POWDER TRUST'S FIXE WORK
Caught In Act of Secretly Transfer
ring Much Property.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. It was stat
ed at the Department of Justice today
that an amended bill had- been filed
by the Government In the powder trust
case at 'Wilmington, Del., alleging that
since the preparation of the Govern
ment's petition on or about July 7 last,
the E. I. Dupont de Nemours Powder
Company of Delaware traneferred a
large part of Its unsold finished prod
ucts and raw materials and things nec
essary to the operation of Its business
to the E. I. Dupont de Nemours Powder
Company of New Jersey.
The reason for this, the amended bill
says, was the discovery In the Record
er' office at Wilmington, of papers
Indicating such a transfer by one of
the three operating companies to the
holding company in the alleged powder
trust. It Is stated that these papers
disappeared, but the amendment was
persisted In. because It should have the
effect of requiring something to be
said In the answers of the defendants
to this supposed transfer.
After the amendment and a petition
had been sent to Delaware for filing,
the bill continues, the papers on yes
terday reappeared In the Recorder's
office and show that such a transfer
'was actually made on July 21, three
days before the petition In the case
was filed. In the meantime the Re
corder Is declared to have given his
certificate to the District Attorney that
.he had. no such papers.

deny that Eastern capitalists were at
tempting to get control of the Wiscon

QUEEN OF TRINIDAD CRAZY
Flagler's Daughter, Whose Husband
Created Monarchy Is Wreck.
NEW YORK, Aug. . The Baroness
Annie Harden-Hlckey, daughter .of
John H. Flagler, has been committed to
a sanitarium In Connecticut by order of
the Probate Court in Stamford. There
is said to be little hope of cure. Her
mental breakdown Is traced back to
the death of her husband. John H.
Flagler, her father, has been appointed
conservator of her fortune, which is
said to be almost entirely In Standard
Oil stock.
The baroness Harden-Hlckey was
Miss Annie Flagler. She married the
French nobleman in 1890. The Baron
was shipwrecked on the Island of
Trinidad and got an idea of becoming
king of Trinidad. He took the title of
James I, but England objected and a
cruiser of that country took away the
entire kingdom to the United States.
The baroness was queen of Trinidad
then for a time, the kingdom being
supported on her money.- When her
husband died she went abroad but was
brought back - from France to this
country, when her health began to be
Impaired. The baron committed suicide
in a hotel In El Paso. Texas, in 189S.
SEEKING A NEW HAVEN
Milwaukie Gamblers Slake Sheep's
Eyes at Vancouver.
WANTED Rural town that needs the
money. Must be free from pestiferous
preachers and must not sslc too many
questions. Applications from localities
having a purchasable district attorney will
be given first consideration. Apply to
management of 'Milwaukie Country Club.
This advertisement, while not yet regu
larly inserted in the advertising columns
of nearby newspapers, sums up the ambi
tions of the gamblers who have been run
out of their oldtime stronghold up the Will
amette. A new location is wanted and
wanted badly. The wily sucker has al
ready had four long days to himself and
if given too much time may get into the
habit of spending his own money rather
than contributing it to the support of a
lot of worthless. Idle, dissolute gamblers.
It is said the knights of the green table
have their eyes on Vancouver, Wash.
This town is by no means out of nailing
distance of the valuable Portland brand
of sucker, . and there are a few choice
fish at Vancouver,, too, no doubt. - The
Washington laws are very strict regard
ing gambling, to be sure. In that state
it Is a felony to gamble, but then that's
only a state law and provided it wasn't
enforced by some local official, might
not count for much. It is known that
a delegation of gamblers visited Van
couver yesterday and their mission would
seem to be obvious.
Gambling Is now at a standstill and the
army1 of touts, sallowfaced dealers, cap
pers and loungers may be noted about the
clgarstands and saloons. The light has
gone out of the lives of. those who have
followed the thing long enough to become
Its abject slaves. Gambling is no less
exacting of its victims than narcotics and
opiates. None are more loyal than the
subjects of Dame Chance.
The boys' who played the ponies as
often as they had a cent are thrown into
despair by the closedown. They have
nothing to do with their money now but
to spend It in paying overdue board bills.
There does not appear to be any system
atic way of playing the races now, ex
cept through handbook bets on the
streets, which will hardly appeal to ordi
nary race horse gamblers.
Just where the next stronghold of the
gambling fraternity will be is a matter of
some speculation. The belief prevails,
however, that the games are a thing of
the past. Several years ago when the
Portland Club and other notorious gam
bling dens were closed in Portland the
brigade of touts and professionals hung
about town until they were starved out,
firm in the belief that the authorities did
not mean business. Possibly they will
go again when the 'call of the stomach
lures them to another state.

WORK TO REACH SETTLEMENT
Alabama Governor and Railroad
Men Hold Conference.
MONTGOMERY. Ala.. Aug. 6. The out
look for a peaceable settlement of the
controversy between the Southern Rail
way and the state appeared good today.
Vice-President Russell of the Mobile &
Ohio representing President Finley of
the Southern, was In conference with
Governor Comer and . it is thought an
amicable arrangement could be reached.
Two plans, it Is said, were suggested.
one by which the railroad wtould be al
lowed to withdraw the suit taken to the
Federal Court and the other that a test
case be made and both abide by the de
cision. The Governor would not say what had
been done or whether or iiot an agree
ment had been discussed. He said that
everything was very cordial and later
the matter would be gone into further.
It is understood here that the confer
ence today wag arranged by Senator-elect
Joseph J. Johnstone and that he Is help
ing in every way possible to bring about
a settlement. -.

AGREE TO QUICK DISPATCH
Railroads at Last Offer Concessions
to Steamship Lines.
NEW YORK, Aug. . The important
conference now being held between rep
resentatives of the trunk lines and the
trans-Atlantic steamship service in which
shippers are taking a limited part In the
discussion of the general question of
despatch of freight, is said to have al
ready brought about a better understand
ing and may result in an agreement.
For the first 'time In their history the
railroads have made a direct proposition
for steamship freight zones with a ten
tative agreement to deliver freight at New
York from each of these zones within a
given time say ten days from Buffalo. 20
from Chicago and 30 from Minneapolis.
A member of the Produce Exchange com
mittee said that, unless an agreement on
the' question of "reasonable dispatch"
was reached during the conferences, the
whole question would be taken before the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Find Defects In Fruit Cars.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 6. The Call
says the Southern Pacific has finally dis
covered the causes of the many freight
wrecks that have occurred with discon
certing frequency of late. The side bear
ings of about 600 new cars, built on the
order of the Southern Pacific for the Pa
cific Fruit Express, are faulty and must
be altered from 60-inch centers .to 48-lnch
centers. This difference, though slight,
has been the cause of many disasters.
The cars will not stay on the rails when
rounding curves.
Car experts from Chicago, St. Louis,
Sacramento and San Francisco have com
pleted their examination of the cars and
have reported their findings to the com
pany. There can be no doubt, they say,
that the faulty side bearings have caused
the wrecks. The Pacific Express cars
have been sent to Sacramento and others
on the way from the builders have been
ordered back for alterations.
