RDDSEVELTATASSUAM Was Enthusiastic Over Dam and Its Expected Results. At the Cataract Hotel the Ex-Presl- dent Met a Large Number of Ameri cansColonel Roosevelt Said to Look Markedly Younger Than He Did a Year Ago His Present Inten tion Is to Ball From Southampton For New York on June 10. The steamer on which Colonel Roose relt and the members of his party are traveling reached Shallal early Sun day morning. AH those aboard were astir early, and by about 8 o'clock Col onel Roosevelt was addressing a depu tation of native officers, who were In troduced by the assistant director of the state railway. With much vigor and emphasis Colonel Roosevelt re peated to thorn what he had said to the Egyptian officers at Khartoum, warning them against mixing In pol itics. Breakfast followed, after which the party aboard of a launch started for Philns. The submersion of the beau tiful temple on the island as the re sult of fie barrage of the Nile by the Assouan dam, caused aesthetic regret, although the material advantages ob tained thereby were well understood. The dam itself was next visited. Colonel Roosevelt was enthusiastic over its conception and expectation. lie poured innumerable questions at Engineer McCorquodale who clceroned the party, and discussed the irriga tion problem with keen interest. The party on reboarding the launch steam ed through the first cataract to As souan, where they landed and took lunch at the Cataract hotel. Here Colonel Roosevelt met the first considerable number of his fel low citizens since he entered Africa. There was quite a crowd of Ameri can tourists gathered to greet him and the lunchtlme was very lively. The Americans said that Colonel Roosevelt looked markedly younger than he did a year ago. He has lost his wrinkles and his step was more clastic There was another river trip after lunch which gave the party an oppor tunity to visit some of the rock tombs, which are numerous hereabouts. The heat was extreme, hut Colonel Roose velt did not seem to suffer. Tho launch steamed to Shallal lifter the tombs were Inspected and there the party slept at night, starting for Luxor in the morning. It is the present Intention of Col onel Roosevelt to sail from Southamp ton for New York on the steamer Kalserin Augusta on June 10. MONKS RETAIN TRADE MARK Chartreuse Appeal Case Dismissed by Highest Tribunal In England. The lords of appeal of the house of lords, which is the highest court in Great Bri'ain, unanimously dismissed what Is known as the Chartreuse ap peal case. The question was whether the appellants, M. Lecoutrier, the French liquidator who had charge of the property of the Carthusian monks who manufactured this liquor, and the company which succeeded him, were entitled to a trade mark so far as the United Kingdom was concerned. In the first Instance this claim was upheld, but the appeal court reversed the decision of the lower court. The case was then carried to the house of lords, and now the lord chancellor has finally decided that the Carthus ian monks, who were expelled from France under the law of associations, carried with them the secret of the manufacture of the liquor and that the sale of their property by the French liquidator did not include the trade marks. SCHOOL WITH ONE PUPIL Teacher Is the Boy's Mother and She Receives $9 a Week. At a section known as Mormon Hol low in the town of Masonvllle, Dela ware county. N. Y., there is the most unique school in the state. It Is composed of only one scholar, who is the child of the teacher, Mrs. Baxter. The teacher receives $9 per week for her services and the school is regular ly maintained as though there were dozens of scholars to be instructed. There were large numbers of schol ars connected with the school at one time, but they have either die, grown to manhood and womanhood or moved away. The old schoolhouse which did duty as the seat of learning for many years is now such a dilapidated struct uer as to be unfit for school purposes and the school is held in a private dwelling, which is also the abode of the teacher and scholar. VILLAGE ELECTIONS Two Rockribbed Republican Commun ities Went Democratic. The village elections in a number of chartered communities in Central New York during last week have shown large Democrat ic gainH. Dolgeville went Democratic for the first time in five years and the vil lage of Herkimer, a Republican strong hold, also lined up with the Demo crats. Gouverneur and Canaatota, rockribbed Republican communities, elected Democrats. The Democrats look upon the vil lage elections results as more than a ggd omen. STILL THE SPEAKER Uncle Joe Is That, but His Power Has Been Taken Away. Joseph G. Cannon of Danville, 111., is Ktill speaker of the house of repre sentatives. Put he lost the prestige of that office when the allied Repub lican Insurgents and Democrats took from him not only the chairmanship of but even membership in the all powerful committee on rules, the chief asset in his stock of power. Amid the wildest disorder, for the like of which one must go back to the exciting days just prior to the civil war, the Veteran speaker, almost 74 years old, stood erect and defiant. And at the end, when a big Texan Demo crat accepted the speaker's challenge and introduced a resolution to fling him out of the speakership, the Re publicans, regulars and insurgents, with few exceptions, rallied with al most unbroken party front and gave him a vote which almost offset the 'repudiation of Cannonlsm." By a vote of 191 to 155, the Repub lican Insurgents voting solidly with the Democrats, the house adopted the resolution of Representative Norris (Rep.) of Nebraska, requiring a reor ganization of the rules committee, in creasing Its membership from five to ten and declaring the speaker In eligible to membership thereon. By the same vote of 191 to 155 but with a decidedly different person nel of alignment the house defeated a resolution of Representative Burle son of Texas, declaring the speaker ship vacant and ordering an immedi ate election of a successor to