Clerk Kocked Unconscious by Blow on Head With an Iron Pipe From One of Hit Accomplices After He Had Placed the Express Packages Where They Could Get Them Easily. Christmas Generosity to a Girl Proved His Undoing. The mysterious $14,000 robbery at the office of the Canadian Express Co. at Niagara Falls, Ont., on the after noon of Nov. 4 has been cleared up by the confession of William Dobson, the clerk who wag assaulted by the rob bers, tothe effect that he, together with Charles J. Flynn, who runs a saloon in North Main street, Niagara Falls, I Y., and Purl S. Whistler of Pierce avenue, aud two other men whose Identity he does not know, planned the whole affair and got the money, $14,169.08 In all. Dobson, Flynn and Whistler are under arrest. Dobson's desire to do something handsome at Christmas for a young woman with whom he had been keep ing company led to his undoing. He had been under surveillance for a month' past, the Surety Company of North America, his bondsman, having put officers of the Thlel detective agen cy of Montreal on the case when call ed upon to make good the amount of the robbery. Superintendent Carrlngton of this agency, suspected Dobson, despite the fact that the assault upon him made him appear an Innocent party. He learned that Pohson received but $50 a month, and when he found him send ing drafts to England for large amounts and purchasing $250 mink furs he accuse! him directly of the robbery and Dobson broke down and confessed. He said the affair had been planned by Flynn, Whistler, once a United States Express messenger, and him self, in Flynn's saloon on Oct. 15, when he was telling thorn of the large amounts of currency dally shipped to Toronto and Montreal. Flynn pro posed that Dobson notify him when a particularly heavy shipment was to be sent, and he would see to the rest. Flynn engaged the two men, and when he received the word Whistler drove these men across the river to the Canadian Express company's of fice. Dobson made the Job easy for them, and when they camo into the office he turned his back, expecting a light tap an the head. Instead, the robbers used a heavy piece of iron pipe and felled him unconscious to the floor, after which they made off with the money. The seriousness of the as sault on Dobson Is what saved him from suspicion for so long a time. Flynn was arraigned here and, waiv ing examination, was held for the grand Jury. MUST KEEP CARS WARM President of Cincinnati Traction Com pany Indicted on Four Counts. . W. Kesley Schoepf, president of the Traction company, Cincinnati's street railway, was Indicted by the Hamil ton county grand jury for failure to keep the ""street cars warm. The in dictment contains four counts, each charging a separate offende. It Is al leged that he has knowingly failed and refused to comply with the state law which requires that each car operated In Ohio shall have the motorman's vestibule kept at a temperature of not leBs than 60 degrees. Schoepf's Indictment follows close upon the Indictment of President Ern est cf the over the river traction lines on the same charge. Ernest pleaded guilty and paid a heavy fine and at the same time he promised In open court to comply with the provisions of the law In the future. AMERICANS IN CANADA Some 91,000 Went North to Settle the Past Year. Due in a large extent to the American invasion, Winnipeg and Western Canada have Just conclud ed the most prosperous year recorded In their history. In the last twelve months some 91,000 Americans have come north to settle, each bringing his quota of cash, farm stock and Im plements. This Is another-rocord for Immigration from the south. In Winnipeg the bank clearings for 1909 were $770,649,332, an Increase of 23.50 per cent over the figures of 1908. In 1904 the total clearings were $294, 601,437, and bankers predict they will amount to over $500,000,000 for the present year. The customs returns for the five months of the present fis cal year exceed the whole of the last fiscal year. Permits were issued for buildings to cost $8,235,000 in Winni peg. ' Operators Not to Strike. There will be no strike of tel egraphers on the Big Four railroad.

