OUR SISTER REPUBLICS
HOW INTIMATE RELATIONS WITH
THEM MAY BE SECURED.
2£ecommemlationH of the Central an<l Sout h
American Commission The Idol of Vir
ginia’* Democracy The Inter
state Commerce Bill.
Washington, Jan. B.—The commission to
the Central and South American states lias
presented its report to the president in which
it recites the manner in which it has per
formed its duties. In order to secure more ,
intimate commercial relations between the
United States and the several countries of
Central and South America, the commission
finds that there must bo, first, regular and j
direct steam communication: second, com
mercial treaties aud reciprocal concessions
and tariff duties; third, the simplification
airl modification of customs regulations in
the Central and South American countries;
fourth, the increase and improvement of the
consular service; fifth, the establishment of
American mercantile houses in Central and
South America; sixth, a more intimate
knowledge among American manufacturers
of the wants of the people of Central and
South America; seventh, a system of bank
ing connection and a common standard of
Value; eighth, more liberal credits by our
merchants; ninth, the introduction of the
bonded warehouse system into those coun
tries.
With reference to the fourth proposition
the commission says it has been urged w ith
much force to recommend the establishment
of a new executive department of the gov
ernment similar to the board of trade of
England, with a member of the cabinet for
the head, to which shall be committed
the care and arrangement of our foreign
commerce.
In order to encourage the construction of
Vessels, to secure means of communication
between the United States, Central and South
America it has been suggested that congress
authorize the postmaster general to advertise
for proposals for carrying the mails to and j
from the ports of Central and South Amer- !
ica for a period of ten years, and make con- |
tracts for that period with the lowest respon
sible bidder under restrictions which shall
guarantee os low charges per mile for freight
and passengers os are now paid to foreign j
Vessels.
With regard to the treaties the commis 1
sion indorses what was said on the subject.
The message of the president with regard to
complaints among merchants of exactions
aud impositions suffered at the custom houses
of Central and South America. The com
mission recommends that in reciprocities the
United States government should require a
simplification and modification of these per
plexed systems. The commission recommends
the increase of the consular s-Tvi- \ >o as to
have a representative of the United {States at
every South American port, and also sug
gests that consuls be allowed to act as agents
for the introduction of American manufac
tures, and to be paid slight fe->s by the
latter for their trouble. The commis »n
regards the establishment of branch in : s
by American merchants in those count) - is
absolutely essential to their trade, for ihe
reason that merchants in those countries are
usually German and English, who will buy
in Europe in preference to the United Ht.V s
The quality of American goods is said to be
superior in almost every instance to thus >f
the English and are greatly preferred by the
people, but English merchants will buy in
England and there are few American m- r
chantg in South America. It is complained
that American manufftctui ers do not
make or pack their wares to suit
the Spanish American market. The absence
of banking facilities is a drawback, but as
banking al ways follows trade the commission
can not see how the government can do any
thing to change present conditions. It is b<
lieved that commerce, however, can be largoiy
increased by the establishment of a comm -n
standard of value. The inability of Ameri
can merchants to offer their customers in
Central and South America as liberal credits
arc given by the merchants of Europe is a
great obstacle in the path of commerce.
The commission thinks that the introduc
tion of the bonded warcuous. system into the
countries of ( eiitrai and South America un
der which the merchant could pay duties
when ho needed his goods, instead of being
con spelled to pay the duty on tha entire in
voice upon arrival, would fa litilt ti> i
The commission make other suggestions, * but
those are the chief points in i<s report.
John Warwick Daniel, oi. Virginia, who is
invited to deliver the address in the hall of
the house of representatives on the day of
the dedication of the Washington m.eminent
is the idol of the young democracy iff Wash
ington's native state. He lost his leg and
was shot all to pieces during the war vvh n
little more than a boy. He is elected to the
forty-ninth congress and ran against Mil
hone’s man, Emmerson, for governor last
election. The anti-Mahonites are delighted
w ith the selection. The Daniels family has
supplied in every generation a judge to the
supreme bench of the state, be dd.es Raleigh
Daniel, the celebrated attorney general, and
John M. Daniel, editor of the Richmond Ex
aminer.
Rev. William Parot, elected to succeed
Bishop Pinckney, was to-day consecrated
bishop of the Episcopal Church for the dio
ceses of Maryland. The ceremonies were
grand and imposing, and took place in
Epiphany church, of which for the past eight
years Dr. Paret has been rector. The church
was handsomely decorated for the occasion.
