EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS
BEING MADE BY L & N
Progress Of the New Work on the Busy
Henderson Division.

rev people reallZe the magnl-
tude of the improvements being
made on the Henderson division.
| Although much work of this
kind has been done during the
Ipast year there is still a great
deal to do before the division
will be in accordance with the
plans of the officials of the l.. &
| N. r. r.
Construction work has been in
progress on the southern end of
the division between Guthrie
and Nashville for several years,
it requiring much time to COM
plete the tunnel at Bakers,
Tenn, which is one of the most
extensive improvements made,
and one that has removed the
danger that always attended
trips up and down this steep
grade. This tunnel was put in
to service only recently.
For several months past men
have been engaged in changing
the route of the road. This not
only consisted of reducing grades
and strengthening curves, but
new sidings have been laid and
old bridges replaced by new ones.
Construction trains are work
ing at the present time near
Springfield, Tenn, and at Sui
phur Fork men are engaged in
replacing the bridge at that
point. The iron bridge there has
been moved to the new line and
work is still being done at that
point by the bridge carpenters
of the company. Employees with
the aid of a steam shovel have
made a fill at Sulphur Fork that
was rs feet in depth in order to
bring the road to the required
height. The amount of material,
time and money used in this
work can be imagined as 1T was
necessary to make the width of
this particular fill It's feet at
the base.
After finishing at Sulphur
Fork the construction force will
take fresh start at Red river.
This is hard task and will prob
ably require a longer time for
completion than the work at any
other point except the tunnel at
Bakers. The steam shower can,
not be used there and much
blasting has been and will be
done.
The two passing tracks at
Sadlers, Tenn, have been ex-
tended so that they now have
capacity of 50 cars and reach al
most to Forts. The latter station
will be discontinued, it is be-
lieved, in the near future.
1t will be recalled by the read
ers of THE BEE that the survey
ing forces of the l.. & N, sur.
veyed both the northern and
southern part of the division last
winter and in the early spring.
The northern part was only sur
ueyed as far as Richards as the
road was considered to be IN no
need of changing beyond that
point. Sidings have been ex
tended on this end of the division
and it is understood that other
improvements VIII be made later
on. 1t is not necessary to mention
the improvements made in the
Darlington yards as this is fa-
miliar to all the readers of The
BEE, having been fully reported
in past issues.

property without union inter
ference and with such men as
they chose to employ. He then
plead with union men to give up
the hopeless struggle and look to
the welfare of their individual
families; to go to Illinois and
else where, where employment
was offered and men were scarce.
But his advice was thrown away
and since that time there have
been the numerous arrests for
intimidation and violence, and
the trial at Greensboro. And
now another murder is added to

by passionate and ill-advised
men IN the name of unionism.

Later news by telephone from
Sturgis to The BEE says that
Springer and Hall met the two
negro miners about six miles out
of Sturgis and ordered them to
turn and go back to Providence.
The two white men were armed
with rifles and the negroes who
were terrified, jumped out of
their buggy and fled. As they
ran they were shot and one of
them, Henry Harris, was left for
dead. The other, Jackson
Weathers, although fearfully
wounded, walked the six miles
into Sturgis and reported.
Robbery Charge is Made.
When officers from Sturgis
reached the scene of the shoot
ing they found the body of Har-
ris in a corn field near the road,
and the man was apparently
dead but later revived and was
still living at noon yesterday.
Harris charges that he had $l05
on his person when he was shot
and that he was robbed of this
amount and thrown over into
the corn field. A bullet found
in the dirt of the road after
passing through the body of the
man who was down is 30-30
calibre, steel bullet and proves
the character of the guns used
by the union men. No arms were
found on the wounded or near
the scene of action.
The men under arrest were
identified by Jackson Weathers,
who has worked for tLe West
Kentucky Coal Co., for some
time, and knew them well. There
were the other eye witnesses to
the shooting.
Harve Springer and Bob Hall
were among the number of union
who were fined at Owens
boro by Judge Cochran recently,
their names were not
at that time correctly reported
in the press dispatches from
Greensboro. The BEES infor-
mant states that Springer has
served a term in the
penitentiary.

FIRED AS VICTIMS RAN
AS the result of murderoui
attack made by two unior
miners Tuesday afternoon on the
highway between Wheatcrofl
and Clay, two union, negro
miners who were driving from
Providence to Sturgis, were shot
and wounded so seriously that
the doctors said at once that one
of them could not live. The
name Of the negro who was shot
in the bowels and was most Sc.
riously wounded was not learned
in the first advices to THE Bee.
Jackson Withers, the other
negro, was shot in the face and
through the shoulder. Although
his left jaw bone was torn com
pletely out the doctors thought
he had a chance to live. 1t is
stated upon reliable authority
that the assault was wholly un.
provoked.
Had Been to Federal Court
The two union men who did
the shooting were Harye Springer
and Bob Hall, of Sturgis. These
two men were among the num-
Der who were recently arraigned
before the Federal court at
Greensboro upon the charge of
violating the injunction against
interference with or intimidation
of the employees of the West Ken
lucky Coal Co., at Sturgis. AT
that trial Judge Cochran, who
presided in the absence o I
Judge Walter Evans, inflicted
the light penalty of twenty five
dollars fine each on eight of the
men convicted of intimi-
dating non.union men,. after ad-
Honishing them against any fur

were overtaken by Harve
Springer and Bob Hall, who were
arrested and taken TO Morgan

that Springer and Hall have been
looking for trouble for. some
time, and it is belived that they
have been implicated in other
acts of violence since the miners
union has been fighting the pur-
pose of the West Kentucky Coal
Company to operate its mines

Preacher Plead in Vain.
An interesting story, having
especial bearing on the desperate
character of the fight of the
union miners have been making
at Sturgis, has recently come to
THE BEE. An able evangelist,
who held a revival meeting at
Sturgis and had the confidence
of both parties to the struggle,
investigated the situation care
fully by talking with both the
miners and the operators and
concluded that there was no
chance for the union to win;
that the operators had made up

BERLIN, August 25.-The coils Of public

scandals in the colonial department are
Tightening around General Won Podbielski,
the Prussian minister for agriculture. His
wife's heavy financial interest in the firm Of
Tippeskirch & Co.. accused of corrupting
Maj Fischer, and the consequent SUPPOSE
ton that he must have had knowledge of
that officers relation with the firm, excite
Increasing disapproval.
The latest development affecting Herr
Podbielski is the revelation that while he
was postmaster general in Germany few
years ago Tippelskirch & Co. rented to the
government two floors Of their new building
in Kiauchau for post Office purposes. the
payment being so exorbitant that a several
years rental would have sufficed for the
construction of a whole new building.
1t Is announced that the minister's res
ignation will soon be placed in the hands
Of the kaiser. One Of the leading Ger
man dailies commenting upon this report
says that Germany has its graft" troubles

The more practical minded members
