INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 13.-Tbe
presencs of mind of q motorman on a
Brightwood lrolley car, at six o'clock
last night, probably averted an acct
dent in which the loss of life would
have been inevitable. The car was
crowded with passengers, among whom
was Gov. Mount, returning to his home
in Woodruff. AS the Car approached
the Big Four crossing on Massachusetts
avenue, no fagman was there to give
warning of danger and the Car proceed
ed on its way. When within few feet
of the crossing. Motorman Allen
Abrams observed an engine backing
toward his car ct the rate of 80 miles
an hour. An application of the street
Car brakes would have landed the
motor on the track just in time to be
crushed by the engine. Realizing this
fact, Motorman Abrams applied the
full current and the Car junped the
crossing at bound but the hood over
the rear end of car was entirely sever
ed by the engine. When the passsen-
gers realized their escape they were
much agitated and the Governor prais-
ed the motorman for his prompt action.

The Boycott Not a legal weapon.


ST.. LOUIS, Nov. 13.-An opinion
handed down in the u. s.. Circuit Court

stave company placed in their plant

dants, after requesting the stave com.
pany to withdraw their machine and
having their request refused, caused
boycott to be entered against them.
The stave company secured an iDjunc
ton in the q. s. District Court against
the defendants restricting them from
pushing the boycott. The defendants
appealed 10 the q. s. Circuit Court of

THE HISTORY COMMITTEE.

The investigation of the rumors OF
alleged improper conduct on the part
of the history committees of the Grand
| Camp of Confederate Veterans and the
Sons of Veterans began in Richmond
last night. Only that part which re.
fleets upon the history committee Of

The investigation is conducted by the
committee appointed by Grand Com
mander Cox, of the latter organization.
The meeting was public and was
held in Lee Camp Hall. 1t was largely
attended, those present including most
of the leading veterans of Richmond.
The most important testimony sub
mitted was chat of MIR. Herbert G.
Duce, a reporter on one of the Rich
mond papers. He stated that Mr..
Clyde West, a reporter on the same
paper, had recently shown to him
check for Sl25 given by representa-
tive of the American Book Company.
This money, Mr.. West minated, was
to be used ia Influencing Sons of Veto
rams to defeat the Massey resolutions
before their camp. The names of two
or three members Of that Organization
were given % the men to whom the
money was TO be paid. One of these
was Mr. Minetiee Fowlkes.
Mr.. Duce said that Mr.. Wagner sub
sequently stated that he YVES only jest
ing and that the check which be had
exhibited was for money which MIR
anpoch, the agent OF the American
Book Company, lad borrowed from
him. Mr.. West denies emphaticaliy
that he had any transaction with Mr..
Wannoch having for its object the in
auencing OF members of Lee Camp.
An exciting il ciient occurred when
Mr.. Fowlkes asked Mr.. Duce il he had
not asked him "lf there is anything in
it for me.n Mr.. Duce holly replied.
