GLADSTONE FAVORED IDEA.

WHEN HE DISCOVERED THE GREAT COST HE ABANDONED THE SCHEME HOWEVER SOCIALISTS FAVOR PROJECT. London, Nov. 28. When things are letting dull and people are Inclined to CO to sleep, that Irrepressible young tian, Mr. Winston Churchill, president of the board of trade, Is sure to be up and saying or doing things to stir up a commotion. Now he has set the whole city inquiring if. railway nationalization is to be the next plank in the liberal govtrnment't platform. Mr. David Lloyd-George has already expressed hlms;;'f in favor of the principle of states control of railways, but Bow Mr. Winston Churchill states definitely that a measure to secure this ubject will be proposed by the present government. The socialists will be delighted" with the project held out by the president of the board of trade, for this is the pet feature of their general hevelling down programme. Nor is it a new plank for the liberals. So long ago as 1874 Gladstone had the proposal up his sleeve, but there it stopped when he discovered ;that the government would not be able to purchase the railways for less than one thousand and sixty million pounds fterllng. There are few who realize what the Jidea involves. The total authorized capital of the railways of this country Vs no less than f l,:!f.,7!0,0X ($0.U28,05,X)0). The total mileage is 23,74, and the passengers carried numIber annually the total of l,24O,3:tt,)0!. The bare idea of buying out a system whose capital runs into the thousands of millions is a staggerer which not even th J adventurous liberal government can contemplate with equanimity. :yv. It is 'urged for the proposal that private ownership leads to a waste which Bias to be paid for by the public in pigher rates and fares. State rallways would provide, it is said, shorter hoursani higher wages for employes, workmen's trains, cheaper fares, and Increased facilities all around. On the other hand it is pointed out I KJU VJUm U jthat on Cc Kvays passe ! - .itContinental State owned ralllassengers travel much more kslowly, the charges are higher, and facilities for third class passengers are jfar less good, take longer transit, offficialdoui is rampant, and that a dangerous opportunity is established for 'iising the employes for political pur'poses. The problem Is gigantic enough even vfor the intellect of the president of the poard of trade. B OFFICERS ' INSTALLED TODAY .Officials of St. John's Church ' To Assume Duties. . New officers of the St. John's Lutheran church, who were elected last kveek at a congregational meeting, will, 'be Installed today. The Sunday school officers will be named the first Cunday of the new year. Those who will take their places today are: Elder, Henry Weber; Trustee, Henry Habighorst; deacons, Richard Natpinger and Henry Nordsick. The Rev. A. J. Feeger will have charge of the installation. CHASES HUSBAND . . . . TWO THOUSAND MILES 'Abandoned Wife Has Spouse Arrested. Chicago, Nov. 2S. After a search of Bix months, during which she has traveled nearly 2,000 miles in tracing her husband, who abandoned her, Mrs. Hay Harper, of New York, caused his arrest in front of the postofflce. "Hello, Jim," was the wife's salutation, as Harper stepped up to the general delivery window to inquire for pail. , "Howdy, May?" was the runaway husband's reply. "Glad to "see you, let." - At that moment Detectives Bush and Murphy of headquarters, who were Tiiding nearby, stepped from behind a pillar and placed Harper under arrest. The wife had sworn out a warrant several days ago, charging wife abandonment and before Harper could realize what happened, he was in a cell at the (Harrison street station. ' The prisoner is twenty-nine years 7ld. He was a special policeman in New York wben he married his wife, last March. After two months Harder, the wife alleges, ran away with $400 of her money, which she gave fcim to invest i Two weeks ago the wife learned that he was In Milwaukee. She came west only to find that he had fled from the Wisconsin city the day before with a red-haired woman known (is "Josephine."

A corn picker and husker that is expected to prove oae of the greatest ag

ricultural machines on the market has been invented by Jessa H. Johnson, formerly of New Paris, tut now residing in Kansas City, Kan. The device is the product of ten years of labor. After interesting Kansas City capital in the project Mr. Johnson came to this city and built the steel frame for the mechanism. It was constructed at the plant of the Standard Manufacturing company. This portion of tlie work represents an expenditure of $1,000. The steel frame has been completed and sent to Kansas City.

All reported favorably after their examination and expect it will prove a great sensation in the corn harvesting business. Mr. Johnson's many friends in this vicinity are glad to hear of his success. TEACHERS TO MEET IN JOINT SESSION Northern and Southern Association Sessions in April. Richmond school teachers have received notice that the first joint meeting of the Northern and Southern Indiana Teachers' associations will be held in Indianapolis next April.

CANADA SETS AN EXAMPLE.

