COLE SoUNGER "A PROMOTER.
Former Bandit Head Of Huge Electric
Railway Project.


Railway Project.
Kansas City, Aug. 12.-Cole Young
er, e14Banditi and train robber, is the
head and front of a movement to
build an electric railroad from Lone
Jack to Kansas City. The company
that will build the line has been in
corporated at Jefferson City under the
name Of the Kansas City, Lees Sum-
nit and Eastern Electric Railroad
company
Mr. Younger and his associates say
that the right of way has been Sc
cured and that the project has been
financed. It is the purpose to ulti-
mately extend the line to Jefferson
City, where it will connect with the
projected electric road from st. Louis,
thus mal1ings a through electric rail-
road between Kansas City and St.
Louis.
81 have been hard at work on this
proposition" said Cole Younger. Il
have trampled over the entire line and
have secured practically all Of the
right of way. ThesSproposition is
financed by men from Chicago and
New York. I have had great incen-
tive to work on this proposition. .
''As a boy | got acquainted with
every foot of the ground through
which our road will run. Later in life
I made a great deal of trouble in that
neighborhood and now want, in a
way, to make amends by seeing that
my old friends and neighbors have
facilities for bringing their hogs, cat
tie and corn to market"

slxTYEieHT RESIDENTS OF NEW
ORLEANS STRICKEN WITH
FEVER in ONE DAY.
ONE FAVORABLE FEATURE NOTICED.
SMALL PERCENTAGE OF DEATHS
PLEASING TO THE MEDICAL
AUTHORITIES.

New Orleans. Aug. 12.-The fever
situation shows no material change,
though sixty-eight new cases in the
preceding twenty y-four hours is high
water mark during the visitation. The
federal surgeons are not in the least
surprised at the number and Dr.
White expects large report daily for
some time yet. He believes that the
totals in the last few days indicate
that the physicians are falling in line
and reporting their cases and he ex-
poets as a result that the ,extraor-
binary work which is being done will
begin to show much earlier than
might otherwise be expected. AS long
as the deaths are kept down the au-
thorities will be free from alarm over
the situation.
DR.. Tichenor and the yellow fever
nurses sent from here are at Bon Ami
and confidence is being restored there.
Conditions are not as bad as they
were expected to be found. There
have been no new cases and the two
cases under treatment have been
segregated and screened.
1T The colored population of Franklin,
La, the home of Senator Foster, have
set fine example. They have held a
mass meeting and volunteered to
clean the whole town under the super
vision of a white foreman.
There is no fever in Alabama or
Mississippi, the suspicious sickness
reported at two points in the latter
There are fifty cases under treatment
in Louisiana outside Of New. Orleans.
TYPHOID FEVER PREVALENT.
New York City Fears Severe Siege Of
Disease.
New York, Aug. 12.--Fear that this
city will have a severe siege of ty-
phoid fever which might not be
checked until cold weather sets in has
caused the health department to. issue
statement as to the nature of the
disease and rules for checking it's
spread.
According to the medical Office Of
the department there were during the
year up to the beginning of the pres
ent month /, ,496 cases of typhoid and
305 deaths in Greater New York.
In proportion to the population there
have been more cases and more deaths
in Brooklyn than in any other bor-
ough, which Commissioner Darlington
attributes largely to the contaminat-
ing Of the water supply Of that bor-
ough, although it has been stated that
on examination of the city water in
Bay Ridge and Bath Beach no typhoid
germs had been found
More than 100 cases Of typhoid are
being treated in hospitals in the
southern section of Brooklyn. A house
to house canvass for cases of typhoid
is being made in one ward, it having
been asserted that the authorities are
greatly hindered in their efforts to
stamp out typhoid by the failure of
doctors to report cases.

in a ride Of twenty miles in the coun-
try and the auto was being driven by
Mr~ Darrah at forty miles an hour ID

wagon loomed up just in front. Dar-
rah threw the machine to one side
and struck the wagon in such a way
that the machine leaped into the air,
turned upside down and then bounded
forward. Darrah was thrown from the
auto, his neck was broken and he died
IN few minutes. Miss White was

AWAITING RUSSIAN REPLY.
Pause in Peace Negotiations at Ports
mouth, N. n.

s . .a
Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 12.:-With
the Japanese terms under considera-
tion by the emperor at st. Petersburg
and the Russian plenipotentiarie
awaiting the word Of his majesty be-
fore completing the draft of their re-
sponse a pause has come in the pro-
ceedings of the peace conference. The
tallyhos and automobiles which
reached the entrance of the Went
worth hotel at the usual hour were
sent back to their quarters. The heat
was sWeitering. Baron Komura and
his colleagues remained closely in
their rooms. They have figuratively
folded their arms and await the Rus
sian response. NJ. Witte was at work
early and with his. secretaries was
bnsily engaged in deciphering tele-
grams from st. Petersburg All the
threads, are in his hands He con-
trolls and directs everything on the
Russian side. His colleague, Baron
Rosen, accompanied by NJ. Pokotiloff,
toured into Portsmouth with an auto
mobile to do some shopping.
The Japanese ENJOYS feel relieved
that the terms of peace have been
made known to the Russians and are
calmly awaiting the: reply. Among

@ Absolutely UnentertainabIe.
On these points the Russian answer
is sure to be "a non possimus. Never
theless, this will not end negotia-
tions. M. Witte. is sincerely desirous
OF making peace and the Russian re-
ply plainly stating what points can
and what points cannot be accepted
as a basis Of negotiation will leave
the. way, open for further proposals
and counter proposals.
The Russians would doubtless like
to proceed by a process of elimina-
tion, agreeing to some and rejecting
or making counter proposals to 9TH
ers- But the Japanese are not ex-
pected to agree to enter on the diplO-
matte game of give and take until
after the general principles are ac-
cepted
Their rejoinder to the Russian reply
is expected to be practically an ulti-
matuma statement of their irreduci-
bic minimum, which they will ask
the Russians to take or leave. AS far
as the cost of the war is concerned,
while the Japanese have mentioned
no sum, it is known that they esti-
mate the cost to date at about $685.
100000 The advantage from this
point of view of not naming a fixed
sum is that it makes clear that the
principle of money compensation
which they have adopted is the cost
of the war, which will continue at the
rate of aboat s1,O00,O00 a day as long
as the war continues.
Among the Russian newspaper cor
respondents the Japanese terms were
regarded as impossible and the opin-
ion was expressed that they would be
received with resentment by the Rus
sian. people.

LINER At MERCY OF STORM.
Hamburs-American Steamer Has Ter

7 @
New York, Aug. 10. For twenty
four hours the Hamburg-American
liner Graf Waldersee drifted at the
mercy of a hurricane which struck
her during the transatlantic voyage
which the steamship finished during
the day in safety. On arrival at their.
pier, only two hours late, the passen-.
gers held a reception to thank Cap
tain Krech for bringing them safely
through the greatest storm expert
enced in the history of the Graf Wal
dersee and probably one of the worst
ever faced by an Atlantic liner.
The storm began on the morning of
Aug. 2. a few hours later waves
were rolling over the ship, all passen-
gers were locked beneath decks and
bags of oil were hung over the ships
sides for thirty-six hours as a protec-
ton. During tWenty-four hours the
waves ran so high that the steering
gear Of the liner was inadequate to
keep her in her course and the ship
practically drifted with the storm.
Some lifeboats and deck superstruc-
.ure were carried overheard by the
waves.