At 10 o’clock the doors were thrown open,
and the ceremonies began. After prayer
Bishop Lyman, of North Carolina, delivered
the consecration sermon,
at the close of which Bishops Neely and
Whitehead led the bishop-elect to the pre
siding bishop who conducted the examina
tion. This was followed by the consecration*
which was most impressive. The church wt i
packed to its fullest capacity, u.’er " .0 clergj -
men dressed in full robes of office being pres
ent.
The inter-state commerce bill came up
again in the house as unfinished business the
pending question being on Mr. Hammond’fl
(Ga.) amendment that the commissioners
shall not be appointed until March 5. The
amendment was adopted, only twelve nega
tive votes being cast. After the rejection of
several amendments the bill was passed.
Yeas 102, nay 75.
Mr. Davis (Mo.) called up the contested
election case of Geo. H. Craig against Uhas.
M. Shelly, in the fourth Alabama district

out objection.
Gen. Giant’s Friends Active.
New York, Jan. B.—Mr. Cyrus W. Field
nays that he does not know what course will
be pursued in relation to the proposed fund
for the protection of Gen. Grant's interest.
Ho could say nothing until he had seen a-id

that Mr. Field and the gentlemen who are in
terested in the affairs of Gen. Grant will
make an organized effort to have congress
pass an act this winter restoring him to active
service iu the army with his old rank of gti*

FIGHTING FOR A FORTUNE.
A Nephew (Succeeds in Defeating His
Aunt.
Pittsburg, Jan. ‘J.— The supreme court has
just bauded down a decision in the case of
Edward Knllj", jr., who has been in litigation
with bis aunt, Mrs. Bridge Kelly, for suven
years about the property his uncle left. The
latter was an octogenarian, worth about S4(X),-
000. He first gave all to his nephew and then ,
was induced by his young wife to deed it j
all to her. Hence the law proceed- j
mgs. He met his wife at a friend’s
house, made her presents, and finally
married her. She controlled all his actions,
according to the testimony in the courts.
The nephew was willing to divide the estate
with her. but she wanted it all, and 'he case
was taken into the courts. The supreme
court now decides in favor of tho nephew.
The matter will not rest here, however, and
more litigation as to the validity of the will
will follow. When Mr. Kelly, sr. f was alive (
his estate was worth about $450,000. The
property has decreased in value, however,
and is now estimated at from $200,000 to
$250,000.
Mr. Kelly was a man of industrious habits
and a sharp, keen and successful business
man. He was first a contractor, but finally
engaged in the real estate business. He mar
ried early iti life and his wife died, leaving
him one son, who was killed. Tho old man j
then was a widower, childless, and aboi*' !
seventy two years of age. He went to hM
nephew, Edward, in Ireland, to induce bin
to come to this couutry and take up his rewi
donee with him, promising to make him bis j
heir. Induced by the offers of lis
uncle, he left his home and carie
to Pittsburg, The old man o*n- ;
veyed his entire property to his
nephew, providing for himself, however, an
income during his natural life. He was in
duced subsequently by his young wifo to
make another will and draw up new deeds in ;
her favor, appointing the Rev. Father B. G.
Mai linger executor. This was followed by
the legal controversy. The case went from
court to court, until finally the supreme court j
reversed the decision of the lower courts and
placed Mrr Kelly in possession of a handsome
fortune.
The Campbell Case.
Cincinnati, Jan. 9. —At tho disbarment
proceedings of Mr. T. 0. Campbell in the dls
trict court, before Judge Maxwell, Mr. E- i
W. Kittredge made the argument again*; j
the accused saying: “The case is important
to the respondent, yet the punishment to him, !
if convicted, is infinitely mild compared to j
that ordinarily administered upon convicted j
criminals. But the importance of the case is j
not measured by the consequences to Mr. j
Campbell. In the trial for the disbarment of j
Judges Barnard Carduzo and McCune, the j
object attained was the putting an end to the
p-micicious and wicked metfabds of admin
istering justice in that New York j
supreme court. The object to bo at tained by j
the present trial is the putting an n<i to j
wicked and pernicious practices at the bar of 1
Hamiln n county. Regarded in this light, no j
more Important case has ever occupied the \
ttenti nos thy court. A gwu reproach has
for years rested upon the administration of :
justice iu thss county It had come to be |
more significant in a cause, who wore the ’
jury and'who was the counsel than what was
the cause. Campbell has been deemed j
the head and front of this offense. .
