EASTERN Men TAKE HOLD
MAKE A TOUR OF INDIANAPOLIS
SOUTHERN RIGHT OF WAY.
Some Changes Made ut Their Instiga-
tion-Eastern Money i'm the
Enterprise.

The Indianapolis Southern Railroad has
again Ieaped into public notice as a result
OF a recent visit to this city of prominent
Eastern financiers. These men. it is now
known, made a tour of inspection of the pro-
posed right of way of the new road that
IS to connect Indianapolis with various
towns and cities in the southern part of
the State. The men in question declared
themselves heartily in sympathy with the
project, and became largely interested in it
I'm a financial way, although they do not
care 10 have their names made public as
yet. II is also known that several local
capitalists OF undoubtedE financial strength
have become interested in a financial way
In the indianapolis Southern. The build
ing OF the road is now declared to be an
assured fact.
Several changes and improvements in
the line OF the indianapolis Southern were
suggested by the Eastern men after they
had finished a tour of the route over
which the road will run. The most i'm
pOrtant change is one that will include
the towns of Sullivan and Bloomington
With the railroad running to these two
towns, indianapolis Will be in direct COM
municatiOn with the great coal fields of
Sullivan and Greene counties. The ad-
vantages that will accrue from this change
In the route can scarcely be estimated,
say the men who are interested in the
project The other changes that have been
suggested are, IT is said. TO the advantage
of the road, although not of the radical
nature that characterizeS the change al
ready noted. Men who are in a position
to know the real facts about the Indian
apoiS Southern say that the Eastern cap
italists that hav become interested i'm il
are OF the aggressive type that push things
10 completion when once begun.
1t is believed that an amicable adjust
ment of the question of a right of way
for the new road into this city will be
reached in a short time.

HE FRIGHTENED A YOUNG MOTHER
WITH BABE IN HER ARMS.
He Attempted to Drag Mrs. Bessie
Thompson, Seventeen Years
Old, Into a Dark Alley.

A negro who viclously attempted to COM
nit an assault on a young woman on New
York street, between Alabama and Della
ware streets, about 9 o'clock last night.

were unable to locate him.
Mrs. Bessie Thompson, seventeen years
of age, living at 1852 Massachusetts ave-
nue., was returning to her home with her
husband. At Alabama street he left her.
When she passed the pump at the Spirit
ualist Church a negro stepped out and
asked her if she did not want a drink.
She was frightened because of his manner,
and answering NO." hurried past him.
As she neared the alley between the two
streets he caught hold of her and tried 10
drag her into the alley. Her belt gave way,
and upon being freed, she ran. She carried
in her arms a six months old babe, and
when she reached home she was exhausted
and trembling from fright. When her hus-
band appeared he was advised of the mat
ter. and at once reported the facts TO the
police. The belt torn from Mrs. Thompson
was carried away by her assailant.

A GIRL COURTED DEATH
MARTHA JACKSON HELD WHILE An
TIDOTES WERE GIVEN
The Bicycle Policemen Had n Long
Chase to Catch Her-Her Rea-
son for Suicide.

Yesterday afternoon, in the vicinity of
Fountain square. an amusing but at the
same time pitiable scene was enacted. DR..
Young, of the City Dispensary. had been
called to Mrs. Drummond's, So Virginia
avenue, to attend a poison case. When he
got there his patient had gone and he sat
down and waited. while Bicycle Policemen
Losh and STREET. chased a sixteen-year-old
girl about the streets, finally catching her
and taking her with force TO DR.. Young.
They then held her while the doctor treated
her.
Two weeks ago Martha Jackson, sixteen
years of age, began working for Mrs.
Drummond. she was unhappy and was dis
posed TO brood over troubles. of which she
said little. Yesterday she went out and
got some laudanum, which she took. Mrs.
DruInmond finally noticed that the.g girl was
acting queerly and decided to call a ply
stefan. While she was gone the girl got
up and ran from the house. The bicycle
policemen were called and they finally
traced her 10 the home of Mrs. Hoover,
1923 Pleasant street. where she was found
by Losh, while STREET. was looking for her
along another street. When Losh went TO
call the ambulance the girl ran put the
back way, and there was another chase.
She was found at Shelby and Pleasant
streets, and then held until the arrival OF
the ambulance, when she was conveyed to
Mrs. Drummond's. She admitted taking the
poison and said she wanted 10 die. She re-
fused TO allow DR.. Young 10 do anything
for her and the bicycle policemen were
obliged to hold her while the antidotes were
administered. After an hours work IL
was thought she would recover.
To the police she said her condition was
due TO the fact that two years ago she had
been taken from her parents, who had not
treated her right. and by the Board OF
Children's Guardians was placed in the
home of Mrs. Hoover. She left there and
went 10 the home Of Mrs. Dillman. ll2S
Evison street. and two weeks ago to Mrs.
Drummond's. She constantly brooded over
her troubles and what she said was the
disgrace Of having been taken away from
her parents.
She said she would make another attempt
upon her life, as she did not want 10 live.
To DR.. Young she made a promise not to
Kill herself.
