JilBILAKT MARCH BACK
TO THE MILS BEGINS
Workers the Country Over at
Their Jobs Again.
BUSINESS BOOM SWEEPS ON
The Pace That It is Setting Is Awakening
the Whole Commerical and
Industrial World?Great Good
Already Done.
"BACK TO WORK" is the word
for many thousands of unemployed,
taken on In factories all over the
country as a result of the election.
New reports of the march back to
prosperity continue to come in day
by day.
Trade Revival in New England.
Boston.?The business inactivity
which marked the pre-election period
has given way with a rush in New
England, announcements of a resumption
of operations having been made
in all directions within the last few
days. Many industrial interests are
affected, although the reports indicate
that the textile concerns have
acted more promptly and in greater
numbers in ordering longer hours
and more operatives.
Other lines which already have arranged
for increased operations are
jewelry and rubber factories, thread,
yarn and knitting mills, machine and
tool matting pianis ana rauroau repair
shops.
Woolen jobbers report an unprecedented
rush of business since election
day. Tailors from all over New
England are coming to Boston and
placing orders for cloth, most of their
customers having held up their order?
for winter clothing until after
election.
The present rush Is so great that
woolen houses are working their
clerks overtime in an effort to catch
up with their orders, and woolens that
have been carried in stock many
months are being shipped so rapidly
that in some lines new goods cannot
be obtained fast enough to fill the
benches cleaned up by shipments.
New Haven, Conn.?Revival of Industrial
activity will be felt in Connecticut
in nearly every branch of
trade, particularly along the Naugatuck
Valley, which is the centre of
brass and copper goods manufacture.
The increase in orders to electrical
equipment concerns will immediately
be followed by active resumption on
full time of many plants in Waterbury
and Bridgeport, which turn out
fittings of copper used in electrical
machinery. In all the metal trades
a busy winter is expected, Interviews
with manufacturers at Waterbury Indicating
that inquiries for estimates
on contracts have begun. The Naugatuck
Valley was hit Hard by the
industrial depression, for more than
25,000 highly skilled workers in copper
and brass have been on part time
for months.
Bristol, R. I.?A full time schedule
was begun at the mills of the National
Rubber Company, where one
thousand hands are employed. The
Warren Manufacturing Company,
cotton goods, has also adopted a full
time schedule. ^
Winsted, Conn.?Conflrmation of
the report that the Mount Vernon
and Woodbury Cotton Duck Company
is to reopen its mills at New Hartford
has reached there. Officials of
the company inspected the property.
One thousand hands will be employed.
The company owns one section of the
town known as Dublin, comprising
besides its mill fifty dwellings, all of
which have been empty since the industry
was shut down.
Hartford, Conn.?There are unmis
takable signs of business activity all
over Connecticut since the election.
In New Britain, Hartford, New
Hartford and the smaller up-State
towns, where the business of the
woolen and silk mills provide thousands
with work, the same sentiment
prevails and already an improvement
In demand has been shown.
On the New Haven road, no doubt
the largest employer of labor in the
State, the increased operation of the
factories naturally results hi a greater
demand for railroad workmen. As
an example the company started its
big Readville repair departments on
a full schedule of six days a week.
About 1800 men will be benefited by
IVIi.
IU10 uuaugc.
In New York and Nearby States.
New York City.?New York building
trades have begun to benefit from
the wave of prosperjty that has swept
over the country since election. Paul
Starrett, of the Fuller Construction
Company, will within the next few
days put 200 men to work on two new
apartment houses in West Eightysixth
street.
In view of the marked revival in
\ Industrial activity, heads of the Eastern
trunk lines are now considering
he advisability of carrying into effect
the ten per cent, increase in
freight rates which has been under
discussion for the last five or six
months.
Schwartzenbach, Huber & Co., silk
manufacturers, have established a
new scale of increasing the wages of
employes in their West Hoboken and
Union Hill mills on an average of ten
per cent. Nearly 1000 hands are now
at work in the two mills. The silk
industry was very slack during the
summer.
Trenton, N. J.?Beginning the day
after election the mammoth plant of
the John A. Roebling Sons' Company
in Trenton, N. J., will be operated to
SIX KILLED IN COLLISION.

