WILL FIGHT TIE TRUST
CRUCIBLE STEEL COMPANY TO BE
REORGANIZED AT ONCE.
Observation-Disclosures Concern to BE "a
Powerful Competitor of the
Steel Corporation.

PITTSBURG. Oct. 14-Since the United
States Steel Corporation has declined to
take over half interest i'm the Clarion
Steel Company, now owned by the Crucible
Steel Company, after a contract had
been made to do so, the officers of the
Crucible Company have announced that
they will go ahead with the original plans
TO make this great property a powerful
competitor of the combine, and will them
selves raise the necessary funds to do so.
The fact that the company owns its ore
lands, coking plants and coal mines, the
officers say, puts it i'm an independent posi-
ton for raw material All ii has to do
now Is TO build finishing mills to its already
enormous works at Clarion to have one of
the country
1t has been arranged to have William @.
Park become chairman, in full control, so
that the reorganization will show the fol-
lowing officers: William G.. Park, chair
man; Frank Il. Smith. president and gen.
eral manager: Julius Bieler, treasurer, and
Alexander Thomas, secretary.
1t is understood the new plant will turn
out sheet and tin plate bars for the inde-
pendent mills and possibly enter the rail
market. Finishing lines will be added to
the works to form outlet for the heavy
tonnage of billets and blooms that are
available for open market
The Crucible Steel Company has capital
of $50,000.o0, half preferred and half COM
of open hearth billets. IL was organized in
1890. and while never paying a common
stock dividend, has accumulated q surplus
of considerable size

of one-half hour trainloads of the followers
of John Alexander Dowie left the North
Shore city, eight trains in all, bearing over
three thousand crusaders" At the blow
ing of the fire whistle every inhabitant of

Uniformed guards were distributed through

BOYS SLAYER LYNCHED
WALTER JACKSON. CONVICTED MUIR
DERER, HANGED By MOB.
Taken from Jail at Hamilton, Mont,
by Seventy-Five Masked Men-His
Crime a Revolving One.

HAMILTON, Mont. Oct. H.-Walter
Jackson, the convicted murderer of Fonnie
Buck, a six-year-old boy, was taken from
the county Jail here last night by mob
and lynched.
Shortly before midnight seventy-five
masked men, all armed with rifles or shot
guns, forced their way through the rear
of the Jail and overpowered Jailer Ste
phens, who was able to offer but slight re-
sistance. Jackson was found cringing in the
darkest portion of his cell. He pleaded
piteously for mercy. but was rushed out
into the street. where the mob had already
provided themselves with a rope. This
was quickly thrown over an electric light
pole and the moose placed about Jacksons
neck He was asked If he had anything
to say, but only pleaded for mercy. The
mob then pulled him into the air, after
which they quickly dispersed
The murder of little Fonnie Buck was
q peculiarly atrocious crime. When the
boys body was found ii was horribly mutt
lated. Suspicion pointed TO Jackson and
when he was arrested a lynching was mar
rowly averted. His trial quickly followed,
and a verdict was returned within two
hours He was sentenced to be hanged, but
his attorneys appealed to the Supreme
Court.

MISS WOODS INDIGNANT
SHE WILL NOT SUE SENATOR II. C..

She May Make Trouble for Those
Who Started Them.

NEW YORK. Oct. 14-AIiss Mae C. Wood.

