ON CHICAGO [: ROAD
200 MEN { WANT MORE
WAGES.
President Carter of the South Side
Line Offers Increase of
10 Per Cent.

CHICAGO, September 2S:-Afters an all
night session the operating employees of the
South Side elevated railroad (the Alley
I'D, struck at .05 o'clock this smorning
because of the refusal of the company to
grant horizontal increase of 25 cents per
man for ten-hour day.
The decision to strike came after a COM
| mittee had failed to secure any satisfactory
| response to an ultimatum sent to Presi-
dent Leslie Carter's home at 3 O'Clock this
| morning. Over 200 men are out.
The road, however, is not tied up, for as
soon as the notice had been given to strike
the company pressed into service all the
extra men they could get hold of. Trains
are now running with good deal of reg
ularity.
The strike is the first in the history of
Chicago's elevated railroads.
President William Timmons of the Ele-
waited Trainmen's Union said that by noon
today the whole road would be tied up.
The strikers claim that out Of the total
force of 2S2 operatives all but forty have
struck. Union pickets have been detailed
at all the stations on the road to influence
employees going to work or running trains
to join the ranks of the strikers
President Leslie Carter of the ALLEY L.
at noon made the following statement:
About 250 men are directly or Indirectly
affected by the strike. The motormen did
not go out, nor did the yardmen. About
10 guards are regularly employed by the
company, and we cannot tell how many of
them went on strike until all the night re-
ports are in. The trains are now running
on a schedule of four minutes instead of
three and half, and we have gained one
and one-half minutes in the schedule since
Z am"
The union men declare that should the
ALLEY l. succeed in operating with nom
poi1tan and Northwestern elevated lines
and the Union loop will join in the move
for better conditions.
Superintendent Morrison sof, the elevated
sald that the strike was already a failure,
and all but thirty-five of the. old men had
returned to work. The strikers in refer
ence to this statement said that number
OF strikers had been fooled by a report that
there had been a wreck on the road and
hurried to lend their assistance When
they found that the report was unfounded
they again left. The elevated emuloyes or
ganized about ten days ago, in preparation
for the strike.
President Carter said later that he ad-
mitted that the men had proper grievances
but they had denied him the time he had
asked to consider the matter, and that now
ne could not be coerced into yielding. At
6lst and 63d streets the first trouble oc-
CURED. The air brakes of two trains were
cut, .and a delay of fifteen minutes re-
suited.
Shortly after noon President Carter and
representatives of the strikers held a brief
conference. Mr.. Carter said he had offered
10 per cent increase to all the men on the
road. The strikers are said to be looking
with favor on accepting -thts proposition,
and 1t is thought probable that by night
the strike will be declared off. OFFICIALLY. At
noon trains were still running with but
little irregularity.

HELD TO BE OIL LANDS.
Immense Area in Wyoming Suspend
ed From AEric ultural Entry.

An immense area in Wyoming is involved
in decision rendered yesterday by Mr..
Richards, assistant commissioner of the
general land office, on recommendations
for the suspension from agricultural entry
Of 1853 townships in the Douglas land dis
trict, additional to twenty -four townships
suspended by the commissioner November
10. 1900. The decision relieves from the
suspension four Of the townships suspended
November 10, 1900; suspends forty-two
townships from agricultural entry, and de-
MES requests of petitioners for the suspen-
sion of the remaining townships. The
forty-two townships now suspended aggre-
gate 967 $50 acres. THE townships" ac-
cording to the decision, appear to contain
oil in paying quantities, or such evidences
of the existence of oil as would Justify
their suspension from present disposition
under the agricultural land laws that op-
portunity may be given to develop them as
mineral"

If so. the probability is that you have

that catarrh is confined TO the head.
This Is not true. Catarrh may effect

JUDGE FINLEY
CHARGED WITH
GROSS FRAUD
Probate Judge of Kiowa Co.
Must Answer to Governor
DILL MAKES COMPLAINT
Says Matter of Proving Up
Townsite Costs Too Much.

Guthrie, O. T.. Dec. B.-Serious charges
have been filed with Governor Ferguson
against Harrison Finley. probate judge
of Kiowa county. in connection with
the proving up Of the townsite OF Dll'
formerly Lone Wolf.
At the time Of the opening Of the new
country, a town was established on the
survey OF the Orient railroad called Dill.
The old townsite of Lone Wolf was
abandoned in order that the probate
judge might prove up the townsite y
townsite commission was appointed by
Finley. consisting Of Gillett, Appleby and
Dysart The persons who took lots there
paid one dollar down for certificates,
with the understanding that they were
to get the deeds on December i. About
81 200 was turned over 10 the townsite
commissioners, and according TO charges
made, this money has never been ac-
counted for.
Claims amounting to 5000 have been
put in by various parties, INCLUDING John
A. Blair, county commissioner Judge
Finley, Judge Dill, townsite man for the
Orient. and two other men, Lane and
Slocum, of Hobart. The persons pur-
chasing lots are supposed TO pay the bills
Of teh commissioners and other when
they get thei rdeeds. other townsites
have been proved up for $3.50 and less
and the citizens Of Dll have made Wig
orous complaint.
Acting upon the advice of Governor
Ferguson, Attorney General Strang sent
the following telegram to Probate Judge
Finley at Hobart:
Charges Of gross frauds in the proving
TIP Of the t0wnsite Of Dill have been filed
with the governor. The governor wishes
deeds held up until the matter can be
investigated"
Action VIII probably be brought to re-
move Judge Finley from Office. In case
the deeds are issued on the 2lst. the cit
liens can enjoin the officials from dis
posing Of their property until the mat
ter is definitely settled It is possible
that an injunction viii be brought in
case the probate judge and others do not
heed the request of Attorney General
Strang. From all <adications, the of
ficials here believe that it is a case of
too much Orient, as Judge Dill is town
site man for that road. and it is alleged
that John A. Blair, one of the county
commissioners, is also connected with
the Orient. There is no way open for
the removal of these officials but by pro-
cess Of law. II the charges are proven.
which seems possible. this action will be
brought.
