PLAII CONVENTION FOR ALL CRIMINALS

King of Tramps Reitman Plans Unique Session for New York.

POLICE TO SPREAD NET.

IMMUNITY FOR THE ATTENDANTS IS NOT PROMISED RELATION TO SOCIETY AND POLICE WILL BE DISCUSSED.

New York, Aug. 8. Police headquarters has heard that Dr. Ben Reitman of Chicago, who calls himself the "king of tramps," and has spent the last twenty years doing rescue work among the inhabitants of the under world, has Issued a call for a "convention of criminals" to meet In this city next month. "I'll order the arrest of every criminal who arrives for the convention," tsald Inspector McCafferty, "and I am not yet sure that I won't arrest those persons who are getting up the affair. We want no assembly of criminals In this city." "Dr. Reitman may believe what ' those fellows tell him," said the inspector, "but I don't. We can and will arrest all of them as suspicious persons and the chances are that we'll find that many of them are fugitives from justice, escaped prisoners, ' men under Indictment or men wanted In connection with various crimes. ! We'll throw out the drag net and gather them In." ,' According to the prospectus of the ! convention criminals from all parts i of the country are to meet here to ; discuss their relation to society, to 'the police and to one another. "Brotherhood" Is to be the watchword of the convention. The titles of some of the addresses to be delivered at the convention, If the police forget to go around and arrest everybody connected with the gathering are:- "Twenty-one Years a Criminal; Twenty Years a Prisoner;" "Dope and Booze;" "Do the Police give the Criminal a Fair Deal?" "Easier to Commit Crime Than to Find a Job;" "What Society Owes the Criminal," and "The Average Income of the Criminal."

SEVEN SUBMARINES FOR U. S. NAVY

Spear, the Expert, to Superintend the Work.

- New York, Aug. 8. Lawrence Spear,' vice president of the Electric Boat company who Is considered the leading authority on submarines in America, haa returned to- New York after a tour of observation abroad. He will immediately begin the construction of seven submarines for the United State government. "I have had an opportunity to learn something about the extent of the building of fighting craft in foreign countries," he said, "and it may be put down as a certainty that Japan is not buying battleships or cruisers, but is making tremendous strides in the building of torpedo boat destroyers and submarines In her own yards. "No one knows what they have or what they Intend to build. They are courteous but secretive. England and Germany have been called upon by Ja- , pan to submit plans for the construction of ship building plants."

YET SNAKE IS NOT AS BIG AS IT MIGHT BE.

Greenfield, Ind., Aug. 8. A snake has been seen several times within the last few days on Col. W. W. Duddlng's farm, near this city, by Charles Coffman, Archie Jones and other persons, who describe it as fifteen feet in length, with a head as big as both hands of a man, and its body as large as a man's thigh. The body is covered with white and brown spots.

IS NO SETTLEMENT Arrival of Baby Causes Complications in Famous Young Estate.

ESTATE WORTH $25,000,000

Chicago, August 8. The settlement of the $25,000,000 trusteed fortune left by Otto Young, of this city, one of the largest which has yet in the United States been tied up in trust, has been complicated by the arrival of a $3,000,000 grandchild, Samuel K. Martin, Jr., who immediately became one of the richest babies in his own right In the world. His arrival, however, not only cost the six other heirs of the Young fortune his portion, a seventh, of the estate, but postponed the final settlement of the trusteeship for 21 years. He makes the seventh heir. By the peculiar provisions of the Young will the present fortune with Its accumulations is to go in equal parts to the grandchildren, which puts, therefore, a big premium upon baby cousins of Samuel, Jr. Until the baby came the Martins had no claim upon the estate. The prospective share of Mrs. Celia Young lleyworth was decreased by Samuel's appearance from 25 to 22 per cent of the whole, that of Mrs. Catherine O. Young Hobart, by the sum of $355,000. Under the terms of the trusteeship the division cannot be made until the youngest grandchild has attained 21 years, and, Samuel is the youngest Young. The results in this case will be interesting commentaries upon the growing disposition of wealthy men to trustee their estates, in much the same manner as Marshall Field did and many men in the east have done. What effect the certainty of great wealth will ha-ve upon the morals and health of the heirs and also what effect upon financial affairs the trusteeing of such big sums will have, probably will be well known by the time this $3,000,000 baby receives his share of the Young fortune, if he does live to receive it.