The men killed were Frank A. Furlong,
a brakeman, and five recent Immigrants
from Italy, employed as
laborers. The injured are all Italian
laborers. The names of the Italians
are not known here.
r- Chauffeur Sent to Jail.
At Pittsfield, Mass., Oscar westholm,
chauffeur for a wealthy Pittsfield
resident, has been sentenced to
.three months in jail for reckless driving.
Westholm ran into another
motor car at night, spilling its occupants,
two brothers, who complained
to the police.
Consolidation Railroads Planned.
Tentative negotiations for merging
the Toledo, St. Louis and Western.
Chicago and Alton, Minneapolis and
St. Louis, Iowa Central and Missouri,
Kansas and Texas railways are in
progress at St. Louis, Mo.
fts capacity fall time, with work
enough ahead to last for months,
much of which has been ordered or
released since election. ' One hundred
artisans will go to work in the rolling
mill, which has been idle for nearly
a year. Senator Frank 0. Briggs, assistant
treasurer of the company, declares
that the concern will be busier
than It has been for years.
One order just received from New
York will keep the Willetts potteryworks
running on full time for a year.
General C. Edward Murphy said that
his pottery plants would start work
on $275,000 worth of orders, all of
which had been held up pending election.
The Mott Iron Company has received
orders aggregating nearly a
quarter of a million dollars since election.
John S. Broughton has just
booked $50,000 worth of new orders
for his rubber mills, and the Trenton
Iron Company has opened with a full
force of men.
Pittsburg. ? The Berwind-White
Coal Company has closed contracts
for improvements at its many mines
to cost $500,000.
The Pittsburg papers carry adverHcomontc
fr>r Kflfl arirllHnnal miners
wanted by the Berwlnd-White people,
though they have had 7000 men at
work.
Harrlsburg.?It- was announced
here that the Pennsylvania Steel
Company has received an order for
25,000 tons of rails from the Atlantic
Coast line. These rails will be rolled
by the Maryland Steel Company at
Sparrow's Point. Fires were started
In the No. 1 blast furnace in the
Steelton plant. The furnace will be
placed in operation.
There were not enough men on
hand in the Connellsville coke field
in the Pittsburg district to satisfy the
coke concerns, and complaints of the
^scarcity of labor poured in on all
sides. An estimate published placed
the number of coke ovens firing at
3000. The coke labor shortage was
placed between 1000 and 2000 men.
In the South.
Richmond, Va.?It was announced
that the Virginia Railroad has ordered
nineteen iocomotives of the latest
model from the Richmond branch
of the American Locomotive Company.
This will necessitate the operation
of the plant, so long practically
idle, at full blast for months to
come. This announcement has created
a stir among the hundreds of
employes of the plant, who have been
idle for many weeks.
Other industries of lesser importance
throughout the State are noting
Improved business, and employes are
being reinstated in many factories.
With the impetus business has received
during the week, should it continue,
In a month conditions in Virginia
will be normal.
j The order for engines received by
the locQmotive works would seem to
Indicate that the capitalists behind
' the new Virginia Railroad, of whom
H. H. Rogers is the chief, are fully
confident that business throughout
the cpuntry will continue to improve.
! Local wholesale and" retail houses
report increased trading for the last
two days, some houses having sold
more goods in this time than within
the same period for the last six
months.
Atlanta, Ga.?Harvie Jordan, president
of the Southern Cotton Growers'
Association, in emphasizing his
belief that the price of cotton will
rise speedily, said:
"The national election is past, and
millions of dollars of orders for manufactured
goods have been placed in
the last few weeks. Raw cotton will
feel the Impetus given to other lines
of industry. While the ginners' reports
indicate a larger amount of cotton
ginned to date than at any previous
period in the history of the
Census Bureau, the ginnings for November
and the succeeding months of
the year will indicate a heavy falling
off. The total yield of this year will,
in my opinion, fall far short of 'the
two big crop years of 1904 and
1906."
New Orleans, La.?The only industry
in New Orleans to raise wages in
consequence of election is the Textile
Company, which controls the two big
cotton factories of this city and has '
1800 persons at work. A reduction
in the wages was made some time
ago; a large number of the employes
left, and the mills reduced their output.
Two days after the election
wages were raised twenty per cent,
and all the hands went back to work.
The increase applies also to Wesson
Mills, at Wesson, MIbs., which is controlled
by the Textile Company.
The election has had more immediate
effect in the matter of bringing
in money to New Orleans for investment,
this being due in part to greater
confidence, and in part to the adoption
of a constitutional amendment
exempting from taxation money advanced
on mortgages.
This has resulted already in the
investment of more than $3,000,000
in Louisiana mortgages, of which $1,000,000
goes to the erection of the
big Audubon Building. Another loan
was made by a New York life insurance
company to the city for constructing
schools. These loans served
to relieve the money situation here,
money being scarce and tight.
Farm Communities and
the Future of Trade,
Washington, D. C.?To-day, the
farmers of the United States have
I more money than at any previous
I time, and it is the belief of the mer
chants and railroad interests and
bankers that, as soon as the agricultural
districts commence to buy necessities
and luxuries in larger volume,
sales by both manufacturers
and jobbers will be increased. Stocks
of goods in distributors' hands
throughout the country are far below
the normal, and will have to be
replenished in the near future.

