. It can be saved tow if too many fools do not go to the rear."

WHERE DID IT COME FROM?

New York, May '-. Charles W. Morse fooled all hi;; enemies toriav by triumphantly slamming ff'.uo.noo or its negotiable equivalent in the faces of creditor:-: who hud sought to throw him into ihe bankruptcy court. Altogether Morse paid o!' claims of more than $r,u0.owi. Thar he should be able to do that so soon after the panic was looked tt'ion in financial circles as an astonishing performance Morse paid over to Charles A. Manila, receiver of the National Hank of North America, $ nr.u.OUO. of which $;.-. OUD was in cash and the rest in first-class securities. Tito payment was accepted in offset of a claim of $.",00,000 against .Morse. Hatina within two weeks will pay a " per 'cent, dividend tf the depositors of the bank. Hanna at once instructed bis lawyer to have dismissed a suit for $40r.CT6.fi2 and interest, which be had instituted in the Supreme Court on March ft against Morse on account of notes Morse had induced the bank to discount for him. CLAIMED THAT THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE IS MUCH MUDDLED Notwithstanding the Fact That Taft Is Leading the Socalled "Field" Insists Cannot Be Nominated. He ONE HUNDRED FORTYTWO DELEGATES NAMED. All of These Were Selected Last Week and War Secretary Gets the Lion's Share Of the Entire Number. Washington. May -. With the Re publican National convention to meet i six weeks from next Tuesday and with three fourths of the delegates chosen, the outcome of the contest for the nomination for the presidency is about as much in doubt as it hits been at any time since the campaign for delegates was started. President Roosevelt, who is interested in the Taft campaign, asserts daily that his candidate will be nominated on the first ballot. Supporters of the several "field" candidates do not believe Taft will be nominated, although they admit he will go into the convention with a formidable following. May 17 the Last Day. One hundred and forty-two delegates to the convention were chosen during the last week, bringing the total now elected up to 72S. Within the next two weeks May IT being the last day. under the call, on which delegates can be chosen 2'2 delegates must be elected. Of the total number chosen the last week the table keepers credit

On the face of the figures Taft has 201 against l-"7 of all other descriptions. The "field" candidates insist that Taft's full strength is represented by the 2.'l votes, representing the delegates who have been instituted for him, who were chosen Ty conventions' that expressed a preference for him. or I who have publicly said they intended j to vote for him. On the other hand ' the managers of the Taft campaign ! I assert that bis total strength is much 1 n'uii i inn n nanu u luc Irtlt; of the returns. No Ground for Claim. For instance. hi s iiLinasprs clattii for him all the contested delegates and about one-third of the uninstructed del - egates. Cnder a claim of this sort his actual strength at this time is close to -l votes. It is asserted by the "field" that practically none of the iiinstnicted delegates is for the War Secretary and that no one has any right to lay claim to the contested vote at this time. It is evident that unless there shall be an unexpected turn in the situation the convention will come on with the situation about as complex as it is today. The prospect is that there will be something like l. votes involved in the contests, and these votes promise to be a factor in the convention. It is this important phase of the situation which leads the national commitContinued on Page Seven.)

It appears like ly that the expected increase in rail made road freight, rates is about to lx A few days ago a member of the Interstate' Commerce Commission expressed the opinion that within three or four months, unless a decided improvement in railway conditions should take place it probably would be necessary for the carriers either to increase freight, rates or to reduce the wages of their employes. Personally and officially, the commissioned deprecated the talking of either horn of the dilemma by the railroads, but lie believed it to be inevitable that one or the other course would be taken. Sooner than was expected, ait ion looking to an increase in freight rates has been taken. The railwas of the southeastern territory have filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission tariffs effective .tune first, increasing their freight rates on fresh meats ma terially. The proposed rates will afinto the fect all fresh meats shipped sottt heastern territory from the North anil West. Means Increase in Prices. The new rates will take effect at Ohio river and Mississippi river crossings, including Memphis. Term., and will be effective into all parts of what, is known as the Carolina territory, that is. the tedious of the country east of Ashcville. N. C, and south oT Panville, Ya. The increase will amount to from f$ cenls to li cents a hundred pounds on all fresh meats, it is Ihe first material raise in the rates of foodstuffs made by the railroads of the country for a good many years, it will mean much to the consumers as it will probably result in an increase of approximately 1 cent a pound on low grades of meats and perhaps as much as 2 cents a pound on the select cuts. While the increase to the consumer in the territory affected by 1he proposed rates is noticeable, it is likely that it is intended as a feeler of public sentiment with a view to making a general raise in rates on all commodities. The Entering Wedge. It is conceded by tariff experts of railroads that many of the commodity rates of American railways now in force are comparatively low. and iT is regarded by those who have studied the situation that in view of ihe increased cost of railway equipment and of railway employes, it may be necessary to increase some of the freight, rates. This is a matter, however, which the Interstate Commerce Commission probably will inquire into carefully to determine whether the rates proposed are i:i any sense excessive or unreasonable. The increase of rates on fresh meals into the southeastern into the question raised will be awaited with interest. MKINLEY NEAR COMPLETION Dedicatory Exercises to Held May 11. Be Bradford.

RECORDS OF BUCKET SHOP ARE OPENED IN THEOUEEN CITY Business Secrets of 0'Dell Company, Which Formerly Operated in Richmond, Are Of Much Interest RECEIPTS OF CONCERN REACHED BIG FIGURE. Records Show That Daily Business Ran Between $25,000 And $100,000 Balance Always With Broker. Much has been revealed that is of more; than ordinary interest in this city by the investigation of the records of the O'Del! brokerage company of Cincinnati. This company is defunct now, but a few years ago it op erated a branch office in this city and there are many men and some few women, who remember well the knowledge they gained of buckeishop operation in thoso das. There was a certain group of men that scanned the blackboards daily. Some called or 'phoned into the office half a dozen times each day. These were the mos' interested because they had risked something in the mad desire to gain more than they had risked. It was not professional and business men alone, who followed the boards and awaited the click of the instrument bringing news of failure or success. There were many mere boys students at the high school, who iacei their SI or S2 in jeopardy. Competition came with the increase in business, however, and after the company had held forth for a protracted period, other agencies were opened. The office did not pay as well as the offocials of the concern deemed proper and it was closed. Strange things happened in the days of the aggressive nucketsiiops netore tne law was enforced more stringently. Rumors of many of these strange things are being divulged in actualities by the archives of the company. A Cincinnati dispatch says of the records: Sheet after sheet of figures may contain little that is intelligible to the uninitiated, but any novice can catch a gleam of meaning to such exclamatory entires as: "H 1 of a ro'ten wire to ." Nor does one have to hold a diploma in finance to evidence almost humr.n intelligence in the presence of this demand: "Deposit $10,000 to our credit and wire at once, or will have to close out vour deal." While for 'he most part the journal is Oroek and the ledger "dog-latin" to j the repertorial understanding, even a I newspaper man. totally devoid of busi- j ness instincts, can gather sonic idea i of what it may portend when he sees such an entry as: "Debtor $4f'.50O: creditor. $2". 137: on margins, f.r.-lGn ; j profit and loss. $t3,".on. j Not a bad take-off for a day's busi- j ncss, even when the market is fairly i good.
