Knightstown. has resulted chiefly in embit-
tering the people Of Greenfield against both
Knightstown and the traction company
There is feeling here that Hancock coun-
~, knowing its rights, is bound to maintain
them, and that the demonstration by the
Charlottesville mob was only an answer In
kind TO a demonstration in force against
the peace and health Of the county.
At O'Clock tonight car was brought In
from Knightstown loaded with men and
boys. They removed a barricade on the
track at Charlottesville. and when they ar
rived here the men jumped off and went to
a nearby saloon for drinks. They then re-
turned TO Knightstown. but were back here
about 9:50. This time the demonstration by
Greenfield citizens was so threatening that
no one got of the car and it was run back
TO the other end.
Under the direction of DR.. Selman, sec
retary of the Board of Health, Sheriff Lar
rabee went TO Charlottesville tonight with
authority to swear in sufficient deputies to
prevent any further breaking Of the quar-
antine.

FREE RURAL DELIVERY
GROWTH OF THE SYSTEM AND ITS
GREAT POPULARITY.
Indiana Has 761 Routes and Applica-
tions for 81 More Are Pending
Mr.. Machen's Statement.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2-When Perry 5.
Heath inaugurated the rural delivery sys-
tenn about four years ago a great many
people predicted it was a foolish PROPOSE
ton, and that in very short time the gov
ernment would abandon the experiment.
A statement made to-day by Superintend-
ent Machen, of the free delivery service,
proves beyond all doubt that these people
made a wrong prophecy. 1t shows that
since that time q, ,645 petitions for the estab-
lshment of routes have been received; that
1OO25 routes were in operation Aug. 1 and
that 43s would be established Sept l. Indi-
ana has been very fortunate, the report
shows that 761 routes were in operation the
1st of the month. Since the inauguration of
the system 1,43O petitions for the establish
ment of routes have been received and only
ninety eight were rejected and 571 are now
pending.
great deal of credit for this showing is
due the senators and representatives in
Congress, who impressed their constituents
with the Importance and value of rural free
delivery and told them how it was possible
for them to enjoy the privileges. Indiana
makes as good a showing as any other
State and has as many complete county
services as any other State. In a county
where a complete service is established
about IS per cent of the postmasters lose
their positions, which caused a great deal
of objection at the start, but the clamor
for the service by the farmers is so great
that the protests of the postmasters and
their friends have ceased to receive a great
amount Of consideration.

mour. Ind, is in Washington on business.

DIR. Hurry Says Only Persons That Are
Vaccinated Are Safe.

"Our smallpox troubles have not more
than begun" said Secretary Hurry, of the
State Board Of Health yesterday. Three
men recently have been taken off trains in
this State suffering from smallpox, and
with the railroads distributing the disease
we cannot hope TO prevent its spread by
quarantine. Only those persons that are
vaccinated are safe. I was notified to-day
that a man named Zagel had arrived al his
home in Fort Wayne from Colorado Springs
broken out with smallpox. Zagel is an anti
vaccinationist. OF course, many persons
were exposed TO infection while in the car
with him. The man suffering from small
pox who was taken off train at Richmond
ten days ago has recovered, but another
man with smallpox was found OH a train at
Richmond to-day He came from Sullivan
county"
Secretary Hurry was informed by tele-
phone yesterday afternoon that several
cases of smallpox had broken out at the
town Of Roll, in Blackford county. He
telephOned to the health officer OF Black
ford county to go to Roll Immediately. The
business men of the town oppose quaran-
tine. "Our money is about gone" said DIR.
Hurry, land can't do much more in the
way OF prevention"

ed in the ships culinary work. Mrs. Rat
cliffes condition is delicate and IL is said
she will have TO be sent to a hospital.
Ratciffe satisfied Immigrant Commission
er Weis that while a resident of California
some years ago he had been naturalized as

