WRECKS New York, May 23.—That the Steel trust Is deliberately making rails of Inferior quality and Is thereby respon sible for the Increase In railroad acci dents Is the charge brought by the Scientific American and 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 Gaiette sums 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 and greater weights, but flgures 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. CORE! MAY RESIGN STEEL TRUST JOB Pttsburg. Pa., May 23.—If IV. E. Corey leaves the United States Steel Corporation it will be to become asso ciated tvlth Charles M. Schwab In the Bethlehem Steel Company. This Is the latest report among local' steel men. Schwab, when In the city last Monday, Is said to have expressed himself em phatically to Intimate friends on the re cent attteks on President Corey. Last night when the rumors of Co rey’s resignation was suggested to President Alva C. Dinkey, of the Car negie Steel Company, Mr. Dinkey said tmphatlrally: *‘T do not think there will be tiny new president of the steel corporation. In my opinion Mr. Corey will remain In the presidency for a long time to come."

Captain Harold T. An derson. who with his wife was drown ed here, was found yesterday. As his body was being dragged to the surface of the water his hold to his wife broke loose just as they reached the surface and she fell back, to be carried rapidly down stream again, and so far all ef forts to locate her remains have proven futile. A reward of 350 was offered by the father of the deceased man for the recovery of the body of Ills son and daughter-in-law and large numbers of people have been searching for them. The body of Captain Anderson was brought to the city late yesterday aft ernoon and embalmed and It will be held until his wife’s body Is recovered. •Mm PRESBYTERIANS INDORSE • THE ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE By REV. GEORGE MACK. 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 League, on the ground that as It went Into politics 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 lengue, but promised co-operation "consistent with Its constitution.” That means that as a church It can not 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. IQ calls for 31,100.000 for this year. Its special features are work In the Southwest, Cuba, Alaska, among Immigrants; In evangelistic work and In the bureau of labor and the church. The committee on help for the San Francisco churches were empowered to raise 1126.000 more for the work In that stricken city. PRETTYHOUSE MAIDiS“RA7” 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 sue- plclon of having stolen 32,545 worth of Jewelry, 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 Annlo's blond locks was found the missing property. The matron pulled out, one nfter the other, a dla. mond sunburst worth 31.000, a diamond neck chain, three diamond- rings, band ring and a lady's gold watch.

May 23.—“Goldie" Neil, the pretty New York artists' 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 herjndetormlnate sen tence of from five'to nine years Im prisonment. 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 his 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 lleve this version of the story, although the prosecution accepted It as true and agreed to a plea of guilty of man slaughter.

The committee based Its recommenda tions on n poll of the 3,000 members of the association. Of the total number replying, 66 per cent declared for Im mediate revision, while 20 per cent ex pressed a "Hands off’ 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 answers. The effort to table ther report was de feated and It was adopted as reported. The mass of resolutions adopted by the association on this, the closing day of Its convention, Included Indorsement of the open shop and Industftal educa tion. The association re-elected James W Van Cleave, of St. Louis, president, and F. H. Stillman, of New York, treasurer. The convention closed last night with a banquet. Charles W. Prouty, member of the Interstate commerce commission, ad dressing the association, said the gov ernment should exercise some direct contrql over tha capital accounts of the railroads, and that It Is probable Inter state railways should be valued by the government. He said; "Government regulation Is Itself on trial. Regulation, must be sufficiently strong to choke the cry for national operation. I am nqt asking that addi tional powers be conferred upon the In terstate commerco commission.

Chattanooga, Tenn., May 1J.—Post- office Inspectors seem powerless to cope with the poatoMco robbers who have been operating all around Chattanooga during the lost six months. Although eight postofflees have been robbed In the boldest manner, neither the govern ment nor county officers have been able to get on the trail of the robbers. That the robberies have been committed by one gang Is practically certain as the same methods are used every time. The latest work of the gftng was done Tues day night when the postoffice at South Pittsburg was robbed of money and stamps to the value of several hundred dollars.

WHITE ORGANIZER CHARGED $25 PER HEAD FOR SOCIETY Cut Down His Prices, But Failed to Catch Pitts burg Negroes. . , A new departure In the “fleecing”, game came to light Thursday morning when Chief Turner, of the county po lice, rccelvsd Information that a white man, whos* name and whereabouts are yet unknown, Is circulating among the less educated negroes of Atlanta seek ing to organise them Into a “society" for the purpose of "bettering their con dition." The only requisite to membership In this organisation Is the payment of tho paltry sum of 336. It Is said that the etranger has been visiting many negroes In Atlanta and has sought to Induce thorn to become 1 members of hts "aoclety" by telling j them that when they organise they will \ then be In position to strike tor high- | er wages and can command their own j price for labor. It Is also said that this Moses who J has come out of the white race to the ! tempted to secure from 1 bershlp fee more readily by holding out promises of revolt against tho white race, which "can be done more suc cessfully when they are organised." Had the benevolent Individual begun his operations on a smaller scale and charged a more moderate fee for Initia tion Into his "order” he might have been able to fleace a few of tho unsus pecting negroes of a few hundred dol lars and then made hla exit. But In this way he unsuspectingly laid the trap for his own undoing. The etranger held a meeting In Pitts burg last Bunday at which time ho un folded his plan* and made known hi* “price.” The fee of 335 staggered and appalled the comprehension of the negroes who were approached, and consequently there was nothing doing. Finding that hla plans were about to fall, the stranger began to scale down the price until he had reached the limit of a quarter. At this point tho humor of the situation appealed to one of the negroee present at the meeting and he laughed. The would-be leader became enraged when he found that he was being mocked by the pe<Ve for whom he was laboring and the meeting was broken up by the attempt of the leader to break the head of thf negro who laughed. It Is said the etranger wears a leath er collar end Is tall and alim. The county police are most anxious to make 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.
