Influential Capital.

SAN FRANCISCO, February 24-The Call
today says the Western Pacific railroad
project is backed by the Huntington mil
lions, and not by the Goulds, has been
generally suspected by the public since that
big railroad undertaking began to take def
mite shape. From the Golfers of Mrs. Coils
P. Huntington, widow of the western rail-
road magnate, is coming the bulk of the
money used to carry out the plans of the
new overland road between San Francisco
and Salt Lake.
To the contributions she is making there
is being added funds mainly from her
nephew, Henry E. Huntington, and his as
sociates in several gigantic schemes, B. F.
Yoakum, president of the Frisco system,
and E. w. Hawley. who Is prominently iden-
titled with number of railroad enterprises
Huntington. Hawley and Yoakum are not
only planning road to Salt Lake City, but
purpose acquiring o special system from
San Francisco to the Mexican gulf by way
Of the Denver gateway and making traffic
arrangements with other roads with a view
to getting connections at Denver or Salt
Lake for through passenger and freight

NEW CODE OF RULES
To Govern Trains on Three and Four.
Track Roads.

CHICAGO. February "a - The train
rules committee of the American Railway
Association, at a meeting here, has COM
pleted a code of rules to govern the opera
ton of trains on roads having three and
four tracks.
The committee has been at work for
months and is ready to make recommended
lions to the general association at it's next
semi-annual meeting. Undoubtedly the
rules as prepared will be approved and
adopted by all of the roads which are mem
bers of the organization.
The purpose of formulating code Is to
obtain uniform practice on all important
American railway systems. With uniform
fly, it is said, in the rules and methods Of
operation, railway accidents will be greatly
lessened.
The new rules are said to be comprehen-
sve and include the operation of trains
against the current" of traffic under Ger
tain conditions That is to say, when the
tracks are properly protected by block-sig-
nails it will be permissible to switch train
to the opposite track and there operate It
according to certain rules and regulations

Mercantile Transactions Have Risen

NEW YORK, February 24.-Dispatches to
Dun's Review indicate that mercantile
transactions have risen with the thermom-

buyers stimulated trade, and cancellations
are fewer, with collections prompt Bust
ness at Louisville has improved but Is still
FAR from seasonable, which is also the case
az Indianapolis.
Country merchants have arrived at Kan
sas city, stimulating jobbing and wholesale
trade, and prospects are bright in the mar
kets for lumber and building materials,
but retail trade is quiet. Buyers are in
full attendance at ST. Louis and placing
orders literally. Cleveland reports that
cold weather has restricted the activity of
buyers in wholesale millinery and dry
goods, but payments are prompt. Distribu-
ton improves with the weather at Chicago,
and the movement of freight promises to be
very heavy.
Warm weather has stimulated trade at
Minneapolis, and there is notable activity
in building supplies and agricultural i'm

Second Trial Of Doctor for Alleged As
sault Proved Futile.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, February A.-FoI
the second time the jury in the case
of DR.. Edward B. Dawson. charged with
feloniously assaulting four little girls at
the Kelso Orphanage, Judge Wykes, In the
criminal court. this morning said that a
conviction in the Ruth Landers case could
not be reached.
The jury had been locked up since 5:45
last evening and had debated the question
of guilt Or innocence over an hour. This
morning States Attorney Owens Is unde-
clded whether to go on with any of the
other cases or not. Two disagreements In
quick succession have made the states of
ncials think hard. The former jury stood
seven to five for acquittal.
Inc trial yesterday went over the same
ground as the previous case with these ex-
ceptions: Neither his wife nor his mother
in-law appeared. The former was too ill,
and the latter was out of the city.
The state added the testimony of Mrs.
John M. Fisher of Forest Park. who de-
Dawson the day in question when Mrs.
Dawson declared she was home celebrating
with her husband the anniversary of their
marriage
Charles e. Shaw, also of Forest Park, de-
clared he saw Mrs. Dawson with Mrs. Fisher
on that day. Few cases have aroused pub
lie sentiment more than the Dawson case,
yet 1t Is freely predicted in view Of the two
disagreements, no jury will be found to con-
Wet the dentist.
Dawson Is about thirty-two years old
though he looks younger. He was born in
Flatbush, N. Y, where he became trolley
car conductor until he had saved money
enough to take up dentistry. He then came
to Baltimore. finishing at the University OF
Maryland He practiced in an Office on
North Charles street. in the residential Sec
ton. and in 1902 was married.
Later the DawsOns took a cottage at For
est Park. It was here he attracted the at
tention of the management of the Kelso
Home for Girls. Possessing fine voice and
singing in the church choir, he made many
friends The home, which had great deal
Of work owing to many inmates, made him
dentist, and his practice grew to be very
large.
The jury stood ten to two for conviction.

HUNT FOR A NEGRO.
jackson, Miss, in Ferment Over
Search for Assailant.

SCaACA LUZ kASSd11dAI.
CHICAGO, February PA dispatch to
the Tribune from Jackson, Miss, says:
While hundreds of white men are system
atically searching the homes of every
negro in the city, hunting for a colored
man who assaulted a young white woman,
with the avowed intention of burning him
to death, Gov. Vardaman is working hard
to prevent a lynching in the capital city
of the state.
When the news of the crime reached him
the governor sent his friends all over the
town as emissarfes of law and order, telling
them to plead with every man they met to
allow the law to take it's course.
Then he started personal campaign.
Charging up and down the main street, he
expostulated with every group of men on
the corners and used every argument at his
command to induce them to dispense.
The governor soon saw his efforts were
likely to prove unavailing. and finally went
with the rapidly increasing mob to the
court house, where. according to rumOrS,
the young woman's assailant was under
guard. The reports were unfounded, but
the mob refused to believe the sheriff and
began making threatening demonstrations.
Gov. Vardaman. after instructing the
sheriff and his deputies to defend the prs-
oner to the last if he should be brought to
them. mounted the steps and began an I'M
passioned address.
He declared the law provided fit and
proper punishment for the crime in QueS-
tor assured the citizens of Jackson that
there would be no delay in carrying it into
effect, and pleaded with them to "allow the
law to take its course
The governor offered to pay $500 for the
arrest of the negro, provided he was deliv-
cred alive to the authorities His appeal
was listened to In silence.
The local militia company has been or
dered out, and under the governors per-
sonal direction will be used to protect the
prisoner, II he is captured.
Miss Mamie Marsh was going home from
the state house when she was seized by a
negro and dragged into the yard of a resi-
dence She was beaten into insensibility
and may die.
