Child of the Boss.
From the New York Tribune.

Coler invades Maryland and toots moral
and political whistle of the lucent variety
against bossism. Thereupon The Washing
ton Star points out to him that he himself
is one of the most fragrant cucumbers on
the spreading vine of bossism, with Croker
and Hill as its sedulous cultiyators. Thus
does The Star score one against the migra-
tory Bird. flying southwark in spring, con-
trary to all precedents, and in whose sight
political nets have been spread not in vain
since he reached the stage of size and tail
feathers to be worth catching.

REBUILDING ITS STATIONS
INDIANA PIPE LINE COMPANY EN-
LARGING ITS POWER PLANTS.
Gas Engines to BE Used Instead of
Steam-HartfOrd City Hopes to
Secure a Refinery.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Oct. H.-The
Indiana Pipeline Company, the transporta-
ton branch of the Standard Oil Com
pany, has begun the work of tearing down
its old steam pump station at Dundee, and
will replace it with a much larger and
more modern station, equipped with pow
erful engines. The old steam station has
done service for the company ever since
the opening of the Dundee field, but the
increase in oil production in the vicinity
and the decrease in the gas pressure has
necessitated better plant. BY operating
with gas engines it will be less expensive
for motive power. and the saving in fuel
will be enormous. The new station will
contain one of the largest gas engines in
the State, and will be equipped with an
electric light plant and many other modern
conveniences. The company also will re-
build its steam station on the George Rapp
farm, northwest Of this city, with a sim
production. These plants are substations
of the central station, located on the banks
of the Salamonia river, near Montpelier,
to which point all the oil production in the
State is pumped.
1t Is also stated that the Pure Oil Com
pany, which recently purchased the In
diana oil and gas holdings of the American
refinery somewhere in the Indiana oil field,
and the fact that all its big pipelines are
in this vicinity leads many to believe that
it will be located in Hartford City.

REORGANIZATION SCHEME.


PHILADELPHIA, Oct. H.-The formal
announcement of the reorganization of the
Consolidated Lake Superior Company was
announced tonight by the reorganization
committee 1t does not differ from the de-
tails of the plan which have been given
out from time to time. The new company
will be capitalized at 100000. Forty-year
per cent. gold bonds will be issued to the
amount of 100000 and an issue of per
cent. twenty-year gold income bonds to the
amount Of 100000 will also be made. The
plan also provides for the raising of the
S., 900 needed by the company. the de-
tails of which have already been made pub
lie. Accompanying the reorganization plan
is a letter addressed TO the REORGANIZATION
committee of stockholders from President
c. S. Shields of the company, In which he
says that all construction work which was
in progress last April when he took charge
Of the company's property, has been prac-
tically completed and the properties are
now ready for profitable operation.
Continuing, he said: Il have seen no
reason to modify the estimate of about
$3.50 600 net earnings for the present fiscal
wear which made in May. am sure that
the stockholders would be justified in ex-
pectlng earnings of several times the
amount of my estimate when all plants
could be brought into full and continuous
operation, and when the possibilities of
several undertakings at present uncertain
could be determined by experience"

Fault OF the Laborfnx Men.

DETROIT, Oct. 21.-Alton G. s. Miller, of
Baltimore. the retiring president, in his
address to the American Gas Light Asso-
citation. attacked labor unionism and advo-
Gated the formation of manufacturers as
sociations to fight the unions. The greater
part Of the laboring men, said he, ARE
good men and good citizens, but the labor
ing mans fault lies in his readiness to
listen to the cry of the demagogues of the
country. And the demagogues may be ex-
pected to WELD their power over the labor
ing classes until the shameless corpora
tions stop their depredations. To guard
against suffering from strikes gas COM
panies should increase the capacity of their
storage tanks so they can put In enough
gas to last six months or a year. They
should also ally themselves with reputable
builders and manufacturers in all cities to
prevent lawlessness in strikes, the restric-
ton of output and the interference with
nonunion labor

Missionary Convention of the

PAN-AMERICAN CONFERENCE
ACTION OF EPISCOPAL AND CHURCH
OF ENGLAND BISHOPS.
Officers Elected by the American Mis-
sionary AssOciatiOn-TheT Topics
Discussed.

DETROIT Mich, Oct. 21.-The interna-
tional missionary convention of the Church
of Christ was closed tonight by the Amer
lean Christian Missionary Society holding
two meetings, at which delegates made fer
vent appeals for more earnest work. At the
Woodward-avenue Baptist Church the prn-
cipal speaker was Alfred NJ Haggard, dean
of the College of the Bible in Drake Uni
versity, at Des Moines, Ia. He referred to
the proposed union of all Protestant young
peoples societies, and in reply to the Rev.
DR.. Berry, of Chicago, who declared such
move was not in accord with the Methodist
Episcopal Church. said it was not impossi-
BILE until the spirit Of Jesus Christ had gone
out of every member of these societies At
the Central Methodist Episcopal Church
similar meeting was held, at which c. S.
Medbury, of Kentucky, gave an address
encouraging the work in missions.
At the first session to-day donations
amounting to $4,000 were announced. Mrs.
H. M. Meier, of st. Louis, announced that
Detroit man. whose name she would not
give. had donated $4,000 as an endowment
for an orphanage to be built in this city by
the Christian National Benevolent Associa-
ton. Corresponding Secretary B. l.. Smith,
of the parent society, brought forth round
of applause when he told the delegates later
that two different 5000 donations had been
made this morning for the general work of
the society. He also refused to give out the
names of the donors.
The society adopted resolutions condemn
ing the liquor traffic and recording ever
lasting opposition to it and deploring the
growth of the gambling spirit in the coun-
try, both in social and commercial life
OF lynching the resolutions said: I'VE
avow our unqualified condemnation of the
mob spirit as demoralizng, degrading and
brutalizing in it's effects on the community
and is misdrected effort to secure justice.
We recommend careful and dispassionate
study of this great problem under the light
of the gospel with a view to arousing and
directing public sentiment"
This afternoon r. U. Simpson, of Lex
ington, KY, one of a number of students in
Kentucky University who spent the sum-
mer in evangelistic work in the Kentucky
mountains, made a strong plea for this
mountain work. He declared that great in
justice had been done the Kentucky noun
taineers by popular writer's, and said: ut
would be just as fair to take a lowbrowed
thief or crook from one of your back alleys
and present him as a representative of
your citizenship as to hold the moonshiner
up as a typical Kentucky mountaineer."