of instituting suit for breach of promise
of marriage against Senator T. c. Platt on
the eve OF his marriage with Mrs. jane
way, of Washington. arrived at the Man
haitian Hotel this afternoon from Ontario
county. New York. where she had been at
the bedside of sick relative Miss Wood
expressed herself in terms of Indignation
regarding the published rumors, and said
that she was not interested in any persons
matrimonial affairs. The only persons who
are apt to get into trouble, she added, are
those who are at the bottom of those silly
rumors.
When asked if she knew Senator Platt
she said: "Of course / know him. have
known him for several years. He has al
ways been friendly to me, and L esteem
him highly. l regret the publication of
these ridiculous stories as very unfortunate
and distressing
To reporter Senator Platt said: 81 have
seen the statements about Miss Wood in
the newspapers and regret that anything
should have been published to her discredit.
Of course all the suggestions in regard to
lawsuits are absurd and ridiculous. l have
known Miss Wood for long time and
with the senators from her own State, rec
omended her for a position in the Postoffice
Department. So far as l know she has per-
formed her duties satisfactorily. / regard
her a lady of fine attainments."
Earlier in the day the senator said the
rumor of breach of promise suit was abb
surd.
Miss Wood is clerk i'm the Postofhce De-
partment. II was said by the gossips that
she had over 100 letters from Senator Platt,
some of an affectionate character. She was
appointed. coming from Nebraska, but
lived for a time at Elkhart, Ind.
Senator Platt and Mrs. Lillian Z. Janeway

READY FOR PUBLICATION.
VIII BE Submitted to Postmaster Gem

Out Next Week.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-the first draft
of the report of Fourth Assistant Postmas-
ter General Bristow giving results of the
recent postal investigation will be submit
ted to Postmaster General Payne on Sat-
urday. The two officials were i'm confer
ence until late this afternoon and Mr.. Bris-
tow notified his superior officer that the re-
port would be completed on Saturday, but
that before it given publication he de-
sired TO edit it carefully. Accordingly Mr.
Bristow's story of the investigation will not
be given to the public until next week
Great interest attaches to the report all
though the principal results of the inquiry
have been made known through the arrest
and Indictment OF numerous officials and
contractors. The methods adopted i'm run
ming down the indicted men will not be dis
closed at this time-to do so would be to
give information which will be used at the
postal trials. The government will not
give any of its cases away i'm advance of
their hearing before courts.
There is one feature of the report that
Will be read with great deal of interest
Ii Is generally believed that much OF the
peculation recently uncovered i'm the de-
partment originated or grew rapidly during
the administration of Perry Heath. former
nrSt assistant postmaster general AL
though Mr.. Heath is In no way involved i'm
the postal scandal il is expected his admin
istration will be severely arraigned bv
Fourth Assistant Bristow. While the re-
lations between Messrs. Heath and Bristow
were bitter when they both served together
i'm the department the latter is a fair man
and IL is expected he will be just in his
treatment of Mr.. Heath. Officials in the
department and some ex-officials will
doubtless be criticised in the Bristow re-
port.
Postmaster General Payne will soon take
up the subject OF filling the vacanci es
caused by dismissal number of India Ia
men in the department are candidates for
some OF the more important places These
appointments will be made without regard

Under scorching Sun.
Vienna, July 27.-Details received
from Budapest regarding the suffering
of an infantry regiment from the ex-
traordinary heat during maneuver
march from Trebinye to Bilek, on
which 45O men were Frustrated, indi-
cate that bad handling of the regiment
was largely responsible for the men
being overcome. The troops are al
legged to have been burdened with eX-
ira equipment in addition to the usual
heavy marching order and were en-
gagged two hours in a sham battle.
This necessitated forced march in
the hottest hours of the day. The colo
mel commanding the regiment refused
to grant the request Of some of his
officers that the soldiers be allowed to
rest, though he himself was incapaci-
tated, being obliged to finish the march
in carriage.
Before reaching Belik the men fell
out Of the ranks by scores. Nine died
Immediately and 20 were carried of
insensible, six of whom died soon af-
ter reaching the hospital. Seventy
others are in serious state. During
the march the thermometer registered
1876 degrees in the sun. The captain
of a company that was operating in
this vicinity ordered a halt and
brought his command in without sim
gle prostration.
Considerable excitement exists in
civil and military circles over what is
termed the unjustifiable handling Of
troops In time Of peace. The war Of
flee has issued an official statement in
which 1t is declared that every pre-
caution was observed and that the
death of the men was unavoidable.