was released. The couple probably will go

BABE STARVED TO DEATH
EIGHT OTHER INFANTS ALLEGED TO
HAVE MET THE SAME FATE.
Arrest of Chicago Woman on a
Serious Charge-StOry Told by
n kidnapped Girl.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-The police have ar
rested Mrs Neil Campbell. of No. 655 Grand
avenue. on a charge of allowing an infant
to die from insufficient nourishment 1t is
alleged that within the last three years
eight other infants have been buried from
the woman's house. Yesterday DR.. welfeld
was called TO the Campbell house to attend
the infant which has since died He found
it in such a condition that he refused to is
sue a death certificate, claiming that the
child died of starvation.
The assertion that eight children have
died in the house is made by Viola Camp
bell, fourteen years of age. Mrs. Campbell
says that she is the mother Of the girl, who
claims that Mrs. Campbell has said on
other occasions that she was not a relative
of hers A letter was received at the
Campbell house three weeks ago, the girl
claims, which was written by John Reade,
a printer of. Cincinnati. In this letter Reade
told the girl that he was her father and
that she had been kidnapped from her home
in Cincinnai ten years ago.
Concerning the children who, according to
the girl, have died in the house, Viola
Campbell says they were received from a
woman living on Wells street in this city.
She says that they were obtained by Mrs
Campbell because her husband had threat
ened to leave her because they were with
out children. None of the children lived
long. Mrs. Campbell claims that the child
that died Friday was the daughter of her
dead sister, and while denying that there
have been eight deaths in her house, ad-
mitted TO the police that three children had
died in her house within the last few
months.
There is no evidence against Mrs Camp
bell save that of the girl Viola Campbell
but Police Inspector Wheeler, who has the
case in charge, declares that he believes
her story, and says that the bodies of the
children that have died will be exhumed in
order to determine their number The girl
declares that they were all buried in one
lot in Calvary Cemetery.

Quiets the Women and Helps Replace
the Car-FataI Traction Accident
Near Hudson, n. Y.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Aug. 2.-The Terre
Haute limited train on the Vandalia struck
a trolley car at the Thirteenth-street cross
ing at 10 o'clock tonight. Three persons
were probably fatally injured and six 9TH
ers were seriously hurt. The casualties:
JOHN M'NARY, motorman, hurt inter-
nally; probably fatally.
JOHN DAVIS, left side badly cut and in
jured internally; probably fatally
UNKNOWN MAN, skull fractured both
arms and right leg broken; cannot recover.
MRS. MARY ELORY, left leg broken.
JAMES r. PRUNER, right shoulder
broken and head hurt
ISAAC NJ. RUMLEY, head badly cut.
LEE MEADE, right leg broken.
MRS. IDA MAY PRUNER, cut about
face.
DAVID COLLINS, two ribs broken.
RUTH SOLOMON, face cut
MRS. JENNIE RUMLEY, bruised about
body
The accident was due TO the fact that the
watchman at the railroad crossing gave
the signal for the car 10 go ahead. and
raised the gates after a string of freight
cars was cut at the crossing TO give the
street the right of way. He did not
notice the passenger train. The conductor
of the street car, who went head of the
car, saw the passenger train approaching,
but not until too late to avoid the collision
McNary, the injured motorman, also saw
the train and he gave his car full speed in
hopes of crossing in safety. The train
struck the rear end of the car and most of
the passengers injured were seated on the
four rear seats. The force of the collision
turned the car half way around.
With three exceptions all of the twenty
one passengers remained in their seats
until after the train had passed.
The motorman's injuries were the result
OF being thrown heavily TO the ground by
the quick turn. Davis was standing on the
rear platform and was carried fifty feet on
the pilot of the engine.

ALABAMA REPUBLICANS.
They VIII Hold state Convention
and Nominate Ticket.