! WOMAN, ADOPTED CHILD
1 m MAN FOUND KILLED
Triple Tragedy Linked With Mysterious
Death a Year Before.
MOTHER'S VENGEANCE THEORY
It is Suggested She Used Razor, Believing
Her Son-in-Law Slew Hei
Daughter?Pittsburg Police Puzzled
by Case's Strange Features.
East Pittsburg.?A triple crime,
the inner history of which probablj
never can be known, was discovered
here by William Casey when he returned
to his home, in Fifth avenue,
shortly after midnight. On the bed,
her throat cut, lay his wife; beside
her, her head almost severed from
- j? i t .1.
me uuuy, my ireuw, sia jeai s uiu; t
whom Mrs. Casey had adopted aftei
the tragic death of her daughter a
year before. At first sight vieorgl
Hartzell, Mrs. Casey's son-in-law, api
peared to be missing. But the fumei
of chloroform led Casey to a trunk In
a corner of the room. Raising thd
lid he found the body of Hartzell;
Like the others, Hartzell's throat wa^
cut. A cloth that had been soaked Id
chloroform was wrapped about thd
head.
That little Irene had been an inno'i
cent victim -was plain, but there was
little to show which of the two others
was the murderer., A blood-staineq
razor that evidently had been used id
the killing lay on the bed beside Mrs.
Casey's body, and from that fact the
police built a theory closely connected
with the death of the woman's daughter.
They believe Mrs. Casey killed
Hartzell because she believed he, a
year before, had killed her child,
who, at the time of her death, had
been a bVide only a few weeks.
Young Mrs. Hartzell was killed In
her home by a pistol shot. Hartzell
was arrested, but told a story how his
wife had kissed him good-bye as he
was leaving the house to go to work
and then, running into another room,
had shot herself before he closed the
outer door. Mrs. Casey openly accused
Hartzell of the murder of his
bride, but she was unable to produce
proof,' knd' when the Coroner's jury,
brought in a verdict of suicide Hartzell
was released.
The widower went to live with the
<Jaseys, and, if the story told by the
police is true, Mrs. Casey from the
first hour he entered the house set}
all her woman's craft to the task of:
fastening the death of his wife upon1
him. She was thirty-seven years old!
and Hartzell twenty-two, and the two'
came to spend so much time together
that Casey became jealous and frequently
quarreled with his wife on
the score of her friendship for her
Ml-d f!aqpV. it is Said.
soothed her husband by telling him
she was seeking to trap Hartzell into
a confession that he had killed their
daughter, and the strange seeming
friendship continued and grew closer.
"If I ever can really satisfy myself
that George shot my child I will kill
him in cold blood with my own
hands," the woman is said to have
told her husband a few days ago.
Whether she actually learned anything
from the young man's lips probably
never will be known. The police
believe that, in her own words, she
"satisfied herself" pf his guilt, and,
after first trying to suffocate Hartzell
with chloroform, cut his throat with
the razor as he lay unconscious.
Then, crazed with the sight of the
blood and with the realization of
what she had done, it is believed she
killed the little girl and herself.
BOYCOTT STANDARD OIL.
People of New Riegel, Ohio, Resent
Opposition to Saloons.
Cleveland, Ohio.?The latest fight
on the Standard Oil Company has I
been begun in New Riegel, a town of
600, in Seneca County. It is peopled
largely by a liberal German element
which has no objection to saloons.
Recently there was a hot fight over
the liquor question, culminating in
the decision of the voters to let the
saloons stay. Residents of New
Riegel learned that John D. Rockefeller
had given financial aid to the
Anti-Saloon League. Nest time the
Standard's salesman went to the town
to look after his trade he was told
that no one would buy his oil.
The New Riegel people patronize
an independent refinery not far away.
Family Wiped Out by Tire.
The home of E. W. Carey, a farmer
living a few miles south of Swan
Lake, Manitoba, was destroyed by
fire, and Mrs. Carey, five children,
and a Miss Gillespie, a young school
teacher, who was staying over night
with the family, perished in the
flames. Mr. Carey was so badly injured
that he cannot recover.

