WESTERN LINES WORKED UP
Seaboard Air Line Comes Excursion Rating
into Their Territory.

Chicago, Feb. 14.-Western roads are
very much stirred up over the invas-
ion of their territory by the seaboard
air line That road carried today a
large party Of miners from Denver TO
New York The journey was under
taken with the object of participating
in the opening of the New York min
ing exchange. The western roads Of
fered the party a 500 rate for the round
trip. The eaboard air line took it for
$50 each for the round trip. It made
a combination with the Denver and
Gulf and the Southern Pacific and took
the party via New Orleans. The
western roads are very much worked
up over the incident, their ire being
aroused more on account Of the invas-
ion into their territory than over the
loss of the business.

SEARCHING FOR THE HEAD
1t Cannot be Found and jackson and WALL
ing Give No Clue.

Cincinnati, O., Feb. 1.-THE authori-
ties here have a letter from Greencas-
tie, Ind, in which the parents of Pearl
Bryan have identified the hat sent TO
them as that Of Pearl, and gave other
information that led TO all officers be-
ing employed today in searching for the
head. The canal was drained during
the night and different sections Of work
men have examined its muddy basin.
Nothing had been found up to noon.
although the whole course of the canal
was examined The officers think now
that the hat found near the body was
that Of Pearl, that she was knocked
senseless and that the head was prob
ably badly beaten up before it was cut
off
Some beads belonging to PEARLS hat
were found today near Fort Thomas,
where the body was discovered two
weeks ago. The detectives thing this is
further indication of a struggle and
some violence. When found, the hat
was some distance from the body and
was weighed down by a boulder tied in
a handkerchief which has been identi-
fed as belonging to Jackson. Up to
tonight nothing was founG by the large
force Of Workmen engaged in sections
along the canal, which was emptied
head is no longer needed for evidence,
but they continue the search for the
head so as to satisfy the friends of the
victim who are anxious TO give the
girls body a decent burial. Over a
thousand dollars is now standing for
the head. The fact that Jackson and
Walling, who have frequently told
where they put the girls clothing. still
refuse to give informa ton about the
head, intensifies the feeling against
them.
The requisition was not issued by
Governor Bradley today. as the indict-
ment was so hastily drawn that 1t
charged Jackson with decapitating her
while she was held by Walling. No
proof of this kind has been found and
Judge Holm instructed the jury today
to bring in another indictment in ac-
cordance with the evidence produced
at the coroner'S inquest. On this new
indictment Governor Bradley will, to-
morrow, issue his requisition. Great
care is being taken in the preparation
of these papers, because 10 is well known
that the attorneys OF Jackson and Wall
ing will go before Governor Bushnell to
contest the requisitiOn 70 the last.
William Wood. the third suspect. be-
ing held in Jail here. made an elaborate
statement today in which he said that
there was a third man involved in the
murder and that il would soon be devel-
oped. II IS thought that he referred to

three people from. C.n--nnah across the

Probably as joke, the House yesterda y

force the ANTITRUST law. Our legal orna.
mental machine was also requested to
grease its cogs and suggest needed lcgisla-
ton to protect the public from trusts, coni-
bines and personal conspiracies.
The answer to both these queries is in
the air. 1t can be read in the prices Of
nearly everything that is sold to the public.
and it is written SO plainly in the divi-
dcnd reports of trusts that even Congress
should be able to interpret its meaning.
There can be but one answer In the
resolution. No effort has been made 10
prosecute trusts undcr the present law
since its enactment. That measure may
need amending 10 make it operative, but
a department that has long neglected

Senors Quesada and Palma concur In the
view taken by The Times that Gen. Gomez
is not likely TO attempt an attack ON the
city of Havana under present conditions.
II is altogether probable that Gen. Campos
would like nothing better than To engage
his brilliant adversary in u pitched bsttle
under the guns OF Moro Castle and other
fortifcatioDs around the capital city. where
the advantage would be all on the side of
the Spaniards.
Gomez, however, understands the silua-
ton too well To allow himself 10 be caught
in such trap. His troops will continue
to burn plantations So as l." deprive the
Spaniards OF revenue, to destroy railroads
and cut telegraph lines SO as TO interrupt
communication between the capital and
other parts OF ihr island, and he will har-
ass the enemy TO the best OF his ability
until the rainy season sets In. That will
give him several months to recruit his
forces and driil them thoroughly, and as

opening the campaign he will be in better

MOI Unwhoiesome, But Disgusting.

Some resident of the Quaker City wrote
letter to one of the Philadelphia papers
day or tw" ago. Tor which. according to
his own statement, he used Schuylkill
water instead Of ink, fiudiug the aqueous
fluid, in It's present condition, Il very fair
substitute. II was of the Consistency of
slightly diluted mud, and its color was
grayish black. The letter was photographed
and thus published in the paper in ques-
uun. and was in every respect a good
specimen Of good black ink writing.
Potomac water is not quite as black q
liquid as is that of the Sciuylkill. and uu-
questionably far more wholesome, but
has almost ''bpdy'' enough to be used for
other than drinking purposes. In fact, it
can be used for almost anything, except
washing. People whose physicians have
ordered Them Ia take mud baths ca n do no
better than fill their bathtubs with what
is now by courtesy called water, and they
need hing better. As for drinking-weI,

enforced In the State of New York, and
is doubtless as effective measure as
Could be enacted to abolish the curse OF
trusts.
The Department of Justice both under the
administration OF Mr.. Oiney and its present
incumbent. seems TO be dominated by a desire
10 allow the country to be surfeited with
trusts. As far as can be learned. none of
the American market rulers have a corner
on the furniture Of Mr.. Haunon's office,
bit IL would be no surprise TO hear that
they had torn the antitrust law out Of
the statutes in his library. Possibly the
Attorney General, in his zeal for State
rights is impressed with the idea that the
prosecution of trusts does not come in his
line OF duty. II so, he should cease iinprison-
ing moonshincrs and other revenue Of
tenders. Trusts are as much violations of
the law, and are a thousand times more
dangerous.
The Attorney General will probably write
nit across the face OF the resolution
and send it back TO Congress.

If the Cuban insurgents are to wait for
recognition as belligerents by the United
States until Havana has fallen into their
hands, they must struggle along without it
for quite long while. However. when once
Havana does open its gates to the insar-
gents, there will be no further need for
recognition, for then they will have them
selves established all ncedful right and title
to national Independence and the functions
or government. To refuse recognition
at this time Is, as Don Dickinson puts it, q
shame. Indeed, 1t is more than tbat--it is
cruel.
