BRIEF SESSION IN THE MORNING

BRIEF SESSION In The MOfN1N6.
There was a brief session of the court
In the morning during which Otto was
examined without result In the after
noon he was again placed on the stand
and questioned closely in regard TO the
knife He said that the captain was
nearer the table, where the knife had
been, than the defendant and he testi-
fed further he saw no knife In the
hand of either cabin boy or captain.
Pinned down closely he said that he
did not see both hands of either OF
them He testified also that he did not
know whether the captain wore hat
or not, all he could see was that the
captain smoked a pipe, He as on the
day before. anxious to aid the cabin
boy and when Il came to point of i'm
plicating the boy, would eyade ques-
lions entirely. With the developments
of yesterday however, and the state
nent of the boy, accusing him, the
cook will no doubt now retaliate by
telling the true story of the fight, I'M
less perhaps he is himself implicated.
He has already weakened and after the
hearing yesterday told United States
Attorney Breckons that Tanbara did,
kill the captain. He said the reason
for the act was that the captain had
abused the boy, and made him work
harder one day because he (the boy
was drunk, and this Gusaburo did not
like.

THE BOY WANTS FAIR TRIAL.
When Otto had finished, the defendant
said he had no questions to ask of him
do you want to make statement?
he was then asked by the court.
II want to know whether l am to-
have a fair trial. and a jury trial"
Commissioner Gill replied that he
would explain those things, and then
made the following statement:
You have been arrested under COM
plant signed by H. Meyer. the first mate
of the schooner Fred j. Wood. charged
with the murder of the captain. Jorgen j.
Jacobsen on the 30th day of July, A. ID.
1902 Your present examination has been
held before me as United States Commits
sioner for the purpose of determining
whether you shall be held TO answer TO
an investigation to be made by grand
jury concerning the murder of the cap
tain and for this purpose only. You are
not on trial for the offense. nor can any
finding made by me determine in any
manner your guilt or innocence On this
examination the United States government
has now finished and concluded its case.
There is no law under which you are re-
quired now to either introduce witnesses
or to make any statement yourself FUR
Their, it is not probable that any testimony
of witnesses to be introduced by you,
or any statement made by you, either
suit of my finding. I further desire TO
state to you tha6 any statement freely and
voluntarily made by you at this time may.
should the government so elect, be used
against you on the trial of your case,
should you be indicted for the murder of
the captain. On the other hand, ii is my
duty to state to you that you have the
right on this hearing to have witnesses
called to testify in your defense, and il
is your right to testify yourself, or to
make any statement you may desire I'm
der these conditions, do you desire to call
any witnesses. or take the stand or make
g statement yourself2'
The boy began the recital of his story
then as given above. Following the
close of the statement he was again
asked by United States Attorney if his
statement had been maze free and
voluntary and without promise of any
thing,
Yes replied the boy. Il am giving
you my free and voluntary statement
regardless Of everything else. that is
the simple reason why I ask you TO
keep tais man in court, so he can hear
the statement" Court was adjourned
until this morning at nine O'Clock.

SHORTENING ITS LINE
Contract for Improvements
Soon to Be Awarded.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 25.-Although the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad manage
mcnt has expended s75. 600 600 within the
past six years improving its system, the
expenditure Of another large sum has
been decided upon for the purpose OF
shortening its line from Baltimore TO
pittsburs. The contracts for the pro-
posed Improvement will soon be awarded
It is proposed TO build short cut from
Hancock, Nd. TO Bedford. Pa. Another
short line viii be constructed from Bed
ford 20 Gratztown. a small town on the
Fittsburg and ConneIlsville branch Of the
Baltimore and Ohio road. With this short
line the distance from Baltimore to
Pittsburg viii be Icssened fifty miles.
A most interesting feature of this new
line is the utilization of the I'D South
Penn Railroad. which became an
object Of great interest wuen originally
planned to serve as a connecting fink for
the Vanderbilts when they proposed en-
tering Baltimore. The Pennsylvania
headed on the move and later the two
arrangements adjusted differences.
This project was abruptly stopped and
the charter. with the property rights ac-
quired. passed into the hands OF individ-
uals whose identity was unknown, but
who, nevertheless, represented the Penn
sylvania Railroad.
There is no doubt that the active prog
ress Of the Gould plans in connection
With The eastward extension Of the Wa
bash and the known intention Of building
a line from PiJtsburg to meet the West
en Mary yiand has accelerated the start
ing OF this big piece OF work. If the
south Penn project was not utilized there
was nothing to prevent the GouIds con-
demning a right Of way along the same
route.
Another very important consideration
in the construction Of this road is that
both The Pennsylvania and The Baltimore
ana Ohio mauagements have reached the
conclusion that a great increase in the
facilities for handling freight traffic te-
tween Pittsburg and the seabOard is vital
to the continued prosperity Of the Pitts
burg region. AS this. On It's way. relates
TO the welfare OF the largest Industries
of the country. the recurrence OF the
freight blockade which that center suf-
fered can. il is felt. be avsrted only By
radical expansion Of the present facili-
ties.

A SUNDAY MORNING RIOT.
White and COlOred People at Indian
apolis Indulge in a Free Fight
at Ball Game.

indianapolis, Ind, Aug, 25.--A race
riot broke out Sunday, at Haughville,
a suburb of this city, between 200 ne
groes and whites employed by the
National Malleable Casting Co. There
has been bitter race feeling between
them for several years and trouble
has frequently broken out. Two peo-
pie have already been killed.
AT ball game Sunday morning the
two factions caused excitement. As
the crowd left the field hostilities
broke out. Stones, bricks, clubs and
other missiles were used. Two hun
dred persons were Immediately
crushed together in a fighting mass.
Twelve or fifteen shots were fired,
and it is reported one negro was shot,
but he was slipped from the field be-
fore the police arrived. The whites
were victorious, driving the blacks
from the field and wounding a num-
ber of them. Several white people
were badly injured. Ten arrests have
been made and others will be made
as rapidly as the persons are found,
The police responded to a riot call,
but on account of the distance did not
arrive until the fight had been fought
to a finish. The officers of the com
pany fear that another outbreak may
follow.

a large crowd and a pleasant time.
There we're about 1000 people pres
