GOTIAI

Well Known Man, Former Cabinet Officer, Was a Victim of Apoplexy. ' New York, Jan. 20. Paul Morton, president of the Kqullable Life Assurance society, died suddenly at 6:45 o'clock lt night at the Hotel Beymour,'44 West Forty-fifth tsreet where he Imd none, presumably, to keep a Ituwiuca engagement. Apoplexy caused death. After an

InveHtifuticm by Coroner Felnberg It developed that Mr. Morton had been 111 for some time, and that his own

physician. Dr. Joseph Adler, had told him ho could not be cured. The Decedent's Career.

i'aul Morton was the son of J. Ster

ling Morton, the secretary of agriculture In Mr. Cleveland'! last cabinet, and most gratefully remembered as the founder of Arbor Day. His mother before ber marriage. Miss Caroline Joy came of a prominent family In Detroit, It was In Detroit that Mr. Paul Morton was born, May 22, 1857. When 6 months old he was taken to Nebraska City where he remained on his father's homestead until he was 16 years old. ' In those good old days of the California trail, long trains, drawn by mules' and oxen went slowly by the farm, bound for Pike's Peak and Salt Lake. Then young Morton decided that he would give his work to transportation. To be a wagon "boss" or a stage driver was his first ambition. In 1872 Mr. Morton went to work for the Burlington railroad for $16 a month. When he was 21 he bad become the assistant general freight agent or that line. Afterward he became Its general passenger agent, and later Its general freight agent He remained .In that post until 1890 when be engaged In the coal and Iron bust, ncss. In 1896 he became third vice president of the Santa Fa railway system; be was afterward promoted to second vice president. He held this Ignition when he was called by President Roosevelt to a cabinet position. Starting with no 'capital except brain and brawn, Mr. Morton became a man of fortune. He began as a rail road clerk, and he finally met financiers, statesmen and railroad "magnates" on their own grounds. When Mr. Morton went to the Santa Fe railroad system Its earnings were $34,000,000 annually; when be left It the yearly earnings had reached $68.000,000 an Increase of 100 per cent In seven years. Had Many Friends. He had Indomitable win, tireless energy, a shrewd knowledge of ham . '-i.:'- i he faculty of absorbing detail . d:H'Hng quickly, a good memory bra the capacity for making steadfast friends. His Intimates Included not only tuo captains of Industry, but Journalists, authors and men of many kinds of culture. The prlvate latchstring was always ont for newspaper men, who rarely left without a Kood story if there was any news worth Imparting. He was a companionable man a just one, too. He was fair to railway patrons and fair to railroad employes. Conductors and engineers knew him as their friend. , As secretary of the navy his salary was less than one-third of his former railway salary. The new position Involved a financial sacrifice. , ; Wheu Morton became secretary of the navy in 1904, he lived In Chicago, lie remained In that post, bowever, only about, a year when be resigned to become president of the Equitable Assurance Society.

DIGltOlY DEAL HAS GOIIEJTIIROUGH Canadian-Pacific Will Enter Cincinnati Over the C. & O. of Indiana. .

By the completion of a traffic agreement between the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad company, which is in control of the C. ft O.. of Indiana railroad, and the Canadian Pacific railroad company, the importance of Richmond as a railroad and trade center will be greatly enhanced. Such an

agreement means that both the Chesapeake and Ohio and the Canadian Pacific will have an outlet to both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and that the C. ft 0 of Indiana will be the connecting link of two of the biggest railroads In the world. For several weeks it Is understood the two roads have been dickering to complete the deal. It has been kept as much a secret as possible in order that neither the Hill nor the Hawley systems would be embarrassed by the possibility of other roads blocking the deal. The officers of the two roads have constantly been holding meetings at Chicago, and Cincinnati, but the deal has progressed so far that the secret was divulged In Cincinnati this week. Reports have been in circulation that the C St O.. of Indiana officials would make Richmond one of the most important points on the line by the location of large railroad shop here. No announcement to this effect has ever been made. A corps of elvtl engineers have made a survey for the purpose of both straightening out the 'kinks" In the line and for double track. Over Million Spent. About a million dollars was spent last summer In Improvements to the line, some of the expenditures being for strengthening bridges and double tracking between . certain points. As soon as the weather moderates In the spring, the work will be resumed again. Attention first will be given to that section of the road between Peru and Chicago and later the Southern half of the line will be looked after. , f The Canadian Pacific has had its eyes on Cincinnati for some little time, and made overtures to the C. ft O., Immediately after It secured control of the C, C. ft L., for an entrance Into this elty. The traffic deal hung fire for a few months, but has practically been completed. Trains of the Cana

