il RAILROADS OWN COAL SECURITIES Interstate Commission - So Informs Congress. WOULD MAKE IT ILLEGAL Recommends That Carriers Be Com pelled to Restrict Their Activities to Transportation Alone—Repori Asked for Seven Years Ago. ‘Washington, July 21.—Further dis #oclation of private business and rail Toads ‘was recommended to congress by the interstate commerce commis- slon as a result of an investigation, in response to a congressional resolu tion, Into the transportation of coal #nd oil. The commission recommend- ed that the commodities clause in the Hepburn rate law be extended to all trafile. The present clause makes it unlaw- ful for any railroad to transport any article, other than timber and coal. in which it may have any interest, ex: cept such articles as may be neces: sary for its use in the conduct of its business as a common carrier. The resolution in response to which the report was made was passed near- 1y seven years ago, but the commis slon delayed its report because of in- ability to get certain evidence from the New York Central. Owners of Coal Securities. The report sets forth a list of rail- roads owning bonds and stocks in coal companies. They included the North- western, St. Paul road, Illinois Cen- tral, Chicago, Rock Island and Pa- cific, llinois Traction company, Van- dalia, Chicago and Alton and Santa Fe. Officers of many other carrier com- panies are reported to be interested in coal properties. In view of the relation, particularly of industries and railways around St. Louis and the relation of the New York Central lines to coal properties in Illinois, the commission suggested “it is important that the public busi- ness of transportation should be clear- ly separated from private business and the railroads should be prohibit- ed from furnishing directly or indi- rectly capital or loans to private in dustries, and that the railroads should be prohibited from extending or using their credit for the benefit of private individuals or companies.” HOPES TO AVERT A STRIKE Mediation Board Takes Up Railroad 2 Wage Dispute. * ‘Chicago, July 21.—Hopes for a sat- isfactory adjustment of the wage dis- pute between the enginemen of the ‘Western railroads and their employ- ers took definite shape with the as- sembling of the federal -board of mediation, whose good offices have been accepted by both sides. William L. Chambers, chairman of the mediation board; Martin A. Knapp, federal judge, and G. W. W. Hanger, assistant commissioner of labor, rep- resent the government. The en- gineers are represented by their grand chief, Warren S. Stone, and the firemen and hostlers by W. S. Carter, president of their brotherhood. The managers’ committee of the ninety-efght roads involved is headed by A. W. Tremholm of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha road. The men’s demands are technical and lengthy. The men’s leaders have left the way open for a refusal to ar- bitrate, but the railroad operators de- clare they have strong hope that a strike may be averted. TO BE ERECTED IN NEW YORK Friends Plan Statue in Honor of Mme. Nordica. New York, July 21.—Friends of the late Mme. Nordica have enlisted the aid of prominent musicians and music lovers in a plan to erect a heroic statue of the diva in Central park. Should a statue to Madame Nordica be erected it will be the only one of a woman- in a park in New York and, according to a recent investigator, one of three women in the United States. Mrs. Henry Payne Whitney, it is un- derstood, will be asked to design the statue. DISCARDED HUSBAND KILLS Wife, Mother-in-Law and Himself the Victims. Springfield, 111, July 21.—Mrs. Nolla Jerdes, eighteen years old, a bride of six months, was shot and killed by her husband, Charles Jerdes, at the home of her parents, three miles east of Edinburg, Christian county. Jerdes | then mortally wounded his molher-! fnlaw, Mrs. Frank Gardner, and turn-| ed the weapon upon himself, inflict- ing a ‘wound in the temple which! probably will cause his death.

IS FIRST WITNESS CALLED Wife of Former French Premier Re- cites the Events Leading Up to the Shooting of Gaston Calmette, EdI- tor of the Figaro. 3 Paris, July 21.—Weeping as the court clerk read the indictment, and with eyes scanning the crowded courtroom as if looking for a friendly face, Mme. Henrletta Caillaux, wife of the former French premier and minister of finance, was placed on trial for the murder on March 16 of Caston Calmette, editor of the Figaro. She was arraigned in the palace of justice, with Judge Louis Albanel act- ing as president of the court. The only women present in court were two women barristers and sev- eral witnesses. The rest of the space was occupied by 147 reporters, twen- ty artists, seventy-five witnesses, about fifty -barristers and possibly as many more republican guards, detec- tives and petty court officers. Upon the table in front of the judges was a large brown paper pack- age, containing the pistol with which Calmette was shot. Mme. Caillaux shook with sobs and used her handkerchief. Mme. Caillaux First Witness. After the witnesses had been sworn Mme. Caillaux, who had recovered her composure, was called to the stand and Judge Albanel questioned her. The prisoner then made a long statement, referring frequently to notes. “I was married at nineteen to Leo Claretie. A divorce was granted in April, 1908, in my favor, and the guardianship of our daughter was giv- en to me.” Madame Caillaux spoke with pride of her marriage to M. Caillaux. She said: “M. Caillaux was premier and in marrying him I found complete hap- piness until my life began to be poi- soned by calumnies. The campaign of the Figaro against my husband be- gan. All the people in the salons that I frequented received me with smiles that were intended to wound me. These slanderous rumors penetrat- ed every part of society. I was no longer able to go to sittings of the chamber of deputies because I was the object of unpleasant attention in the galleries. Figaro’s Attacks Not Political. placable. They had nothing to do with politics. They were personal. I suffered. I lost my head.” Madame Caillaux’s voice sank and she seemed greatly moved. The judge waited a moment and then inquired: the polemic of the Figaro had nothing to do with politics?” The prisoner raised her clenched hands and said passionately: “I will tell you why.” She then searched among her notes and began to read passages from the Figaro articles. “These,” she shouted, “are some among the 138 articles published against my husband. These criticisms are not attacks upon his politics, but upon him. No one could be mis- taken.” Several times the prisoner paused and excused herself for the amount of time she was talking. The constitutionality of the law providing that employers advertising for workers in time of strike shall state that fact, has been upheld by the supreme judicial court of Mas- sachuetts.

Dewitt Cuyler, all di- rectors of the road, conferred with At- torney General McReynolds and As- sistant Attorney General Gregory in the hope of reaching an agreement for the dissolution of the New Haven merger. without an anti-trust suit. The. directors refused to make.any. statement when they went into con- ference with the attorney general. Attorney General McReynolds was ready to accept any proposal in sym- pathy with the agreement made some time ago for a peaceful dissolu- tion of the New Haven, but he was not likely to consent to anything else. After an hour’s conference the New Haven directors left the department to confer among themselves while the attorney general took under advise- ment their proposals. It was understood that the directors had not changed their position in re- gard to the disposition of the Boston. and Maine stock owned by the New Haven, which has proved a stumbling block to a settlement. They were said to have suggested that the ques- tion of the Boston and Maine disposi- tion be held in abeyance for the time being, with the idea that the legisla- ture of Massachusetts, which has im- posed a condition on the sale of the stock, may remove the condition at some future session.
