Ocala, Fla. an. 16.--Norman McKin-

wrecking the Plant System fast train

share the same fate if they are caught.
In less than two hours after the wreck
in which the engineer was killed, the
Citrus County officers were on the trail

were made before Nonday at noon. All
of the arrestS were on suspicion and
several of them were liberated, proving
conclusive,y that they were not the
guilty parties Monday afternoon Nc
Kinney seemed to be taking a deep
interest IN the affair and was promptly
arrested by tho officers also on suspi-
cion. That night he was questioned so
closely and told so many conflicting
stories that it was decided to carry him
to Inverness to the county Jail.
On the way a MOB of so or more over

was wrecked for the purpose of rob-
berry, he was hanged to tree. The
coroner's jury returned the verdict that
he met death at the hands of parties

FEARS AMERICA AND GERMANY
RoseberY Speaks of the Commercial Warfare
Waged Against England.
(By the Associated Press,)


London, Jan. 16--The Earl of Rosebery
responding to a toast to his health this
evening at the annual banquet of the
Wolverhampton Chamber of Commerce,
spoke of the great commercial warfare
being waged against England, and said
the chief rivals to be feared were AmeTi-
ca and Germany.
"The Americans" he said, scarcely
satisfied with gigantic individual fortunes,
use these by combination to make OF capi-
tai power which, welded by one or two
minds, is almost irresistible; and, if this
power is concentrated against Great
Britain in trade warfare, it will be
danger we cannot afford to disregard.
"a trust of many millions might COM
pete with any trade in England, under
selling all her products at a considerable
loss This is a possible outcome OF the
immediate future curious feature,
seems to be that in combination with the
faculty for the acquisition of money there
is a complete contempt for money except
as a means of making more.
England, in order to withstand inter
national competition, must thoroughly
educate her youth; and / would suggest
sending patches of young men abroad to
learn the best our rivals know"

Roads Operating Under This

The Savannah, Florida and Western viii Ac-

lBy the Associated Press.l

Savannah. Ga, Jan. 16.-It was learned
today that a reorganization of the rail
roads included in the Plant System, in
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and
Florida had been agreed upon. The Sa-
yannah. Florida and Western is to be the
leading line in the reorganization IL
is to acquire the stock of the other lines
comprising the system and issue preferred
stock upon all the property included IN
the consolidation. The lines to be IN
cluded in the new scheme are the Savan-
nah, Florida and Western; the Charleston
and Savannah, the Brunswick and WesS-
ern; the st. Johns River Railway, for-
merly the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key
West); the Florida Southern; the silver
Springs Ocala and Gulf the Green Pond,
Walterboro and Branchville; the Abbe-
VILE Southern and the Southwestern Ala

There has been marked activity in the
bonds of these corporations in the mark
cts during the recent past. This led TO
rumors that the Southern Railway was

present developments it seems that the
Plant Investment Company was the active
party in the markets. 1t is said that the
object of the Plant people is to simplify
the work of the auditing department. One
directing board, too, it is claimed, could
manage the whole system quite as ex-
peditiously, as the several boards which
now direct their affairs. Some four or five
minor lines of the Plant System will not
be included in the reorganization, but
their mileage is insignificant.

DENIAL BY DEATH AND FRIENDS.
They Claim II at They Acted as Friends Of
Jennie Bosschieter
(By the Associated Press.)

Paterson, n. j.. Jan. 16.--Counsel for
the defence in the Jennie Bosschieter
murder trial today practically closed
their case. William A. Death, Walter l..
McAlister and Andrew Campbell, the
three men on trial for the murder, told
their versions of the events of the night
Jennie Bosschieter met her death while
in their company. Their testimony va
ried but little as to details. The plea
set up by counsel for the three defendants
was a general and specific denial of all
the accusations made against the men.
He opened with an attack on the moral
character of the dead girl and claimed
tthat the prisoners were in no way re-
.sponsible for the death of Jennie Boss
chieter. He denied that she had been
drugged, that she had been i'll treated and
assaulted.
McAlister Death and Campbell were all
on the stand Their testimony was that
they were acting on a generous impulse
when they took the girl out of the saloon
to the hack. They claimed that she was
"jolly drunk for time in the back
room of Saal's saloon; said she was joking
and laughing after the first drink; that
she became "dopey" after taking the
absinthe and then became dead drunk.
They had thought a drive in the fresh
air would do her good and had taken her
across the river out into the country.
The assault was denied. They had lifted
the girl out of the hack because she was
sick and they had conducted themselves
like humanitarians in their efforts to
bring her back to her senses. They had
taken her to the brook to obtain water.
They would have taken her home after
she was dead but when they reached the
neighborhood they saw persons about.
The State which was beaten yesterday
in the effort to introduce the confession,
said to have been made by Campbell, sue
ceeded in getting it all in in even more
detailed manner than would have been
possible yesterday.
DR.. Charles j. Loffer, of New York
city, who was called by the defense. said
he had seen persons knocked OUT by
absinthe.
Prosecutor Emley asked him the hypo-
thetical question:
''If person had died after taking abb
sinthe, and chloral was found in the
stomach, what would you say she died
OF"
From choral poison. was the reply.
Tomorrow the summing up will occur
and probably the case will be left with