A preponderance of evidence, and not evi- j
deuce beyond a reasonable doubt, is what
must deckle the ease, allowing in that baianc- j
ing of evidence the legal presumption of the j
innocence of tho accused.” He then went into !
an elaborate and evhaustive review of |
tie* charges against the accused, and was ]is- j
ten 1 to with the closest attention by a vast
audience.
The Springer Investigation.
Cincinnati, Jan. 9. —Among those pres
ent as spectators at tho meeting of the ;
Spri:i::.-r investigating committee to-day was j
Jr.d.„a* Whitman, who would answer in his !
make up for Rip Van Winkle. He is the '
gentleman who years ago resolved nevu to |
cut his hair until a democratic president j
should he elected, but he hasn’t cut it yet. J
The fight is now practically on, and the effort ;
on both sides is directed to show up on the
democratic side the arbitrary actions of Mar
sha! Wright and arbitrary actions of his
marshals, and on the other the most graphic
pictures possible of the aggressive measures
of tho democratic party, and the warlike
preparations of the roughs of the city. It is [
apparent that all are looking beyond Wright
to the question of the validity of the election. |
Mr. Chari s W. Baker being called to testify,
said:
October 14 I went to United States court
room at 8:45 a. m., and was there until 4
o’clock; J saw an unusual state of affairs; the
court space proper was filled with a motly j
crowd, colore 1 and white men, mostly col- !
ored. To well Clayton was there directing ;
matters: I told Mr. Richards it was an extra- j
ordinary proceeding; first time I interfered!
was when Alex. Sullivan, of Chicago, and a I
man named Bolan, deputy marshals, wanted j
to take the democratic judge at the polling. 1
place in ward eight; I expressed my seif vig- !
orously, saying I did not think Chicago 1
toughs ought to run the Cincinnati election.
Mr. Richards said he would not allow the re
moval of the democratic judge, unless at the
instance of the democratic supervisor.

COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, SUNDAY IORNING, JANUARY 11, 1885.
OLD HICKORY’S HOLIDAY
DEMOCRATS FROM ALL OVER OHIO
VISIT COLUMBUS
To Honor the Stubborn Old Hero—Rem
iniscences of Old Hickory A Parallel
Between Him and His Successor,
Grover Cleveland.
Columbus, Jan. 9.— This is St. Jackson’s
day, and Columbus is observing it wdth the
democratic sons of Ohio, who honor the dead
hero, and tho city is literally overrun with
distinguished democrats from all sections of
the state.
Each democrat who sat in tho banqueting
hall to-night, and heard the clatter of dishes,
clink of glasses and the speeches, paid $5
for the privilege.
, Little business was done in either branch of
the legislature to-day. House passed the bill
permitting the governor to send juvoniles to
the reform farm before going to the peni
: tentiary.
Senator Payne was given an ovation on en
tering the hall. All the members clustered
around him, shaking his hands warmly.
Upon joint resolution the legislature ad
journed.
The afternoon was devoted to ft leaking.
As it is St. Jackson’s Day something about
old Hickory is in order. One cau find barrels
of biography about him, and yet it is not
new.
However gaily Columbus rnay celebrate his
victory, the fact remains that Jackson never
visited the capital of Ohio. It was common,
however, for him to go back and forth from
his home to Washington by steamboat to
Maysville or Pittsburg, aud complete the
journey overland.
In 1817 he went through Somerset and
I Zanesville with a carriage. His coining was
! known in advance, and his political enemies
I cut down trees across tho road to impede his
passage. He was red with rage, and gel ting
j out, went for miles on horseback, allowing
hxo carriage to follow as best it could. He
was so mad that he did not stop in tho old
town of Zanesville, but rode silently through
the streets, heeding neither triend or foe
“The last time I saw him was on a steam
boat later,” said Colonel Flood. “Just at
the close of our second term he sent my name
1 to the senate, nominating me for the position
of land register at Marietta. It came too
■ near the end for confirmation, but V: n Buren
renewed it, and I was confirmed later on. 1
| narrowly missed having Jackson’s name on.
