DECIDES THE TERMINAL CASE
Interstate Commerce Commission
Finds Chicago Shippers Receive
Illegal Rebates from Railroad.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 11. The Interstate
Commerce commission, In an opinion by
Commissioner Prouty today, made public
Its decision In the Investigation entitled,
"In the Matter of Divisions of Joint Rates
and Other Allowances to Terminal Rail
roads." It Is decided that rebates which
have been received by terminals In and
about the city ot Chicago, controlled by
the International Harvester company and
the United States Steel corporation, popu
larly known as the Harvester trust and the
Steel trust, have been excessive for the
services rendered by the terminals In
switching cars to and from roads leading
to all sections of the country.
On the general question Involved In the
case, however, the commission has de
cided: That it is not onlawful for a railroad
operated as a common carrier and owned
by the shipper to make joint rates with
other carriers and receive divisions of such
rates; but, on the other, hand, that it 1b
unlawful under the interstate commerce
law and the Elklns amendment for any car
rier to grant excessive divisions of rates to
another carrier owned by the shipper for
the purpose of securing the traffic of that
shipper. To the extent such divisions of
rates exceed a reasonable charge for the
service performed It Is deoided that they
operate as 'a rebate to cut the tariff charge
for the benefit of the shipper and constitute
undue preference In violation of the state.
The International Harvester company
Qwna the capital stock of the Illinois North
ern railroad and a controlling interest In
the Chicago, West Pullman & Southern
railroad, operating a terminal connecting
road between the plant of the harvester
company and vprlous other Industries and
connecting with roads leading to the Mis
souri river and other sections ot the coun
try. Until recently the mlxlmum switch
ing charge received was 83.50 a car, but now
the terminal receives a division of rate,
with a maximum of 20 per cent on lines
reaching the Missouri river, amounting to
$12 a car on farm machinery. The commis
sion decided that any division In excess of
a reasonable switching charge to be an un
lawful preference' In favor of the harvest
ing company. The case affecting the United
States Steel corporation refers to a similar
division ot rates In favor of the Chicago,
Lake Shore & Eastern railway owned by
the Steel corporation.
Mrs. Caleb Pancoast was killed on Monday
night by the same train.
COLONEL ANTHONY IS DEAD
Proprietor of the Leavenworth Times
Succumbs to Heart
Disease.
;
LEAVENWORTH. Kan.. Nov. 12. Colonel
D. R. Anthony, the noted editor of the
Leavenworth Times and brother of Miss
Susan B. Anthony, the woman suffragist,
died at his home here' this morning of
heart disease, aged 80 years.
Colonel Daniel Reed Anthony, who gained
his title In the union army, was one of the
last of a half doxen editors who did much
to spread the fame of Kansas In Its early
days. He was for nearly half a ccnturv
editor and proprietor of the Leavenworth
Times, and during that time did much to
shape the destiny of his state.
He was born at Adams, Mass., and spent
his early years in New York. Ho was
intimately acquainted with Thurlow Weed,
Horace Greeley, Senator Seward and others
in New Yrk politics of that day. His
first entry Into Kansas was In 1854, when
he lead, a free state party to the Sunflower
state. Soon thereafter he became con
nected with newspaper work and up to the
time of his death he was active In' the
affairs of the state. He had served both
as mayor and postmaster of Leavenworth,
as a member of the Kansas legislature, and
in 1886 was. made a, government director
1 nf tha TTnlnn Dnnlfln njW.! . If. ...
- viiiwii inuiunu. lie lurmeiiy
waa a member of the advisory board of
the Associated Press. ...
Colonel Anthony had been In ill health
for several years. He was stricken with
heart trouble last June. At that time his
condition became alarming, but he rallied
and within a few days resumed his labors
In the office of the Times. A month ago
ne was again attacked and despite his re
markable vitality failed to rally after sev
eral sinking spells.

