Chicago, Oct. 16.—After he had been
stabbed, by Joseph Toscano, while engaged
in a fight last night, Vito Fogilo, 50 years
old, drew a revolver and fired at Toscano.
As the latter fell in the street, Fogilo’s
two sons, Peter, 20 years old, and An-
thony, 14 years old, who witnessed the
fight, both drew revolvers and fired several
shots at Toscano’s body. Toscano was
dead when the police arrived.
Whether Fogilo or his sons killed Tos-
cano is puzzling the police. Fogilo was ar-
rested and taken to the hospital, where
it was found he was suffering from two
large scalp wounds and two wounds in the
face. The sons escaped.
The cause of the quarrel between the
elder Fogilo and Toscano is a mystery.
Toscano lived in Laporte, Ind.

held that one of the ways of spreading
consumption was by kissing. Prof. W.

of kissing I should keep right on.”
Dr. Charles A. Lindsley, who is also
secretary of the state board of health,
says: “Kissing has been practiced from
the time of Adam and Eve. In some
countries it has been practiced more than
in America, and there is no evidence that
those nations have been much afflicted
with consumption.”

Chicago, Ill., Oct. 16.—A casual glance
at a morning paper by an entire stranger
who happened to be spending a day in
Cleveland, O., it has been discovered, is
what intervened to save Johann Hoch,
alleged murderer and bigamist, from
death at a time when his execution
seemed certain and has resulted in the
postponement of action of the courts until
a thorough inquiry has been made by the
supreme court of the state.
The man who, unsolicited, tendered his
check for the amount that would make
possible a stay of execution and an ap-
peal to the' supreme court is James H.
McNicholas, a 'millionaire miner with
hea'dquarters at Portland, Ore.
According to the statement made by
Mr. McNicholas during a recent visit to
Chicago, he was enroute last July to
Hornellsville, N. Y., to see his flnancee at
that place. He happened to be delayed at
Cleveland, and
breakfast the
wht r. he came down to
morning papers were
handed to him, in one of which he read
the story of Hoch’s trial and the critical
Lituation he was in, with no money to as-
sist him in cariying his case to the higher
courts for review.
Hoch’s condition made such an impres-
sion upon McNicholas’ mind that all that
morning ha war unable to think of any-
thing else. Finally he learned the name?
of the attorney?, who were assisting in
Hoch’s defense and that Representative
Frank Comerford was at Springfield seek,
ihg to secure a stay of execution from
Gov. Charles Denecn.
McNicholas immediately wired Comer-
ford that the sum necessary to guarantee
Hoch another tua* was forthcoming on
don.and ar.d 'ater wiied the amount, $5J3,
to Comerford, thus saving Hoch at the
last moment. McNicholas did this only
.because he felt that a human being was
in need of aid and that there waff some
reasonable doubt that the man was guilty.
Because of his dislike for notoriety his
name has not been made public before as
Hoch’s benefactor. McNicholas has grown
from the ranks, having until a few years
ago experienced every condition of want
conceivable. Today he is worth several
millions of dollars. He is at the head of
a large mining company at Portland and
is interested in a number of other enter,
prises.
On Monday next the reprieve granted to
secure a hearing of Hoch’s case in the
supreme court will have served its pur-
pose. On that occasion his case will be
argued and the decision that means life
or death to Hoch will be rendered.
Representative Comerford, his. attorney,
is confident that he will be able to secure
Hoch a new trial and that on a second
hearing he wall be found innocent,
sistant State’s Attorney Harry Olson
equally sanguine that Hoch will hang.

MEASURE SYSTEM INTRODUCED.
By Associated Press.
New York, Oct. 16.—Swiss railroad book-
ing clerks have j-ust been provided with
machines for .measuring the height cf chil-
dren traveling over their roads and have
been told, that all children over three feet
tall must pay full fare, says the Times.
In summer months Switzerland is full of
Americans who are often accompanied by
tall children who never appear to be over
10 years of age. Ten years is the Sw’iss
limit for half fare. This has led to so
many heated arguments in German and
English that the government has decided
to'introduce the measure system.

Iowa Central Freight Ran Into Cattle

Oskaloosa, Iowa, Oct. 15.—Five trainmen
were killed today at Seaton, Ill., wheii 4
heavy double header freight eastbound on
the Iowa Central railroad ran into cattle
on the track at aspeed of 20 miles an
hour. Both locomotives and 11 frieght
cars loaded with grain and lumber were
piled in a heap beside the track. The
dead:-

The Galveston roads have taken a step
forward in placing the port of Galveston
on terms of equality with other Gulf
ports as regards the absorption of wharf
charges. While the railroads do not claim
to absorb wharf charges in any instant,
they have made the announcement that
there would be no wharf charges assessed
against the shipper of cotton seed cake
and meal handled on the terminals of the
Galveston Wharf company. This move-
ment was started by the International &
Great Northern, the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas and the Santa Fe, and was after-
wards followed by the Southern Pacific,
which has issued a notice the same effect.
Originally the charge for wharfage was
1c per .hundred pounds on cotton seed
cake and meal. Railroads do not claim
to absorb this charge, but the announce-
ment that they have made arrangements
'With the Wharf company whereby cotton
seed products can be landed at the ship
side at commission-rates to Galveston is
practically the same thing, so far as the
shipper is concbrfiedy'^nd as all trans-
portation charges 'bHgi’ia’.ly come out of
the producers th^ Texlis farmer should
thereby be benefited.
Railroad rates oh’ !cott<in seed cake and
meal for export ?afe7thelsame frem Texas
points to New Orleans,'Port Arthur, Texas
City and Galveston; while previous to the
new order cutting out wharfage charges
to the shipper at Galveston, Galveston
was the only port, where free wharfage
did not exist and thus, was at a disad-
vantage on that..account,. The new order
remedies that defect and may be the first
wedge to open a ;way for the. absorption
of all wharfage charges. The free wharf-
age on cotton sead meal and cake at New
Orleans, Port Arthur and Texas City was
one of the factors in inducing ths rail-
roads to take care of the wharfage at
Galveston. Another factor was the ap-
parently free wharfage over the Southern
Pacific docks in Galveston, but the chief
of all reasons was the situation brought
about by the Texas City Terminal com-
pany. Galveston lines had to pay a di-
vision to the Texas City Terminal railway
and in the case of the Santa Fe, which
has no railway connection with the Texas
City Terminal company line, was forced
to pay tribute to. the Galveston, Houston
& Henderson and to the Southern Pacific,
as well as the Texas City Terminal com-
pany. Under such conditions it was
deemed advisable by the Galveston lines
to make arrangements with the Galves-
ton Wharf company whereby cotton seed
products could be hauled to the ship side
without additional charges to the shipper
for use of the Wharf company's terminals.

New York, Oct. 16.—Temporarily bereft
of his senses following a severe mental
strain, Dr. Ar 11 ur Sinclair Knudsen* a
well known physician and club man, dis-
robed in the New York Central freight
yard in this city early yesterday morn-
ing and, climbing upon a freight train,
rode as far as Yonkers before his plight
was discovered by trainmen. He suffered
greatly from exposure but will recover.
When he had received medical atten-.
tion Dr. Knudsen said: “I started away
from my club Saturday night. I’m afraid
I don’t know why. I walked up the ave-
nue and then I ran, but not fast enough,
so I took a cab for High Bridge. I got
out of the 'cab and started to run again.
My clothes were too heavy so I took
them off. I remember climbing upon a
freight train, I think. I don’t remember
anything more.”
Dr. Knudsen is a native of Honolulu,
a member of an old pioneer family there
and a -world traveler. He graduated from
