“THERE COULD BE NO MONEY TRUST” (Continued on last page). But the show of spirit was fleet- ing. Generally a low but distinct monotone marked his answers. “I don’t know,” and *“I don’t remem- ber,” were frequent responses. Often Morgan leaned far over in his chair, | ‘gazing directly into Untermeyer’s eyes, as he made plain a point. His eyes snapped when he declared that he “voluntarily offered securities to the public,” and did not force them upon buyers. Again with twinkling eyes, he told how some of his stock issues had not been highly successful, “but they were few,” he admitted. Morgan’s voice was husky. He vigorously denied, however, that hel- felt tired. But the appearance of weariness grew particularly strong when he told how his health had compelled him to remain abroad for ofur or five months each year. To the observer who had seen Morgan testify at previous public hearings one impression dominated the examination of the magnate— that, after a life of spectacular triumph, he was bowing to the great- est conqueror of all—age. It was J. P. Morgan, an old man, a living history of achievements, surrounded by careful guardians, who faced the money trust investiga- tors—not J. Pierpont Morgan, the financier. ! RUMOR SAYS LA PORTE WOMAN MURDER IS NOW IN CANADA La Porte, Ind., Dec. 20.—Informa- tion that Mrs. Belle Gunness, on whose “murder farm” near here in 1908, thirteen bodies were found, is believed to be at Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, was received Wednesday by Chief of Police Meinke in a telegram sent \py Frederick Wise. A lwoman answering the descrip- tion 9f Mrs. Gunness has been under surveilliance for several hours. The The local police were requested to send.a man to complete the identifi- cation. The statement of George Meyers, a convict, that Ray Lamp- seer, who was employed by Mrs. Gun- ness, had said that the body of a Chi- cago woman was placed in the Gun- ness home to create the impression that the owner of the farm was burn-| ed to death, has caused the revival| of many old theories. A number of telegrams and lettersi ‘have been received by the police de- partment. Chief Meinke believes that Mrs. Gunness is alive. Attorney Worden, who defended Lampseer, when he was tried for ar- son, declares he has evidence, which he is guarding, that is more sensa- tional than that given by Meyers. Meyers says he knows the name of the man who drove Mrs. Gunness in an automobile from her home in Chi-| cago, Lut refuses to give it to the au- thorities. Meyers, who has been out on parole, has been returned to pri-! son. i FAMOUS TRAMP DEAD. On Dec. | a morning paper an- nouiiced under large headlines that, “*A-No. 1,” the famous tramp, was in the city, and published his picture.‘ together with an interview. If that were the fact, it must have been the ghost of the noted wanderer for “A- No. 1" was killed near New Orleans on Sept. 26, when he fell from aj Southern Pacific passenger train, on| which he was stealing a ride. The! Railroad Man’s magazine for January contains an interesting account of his life. ! =A-No. 1" was, without doubt, it is| said, the most remarkable of all “ho-, boes,” if he might at all Le classed with them. He had the wanderlust badly but was regarded as a mission- ary among young men and boys, who, thinking that the life of a tramp is| romantic, had run away from home. It is claimed that he has turned hun-; dreds of these from the tramp life; and has caused them to become use- ful citizens. He became so well; known and honored among railroad men, according to the Railroad Man’s magazine, that they would never molest him, and railroad detectives— and it is said he knew almost every! one in the United States—encouraged his traveling, for he was regarded as a help in inducing young men to re- frain from “bumming it” for “bums” are the bane of railroad detectives. “A-No. 1” was a man of refinement and was well educated and, it is said, remarkably well red. He was forty years of age and had been on the road since his eleventh year. He was killed on the road that marked the beginning of his career as a tramp. Nobody ever learned his name for he called himself always “A-No. 1”. He has published many stories and two of his books have had a large sale. They are “Life and Adventures of ‘A- No. 1’,” and “Hobo Campfire Tales.” Another book will soon be published| it is called “The Curse of Tramp Life,” and is aimed to depict strongly | ‘ton, poet, newspaper man and lec- {will have ome hour and a quarter. : will be used for rebuttal.

Years ago he purchased a grave in the cemetery at Cambridge Springs, Pa., and there his body rests beneath a stone on which is engraved an epitaph of his own composition. “A-No, 1, the Rambler, at Rest at Last.” WILL CARLETON, FAMOUS POET AND NEWSPAPER MAN DEAD New York, Dec. 20.—Will Carle- turer, died at his home in Brooklyn of pneumonia, after a short illness. Mr. Carleton was born in Hudson, Mich., in 1845. He attended Hills- dale college, Mich., and during his junior year wrote a political poem entitled “Fax,” which he delivered at a town meeting and won local fame which soon gained for him a place as a lyceum speaker. In 1870 he be- came editor of the Detroit Tribune and a year later published his first book of poems. “Over the Hill to the Poorhouse,” was the best known of his earlier works. In 1884, Mr. Carleton moved to Brooklyn, and for a number of years ne has been editor of an illus- trated magazine. From 1873 to 1896 he wrote many poems of farm and city life and traveled extensively as a lecturer. Mr. Carleton was married in 1881 to Miss Adora N. Lyles.

D., Dec. 20.—Fargo vot- ers are clamoring for a chance to adopt the commission form of gov- ernment. Three and a half years ago they spurned it, not because of their opposition to its principles, but be- cause of the unsatisfactory law at that time. Two years ago the legis- lature made some improvement in the law and the coming session is ex- pected. to make more necessary changes. . The recent scandals in Fargo offic- ial circles leading to the resignation of one alderman, the filing official charges against Chief of Police Keefe and open charges in a council meet- ing against fvmyor’ Sweet by one of the members, has augmented the de- sire of the people of Fargo for a change. Under the existing law’ the com- mission plan cannot be voted upon oftener than every four years. The time limit will expire in Fargo in in July. It is anticipated little time will be lost after that itill a change The present administration has been marked by especial bitterness. councilmen are opposed to him, per- sonally, politically and otherwise.

In some cases it is weakened beyond recovery and dies. This, then, is a good and sufficient reason why spraying should not be 'postponed till spring, but there are further reasons of weigth. One of these is that the sheli of the scale is softer in the fall, for it grows harder through the winter, and consequently is more susceptible to the action of the various sprays. Fall spraying ls'v more thorough and effective.than in! the spring. A greater per cent of scale will be killed and the same wrok will have better results, There are other reasons of lesser | importance, such as the fact that the| weather is more propitious in, say November, than in windy and change- able March. Freedom from high winds generally prevails in the fall. The ground is firmer and will permit the passage of wagon or sled. In the spring the soil is often wet and miry for weeks at a time.—(Farm and Home.) Recreation for the Rich. Let. us give credit where it is due. You can: not think that the devotion of surplus: wealth to the acquisition of works of: art deserves condemnation. On the contrary, it deserves praise and recognition—don’'t you think so? Keen business men require recreation. All brain workers want coumnter irrita- tion. Pictures, books, old china and entiquities generally furnish the rec- essary relaxation, hence the collection | of them has become the fashion in the United States, a- fashion so attrac- tive that in the buying of them the American must hustle, as in his busi- ness, if he wants “to get there,” 2nd the almighty dollar talks—London Opinion. it 1s Al Made Plain. “Gertrude says no man has ever sisged her.” “I have often wondered why she showed such a decided preference for weather, it continues to draw nour- open to the public.