A LUMBER TRUST Big Lumber Companies of the West Will Join Together, It Is Claimed.

JUST CAUSE FOR ATTACK.

i

Chicago, 111., Aug. 8. Is a $300,000,000 lumber trust in process of formation? That great commercial mystery, which Missouri and Kansas are attacking, the big lumber companies are active in denying the existence of, but there Is some excellent evidence offered that the merger will be made if the attorney generals of those states or for. Uncle Sam don't prevent it. That a meeting was recently held In St. Louis to discuss such a consolidation is admitted, Frederick E. Weyerhauser of St. Paul and Edward Hines of Chicago, among those present. Later J. B. White, of Kansas City, made this statement: "It's a dream. Mr. Weyerhauser as much as told me that himself. A number of men met In St. Louis several weeks ago to discuss such a consolidation and appointed a committee to perfect the plan. When the committee left here the folly of the project grrjfiually dawned upon them." During the lull in the lumber business the golden opportunities of mergers

seem to dance in the fancies of the lumber kings for, in spite of 'denials,

the rumor of consolidation still is

heard fitfully. Competition In the soft lumber trade, it was said, was

"ruining" prices, there being a sharp

reduction that has been welcomed by

the public. That the big lumbering companies, which have denuded great empires of their timber, wastefully, wantonly and at ridiculous cost for the stumpage, should now declare for

a preservation of the forests, as they

recently did. Is looked upou as a sorry kind of joke. The Northwestern

Lumbermen's association at a meeting

here recently declared: "Forests

which should be protected from need

less destruction are allowed to be de

stroyed simply from noninteiference

either from the government or own

ers. All forests must be protected, cultivated and nurtured to the fullest, or the price of lumber and building

material will go far beyond the ordi

nary purse."

GUARD AGAINST FIRE

Pennsylvania Train Crews to Extinguish It When Noticed.

TO PROTECT RIGHT OF WAY.

Logansport, Ind., Aug. 8. An order was issued by Trainmaster S. F. Johnston to all Panhandle crews this morning, instructing them to stop their trains wherever they see fire that threatens bridges and other railroad property and to fight with the flames until they are extinguished. The report cites the action of a certain conductor who saw a tie close to a trestle burning, and instead of putting out the fire or Immediately reporting it, waited until his train drew in here. He reported then, but it was

too late, as the bridge was afire arr

part of the structure was burned away. Conductors are cautioned not to follow the example of this man. The report says that schedules are to be disregarded in case of fire that threatens the company's right-of-way. Crews are warned especially to be alert regarding grass fires. CHURCH TOWER

Dubuque Suspends Business During Hours of Funeral Of Senator Allison.

WAS BURIED AS HE LIVED.

DONE IN 1011

Dubuque, la., Aug. 8. As be lived, so was Senator William B. Allison buried today In a manner devoid of all ostentation. Services were held at the home of the dead statesman and while not of a private character, the limited accommodations of the home permitted only the presence of the distinguished visitors and the most intimate friends of the senator. The services were simple. The Rev. J. T. Bergen, of the Westminster Presbyterian church, officiated. The burial was private. All Dubuque paid tribute to the memory of Senator Allison today. During the hours of the funeral ceremony not a wheel turned throughout the city and every business house closed its doors. Flags hung at half-mast from public buildings and hundreds of homes and business houses were trimmed with crepe. The trolley poles throughout the main thoroughfares of the city were wound with black and white.

Much Labor on Campanile of St. Mark's Church.

Venice, Aug. 8. The new campanile or bell tower, of St. Mark's church in Venice, will probably be completed by, April, 1911. The bricks used are baked twice, with, wood fire, and then submerged in water for a week before being used. The number of men employed is about a hundred, and 3,500 bricks are laid daily. The foundation has been made strong enough to bear a structure three times as heavy as the tower will be.
