ELECTRIC COMPETITION
STEAM LINES PREPARING TO HOLD
HEIR PASSENGER TRAFFIC..
wabash Purchases Ground mt Pitts
Tighten Its Hold mt Toledo.

While the number of steam railways that
have trolley-line competition are taking
steps TO protect themselves against the
inroads on their business. none have gone
farther than the Dayton & Union Railway
Company, which is owned by the Big Four
and the Cincinnati. Hamilton q Dayton.
Some months ago w. F. Stark, superintend-
ent of the Dayton & Union joint tracks,
put on six trains between Dayton and
Union each way. This number will be in
creased to twelve trains every day IN the
week, including sunday. Some new coaches,
specially designed, have been fitted up for
this line of traffic. They cost $4,000 each,
and are perfect In every detail. Each car
has it's baggage-room, its smoking depart
ment and its ladies' section. All cars have
plate glass windows. perfect ventilation and
light and heating apparatus equal 10 any
emergency. A new feature is the invisible
air brakes, which are inside the truck. TIL
! greatest novelty in connection with the
building Of these new coaches is the Avery
| system of acetylene car lighting, which is
| introduced for the first time in this part of
the country. II is the intention TO cut the
time from Greenville TO Dayton in two.
A test on Tuesday showed that the run
could be made in forty-six minutes. 1t will
also be the aim to cut the rate in two.
Another feature OF the competition the cleo
trio roads will have 10 face is known as the
two-trip ticket, which is about ons-half Of
the regular rate-a feature which will COM
mand general attention. The elegant. COM
Portable trains Of the Dayton & Union will,
In the winter. be very successful. All over
the country there Is now a good deal OF in
terest taken in the increasing competition
between the trolley lines and steam roads.
While the trolley roads have not cut into
the steam trains as much as might be sup
posed they would. il is felt more or less.
IL was thought this new competition would
create new business. and Il has. Time is
demonstrating that the lower fares on the
interurban lines, with a great many people
where their time Is OF little value, are draw
ing travel when the weather is suitable TO
get over the country leisurely. In bad
weather, especially cold, winter weather,
the steam roads, Of course. have the ad-
vantage. but all roads which have trolley
competition to contend with are studying
the problem Of how 10 meet IL best. as in
the case of the indianapolis a. Vincennes,
the Louisville division OF the Pennsyl-
vania lines and the Panhandle. and in
twelve months there will be hardly an Indi-
annapolis road that will not have trolley
competition to contend with.

MOVING DAY AT ACTON
TWENTY-SIX FAMILIES MOVED
HOUSEHOLD GOODS TO GROUNDS.
One of the Quiefest Moving Days I'm
the History of the Assembly
Formal Opening To-Day.

Moving day yesterday at Acton Park
found more people at the park than on like
days in former years. During the day
about twenty-six families went out to the
grounds and unpacked their household
goods and arranged their cottages for the
annual meeting. which begins to-day. One
of the noticeable things about the first day
was the cleanliness of the grounds. No
where was TO be seen even a piece of paper
on the grass. The grounds nave been
cleaned and arranged to make a nice ap-
pearance. From noon until late in the
evening a force Of women was kept busy
washing benches and arranging the furni-
ture in the barnlike structure used for the
Westinghouse.
A great deal OF m was heard about
yesterday being the q~uietest moving day
that was ever known in the history of the
association. A large number of families
have been on the grounds since early in
the spring. The intense heat of the day
kept many from going out and unloading
their furniture. In all, there are about one
hundred families now on the grounds.
The business meeting, which was TO have
been held yesterday, was postponed until
this afternoon on account OF several of the
trustees being away and unable TO be pres
ent. Mrs. Gadd, or indianapolis, who was
elected secretary of the association at the
meeting held in May, has resigned her Of
fee, and in her stead Miss Akin, daughter
of the county recorder. l.. G. Akin, is act
ing secretary. Miss Akin was kept quite
busy yesterday recording names of new
corners and listing the cottages and getting
receipts ready.
No new cottages have been erected during
the past year and little improvements made
on the grounds.
To-day is the formal opening of the camp.
The morning will be devoted to a praise
meeting, and at $3.50 O'Clock this afternoon
Rev. c.. w. Tinsley will give the opening
sermon. This evening at 7:45 O'Clock a
special song service, conducted by William
L. Steeg, will be given. This latter service
promises TO be one of the features of the
camp this summer. a large chorus has
been in training for some time.

ed and protected by a written Consti-
tuition. into an era of legislative abso-
lutism, in respect of many rights that
are dear to all people who love free
dom"
This is strong, especially the express
sion IAN era of legislative absolutism."
But after all. chosen as the United
states Congress is, it would mean an
era of majority absolutism Chief
Justice Fuller explains the position as
follows:
"The logical result is that Congress
may prohibit commerce altogether be-
tween the states and territories, and
may prescribe one rule of taxation in
one territory and a different rule in
another. That theory assumes that the
Constitution created a government en-
powered to acquire countries through
out the world. to be governed by differ
ent rules than those obtaining in the
original states and territories, and sub
stitutes for the present system of re-
publican government a system of do
mination over distant provinces in the
exercise of unrestricted power"
1t is difficult to answer this argument
of the Chief Justice, but it is also still
more difficult to controvert the fact
that, once started upon it's present
career, it would be possible that the
new Territories like Porto Rico and
the Philippines could be governed by
the same rules that obtained in the
original states. The people are utterly
unprepared and unqualified to exercise
the power which ages of training and
heredity make second nature to the
Anglo-SaXon and the Teuton. There
must be a long period of protection,
and of education. Results will not be
obtained in a couple of years, they will
not be obtained in a generation. The
change has come in the United States
and the change had to be met.
Naturally what most interests us
in this Territory is the effect of the
decision upon our own interests. This
it is perhaps not wise to consider too
quickly. AS a snap judgment, however,
the decision will not Immediately
affect us, because we have our organic
act, but it may affect us later, because
in following out a policy Congress may
tear up our organic act. Our doings
in the Legislature will not have help
ed us very much either. 1t leaves us
swinging in the air as it were.

That there should be objections to
saloon on the waterfront is by no means
surprising. The matter has been dis
cussed and argued for lone time, and
it seemed the intention of the Treasur-
er not to issue a license in that locality.
The objection is that the men are prone
to drink under circumstances, but that
at present in order to get drink, they
have to go up town to get it. With a
saloon close at hand they would be
forever tipping. Many of them would
be unfit for work, and their wives and

MURDER MAY HAVE
Been COMMITTED,
Body of Man Whose Skull Had
Been Fractured Taken
From River.

Captain Schroeder of the Second District
police is investigating what he thinks is a
murder mystery.
The body Of man whose skull had been
badly crushed was pulled ashore at the
foot of Keol1uk street at o'clock yester-
day morning. It was taken to the Morgue
where it is held pending a Coroner's in
quest, which probably will take place to-
day.
John Burger. fisherman who lives al
the foot of Keokuk street. in a shauty
boat. pulled the body ashore.
At the morgue it was found that the left
side OF the skull had been crushed in. On
the left temple there is a clean sharp cut
indicating blow with an ak or some sharp
instrument.
Deputy Coroner Doctor Boogher. who ex-
amined the body. said 1t is barely possible
that the wound could have been inflicted
after the body got in the river. by contact
with steamboat but he said the proha-
bility is that the fracture was inflicted b.
fore the body was thrown OF fell into the
river.
Chief OF Detectives Desmond has as
signed two of his men to the case. but up
to a late hour last night no clew had been
found which would lead to the mans iden-
tity. much less to the manner OF his death.
