Line From Portland last

Portland. Oct. S.-A direct rail route
for the Northern Pacific from Portland
to the east, a bridge across the Column
bia river at Vancouver. more large docks
bly, another steamship line for this city
all of which leaves Seattle and Tacoma
on branch lines of road, many miles to
the north of through transcontinental
line-wll be the result of the final settle
ment of the Northern Securities merger
case.
These are the inevitable results OF the
last years manipulation of transconti-
mental railway interests. For some time
it has been known that the owners or
the Milwaukee road were determined 10
tap Oregon and the North racinc coast
The president of the Milwaukee has been
over the ground and his surveyors have
been in the field.
The best route possessed by any trans
continental line lay open, running along
the Columbia and Snake rivers to the
Clearwater, then up that stream, through
LoIo Pass and eastward to the nearest
present terminus of the Milwaukee In
Nebraska or the Dakotas.
This would have given the Milwaukee
road the best and shortest route in ex-
istence from the Pacific seaboard 10 the
Mississippi river. 1t would have been
hundreds of miles shorter than the
Northern Pacific's route and cut off a
day of the time now required from Port
land to St. Paul.
With the Milwaukee owners in controf
of the Northern Pacific it Is predicted
that they will not only proceed with the
Vancouver-Pas cutoff, making the
main line from Portland to the east much
shorter. but they wia not lose sight Of
the tremendous advantage of a further
Strengthening of the line by building the
Lolo Pass route and connecting with
the present main line at some point in

the influence of Governor Brady. They

students and faculty of Purdue University
to-day, announced that a grant of 5000 had
been made by the trustees of the Carnegie
Institution to Professor w. +. NJ. Goss for
the purpose of promoting research in To-

ture, which has already been accomplished
at Purdue and expressed his appreciation
of this new evidence Of the confidence in
Purdues ability to do things well.
The specific aim of the grant is to aid in
carrying out an elaborate study Of the
value of high steam pressures in locomo-
tive service few years ago locomotive
boilers were designed for pressure OF $50
pounds. AT the present time $50 or 200
pounds pressure are common, and designers
asking the question whether Ii will
prove economical to still further extend the
limit. In anticipation of such a study the
boiler of the present experimental locomo-
tive of Purdue University was designed for
$50 pounds, and it is in connection with this
locomotive that experiments will be made.
The recipient of the grant, Professor
Goss, is the dean of the School of Engineer
ing Of Purdue University Is the origi-
nator of the locomotive testing plant, and
has long been identified with the engineer
ing work Of the university.

OLD TRAGEDY RECALLED

NEW ALBANY, Ind, Jan. 1S.-The Con-
rad brothers, William and George, who
about ten years ago put stop TO white
capism in Harrison county by killing sew
eral members of a gang os midnight ma
RAIDERS who had gone to their home for the
purpose of whipping them. are now living
in the southern part of Oklahoma, where
they have entered homestead and are
cutivating a 160-acre farm. A report has
been current that they had returned to this
vicinity, but they were seen few days ago
on their farm in Oklahoma.
The Conrads had aroused the ire of some
of their neighbors in Harrison county, and
had oeen notified that they would be visited
on a certain night by band of regulators
and whipped. They decided to make re-
sistance, and, arming themselves, hid in a
field a short distance from the house. When
the masked men appeared and gathered at
the door demanding admission, the Conrads
opened fire, and five of the gang were killed.
The Conrads concealed themselves, and a
few days later left Harrison county. No
effort was ever made to punish them, and
the reign of the whitecaps in Harrison
county was broken.

MONTPELIER, Ind, Jan. 13.-The

During thee old months the wildcat ter
ritory is laid over until spring. BIackford.
Wells, Grant, Huntington and Adams
counties now show up TO be the most active
parts of the Indiana field. To show the
above as facts, the Standard Oil Company
makes the following report of new work
all over the State: The total 43S rigs

OF the new work was in the counties named.
Tho Jay county field was next to the high
ones. Not many wells Of more than sixty
barrels production are being completed.
There were three reported in Blackboard
county that went over hundred barrels.
The Parker City pool is not showing up
much good stuff outside of few farms. A
we'll was drilled in at Albany Saturday
that started off at 500 barrels.
This is in entirely new territory for oil,
but on what have been big gas leases. The
whole country around the town is excited
and 1t looks like field pool at least will
be opened up there. The Indiana Pipe Com
pany has run a line to the well and Is TAX

