F hones 871 VOLUME 29, No. 353 /ce Gorge in Mississippi River Breaks Qoing Great Damage-One in Ohio River Still Holds WHERE IS IRA C. RINEHART? Bonds of President of Prudential In vestment and Other Companies Declared Forfeited. WIFE SAYS HE IS RAISING MONEY Ira C. Rinehart, president of the Prudential Investmant* com pany and several other subsidiary concerns, failed to appear this morning when his name was called in the county court and his bonds were declared forfeited. . Mrs. Ira C. Rinehart, his wife, admits that he is out of San An tonio and that she knows where he is. It would not be to his in terest, she says, to tell. He went awav abont a week ago, she de clares. to secure money to rehabilitate his companies. Ten cases of misdemeanor, handed down by the district grand jury, are pending against Rinehart in the county , court. Bond in each case had been fixed at $2OO and the sureties were F. TV. Extence. manager of one of Rinehart’s companies, and W. F. McCurdy. Noti fication was sent them this morning. Mr. Extence appeared much perturbed at the turn events bad taken. Mrs. Rinehart manifested much inter est when told that the federal grand jury, which went into session January 3, had adjourned this morning and that all the indictments had been made pub lic except one. It was rumored that the inquisitorial body was going into cases of reported misuse of the mails. She had declared that Mr. Rinehart meant to return to San Antonio, but qualified her statement with the remark that “If this one is against Mr. Rinehart it may not be to his interest to return.” Following the forfeiture of the bond this morning in the county court, new capiases were issued and placed in the hands of the sheriff for the arrest of Binehart. It was only when the case had been called and the defendant fail-i ed to respond that his absence from the city was hinted. This was later confirmed explicitly by Mrs. Rinehart.' who said that she knew where he was, but that she would not tell. Indictments charging Rinehart with misdemeanors were handed down byi the district grand jury during the Oe tober term. His arrest and release on ' bond followed, F. IV. Extence and J. Q. i Taylor being the first sureties. Taylorl L withdrew from the bond and Extense 1 filed his withdrawal. Epon ' Arpresentations made by Rinehart, how ■ ■■'er, he decided to remain as surety.; ■’lit l entire ten bonds, totaling $2000,* declared forfeited this morning. K To a reporter for the Light and Ga ®zette, Mrs. Rinehart said that her hus--‘ ■band had left the city about a week HLigo. ®l' e denied that he had left on ■January 5, as stated by others, but con ■ tended that he went away about a week Bago to try to secure funds for the re- B habilitation of his companies. B ”1 know and yet I don’t kuow where ■tic is,” she said. “He was to go to two - for three places after money, and he is r at one of them now, which one T can f 'not tell. Neither will I tell where he expected to go, as fhat may not be to ibis interest.” W. R. Camp, attorney for Rinehart,| made a plea in the county court that) the bond be not forfeitetd, but Judge I Shook held that the case had been post I poned several times already and that it should not be continued longer. Two continuances have already been granted because attorneys either for the state I or for defendant have been engaged in the district criminal court when the , lease was called. Attorney Camp stated , (that he bad fully expected his client) to be present this morning and that he, was much puzzled by his absence. The cases against E. D. Wyity, in i dieted at the same time as Rinehart, i were continued generally. KYLE PROPERTY TRANSFERRED " i Kyle, Tex.. Jan. 14. —T. T. Hawkins ■ has sold his residence in Kyle to .1.

The novel sight of four Sisters ■ of Charity filing their declaration ’ । of intention to become citizens of ’ the United States, the first in the ' local federal court, and perhaps 1 . in the state of Texas, was witness ed this morning in the office of A. ’ I. Campbell, deputy United States clerk. 1 The sisters making their application , are all from the Incarnate Word Acad ■ emy of San Antonio and are as fol j lows: Marie Broillier, a native of France. [ Sister Broillier has been in this epuu , try twenty-eight years and renounced her allegiance to the president of that | country. Margaret O'Shaughuassy, a native of Ireland. Sister O'Shaughuassy has been , a resident of the United States since • 1883 and renounces her allegiance to , Edward, as do: Jiflia Harrison, a native of Ireland, j । Sister Harrison has been a resident of; ‘the United States since 1881. Julia Fora, a native of Ireland. Sis ' ter Fora has been a resident of the : j United States since 1881. The filing of the papers by the four ; sisters of charity is only the starting: .movement in which all the sisters of the country who have business to trans act in Mexico and the United States will become citizens. The sisters who I filed their declarations of intention this! morning, will two years from date be granted theii; final papers which will I make them full fledged citizens. Attor-[ ney John Sullivan, who was represent ing the sisters this morning in the til- ( ing of the papers, speaking of them I becoming citizens, said: Attorney Makes Statement. ‘‘Many of the sisters of this country, I have business in Mexico and go ami j ( come at all times. Unless they are a citi- I zen of some country they have no pro- I tection. Great Britain would not give I them the protection that they are en i titled to and therefore they are to be- I come a citizen of the United States . which will afford them ample protection ■ under this flag. “A law passed in Mexico in the sev- ' enties provided for the confiscation of all church property and that no religious schools should be tolerated. That law - has not been enforced to the letter un-1 til recently and then only when France • started its movement against the Catho lie church. Now any citizen of Mexico can point out a piece of land as being [ church property and the government • confiscates the same and a« a rule the man who denounces the property is thd person who secures same for a mere i pittance, with an understanding from । 1 the government that he is to be the one who purchases the property. ‘•With the sisters now clothed as a citizen of the United States they can ’ enter Mexico the same as anv other for eign citizen and acquire property and I have the same protection afforded them as any other purchaser.

Another most important subject of interest to almost every farmer and dairyman of Texas or any other place was the argument pre sented before the committee by G. A. Wrightman of Des Moines, lowa, repre seating the lowa State Manufacturers’ association, on the petition to change the classification and lower the freight rate on cream separators used by farm ers. Mr. Wrightman"s argument was: ‘‘The fanner, being the consumer of, the separator, is the man who is imme diately interested in the subject of re duced rates on this implement. The stiff competition among the manufac turers of cream separators has reduced every element in the cost of manufac turing and distributing very close to the ultimate figure. Remains Where First Put. ‘‘The freight expense tjoue remains ! where it was originally put when the ; first high priced separators were put on I the market. At the present time the • freight charges for an average haul of i 500 miles in western territory is about 5 per vent of the value of the separator. , The history of freight charges on new ; inventions is that they are placed high because the price of a new article is unusually high, owing to some extent । to the patent protection and cost of car ’ tying the device through its experimen-| I tai stages in production and selling ex ; penses. The time is overdue when the i freight expense of distributing cream, separators should seek its natural and , permanent level in comparison with the ! other farm machinery which is entirely I analogous, to it from a transportation, I point of view. The farmers are looking j ' for the cream separator that will do : their work with the least expense ami i the manufacturers and distributors are j I bound now to insist that freight ex j pense shall be reduced, as they have re-j . dueed the cost of production and their, । profits, so they can go to the farmer | ' with a machine he can afford to buy. I Hence the farmer is the man who is to I gain by the reduction as well as are we. | The reduction which conditions demand I is about thirty-three and a third per I j cent in freight charges. The conditions l of separating cream have radically! changed during the last five years. The I farmer now separates bis own cream at, home with a han illness and I deaths in the Swope family ensued. As to th? manner in which the germs) were administered if indeed they were there it yet no positive information, although the examination of the stom ach in Chicago is expected to reveal much.
