TRAIN ORDER SYSTEM FAULTY.
Roads May Find It Advisable to Re-
wise Present Methods.

Chicago. July 31.-A movement to
change the present train order system,
which is in use on practically all roads.
probably will be started as d result of
the collision between passenger and
freight train on the Chicago Great
Western railway last Sunday at Was
atty, MINI. 1t is possible the practice Of
running trains in sections will be abol-
ished.
The officials of the road have not
finished their investigation of the
wreck, and they will not do SO until
they can get the statement OF Edward
C. Clement, conductor of the freight
train, but their inquiry so far seems
to indicate that the wreck resulted
from misinterpretation Of train or
der.
The order was that the second sec
ton Of the passenger train was two and
half hours late. The conclusion is
that the order was misunderstood to
mean that the first section also was
late, while, as a matter of fact, 1t was
on time, and the collision with the
freight followed.
Railroad men point out that II the
two sections are treated as separate
trains there would be no chance for
confusion.
The question is being discussed by
the officials Of various roads, for this
wreck has impressed on them the
opening there is in the present system
for misunderstanding.

of armed men are now engaged in the

capped convicts. Is said. by prisoners
who know him to have been a soldier
with the United States regulars in the
Philippines. According to their story
he deserted from the federal troops
and joined the Filipinos. He was re-
garded as hero among the convicts.
who say that he was once surrounded
by detachment of troops and man
aged to break thru their lines at night
and, gathering a force of Filipinos,
captured the United States soldiers and
had them shot to death.
Later Woods was captured and tried
by mixed court martial on charge
of deserting and aiding the enemy.
He was convicted, but the secretary of
war disapproved Of the finding, for the
reason that Woods, being regular,
could not be held by the decision OF
mixed court For reasons not known

Federal Grand Jury Reports
Four Additional Indict-
ments Against Him
CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY
Eight Other Officials and Private citi.
gems Indicted for Conspiracy in Con-
nection With Postal Frauds, Includ-
ing One Woman Investigation
Strikes Several Different Cities.

Washington, July 31-The federal
grand jury here. which has been con-
sidering the cases arising from the pos
tai investigation, has agreed upon four
additional indictments for conspiracy
against August w. Machen, and the in
dictment of another party, private In
dfvidual, not. a resident here. in connec-
tion with the postal contract for pre-
senting false claim to the government.
The four new indictments against
Machen, are based on separate and dis
tinct transactions and are wholly apart
from the indictments reported against
him several weeks ago by the grand
jury, for conspiracy. Machen is now in
the city under bond. The fifth indict-
ment relates to the transaction of a
man supposed to be in the west, wid
will be placed under arrest as soon al
the officers can find him.
The jury also returned indictments
against the following:
John T. Cupper, Mayor of Lockhaven
Pa.
William c. Long and William Gordon
Crawford, of Washington.
George e. and Martha j. Lorenz, OF
Toledo.
Maurice Unkel. of New York.
Thomas McGregor, former chief Of
the supply division, rural free delivery
service.
Leopold ]. Stern, Baltimore.
With the exception OF Crawford, all
are indicted for conspiracy. The in
dictment against Crawford is for pre-
senting a false claim against tho
government.
Long and Cupper were also indicted
for bribery. Orders for the
arrest of all the parties were immedi-
ately issued. This batch Of indictments
does not wind up the cases before the
grand jury, and other matters result
ing from the postal investigation are
pending before that body and may res
suit in indictments againgt other pars
ties In the near future.

Relatives Want Helm Arrested.

SSpcSldi 10 1lIueS-ItepllUliCdIi
Cedar Rapids, July 31.-Hurrying
from police stations to justices of the
peace, three women spent the entire
morning attempting to secure a war
rant for the arrest of Jesse Helm in
connection with the disappearance of
Miss Anna Higginson, says the Chicago
Chronicle. The three women include
two of Miss Higinson's married sisters
and an aunt. Justice Prindiville re-
fused to issue the warrant for Helms
arrest unless the complaint was signed
by Miss Higginson herself.
Miss Higginson is lying critically
i'll at the home of her aunt, Mrs. r. ".
Smith, 1850 Drexel boulevard" Miss
Elizabeth Laughlin, 1928 Poplar avenue,
told the justice. II am an aunt Of the
young woman and I will sign the war
rant for Jesse Helms arrest If you
don't issue the warrant now he will
have time to escape from Chicago"
Justice Prindiyille maintained that
1t would be absolutely necessary for
Miss Higginson to sign the complaint
herself. Miss Higginson reappeared
with baby after her strange disap-
pearance Of many months. She asserts,
the police say, that young Helm, from
whose fathers home she disappeared
early in April, was responsible for her
absence.
Soon after Justice Prindiville's re-
fusal to issue warrant they started