SHOWN THAT RAILROAD BUILDING IS ON INCREASE IN THAT COUNTRY AND PEOPLE ARE PROFITING BY IT. Chicago, Nov. 28. Active railroad competition as a 'remedy for some of our more press?ng transportation problems has found a new exponent in the officers of the Canadian railroads, who do not agree it appears, with the Harrimans and the Hills that pooling of traffic and holding companies are an unmixed blessing. Arthur Hawkes, of the Canadian Northern line, who nas just been in Chicago, Is the latest visitor to this country to point out the dangers of consolidation. In Canada the situation is very different, he declared, for with every other road in the same ter ritory and railroad building to provide for increasing traffic is being carried on at a rate that far exceeds that here. As an example of this activity he cited the Brandon-Regina short line of the Canadian Northern, which was opened barely three weeks ago and which has provided still another route between Winnipeg and Regina, in competition with the Cana dian Pacific railway. This meets the demands of the late fall freight traffic and will furnish the facilities for a fast service from Winnipeg to the Saskatchewan capital. In t his coun try the tendency has been the other way and railroad building has fallen far behind the needs as compared with Canada which has now more railroad mileage per capita than any other country on therlobe. The Canadian Northern railroad has the even more unique record of having extended its lines a mile a day for eleven years. Whether the United States will heed this latest warning from its neighbor to the north connot of course be told but railway men here have stated their opinion that more active steps will have to be taken in t he near future if United States roads expect to keep pace with the big dominion lines. MINING INTERESTS WORTH FAB0L00S SUM Haqerstown Man lucky in Alaska. Hagerstown, Ind., Nov. 28. Fabulous offers for special interests in the mines owned by Thomas Thurston, of tnis place, and three other friends at Fairbanks, Alaska. In a letter to his parents here Mr. Thurston writes that the company's prospects for a large output of gold from the several claims is more than flattering. Small specimens of quartz were sent recently that are said o contain gold assaying at $100 to the ton. Mr. Thurston has written in his last letter that specimens have been found now, which assay $4,000 to the ton. He says a ton of gold producing quartz contains about twelve cubic feet. TBI TO SUICIDE ONCE EFORE Eleanor Merron Cowper Was With "Rep" Company. New York, Nov. 28. Eleanor Merron Cowper, the actress and playwright who is dying In the Presbyterian hospital with a bullet in the head, self -inflected in her room at the Hotel St. Regis, tried to kill herself two years ago, it has been learned. Miss Merron, as she was known on the stage, was at that time traveling with a repertoire company and had reached Syracuse. After the performance one night during the Syracuse engagement, she went to her hotel and tried to shoot herself in the head. But her aim was bad as it was in her latest attempt and she missed. The actress did not keep this attempt on her life a secret from some of her move intimate friends. In telling them of her intention some day to make another attempt to kill herself, she said after the first, unsuccessful trial: "Well, I have gotten as far as the first shot." STRIKE BREAKERS TO BE.

Nelson Morris Is a Financier Shows That Greater Part of Fortune Was Invested in StocksChicago Dealers Wish to Prevent Mortgage Forgeries.

gen forgeries has been taken up by "How to Stay Rich" is a problem to which the $18,000,000 Nelson Morris fortune recently inventoried, contributes on analysis much valuable information. In view of Peter Van Vlisslngen's confession to forging mortgages, it is interesting to note that the Morris Inventory does not include many mortgages, nearly all of his wealth being in general estate, stocks and bonds, with $318,513 in notes. Out of the total fortune $9,877,000 was in stocks, which is a particularly interesting fact in view of the prejudice held in the west not many years ago against stocks and preference for mortgages. The stocks, however were not of the wild cat companiesmining gambles or rubber plantations but were those listed on the Chicago or other exchanges. The black eye given to the morttween the new men and the strike sympathizers. Efforts are being made by prominent citizens today including Judge Quackenboss and Sheriff Main to get the old men to return to work on the basis offered by the company with the hope of ultimately having the company raise the rate of wages to $1.50 which they are now demanding as the price of their return to work. But little success is being met with, however, as the men say they fear the result of their returning to work. THINKS FILIPINOS READY TO RULE Progress Made in Islands Is Great. New York, Nov. 2S. Senor Pablo Ocampo, of the Philippine islands, who has arrived in the United State, says that the Filipinos are now ready and waiting for independence which means to them autonomy and a position on the map of the world that they have never had. "Spain never did anythnig but grind down t he Filipino," he said, "and it came not until the United States came that we knew the possibilities of a free government. The advances that have been made In the came are too great for ordinary comment." LAND ENOUGH FOR IMim SETTLERS United States Has Enough to Give Each 160 Acres. Washington, Nov. 28. The General Land office publishes the fact that besides the snow-covered plains of Alaska, there are in the United States 380,873,787 acres of public land subject to entr yunder the land laws. This amount is enough to supply homesteads of 10O acres each to 2,417,901 settlers. Much of this land, however, is marked swampy, arid or mountainous. In Alaska the public lands amount to 318,021.500 acYes, nearly as much as all the public lands in the United States combined.

EL gages by the $2,000,000 Van Vlissenthe real estate dealers of the city wtih a view to make impossible a repetition of the wholesale frauds. A compulsory law requiring the registration of mortgages under the Torrens system is advocated as a safeguard. Another class of investors who are conspicuously occupying tht anxious seat now as a result of the A. Booth & Co. failure, are those holding commercial paper of concerns which do not furnish an audit by certified accountants with their reports. The Booth paper floated without such audits, was scattered broadcast and now promises only 35 cents cn the dollar, the loss running to several millions. The Morris inventory is remarkable therefore, because the bad accounts prove to be under $100,000 notwithstanding the size of the fortune. NEW $5 COUNTERFEIT OUT.
