PEYTON SURVEY
Adopted at Bakers Hill, Tenn,
By L. &N.
Construction Crew Put to Work
At Once On the Big
Tunnel.

The Louisville and Nashville
Railroad has gone to work at last
to lower the grade of Bakers Hill.
The Burns survey was around
the hill and was made last fall and
winter.
Last spring Engineer Peyton
was put to work on another survey,
with long tunnel under the hill,
without changing the line material
ly.
1t is understood that the property
owners who would have been left
off the road brought strong press
ure to bear against the Burns line
and the Peyton survey was finally
selected by President Smith.
The tunnel will be about 125 feet
under the surface for a long dis
lance, with very deep cuts at each
end. At the end Of one OF these
cuts the station for Bakers Hill
will be located, half mile from the
present depot. A flight of steps
will lead to the top and the present
right of way will be used as a
thoroughfare. A shaft will be
sunk in the middle of the tunnel
and crews Will work bothways and
other crews will work from the
ends, making four crews pushing
the work at the same time.
The construction was begun this
week, with Engineer Appleman in
charge.

PLANS WERE FOILEO
By Young Man Who AwOke When
Thief Entered.

About three o'clock Tuesday
morning a would-be-thief was dis
covered in Mr.. John w. Foard S
house, near Church Hill. Mr.. Jno.
Foard, Jr., was awakened by a
noise in his room. He asked
who's there" three times, and re-
receiving no reply, arose from the
bed to get his revolver, which was
on the mantel, but found that the
intruder was between him and the
gun. The man ran out of the
house and disappeared in the dark
ness. The motive was evidently
robbery, but nothing was secured.
During the warm weather the
doors to the building were left open
and the man found no trouble in
entering the house.

vey is to make one long curve to do
away with a series of short curves
and escape the two hve-mile hills
getting into and out of the Croftou
valley, on which the grade is very
heavy. The proposed new line is
along the original survey of nearly
40 years ago, which was changed
when the work of construction was
begun, to take the road through the
lands OF J. r Croft, who founded
the town of CrOftOn, It is said the
change will cost 100000 and short

IS to 20 minutes.
1t is said that the town council
has recently offended the railroad
people by certain ordinances prohib
ting the obstruction of the right of
way through town with lumber aud
other material for shipment. A
man unloaded some lumber a few
days ago and was fined SIS for vio-
lating the new ordinance and the
railroad people raised a strong pro
test.

12-CLUB CIRCUIT
Consolidation of the National and
American Leagues.

Chicago, Aug. Decentralization of the
National and American leagues into a
tWelve-club circuit is we'll under way,
according to statement made to the
Daily News to-day.
John T. Brush, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee; James "a. Hart, presi-
dent of the Chicago National League
club, and A. H. Soden, president Of the
Boston National League club, and both
members of the executive committee" ,"
says the News, "have been in conference
in Boston for two or three days and have
opened negotiations with the clubs of the
American league toward the consolida-
tion of these two organizations. This, 1t
is said, is the real reason for the present
trip of Mr.. Hart in the east and the trips
about the circuit of both the Chicago
magnates and the chairman Of the ex-
ecutive committee.
According to this informant, plans have
been laid for some time and are nearly
matured for the consolidation of these
leagues into what will be known here
after as either the Standardization or
the AmericanNational league. Imme
diately after the close of the baseball
season or as soon thereafter as circum-
stances will permit a conference of the
presidents of the baseball clubs of the
two leagues will be called by Mr.. Brush.
League officials will be barred from the
session, only club magnates being ad-
mitted. The proposition to end the war
between the organizations in an amicable
manner will then be presented to them
and a vote taken to cast the clubs to-
gether into one organization. There are
twelve cities in the two circuits now, so
that none of them need be dropped.'