It is understood that the compro mise effected contemplates that a Joint commission shall take up the sched ule station by station and where in creased traffic, accompanied by In creased work is shown, a commen surate increase In the pay of that sta tion will be made. UNINSPECTED MEAT Dr. Melvln 8ays Half of That Consum ed Is In That Class. A law authorizing federal inspection of dairy products entering Interstate trade and the necessity for state and municipal inspection of meat and meal products, as a further measure of protection for the public health, are two subjects discussed at length in the annual report of Dr. A. D. Mel vln, chief of the bur of animal in dustry in the department of agricul ture. Dr. Melvln says that the federal meat Inspection law, which applies only to products entering interstate trade, has proved effective, but he says there Is a real and serious dan ger to the public from uninspected meat, and almost naif of the meat consumed In the United States comes within that class. Dr. Melvln declares that uninspect ed meat is sold within states and municipalities and that the federal government therefore has no Juris diction over It. He continues: "Fed eral authority does not reach the bus ness done directly within the state nd the people must look to tbelr state and 4cal authorities to protect them from that source. The result of the federal inspection is to cause the diversion of diseased and suspic ious looking animals to the uninspect ed establishments where they are slaughtered for the local market." Dr. Melvln strongly urges federal in spection of dairy products and the an imals from which they are obtained. He asseru that the danger of con tracting disease from such products Is greater than from meat. "Pure milk, cream and butter are almost universally used and are usually con sumed in the raw state." CORPORATION HAS A SOUL Defendant's Plea to the Contrary Over ruled by Juatice Teall. The appellate division of the su preme court at New York affirmed the conviction and $500 fine of the Star company, publisher of the New York American, for publishing a libel accusing John G. Rockefeller, Jr., of "peonage." The defendant complain ed that its challenge to one of the Jurors was improperly overruled. Justice Scott says that the Juror's chief defect appeared to be "that he was too intelligent and conscientious." The juror said he was prejudiced against the Hearst newspaper. The other contention on which the defendant based its appeal was that "being a corporation having neither soul, conscience, mind nor feeling, it Is Incapabie of entertaining a mis chievous and malicious Intent which is essential element In criminal libel." Justice Teall says it was generally considered at one time that a corpor ation was incapable of committing a crime, but that by "slow degrees and following upon the extension of the practice of organizing corporations for the purpose of avoiding the penal ties of illegal acts, the courts have reached a different conclusion. We find no difficulty therefore in holding that a corporation may be indicted for and convicted of criminal libel, the evil Intent of Its agent being attributed to it." STATE GAME FARM Ready to Supply Eggs For Hatching on Application Without Cost. The state game farm located near Sherburne, N. Y., will have In charge the distribution of eggs for batching, which will be placed In the hands of farmers and others who make formal application for them without cost to the Individuals. Application for eggs should be made direct to the game commissioner at Albany and not to the manager of the gamo farm. A feature of the distribu tion of these eggs which will probably start some controversies is that the commission is somewhat averse to placing the eggs on posted grounds. In other words farmers who apply will probably be asked the question: "Have you posted your farm." The commission favors the hunters In this manner believing that they are en titled to the first show Inasmuch as it Is the proceeds of the hunters' licenses that is largely carrying on the work. The pheasants, which will be the principal output of the game farm, are a home bird and quite hardy. They will stay on the farm where they are raised and need not be fed, as they procure their own food. An old pheasant will raise two broods of some 20 to 25 birds a year. They are insect destroyers and farm ers will be Interested to know that their favorite food Is the potato bug. The request for the eggs should be placed at once. WEAVER QUITS POLITICS Announces That He Will Hereafter Devote Himself to Divine Healing. General James B. Weaver, veteran campaigner for Greenbackism, Popul Ism and Inter for Bryanlsm, bad adieu to politics last week at De Moines and announced that for his few remaining years he wouldlead a crusade In behalf of divine healing, General Weaver once headed the Greenback ticket for president and pnee the Populist ticket for the same qfnee arid his voice has been heard on the stump In every state In the Union. Today he admitted that his eyes have been opened to truths far more Inspiring than can be found In polit ical platforms, namely, that Christ meant what he said when he promised that the prayer of faith should save the sick. rni SaidtoHaveBeenFoundatRein deer Lake In Arctic Circle. Father Turquetlt, a Missionary In Northern Saskatchewan, Heard Story of "a Large White House Covered With Ropes Which Fell From the Heavens" Eskimoa Said That the Three White Men Died Shortly After They Descended Priest Thinks They Were Murdered. Prince Albert, Can., Jan. 4. His Lordship Bishop Pascal of the Roman Catholic church today announced that be had several official dispatches from Rev. Father Turquetlt, missionary for Northern Saskatchewan and McKen zie river districts, about the finding of Andree's balloon, 900 miles north of here, near Reindeer Lake in the Arc tic circle, by Eskimos and Indians. Many are of the opinion that the "large white house covered with ropes which fell from the heavens," as de scribed by the Indians, is the balloon in which Andree, accompanied by Dr. Strinberg and Herr Fraenckel, sailed when they left in quest of the pole over twelve years ago. Father Turquetlt speaks Cree, Chip pewa and Blackfoot fluently, and readily understands the Eskimo lan guage. He is stationed in the1 far north. At Reindeer Lake there is a settlement which is almost entirely in habited by Chippewa IndlanB, but there are some Eskimos there also. Father Turquetlt, on his recent visit to Reindeer Lake, carried a small revolver and through its agency he learned about the balloon. An Es kimo said when the revolver was ex hibited by Father Turquetlt "that looks like the thing that white man had." Father Turquetit and his party were then told about "a white house that had fallen from the sky, covered with ropes aud containing three white men." The Esklmas pointed out where the house had fallen, adding that the men, who were hungry, had died shortly after their arrival. The Eskimos all the time appeared to be hiding some thing. Father Turquetlt in relating his story said that he was of the opinion that the white men bad shot some deer or other animal after they had arrived and the Indians, becoming an gry, killed them, as the natives claim all animals in their reserves. CURTISS CO. ENJOINED Judge Hazel Grants Temporary Injunc tion In Airship Suit Buffalo, Dec. 3. Judge Hazel in U. S. circuit court handed down a de cision upon the motion of the Wright company for a tempory injunction re straining the Herrlng-Curtlss company and Glen H. Curtlss from manufactur ing flying machines, as an Infringe ment upon patents held by the plain tiff corporation. The plaintiff com pany thus wins the first victory in what is expected to be a long and hard fought legal battle. The patentees claimed to be Invent ors of what Is commonly known as a heavier than air flying machine. Such machines are sustained In their aerial movements by either one or two planes, which travel through the air in a forward, ascending or descending course at an angle of incidence, and may be driven or propelled by mechan ical power or force of gravity.

