May Take a Boom.
officials of many of the important West
srn lines which enter St Louis are at pres
ent considerably alarmed, and, perhaps,
justly SO, over the possibility of having to
meet another competitive road. There
are strong possibilities that little road,
now known as the ST. Louis, Kansas City
and Colorado, extending sixty-five miles
west from ST Louis, will be made Il COM
peting line as far as Kansas city, and
probably clear into the Colorado terri
tory. If this is done it will cause
rather Industrious stir among the officials
of the Burlington, Missouri Pacific, Wa
bash and the Alton.
According to the last annual report of
this small road there vas deficit in its
receipts for the year, but it nevertheless
is regarded as an important factor. The
road is now the property of former Gov.
David R. Francis. of Missouri, and Iowa
associates. The roads above named and
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas, and the
st. Louis & San Francisco are all bidding
tor the property, but it is not probable
that the present owners will SELL as they
have announced their intention to make
the extensions mentioned above and put
the lire in the forefront with other
Western roads.

MILLER'S TRIAL
The Secrets Of The Franklin Syndi-
cate May Be Revealed.

NEW YORK, April g. William F.
Miller, Of Franklin Syndicate fame,
whose name has rung throughout the
continent as the chief promoter and
manager of one OF the most gigantic
schemes over devised to gull the pub
lie. was placed On trial yesterday
before Judge Hurd, In the County
Court in Brooklyn. The specific char
ges on which the syndicate mau Is cal
led to answer are those ofgrand larceny
and On this charge there are score
of specific indictments.
So long as Miller kept his money
mill in operation and paid bis 10 per
cent week it was impossible to get q
true bill against him for anything
other than conspiracy, but as soon as
the grand jury Indicted him for con-
spiracy -Miller's scheme collapsed and
evidence up on which to base . more
serious charge was Immediately OBJ
tsinsble.
Seats were at premium In the court
room when the case was called this
morning, large number of those pre-.
sent being witnesses for the state,
some of HON have been brought from
Indiana, Illinois and other portions of
the west.
The defendant has engaged we'll
known attorneys for his defense and
these latter expect to prove that Mil
ler was the dupe of older aud smarter
men.
