FIRST CLASS GRAFTER
Former President of Car Repair
<
Company Details the Payment of (
Large Sums of Former President i
of Monon Route, Who Was Mys- J
teriously Sliot at His Residence.
i
Henry C. Osternnann, former pres- |
ident of the Ostermann Manufactur- i
Ing Company, who is said to have
been a big factor in the Illinois Central
car repair frauds, rested a sensational
story of the inside workings
of hlB concern before Judge Bruggemeyer
at Chicago on Wednesday.
Ostermann was called as a witness
for the prosecution in the conspiracy
hearing against Frank B. Harriman,
Chas. L. Ewlng and John M. Taylor,
former Illinois Central oRicials, who
are charged with participating in extensive
car repair swindles.
The late Ira G. Rawn, former
president of the (Monon Route, who
was "mysteriously" Bhot to death at
hiB summer residence in Winnetka,
Ills., last July, w;as named by the
chief figures in the alleged graft
ring.
Ostermann declared that as vice
president of the Illinois Central,
Rawn was given 1,600 shares of
stock in the Ostermann Manufacturing
Company, and that this was increased
to 2,700 Bhares. He said
that Rawn sold his stock to the manufacturing
company at par, $5 a
share. After Rawn had sold back
his stock holdings in the car repair
company for $13,500, the witness
says the former Illinois Central vicepresident
demanded and got first $5
and then $10, and finally $15 for
each car repaired or alleged to have
been repaired at the Ostermann
plant.
In this connection Ostermann testified
that he personally made one
payment of $10,500 to Rawn, which,
be raid, war tt.r 700 path nnnn which
the repair concern bad collected bills
for repairs. Tbe witness said tbat
Rawn received $15 a car during the
first six months of the year 1909.
This was during the last six months
that Ostermann whs connected with
the repair company.
According to Ostermann, three distinct
kinds of payments were made
in the passing of this alleged graft.
In addition to the payment per car
as to Rawn, said Ostermann, a fixed
monthly sum was paid certain officials
and a two per cent, monthly
dividend was paid on all Ostermunn
Manufacturing Company stock held
by Illinois Central officers. This
^^tock dividend, amounting to 24 per
cent a year, was paid on several
blocks of Ostermann Company stock,
said Ostermann.
'"What Illinois Central officials
held stock In your company?" was
asked Ostermann by Attorney Fisher.
"Ira G. Rawp. had 2,100 shares;
Frank B. Harriman had 2,200 sliaiee;
John M. Taylor had first 1,000,
and then 5,000 shares; Jos. E. Buker
had 2,200 shares. Wm. Renshaw
had 1,500 shares and W. J. Taylor
had 500. S. B. and Mildred Harriman
had 100 shares each, but
I don't know who they are other than
they were connected with the Illinois
Central Company. Their stock was

auu jra iu 1U1 UJ 17 1 ailli ?3.
HarrimB-n."
"What officers of the railroad company
received monthly payments
from your concern and in what
amounts?" Osterman was asked by
counsel for the prosecution.
"Frank B. Harriman received $8,100
monthly; Joseph E. Buker also
got $1,000 monthly; Wm. Renshaw
was paid $500 monthly; W. J. Leahy
$100; H. N. Dunlay $100; R. G. Ransom
$26; John Waters $25; Matthew
Morgan $75, and F. A. Jones
$100 or at least one occasion that
I personally know of."
Ostermann then entered Into a recital
of the organization of the manufacturing
company.
"I did not think of going into the
car repair business at first,''
said Ostermann. "The idea was first
suggested to me by a Mr. Considine,
whom I met while selling stock in
the firrain dnnr pntomrleo Ho I
v r. .?w, ?<v o?6"
Rested the matter to me and later
I took It up with John M. Taylor, of
the Illinois Central. He discouraged
me first and later assisted me. John
E. Baker took me to Ira G. Rawc to
arrange for a contract to do repair
work for the Illinois Central.
MMr. Rawn asked me how many
cars 1 thought I could turn out In
a day, and I replied about 25."
" 'You are the man we are looking
for', he said, and the deal was
arranged."
(The witness then related how In
1907 he was told by John M. Taylor
that Frank R. Harrlman wanted
to see him; that Harriman wanted to
buy more stock in the Ostermann
concern.
"I refused to sell Harrlman a
block of stock at that time because
I would thereby lose the controlling
Interest in the company. Instead ? f
selling Harriman stock, wo came to

