ALL-DAY JAM AT UNION STATION
Crowds Yesterday Exceeded All
Records for Fourth.

Union Station was stormed by travellers
yesterday. The morning and evening rush,
the incoming and outgoing contingent, eX-
ceeded all records, so the station officials
say. Hundreds were turned away, unable
20 catch their trains in the morning be-
cause they could not get their tickets in
time. The ticket sellers were unable to
hand out the tickets fast enough to the
struggling buyers. It was case OF first
come, first served" and the weaker and
tardy ones were not served at all until
long after their trains had pulled out.
Though heavy business is always looked
for at this holiday time the fact that a
triple holiday existed largely increased the
number Of tourists who, having three days
to themselves. wanted to profit by it by
leaving the city for a vacation. Mondays
incoming trains will doubtless carry heavy
loads as a result
travellers who leave carry baskets and
fishing tackle. expecting to return the
same night. Yesterday It was different.
Most Of them carried telescopes or vaEses,
indicating that their stay was to last sew
eral days. The trolley lines also cared for
many OF those who in the past relied on
steam railroads 10 carry them TO places
more than ten miles distant. Yet, with all
the electric competition. ii was evident that
the tide OF steam travellers was extremely
heavy.
It should be borne in mind that on holi-
days the cars are always taxed beyond their
capacity, and the number OF passengers US
uaily carried IN cars was far exceeded yes
teroay OF necessity. Half rates were grant
ed on all railroads within q radius of 200
miles OF ST. Louis, and this concession was
taken advantage of by many on the night
Of July 3 in leaving and arriving.
AS indicating the extent of the business
done by the railroads the number of cars

Started the town talking about the case
with renewed vigor. and every one is wait
ing TO hear the facts in detail related at
the preliminary examination. when It IS
resumed here before Magistrate Foster next
week.
This new evidence. District Attorney
Smith and Detective Field believe. proves
beyond question that Disbrow. Foster and
Sarah Lawrence went out on the Tiana Bay
in the same boat. Even the suicide theory
is exploded in the face Of this evidence.
SMALL, LEAKY BOAT
WAS NOT OCCUPIED.
1t will be proved By three witnesses that
the small. lealy boat. in which. at first 1t
was supposed that Foster and the girl had
taken their fatal trip, was not occupied by
any one on the night Of the drowning.
This will be established by the finding Of
the iron oar locks, strung on a rope and
tied 10 a seat in the boat when Il was
found on the beach the next morning in
precisely the same condition as when the
boat was tied TO the dock the night before.
This shows that the boat must have been
sent adrift by some one during the night
and the theory is that 1t was done by Dis
brow.
When the alarm was given along Tana
Bay on the morning OF June 10 that Clar-
ence Foster and Sarah Lawrence were
missing. one OF the first things noticed was
the disappearance OF 4 small boat from the
landing near the Ternell Hotel. The boat
