HAVE PURCHASED D. & \.
BIG TRACTION DEAL MADE
Company Which is to Build Rival
Traction Line from Here to Dayton
in Ohio.

The traction syndicate, represented.
in Indiana by Hugh MCGOWAN, and in
Ohio, by w. Kelsey Schoepf, has
bought the Dayton & Northern Trac-
ton company, which operates forty
three miles between Dayton and
Greenville, and parallels the Dayton
Union railway between those points.
The deal for the Dayton & Northern
was closed last week and the syndi-
cate has assumed control. 1t has not
been announced on what basis the
property was obtained by the Meow
n-Schoepf-Morgan crowd. At Green
vile the Dayton & Northern connects
with the Dayton & Muncie. which is
controlled by the syndicate. The
syndicate will build a new line from
Dayton to Richmond, which will be
four miles shorter than that travelled
by the Dayton & Western, which
line the syndicate tried to buy. The
price said to have been $3.o00,000
proved barrier.
1t was learned yesterday that Mr..
MCGOWAN and Mr. Schoepf are max
ing plans on large scale to carry to
incinnati all the traction lines run
ming to Dayton, and many of those OPP
Grating in this state. According to
plans under consideration it is pro-
posed to take the interurban cars into
Cincinnati over the Cincinnati, Dayton
& Toledo Traction Company's tracks.
The c., D. & T. will ask the City
Council Of Cincinnati for the right to
lay additional tracks in order that the
cars may be run into the center of the
city without the necessity of changing
at Spring Grove avenue is the case
at present.

HILL Is FOR CLEAN BALL
President Of City League Orders Um-
pires to Put any Disturber Out of
Game-The kIbbey's Protests Were
Overruied.

At meeting of the managers and
officials of the City League the pro-
tests of the Kibbey team on their
games with the East Ravens and the
Pan Handles were considered. After
investigating the charges made by the
Kibbey manager both protests were
thrown out. In the East Haven game
the Kibbeys claimed that more than
four East Haven players were on the
base line when one Of the Kibbey
players was run down between bases.
They also complained of a decision of
Umpire Slack in declaring Pitcher
Jeffries of the East Ravens safe at
home plate. The first charge was not
considered because there is no rule
in the rule book which states how
many men can be on base line when
a base runner is being run down be-
tween bases. The second charge was
overruled because the umpire's decis.
ion made no material difference in the
outcome of the game. The Kibbeys
protested the Panhandle game be-
cause they charged Pitcher Ridge Of
the Panhandles was professional
and not employed by the Panhandle
railroad. The managers decided that
Ridge was not a professional and that
it was not necessary fora player to be
a member of team which represented
some company, concern or institution
in the city league.
After the decisions of the managers
on these two protested games had
been made the manager of the East
Haven team filed a charge of rowdy
playing against the Kibbey team and
stated that if the league did not call
halt on the Kibbeys all the games
the East Ravens have scheduled with
that team would be Cancelled. Presi-
dent Hill told the East Haven mana
gers that he would instruct all City
League tmpires to order any player
who acted in a rowdy way out of the
game and if he persisted in his &C.
tions, to order him off the field. 1t is
thought that rowdy ball will be stopp-
ed by clothing the umpires with this
authority.

Protests Against Closing
14th Street Today.

The board of public works will to.
day hear all complaints on the closing
of North Fourteenth street from E
street to the P, G. & st. L. right of
way, so that the Hoosier Drill Branch
of the American Seeding Machine
Company can enlarge its plant No
complaints had been received by the
board up to yesterday, but it is ex-
pected that one or two manufacturers
whose BUSINESS will be effected by the
closing of the street, will file COM
plants. 1t is the general opinion
that the board will oyerrule these
complaints. in which case another
date will be set for receiving all
claims for damages. 1t is probable
that the Hoosier Drill will be in po-
sition to start work on the enlarge
,ment Of the plant by the first of July.

A RIGHT OF EMINENT DOMAIN
Many persons are making strenuous
efforts to get hold of tide.lands, being
impressed with the idea that if they
obtain title from the State, they have
a title for all time to come. Con-
gress has the power to regulate COM
merce, foreign and interstate, and
many OF these holdings may some day
be appropriated for commercial pur-
poses, in the not very distant future, if
this part of the country shall develop
at a rapid pace. The railroad COM
panies are on to this proposition, ard
if occasion demands will doubtless use
their efforts to hasten Congressional
action. The U. S. courts have in
numerous instances decided that priv
ate parties hold such property sub.
ject to the exercise of this Federal
prerogative. OF course, under State
and Federal law, private property
cannot be taken ior public use with
out compensation. But it seems in
the Chicago Lake water Front suits
this rule is not applicable, for the rea.
son that the public through the exer-
else OF rightful Federal agency,
assumes jurisdiction over public prop
erty that has never been alienated from
public use.

AN UNFAIR RULING AT TIMEs.-In o

adduced, claimed he expected to prove
certain facts, which the higher court
held we're too highly colored, relative
to certain corporate methods. 1t is
fact that cases have been reversed be.
cause attorneys have commented upon
matters not in evidence after the testi.
mony had been introduced; but it
seems somewhat unfair to determine
case on the opening statement Of
successful counsel. Suppose q lawyer
should state he anticipated proving
certain matters. some of which the
court should rule out Of the case as

UNCLE SANS PENsIoNERs.-Of the
million pensioners on the rolls of the
government, only four remain on
that of the Revolutionary war, a wild
ow OF one veteran and three daughters
of another. The Department some
what callously, We think, designates
them by numbers, and the widow
comes under the title of "No. IA ,632."
The crest OF the wave OF pension de-
pendents was reached Jan. 81, 1905,
when it rose to 1901, l96. From a re.
port just made by the Department, it
is shown that there are 11,472 pen
sioners OF the Mexican war, 1000 OF
whom are widows and children, and
there are ego widows OF soldiers of the
Spanish war on the list. The pension
roll of the civil war contains the
names Of 666,453 surviving veterans.
More than 5000 pensions are paid
abroad; 1861 of them going to Can.
ada, Coz to Germany, 495 to Ireland
and the remainder are scattered in Ga
countries of the globe. The report
shows that the grand total paid in
pensions by our Government has been
SO, 459, S60,3ll, of which only $780,
AS, 444, had been paid prior to the
beginning OF the Civil war. The total
amount that has so far been paid on
Spanish war pensions is little over
fifteen and half millions Of dollars.

Gov. SEMPLE SOLVES THE PROBLEM.
Gov. Eugene Semple, the last Terri
torial Executive OF Washington, has
apparently cut the Gordian knot that
has hitherto tied Portland's interests
in an inextrioable snarl, by the bare
suggestion of a canal from Young's
Bay to an outlet near Tillamook head,
which watercourse need not be more
than twenty miles in length, and con.
structed at an estimated cost of ST.

tails considered in the estimate. The

efficiency when built lie more chimeri.