IN THE SADDLE
PUSHES HIS TICKET THROUGH <
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
Whips the Old Guard to a Frazde
and Then Hides Rough Shod Over
Them.
The New York Republican State
Convention at Saratoga Wednesday (
evening nominated Henry L. Stiia- ,
son of New York as its candidate
foe onvnrnor TKa \f
ivt vi nvi . i uc uv/iiiiuaiiuii ui i . ]
Stfmson was ope more victory for
Roosevelt, who led the fight for Hie
nomination of his candidate, com- '
pleting the unbroken series of irs- i
uinphs from the moment the convention
wsb called to order uutil its
final adjournment.
The vote for governor stood- as 1
follows: Henry L. Stiuison, 6S4, 1
Wm. S. Bennett of New York, 242;
rhomas B. Dunn of Rochester, 33;
James B. McEwun of Albany, 2S,
^catering, 23. The State as made
up Wednesday for the balance of the
ticket by Roosevelt. Root and nie
benchinen went through without a
tiitch.
With the exception of the nominations
for governor and comptrol- 1
ler there were no contests. Representative
Bennett, who has been coniucting
the only open campaign for
the nomination of governor, kept up
the fight to the end and his persistency
and his strength with the N?w
York delegation threatened to break
the elate. It is understood that
Roosevelt will stump the State for
the ticket.
At the close of the convention
James S. Wadsworth, Jr., speaker
of the assembly, announced his withdrawal
from the legislature. He
said this determination was reached
some time ago, and was due the entirely
to his personal views as to the
length of time a member of the assembly
should hold that important
nn;l difficult office.
Wadsworth would not say that
his retirement was due to the victory
of the progressives in the convention.
The close of the convention
found the Roosevelt forces in complete
mastry of the situation.
Following the first rout of the organization
came Roosevelt's dramatic
and successful battle for the adoption
of the platform of the progress
ives, and his final victory In the nomination
of Stimson. By the time the
vote was taken the strength of the
organization had been dissipated
badly.
HAS IjOHT HIS CHIP.
That is What a Horry Man Bays
About. Tillman.
In an Interview given to the Charlotte
Observer's Washington correspondent,
DeVaux Porter, of Horry
County talks iuterestingly of Senator
Tillman and another term in the
Benate. lie predicts that Senator
Tillman will never again take an
uctive part in the Senate proceedings.
and will not be reelected when
his term expires.
"It is common talk in South Carolina,"
said Mr. Porter, "that for
physical reasons alone there would
be little likelihood of Mr. Tillman
ever again being able to take up actively
the work of a political leader.
Before this last attack ^e had
an illness that sent him abroad for
monthB in an effort to recover, and
since his retrun, though he seemed
about normal, he has dropped into
the background. All through the
tariff fight he seemed to be drifting
along. The truth is, Tillman has
lost his grip on the state.
"Ever since he defeated Hampton
for the senate his position had been
imuiHpuiea, Dili, at tils last election,
when there waa no candidate who
dared oppose him, fifteen thousand
men scratched bis name on the ballot
just to show they did not like him.
That was a straw in the wind. It's
strange, but even at the height of
his power he never has been able to
name office holders In the state, and
the dispensary, which was his favorite
issue, has been legislated out
of existence,, in spite of his Btrenuous
defense of it."
an agreement whereby I was to pay
Harrimart $10,000 a month. I paid
this amount in person, sometimes in
check and sometimes in cash.
"Sometime after this I bad a talk
with Rucker and he suggested that I
pay over some money to the 'old
man,' Mr. Rawn. I asked him how
much and he said about $5 a car for
every car repaired. Later, Bucker
came to me and said that Mr. Rawn
leu in?y ougni 10 navo a little more
money on the cars. Bucker said 1
ought to know what It would mean
if 1 didn't give it. Bucker said that
other repair car companies were doing
it and that he had to take his
orders regarding the placing of repair
contracts from those above him.
In this way the payment per car
was raised to $10 and then to $15.'
During the period that the alleged
grafting was going on Ostermann
said he handled each deal in person
and thereafter made the payments cf
money to the railroad officials, lie
declared that he frequently passed
$1,000 bills to certain of the men
mentioned and upon one occasion he