Mr. Can-rion. BANKER AND HORSE THIEF Double Life of Ideal Citizen and Business Man. The authorities of several cities in the state of Indiana, including Indianapolis, are reaching out their hands for Robert H. Green, the Wayne town, Ind., banker, horse thief and Sunday school superintendent, who was captured in Indianapolis about two years ago and who escaped from tho penitentiary at Michigan City on May 29, 1909, after serving about 11 months. Green is under arrest in Cleveland and has been positively identified by means of the Bertillon records made at Indianapolis Green is a remark able criminal. He was regarded as an ideal citizen and business man of Waynetown and Crawfordsville. He controlled a bank in Waynetown and was active In church work. With his family he lived in a fine home on his farm near Waynetown. His horse thieving operations extend ed to almost every section of the state. Stolen horses traced to Waynetown were never found be cause they were in one of Green's barns and no one suspected the bank er of being a horse thief. Many of the horses were driven to Indianapolis during the night and shipped from there to Chicago. SUGAR COMPANY'S DEFICIT On Account of Payment of Penalties and Expenses of Litigation- The American Sugar Co. "earned a deficit" after payment of divi dends in the year ended Dec. 31 last, according to the income account. This unusual showing was due to payments of .$4,135,486 in settlement of the customs frauds cases and the litigations with the Pennsylvania Su gar Refining company. Of this amount an even $2,000,000 went to Receiver Earle of the Pennsylvania Sugar Re fining company, and the remainder to the government. The amount of the deficit is $1,335,850. The company had a surplus of $22, C97.723 at the close of the previous year and still has a surplus of $21, 301,873, so that it is not entirely im poverished by last year's extraordin ary developments. Apart from this business was. un usually good. Profits were more than $4,320,000 in excess of the pre vious year. But for an appropriation of $1,784,000 for depreciation and con tingencies the company could have shown a surplus after the payment of all expenses, dividends and expenses of litigation and penalties.

P Paid Large Sums of Money But Did Not Know For What. Although Superintendent Hotchkiss Could Not Find Out What Legis lators Got the $8,311 Paid Out by Elijah Kennedy He Got Trace of of Another Fund of $14,000 Paid by Various Fire Insurance Companies to the Late George Sheldon. New York, March 22.The astonish ingly bad memories of the half dozen witnesses that Superintendent of In surance Hotchkiss called for the in vestigation did not aid him in find ing out where the remaining $4,000 of the $8,311 paid out by Elijah Kennedy to push through favorable legislation went to . The fact of another fund Old come out, however. It was testified that $14,000 was given by various companies to the late George Sheldon, president of the Phenix Insurance company of Brook lyn. The donors could not remember for what purpose Sheldon asked the money except, for vague legal ex penses. That was In 1904-05. when the companies were fighting the anti compact bill in Albany. Kremer Paid Sheldon $7,500. William M. Kremer of the German American remeiiioered giving Shel don $7,500 In three installments; Vice President E. H. A. Correa, of the Home Fire contributed $5,000, and Marshalls Drygoods of the Williams burg City Fire Insurance company said that he presented the remaining 1,500 to Sheldcn. Although Mi-. Hotchkiss secured no knowledee from Mr. Correa's testi mony to help find what legislators re ceived the gifts, he did draw the wit ness out W the extent of saying that Sheldon practically succeeded Ken nedy as the board of underwriters' legislative agent in Albany. Sheldon had worked for the repeal of the Grady reinsurance bill of 1904.. Super intendent Hotchkiss said that his de partment is trying to get it repealed now. In connection with the Grady bill, which is said to have benefited three fire insurance companies and proved a detriment to more than 200 others, the superintendent issued a subpoena on Carl Schreiner, manager of the Municipal Fire Insurance company, so that he can explain how the bill was pushed through. Mr. Correa tes tified that Schreiner spent a large sum probably for legal expenses. Colonel Alexander H. Wray, man ager of the Commercial Union Assur ance company, limited, of London, told Mr. Hotchkiss that the foreign companies paid $19,000 to Davles, Stone & Auerbach in 1903. This was their share of a larger fund for ser vices that law firm devoted to protect ing the interests of foreigners. Other than that, Colonel Wray added noth ing to the records. The minutes of the laws and legis lation committee were laid out be fore Mr. Kremer. They revealed that Sheldon had run up a bill of $15,000 for legal expenses. The committee would not pay It, so Sheldon had to collect it on his own hook.. Objection to Valued Policy Bill. "What is the objection," the wit ness was asked, "to the valued policy bill?" "It practically puts a premium on the destruction of property or arson. So the statistics Bhow. This law had been passed In some states where tho companies had to Increase their premiums in order to offset the ef fects of the statute." Marshalls Drygoods, president of the Williamsburg City Fire Insurance company, was the next witness. He paid he was chairman of the finance committee. Witness In reply to a ouestlon raid unfortunately he knew Mr. Sheldon very well. A receipted bill for $10,000 paid to the national board of fire underwriters on June S, 1901, was placed on the table. It was for services in the re peal of the stamp tax in congress. Mr. Correa could not throw any light on the Kennedy gift fund and said that he was proud to state that he never knew any legislators at all. The two amounts of $2,500 each that he paid to Sheldon he was unable to account for, or their destination. The second one was paid In cash, reasons unknown, said Correa. DENIAL BY C. P.