TOBACCO TIM IS ILLEGAL
Three Judges Say That's the Way
Sherman Law Works.
Supremo Court Has Interpreted It
in Like Manner ? Injunction
Stayed Pending Appeal.
New York City.?Judges Lacombe,
Coxe and Noyes, of the United States
Circuit Court, handed, down opinions
in the Government's suit to dissolve
the, American Tobacco Company,
holding that the defendant combination
is in violation of the provisions
of tho Sherman Act relating to restraint
of trade. An injunction
against the maintenance of the combination
is granted with a stay pending
appeal. Judge Ward handed
down a dissenting opinion.
The Governments suit against the
so-called tobacco trust was begun
more than a year ago and the testimony
was taken before United States
Commissioner Shields.
In the three concurring opinions
the complaint, so far as it involved
tne imperial xoDacco company ui
Great Britain and Ireland and the
British-American Tobacco Company,
is dismissed. The injunction granted,
subject to stay, excepts also the
United Cigar Stores Company and
the R. P. Richardson, Jr., Company.
An appeal to the United States Supreme
Court will be taken at once.
The application for a receivership for
the defendants is denied "as impracticable
and wholly unnecessary."
Judge Lacombe concurs with Judge
Coxe in the latter's conclusions concerning
the United Cigar Stores Company
and the R. P. Richardson, Jr.,
Company, and adds: "I agree that
issuance of injunction should be suspended
until after decision on appeal."
In conclusion Judge Lacombe says
that there is an absence of persuasive
evidence that by unfair competition
independent companies were forced to
nsvll /Mif + a +V?a A *n Tnh
| OCil VUli IV IUC AlUCllUHU A vwuvvv
Company, nor does it appear that
there was any increase in the price of
tobacco products to consumers. Each
purchase of a company, however, was
a contract,'he says, and a combination
in restraint of competition which is
sufficient to "bring it (American To-,
bacco Company) within the ban of
this drastic statute."

