STREET CAR GREW
TALK Of ASSAULT
Young and Baxter Say the
Whiting Cars Arrival
Prevented Murder.
CREW SUFFER MANY BRUISES
Motorman Thinks Nef VIII Try Yet
to Get Even For Being Put
Of Car.


Young who were assaulted by Nea
and Billings near the White House
few days ago were interviewd at
their homes yesterday by a Lake
County Times reporter.
Motorman Baxter was in bed when
seen and still showed the effects of
the terrible beating that he received.
His eyes were black and swollen.
In regard to the affair and its
probable consequences. he said: 1
hear that they may find its difficult
to convict those fellows of felonious
assault on account of lack of evil
dence to prove an intent to kill. 1t
may be hard to prove an intent to
kill but | am as certain as any one
that If the Whiting car had not
frightened those fellows away from
their job, a few more rounds would
have put me out of business.
Several times as / have been ly-
ing here the thought comes to me
that only the timely appearance OF
that Whiting car saved my wife and
little children from being fatherless,
for intent or no intentI could not
have lived under the blows of that
man Billings much longer.
"A great many people seem to
think that conductors and motormen
are grouchy and indifferent to the
wishes of their passengers because
they like to be, but l want to say
: right here that when a man has to
go through the strain Of taking a car
from Hammond to 63rd street in an
hour and thirteen minutes, when the
+ old schedule of an hour and twenty
minutes is fast enough, he is in a
bad temper all the time.
Il am certain that if these men
/. are let off with a small fine, it viii
E be almost impossible for conductor:
to handle the rowdy element. AS i
is I believe that Neff is one of thoss
fellows who would spend lifetime
getting even with me-

Young also claims that had it no
j. been for the timely arrival of tn
: Whiting car Neff would certainl

Young said: "Neff claims that

The wreck on the Erie Monday
morning at Burbank is said TO have
afforded railroad men their first OPP
portunity to compare the relative
value of steel and wooden cars. The
mail car. directly behind the engine
was of steel construction. 1t lunged
down a twelye-foot embankment.
turned over three times and yet came
out of the test uniniured. Still more
remarkable. the clerks employed in
the car escaped with a few bruises.
Immediately behind the mail coach
were the baggage and express cars,
both of wood construction. They,
too, took headers over the embank-
ment. but were smashed into twisted
wood and iron The demonstration
say railroad men. was undeniably the
strongest kind of argument for stee
cars as furnishing the greatest meas
ure of safety.

When all ungracefully you pierce
The toothsome oyster with your fork.

Lay of Ancient Rome.

Oh, the Roman was a rogue,
He erat was, you bettum,
He ran his automobiles
And smoked his cigarettum;
He wore his diamond studIbas.
And elegant cravatum,
A maxima cum laude shirt,
And such stylish hattum.
He loved the luscious hic-haec-hock,
And bet on games and equi.
At times he won; at others though,
He got is in the neqqi:
He winked quo usque tandem
At puellas on the Forum,
And sometimes even made
Those goo-goo oculorum.
He frequently was seen
At combats gladitorial.
And ate enough 10 feed
Ten boarders at Memorial.
He often went on sprees,
And said on starting homus,
"fIic labor-opus est.
''Oh, here's my hie-hic-domus,
Although he lived in Rome

He was (excuse the phrase,)

a fact which men seem to have

prize notion about confscat-

tolerable madness. They
threaten extreme measures
since and because of their dis
solution and the world may
well wonder what surprise
they have in store for US, as

! ton is equally in doubt But accord
ing to Agent Steele who received it
yesterday from Portland, it was prob
ably started on it's journey by some
express agent who did not expect it
to receive the attention it has. 1t is a
hat of the cowboy style, though not
of the real wide hrimmed variety. 1t
shows the hard usage it has been SUBJ
jected to during it's long ride around
the country and also bears evidence of
having been worn considerably before
being sent out on its journey.
BY shipping tags attached to the hat
Its course over the country can be
traced. 1t bears a tag from Jersey
City and other places in the east; At
lanta. Ca; Knoxville. Tenn; Hot
Springs, Ark; Cincinnati and Mem
phis. AT the latter place the agent
was somewhat of a poet, for he wrote
on the tag:
FROM this, you see. remember me:
I've been down in Tennessee"
cord that was attached in San
Francisco recalls the big ire. The
card is half burned and on it is writ
ten: "All there is LEFT of Frisco"
Just what inscription he will place
upon his card Agent Steele has not
yet decided, and he is open for sugges-
tons. He is intending to send it east
along the O. r. & ~ from this place

Is counseing among the leaders and
casting about for candidates. The
normal republican majority In Nez
Perez county since the accession of

conceded to be something like 1900

fore them.
Harry Lydon announces that he has
at last listened to the opportunities
of his friends and will enter the race
for the nomination for sheriff Mr.
I.ydon was sheriff of the county in
1896 and deputy sheriff in the per-

just on the brow of the Asotin hill,
says his barley is turning out very

THE SENATORIAL ELEcrroN

mere seems to be a slight misunder- standing as to the plan of the Demo- cratic State Committee. in re- lation to the election of Senators. It is plainly provided that vote be taken in each county by way Of in- struction to the Senators and Repro sentatives as to choice of the voters for United States Senators. This vote is confined entirely to the counties, and the members of the Legislature are bound to obey it. It is not gen. eral muster vote all over the State, but governs selection of legislators, who are all instructed as to the wishes of their constituents.
 For the alternate Senators. to be ap- pointed by the Governor in case of a vacancy, it is 4 case of straight state primary, and the two receiving the highest vote in the entire state are to be appointed by the Governor if vacan- cies occur.

St. Louis Republic. ,o.,o,,
 Predictions upon the basis Of electlon results in 1904 that the Republican marty could not long survive IS own bulk. seem in fair way to realizatloh at Washington, where the split is pro claimed. Many indications of a deep rift are present, with the conditions all pointing toward growing disparity ana antaronism. The administration IS de- fled in the House and is under unfelehts inS vestigation in the Senate. IT the signs do not mislead. the party VIII be utterly divided against itseII, not only in coming Legislation, but upon is- sues which will have to be carried 10 inc people in the national campaigns in,nnedtateIy before us.
 Never in it's history has the RepupIl- can party been so manifestly on trial. Never has 1t faced greater expectation or sterner demand. The promises 1t IS called upon to fulfill are glaringiy pIain. A record of nothing done, of to- tai failure of accomplishment accom- nanying it's cleft condition, will be dlI- fcuit for the nominal Republican party of 1909 to face. The Democratic party will be rightful proprietor of the vital issues upon which present-day Repupii- canism Is divided and should nave the th same support of popular strength when the Republican party of today IS vast ing and bringing to naught The Dem ocTatic chance to carry the country m tho next Presidential election, In the iight of what germinates at Washing ion today is excellent.