The market is steady at $1.31 for Indiana
oil since the drop of cents last week, and
II is likely to remain at q good figure for
several months. 1t is not likely that 1t will
ever go much below one dollar per barrel

Clothes to Elope with Mabel
Burns When Arrested.
CONFESSED TO THE GIRL
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
KOKOMO Ind, Jan. 13.-Samuel
Michaels, aged seventy years. is lodged in
jail here on the charge of destroying with
dynamite the residence of Aaron Shock.
Michaels had intended to elope with Miss
Mabel Burns, a pretty sixteen-year-old
domestic employed by the Shocks. Three
others were arrested with Michaels in con-
nection with the dynamite outrage.
Last September the fine $4,000 residence
of Mr.. Shock was totally destroyed, it be-
ing alleged that Michaels, whose attentions
TO the girl were obnoxious to herself and
forbidden by the Shocks, dynamted the
house out Of love and revenge. The object
being to compel Miss Burns TO seek another
home where he might see her unmOested.
Suspecting Michaels of the vandalism, Mr..
Shock employed detectives on the case, and
Miss Burns worked with them. Inc latter
pretended TO make up with her aged sutton
and in this way got from him the full de-
tails of the dynamiting, including several
letters he had written threatening to de-
strOy other houses where the girl had been
staying Mr. Shock also received threaten
ing letter that his new house, built on the
ruins of the old. would also be destroyed;
Last night Constable Tate and Officer
Welty went to the Shock neighborhood,
arrested Michaels and three alleged accom-
plices, John Bowen and William and Carrie
Wagner, who accused OF assisting the
old man In his efforts to secure the Burns
girl All were brought to kokomo this
morning and lodged in Jail.
When the officers arrived, Michaels was
putting on his best clothes To meet Miss
Burns at Frankfort, from which place he
expected 10 elOpe with her. All the ac-
cused reside in western Howard county.
The Shock home is nine miles west of
KOkomo.

SHELBYVILLE, Ind, Jan. 13.-It is re-
ported that the Interurban League, which
was recently organized, and which included
the cities of Connersville, Rushville,. New
Castle, Greenfield. Frankfort. Shelbyville.
Richmond and the Indianapolis Duessel-
doerfers. is not to be go, Connersville hav-
ing backed out of the organization. 1t was
the intention that one-half of the games
were to have been played in the city repre-
scented by the team, while the other half
of the games were to be played away from
home by half of the teams. On this account
the Connersville manager has refused to
join the league, thinking perhaps that ii
would be losing venture, financially. This
probably will be the cause of the organiza-
ton going out of existence unless another
city is secured for the league to take the
place of Connersville.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Jan. 13.-Work was
resumed in several departments of the
Sterling electric works. the second largest
industry in the city, this afternoon and
the management declares that the rumors
of permanent shutdown are false in every
particular. The factory closed its doors on
Christmas eve and while an inventory Of
the stock was taken the 400 employees were
rendered idle. 1t was the intention to re-
sumo operations on the Monday following
New Years, but later the company decided
TO make some repairs and postponed the
opening until later. The lengthening of the
period of idleness caused much speculation
and the employees, many of them, left the
city to seek work elsewhere. The company
now asserts that it has heavy orders to fill
and that the plant will be kept in operation
from now on.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Jan. 13-Little
Lottie May, the -year-old
daughter of Frank and Emma Frisbie, of
st. Louis. Mo, is tonight in the custody
of the county sheriff awaiting for the law
to say whether she belongs to her mother
or her father
A few days ago her father brought her
here from St Louis. A man, who proved
himself a legal representative OF the childs
mother, who is still in St Louis, came here
to-day and filed habeas corpus proceedings
against the father, demanding possession
of the child, who IL is claimed. is being
forcibly detained by him. The sheriff went
to the room OF Frisbie and obtained the
child. 1t appears that a short time ago
Mrs. Frisbie was granted a divorce from
her husband by the court in st. Louis and
the mother was given possession of the
child, which had been obtained by some
means by the father and brought TO this
city.
The case will come UP here tomorrow
and the community is greatly interested in
the outcome of the case, which will decide
whether little Lottie shall live with her
father or her mother.
