FREE GAS In KOK0MO.
The Fighting Companies Are Absolutely Civ

srecial TO the Indianapolis Journal

srecial 10 the Indianapolis Journal
KoKoMo, Ind. July 9.-This city is en-
joying the luxury of o natural-Gas war be-
tween the original KokomO company and
the Indiana Natural gas and Oil Company,
which recently pipei the city. Both COM
panies are now giving gas absolutely free
of cost, and every inbabitant of the city is
getting fuel for nothing. The newcomers
began the fight q month ago, which finally
resulted In giving the gas away for every
purpose. Both companies are giving month
ly receipts to patrons, but accepting no
money. The Indiana company is the COM
pany proposing TO pipe gas to Chicago. and
the local company is one of a dozen or
more Indiana com panies that have entered
into q combine tor the ostensible purpose
of resisting the Chicago scheme. Kokomo
Is the natural battle ground for the con-
tending corporations. and the Chicago
company pipcd this city with that end In
view. The combine has been attem pting
to embarrass the Chicago folks by injunc-
tions and other legal barriers. The Chi
cago corporation put o 100000 plant in
Kokomo. The Chicago company is backed
by S50.0OO.0 900 of capital, ana the Indiana
combine is almost equally strong. The
battle between these mighty corporations
promises To be the fiercest ever known in
the natural-gas line.

workmen at Homestead Called Out of Bed
to Prepars for the Coming of Pinkertons.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 10-Hugh ODon-
nell is authority for the startling state
ment made at midnight that 1t is
now definitely known that q force
of Pinkerton> men are rapidly ap-
preaching Homestead. They are said
to be coming over the Wheeling division of
the Baltimore & Ohio, will disembark at
the nearest point to the town and come in
over the hills. A heavy line of scouts hos
been sent out to guard the approaches to
the town from that side. The excitement
is terrific.
1905 A. Man attempt on the part of
the PInkerton men to take possession of
the Homestead steel-works is expected
early this morning. 1t has been definitely
learned that the Pipkerton forces,
presumably from Buffalo, are to dis
embark from their train on the
Wheeling branch of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad at a point northwest of Home
stead and from over the hills and under
cover of the compa9y's houses endeavor to
steal into the mill. A line of scouts. armed
along the hilI-tops to prevent surprise.
M.-Two hundred and nifty picket
men are on the hill-tops overlooking the B.
& O. railroad tracks. They are
well armed. and any attempt to take
the works by force will be met with o
warm reception. The town is seemingly
peaceful, but word has been passed from
house to house and armed men are hurrying
toward the point of vantage selected.
A dispatch received from Wheeling. Va,
says: Five special passenger coaches
were attached to the b. g. o. train from
Chicago which passed through this city, at

Pittsburg. The coaches were not
run into the depot and were
switched direct on to the Pittsburg
branch. Special precautions seemed to
have been taken to prevent examination
of the coaches and they attracted no par
ticuIar attention. Labor leaders here,
however. believe that they contained

eHoMEsTEAD. Pa, July 9.-Should fire
break out in Homestead, and that Is not
unlikely, as result of further trouble, the
town Will be practically at the mercy of
the flames. Yesterday the startling dis
coyery was made that the reservoir basin
by which Homestead is supplied with
water had eprung n leak, and already three
feet of water had been lost. The basin is
situated on hill above the town. Into it
the water is pumped by machinery, and
those in charge aim to keep fifteen feet
always at hand. Since the leak started
the supply has been reduced to eleven feet
of water and strenuous efforts are being
made to discover the leak. At the same
time the pumps are put to their full work
supply sufficient to cope with an emer-
gency. and the chief of the fire departm ent
has taken other precautions TO prevent dis
aster from flames. He has contracted for
$500 feet of hose in addition to the amount
now at his comm and. and this will be dis
tributed at points where il may be used 10
the best advantage.
It is reasonable to suppose that further
attempt to place Pinkerton men In the
works would result in incend ia rism. mob

their leaders and with the belief in their
minds that hired assassins had come TO

those born of passion and impulse. If the

YESTERDAY AT HOMESTEAD.

The Town Under Martial Law Enforced by

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 9.-The reign of
quiet is still undisturbed at Homestead,
and but for the suppressed excitement of
the little groups that cluster on the streets
no one would suspect that it had been so
recently the scene Of q great tragedy. A
discipline that might we'll excite the envy

So perfect is their organization. 50 numer-

here and every preparation 10 being made

There is nodoubt that organized labor Is
in sympathy with the Pennsy lvania iron
and steel W orkers, and there is no doubt
that in every large city of the country
labor leaders are keeping yigilant look
out for Pinkerton recruiting stations. and
that every suspicious indication is being
flashed to the committee. During the day
numerous kilograms of coincidence for the
dead and CONGRATULATIONS for the heroic
resistance of the living have been received
BIZ the strikers. and tenders Of assistance
have been pouring in. While the senti-
ments OF coincidence and congratulations
have been gratefully received, the proffers

tion to-day when he said: Assistance!

All the accompanying scenes of want and
squalor that are incidental to the typical
strike ore significantly absent here. No
body seems to be worrying over the NOR

for n prolonged siege. Many of the work

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.

What the People are Saying.
Never before in the history of our city
did the necessity of close organization
of the taxpayers exist with greater force
than now.
The people touched shoulders at the
great meeting held at Convention hall to
protest against the Incarceration OF the
grand jury; 1t was a spontaneous move
ment, and it taught the people that they
were unit in sentiment, as to the pow
ers that be-
1t only requires that the word be passed
that the people will meet to look after
their interests and again they Will assem-
BILE in mighty force. The courts, may be
and extravaganza, but the people have
the power to do so.
The scheme of the city administration
to secure more credit, by the reinsurance
of $4,000 refunding bonds, is causing the
people to inquire into this queer method
OF financiering.
bonds lying in its treasury, as a credit to
the sinking fund, these bonds are taken
out and reissued in order to sell them, and
place the funds in the bank as basis of
credit These bonds bear per cent in
terest, which, added to 5 per cent paid for
the money borrowed from the bank,
makes IA per cent the people will pay for
ciering!
The people are beginning to open their
eyes to the magnitude of the fraud of the
new county court house. Everyone
thought it woold only cost 100000, now
every one knows that the plans adopted
cannot be carried out for double that
amount.
The situation calls for ano ther plea of
ignorance and reckless incompetence on
the part of the county commissioners
court. They were incapable of under
taking such an enterprise, and the tax
payers of the county must excuse them.
To ask them to resign would be useless.
These men are past recognizing the hui
initiating position they have placed them
selves in.
The commissioners can blame no one
nation in which they are held by the peo-
pie. They have gone upon the witness
stand and convicted themselves of incom-
petence. The case was one in which
luckily the people suffered 40 loss. But
it is different with the big court house
job. They have adopted plans for
public building without knowing how
much 1t would cost. Perhaps they
did not care, as long as it furnished
them with big sum of money to expend,
and aid them to perpetuate themselves in
office.
The people must be patient under their
public Affections, but be prepared to obtain
relief at the very first opportunity. 1t
may not be until the ballot box is opened
to them.