Waukegan, Ill.,, July 31.-The COM
ing Inauguration Of city court at
Zion City, brings UP the question
whether Justice will be really meted
out by 1t in its cases where Dowie's
interests may be at stake.
Charles Delaschmit, who is to be
tried before 1t, thinks not, and. consid-
ering the fact that all Dowieites take
oath to obey Dowie in all things, claims
that a grand jury there composed of
Dowieites. would be illegal. inasmuch
as they would be prejudiced. His at
torney proposed to make a fight to as
certain the legality of such a proceed

The situation is new one and VIII

as its judges and jures are held likely
to be SO strongly Dowieized that out

JOY KILLS AN OLD MAN.
James HeeIan Falls Dead When Told
He is at Last Wealthy.

Chicago, July 31.-After waiting
many long years for the boom which
should increase the value of his real
estate, making him independently rich.
James Heelan, 73 years old, 1928 Cal
hound avenue. Irondale, died OF JOY yes
terday, when the announcement of the
long delayed prosperity finally came.
James Heelan had lived in Irondale
for thirty years BY hard work and
thrift he had managed to acquire con-
ing suburb. Fifteen years ago when
Irondale was place of foundries and
factories, Heelan was considered "a
wealthy man.
Then came days Of reverse. In the
early zoos the factories We're compelled
to close down and the value Of Irondale
property shrank so much that Heelan
had hard work to pay his taxes. He
would not sell his holdings. He kept
his faith in the place and said that
some day the factories would start up
again and he would be richer than ever.
And so he toiled on for ten long years,
hoping from year to year for the real
ization of his dream.
Recently there were indications that
the old mans dreams would come true.
New industries started up, people be-
gan returning to Irondale, and the price
Of property increased. Heelan's son
came to him and told him that he had
been offered most fabulous sums for
some Of their property, and ,liat they
would now be rich. The old mans
face lighted up with JOY.
'At last, at last it has come" he
murmured.
He gazed upward for moment. as
though picturing to himself the things
his money could buy, and then fell,
without word, at his sons feet.
When they lifted him up he was dead.
He had been janitor of the Cummins
school for nineteen years.

chief. .makers" in South Africa.


London, July BIN the house of
common yesterday. during the discus
sion of the colonial office vote, replying
to bitter attack on the governments
policy and Lord Miners administra-
tion of South Africa by Mr.. Markham,
liveral. in the course of which he
charged that affairs were growing
worse. COLONEL Secretary defended at
some length the administration of
South Africa.
He said the greatest difficulty was
not the reconciliation of the Beers and
Britonss but the reconciliation of the
Beers with the Beers. The secretary
called attention to the fact that the
Beers We're making every effort to de-
yelop the country and were forming To-
cal agricultural associations, of which
the chairmen in many cases were for
mer leaders of the Boer forces.
Mr.. Chamberlain admitted that much
remained to be done and said that if it
was found that the work of pacification
was prevented by irreconcilables the
government would not hesitate to use
its strong power to deport the michief-
makers.

Committee to Investigate
Bribery Scandal
HEDERvARY OPENLY ACCUSED
Member Charges He Was Connected
With the Affair and Should Get Out
Resigns His Position-Premier
Makes Reply and Promises to Appear
Before the Committee.

Budapest, July 31.-The lower house
of the diet today appointed COM
mittee of inquiry to investigate the
bribery scandal. and adjourned until
the committee is ready to report. Prior
to this Franz Kossuth made speech
in which he declared that in view of
the confession Of the new governor
of Fiume that he alone was respon-
sihle for the attempt to bribe Deputy
Papp, and that as governor he was
closely connected with the government,
suspicion must also attach to the
premier. Count Hedervary. If the lat
ter is unable to completely reassure
public opinion, he was kossuth added
unfit to continue in office. Replying to
Kossuth, Hedervary promised to ap-
pear before the committee of inquiry
and said he considered 1t would be a
sin against the country as we'll as
against himself if he resigned, as sug-
gested by kossuth.
