HIDDEN PU2ZLE PIOTURE Chicago dispatch: Members ot tho Illinois Manufacturers' association, to the number of nearly 200, unanimously; adopted a resolution at their banque| Friday night in which they voiced their desire for the construction of a deejt water way by the government connect^ ing the great lakes and the Gulf of Mexico, and urged the senators and congressmen from this state to use every honorable means in their power to secure an appropriation by congress for the work. The resolution as read by Captain H. Smith ot Aurora, president of the Western Wheel Scraper Company, ' following the address of Congressman Madden, in which he urged the people of the south to unite with the people of the middle west to secure a great water way connecting the lakes with the gulf for freight and government vessels. He declared that it would con- ' stitute a section of the interstate com­ merce law that would never be re­ pealed and whose ability to fix and regulate freight rates none could ques­ tion or gainsay. The resolution concluded with the declaration that every immediate ef­ fort should be exerted to secure the necessary appropriation for the con­ struction of the water way, to the end that it may be opened to the shipping of the nation simultaneously with the opening of the Panama canal to the shipping of the world. A copy will be sent to each Illinois senator and rep­ resentative. In the course of his address Con­ gressman Madden said that the freight rate from Boston to Atlanta was no more than that charged from Boston to Chicago and the distance to the southern city was twice as great. The reason why the railways make the rate half as cheap as that to Chi­ cago," he said, "is that they have to compete with the ship freight rates of the Atlantic coast. We do not have the advantage of such competition and consequently our freight costs -as more." In speaking of the proposed con­ struction of a waterway for freight vessels he declared that every man that believes in fair play should aid In securing such a passageway and ex­ ert his influence In the fight aga!j|Sit arbitrary and unfair freight rates.

The people should be protected from the aggressions of these powerful corpor­ ations Into which they have breathed the breath of life. I believe we must have a restraining Influence over the transportation lines for the protection of tlie various parts of the country. Mr. Madden said that the time had come when the government should ex­ ercise control over the large corpora­ tions, and especially the transporta­ tion lines, and advocated that congress pass a law giving the interstate com­ merce commission power to readjust rate whenever a complaint Is made if It .Is unjust, and that the commis­ sion have authority to put the new rate in immediate force.

')lTUi.iT|.ljll Dayton, O., special: No such wierd poisoning plot has been unearthed in years as the sensational charges now showering thick and fast upon Dr. Oli­ ver Haugh, a Dayton physician who is charged with murdering his father, mother and brother by poison and then setting fire to their home to hide evidence of the crime. Police authorities in Dayton and other cities are trying to fasten Upon Haugh the poisoning of a dozen women whom he has either married or duped and who are said to have died mys­ teriously. A fiend of drugs, morbid and insane at times, this man, accord­ ing to Coroner Kline, has poisoned his victims slowly and with the cunning cruelty of a Borgia. Dr. Hermann, ex- coroner of Lima, refused to look at the alleged murderer. Hermann has just given out an eigh­ teen months' secret held by him for the honor of the family name. From the lips of his dying sister, he says, he heard the denunciation. of Haugh as her alleged murderer in Lorain in April, 1904. Claims to Have Evidence. Hermann has a bundle of evidence against the Dayton physician, who first made his appearance here in January, 1904. Under the guise of treatment for Mrs. Twohey for a lifelong trouble Haugh is said to have won her affec­ tion, love and control. The treatment consisted of "ocaine only, Hermann says. The woman gave Haugh much chattel property and he promised to marry her and would have done so probably had not the Hermann family stopped It. Haugh and Mrs. Twohey then disap­ peared, she saying she was going to u hospital. Weeks later the health authorities found her in Lorain with Haugh. Shortly after this she died very mysteriously. It is alleged Dr. Haugh made the woman a cocaine fiend by giving her small doses of the cirug and that he then systematically put hyoclne into her drinking water until death finally came to her. It Is further charged by Hermann that as soon as Mrs. Twohey died Haugh left, carrying with him $2,000 worth of jewelry. Killed at Least Nine Others. In ..addition to the alleged murder cf Mrs. Twohey It is charged by the coroner. Dr. Walter Klein, that Haugh >ip the murderer of at least nine peo- pie. It is charged that while living with a woman in Toledo he gave her hyocine, a deadly drug, and caused her death. This is alleged to have occurred several years ago. After his separation from his present wife, who is suing him for divorce, It is charged that Dr. Haugh went to Chicago, where he contracted a bigamous mar­ riage with a woman named Anna Pat­ terson. It is alleged this woman died a few months later under most mys­ terious circumstances which pointed to death by poisoning. Chicago police records show that on Anna D. Patterson died there of paralysis In 1894. On Oct. 13, 1899, another woman ot OLD "MAMMY" HELPS ELOPERS With Her Aid Senator Blackburn's Nephew Gets Young Bride. Louisville, Ky., dispatch: W. D.

