Chicago-That .it will be' useless vto
attempt to develop the west with in
adequate railroad facilities was the as
sertion of transportation officials at a
meeting in Chicago Tuesday. The
conference was of general 'passenger
nsents of western roa-is and the ques
tion for consideration was low home
seekers' rates during the coming win
ter and spring. .It had been proposed
that for the sak9 of developing the
Transmissouri country the usual low
ronud trip fares should be authorized,
which rates have had the effect of
helping to settle that great district
during the past few years.
After a thorough discussion it was
tiie consensus of opinion .that it would
be useless to go ahead- with low rates
and attempt to populate toe western
states when facilities of the transpor
tation companies are entirely, inade
quate to handle the. present business.

tration referred to the course of the
debates as the permanent international
high court of Justice, the court of

and universal arbitration Is regarded
as a groat victory and especially for
the United States. The first proposition
on this aubjeat waa presented" to the
conference on July t by the American
delegation and Joseph H. Choate. the
American reprcTentative. Lave worked
unceasingly and determinedly for its
acceptance.
The project was approved by a ma
jority greater than was hoped for. It
is essentially American anl its basis,
the enunciation of the compulsory ar
bitration, was taken bodily from tho
American proposition. The vote. 31

position being Germany, Austrian-Hun-gary,

Greece. Turkey. Bulgaria ami Monte
negro proved that as Mr. Renault
(France) said in the discusssion in the
afternoon "arbitration is not a strange
beast that must be muzzled."
Another great success for America
was the unanimous manner in. which
the countries of the American conti
nent stood firmly at the slt'e of the
United tates, thus putting an end to
their impression of lack of harmony
between the governments of the west
ern hemisphhere created by reports of
recent dissens'ons. Only Senor Barra
of Mexico predicted that he would
vote against the project, his govern
ment being of the opinion that it re
stricts action of the national courts.
Dr.-Barbosa (Argentine) made declara
tions of a similar nature.

..exchanges of New Orleans, which have
declared that the commercial lite of
the port depends upon the outcome of
the strike. From 10,000 to 12,000 men
probably will be involved, because the
railroad freight handlers will not work

New York Loans aggregating 20,
000,000 which the books of the South

lution to Frank S. Kellogg, conducting

Oil company, Tnursday, when Mr.
Trainor, takir7 the witness stand in
the oil suit, testified that the money
had never been paid to him and that
he had never heard of the account
The Southern's books show that un
signed vouchers were received for
these loans and that the money was
'never handed back to:the-'company.-
Mr. Trainor said that he was for
merly crude oil purchasing agent for
the Standard Oil company of New
York, and as such he purchased all
the oil and sold it to the refineries.
He said he acted in a similar capacity
now for the Standard Oil company of
New Jersey.

tention' to the variqus loans, amount
ing to over $20,000,000, which were
Siade by the. Southern Pipe Line com-
-pany and charged to "P. S; Trainor"'
and asked him to tell concerning the
loans.
"I do not- know anything about
these loans," answered Mr. Trainor.
"I had an oil account with the South
ern, but no money account I never
gave them any vouchers and never
heard anything about the loans."
Mr. Trainor said that "he fixed the
price paid for crude oil after , consult
ing with John D. Archbolrvlce pres
ident of the Standard. These consul
tations were held 'dally, - Mr. "Trainor
said, and' after theyr weres'oyer he
made public'the market price of crude
oil. ' " " - - -

OHIO WOMAN BANK WRECKER IN
BAD SHAPE.
Has Weak Heart and Her Condition
la Such that It la Thought She
Cannot Last Long.
Columbus," O. Mrs. Cassia Chad
wick; who is serving time for her part
in wrecking an' Ohio bank, is in a crit
ical condition in the women's ward at
the penitentiary. She is considered
in very bad shape. Her vitality is very
low. Her pulse is 100 and she' has
marked fevor.
Mrs. Chadwick is serving a ten-year
term in the penitentiary for wrecking
the First National .bank in Oberlin, O.
For some days she has been unable to
retain nourishment and she is seem
ingly indifferent to her fate, and ap
parently resigned to the.fact that her
end 'is fast approaching. She has been
in the penitentiary since January 12,
1906, and wi good time to her ciedit,
would have gotten out November 26,
1911, had the fatal disease not. seized
upon her.
Mrs. chadwick has been confined to
her 'bed since the first severe attack
about three weeks ago, when, while
talking to her son, she suddenly col
lapsed and was ' unconscious for some
time.
It was at first hinted that she. was
"playing otf" In-order to excite sym
pathy and"securea pardon, but within
a few days it was known that her case
was serious, and she was placed under
the constant care of the prison phy I
cian. Her trouble is attack of heart
failure, and weak stomach, the inner
according to the physician, being
caused directly by indulging in ricn
food. When se first came to the pri
son Mrs.' Chadwick sent to a fashion
able 'restaurant in the city for "ner
meals and ate the richest viands. Fi
nally the prison officials ordered, that
she be compelled to eat the1" regular
prison fare, but she stMl complained of
her stomach and gradually became
worse.
' She made pfofesssion of the Roman
'Catholic" faith and the" 'rite of baptism
'was administered to" her bv the Cath

ntvn lior tied. "
'Sheha heveF been" required to -attend
chapel exercises. -nfe privilege'
was granted her at her request. It
was believed .that while her crime was
still fresh In the public mind, her pres
ence in the chapel would have drawn
an undesirable crowd to the, services.