I my commission, and I would have given
I much to have it there.”
Referring to the scandal about Jackson’*
i marital relations, Colonel Flood say*: “She
! was a smart woman, well educated and all,
j but she was considered very plain, almost
| homely. She was short, heavy-set. and with
swarthy features Yet General Jackson
; thought she was the handsomest wo
man on earth. No one dare say a word
about her, for he defended her with his life.”
| There have been many historical and polit
ical parallels made recently, but has anyone
thought of the coincidences concerning Jack
son and Cleveland? Jackson was assailed
with charges of immorality similar to those
j made against Cleveland. These same charges
no doubt killed Mrs. Jackson, who died a
j short time after she knew that her husband
j had been elected presiden. Her own charac
ter had been assailed and the circumstances
: of her marriage distorted as only political en
| emies can distort. Another coincidence i*
! that Jackson was elected with 219 electoral
' votes, the same number which elected Cleve
land. Like Jackson, Cleveland is described
as very obstinate and determined.
Socialists In Chicago.
Chicago, Jan. 9. —There are 2,000 armed
socialists in this city. One of the leaders said
yesterday: “These are the Lehr Und Wehr
Verein, the Bohemian Sharpshooters and the
Jaeger Verein. The largest of these is the
first named. When the law of 1879 went into
| effect prohibiting us to parade with our rifies
the Lehr Und Wehr Verein had about 1,000
| members. Since then the organization has
! been kept up, but secretly. They drill now
in halls, the location of which is changed with
almost every new date of meeting. Within
the past year the accessions have been large.
Each man owns bis outfit, rifle and all, and
keeps it at home. The Bohemian Sharpshoot
ers are a splendidly armed and drilled body,
and the same is true of the Jaeger Verein.
| You may be sure of one thing. We’ll not
stand by and see the workingmen shot down
i in the streets like wild beasts, aa was done
once. ”
A Furious Oil Fir*.
Lancaf”~er, Pa., Jan. 9.—A thrilling inci
dent occurred at liarnish’s station, this
county, betweeen 2 and 3 o’clock yesterday
j afternoon, at which time it was discovered
| that the pipe of the Standwd Oil Co.’s line
j had burst. Great quantifies of the oil ran
! into a gulf near by. A force of workmen at
j once endeavored to stay the flow of oil, and
j while thus engaged the >il was accidently ig
-1 uited. A great many f arrels of oil were con
! sumed before the flame* could be subdued,
! and so furious were the flames aud so intense
tho heat that D. M. P.uffenmeyer, a passenger
on a Quarryvil.e train, in thrusting his head
out of a car window a* the train passed the
scene, had his face scorched and his hair
singed. The occurrence has revived the feel
ings of animosity against the pipe line, the
presence of which is a constant menace to the
6afety of property and persona
Half a Turkey a Day for a Month.
Laurel, Del., Jan. 9.—William Warring
ton, of Sussex county, has just finished the
task of eating thirty partridges in thirty days
fur a SSO wager with Hotelkeeper Melvin. A
second wager has been made between the
same men for SIOO that Warrington cannot
eat fifteen twelve pound turkeys in a month,
the loser to pay $35 additional for the cost of
the turkeys. Warringron began his task to
day, and ate his half turkey with apparent
relish.
A Bad Place for Smallpox.
Portland, Ore., Jan. 9.— A case of small
pox has broken out among the passengers on
the Oregon short line emigrant car waiting at
Huntington, Oregon, for the snow blockade
to be raised. All the exposed passengers will
be quarantined until the 21st inst. If new
cases should break out the quarantine will be
extended until the danger is over. A Union
Pacific surgeon is in charge.
Summer Fruit from Florida.
New York, Jan. 9.—Fresh strawberries,
new tomatoes, and crisp green cucumbers
have appeared in the market The berries
cost about ten cents each, the love apples—
that had a fair, firm, delicately colored slun
—sold at fifty cents for a very small box, and
the cucumbers came in the usual crate com
monly seen in midsummer.
Following Victories Example.
Wheeling, W. Va., Jan. 9.—Considerable
flurry has been caused in society circles by
the discovery of the elopement of Emma
Brannon, daughter of the lion. Henry Bran
non, judge of the judicial district, anil James
Wholley, an Irish laborer. The girl was but
sixteen and the man ni aeteen years of age.
