STANDARD OIL COMPANY SUES.
1t Seeks to Recover Money Deposited
in the Indianapolis National Bank.

Another suit against Receiver Hawkins
has been brought in the federal court as
result of the WATSON decision. This time it
is the Standard Oil Company that is the
complainant, and the bill claims that on
July a. five minutes before the indianapolis
National Bank closed forever, +. l.. Will
liams. the companys local manager, depos-
tied in that institution $1,746.71, of which
S16.5S was in money, S229.S6 in checks upon
the Indianapolis National Bank and $1,5OO.27
in checks upon other banks. postal money
orders and express money orders. The
charge is made that after the bank had
closed on the day mentioned the bank paid
out large amounts of money to deposters
who knew of it's insolvent condition. On
this account it is claimed that the cash de-
post of the plaintiff cannot be traced but
the complaint AYERS that the $1,500.27 in
checks and money orders can be traced,
and should be paid in full The plaintiff
admits having proved it's claim with the
receiver but says this action was taken
before it had knowledge that the checks
could be recovered in full. As soon as the
company learned this, the bill states, it
but the latter refused whereupon the COM
pany declined to accept any dividend upon
its claim.
This is the first of the numerous COM
plants against the receiver to charge that
deposits were paid out to favored depos-
itors after the bank had closed July "a In
the receivers answers he has several times
said that certain specified sums -wefe
shipped away and paid out after business
hours on that day, but claimed that this
action only deferred because of the
rush of business through the day and that
IL was legitimate. the demands having been
made upon the bank before the hour for
closing. Duncan q Smith are the local at
torneys for the Standard Oil Company, and
filed the complaint.

Does Not Want to Help Defend an I'm
prOyement Lien Suit.

The city of Indianapolis yesterday filed
a demurrer to the complaint Of Anna NJ.
Jeck, who sued some time ago in the fed
eral court to enjoin the collection of a
street-paving assessment The grounds Of
the demurrer are that the complainant is
not entitled to the relief asked for: that
the complaint covers several distinct and
independent matters and causes which have
no relation to each other. and in which,
the greater part OF which, the city is
not eSncerned and ought not TO be impl-
Gated ana therefore asks to be dismissed
as a defendant to the suit.
In the brief accompanying this demurrer
City Attorney Scott says the city is not
attempting to enforce the collection of any
assessment against the PLAINTIFF; that the
contractor has a lien on her property, in
which the city claims no interest whatever
and that whatever litigation there may be
over the matter should be between her and
the contractor, and that the city should not
be compelled to defend a suit in which it
has no interest.

A BOYCOTT Withdrawn.

The Southern Pacific has withdrawn it's
boycott of the Atchison road, and has noti-
fled all it's agents to accept tickets over
the Atchison for San Francisco through
Los Angeles and via Barstow. All other
California rates and conditions are TO be.
on March 81, restored to the basis in effect
prior to March 1, pending a conference be-
tween Mr.. Reinhart, of the Atchison, and
President Huntington, of the Southern Pa
cific This conference will be held either in
New York or San Francisco. The Southern
Pacific will abandon all side trips from San
Francisco TO Los Angeles pending the con-
ference, at which, unless all signs fail, the
differences between the two lines will be
finally adjusted. The prospect for the resto-
ration of rates east of the Missouri river is
not so rosy. A meeting of the Western Pas
senger Association has been called for to-
day, at Chicago. to consider the matter,
and Passenger Traffic Manager White, of
the AtchisOn, has been especially invited to
come and talk about elevating the rate.
The ten-dollar rate from Chicago to the
Missouri river will, however, continue in
effect for some time. both as a selling and
basing rate. The same is true of the rates
from ST. Louis to the Missouri.

Meeting of General Managers.

The general managers of the roads in the
Union Railway Company yesterday held
their regular monthly meeting, and all lines
but the MonOn and the Lake Erie & West
ern were represented. The business trans
acted was OF a routine character including
the ordering of certain improvements re-
Gently suggested. The interior and roof of
the train sheds are to be painted at an esti-
mated cost of $3.50 and an automatic tele-
phone was ordered to be placed in the
waiting room. One of the water fountains
is TO be removed and the other placed in a
different position, where ii will not blockade
the entrance To the waiting rooms from the
train sheds. 1t was ordered that copper
cutters be placed where the tin cutters on
the train sheds are. on the Belt road all
bridges are to be repainted, two new tres
ties put in and one hundred tons of heavy
steel rail laid. In the coach yards west
of the Union Station one arc light was or
dered, and many other minor improvements
which had been suggested were ordered
carried out Incidentally, the new viaduct
question was sprung, and the general senti-
ment was that railways could not build
viaducts with their present earnings. JOS
eph Wood. general manager of the Penn
sylvania lines, remarked that he supposed
that. under the Sullivan adminstra ton,
one viaduct was built, Mayor Denny
thought two should be built while he was

FAKE RAILWAY DEAL
President ingalls,, ofthe Big Four,
ExplOdes a st. Louis Story.
He Says His Lines Are Not Concerned in
an Alleged Scheme to Make Another
Great Trunk Line.

