Locks were used in the time Of the

a lock which is almost exactly like one

The Chicago. Cincinnati and Louis

plant before the railroad commission
II indianapolis this morning asking
the commission to compel the Monon
to permit the c., c. & /. TO cross
the Monon south Of Hammond. near
Courtney street. The complaint
says that the c., c. & l.. has promised
to pay the expenses of laying the
crossing and keeping it UP. Still the
Monon refuses to grant the permits
sion which the new road wants in
order to complete its projection fro-a
Calumet park to Griffith.
The Nonon has had men at the
proposed crossing watching the C.,
C. & L. people that they should not
cross. It was rumored then that the
C., c. & L. would force crossing
over the Monon.
The Monon would not oppose the
crossing as strenuously as it does, if
the new road were able to cross
somewhere else. The understanding
is now. that the Mcnon is not object
ing to a crossing whatsoever, provid-
ed it is e.eyated. AS the O. G. & L,

the two Monon yards, which are
Known as the Hammond and South

SUBSCRIPTION SIS PER YEAI
Oil Trust Shocked.

VII xINSl 011OCkAOO.
III. II. ROGERS, Vice President
of the Standard Oil Trust, after
having been compelled to admit
his name while being investi-.
gated by the Attorney General.
Of Missouri, now looms up as a
much abused person. Through
his attorneys, the attention of
the court is called to the sensa-
tional manner of conducting the
hearings. They disclose the.
fact that the room was crowded
with representatives of the press
and photographers. They refer
to the taking of fashlight photo
graphs and the brief recites that
the whole proceedings showed
San utter disregard Of the deco
rum and judicial propriety which
should pr vail in the conduct of
proceedings Of this character in
the courts of law
Thereupon Mr.. Rogers be-
came shocked. His dignity was.
offended. It is quite a com mon
instance among people who have
less, to stand upon their dignity
because they have nothing else
left to stand on. He objected to
having had his picture taken.
The picture was the first in sew
eral years and showed a man
worried and brow beaten
whose burdens trou bled him
severely, instead of the bright,
pleasant, happy individual we
were accustomed to recognize as
Mr.. Rogers. No doubt this was
a shock to him. It indicated that
his facial expression at least
portrayed a conscientious worry
which no one else would believe
existed. He must have been ter
ribly shocked when he learned
that a subpoena had been issued
to oblige him to testify. Almost
as much shocked as the ground
hog is when he sees his shadow
and crawls back in his hole for
forty days, for it took nearly two
weeks to get service Of this sub
poena on Mr.. Rogers.
In truth the utter disregard
of decorum'' is shocking to the
trust. Anything which forced
them to interrupt their daily
routine would be shocking but to
he obliged to appear in the lime
light before the public is cutter
disregard Of decorum. How
much more shocking would it be
to the general public if they
.conld tru1hfully learn just how
the trust succeeded in acquiring
it's vast wealth and control. To
know how the consumers had
been victims of double dealings
beginning from the minute the
product is drawn from the
ground to the time il is delivered
at their houses. Pipe lines, rail
road rebates, killing OF opposi-
tion and the like. Lack of deco
rum and shock would but poorly
describe the feelings of the pub
lie.
When the managers Of the
octupus are obliged to fall back
on such terms for q legal argu-
ment, it is evident that their
ground is pretty shaky and they
-

can already feel themselves
trent bling in the balance when
the full, righteous outburst Of
public indignation falls upon
them. They realize that the
clean up, when it. does come, will
be thorough. So they are
shocked.

Lack Of Transports,

Lack of Transports.
The general staff of the army
recently reported that the
government needed more trans.
ports and the accommodation
was sent to the merchant marine
committee now in charge of the
subsidy bill in the Senate I'm
doubtedly many will see in this
an effort to subsidize shipping
but, in the event of war, no
efficient transport service could
be created out Of merchant
vessels, no matter how large the
fleet.
During our recent mlsunder,
standing with Spain, several
vessels were subsidized and
called into transport service and
the result was disastrous. In
the first place the government
paid more for the boats than
they were worth and it was a
standing joke that if anyone
wanted to dispose of a steam
yacht of which they had become
wearied. all that was necessary
was to show q little PATRIOTS 20
land offer it to the government.
They were gobled up at an out
landish price and it is possible
that there is still a com mittee at
work trying to determine and
report on what became of large
number of them.
If the United States is to re-
tain the Philippines or maintains
any other policy likely to call for
rapid transportation Of troops
over the seas, it should keep up
a transport feet of it's own, built
and equipped especially for
military use and always. at the
command Of the War Depart
ment. It would be much cheaper
than d subsidy fleet and much
| more efficient.
A little personal experience in
transports was undergone by the
writer who happened to be sent
to Porto Rico. With his regiment,
220 mules were shipped, mas
much as men were falling all
over each other trying to enlist,
they we're not Of much account
but mules were costing the
government about $500 in cash
and had to oe closely cared for.
The result was that the officers
caused stalls to be built all
around the port holes so as TO
assure the mules plenty of good
fresh air and hammocks for. the
men were strung up in the space
that was left, to breathe what air
there was left. Several men
died on the trip down and many
others acquired an illness from
which they never recovered, but
the mules were all landed safely.
When our tub of a transport
reached Ponce in Porto Rico, we
were met by General Miles who
greeted us through megaphone
and asked how we Jared on the
trip. Our commanding officer
replied: "F'ine and we haven
lost a mule To this Miles
responded "To hell with the
mules. How are your men.
This only illustrates how little
some men figure the value OF
human life when com pared with
that OF an animal that necessi-
tated an outlay in cash to obtain.
Many lives can thus be charged
| to subsidized transport service.