HAD m I DEAD MAY REACH 60 M Bodies Have Been Taken From Rook Island Wreck In Iowa. Marshalltown, la., March 22. Forty five bodies have been taken from the wreckago of the Rock Island's St. Paul bound train, four miles north of Green Mountain, Marshall county, and 31 who were Injured have been brought here. It Is feared that the death list resulting from the crash which occurred on the Great Western tracks will reach 60. Three thousand searcherp are work Ins in the debris in an effort to ac count for a number of passengers who are missing. No Easterners are among tho dead and injured so far reported. The wrecked train is a combina tion of the trains which left St. Louia at 2:15 Sunday afternoon and the one which departed from Chicago two hours lator. The combination train was forced to make a detour over the Great Western tracks on account of the burning of a bridge 17 miles north of Cedar Rapids. It was while the train was moving over this stretch of track that the crash came. The engine left, the track and stuck in the bank in a deep cut at the top of a hill while going at the speed of 25 miles an hour. The second engine hurled Itself on top of tha other, crushing it further Into the earth. The sudden Impact caused the PMlman sleeper to telescope the smoking car Just behind, driving the sleeper clear through the car. The smoker in turn telescoped the women's day coach In these two cars the death loss was anpailing, there being 80 passengers In the women's coach aud almost as many In the smoker. In the sleeper only two were Killed and five or six hurt, according to Pull man Conductor E. W. Jay of this city. The county coroner and one of the physicians of -.he rescue party were badly hurt by being thrown from an ambulance. The wreckage caught fire and bodies of the dead were badly burned. REPUDIATED AGREEMENT Thousands o! Sympathetc Strik ers Went Back lo Work. Philadelphia, March 22. The strik ing car men have repudiated the agreement made between the Rapid Transit company and their own na tional president, William D. Mahon. It came as the most absolute surprise that Philadelphia has ever known. After Senator Penrose had forced the Rapid Transit company to grant 50 per cent more than the strikers had ever demanded and after Mahon in the name of the strikers had eager ly accepted the terms, the car union, urged on by Pratt, rejected the agree ment and humiliated their principal official and deliberately offended Pen rose, who had obtained for them far more than they had asked. Thousands of union men who had been out in sympathy with the car men went back to their jobs disgust ed with the outcome. The car men say that they repudi ated the Penrose-Mahon agreement because they did not want the strike to be settled by politicians and be cause there was no exclusive recogni tion of their rnion in the peace treaty. The articles of agreement were tak en by Mr. Mahon to the strikers' headquarters to be ratified by the committee of ten. Murphy suggested to Mahon that tho barn committee of car men, nineteen men, one from each barn, be given an opportunity to look over the articles before the commit tee of ten ratified them formally. The articles were read by the 19 and Mahon was asked if Senator Pen rose and McNichol brought about the agreement. On Mahon saying they did the spokesman for the 19 declared that they could not agree to anything the politicians did. Mahon returned to Senator Pen rose's office in company with the sub committee, told him of the result and Senator Penrose threw up his hands. So far as the threatened state-wide sirike is concerned, it Is significant that although Greenwalt and the other State Federation leaders had de clared t lint It would go Into effect Monday If thu company and the car men had not come to an agreement they said todav that "il might he call ed some time soon if agreement was not reached."
