CARE OF VISITORS.
Prices for Thousands of People In
st. Louis During the Exposition,

Visitors to St. Louis in 1904 will
either enter the great Union Station
or disembark from trains at points
nearer the Worlds Fair grounds. BY
far the greater number, however, will
enter the building first named, which
is the largest passenger station in the
United States, not excepting that in
Boston.
In the center of the broad esplanade
OF this station, which is called the
Midway, will be found many booths
OF information, in which will be men
and women thoroughly posted con-
corning the city. and the Exposition
and who will have conveniently at
hand such printed instructions al
strangers may wish to receive. At
each booth will be complete lists Of
the hotels and boarding houses, with
addenda thereto showing what rooms
are vacant. Also will be appended .
rate card.
Immediately outside the gates quick
transportation will be found to any
part of the city by the Market, the
Laclede, the Chouteau avenue, the
Eighteenth, the Park avenue and the
Compton Heights lines of street cars,
which are operated by the St Louis
Transit Company. From these ears
one can transfer at the same fare to
any other line of the same company,
thus permitting the visitor to 60 any
where he wishes for five cents.
At the request Of the Worlds Fair
management the leading hotels Of st.
Louis have signed an agreement in
which they promise not to increase
their rates during 1904. This agree
ment and the rates in force will also
be given to the visitor at the Informal
ton bureau and he can determine for
himself just where he wants to go be-
fore leaving Union Station and have
the assurance in advance that there
will be no overcharge. ....,..,..s,

GILLESPIE TRIALS ARE
PUT OVER TO MAY TERM
Pleas in Abatement and Motion to
QuaSh Overruled by the Court
at Rising Sun.
COUNSEL COLES IS SICK

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
h4--NG SUN, Ind, March Sin the
Elizabeth Gillespie murder case the court
this morning sustained the demurrers of
the State to the defendants pleas in abate-
ment and also overrEIed defendants mo-
ton TO quash the indictment for murder in
the first degree.
Congressman F. VI. Griffith on behalf of
James Gillespie and the other defendants
asked the court to continue the trial until
the next term of court, converting in May.
The ground for continuance was stated to
be the serious sickness of John B. Coles,
principal attorney for the defense. The
court granted the continuance and James
Gillespie was remanded to Jail without bail.
while the other defendants. Myron L. Bar
bour. Belle Seward and Carrie Barbour.
were allowed bail as filed at the December
term.
The court explained why he had overruled
the plea in abatement of the defense and
sustained the demurrer of the prosecution.
In the plea of abatement the defense al
legged that undue influence had been used
by the prosecution in the grand jury room.
1t was also asserted that newspaper re-
porters and deputy prosecuting attorneys
had used undue influence with witnesses in
the now famous case. The defense claimed
that Rodman l.. Davis and c. w. McMul-
len, who acted as deputy prosecuting attOr-
neys, had not been legally installed in those
positions and that they had no right in the
grand jury room before or after that body
had reported its finding. The court held.
however, that the plea in abatement was
too general in its character and not spe-
ciic He therefore overruled it and Con-
gresham Griffith noted exceptions
1t is just three months tonight since
Elizabeth Gillespie was dssassinated at her
home in this city.