YOUNG MAN DIES IN PRISON
Charged with Serious Crime. New
York Man Worries Himself
to Death.
NEW YORK, Nov. ll.-Frederick, Ewe, a
young ' tradesman who has always borne
a good reputation until he was arrested
ten days ago on charges made by two little
girls, died In a cell In the Jersey City jail
today. It Is believed that his death was
due to fright and constant worry as to
what fate had In store for him.
Ewe was one of fourteen Hudson' county
men arrested on serious charges preferred
by little girls, and his death adds another
tragic link to tht case which has excited
Hudson county. Already many reputations
In Jersey City and Hoboken have been
shattered and two of the accused have
tried to commit suicide.
Since his confinement In ths Jail Ews had
continually protested his innocence of the
charges against him. ' Fear of conviction.
however, preyed upon him constantly; he
frequently awoke with startled screams
and told ths keepers ot terrible dreams In
which the faces of his accusers spposred.
Today when his cell was entered Ewe's
body waa lying ' on the floor. His facs
w.as distorted with fear and the doctors
said that djath probably came as a result
of frightful dreams which had haunted him.
NEW YORK. Nov. ll.-Half of the n.w

requirements of the Japanese government.'
TOKIO, Nov. 11. A majority of the news
, papers of Toklo sharply criticise the terms
! unaer wnicn the new Japanese loan lias
Deen placed In London and New York. They
pronounce tne rate as being too high, con
rtderlng the amount of loan Is a com para
tively small one. The Asahl Shlmbun
presses the opinion, that It was unwise to
place the loan before the fall of Port Ar
thur.
The new Japanese loan Is for the amount
of 800,000,000, half of which will be offered
in London and half in New York. The
price Is to be 90H, with Interest at 6 per
cent, i he loan will be secured by a second
charge on Japanese customs duties. A ii
patch from London November 8 said that
aeaungs in the loan had already commenced
mere at 1V permlum.
It was definitely stated in New York
Wednesday last that Kuhn. Loeb Co. of
that city had organized a syndicate to
finance one-half of the loan.

BY PROXY
What the Baby Needed.
I suffered from nervousness and head
ache until one day about a year ago It
suddenly occurred to me what a great
coffee drinker I waa and I thought may
be this might have something to do with
my trouble, so I shifted to tea for awhile
but was not bettor, If anything worse.
"At that time I had u baby four months
old that we had to feed on the bottle, un
til an old lady friend told me to try Postum
Food Coffee. Three months ago I com
menced using Postum, leaving off the tea
and coffee, and not only have my head
aches and nervous trouble entirely dis
appeared, but since than I have been glv
lng plenty of nurse for my baby and have
a large, healthy child now.
"I have no desire . to drink anything
but Postum and know It has benefited
my children, and I hope all who have
children will try Postum and find out
for themselves what a really wonderful
food drink it Is." Name given by Postum
co. Battle Creek, Mich.
Both tea and coffee contain quantities
of a poisonous drug called Caffeine that
directly affects the heart, kidneys, atom
ach and nerves. Postum la made from
cereals only, scientifically blended to get
the coffee flavor. Ten dais trial of Pos
turn In place of tea or coffee will show
a health secret worth more than a gold
mine. There s a reason.

DENVER, Nov. 11. -The News (dem.) to
day ray: "Whle the returns on ti e vote
for state offices, apart from governor, aie
far from complete, the News has comp led
ables that seem to thow the cl'ctl.n of
ho -entire republican state ticket, exempt
Peabody, and of the thrte lepub.ican con
gressmen. A consiiieratle number of coun
ties are estimated on the best passible ad-
hes and there Is a chance that Mrs. Gren-
fcld, democratic car.dldato lor siuto super
intendent of public Instruction, may pull
through on the scratch vote in her favor.
The state senate Is uemocratlc by a good
majority, but U.w complexion of the 'house
Is In doubt.
The plurality of .Adams over Peabody for
governor amounts to 9,646.
The democrats now concede the election
of three republican congressmen In Colo

Brooks (rep.) a majority of 1.976 over John
F. Shafroth (dem.). for congresman-at-

Maryland Reaalt Verr Close.
BALTIMORE, Nov. ll.-That an official
count of the ballots cast for the presidential
electors Inst Tuesday In Maryland will be
required before deflnito knowledge of tho
result can be assured was demonstrated
tonight by the semi-official count In Balti
more and In twenty of the twenty-three
counties of the state. The unofficial re
turns received thus far Indicate that seven
democratic electors and one republican
elector were chosen. The congressional
situation remains unchanged, three demo
cratic and three republican congressmen
having been elected. The State Board of
Canvassers will make the official announce
ment of the vote. -This board must meet
and complete Its labors within thirty days
after the day of election.
It Is explained by the election super
visors and the political leaders that the
mlsmarking of ballots caused the discrep
ancy between the vote for the national and
congressional candidates. In this connec
tion charges of fraud are made by the
leaders of either party and It will be neces
sary to await the ofllctal count to decide
the vote.
Of the presidential electors It Is safe to
say that by the unofficial count Charles J.
Bonaparte, republican, of Baltimore, was
elected and the remaining seven Maryland
members of the electoral college were
chosen by an average majority ot about 400
by the democrats.
The vote for the candidates on the social
ist, tho prohibition and the union labor
tickets has not yet been canvassed. Both
democratic and republican leaders say that
frauds and "Irregularities' were used In
several counties and hundreds of ballots
were held up by the supervisors In Balti
more and In at least 'three counties. It
will therefore require the decision of tho
State Board of Canvassers to determine
the actual result.
Democrats Lose West Virginia.
PARKERSBVRQ, W. Va., Nov. 11. The

