SHORT (tf CARS. H. U. Mudge Says That All Companies Are Suffering. Never Before Such Heavy Traffic in Freight. HOC K ISLAND MEN HERE On the Way to Inspect Choctaw Division. Party Makes Record for Slow Time From Kansas City. "All of the roads in the w,est are as short of cattle and grain cars as we are. and some of them are a good deal worse oft," said Mr. H. TJ. Mudge, secon,' vice president of the Chicago, Rock Is land & Pacific railway today. "Freight traffic of all kinds and esp. -ially that of cattle and grain is 'unprece dented at the present time. I do not know that It has ever been so heavy be fore and all of the railroads are taxed beyond their capacity with the equip ment at hand. It Is only too true that we are short of cattle and grain cars but we are making the cars we have do double duty and conditions wii us are not as bad as they are on some of the other roads. "We are adding to our freight car equipment all the time and there is now one thousand cars under construction for us. We expect that a good many of them will be delivered soon. It is our Intention to place an order soon for IF THE WOMEN u n o - iffer every month from ailments peculiar to their sex would only take an occasional dose of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters they would find their various organs strengthened and better able to perform their proper functions. HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS Is now being taken exclusively bv hun dreds of women, who freely testify to its wonderful efficacy in cases of Backache, Cramps, Vomiting, Dizzi ness, Costiveness or Indigestion. Try a bottle. five or six thousand additional freight cars but of course these will not be available until next year." There has been a report current for some few days to the effect that the Rock Island was so short of cf.Vle ant grain cars that Mr. Mudge and the other officials of the road were trying to rent some seven hundred cars from roads en tering Chicago that might be able to spare them. When Mr. Mudge was if ked about this report he smiled and said: "I guess there is nothing in that report. Every road in the country is as short of cars as we are so it would be useless to try and borrow or rent cars from any of them." Mr. Mudge, accompanied by John B. Berry, the new chief engineer of the Rock Island, and Frank T. Dolan, general superintendent of the south west district of the road, arrived in town shortly after 11 o'clock this morning from Kansas City. They traveled in a special train of three cars and certainly hold one record for covering the distance between Kansas City and Topeka in a special. Some time ago President Ripley of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe made the trips from Topeka to Kansas City in a special In seventy minutes' running time. Mr. Mudge and his par ty left, Kansas City at 7:30 o'clock this morning and took three hours and forty-five minutes to reach Topeka. This is believed to be the slow record far a special between the two cities, but it ought to be explained that Mr. Mudge's train was stopped several time? to permit of an Inspection of the double tracking that the Union Pacific is doing on the line between Kansas Hity and Topeka. This line is used Jointly by the Union Pacific and Rock Island. Mr. Mudge and his party were met here by James B. Smaltey. superin tendent of the Kansas division of the line, and Mr. Burton Mudge, chief clerk to Superintendent Dolan. Mrs. Mudge. Mrs. Bradbury of Topeka, and Mrs. Frank T. Dolan were also await ing the party. Another private car was added to the special and the par ty, after being here for about five minutes, left for a tour over the Kan sas and Choctaw divisions of the roads. It is the Intention of Mr. Mudge and Mr. Berry to make a thorough Inspec tion of the Choctaw division and this will be the first time that Mr. Mudge has gone ovt the entire division since his connection with the road. Mrs. Mudge and Mrs. Bradbury are to accompany them and when the party reaches Memphis, the southern terminal of the Choctaw division, they are going to return to Chicago over the lines of the Illinois Central. Superintendent Dolan, Burton Mudge and Mr. Smalley are to leave the party at Caldwell and they are going to make an Inspection of the El Paso division of the road. While Mr. Mudge. Mr. Berry and Mr. I Dolan were In Kansas City last night I they attended the dinner given by the commercial club to Secretary of War 1 Taft HE LANDS ON WHITNEY. Roosevelt Writes a letter That Ouglrf to Finish the Bay State Man. Boston, Nov. 21. Henry M. Whitney, Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor at the last election has made public correspondence which had been passed between President Roosevelt and himself concerning the statements made by the president during an interview last winter which was granted to a commit tee from Massachusetts on reciprocal trade relations. The president informed a mqgs com mittee that called on him last week in favor of free hides that Mr. Whitney had deliberately misrepresented Awbat had occurred at last winter's confeTeiVe. With this experience in mind, the presi dent declined to enter upon a discussion of free hides with the free hides .commit tee, the chairman of which was Gover nor William L. Douglas. The statement of Mr. Whitney during the recent can vass in Massachusetts thatithe president told him he favored reciprocity with Canada was that to which the president took exception. After the president had made public his address to the hides committee, charging Mr. Whitney with, misrepresentation. Mr. W'hltney main tained that the president had certainly spoken in favor of reciprocity with Can ada on broad lines during their Inter view. In the correspondence which is given publicity Mr. Whitney wrote to Presi dent Roosevelt that the president had done him a great injustice In charging him with willful misrepresentation, re quested an interview with the president and expressed his regret that reciproc ity did not have the president's indorse ment. In his reply President Roosevelt declares that Mr. Whitney's letter fur nishes additional evidence "of the wis dom of my refusing to communicate further with you," and asserts that nothing he has ever said had given Mr. Whitney the slightest warrant in mak ing the statement that the reciprocity was not to have the president's aid. He charges Mr. Whitney with making addl- How's This? Wc offer one hundred dollars reward for any case of catarrh that can not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo. O.