dian Pacific will enter Cincinnati about

May 1,' according to the present arrangements, using the Fourth street depot of the C. and 6. Later on the trains may enter the Union Depot, provided other roads do not interfere with such an agreement, as they did In the case of tbe old C, C. and L. Eventually the traffic agreement will be extended over the main line of the C. and O., to Newport News, giving the C. P. a coast-to-coast route. The Western terminal of the road are Vancouver, British Columbia; ' Portland. Oregon, and Seattle, Washington. Branches in Northwest. From Pasqua, Saskatchewan, Canada it has a line called the Minneapolis,

8t. Paul and Sault Ste Marie. Another

terminal of this same road Is Winnipeg. Other branches of the road in the United States traverse North Dakota,' Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. The traffic agreement with the Canadian Pacific will give the C. and O. another outlet for its growing coal traffic through Cincinnati and the C. P., In turn, will have a new outlet for Its traffic from the Northwest, which, heretofore, has been diverted by various ways through Cincinnati.

MAN IS FOUND DEAD

DESIRES ORDINANCE

In Furnace Room Under a Cigar Store. Jacob Detro. aged 58, who had been in this city for about seven years employed in various capacities, was found dead in the furnace room below the Empire Cigar store, 712 Main street, about 7:30 o'clock last evening. The body was discovered by Wilbur Toney lying across boards covering the furnace pit. Detro was employed In carrying out ashes by Fireman Robert Bogan. Coroner R. J. Pierce was summoned and an Investigation was made. The appearance of the body, the left side being bruised, indicated that he had fallen from the passage way above the pit, a distance of about five feet. His shoes were off, and the supposition Is advanced that he had Just come in from out of doors and was intending to warm his feet. An attack of heart failure is believed to have caused Detro's fall. Coroner Pierce states that his verdict will probably be to this effect. He has not completed evidence in the case. Some trouble is expected in locating Detro's relatives. It is known that he has one sister, but her exact residence is unknown. It is believed she resides at Union City, O. Only one paper was found In the effects of the dead man. That bore the address New Madison, O., his former home. The body was taken to the morgue of Doan & Klute, undertakers, where it will be held until answers are received from inquiries sent out as to the whereabouts of his sister. It is hoped to obtain this information from the authorities at New Madison.

Requiring Reports on Moving to the Police. When questioned as to what ordinances might be passed during the year. Mayor Zimmerman today said that one of the best ordinances would be one

repealing most of those already in existance. He satd there are many unnecessary and even foolish ordinances now in effect that do no good. However, there are two important bills, which President Hammond, of

the board of works wishes to get ; through this year. The first Is a bill providing that all transfer and mov

ing van agencies shall keep a record of all persons moved and from where and to where they are taken. Once a week there shall be a report of the persons moved made to police headquarters, where a permanent record shall be kept. In this way President Hammond believes the police can keep track of many persons, who are continually moving about It is this class of people who are most often wanted by the police. This ordinance would not Include transients. The other ordinance under consideration Is one providing tfiat threshing machines may not use the streets for commercial purposes without the payment of a very heavy license fee. These two ordinances are all the board of works now has under consideration.

PICKED JAIL FOR POPULAR HOTEL Iluros B. Burnstein, 72, totally blind, and partially drunk, was arrested by Patrolman Vogelsong, about noon today.

He was greatly enraged to find It was polices headquarters.