They were married In Pennsylvania 4ft)
miles from here*
CAN WOMEN HOLD OFFICE?
Pcttlbly They Can, Judge McAdam Thinks,
if Men Would Only Elect Them.
New York, Jan. 9.—ln a suit pending in
tho city court between William C. Findlay
and Leander H. Thorn and others, the de
fendants served a reply sworn to before Jen
nie Turner as notary public. The plaintiff’s
counsel returned the reply as being unveri
fied. A motion was then made before chief
justice McAdam on the part of defendants to
compel acceptance and the judge granted t he
motion in a decision made by him yesterday.
He says that Miss Turner is in pos
session of her office and her title
cannot be questioned except in a di
rect proceeding brought by tho attor
ney general. He then discusses the
right of women to hold office. He
says that the question whether a woman is
capable of holding public office has never
been decided by the courts of this state, and
is a question about which legal minds may
well differ. The constitution regulates the
right of suffrage, and limits it to “male” citi
zens. Disabilities are not favored and are
seldom extended by implication, from which
it may be argued that if it required the in
sertion of tho term “male’’ to ox lade female
citizens of lawful age from the ri ;ht of suf
frage, a similar limitation would bo required
to disqualify them from holding offk e. Citi
zenship is a condition of status, and has no
relation to age or sex. It may be contended
that it was left to the good sense of the ex
ecutive and to the electors to determine
whether or not they would select women for
office, and that the power being lodged in
safe hands was beyond the power of abuse
If, on the other hand, it be seriously con
tended that the constitution by necessary im
plication disqualifies women from holding
office it must follow as a necessary conse
quence that the act of the legislature permit
ting women to serve as school officers, and
nil other legislative enactments of like im
port removing such disqualification, are un
constitutional and void. It may also be
argued that if the use of the personal pro
noun “he” in the constitution does not ex
clude women from public office its use in the
statute can have no greater effect. “I make
these observations,” the judge added, “for
the purpose of showing that the question
whether women are eligible to public office
in this state is not entirely free from doubt
and should not, therefore, be decided where
it arises, as it does here, incidentally and col
laterally.”
THE LIBERTY BELL
The Pomp and Ceremony With Which It
Will Start for New Orleans.
Philadelphia, Jan 9. —The date of the
departure of the Liberty bell from tiiis city
on its journey to New Orleans has beee
changed from January ‘24 to the 23d, the day
on which Mayor Smith has signified
his intention of arriving in New
Orleans. The departure wiil be accom
panied with great pomp and ceremony. The
bell will be escorted from Independence
Hall to the Pennsylvania railroad station, at
Thirty-first and Market streets, by 5-IKJ police
men and the committee of the council. At
tho station it will be placed in a car which
is now being built for its reception by the
Pennsylvania railroad company. The bell
will rest in the centre of the car under a red,
white and blue canopy. The sides of the car
will be open, and at one end will be a com
partment for the accomodation of the three
officers who form the guard. On one side
will be emblazoned the word “Philadelphia,”
and on the other “New Orleans.' Each side
will bear the legend, “Proclaim Liberty
Throughout the Land.” The car will be run
into tho exhibition grounds, and the bell will
not be disturbed until its return to this city.
The train will make thirteen stops, symbolic
of the thirteen original stages, during the
trip between this eiyy and New Orleans. A
telegram from that city to-night said that
preparations were making to give the bell a
grand reception, and that three policemen of
tiie Crescent City had .been appointed to co
operate with the Philadelphia officers in
guarding it.
Curious Church Complications.
Philadelphia, Jan. 9. —Application was
made several weeks ago by an organization
calling itself the “J. Eliuar Mira Metta Con
gregation of the Lord,” worshiping in a
house on South Eleventh street, for a char
ter, the object being to restrain the heirs of
the founder of the new sect, Miss Anna Meis
ter, from taking possession of tho building.
They had made over the property to Miss
Meister, but claim it was only done in order
that she might hold it in trust. Her heirs
took a different view of it, and now claim it
as theirs. They claim, in a bill they have
filed, that the object of the congregation is
not the support of public worship, but the
maintenance of an idolatrous worship of the
said Miss Meister “as oi e of the persons of
the Trinity.” Tho case, will be called for
trial in a few days.
Must Stand Trial.