These cases are regarded as of great importance by the Attorney Gen­ eral and will be pressed to as speedy hearing as a just regard for the inter­ ests of the defendants will permit. Other prosecutions are expected to fol­ low between now and the first of. the year and the program of the adminis­ tration to keep the subject of inter­ state commerce law prominently be­ fore the public while the rate legisla­ tion is pending will be carried out. ' Hope to Prove Rebating. The actions begun in the Wisconsin courts grow out of an investigation conducted by the commission during the past year, hearings being held at Chicago last May and In October. No finding was announced by the commis­ sion, but the facts developed were con­ sidered of such importance that they were submitted directly to the De­ partment of Justice for action. *The charge has repeatedly been made that the private car lines were generally used to cover rebating schemes by the railroads, and the commission expects to prove the charge in this case. In the prosecution of the case Dis­ trict Attorney Butterworth at Milwau­ kee will be assisted by Charles Quarles, brother of former Senator Quarles. Mr. Purdy, assistant to the Attorney General, and Assistant At­ torney General Pagin have also as­ sisted in the preparations of the bills that are to be filed to-day. Mr. Moody's Statement. Attorney General Moody made pub­ lic the following statement concern­ ing the suits: "This case arises out of the follow­ ing state of facts, which have been in­ vestigated by the interstate commerce commission, and by that body and also by private interests adversely affected brought to the attention of the Attor­ ney General, and by him carefully con­ sidered. "It appears that the Pabst Brewing company are large shippers of beer over the various railroads running from Milwaukee. Some of the princi­ pal stockholders of that corporation organized and own the Milwaukee Re­ frigerator Transit company, a cbrpora- tion operating private cars. To the latter corporation the control of the shipments of the Pabst Brewing com­ pany was given by an agreement en­ tered into between the two corpora­ tions named. Percentage Is Returned. "The various railroads mentioned as defendants, while receiving as freight money the open and published rates for the transportation of commodities, have paid to the transit company, in whose private cars the beer was trans­ ported, a commission of about 12 per cent upon the amount of the freight money collected, with the effect, of course, that -the net amount received for transportation by the railroad com­ panies is so much less than the pub­ lished and open rate. "This petition is designed to test the legality of such payment, and is brought under the provision of the so-called Elklns law, which provides that-a failure strictly to observe the published rates shall be a misdemean­ or, and further provides that 'it shall be unlawful for any person, persons or corporations, to offer, grant, or give, oi to solicit, accept, or receive, any lebate, concession, or discrimination, in respect to the transsportatlon of any property in interstate or foreign commerce, * * * whereby any such property shall, by any device what€frer, be transported at a less rate than that named in the tariffs pub­ lished and filed by the carrier.'M DIRECT CHARITIES OP 8TATE MEN KILL MAJOR IN A MUTINY Plan to Protect Salmon.

Jefferson City, Mo., dispatch: Insurance Superintendent W. D. Van- diver Wednesday night revoked the New York Life Insurance Company's license to do business in Missouri.

Mr. Vandiver stated he had found from an examination of the records of the investigation held by the New York legislative investigation commit­ tee that the New York Life has paid more than $1,000,000 for lobbying. This he regards as even more serious offense than the donations to Repub­ lican campaign funds confessed by President McCall. ^ Company Is Notified. Mr. Vandiver's formal notice is fts follows: "Notice is hereby given that, whete* as, Information in my possession andi verified by examination of the official stenographer's report of the recent examination of the officers of the New York Life Insurance Company of New' York by the legislative investigation committee of the state of New York, gives me reasonable cause to suspect > and I do suspect and believe that the funds of the said company have been impaired by the diversion of large sums of money for illegal and wrong­ ful purposes, and, that the further con­ tinuance of life insurance in this state, under its present management, is haz­ ardous to the public and to those. holding policies; therefore, I, W.
