~ 20 WASHINGTON AK SOUTH.


MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. ,. = William
Dockery is not under arrest at Chi
cago. The notorious young burglar,
who escaped from Assistant Superin-
tendent Norton, of the st. Cloud re-
formatory, two weeks ago while being
brought to Minneapolis to be arraigne,l
on several new indictments charging
MIN with burglary, was not arrested
by Detectives Hanley and Custy, of the
Chicago police department. Jan 80.
Neither is he in the custody OF AS
slstant superintendent Norton, who
went TO Chicago to bring him back to
St. Cloud.
According to the friends of Dockery
the young burglar has outwitted the
minneapolis police. As their story goes
the local police secured the services of
number of Dockery's supposed
friends and these people were furnish
ed with money which they carried to
Dockery's home. There, after telling
what good friends they were of the
young burglar. they offered the money
as a substantial proof of their friend
ship and asked that it be sent to the
young man to assist him in eluding
the police. After they had thus es-'
tablished the proof of their friendship
they asked in an off-hand way where
the fugitive was, but L e money of
the police. said to be over 800, was
wasted, as the family would not tell.
When this thing had gone on for
some time the family determined to
find out who were the real friends Of
the fugitive and a plan was laid to
receive a fake letter from Dockery. The
letter was prepared and mailed in ST.
Louis, and when it was received in
Minneapolis was left where it was in
reach Of any one who wanted to pur-
loin it. The letter, it is said. was stolen
and brought to police headquarters,
where. after the contents We're copied,
it was resealed and taken back to the
Dockery home. In the letter Dockery
said that he was in hiding in St. Louis.
but could not obtain the services Of a
doctor he could trust and was going
to Chicago. He asked for money and
directed his family to write at once
and send the letter. addressed to Henry
Johns. general delivery. Chicago.
With this supposed valuable infor-
nation in their possession the local po-
lice notified the Chicago department
to watch for Dockery and arrest him
when he called for the letter. The
friends of Dockery claim that a sub
Stitute and not the real man called
for the letter and was arrested by the
Chicago detectives. They say that the
man arrested had his instructions and
when arrested made gun play and
put up a hard fight, and when over
come refused to talk and let the Chi
~cagO police think they had the right
man until Assistant Superintendent
Norton arrived and made their mistake
known to them.

WESTERN PASSENGER RATES.
Roads Differ as to Their Control
by Association.

CHICAGO, Feb. General passenger
agents OF Western roads met today to take
action regarding the proposed reorganization
Of the Western Passenger association, and
good progress was made towards agree
ment. The 800" line was the only i'm
portant road not represented. General Pas
senger Agent Lomax, of thu Union Pacific,
was not present during the morning session,
but appeared in the afternoon. Much de-
ponds upon the action Of the latter road as
it is the only trans-Missouri line not entirely
favorable to the formation of an association
covering all the territory west from Chi
cago, st. Louis and st. Paul to the Rocky
mountains. The Union Pacific wants two as
sociations, one east and one west of the Mis-
souri, river. The Santa Fe and other Western
roads want an association to cover the entire
territory, but if this cannot be obtained they
will be satisfied, probably to get an agree
ment covering all business as far west
Colorado common points. They are not in
clined, however, to accede to the Union Pa
ci1cs demand for an Independent association
west from the Missouri river
1t will probably require a session of three
or four days to dispose of the questions under
consideration.

western Planned for Spring.
The rehabilitation Of the Baltimore &
Ohio Southwestern railway will begin soon
as the frost is out of the ground in the
spring. Just before the line went into the
hands Of Receivers Harmon and Robinson
large quantity of material was purchased.
This will be Immediately delivered and used
to the best advantage. Forty thousand tons
of S5-pound steel rails have been purchased
and enough will be on hand on March l to
enable the receivers to begin laying it at
FIVE different points on the line. Each mile
OF track will be carefully reballasted and
placed in frst-class condition. It will take
101 900 pairs of continuous rail joints for the
40, 900 tons of rail. The 1000 standard box
cars and 500 steel coal cars recently ordered
will bedelivered in March.
Additional motive power in the shape of
forty compound freight engines, weighing
1560OO pounds, and five 10-wheel compound
passenger. engines, weighing 135, 900 pounds. is
now being built by the Baldwin Locomotive
works.
1t is expected that by the time the property
is recognized and becomes the southwestern
division of the Baltimore &c Ohio railroad
it will be in physical condition fully equal
to the Baltimore & Ohio railroad.

That the Great Western Engine Had

amined the session was held behind closed
doors At the conclusion of the hearing, Supt.
Kelly said that the crew had satisfied the
officials of the road that the sidetracked en-
CINE was released by some unknown person
during the absence of the crew at breakfast;
that the engineer and fireman had satisfied
them that every possible precaution was taken
to prevent the engine getting loose, and that
in no other way could the engine have es-
capped and run up the track.
Mr. Kelly said that the crew had undoubted-
ly violated a rule Of the company in leaving
a locomotive alone, but that 1t had not been
decided to censure him. The question is IN