RESULT OF POLITICAL FEUD
Ex-Senator Had Long Bcc-n Denounc- P
lng and Ridiculing Colonel Dun* $
, can B. Cooper, Who Was an An- C
ti-Prohibition Leader G
d
Nashville, Tenn.?Edward W. Car- G
mack, formerly United States Senator c
from Tennessee, editor of the Nash- c
ville Tennesseean, and one of the best s
known men in the South, was, shot t(
and killed here about 4 o'clock p. m.
by Robin J. Cooper, a young attor- t
ney, the son of Colonel Duncan B. C
Cooper. The tragedy occurred on ?
Seventh avenue, in front of the Polk t<
* ?ij T,
nomesieau.
The tragedy was one of the most
thrilling of the South, and the news, ^
flashed everywhere, owing to the 8
prominence of the victim, attracted r
widespread interest. .
The bitter feeling between Carv ^
mack and Colonel Cooper that led up c
to the shooting was due to political tl
rivalry. Carmack was defeated in C
the primary for Governor, and since ^
becoming editor of the Tennesseean
he has attacked the Democratic ma- ,
chine here. His criticisms were dl- fr
rected especially against Colonel
Copper, and he told Carmack there t,
would be trouble if the editorial at- t
tacks did not stop. As a reply Car- ?
mack printed an unusually caustic '
editorial In regard to Cooper.
Colonel Cooper's son took up hi*
father's' fight. When he and hia ^
father saw Carmack approaching the Q
son said he would settle the father's
score with the former United Statei y
Senator. Both father and son tool* j
their pistols from their pockets, and t
Carmack, seeing the glint of steel, t:
also drew his pistol. .'When the three e
men got within shooting distance of
each, other young Cooper began the a
shooting. His first shot struck Car- p
mack, but did not kill him. The edi- 0
tor fired at Cooper, and the bullet entered
the young man's shoulder. Be- n
fore Carmack was able to fire a second
time, the second bullet from
Cooper's pistol entered his heart, killing
bim instantly. - N
After Carmack had fallen to th{
sidewalk Colonel Cooper put his arn
about his son's shoulder and walked
with him to the office of Dr. R. G 1
Fort. The physician dressed the s
wound and Colonel Cooper and hi? "
son surrendered to the police. Th< ii
- - - " *- ?
Colonel was neia iu runte ncaunuaiters
and the son was sent to the hos- F
pital. Colonel Cooper's son Is a lawyer,
twenty-seven years old and un- w
married. . f;
Former United Spates Senator Car- A
mack was born nearCastlllan Springs, u
Summer County, Tennessee, on No- J
. vember 5, 185.8. s:
At the time of the tragedy Mr. Car- T;
mack was talking to Mrs. Charles H. ii
Eastman, of Nashville, the last words c
ever npoken by him being to fcer. o
.Mrs. Eastman said that when Mr s
Cbrm&ck was addressed he immediately
jumped to one side, so as to be o
clear of her, and so suddenly did the g
terrible truth dawn on her that she n
turned Into a gate.
Several shots rang put in rapid I*
succession. Mr. Carmack whirled o
around and seemed to try to catch at# f
at electric light.pole, but, missing It,* v
fell In a heap in the gutter, just at t
the edge of the sidewalk. He fell o
somewhat on his right side and was e
lying with one hand raised to his s
face. His revolver then fell to the e
street by bis side and was picked up c
and turned over to the police. Mr. 0
Carmack was probably dead when he
fell, ?8 two bullets had been fired J
Into his body. ' 1<
Just who fired first Wvill probably
be a matter of controversy, but the
shots were nearly simultaneous.
fiviAnrtn of the CooDers say that Car- I
mack drew his pistol and fired first.
Mrs. Eastman says he did not. The
nature of Carmack's wounds would t
indicate that he coVild not have used
his pistol alter being shot. t
Mrs. Eastman, who was accom-t
panled by J. M. Eastman, of New
York, gave the following account of
the shooting: t 5
/We were walking down Seventh
avenue in the direction of Church
street, and had just passed the en- _
trance to the Polk flats. Mr. Car- ,
mack came up the street toward us, i.1
smiling as he recognized me. He was ?
a few steps away and there were few
people in the street., Mr. Eastman =
and I were near the edge of the side- !:;
walk, and Mr. Carmack would have
passed between us and the entrance
to tQ6 DUUding. tie raiseu uis uai
as we spoke. He had his right hand
up and was about to make a remark
when somebody, apparently behind "
me, said, 'We've got you all right,'
or something to that effect. I can't
say positively what the exact wordh r
were. It never occurred to me that it g
was anything more than a friend be- u
hind me speaking, until Mr. Carmack
iraised his eyes, instantly put on his c
hat, and ran his hand back of him. I
Then the same voice said, 'You cow- c
ard, you are hiding behind a woman, C
are you?' Senator Carmack jumped
out 60 as to get clear of me and I
jumped into a gateway. I saw that
Mr. Carmack had a pistol. I turned t
and said, 'For God's sake, don't J
shoot.' But shots followed and I saw r
Mr. Carmack wheel and fall la a t
heap in the gutter."