The letter from the president to Mr. Whitny is as follows: "November 18, 1905. Sir: I have your letter of the 17th Inst. In view of my previous experience with you I am obliged to state, with regret, that it is out of the question for me to grant you another interview. In this letter of No vember 17, in which you make this re quest, you furnish additional evidence of the wisdom of my refusing to com municate further with you; my refusal being based upon your evident inability to understand, or determination to mis represent what I say. In this letter you state that you 'regret more than any thing else in connection v. h this mat ter that the righteous cause of reciproc ity with neighboring countries of so much value to our people and to the whole of the human race is not to have the indorsement of your (my) great name and the benefit of your (my) potent aid.' "Nothing that I have said at any time has given you the slightest warrant for making this assertion; and when, in the very letter asking for an interview and denying that you ever willfully mis represented my previous remarks, you Incorporate another deliberate misstate ment, you can hardly wonder that 1 decline to see you; nor would there in any event be the slightest point in such an interview. In your speeches you pretended to quote from memory certain statements made in the course of a long conversation occurring nearly a year previous. You quoted portions of what I said even as to these portions, your language was inaccurate and all the context was suppressed. As a result you as completely misrepresented me as in the sentence of your present letter which I quote above. It matters little whether this was due to deliberate pur pose of deception, or to a lack In both vour companions and yourself, of a nice sense of propriety and of the power of exact thinking and of correct appre hension and repetition of what was said. In either event I feel that it would serve no useful purpose again to see you or further to correspond wrfth you. "You are at liberty to make this cor respondence public, if you choose.

TURKEY MAY HURRY When the International Fleet Arrives at Piraeus. Constantinople, Nov. 21. The fre quent and prolonged conference of the council of ministers at the Yildlz pal ace are believed to indicate prepara tions to yield in principle to the de mand of the powers for the acceptance of the financial reforms decided upon for Macedonia. Probably, however, the Turkish government will make further attempts to secure modifica tions of the plans before definitely ac cepting the full programme. The ar rival of the international fleet at Piraeus is likely to hasten the Turkish discussion. The Russian fleet has re turned to Sebastopol after a short cruise in the Black sea. SUIT TO ENJOIN SCALPERS. Claim Made That They Interfere With Interstate Commerce. Spokane, Wash.. Nov. 21. Suit to en Join the ticket scalpers on the ground that they are interfering with interstate commerce was begun in the United States court yesterday. The Great Northern filed complaint against A. Ot tinger, L. H. Biehler and M. H. Miller running a cut rate ticket office in Spo kane. The railroad company gives no tice that it will appear before the fed eral court December 4. and ask for an injunction restraining defendants from selling tickets at cut rates. THEY "HAD A GOOD TIME." Man and Woman Arrested for Being Intoxicated and Noisy. A man giving the name of J. J. Mil ler and Dora Rodgers were arrested by the police last night for being drunk and disturbing the peace. The Topeka business men advertise in The State Journal because it is the paper the people of Topeka read. arrest was made at Stamey's livery barn, on West Tenth avenue. Miller and the woman wanted to hire a rig, but were so drunk that the men at the barn refused to let them have it. Mil ler began to use a buggy whip on the "chambermaids" of the barn, and they retaliated by surrounding him and driving him to the wall with pitch forks and neckyokes until the arrival of Officer H. D. Smith. Then the pair were loaded Into the wagon. The man was too drunk to resist, but the wo man delivered a stream of the foulest of language, and amused herself by spitting in the face of the officer. The couple got out of Jail in a short time by giving bond.

Old Nick and Old Harry. President Nicholas Brown, for whom Brown university was named, was fond of quizzing small boys. One day, while walking in the streets of Providence, he came upon a little fellow who attracted his notice. "How do you do, my boy?" said the president. "What is your name?" "My name is Harry sir," replied the child. "Harry, is it?" returned President Brown. "And did you know the evil one is often called Old Harry?" "Why, no sir," answered the boy.
