ELECTRIC LINE TO GREENFIELD
Nathan Morris Says His Name Was
Used UnauthOritatively.

There has been talk from time to time Of
an electric railroad to connect Indianapolis
and Greenfield. A number of people have
been mentioned at different times as having
enterprises of this kind under consideration
While some work has already been accom-
plished toward building such a road the
efforts have awaited nothing. A new con-
Germ is now in the field proposing to build
an electric railway between Irvington and
Greenfield on the National road. 1t was
said yesterday that Attorney Nathan
Morris, acting on behalf of himself, land
others associated with him. had gone so
far as to ask permission of the proper au-
thorities to construct the track along the
National road. No action has been taken
on the petition that has been made. AL
though Mr.. Morris's signature was attached
to the petition he asserted last night that
he knew nothing about the matter and
said that If his name was used it was with
out his knowledge. 1t is not yet known

and report them to the proper board. but
IL upon inquiry in the discharge of the du-
ties imposed upon such board the board
should be of the opinion that the person
so found by your agent was not a proper
person under all the circumstances it would
have the right, I think, to decline to ac-
cept the home that your agent should find.
In the nature of things the duties of your
agent would be quite onerous. and he would
not have the same opportunities of ascer-
tanning who was a proper person in a To-
cality unknown to him that the board, who
would either have personal knowledge or
means of inquiry to determine that the
agent of your board would not have, and
think it is the intention of the act TO
recognize the right of local self-government
and not to deny to the local authorities the
discretion that 1t might not be unreason-
able to suppose it would have to better

SUCCEEDS MAJOR CARTER
f. J. CAIRNES NEW SECRET SERVICE
OFFICER FOR THIS DISTRICT.
He Was in Spain for the Government
During the Recent
War.

Frank j. Cairnes. of Washington, arrived
in Indianapolis yesterday morning to take
the place made vacant by the death of Maj.
Y. B. Carter. late chief of the United States
secret service in this jurisdiction.
For the last few weeks Mr.. Cairnes has
been operating at Altoona, Pa, but previous
to that had been attached to the headquar-
tiers Of the department at Washington. He
is about forty years of age, and has wife
and child, who will join him here in a short
time and make their future home in this
city. Mr.. Cairnes is native of Boston, and
has been in the employ of the government
but a year. During that time, however, he
has seen much of the inside of the recent
war that has been denied to the rest of the
citizens Of the country. He was for years
before joining the government forces an
employee of a large detective organization,
and was styled professionally a Spanish
expert" When the war between this coun-
try and Spain became a possibility a year
ago Mr.. Cairnes was taken into the federal
service as a Spanish expert" and sent to
Europe. Until the signing of the protocol
he was never inside this country during the
war. At times during the progress of hos
tilities he was in Spain, at others he was
in France. Germany and nearly all the con-
tinental countries of Europe but in every
one of them he escaped without accident
One of the first things he said when he sat
was that he felt the difficulty of his posi-
ton in succeeding such a competent man
as Major Garter, who was known from one
END of the country to the other of
the best men the service ever had. TO use
his own language when Major Carter went

ment offices he was the only one in evil

able finally to settle down lat home" for
during the past year he has not seen his
family except once. and that time was in
last March for a few days.
