eials in Indiana, inasmuch as it has
made them wonder what effect the re-
duced rates will have on the interur-
ban traffic
Traction officials have sought to
make their lines attractive by keeping
their rates of fare under those of the
steam roads. With charge of
cents a mile on the steam roads. the
electric lines have been able TO draw
a large patronage by charging from
cent to II cents less than this In
addition to the regular rate of fare.
however, the fractions have made ex-
cess charges for limited service. with
the result that there has been prac-
tically only a half-cent's difference in
the rates of fare between the two
modes of transportation.
Other Roads VIII Follow.
The proposed action of the Pennsyl-
vania, which will doubtless be follow

ger Association territory, to reduce
local and interstate fares to a basis
of 21a cents a mile and To sell mile

the rates of the steam roads and the
electric lines. This makes ii appear
that the traction companies will find
it to their interest to make proportion
ate reductions. That this is being
considered is known. 1t Is also
known that if reductions are made by
the electrics it will come through an
abolition of tn excess charge for the
limited service. For short hauls the
fractions will be able to hold their
own because of the convenience they
afford but for long rides. and this is
where the limited trains are used, in
ducements probably will have to be
made if the fractions hope to hold the
patronage they have built up.

The Board of Public Works is well

In speaking of the results of the ex-

New York, Oct 9-"This is going
to be campaign of Inyestigatlon-
was a statement made at Republican
committee headquarters. last night.
Charles E. Hughes has turned his tai
ents as an inquisitor on the affairs
of his opponent, w. R. Hearst. To-
night he declared that the Hearst cor
porations lodged their taxes. Hearst
is expected to reply in kind, and it
is a safe prediction that personalities
will become more and more bitter
as the campaigns proceeds.
In respect to the alleged deal be.
tween Hearst and Murphy Hearst
makes the following formal state
ment: Il had no understanding with
any boss before the convention, at,
the convention or after the convenI
ton I,
The full weight of the national adj
ministration will be thrown to-
Hughes Speaking dates have al
ready been set for Secretary Root
and Speaker Cannon. 1t is also pos
sible that William H. Taft will be
introduced into the campaign to-
wards its close.
Not Much Betting.
Wall-st. men who bet on elections
are still a good deal at sea, and there
is not yet much money in sight. A
pretty heavy Democratic drift to
Hughes is admitted, but there is
certain amount of Republican drift to
Hearst, which must be taken into
count. AS an example, there is a
law book Office at Chambers-st and
Broadway employing one manager
and four clerks. Of the five, two are
Democrats and three are Republi
cans. The two Democrats are for
Hughes, two of the Republicans are
for Hearst and the other is on the
fence.
Whether or not organized labor will
stick to Hearst and what the farmers
will do are the principals which are
still in doubt.

Highly Probable that Bloom

WILL BE A SHORT TRIAL
JONES WILL DEFEND HIS &c
TION BY CLAIMING THAT
STEPHENS HAD A REVOLVER
WHICH HE THREATENED TO
USE.

Bloomington, Ind. Oct. 9. fSpl. -
The grand jury of Monroe county
was called to meet today on the or
der of Judge Wilson, especially to
investigate the murder of Alfred
Stephens. which almost resulted in
mob violence Saturday night The
entire afternoon was to be devoted to
taking evidence.
The principal witness is the ten
year-old son of Stephens, who was
with his father at the time of the
murder He testified that the shoot
ing was without the least proyoca-
ton, though he admitted that his
father had revolver lying on a shelf
of the stand in which he was work
ing. There is little doubt that an in
dictment for murder in the first d.
gree will be returned
Prompt Trial Promised.
Judge Wilson says that the trfaf
will be set at once and that Jones
will be returned from Indianapolis
and kept here under guard so that
another outbreak will be impossible.
The jail will be carefully guarded. as
the feeling is not underestimate by
the officers. Not over two days will
be required for the trial and under
the contract with the county attor-
ney. Ira G. Batman, who fills that po-
sition, must make the defense
A friend of the negro says the de-
fense will be that Stephens first drew
the revolver that was later found in
his lunch stand and that Jones only
acted in self-defense.

Of Them.

Harry Leon Wilson, author OF The
Spenders," was domiciled for a summer
in Connecticut with a colony of artists
and writer's, all of whom had to go into
the city every day. relates the Saturday
Evening Post.
Wilson was doing nothing but loaf
ing. He loafed artistically, and from
time TO time met and haA fun with
some of the natives OF the place. One
day he found two men in the road who
seemed congenial, and he struck up an
acquaintance with them. He proposed
a drive and they got surrey and two
horses.
Can you driver" asked Wilson.

piled, II am fine driver"

driver valiantly steered the horses
into q telegraph pole and Wilson and
his two friends were thrown helter-
SHELTER into the road.
Wilson slowly gathered himself TO-

in the ditch rubbing his bruises and
the other stood in the middle OF the
road gazing in fearful misery at two

teeth, weeping afresh, "but please. oh,