handed over a $5,000 bill.
CHINESE BANDITS
CARRY OFF FIFTEEN MEN TO BE J
HELD FOR RANSOM.
rhey Stole Thirty Thousand Dollars 1
from a Bank and Then Escaped
to the Mountains.
Dispatches from Victoria, B. C.,
says Manchuria bandits made a raid '
on the town of New Chwang,, at the 4
mouth of the Liao river, early this 5
month, and carrie I away fifteen Chin- '
pse merc hants to be held for ransom, '
accordluK to advices received by the .
steamer Sado Maru, which has just
arrived from the Orient. ,
The bandits stole $110,000 from a .
bank and secured laree stores of
arms anil uninmuition. The brigands. ,
of whom there were 1100, retired to a ,
stronghold in the mountains near |
Antanshien. I
When the steamer left Japan the ,
bandits were surrounded by COO {
Chinese troops and police from Hai j
Cheng and Iiao Yang. Operations
against the brigands began on Sep- ]
tember 5, when a number of pickets (
and two entrenchments were captor- t
ed. ,
The brigands have a large store of ,
food in the temple buildings in the t
mountains and have settled down to j
withstand a seige. ,
Artillery was being sent from Muk- \
den. A company of Japanese frontier
guards who joined the Chinese ]
and sought to assist them in the t
attack were ordered to return by s
the Chinese. t
OOVKK CHOI' CAMPAIGN. |
Various Agencies Work for the llctI
torment of Agriculture. I
There will bo more winter cover ,
crop planted in South Carolina this
fall than ever before. The work of
the vurious agencies for better agriculture
in this Stute is quite notice- j
able. Last year notwithstanding the
dry fall and spring, there were hun- .
dreds of suscessfu! fields of vetch,
bur elover, crimson clover, red clo- !
ver and alfalfa. The majority of
these were planted under the supervision
of a government agent, and
were so satisfactory that the area
will be greatly extended this year.
A. G. Smith, scientific assisstant of
the United State department of agriculture
gave specific directions for
planting over 300 fields of these
viupu nisi year, una tills year he Is
continuing the work in practically
every section of the State. Specific
directions for planting any of th?>6e
cropB can be secured by addressing
him at Columbia. He has already
given directions for over 150 fields
this season. These advise the farmer
every step in the process, and tell
him where to secure the seed and the
soil for Inoculation.
The aim of the department of ag- ,
rlculture is to get a winter cover
crop on every acre of land in South
Carolina. It will take many years
to accomplish the desired result, but
the people arc waking up to the opportunity
and the benefit of winter
cover crops, and it is believed that I
great results will be accomplished in
the next few years. Farmers are advised
to plant rye or oats on the
larger part of their farm if they have {
never grown any leguminous winter
cover crop, but It is advisable to J
plant a small area of vetch, bur clo- ,
ver, red clover or crimson clover, fol- ,
lowing the directions given, and then
in another year by having plenty of
soil for InoculaMon, the farmer can j
extend his area as he sees fit. Most (
of the failures with these crops and
also with the alfalfa, has been due
to lack of proper knowledge of
planting. Where the proper methods
have been followed there has
been practically no failures whatever.
TOBACCO HIGHER.
Sizes of Packages Smaller But Sell
for Same Price.
Packages of all American-made
cigarettes and tobaccos are being reduced
in size by the manufacturers
to make up for the increased revenue
taxes imposed by tho tariff.
Packages of several well known
brnnds which used to contain twenty
cigaretts and sold for five cents
now contain only fifteen and sell for
the same price. The first of the
smaller size packages have appeared
in Washington and th6 internal revenue
bureau has unofficial information
that the tobacco trust intends
cutting the sizes of all its package
goods in every city in the country.
Packages of cgarettes which form
eriy contained ten, it Is said, will
hereafter contain eight. Pocket
pouches of tobacco, which have been
made in the favorite size of one and 1
two-thirds ounces and sold for five 1
cents, will be reduced to one and a 1
quarter ounces. 1
This is due to the fact that under '
the old law, cigarettes which weigh
no more than ten pounds per thousand
wero taxed at the rate of 53
cents a thousand. This classification
covered all kinds of common cigar- 1
ettes. 'The new tax is $1.25 a trous- i
and. Smoking tobacco also was af- .
fected. 1

