MURDERER MAKES ESCAPE Crazed By Thought Wife Had Spurned Him, Ed Hart, of Lagrange, Wields Automatic Pistol With Deadly Effect—Other News of the Day. * Lagrange, Ind.. Dec. 28. —Despond- ' ent, probably under the influence of | liquor and angered because his young ‘ r wife would not live with him. Edward ' l Hart shot and instantly killed his i wife’s mother. Mrs. Sarah Mcßride, j then turned the smoking gun upon ; the -wfife, shot bZr twice and she lies dead at her hofne. The motive for the double tragedy is not definitely known. Hart is about 3b years old and has been considered as a worthless fellow since he has lived in Lagrange, given to drink, sometimes having been drunk for a week at a t time. According to thq story told by neighbors who rushed to the home soon after the shooting, Mrs. Mcßride was shot through the nose, the bullet passing through the brain and out again. A portion of the brain oozed out upon the floor and death was instantaneous. Mrs. Hart was shot twice, one bullet tearing open her throat, while the second went through the side of her head. Hart’s wife's father, Stephen McBride, died three or four years ago, and carried a life insurance policy in favor of his daughter, who later became Hart’s wife. After his death, the girl moved to town and after the affairs had been settled there was a balance left oij about S3OO, which went to Mrs. Hart. Then she went to live with her mother, Mrs. Mcßride, and young Hart boarded and roomed with ; them. He became infatuated with the daughter and, it is said, was compelled to marry her to escape prosecution on a paternity charge. It ,is declared that he never treated her as a husband should treat his wife, and that there has always been trouble ■ between the two. . Resists While Bullets Hold Out.

ILS.WARS ON CORN FLAKEMONOPOLY i Kellogg Company Acqpied of Fixing Arbitrary Prices. PETITION IN EQUITY FILED Concern Alleged to Have Stifled Competition’by Its Sale Agreements With Jobbers—Carton Patent Attacked. Detroit, Mich., Dec. 28.—A petition In equity was filed against the Kellogg Toasted Corn Flake company in the federal district court here by order of Attorney General Wickersham to settle for all time the extent to which a manufacturer may control ' retail prices. The company and its officers, engaged in the manufacture of Kellogg’s I toasted corn flakes, are charged with I fixing prices at which the flakes are i sold to retailer and consumer, pre- ; venting competition which would reduce the price to the public and creating a monopoly by concentrating the entire interstate traffic in this commodity 'in the hands of jobbers and I retailers who abide by price agree- 1 ments exacted by the defendants.. It is alleged that the defendants have invoked the patent laws through the use of a patented carton in which the flakes are packed as a “mere subterfuge :tnd device” so escape the provisions of the Sherman law. The government asks for injunctions to prevent the company, its officers and agents from controlling the price of the breakfast food after it leaves the hands of the manufacturer. The following are named as defendants: Kellogg Toasted Corn Flake ( company, and. Will K. Kellogg, Wil- ( fred C. Kellogg and Andrew Rose, respectively president, secretary and , general manager of the company, all. , of Battle Creek, Mich. , it is alleged the company sells only , to jobbers, refusing absolutely to deal , directly with consumers or with the ( retail trade. The commodity, accord- ( Ing to the petition, is sold to jobbers j at a uniform price under an agreement that the jobbers will sell to re- ( i taileys at a price fixed by the defend- ; ants. The defendants are charged t with strictly enforcing the agreement ’ of sale by absolutely refusing to deal , with any jobber who fails to maintain the specified price. . . ' By the use of a patented carton the ‘ defendants are alleged to control the price at which retailers sell to consumers.

ALASKA IS PROSPEROUS, ASSERTS GOVERNOR CLARK He Tells of Peninsula's Good Year But Deplores Lack of Railroads and Fuel. Washington, Dec. 28. —Alaska has prospered in many respects during the last year, according to Gov. Walter E. Clark, in his annual report, sub- | mitted on Thursday to Secretary of the Interior Fisher. Governor Clark deplores, however, the present lack of railroad construction and of cheap native fuel, asserting that proper development of the territory’s resources demands adequate “means of transportation and the opening up of the fuel resources. He asserts that “the residents generally are willing to accept any measure which will cause the fuel resources to be opened to development, so much so that the comparative advantages of a fee system, a leasing plan or government operation have almost ceased to be matters of discussion.” The governor reported a marked decrease in the population of the territory, attributing this condition to the falling off of placer mining in the interior and to indßLquate land laws. He also attacked what he called “the remarkable public calumnies about Alaska,” which he said have been spread broadcast by the press and have kept capital without its borders'.- and the failure of con- ‘ = veloping a virgin region. One of the ■ greatest needs of the territory, said the report, is the immediate enact?ijept of a modification of the general nVining law. Ehe action of congress in prohibthe killing of seals for a period of Vve years also came in for criticisiLUt the hands of the governor. He I stat'd that the fur seal was a polyga- | mouS animal, and that permission to kill lie bachelors of the herd on land iould in no way interfere with the gr&vth of the herds, while it would have aJded about $2,000,000 tq the’ annual of the territory.