An Associated Press dispatch from ST.
Louis received last night says: 'It is
learned here from a high railroad source
that one OF the most gigantic consultations
of railroad interests within the past decade
IS on the tapis. 1t is nothing smaller than
the invasion of Gould territory by the
Vanderbilts and the Standard Oil people,
who now control the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas railway. In brief, the scheme as
now pending. is the union OF the Chesa-
peake & Ohio railway, Vanderbilt prop
erty running from New York via Washing
ton and Baltimore to Cincinnati. with the
Big -Four line. another Vanderbilt property,
which will be used TO St Louis and from
St Louis to Galveston, Tex, the Missouri.
Kansas & Texas, a Standard Oil property.
This would give the Vanderbilts line d.
rect from Galveston through to New York.
President Rouse. of the Missouri, Kansas
& Texas Mr.. Rockefeller. the wealthy
Standard Oil magnate, ard representatives
of the Vanderbilt interests are here, and
during their stay the arrangement is ex-
pected TO be made"
Later in the evening this dispatch was
received from Cincinnati: M E. Ingalls,,
president Of the Big Four system and the
Chesapeake 81 Ohio railroad, was asked to-
nlght about the reported railroad deal con-
meeting his systems with the Missouri.
Kansas x Texas railway for a through
line from New York to Galveston. He said
there were no such negotiations pending,
and there was nothing of that Kind eX-
pected- Mr.. ingalls, represents the Wander
bit interests and is able 10 speak for
their large interests, but he had nothing to
say as TO what President Rouse and Mr.
Rockefeller may have in view on their pres
ent visit To st. Louis 4"
"A later dispatch from St. Louis says: III

rived that II was composed of officials of

Company, who had for some weeks past

Captious critics who regard the Grand
Army Of the Republic as a legitimate target
at which to throw the darts Of satire and
the spitballs Of abuse, have, during the past
two or three years, increased wonderfully In
number. and have undoubtedly caused the
big organization Of veterans a good deal Of
discomfort. This Is made evident by the
attention devoted the subject by Com
fnander-in-Chief Adams in the annual
report he yesterday submitted to the G. A.
r. encampment at Pittsburg. The Com
mander-in-chief says that soon after the
assembling Of Congress the cry of enormous
pension frauds was raised. The President
In his message stated that thousands Of
neighborhoods had their well-known pen
sion frauds" As a natural consequence
there was almost immediate increase in the
force in that department of the Pension
Office which investigates all dubious cases
and. in order that the investigatory work,
even Of an inimical administration should
not be faulty, the Commander in-chief
called upon the membership of the order to
cooperate with the Pension Office exam
liners I'm the work Of seeking out and expos-
ing the cheats. That frauds were discov-
cred is certain. but the percentage Of dis
honesty was not abnormal, nor did II
appear that the veterans themselves were
to any extent responsible FOR II. In most
Instances the government was robbed by
Inscriptions attorneys, who used the
names and records of dead men upon which
TO base fictitious claims in behalf of ignor-
ant widows and other dependent reIa-
tives- II has been argued that the Pension
Office should be run on business lines and.
therefore, without sentiment. Broadly, the

The political rumor crop is remarkably
heavy this year. All sorts Of likely and I'M
likely IDEAS are being scattered broadcast
to such an extent as to bewilder even the
man who thinks he knows what Is going
on One Of the latest propositions-issuing
whence no one seems to be aware-is to
have Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt nominated
by the reformers of New York as their
candidate for the mayoralty. Those who
are thoroughly acquainted with Mr.. Roose-
veit's character are convinced that a better
choice could not be made. A practical re-
former-active. vigorous. fearless-he is of
all men In public life today the man to
fumigate and make wholesome the NUM-
cipal affairs Of the most cGruptly-governed
city on the face Of the earth. In no sense
partisan. he would surely gather around
him men who could be depended upon to
deal justly by the taxpayer and by those
who have foS many years subsisted upon
the proceeds Of robbery in its worst form.
The United States Civil Service Commission
would appear strangely without Mr. Roose-
welt as a member. and it might easily be
that his withdrawal from that body would
be serious blow to the cause of national
civil service reform but 1t cannot be ques-
TONED that New York would be material
gamer, and the probabilities are that after
all the example set by Gotham with Mr..
Roosevelt as mayor. would surely result in
great specific and general eood Tammany
would have no opportunity for trading il
