STEEL /RUSi IS CHARGED . WITH MANY R. R. WRECKS Xe« York, May 23.—That the Steel trust ts deliberately making rails of Inferior quality and Is thereby reapon- ,|ble for the Increase In railroad acci dents Is the charge brought by the Scientific American Ind other technical publications. The Scientific American explains the trust has been using a lower grade of ores high In phosphorus and making steel too brittle.. The railway Gasette eums up and says the trust “knowingly makes rails which break and kill people.". The Iron Age, In speaking for the manufacturers, claim the breaks are caused by higher speed ami greater weights, but figures upsetting this claim are published showing that 80- pound rails, made five or ten years ago, are giving better service now than new 100-pound rails.

This Is a picture of the pretty artist's model Who pleaded guilty In Connecticut to killing her hus band by stabbing him In the eye with a nail file. She, was sentenced to the penitentiary. New York. May 33.—"Goldie" Nell, the pretty New York artiste' model and actress, self-confessed slayer of her husband, Joseph Nell, was taken from the county jail at Bridgeport to the Connecticut state prison, Wethersfield, today to begin her Indeterminate sen tence of from five Jo nine year* Im prlsonment. A plea of guilty of manslaughter brought her trial before Justice Wheel er In the superior court at Bridgeport to an abrupt end and possibly saved the young woman from more severe punishment, as she was under Indict ment for murder In the first degree. The state's attorney announced hie willingness to accept a plea of guilty In the minor degree of homicide, and the woman's lawyer quickly took ad vantage of the opportunity to save her. Goldie Nell's lips trembled and her voice was scarcely audible as she stood up before Justice Wheeler and con fessed her guilt. Hardly had the words passed her lips when her quivering limbs failed her and she sank uncon scious to the floor of the court room. The state's attorney accepted the statement of the defense as to the man ner In which “Goldie” Nell killed her husband. ‘Ooldle" Nell told how she had tried to push her husband away from her with an umbrella, and In defend ing herself, and the point entered his brain. Justice Wheeler evidently did not be- lieve this version of the story, although the prosecution accepted It as true and agreed to a plea of guilty of man slaughter. In passing sentence.

Columbus, Ohio, May 23.—After one of the most spirited of debates, lasting over two hours, the Presbyterian as sembly came to a decision on the tem perance question. The last assembly declined to offi cially recognise the Anti-Saloon I>ague, on the ground that as It .went Into polities the church should not commit Itself to political action. The assembly's permanent committee on temperance had, during the year, led In organising the Interchurch Temper ance Council and In Pennsylvania this had opposed the Anti-Saloon League. The league has too many friends In the Presbyterian church, and Its effi ciency Is too. great, to be thus dealt with. It was evident that this assem bly must untie the knot. Since saloon men charged that the Presbyterian church had rejected the Anti-Saloon League and Its work, the assembly yesterday gave It a vote of confidence. It did not commit Itself to the league, but promised co-operation “consistent with Its constitution." That means that as a church It can r.ot co. operate In political movements, but that as Individuals the league has the support of all Presbyterians. On the other hand, the assembly In structed Its permanent committee not to Interfere, either directly or through the Interchurch Council In political movements, as In Pennsylvania. Its work must be educational. A most enthusiastic report on home missions was read by Dr. Elmore, of Chattanooga, and adopted. It calls for $1,160,000 for this year. Its epeclal feature* are work In the Southwest. Cuba, Alaska, among Immigrants; In svangellstlc work and In the bureau of labor and the church. The committee on help for the San Francisco churches were empowered to raise $135,000 more tor the work In that stricken city. PRETTY HOUSE MAID’S"RAT’ HELD $2,545 STOLEN GEMS New York. May 23.—When Annie Coopersteln, a maid employed In the home of Theodore Simon, a manufac turer, was arrested last night on sus picion of having stolen $2,545 worth of Jeweliy, she looked the personification of Innocence. The matron at the police station noticed, however, that there was an unusual bulge to, the girl's front hair, and decided to Investigate. Cleverly concealed In the "rat" under pretty Annie's blond locks was found tile missing property. The matron pulled out, one after the other, a dia mond sunburst worth $1,000, a diamond neck chain, three diamond rinse, a band ring and a lady's gold watch.