tppearanee and of the efforts that f
searching parties, often numbering c
nore than 10 0 persons. He has car- 1
led the search as far est as St. c

rom grief and believes her sou niurlered
by a madman. The father t
(till hopes that little Edward was on i
y kidnapped and may yet be fouud. c
Edward will be ten years old next 1
December. On April 15 last he went t
>ut with three other boys of his own \
ige to fish in a creek about ten min- t
ites' walk fom home, through the i
ivoods There was not sufficient wa- i
er in the creek to drown a kitten c
n. The lads were fishing for nun- r
rows with bent pins. It is impossi- 1
jle that Edward was drowned. i
Another party of slightly older >
ads was fishing nearby. One of these 1
hought it would be fun to try to :
scare the younger boys. He went up
o them nnd pretending he was the t

hey had no right to fish and would t
>e airested. \
The 111 tie chaps had been thero s
[oo often to be frightened in that |
fashion. I
On his way back to his chums, this t
lad met a rough looking man, who i
hounded cut of the woods at him, |
swearing and looking as though in- t
sane. The boy ran, shouting warning
to both fishing parties. All fled, j
As they ran they missed Edward, i
They shouted for him and dodged i
around several paths to look for him. j
They could find him nowhere. The ]
Irrt plr.ee he was seen was the spot i
where the rough looking man jump- |
ed out upon the path. One of the i
boys hastened to tell Mrs. Adams
that Edward was lost in the woods.
Within? an hour Adams was ,
scouring the woods, a hundred neigh- ,
bors helping. Every day for weeks i
the search was kept un. Every part i
of the woods and nil th#* cnnnifv
were examined. It was thought the
boy might have been killed and (
buried, perhaps In the woods. Every ]
foot of the ground was gone ov?r i
time and time again, with the utmost <
system. No trace of any newly turn- j

FOR RETTKR MAIL DELIVERY.
m k
Patrons Should Provide Receptacles
for Receiving Mail.
Rv direction of fthe Post Ofllce Department.
the attention of Datrons
jf this office is invited to the advantages
of providing facilities for the
receipt of their mail by erecting conveniently
accessible boxes or cutting
suitable slots in their door3. Such
u'tion would enable the postmaster
to give a prompter and better deliv'ry
service w ith the means at his dlsposai,
since the ca.riers can cover
much more territory in less time if
not compelled to wait for an an
iwor to tneir ring.
Private receptacles for mail are al- *
so a great convenience to the house- ^
holder, obviating the necessity of responding
to the carrier's call at inconvenient
momenta and permitting
i he safe delivery of mall in the absence
of members of the household.
They also prevent the occassional
necessity of a carrier's proceeding on
his route without delivering mail
because of failure to answer his ring 3
cvlthin a reasonable time, and enable 1
him to make deliveries to patrons 1
living on or near the end of the 3
route at an earlier hour. a
It has been shown by actual ex- 1
perience that the benefits derived
by patrons of city delivery from the x
use of such receptacles far outweigh t
the small expense involved. As Hie f

Mr. Bryan said:

"In his expressions regarding railroad