THREE RAILROAD CHIEFS INDICTED Mellen, Chamberlin and Smithers Named by Federal Jury. SHERMAN LAW IS INVOKED All Defendants Are Charged With Conspiring to Monopolize and Restrain interstate and Foreign Commerce. Nevr York, Dec. 26. —Charles S. Mellen, president of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad; Edson J. Chamberlin, president of the Grand Trunk railway of Canada, and Alfred I W. Smithers, chairman of the board ! of directors of the Grand Trunk, were , Jointly indicted by the federal grand I jury in this city on Monday under the I Sherman anti-trust law. All three defendants are charged with conspiring to monopolize and restrain interstate and foreign commerce. The indictment is not based upon the proposed new traffic and trackage agreement between the Newr Haven and Grand Trunk, a copy of I which was turned over to Attorney I General Wickersham by President Mel- ; len with the intimation that in that document Was contained the sole ground upon which the government thought it could proceed against the two roads under the drastic Sherman lawr. Instead it is based upon secret documentary evidence obtained from the office files of both corporations bjr representatives of the department of justice. These documents show that as long ago as last August the chief executive heads of the two roads had begun to conspire to bring about a hard and |fast working arrangement whereby the Canadian corporation would completely withdraw from New England and leave the Mellen-Morgan monopoly in absolute enjoyment of that rich field. Neither President Mellen nor President Chamberlin, the former being in New Haven and the latter in this city, would make any comment upon the grand jury’s action when news of it was conveyed to them by reporters. No such high ranking or powerful railroad officials have ever before been called upon to face a criminal charge for violating the Sherman anti-trust law. Th penalty, if their guilt is established before a trial jury or if they shall plead guilty to thus avoid trial, isj a maximum fine of $5,000 or one year imprisonment or both fine and imprisonment.

IffITIMIONAL swsaiooi Lesson • (By E. O. SELLERS. Director of Evening Department The Moody Bible institute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR JANUARY 5. ; THE CREATION. I LESSON TEXT—Genesis 1:15. 7.9, 14 12. 16. 21. 25, 27. 31. GOLDEN TEXT—“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” : Geil. 1:1. In our scheme of lesons ire return to the Old Testament and confine our , study for the ensuing year to t'he first six books of the Bible. The word Genesis mea.ns “beginnings,” and in the book of that name : we see recorded all the information of the beginning of things that our j heavenly father deemed necessary in the development of the sctieme of redemption. ' After all the assaults of Its ene- i mies, itnd of the skeptics, the frat verse of the book of Genesis contains all the clear, concise, and positive i knowledge man possesses about the ! origin of this Universe. “God created,” not, “God is all and all is God.” | Pantheism has no ground upon which i to stand. “In the beginning God ere- i ated,” therefore he is above and was ! before the heaven and the earth. Moses left us no record of the “how” and that field has ever been one for interesting speculation. Between the fourth and the fifth wordst of this verse is ample room for all and every theory though we still remain In ignorance of any absolute knowledge, both of time and process. Let us not forget to emphasize the thought. “In the beginning God” in the beginning of childhood, the beginning bf education, of business, of home life, etc. The beginning of all right, thinking and true living, of every proper relation of life, is God and yet we are withholding that knowledge from young America upon the specious ! plea that the bible is sectarian. Truth of the Trinity. Following this statemen 1 : of the creation come the steps of rehabilitation, for the words in verse two denote waste, void, or confusion and one Hebrew scholar contends for the Word “ruin.” See also Isa.. 45:18 R. V. Tnus it seems that upon this created earth I there must have conje a judgment, j presumably upon some pre-Adamite > race aas *-»Uqw3, verse two. As not the original crea’.iLu u--1- ae steps whereby this earth was made j ready as a habitation for man. Lord Kelvin said, “scientific thought is compelled to accept the idea of creative power.” There is a wonderful agreement between modern science< and the account in Genesis; (1) The biblical accounts by their wording provide for both creation and the evolutionary development of created ; things; (2) Science has failed to pro- , duce matter, life, or the soul of man; > and of these in each Instance the bible says God\jreated while of all ■ else it says he made. The great truth of the trinity is revealed in these first three verses (1) God. v. 1; (2) Spirit, v. 2; and (3) ; “God said”—the word, see John 1:L Verse five does not call the light a ■ day meaning t-Gqplve hours, but rather - i a period of time; just vis we speak of an Arctic “day,” which 1 is six months. One of the mysteries of today is that water which Is 700 times heavier than air is held in the sky in the form of clouds. . What holds ths storm, rhe snow, the lightning, the gorgeous colors, etc.? The answer is found in verse 7. “and God made the firmament end divided the waters, and called the firmament heaven.” There is nothing more firm: than the laws which hold this body of water in the sky for he (God) set those la J's intc. motion. “And God said.” (v. 9). Theories of geology and the statement of Genesis agree perfectly as to the preparation of this earth for the appearance of vegetable life. The vegetable derives directly from the air and water and soil those elements necessary to maintain life. . Animal life cannot assimilate these elements unless they are abZady fixed in organic vegetable Hf^- - How and where life originated no science has discovered. Pasteur’s dictum that, “it is nothing but life which generates life.” still stands unshaken. And so the constant and only satisfactory answer to the questions, how, where and why, of all these things of this material universe is God. God created, God made, he created, and then set into being those forces and laws whereby the earth, the sky, the sun and the moon have gone on with unbroken regularity. He made possible those processes whereby man develops, the oak grows, and animal and vegetable life reproduce each after its own kind. But creation was not yet complete. Man, the last created, was the crowning glory of this Earthly creation. Verses 26-30 will be studied in connection with next vreek’s lesson and are referred to here simply to give a complete account of creation. It would be well, however, to refer to the fact that the great God and creator made provision for the immortal souls of mankind by arranging for his training in the knowledge and character of himself, the father, by the institution of the Sabbath, as soon as : he had prepared a place in which man was to dwell. The dignity and majesty of the language of Genesis is sublime. Astrologers tell us that our sun and solar system is only one of perhaps a million others. A recent writer tells us that a ray of light which would travel the equivalent of nine times around the earth in one second would take nine years to travel across tire great nebula in the constellation Orion. And “God made" all of this. “The fool hath said in his heart there is no God." and lit is the man next door to the fool who tries to stipulate what God ought or ought not io do.

