A Grieyous Oversight.

Editor Herald: Will some one
inform the public why the gate at
the cemetery was kept locked all day
long Memorial Day, and those who
wished to enter were required to
mount the steps over the fence?
1t seems to me that of all times,
that day was the one on which the
cemetery should have been open.
There was no necessity for locking
the gate, as vehicles could easily
have been kept out of the grounds if
that is the reason for the oversight.
saw aged and crippled veterans, to
say nothing of feeble old ladies,
mounting these hard steps, when a
little thoughfulness on the part OF
some one would have made it easier
and more agreeable.
l hope these few words will not
be forgotten ere another occasion
arises for the public to use the
cemetery, and those who have such
matters in charge will be on hand.

ACTIVE STEPSFOR
HUMANE SOCIETY
W. C. 7. U. TO UNDERTAKE WORK
Mrs. Il. Ii. Shelton to Present the
Proposition at Next Meeting of
Temperance Organization.

The ladies of the w. c. T. u.
expect to meet in two weeks to con-
slider the question of the organiza-
ton of society for the prevention
of cruelty to animals. They are in
vestigating the question thoroughly.
Mrs. Shelton again called upon
Mayor Reed Thursday in reference
to the matter.
81 came to tell you that I have re-
ceived letter from the Spokane de-
partment of the Humane society,
and their advice is to lay the mat
ter before the w. c. T. w. said
Mrs. Shelton to the mayor, when she
told of the progress Of her work in
this behalf "And | think that will
be done at the next regular meeting.
1t will then be arranged, l think, to
call public meeting of all those who
are interested in the matter, and see
If some active start toward the work
cannot be commenced at once. We
want to interest the people.
"The letter from Spokane states
that we should request the city to
allow the pound to come under the
control of the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals. If that
is done, the society will have spe-
cial officer appointed to be keeper
of the pound, see that the impound-
ed animals are properly fed, and at a
fair price to those who redeem them
later. Ninety per cent of the money
thus raised will be turned back into
the pound, and the balance will go
to the city,
Jos. E. Rudersdorf, manager of
the Spokane Humane Society, writes
to Mrs. Shelton under date of May
81, the substance of his letter be-
ing as follows:
"a humane society is good thing
for every city. To be rightly con-
Quoted, it must have at its head &
man who understands animals, who
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1906-06-06

will be ready to go at call at any
time of the day or night. He must
be man well versed in the law gov
erning this proposition. A good idea
is to conduct pound in connection
of all stray dogs, also for the caring
with the society for the impounding
of stock that has been injured"
The state law, section 1, provides
that any citizen may incorporate n
humane society. Provided, that the
corporate body existing at any given
time and first incorporated shall be
the one entitled to benefits in the
county.
Section 2 reads: The officers must
wear badges, and shall by the trus-
tees of such society be duly author
lied in writing and approved by any
judge of the superior court of the
county, and sworn in as are consta-
bles and peace officers, and shall
have power to prevent cruelty to ami
mails, and may use force in the full
fillment of their duty.
Section 4 defines cruelty: Fail
ure to care for, feed, r-loading,
mutilating, cruelty beataing, an ami ,
NAL shall be counted as a INSIDE
meanor.

(The End.)
EFFECT ON FREIGHT RATES.

Within the last few days an an
nouncement has been made Of a pro-
posed air line electric route between
New York and Chicago, reduced to a
distance of TAP miles, the run to be
made in ten hours. The Pennsyl-
vania railroad line between Chicago
and New York is 912 miles. The
electric air line route would thus cut
off 10 miles, or 1876 per cent Of
the steam road distance.
Assuming that an electric trunk
line between Chicago and New York
is financially and otherwise practic-
able, and this is open to question
the strategic value of such a project
is such as possibly to have a far
reaching effect on the whole trunk
line situation. The Wall Street
Journal thinks that If electric lines
could eventually parallel the trunk
lines to the Atlantic and Gulf sea-
ports their influence on the railroad
situation might not stop with pas.
senger traffic. Thy would begin to
tell sooner or later on freight condi-
lions. They would not simply figure
as feeders of the railroad, as they
are now generally doing, but possibly
reduce the ton-mile rate of freight
to a new low basis of cost. The av-
erage revenue a ton mile for the
year ended June 80, 1903, was .7G2c,
and for 1904, .7S0c. This is the low
est average cost of any railroad sys-
TEN in the world, but cannot be ac-
cepted as finality. The probable eff
feet of electric line construction on
railway rates would not only be
found to induce through freights,
but might be still more marked in
its effect upon local freight rates.
This is doubtless a far look ahead,
but the development of electrical
power has been so rapid and marvel
Gus that it's possible future growth
becomes a subject of fascinating in
terest.