BIRMINGHAM. Ala. Aug. AT a
meeting of the State Republican executive
committee here to-day, at which it was de-
cided to call a State convention in Bir-
mingham. Sept. 16 to nominate full State
ticket, a resolution was adopted which il
is claimed will practically deprive the ne
groes of representation in the party. The
resolution is as follows
Resolved. That only those shall be rec
ognized and be permitted TO participate in
the State and county convention and be
present at meetings who are duly qualified
voters under the new Constitution OF Ala
bama.'
The effect OF this will be TO make the
Republican party in Alabama a white
mans party, as under the new Constitu-
ton of the State the negroes are prac-
tically all disfranchised This action of
the executive committee was in accordance
with the programme agreed on at a har-
mony meeting OF the Republicans held
here Friday. The negro Republicans are
very much disgruntled at the action OF
the committee and say they will appeal 10
the national executive committee. One
negro delegate stated that he would advise
bloodshed II necessary 10 enforce the rights
OF his race.

are available to all new companies that
may wish to enter the city over its tracks.
The Terminal franchise was also amended
so that IT will construct the crosstown lines
and extensions, except the reconstruction
of the Brightwood line into double track
system east of Columbia avenue and the
changed. Instead of continuing across
Nineteenth TO Talbot avenue IL will when
it reaches Central avenue, turn north to
Twenty-second street, thence west to Illi-
nois street, incidentally connecting with the
''Y'' of the Pennsylvania street line, and
thence south to Twenty-first street and
across the present tracks TO North Indian
apolis, continuing out either Twenty-sev-
enth or Thirtieth street to Riverside Park.
AT Twenty-second street and Illinois street
it will also turn north to Fair Bank and
Fairview Park.
ALMOST ENCIRCLES CITY.
The so-called cross-town belt line lacks
one connection to make it continuous from
Prospect street and the Belt road around
the city to Brightwood. This hiatus is be-
tween Emrichsville and the south terminus
of the Riverside Park loop. 1t is not now
deemed safe to cross the river bridge at
this point. but whenever safe passage may
be secured the connection will be made
The system of both companies will be prac-
tically one, and the connecting lines are so
arranged that it will hardly be possible to
find one that will not connect with this
belt system, thus minimizing downtown
transferring.
The franchise was also made to read that
the terminal systematic inner loop on Dell
aware, Ohio, Capitol avenue and Georgia
streets-and the freight stations must be
completed within twelve months from the
date Of taking effect of the contract The
passenger sheds and waiting rooms of the
passenger station must also be COMPLETED
within twelve months, but the other por-
tions of the building are given eighteen
months. The loop on New York West
South and East streets may be built at any
time within five years, but after three years
the board reserves the power TO require its
construction at once.
The passage of the ordinances approvin q
all these franchises without delay means
that ground will be broken for the huiId-
ings and the construction of tracks within
sixty days. Mr.. MCGOWAN still declines to
discuss the sites Of his passenger and
freight stations. When he was asked yes

ARRANGEMENTS were made yesterday n
have all the interurban officials meet in a
body tomorrow and sign the documents ar
the same time. The contracts between the
companies and Mr.. MCGOWAN REQUIRE him
to have full terminal facilities ready for
them within twelve months. For the nres-

SEMI-OFFICIAL THREAT.
Russia May Disregard Treaties If
Duty on Her Sugar Be Raised.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. At is semi
officially announced that the Russian min
lister of finance expects a reply in the
negative from the powers to the note re-
garding international action against trusts.
When such replies are received the Rus
sian government will once more affirm that
any increase in duties on Russian sugar
will be regarded infringement of ex-
listing treaties, and if such increase is en-
forced the Russian government will con-
slider itself free TO disregard its treaty stip-
ulation. The minister of finance does not
propose to take measures against the pow
ers collectively but special circumstances
in each case will be considered with view
TO the adoption of the measure most ad-
vantages to Russia. 1t is known, however,
that Russia already intends TO raise the
duties on wine and several classes of goods
imported by trusts, chiefly by way of the
western land frontier.
