Authorities to Take Precautionary
Measures for Prevention of
Further Accidents.
PASSENGERS ARE TO BLAME
Cars Are Crowded to Double Their Ca
pacity by Passengers Anxious to
Return Home, Resulting in
Numerous Accidents.

| CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.-A record o.
1872 persons killed and 2,271 others in
jured on the surface and elevated
traction lines of Chicago since Jan
last, gives impetus to the crusade
against the overcrowding of cars
which was begun by the officials OF
the city yesterday.
The police, afoot and mounted, will
assume measure of control over the
| operation of traction lines Granting
the expected permission" from the
corporation counsel, the force under
Chief Collins will undertake the task
of preventing the overcrowding of all
Il" trains and the blockading of sur
face cars within the loop, beginning
tonight.
1t Is planned to place uniformed DO
licemen on every station of the loop.
Just how many passengers will be
permitted on each car has not been
decided, but the suggestion was made
that not more than one and one half
times the seating capacity of each car
should be accepted as safe,
That every car leaving the loop
during the rush hour last night had
far overlapped the safe" limit under
this stipulation was plain. The av-
erage seating capacity of the cars
used in the elevated trains is fifty
six. A count of the passengers on
the car showed that the average was
between 1875 and 1876, while some cars,
with their overcrowded platforms, car
led as many as $50 and 100.
1t is planned to divide the police
orces for the supervision of surface
md elevated car traffic into two
quads-the mounted police to pre-
'ent teamsters from blockading sur
ace cars and patrolmen to prevent
he overorowding of IL" trains.

Statement OF Brownsville Affair
Reported by Gen. Nettle-
ton Yesterday.
DESERVE THEIR PUNISHMENT
colored Soldiers Were Insolent To-
ward White Men and Women and
First Reports Made to the
President Confirmed.

| BROWNSVILLE. Tex, Nov. 2s.-
Because OF the apparent misunder-
standing In all portions Of the country
relative to the facts which called
forth the order from President Roose-
welt dischargng three companies OF
colored troops recently stationed herf
and In view OF the resultant criticism
OF the Presidents course In the mat

vile recently requested that General
Nettleton of Chicago, former assist
ant secretary OF the treasury now
here on business, to make In his own
way an impartial investigation OF the
Brownsville tragedy and report his
conclusions.
General Nettleton made an exhaus-
tive examination into all the facts and
has embodied his findings in letter
to the secretary Of war, In which he
says that the investigation made by
him confirms In every particular the
conclusions reached by the two army
officers sent here by the War Depart
ment on the strength Of which report
President Roosevelt took his action
and discharged the three companies Of
negro soldiers without honor. General
Nettleton says that we'll attested evil
dence from reliable sources submitted |
to him is In effect, that the negro |
troops here were treated with the |
same consideration as troops in the
northern states. and on the other hand,
the conduct Of some of the negro
troops was frequently aggressive and
insulting toward white
men and women. He says there was
no provocaton for the attack and
nurderous raid, unless providing sep
'rate bars for negroes might be called
/ provocation. He says that on two
occasions the insolence was resented,

lie says there was no riot or street

Jettleton, mot an opposing shot was

General Nettleton especially raises {
he question what We're the white
fficers doing on the night of the raid?
Ie concludes by saying that the per-
stent attempts to make martyrs of c
lie discharged soldiers would be ap- a

Both Men Receive q Terrible
Beating With Burns the
Aseressor.
EVIDENCE or BITTERNESS
Looked In the Middle Of the Fight az
Though Burns Would Win Easily,
o'Brier Being oroapy and
Nearly Out.

Los ANGELES. Cal. Nov 2s.--
Philadelphia Jack o'Brien and Tom
my Burns tonight fought twenty ter
rife rounds to draw, when the
end came II found both men In the
center OF the ring engaged IN ter
rihlo struggle, The whole upper
part Of their bodies were covered with
blood. when Jeffries held up the
gloves Of both fighters. a shout Of dis
approval went up from tho Burns ad-
mirera. who believed their man had
won, Burns who fought like bull
dog from beginning to the end was
always on the aggressive. erowdlng his
opponent TO the ropes and frequently
rushing him across the ring.
Burns landed many heavy blows,
more than his opponent. and they
seemed to show greater force, O'Brien's
footwork. however was fast and clever
and his ducking saved him time and
again from severe punishment. Burns,
however. landed many stiff blows on
O'Rrien's face and had the latter's
nose bleeding and right eye laid open
early In the fight. Burns. too. was
severely punished about the face. his
nose being blooded and his left eye
completely closed at the termination OF
the fight.
The men showed evidence OF bit
terncss toward each other throughout
the fight, II looked In the middle OF
the fight as though Burns would win
easily o'Brien was almost groggy
and Knockout seemed not improb-
able, In the sixteenth round, OBrlen
who had rested In clnches, appeared
strengthened and for while carried
the fight to his opponent. Neither
man scored knockdown during the
fight Jeffrles' refereeing was en- {
inently satisfactory. Jeffries expe-
rlenced the greatest difficulty In pry- !
ing the fighters apart from the te- !
naclous cllnches In every round OF
the fight.
After the fight Burns said: "T won
fairly and / think the decision was
bad chased O'T'rien miles all over
the ring. Just compare our faces and
draw your own conclusions"
O'Brien said: II am well salts
fed with the decision. Jeffries did o
the right thing. I out-pointed Burns, p
think, but I was a little light for X
him. Hereafter shall fight In the II
class Burns was a bit Y
stronger than expected and he fought ir
! good fight" "
Referee Jeffries said: "There was pl
lothlng to warrant a different decision W
n favor of either. Both were strong Oh
t the finish, There was not enough
anding done to justify selection of
he best man."

GOOD ROADS

Good roads are the problem in
New York state just as they are
in Idaho. There has been q de-
crease Of IS per cent, in the rural
population and y falling of Of ST..
600, 600 in the taxable property Of
the big Empire state in 20 years,
and the loss is attributed to bad
country roads. There is now a
movement going on to have the
King road drag adopted, which
has been q great instrument in
making good roads in the states Of
the central vest. In Iowa the
cost per mile Of using the King
road drag is only $2.4O, with the
result that several thousand miles
OF roads in that state have been
made passable for heavy freight at
all seasons Of the year.
1t Is surprising that our Camas
Prairie farmers do not utilize this
simple device to overcome the bad
roads here. No matter what the
season Of the year, now is the &C.
cepted time. There is no "best
season" to begin road dragging.
Drag the roads now, while the soil
is loose and moves easily; the GEN.
ter Is thus quickly raised and
drainage afforded, giving a good
dry road all through the summer
and fall. As an object lesson in
the use of the King drag, the may
or of Onawa, Iowa, writes: II
finished it before noon and put it
to work on a single block Of our
Main street. The soil is gumbo
and the street was almost impass-
able for the mud being hub deep
in some places. We put the drag
right on to the mud and kept it
going. At 5 o'clock, just four
hours after beginning to use the
drag, wagons loaded with 1000
pounds Of baled hay were being
drawn over the block and were
making scarcely perceptible rut.
But when they went over the
crossing the wheels again sank
nearly to the hubs in the mud"