Chicago, Jan. 9. —Judge Blodgett has
overruled the motion to quash the indict
ments in the cases against Mackin et al. for
complicity in the eighteenth ward election
fraud. After consultation with Judge Gary
his honor ordered a special venire for the
grand jury to investigate the election frauds
and orders that twenty-three good men
selected from all political parties shall be
summoned.
The trial of the election judges, clerks and
William J. Gallagher will follow in the order
named. All the defendants except Gleason
are ordered by the court to plead. The pres
ence of Mackin, who is in Springfield, was
decided by the court to be unnecessary, as he
could plead by counsel.

$lO additional for every mount, the latter
compensation to bo $25, provided the horse
he rides wins. He will be allowed to accept
other engagements when his services are not

$5,000 a year. He was formerly a bootblack
in this city.

Letters from an Albany Lady Found Aftei
G. A. Benson's (Suicide.
Lawrknoeville, Ga., Jan. 9.—George A.
Benson, of Philadelphia, who committed 6ui*
cide here Saturday morning, was a sou of th*
head of tho house of Benson & Townsend.
He was under arrest on a charge of cheating
and swindling. He stopped at the Mark
ham House in Atlanta for thret
weeks On his departure he had n<
money and gave the proprietor a check on
his house for SIOO and received the difference
of about SSO. At the same time he gave a
second check for SIOO, saying that when they
were cashe 1 to notify him at Lawreucevilli
and he would draw on them for the money.
The checks were dishonored, hence the war
rant. Mr. Benson said while under arrest
that they would have boon honored if bii
father had b*-»an in the bouse at the time, lie
was hero on a visit to E. D. Herrin.
One evident cause of suicide was his want
of means. But another was a love affair.
The coroner turned over to Mr. Herrin, ai
the most intimate friend of the dead man, a
batch of eighty-s f x letters from Miss R. A.
Larrabee, a daughter of J. Larrabee, mem
ber of the firm of J. Larrabee & Co., of Al
bany, N. Y. Her letters are perfect gems of
literature, replete with the expressions of the
most ardent and intense devotion. It seems
from them that a ripple had broken their
love, no one can tell what, but she loved and
adored h;m still. Bbe i* a young lady of
culture and refinement and moves in the high
est circles of New York society. In one of her
letters she writes of having been invited to re
ceive la»t February at the white house with
Mrs McElroy, sister of President Arthur,
and her daughter, together with the cabinet
ladies. They were engaged to be married
last April, but shadows came between them
which seemed to forbid their union and the
later letters are filled with expressions of de
spair. The body has been sent to Philadel
phia, and the letters have been suut by ex
press to the young lady in Albany.
Albany, Jan. 9.—J. A. Benson, of Phila
delphia, who committed suicide at Lawrence
ville, Ga., was a friend of the Larrabee fam
ily of this city. Mr. Larrabee refused t
give any information regarding the deceased.
He Chose a Nobler Field.
Ottawa, Jan. 9.—lt has just becoms
known that Quebec has been the refuge of
one of France’s most prominent statesmen,
M. Savary, formerly under secretary of
state, against whom judgment is held in
Franco for having violated certain laws re
ferring to banking firms of that couutry. A
few days ago the proprietors of Le Canadian,
a newspaper, gave a dinner to a number of
prominent gentlemen, and the response oi
Quineault, editor of the paper, to cer
tain toasts, displayed such ability of
thought, and such familiarity with French
affairs, that inquiries into Quin< suit’s person
ality began to bo made. It i i Iced out
that he was the renowned Quiiu-.dult Savory,
the former under secretary, but now a refu
gee, and the acting literary editor of i
French local journal. He is living iu Quebec

Baltimore, Md., Jan. 9.—The report pub
lished in a Wheeling paper and telegraphed
extensively throughout the country recording
the arrest at Grafton, W. Va., of Mrs. Burks
on a charge of attempting to wreck a passen
ger train on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
has no foundation, in fact, what purported
to be a detailed account of the. dastardly at
tempt at train wrecking was recorded with
great minuteness, the imaginative individual
who wrote the story being determined appar
ently not to permit facts to Interfax with ni
presenting the thrilling account to the pub
lic,. General Superintendent Clements of the
Baltimore and Ohio has telegraphed head
quarters here denouncing the whole story a*
a fabrication.
