UNDER DETROIT RIVER.
Work on the Tunnel Begins on the
American Side.

Detroit. Aug. 25.-Work on the rail-
road tunnel which is to be constructed
under the Detroit river between Wind
sor and Detroit began today when a
force of worknen were set to work
sinking the initial shaft on the Ameri-
can side A similar shaft will shortly
be sunk on the tunnel line on the Can
adam side While there is still much
preliminary surveying and testing to
be done, the location of the tunnel is
practically decided upon.
The official blue prints of the engi-
neers in charge of construction show
that the approach on the Detroit side
will start midway between Fifteenth
and Sixteenth streets on the present
right-of-way of the Michigan Central
railroad. 1t is said that the Michigan
Central company will not need to buy
foot of land in order to build the tur1-
mel, the present right-of-way furnish
ing all the room necessary.
The actual length of the underground
portion of the tunnel will be two and
six-tenths miles and the distance from
surface to surface almost exactly three
miles. It is estimated that between two
and three years will be occupied in the
construction. 1m
The Detroit River Tunnel company
was formed through the merger of the
Michigan and Canada Bridge and Con-
struction company and the Canada and
Michigan Bridge and Tunnel company.
The officers of the new company are
President, w. H. Newman. New York;
vice president, H. B. Ledyard. Detroit:
secretary, D. w. Pardee, New York;
treasurer. Charles F. Cox, New York.

KELLY AS AN ORATOR.
He Is Evidently Becoming One of the
Silver Tongued.

State Treasurer T. T. Kelly, much ad-
yertised by his recent speech at the
ant1-horse thief picnic at Eudora, may
nave to turn spellbinder. He is getting
invitations from all parts of the state
to make speeches.
I am getting lots of invitations, that's
a fact" said Mr.. Kelly to State Jour
nal reporter. Il hardly know what I
will do about them. I don't like to
make speeches; I don't think it is my
forte
Mr.. Kelly was assured that he could
make as good a speech as most of the
alleged spellbinders.
Perhaps with practice I might be
able to make speeches. said Mr.. Kelly.
Il am inclined to believe that any per-
son of average intelligence can become
speechmaker@ if he keeps trying. 1t
is the practice that gives q person con-
fidence- STILL. 1 don't like to make
speeches.
But the conversation of Mr.. Kelly in
Dictated that he might be induced to
keep on trying and acquire the art,
which he feels can be acquired by prac-
tice. Evidently Mr.. Kelly rather en-
joyed the Eudora event, and he certain
~ was the big gun of the occasion.
There is to be big picnic at Wichita
on September 1, given by the State
Horse Thief association. All the state
officers of the organization are expect
ed to attend, and it is likely that Kelly
will be invited Since it was the Horse
Thief association which saw Kelly first,
and discovered" him as an orator, it Is
natural that he should be inclined to
favor that organization whenever pos
sible

GERS. This was disproved by the dis
covery of the original muster rolls Then
the department claimed that Bibbins
had served less than 80 days, and it
took another long search to show that
he had been in the army L. months.
Then there was a question as to identi-
ty, and it was necessary to hunt w d
lot of witnesses to prove that Bibbins
was really the man. Pension Commits
sioner Ware turned down the appiica-
ton four different times. The secretary
of the interior finally reversed the com
missioner's ruling, and Bibbins will get
what to him will be a small fortune.

THE HURT MAN LOCATED.
The Injured Man at Mcfarland a
Wellington Citizen.

Wellington, Kas. Aug. 25.-The
sheriffs Office was telephoned that a
young man had been found at McFar-
land with his head crushed in and
that letter had been found on his
person from his mother. Mrs. Mollie
Wells of Wellington. After some diff
ficulty Mrs. Wells was located as one
of the cooks at the Arlington hotel.
Her son, Richard Wells, left here
for Kansas City after having visited
her three or four days He was a
young man about % years old and his
description tailed with that of the
man at Mcfarland. This week
his mother gave him $40 and he said
he would get a money order for the
amount SO that 1t would be in Kansas
City by the time he arrived there. He
did not go to the postoffice but did go
to the express office but after inquir
Ing what a money order for $40 would
cost left the office.
AS Sheriff Lingenfelter came through
Mcfarland he heard that man
had been found with his face crushed
as il it had been done with the end of
a gas pipe. This was doubtless young
Wells.

His Explanation OF the Chicka-
saw Warrants.
Were for Services Rendered
Prior to His Elevation.
TELLS OF CONFERENCE.
Helped Adjust Point in Con-
trOTersy After Election.
Asserts That He Was Not Paid
for This.

Senator ]. R. Burton. has given out a
detailed statement concerning his con-
nection with the Chickasaw warrants,
which he is accused OF having received
in payment for legal services while
United States senator. Mr.. Burton
says he never received any of the 50, 600
which went to his brother, 2. T. Bur
ton.
This is Burton's statement:
Il have never received one penny in
compensation for legal services rendered
the Chickasaw nation since my election
as United States senator before a fed
eral department or anywhere else. Prior
to my election I was employed as legal
counselor to Governor Johnson. When
became senator my employment with
the Chickasaws ceased, although Cover
nor johnson requested that remain in
my former capacity. The warrants is
sued to me in October, 1901, were in
payment for services rendered prior TO
my election as senator.
THE facts regarding nv connection
with the Chickasaws have been known to
the departments at Washington for four
years. The warrants issued to T. T.
Burton, have never had any interest
IN z. T. Burton is my brother and he
IS now resident of Tishomingo the
Chickasaw- capital. He was employed in
a legal capacity by Governor Johnsno
several months after my connection
with the Chickasaws had terminated
When I was counsel for the Chicka-
saws a controversy arose between Gov
ernor Johnston and man named Bene-
dict respecting the Chickasaw schools.
II remember rightly, Benedict, a gov
eminent employee, was seeking to get
control Of the schools and hire the teach
ers. Governor Johnston contended that
the management of their schools was
left by what is known as the 'Atoka
agreement in their own hands. The
contention, I think, was going on when
was elected senator and if my mem
DRY serves me right in a conversation
on one occasion with Assistant Secretary
Ryan, / suggested that he should send
for Governor Johnston and Benedict for
a conference about the matter, which
he did. They came on. I was invited
into the conference and the matter was
amicably adjusted along the lines Of
Governor Johnston's contentious.
81 was not paid for anything I did,
directly OF indirectly, after I was elect
ed senator The governor did not have
the money to pay me when I quit his
services and that is the reason why
the warrants We're given to me in Oc-
tober, 1901. 1t was for services I had
rendered before I was a senator

TOLEDO II FLIES AGAIN.
Knabenshue Makes Another Success
full Trip Over New York City.

New York, Aug. 25.-The Toledo II,
Roy Knabenshue's airship, made a
second successful attempt to navigate
the aerial ocean above the city. Start
ing from a vacant lot at Sixty-second
street and Central Park West at 2:14
in the afternoon, he went south as far
as the Flatiron building and returned
safely to the park, where he landed
without trouble. The airship rose
straight IN the air for some distance
then turned west and circled over the
park. A faint clicking and whirring
started, and then the airship turned
its prov south and shot down Broad
way.
The crowd now had grown to MANY
thousands and they followed for a few
blocks, stumbling and falling over
every obstacle in the way, so fixed was
their attention on the wonder above.
Automobiles, cabs delivery wagons
and all kinds and conditions of vehicles
followed the course of the Toledo II.
Housetops and roofs of Office buildings
were black with people staring at this
strange ship in the heavens.

leeway, drifting as far east as Second