majority of 'Dawson for governor. Repub
licans claim it will be 10,000, democrats say
5,000.
ST.. LOUIS, Nov. 11. Unofficial returns
received today by the Post-Dispatch from
all but twelve counties In the state give
Folk, democrat for governor, a majority of
36,338 over Walbrldge, republican, and Swan-
ger, republican for secretary of state, a
majority of 14,361 over Cook, the present
incumbent. Returns from the counties re
ceived today show decided republican gains,
adding to the safe majority received by
Roosevelt over Parker. Of the twelve coun
ties etlll to hear from It will be impossible
to get complete returns from eight for at
least a week, as they are distant from the
railroad lines.
The Post-Dispatch, Independent-democrat,
says today:
Returns now being tabulated at repub
lican and democratic headquarters, com
plete, with the exception of five counties,
which probably will show a net republican
plurality of 1,000, Indicate that Cook, can
didate for re-election as secretary of state
on the democratic ticket, is defeated by
20.000 totes.
Auditor Allen, also a candidate for re
election, is 15,000 votes behind, Wilder, re
publican nominee, while the remainder oi
the democratic state ticket, with the ex
ception of Folk for governor, Is probably
lost by pluralities varying from 500 to 6.000.
Judge Evans, chairman of the democratic
state committee, admits the democrats have
elected only seven out of sixteen congress
men, a democratic loss of eight.
Semi-official returns from county com
mittee chairmen In all but thirteen counties
In Missouri, msde to the Post-Dispatch,
give Folk, democrat for governor, a ma
jority of 34,164 over Walbrldge, republican;
Swanger, republican, for secretary of
state, a majority of 16,207 over Cook, the
present Incumbent, and Wilder, republican,
for auditor, a majority of 13,111 over Allen,
the present Incumbent.
The three missing counties four years

Testimony of Two Maids Employed at
Waldorf-Astoria in Dolbcer
Will Case.
NEW YORK, Nov. 11. Two maids em
ployed at the Waldorf-AMoria testified to
day before Commissioner Robert P. Lee,
who Is taking testimony In the contest over
the will of Miss Dolbeer, who lost her life
on July 9 either by falling or by Jumping
from the window of the hallway on the
ninth floor of the Waldorf-Astoria. The
contest Is now being tried in the courts of
California and Commissioner Lee has been
authorized to take the testimony of the
New York witnesses.
Jennie O'Donnell testified that It was part
of her duty to care for the rooms occupied
by Miss Dolbeer and Miss Warren. About
4 o'clock on tho afternoon of July 9, 1904,
she' said she saw Miss Warren and Miss
Dolbeer at the windows looking from the
hall Into the court. . She saw them leave
the window and go into their rooms to
gether. A few minutes later Bhe saw Miss
Dolbeer come out alone and go again to
the window. She did not know whether
It was closed or open. The witness said
that as Ml.-fs Dolbeer walked to the window
she noticed that Miss Wurren was standing
at tho door of her room looking toward
Miss Dolbeer.
The witness walked down the hall past
Miss Dolbeer and got to the end of the
hall when she was startled by a noise
which she could, not describe and heard a
woman scream. She turned back quickly.
Miss Dolbeer .was gone and Miss Warren
was at the window waving her arms and
screaming. When the witness ran up to
her and asked what had happened Miss
Warren cried out in anguish: "You saw
me trying to save her; she's gone out of
the window."
The maid then left Miss Warren still
screaming at the window and ran to report
what had happened, after which she re
turned and with two other maids tried to
comfort Miss Warren.
Bessie Mason,' another-rrtaid, testified that
shortly after the accident she was told by
Jennie O'Donnell that the lady in No. 923
had "gone out of the window into the
court." She ran to No. 923 and found Miss
Warren rushing about waving her anna
and hysterical. Miss Warren, she said,
threw her arms about her and cried out:
You saw me watching her, didn't you? I