AROUND THE CAMPaXI FIRE gpm SAD STORY OF GETTYSBURG While Colonel Is Leading Men by Encouraging Words He Stumbles on Dead Body of Son. A regiment, after advancing a skirmish line, moved over broken and boulderrstrewn ground to occupy a yet defended position. In front moved the colonel, half turned toward his men, encouraging them in a rich and hearty voice. “Come on, men’. Come on, come on! You are all good harvesters, and the grain is ripe, the grain is ripe! Run on, every mother’s son of you! Run now! just as though there were home and children up there! Come on! Come on!" The regiment reached a line of flat boulders. There was a large, flat one like an altar slab, that the colonel must spring upon and cross. Upon it, outstretched, face upward, in a pool of blood, lay a young figure, a lieutenant of skirmishers, .killed a quarter of ah hour ago. "Come on! Come on!” shouted the colonel, his face turned to his men. “Victory! Tonight we’ll write hiyne about victory!” His foot felt for the top edge of the boulder. He sprang upon it and faced with suddenness the young dead. The oncoming line saw him stand as if frozen, then with a stiff jerk up went the sword again. “Come on! Come on!" he cried, and plunging from the boulder continued to mount the desired slope. His men, close behind, him, also encountered the dead on the altar slab. “Good God! It’s Lieutenant . It’s his son!” But in front the colonel’s changed voice continued its crying, “Cdme on! Come on! Come on.’ ” —Mary Johnson in the Atlantic Magazine." Didn’t Tell It Right. The major of a regiment in Sigel’s command, taking a morning ride, met ■ some cavalry officers returning from I the picket line, and asked: “Vpll. j peys, vot’s de news by der front?” “It’s hot as blazes out there, major; shelling all along the line,’'Mjne of them answered. v “Shelling.

I “Why?” whined the lad. “He did ' have his arm—” “James,” said the father, “go straight j upstairs to bed!” The boy arose. He began to sry. As he leYt the room he said: “I don’t know what’s the matter tith you folks. I was only going to say he had his army uniform on—and he had, too!” The “Mudsill” Legislators. On our march to the sea we stopped at Milledgeville, the capital of Georgia. The legislature ha/I been in session, but that honorable body adjourned in a hurry upon the approach of Sherman’s army, and about 200 of •us took possession of the bouse of representatives, says a writer in the National Tribune. We elected a full set of officers and made laws governing everything. We passed a bill unanimously condemning the invading “Northern Mudsills” to death. After a “stormy” session we discussed whether it was best to move the Capitol on wheels or horseback. We concluded that the latter was safest, as it might in that manner be possible to escape from “Shermans bummers." We then voted thanks to everybody, from the president down, and ad,journed to meet when the invaders were driven from the “sacred soil/’ of Georgia. To Keep Him Down. When some officers were discussing Mr. Stanton’s impulsiveness. IjUr. Lincoln said: “Well, we may have to treat him as they were sometimes obliged to treat a Methodist minister I once knew out west.