ASYLUM SCANDALS
Testimony Against Illinois Trustee
by an Attendant
ABSOLUTE DENIAL is MADE
The Attendant Is Also Arrested
On the Charge OF
Perjury.
ABSOLUTE DENIAL is MADE

Kankakee. ILL.,, Aug. 12.-Arrested at 8
o'clock charged with perjury,> was what
happened this morning to Harry H. Ball
of Chicago, one of the witnesses who tes-
titled here last night before the state
board of charities in the investigation Of
the management of the state asylum for
the insane.
Ball was former attendant and nurse
at the hospital and made a sworn charge
that he had seen Trustee w. E. Murphy
staggering drunk from whisky taken in
the drugroom of the administration build
ing one night after midnight and that on
another occasion the same trustee had
gone to bedroom with a nurse late at
night, causing the night clerk to awaken
the nurse for the purpose.
The charge, which was dramatically
made by Ball at the investigation late
last night, was Immediately contradicted
under oath In every particular by Trustee
Murphy, who was corroborated by tes-
timony Of Night Clerk William Craxen
and another witness to the effect that
Murphy had never been in the asylum at
night during the time mentioned.
After the adjournment of the hearing
last night an effort was made to take out
a warrant for Balls arrest but the state S
attorney was stranded five miles down the
river and difficulty was found in locating
Ball. 1t was not until 3 o'clock that his
whereabouts was learned and he was sud
denly aroused from sleep at his
hotel and hurried to Jail.
Ball is at present an employe of the
Chicago city railway. His alleged motive
for the false testimony charged was a
desire to be revenged for his suspension
from the hospital for fighting, the sus-
pension having been made by the asylum
board of trustees, Of whom Trustee
Murphy Is one.

LEMONS To PITRN

New York, Aug. 12-The appraiser at this
port has sold for the government in the last
three weeks 100, 900 boxes lemons because the
importers declined to pay duty ON them.
Most Of the lemons imported here come from
Mediterranean ports and the amount has been
greatly increased within a few years. The
chief reason for the present glut Is believed
to be because there has been no prolonged
hot spell. Fewer lemons have been con-
suned and the visible supply has increased
until the price has gone down to a point
where it would be money thrown away to
pay duty.

TWO POLICEMEN SHOT
Chicago Officers Fall Victims
Robbers.

Robbers.
Chicago, Aug. 12.-Timothy Dsvine and
Charles T. Pennell, patrolmen of the Chi
cago police department were killed here
early to-day in a revolver battle with
what is supposed to have been a gang of
thugs. Much mystery surrounds the
shooting for both men died before an ad-
equate account Of the shooting could be
obtained -Devine in the ambulance on the
way to the hospital and Pennell on the
operating table while surgeons were prob
ing for bullets.
The fight occurred Just before dawn
near Jackson boulevard and Ashland av-
enue, in the aristocratic section of the
west side. The fusillade of shots
aroused the entire neighborhood. Citi-
zens who heard the dying policemen
groan, rushed to their assistance and saw
men running away. Officer Pennell, mean
while, had heroically staggered a hun
dred feet to patrol box and sent in an
alarm for assistance. At once the po-
lice set dragnet for all suspicious char
acters and soon had six men In custody.
Before Pennell died he was able to gasp
out few words about ROBBERS" giving
descriptions of two men.

A BEGINNING MADE
Conference of Colonial Prime Min
listers Is Closed.

NeW York San Special Servtos
London, Aug. 12.-The conference Of
colonial ministers closed yesterday with
out achieving anything in the nature Of a
Zollverein. All that was done was to pass
resolutions in favor of a preferential
tariff conceived on Canadian lines if the
various parliaments can be induced to
give the question attention. In the mat
ter Of imperial defence the colonial con-
tributions may be somewhat increased
and the colonial land forces will be or
ganized on the European model.
London, Aug. 12.-The Daily Mail, re-
viewing the results OF the colonial con-
ference, says it must be confessed that
the advance registered by the conference
is not commensurate with the growth of
the spirit of mutual affection between
England and her colonies.