BENZ0ATE OF SODA Suit to Test State's Right to Prohibit Its Use at a Preservative. Indianapolis, Jan. 4. The case of William Brothers company of Detroit, ptcklera and preservers, and Curtice Brothers compnny of Rochester, N. Y., manufacturers of catsup, against H. E. Barnard, state, food and drug commissioner, and the state board of health came up today before Edward Daniels, master in chancery in the fed eral court, who will hear evidence in the case. The complainants seek to enjoin the defendant from enforcing against them the rule of the state board against the bale of foodstuffs in which benzoate of soda is used as a preservative. The case is regarded as of great import ance throughout the country as being In effect a test case. It is said that at present thirteen states have laws opposing the use of benzoate of soda in food products as a preservative. The complainants attack the con stitutionality of the law under which the orders of the state board were made, and also deny the contentions of the state board that benzoate of soda was harmful and a deleterious substance. Victor J. Chambers of Rochester, N. Y., professor of chemistry for the Uni versity of Rochester, gave testimony for the complainants. He told of his training and of the experiences he had had in organic chemistry. He said that he had experimented with various methods of keeping tomato pulp from fermentation, and In response to a question he said that pulp made from bad tomatoes, after proper boiling and sterilizing, was easier to preserve than pulp made from fresh tomatoes. He explained that in spoiling cer tain properties were created that tend ed to deter further fermentation. He said that he had inspected the work at the Curtice plant and had seen only good tomatoes used, and describ ed In considerable detail the methods employed there In making catsup. He told of experiments he had conducted with preservatives, including acetic acid, acetic acid used with salt and with spices, and benzoate of soda. FEDERAL INCOME TAX Indications That New York Leglsla ture Will Oppose the Proposition. Albany, Jan. 4. The indications are that the federal administration's Income tax proposition would meet with decided opposition in the state legislature. It undoubtedly will be made a party question by caucus ac tion when it comes squarely in the legislature. It was apparent from talks had with the most Influential members of the legislature who usuallly guide its de liberations that they are opposed to New York state endorsing the proposi tion. There was much speculation whether Governor Hughes was going to take a position on this matter In his annual message to the legislature. Senator Jothan P. Allds, up to the time he left Albany for New York, expected to be named as president pro tem. of the senate and Republican leader of the upper branch of the leg islature, to succeed the late Senator Jorn Raines. Mr. Allds expected to see State Chairman Woodruff in New York. FEARS FOR HIS FAMILY Dr. Castrillo Asks Help of the State Department. Washington, Jan. 4.

The state department will instruct Mr. Caldera to make a report on the subject.

T0NG WAR IN NEW YORK Notice Posted Declaring For Ven geance on the On Leong Tong. New York, Jan. 4. The Little Hock Kuh boys scampered through the streets of Chinatown this morning pasting long yellow and red slips of paper on available walls as if they were pasting notices of a circus com ing to the quarter. But before each slip was dry a crowd of five or sis Chinese gathered about it, nudging each other and chattering in . short snappy sentences. The translation of the most import ant of these slips Is this: "All the companies and Tongs In Chinatown, namely the Four Brotherhood so ciety, the Hip Sing Tong and all the minor families in that neighborhood, have openly declared war against the great On Leong Tong. Not so many days ago members of the On Leong Tong crept up to the rooms of two old men, the two oldest men In the Four Brotherhood society, and mur dered them In cold blood." There appears to be very little doubt that there will be a "big fight" soon. The posters are pasted all over the quarter and every Chinaman reads those posters religiously as each one appears and goes and tells his friends about them for fear he might not have seen them. 26-INCH WATER MAIN BURST For Nearly an Hour Geyser of Water Sftot 25 Feet tn the Air. Boston, Jan. 4. The 26-Inch water main running beneath Tremont street burst at about 6:30 o'clock last night near the corner of Tremont and Hol 11s streets, and for nearly an hour a geyser of water shot 25 feet into the air and caused a flood In the neigh boring thoroughfares. Two theaters, the .Majestic on Tremont street and the Globe on Washington street, an eighth of a mile away, were put out of business by the flow of water into the cellars and both houses were obliged to cancel tbelr scheduled per formances for the night. The water flowed north down Tre mont street, where the break occurred, thence down Elliot street to Washing ton street, there being a solid river, three feet deep In places, from build ing to building. Many of the cellars of stores and business houses were filled. Furnace fires were extinguish ed and goods in storage considerably damaged. Hundreds of pedestrians were ma rooned in doorways for upward of two hours until the water settled from the sidewalks, and the surface trolleys in the floodod district were obliged to take roundabout routes. Tremont street from Hollls to Elliot was undermined and it is thought that the foundations of some of the buildings In the immediate vicinity were damaged.
