Los Angeles. "Trusts arc respon sible for tho great rise in prices in all directions, and undoubtedly for tho cost of foods. The spirit of this commercial age has been combine, and this combine has run riot." Thus Andrew Carnegie with one thrust went to the heart of the high cost of living. He did not weep over the spectacle. He faced It as a fact and hoped that the remedy for it would bo forthcoming. , Carnegie reached Los Angeles Fri day afternoon. With him was his wife and their daughter, Margaret. Tho party was escorted by Carnegie's old friend, Charles L. Taylor of Pitts burg. "Roosevelt Is a genius. He is the greatest man. In a political way, In the world," continued the Bteel man. He is a wonderful statesman. He Is a straightforward, true man who Is not capablo of doing an underhand trick. "Yes, I think Mr. Taft is carrying out the Roosevelt policies. He s working them out In his Individual way." Mr. Carnegie sidestepped any ref erence to a "return from Elba." but said: "I am going to meet Mr. Roose velt In London, May 15. I had a tele gram from him Just before I left New York. "Yes, trusts have done their part In tho raise of prices," continued Mr. Carnegie, "but so ha everyone else In the selling business. True, the trusts started It. But the little fel lows, that Is, the retailers, have come In strong. Every fellow wants his rakeoff. "Combine is in the air. Everyone during the past 10 years lias caught the spirit and has gone mad with It. That has brought tho country to the pinnacle of high prices. "But I am confident things will be right. I believe the court of com merce proposed by President Taft will prove a solution of the high price tangle. Combines have good points, but they must be regulated. A court of commerce Is a necessity and It will be made a fact." New York. Because he; was the one of a large class of public school boys who was not promoted, little Kummle Thompson, 15 years old, hanged himself to the head of his bed at his home In Brooklyn, The Instrument of death he select ed was the strap with which he had carried his school books during the term. After school closed the boy, with his head low and his eyes on the ground, dragged himself to his home at Wlnthrop street and Old Clove road. "She didn't promote me," he said bitterly to his mother. "I was the only kid left back." "How do you ever expect to be an engineer, like your papa, If you don't pass in your school examinations?" the mother asked. She says she tried to he gentle with him and only hoped to encourage him to better efforts next term. The boy said something about being afraid to meet his father, who Is the engineer in charge of the county buildings in Flatbush, and whom the lad Idolized. Mrs. Thompson paid little- attention when he said he'd go upstairs to try to sleep. At 5 o'clock the mother sent his younger sister Ida to call him. She got no answer, and could not open the door. An elder brother broke It open. They found the youngster dangling from the head of the bed, to the post of which he had tied his book strap. MRS.

BOISE WILL REALIZE HEli DREAMS OF MANY YEARS Payette, Idaho. The people of this valley look forward to a very prosper ous year on account of the new rail road which will be built during 1910 and 1911 by the Central'Idaho Rail road company. This line branches off from the Oregon Short Line at Owlnsa. This new line will run through fertile valleys and will be used for the through trains of the Oregon Short Line, realizing the per ennial dream of Boise, putting It on the main line. It will conect with the Short Line again at Payette. With Payette a Junction point for two main lines, considerable business will naturally come to the yards here. Payette haB hopes of being made a division statlen. This new line will have a maximum grade of 1 per cent as against the maximum grade of 2.4 per cent on the present Short Line. This means that a great per cent of the freight business will be haulde on the new line. Payette will have dally telegraph service during tho frost danger peri od this spring, as most of the fruit growers have Installed smudge pots and with this new sorvlce there should be a good crop of apples and other fruit this year. Pasadena, Cal. Hundreds of let ters begging for financial assistance have been pouring Into Pasadena ad dressed to Mrs, Russell Sage, widow of the late New York financier, who arrived here a few days ago for "rest." A great package has been added to a pile which Major Slocum, her nephew, estimates at 500 In num ber. Most of the epistles have not been opened. Thus far only two of them have been given to Mrs. Sage to peruse. The remainder probably will not be read for some time. Speak ing of the flood of letters asking for aid. Major Slocum said: "Mrs. Sage Is not In any sense In public life. Th!s continuous string of letters asking for money Is annoying her. She will not pretend to give them heed." Mrs. Sage and her party are at the Raymond cottage. She expects to re main here two months before return ing to the east. North Yakima.

AUSTRIAN ARMY OFFICER VICTIM OF SECRET COURT Vienna. - Lieutenant Hoffrichter. the young officer who is accused of being the author of the Austrian army poison plot, has already learned how severe an Inquisition can be. 'So un mltlgatedly severe has it been in the lieutenant's case that he is in a criti cally nervous condition In his cell. The method of the secret court is cal culated to break the spirit of almost any accused individual whether he be Innocent or guilty, and drugs are at this time being administered to Hof frighter in order to avoid a total col lapse. The court's idea seems to have been to force a confession from the prison er, although this has not been accom plished thus far. There Is no Jury In such cases, and the prisoner is al lowed no attorney, to aid him In the defense. Frau Holfrichter has asked that she may be allowed to give evidence In her husband's behalf, but has been told that she must wait "until more Important witnesses have been heard." GREECE MAY LOOK TO J. P. MORGAN FOR LOAN In spite of many warning examples, rich and prominent men will some times marry actresses. Athens. Greece needs money, and it is possible the great American fi nancier, J. P. Morgan, will be asked to float a loan of 160,000,000 drach mas $30,000,000. For political reasons Intimately connected with a desire to remain on good terms with Turkey, Great Brit ain and Germany seem anxious to place every obstacle In the way of the loan. Therefore the Greeks turn to America. France, it Is understood would un dertake to finance the loan but makes very onerous terms concerning the manner In which the money Is to be expended. The Interest will be guar anteed by the revenue of the rail roads constructed out of the product of the loan, the revenue derived from the surtaxes on tobacco and alcohol. thethe new revenue of sugar monop oly, and the surplus of the revenue attril-uted to the service of the pub lic debt. The loan Is specially des tined for railroad construction and Other public works and to the pay ments of the budget deficits from IS78 to 1909. The government is also authorized to raise a further loan of 60.000,000 drachmas at the rate of 5,000,00 drachmas per annum for the redemp tion of the national bank notes and to) assure the necessary gold reserve.