manner that Niedemeier and Van
Dine were both painfully injured by
discharges in the face. Another
l,discovery was made, and that was
that stranger to the police was
seen running for a while with the
rest of the boys.
In this manner of skirmishing an
other officer was shot. He was Sc
verely wounded, but did not die un-
til after he was placed on the train
on the way home.
A long and exciting chase follow
ed. Roeski, the newly discovered
bandit, was seen to escape in another
direction through a corn field. An
effort was made to find him, but to
no avail. Then Van Dine and
Niedemeier separated. Their move
was a puzzle to the police, but the
officers divided and went after both
of them, Roeski escaping in most
mysterious manner.
1t was noticed that Neidemeier
was making fast track toward sand
train that was standing on a tenn
porary track that had been built into
the dunes. Horror stricken, the po-
lice saw Neidemeier walk up to a
brakeman and command him to un-
couple the engine. The brakeman
refused and Neidermeier shot him
dead in his tracks, uncoupled the
train and then ordered the engineer
to go ahead. There was nothing for
them to do but follow instructions,
having seen their comrade shot
down without word. The engine
started and soon accumulated speed.
But, to the CONSERVATION of Neide-
meier, the track was laid for only a
half mile further and the hunted
man ordered a reverse of the throt-
tie.
Then the engine came tearing
back. A collision between the en-
CINE and sand cars was inevitable,
apparently, but just as the engine
was rounding curve, ready to col
Tide with the sand cars, Niedemeier
jumped, the engine was stopped and
the smash-up averted.
Niedemeier took for the dunes and
was soon overtaken. He was a very
docile prisoner. He was neither ex-
cited nor frustrated, but took his ar
rest calmly. He would say nothing
as to why he had made such a des-
perate attempt to escape, nor would
he give any information as to where
the other boys had gone. Only one
thing would he say, and that was
dramatic. 1t was in answer to the
question as to where Roeski had
gone
Il told Roeski that he would have
to leave us. in order to discomfort
the officers" said Niedemeier. Il
told him that we would shoot him
and kill him if he did not do so.
That is the reason, guess, why he
made his getaway"
Meanwhile the officers had
brought Harvey Van Dine to bav.
He was captured without a struggle,
although he had several rounds of

ammunition left. He made no ef-
fort to use his gun when it was told
TO him that Pete was in the tolls.
Van Dine and Niedemeier were
taken to the Miller Station depot at
once They we're handcuffed and
made no effort to escape. But
neither of them would speak a word.
Roeski was the one who was now
bothering the police. No one knew
where he had gone.
Just a short way from the Lake
Shore depot was another depot, be-
longing to the Pennsylvania COM
pany. A telephone message was re-
ceived by the agent that a man was
in the depot who appeared to be a
desperate character. He had pur-
chased a ticket for Chicago. So
Schuettler and l made haste over
there in company with three police
officers. 1t was on this trip to the
depot that we discovered the loss of
Dillon. Schuettler sent me back to
notify the police that he was miss
ing, and it was then that detail
was sent out to find his body and
bring it back to the depot.
In the Pennsylvania depot Roeski
was discovered. He was on bench
asleep, with the Chicago ticket in
his hand. He was awakened by
Chief Schuettler and asked where he
was going. He maintained wonder
full presence of mind, but the cute
questioning that followed soon con-
WINGED the big chief that he was one
of the gang. So he was arrested
and taken with the rest of them.
The special train upon which we
travelled home contained the bodies
of three policemen who had been
shot and killed in the fight. One of
them died on the way in. Chained
to other seats were the three prison.
ers. One by one they were ap-
preached and asked to tell their
stories. Only one would talk, and
that was Van Dine. He talked with
a nonchalant air and in the same
way as though he were telling a
story. He made full and complete
confession OIL all his misdeeds. The
confession was one of the most hor-
rible that had ever been listened to
by the police of the city. 1t told of
murders and robDeries by the whole
sale and cleared up many mysteries
that had perplexed the police for
long time.
The train stopped at the Twenty
second street station and several pO-
lice patrol wagons had been tele-
graphed for. The police, the prison
ers and the bodies were all transfer
red, and through a solid line of peo-
pie almost two miles long the blue
wagons travelled TO the city hall
There we all met in the office of the
chief of police, Francis O'Neill, and
listened to the confession of Van
Dine in full, from start to finish.

this second confession l had my note
paper on the back of Carter Harri-
son, who was then mayor of the city.
The arrest of the three men was
source of great relief to the people,
of Chicago. They all seemed to
heave great big sigh of relief
at the same time. The boys were i'm
mediately placed in the county jail.
