Chicago, April 16.-Ten hours be-

average speed OF IS miles an hour is
the plan Of incorporators Of the Chlca-
go ana New York Electric Air Line
railroad.
The scheme appears to be far IN the

II Is asserted that some of the right
Of way has been secured" but the pro-
jectors decline to say how much. They
hope to have the road in operation In
five years,
AS the name implies, the proposed
road Will sacrifice everything for speed
and distance According to the state
ment of jonathan d. Price, president
OF the cooperative Construction COM
pany, which was organized to build
the road, the line will be 142 miles long,
or 200 miles shorter than any steam
road now conuectir@ the two cities,
part of the line already has been sur
Veyed The first section Of the road
to be built, according to the promoters,
Wlll be out of Chicago, and the work on
this. one of the incorporators said last
night, will begin soon.
In choosing the route, no attention
is paid TO whether the line runs through
large cities or not. As now surveyed
the road will be eight miles south Of
South Bend, Ind. and at that point it
is proposed to build a station and run
a spur into the city, The same plan
will he followed where the road passes
near any other city. These spur lines
will be connected with the street rail-
way systems in each town and II is
proposed to run freight trains al night.
The details as to the kind Of cars to
be used has not been thoroughly
worked out, according to +. H. Wood
a lawyer living In Oak Park, ILL.,, who
is one of the incorporators He suggest
ed, however, that the Germans have
attained great success In building third
rail roads. such as II Is proposed this
one Will be, and he mentioned the fact
that on "a specially constructed road bed
electric trains there have been operated
at l3l miles an hour.

Springfield. Mo, April l.-"Quiet pre-
vailed here today aud the Indications
We're that the race trouble was over.
The presence of the troops has had the
effect Of bringing the people to full
realization Of the situation. The last
GOV, Folk arrived early today. and
six companies now patrol the streets.
With the first appearance Of the sol.
dlers last evening there came revul-
sion OF sentiment Before midnight
decided reaction had set In, and people
began to condemn the action Of the mob
that iynched the three negroes and
burned their bodies Today this feel
ing gained strength especially when It
became thoroughly appreciated that
Maybel Edmondson. the white domestic,
had declared positively that Duncan
and Copeland, two OF the negroes lynch
ed, were not her assailants. This was
also heightened by the arrival from
Jefferson City Of an assistant attorney
general sent by Gov Folk to aid the
county officials in ferretng out and
prosecuting the members OF the mob,
the names Of many Of whom are known.
Judge Lincoln Of the criminal court
today ordered special grand jury con-
vened on Tuesday morning. The jury
will be instructed to make thorough
investigation of the lynching and the
other acts of the mob, and to ndlct all
the leaders that may be apprehended.
The better class of citizens were strong
today IN their demands that the riot
ers be punished to the full extent of the
law and every effort will be made TO
secure convictions.
Under the direction Of Capt. Willis
OF Company H., of Nevada Mo, who
is the officer Of the day the soldiers
pitched their tents today. Outposts
were maintained during the night on
all the principal streets, leading to the
jail. No disturbance of any kind was
reported Today the negroes who fed
to the woods returned to their homes
and many others who had hidden
themselves in their homes made bold
to appear upon the streets. Crowds of
people today still walked the streets
passing from point to point Of inter-
est but no attempt was made to in
terfere with the negroes.