Her mann and Charles Hyde, have been legally notified they are Joint helra to an estate of $350,000,000, held In the chancery court of England.

"OPEN SHOPS" INDORSED BY NATL MANUFACTURERS New York, May 3$.—The National Association of Manufacturers of the United States voted yesterday In fa vor of a revision of the tariff at the earliest opportunity, and tha negotia tion of more reciprocal treaties. A lively debate preceded the vote, upon the acceptance of' the report of the committee on tariff and reciprocity. The committee based Its raoommenda- tlons on a poll of the 3,000 members of the association. Of the total number replying, 65 per cent declared for Im mediate revision, while 20 per cent ex pressed a “Hands oft" sentiment. Eight per cent believed that the time for re vision had not arrived and the other 17 per cent expressed Indifference or made non-committal answer*. The effort to table the report was de feated and It was adopted a* reported. The mass of resolutions adopted by the association on this, the closing day of Its convention, Included Indorsement of the open shop and Industrial educa tion. The association re-elected James W. Van Cleave, of St. Louis, president, and K. H. Stillman, of New York, treasurer. S he convention closed last night with a inquet. Charles W. Prouty, member of the Interstate commerce commission, ad dressing the association, said the gov ernment should exercise some direct control over the capital accounts of the railroads, and that It Is probable Inter state railways should be valued by the government. He nald: "Government regulation Is Itself on trial. Regulation must be sufficiently strong to choke the cry for national operation. I am not asking Wist addi tional powers be conferred upon the In terstate commerce commission. We must create a department of railways, which ehoutd be charged with that part of the railway regulation which I properly administrative and executive.

WHITE ORGANIZER CHARGED $25 PER HEAD F| SOCIETY Cut Down His Prices, But Failed to Catch Pitts burg Negroes. A new departure In tha "fleecing” game came to light Thursday morning whan Chief Turner, of th* county po lice, received Information that a white man, whose name and whereabouts are yet unknown. Is circulating among the lass aducatad negroes of Atlanta seek ing to organise them Into a "society” for the purpose of "battering their con dition.” The only requisite to membership in this organisation la the payment of tha paltry sum of $36. It te sold.that th* stranger has been visiting many negroes In Atlanta and has sought to Induce them to become members of his "society" by telling them that when they organize they will then be In position to strike for high er wages and can command their own price for labor. It Is also said that this Mooes who has com* out of th* whit* race'to the "assistance" of th* negroes has sought to Incite them to rioting, and haa at tempted to secure from them the mem bership fee more readily by bolding out promisee of revolt against the whit* nee, which "can be don* more suc cessfully when they are organised." Had the benevolent Individual begun his operations on a smaller scats and charged a more moderate fee for Initia tion Into hla "order" he might have been able to fleece a few of tbs unsus pecting negroes of a few hundred do|- are and then made his exit But In this way he unsuspectingly laid the trap for hi* own undoing. The stranger held a meeting In Pitts burg last Sunday at which time he un folded hla plans and made known hi* ’price." The fee of $25 staggered and appalled th* comprehension of the negroes who were approached, and consequently there was nothing doing. Finding that hla plana were about to fail, the stranger began to scale down the price until he had reached the limit of a quarter. At this point the humor of the situation appealed to one of the negroes present at the meeting and he laughed. The would-be lead#r became enraged when he found that he wes being mocked by the perils for whom he was laboring and the meeting wee broken up by the attempt of tha leader to break the head of the negro who laughed. \ It Is said the stranger wear* a leath er collar and Is tall and slim. Tha county police are moat anxious to mak* his acquaintance and are going out of their way to bring about a meeting. 4% Interest Compounded, Allowed In Our SAVINGS DEPARTMENT On and After January 1,1907 TH E NEAL BANK E.
