BOSTON, June 1.-The Rev. DR.. j. /.
Lansing. OF the Park-street Church. this
city, has entered upon a crusade upon po-
lice corruption. He is backed by the New
England Moral Reform Club. DR.. Lansing
alleges that the police of the city are In
Sbllusion with the proprietors of disrepu-

He declares: ''we have proof that the po-

will at once prefer formal charges before
the police commissioners.

reporter: "The first intimation that our

Sidetraclxed by Strikers.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Ind, June 1.-The strike
situation here has become one of extreme
peril. Last night the miners at Clark's
Station (Cannelburg) ten miles east OF
here, held UP three freight trains with coal
in transit and have refused to allow the
cars moved. They also sldetracked every
freight hauling coal to-day, and now have
about forty cars in the sidetrack The
sheriff made a formal demand for the re-
lease Of the cars this morning, and was re-
fused. He returned to this city, and a re-
straining order was issued to him to be
served on the miners. He went TO that
point and was treated with contempt. the
men absolutely refusing to allow him to
read the courts order. Steps are now be
ing taken to move the cars, and miners
are massing at the seat of trouble fully
determined to resist any measures that
the company or the agencies OF the law
may put into action. Over five hundred
are already at Ciarks.

hour. In the event the Governor decides
to send troops to Daviess county to-day
he will have to give the order direct to
General Mckee. who will. in turn. detail the
companies. The detail must be entirely In
the hands Of General Mckee, and he said
last night that If it was necessary he could
have twenty-five hundred men In the min
ing regions within twenty-four hours after
receiving the Governors orders OF course.
It is not probable that any such number
of men would be needed. There are a num-
Der of companies within short distance of
this city. besides companies at Terre
Haute Sullivan and other points near the
mining regions
Adjutant-general Robbins, few days
ago, said In a conversation that he did
not think it would be the best plan to call
cut troops living in the mining regions,
although he did not doubt that these troops
would do their full duty. However, he
thought 1t would be best to call troops. IL
needed from other portions Of the State.
There was a regular drill Of the Indian
apolis Light Infantry last night, and the
probability of call being issued was dis
cussed among little groups. The matter
was not broached, however, at the business
meeting of the company.
The Governor was due to return to Indi-
annapolis about half past o'clock.
The Governor Replies to Smith.
On Thursday Attorney-general Smith told
a reporter that there was no money to
meet the expenses of the militia If it was
called out. and said the cost should be
charged to the counties where the soldiers
are sent. Yesterday. before leaving for
Terre Haute, Governor Matthews said:

Paths are the beginning Of roads. Man

Undoubtedly the first paths or trails

10 their hunting grounds. and later. IN
visits TO the trading posts of the white
men, in billy or mountainous regions
these trails were directed over the high
grounds or the passes through them, and
thence to the fordable places in streams,

mountain ranges, or the valleys lying
between them.
