m.OOO He Says was Paid in Elackmail—Inquiry Into Big Four Embezzlement. ’ George 1. Allen of Middletown, | whose receptive attitude towards an appointment to'the raflroad commis- sion has been noted, has written the .fsollowlng letter to the Middletown un: “As is now quite publicly known, some of my good friends in Middle- town and elsewhere in the state have recommended to Governor Weeks my appointment to the ition on the board of railroad commissioners re- cently made vacant by the death of‘the Hof, O. R. Fyler, While I cannot say that such kind-hearted aetion on their part was exactly against my wishes, for the office of railroad commission- r is one which any man in Connec- ticut may be proud to hold, yet I do say that these well meaning friends ©0 kit uponthemselves t cmfwyetm took it upon themselves to advance my name and interests without con- @ulting me and without calculating the probabilities of success. And so, not altogether knowing their names or number, I take this means to thank them and also to assure them, even as I am assured, that in making this choice, upon whomsoever it may ulti- mately fall, Governor Weeks will be actuated by a mind single to the best interests of his state. “GEORGE 1. ALLEN." College Fraternities. President Faunce of Brown univer- sity, in a recent address in this city {0 a large group of college fraternity ‘men, intimated that ere lorg an im- Pportant conference of the responsi- wle officials of more than twenty of the ieading college fraternities of the‘ country was to be held to devise ways | m ©f meeting and satisfying the rapidly increasing criticism of those organ- szations which is finding expression among popular educators. The an- mouncement that a Wellesley chapter of one of the sororities, which flourish mmong American college women, pro- es to meet the conceded shortcom- gs and distracting influences of this ran rm of collegiate life by disbanding, serves to center public opinion. For it is an issue that is dividing the = demic world from university to high school, and that very seriously affects the future of education. The effort to deal with the matter in asadical way, ‘as proposed by President Wilson of Princeton, taught him, as it will teach others, that there are sentimentai and pecuniary aspects of the matter that cannot be ignored. On the other hand, no educational policy can be main- tained which, in the long’run, permits to grow up within the school or the college a force that declines to be «controlled and that works against ‘complete democracy and efficient teaching service of the students.—Bos- ton Herald. tor Charles Dick. At the same time, he made the statement that he had known of the shortage for the last ten years. ~ The first result of the publication of the letters of Mrs. Jeannette Ford, “the woman in the case,” occurred to- day when Judge Woodmansee of the common pleas court, of his own initia- tive, summoned Mrs, Ford's attorney and told him that the woman’s bond should be raised. The judge degjared that the developments of the last few Cincinnati, 0., Dec. 2.—More than half of the $643,000 which Charles L. Wi er, former ;local. treasurer of the Big Four railroad, admits was stolen from the railroad, cannot be ac- counted for. The indicted treasurer | has finished a statement' which ac- counts for $318,000—$84,000 of which he says was paid in blackmail, and he declares that the halance of §325,000 was lost in speculation. The inguiries by the railroad officials, detectives and lawyers have completely failed, how- ever, to substantiate this explanation. According to Warriner, he carried on his ~stock _market operations through the New York brokerage firm of Henry Clews & Co., but an exami- nation of the books of that concern, it is sald, show that in the entire course of his transactions with it he | could not have lost more than $17,000. The grand jury will resume its in- quiry into the case tomorrow and a subpoena has been issued for Frank M. Couden, the federal official who claims to have given the New York Central authorities their first knowl- edge of the embezzlement. Incident- ally, Mr. Couden declared today that the sole motive for his action was “gommercial.” He claims to have been premised a reward which he has not yet received. Mr. Couden would not say what amount he expected to receive as a ye- ward for his information. He declar- ed that the matter was in the hands of his attorney, United States Sena- GOLD DUST Cleans Everything and Injures Nothing The beauty of GOLD DUST is thatit cleanses thoroughly without the least danger of injury.

GENUINE CASTORIA Bears the Signature of Letters from Prominent Physicians Addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher. Dr. W. L. Leister, of Rogers, Ark., says : ‘‘ As a practicing phy- sician I use Castoria and like it very much.” Dr. W. T, Seeley, of Arity, N. Y., says: “T have used your Cas- toria for several jears in my practice and have found it a safe and =eliable remedy.” Or. Raymond M. Evarts, of Santa Ynez, Cal., says : *‘After using your Castoria for children for years it annoys me greatly to have an ignorant druggist substitute some- thing else, especially to the pa- tient’s disadvantage, as in this case. 1 enclose herewith the wrapper of the imitation.” Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says : ‘“ Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary prepa- rations, but in the case of Castoria my experienoe, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice be- cause I have found it to be a thor- oughly reliable remedy for chil- dren’s complaints. Any physician who has raised a family, as I have, ‘will join me in heartiest recom- mendation of Castoria.” Dr. W, F. Wallace, of Bradford, N. H., says: “I use your Castoria in my practice. and in my family.” Or. Wm. I. McCann of Omaha, Neb., says : ** As the father of thir- teen children I certainly know something about your great medi- cine and aside from my own family experience, Ishave, in my years of practice, found Castoria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home.” Dr. Howard James, of New York, City, says : ““ It is with great pleas- ure that I desire to testify to the medicinal virtue of your Castoria. 1 have used it with marked benefit in the case of my own daughter, and have obtained excellent results from its administration to other children in my practice.” Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadel- phia, Pa., says : ‘“The name that your Castoria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorsement of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excellent remedy.” Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chica- go, IIL, says : “T have prescribed your Castoria often for infants during my practice and find it very satisfactory.” Dr. William Belmont, of Cleve- land, Ohio, says : “ Your Castoria stands first in its class. In my thirty years of practice I can say [ never have found anything that so filled the place.” Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says : I prescribe your Cas- toria extensively as I have never found anything to equal it for chil- dren’s troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but 1 always see that my patients get Fletcher’s.” Dr. Channing H. Cook, of Saint Louis, Mo., says: “I have used your Castoria for several years past in my own family and have always found it thoroughly efficient and never objected to by children, which is a great consideration in view of the fact that most medi- cines of this character are obnox- ious and therefore difficult of ad- ministration. As a laxative I consider it the peer of anything chat I ever prescribed.” Dr. L. O. Morgan, of 80. Amboy, N. J, says: “I prescribe your Casto- ria every day for children who are suffering from constipation, with betger effect than I receive from any other combination of drugs.” Dr. H. J. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: ‘I have used your Casto- ria and found it am exocellent remedy in my household and priv- ate practice for many years. The formula is excellent.” Dr. Wm. L. Bosserman, of Buf- falo, N. Y., says: “I am pleased to speak a good word for your Casto- ria. I think so highly of it that I not only recommend it to others, but have used it in my own family.” Dr. F. H. Kyle, of St. Paul, Minn., says: “It affords me plea- sure to add my name to the long list of those who have used and now endorse your Castoria. The fact of the ingredients being known through the printing of the formula on the wrapper is one good and sufficient reason for the recom- mendasion of any physician. I know of its good qualities and re- commend it cheerfully.” ASK YOUR PHYSICIAN