3. Circuit Court of Appeals Denies
Government a Rehearing ia
Famous Rebate Case.
Chicago.?The Standard Oil Comany
will not have to pay the famous
29,240,030 fine. The United States
lircuit Court of Appeals, with Judges
rrossdup, Baker and Seaman sitting,
enied tho petition of the Attorneyreneral
for a rehearing of the deislon
handed down by Judge Groasup,
reversing the decision of United
tates District Judee Kenesaw Moun
ain Landis and remanding the case
3 his court for retrial.
Attorney-General Bonaparte inends
to take the case to the Supreme
!ourt of the United States on a writ
f certiorari. This is the last hope of
lie Government to force the Oil Trust
a pay the record rebating fine imosed
by Judge Landis.
In the opinion the Court took ocasion
to criticise sharply the Govr.-ment's
counsel for alleged miscontruction
of the Cpurt's previous
uling.
The great ,fine was imposed by
ujjge Landis on the Standard Oil
lompany of New Jersey, the parent
ompany of the Trust, after a jury in
tie court had found the Standard Oil
lompany of Indiana, a branch of the
'rust, guilty of rebating on 1462 '
ounts. The minimum fine in each
ount wag ?1000 and the maximum
20,000. Judge Landis gave the Oil
'rust the full limit, saying that "the
len who thus deliberately violate
his law wound society more deeply
ban do they who counterfeit the
oin or steal letters from the mail."
The denial of the Government peItion
as announced was based on the
rounds outlined bv Judee Gr03scun
:*ien he reversed Judge Landis and I
rdered a new trial.
In .the opinion of corporation lawers
the ground of error taken by
udge Grosscup is the worst blow to
be cause of the Government. It was
he evident plan of the Attorney-Genial
to force by constant heavy fines
tie subsidiary concerns of the Standrd
Oil to break entirely from the
arent company or come out into the
pen as mere agents and thus place
bemselves squarely under the Sherlan
Anti-Trust law.

-1? King's
Frugal Luncheon.
The King of Ifaly has very frugal =
habits, and on one occasion when out

an amusing incident. The King was

for some time without obtaining any
sport, he was at last lucky enough
to shoot a fine chamois. ,
A peasant boy who had been the
animal fall Into a chasm offered* to
fetch iis carcass for King Victor, al- .
though he had no Idea of the identity
of the sportsman. "Very well," said J
his Majesty, "I will wait here."
"But what will you give me, slgnort"
asked the lad. "What do you want?" v
said the King, smiling.. "Oh. a franc
and half your luncheon," replied the
lad. The bargain was struck and the .
boy went off down the mountain >"
side, and soon returned wth the body
of the chamois.
The King gave him a franc, and
then proceeded to divide hia lunch
into two equal portions; but the
peasant, wh6n he saw what King
Victor had to eat, turned away con
temptuously, for the lunch consisted
of a small loaf of black bread and a
large raw onion. "No, thanks, none
of that for me," exclaimed the lad.
"I thought you were a gentleman,

"At times my appetite was voracious,

followed. Other times I had no appetite
whatever. The food I took did
not nourish me and I grew weaker

"I lost Interest In everything and
wanted to be alone. I had always
had good nerves, but now the merest
trifle would upset me and bring on a
violent headache. Walking across

exercise was out of the question.
"I had seen Grape-Nuts advertised,
but did not believe what I read, at

"I had not been able to work for a
