COME.

| Indianapolis May &C. G. Urqu-
hart, real estate and tax agent for the
Pennsylvania lines, was before the
state tax board and suggested that th =
assessment fixed by the board last year
be allowed to stand. He said that the
gross and net earnings of I've Pitts
burg, Cincinnati. Chicago and st. Louis
railroad company and the Pittsburg,
FIT. Wayne and Chicago Railroad COM
pany, showed substantial increases for
| the last year. The gross earnings on
the various divisions of the Panhandle
in Indiana for the year increased Dis
follows over the previous year: Indian
apolis division II per cent; Richmond
division, "A; Logansport division II;
Louisville division, 90. Cambridge
City division, 1913; Madison division,
AS The increase in earnings for
the entire Panhandle system was as
follows: Gross, 1888 per cent; net, S.21
per cent.
On the FIT. Wayne Road the increase
in gross earnings was Hip per cent.
and in net earnings 1876 per cent.
I'VE do not come before this board
to make a poor mouth for our rail-
road" said Mr.. Urquhart I'VE are
satisfied with the present assessment.
In Ohio this year the state tax board
kept the assessment at last years fig
ures, and in West Virginia l was given
to understand that the same things
would be done there
Will Cause Shrinkage.
The enforcement of the 2-cent fare
law in Indiana will cost the Chicago &
Erie railroad. 100000 a year, accord
ing to w. o. Johnson, general counsel
for the road, who appeared before the
state tax board.
Mr.. johnson told the board that the
gross earnings of the road from pure
ly Indiana local business during the
year were $134 1864. The taxes paid
in Indiana We're $4,000, or 60 per
cent. of the total local earnings in In
diana. The road, he said, had never
made any money. Since the reorgani-
cation IN 1890 a deficit of s5.S36. 900
had been piled up.
Recent legislation in Indiana, he
said, would prove another burden to
the railroads. He cited the fuIl-crew
law and the sixteen-hour law as being
especially hurdensome, and said that
even the trainmen themselves were
teen-hour law. He said the trainmen
were holding meetings throughout the
state and that they would petition the
Indiana railroad commission not to en-
force this law.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-Within a

Six bifi tunnels under the rivers

One of these is open already,

Three more will be ready inside of

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 3.-Is
Connie Mack about to win his third
pennant?
Is the base ball major general to
come home on the bit with his tried
veterans and clever youngsters as
he did in 1902 and 1905?
Maybe not, but students of
dope" have expressed the belief
that the shrewd McGillicuddy will
lead the Athletics to the wire, and
nose out Chicago, Detroit and
Cleveland in the last few jumps, III
base balls most sensational race.
Mack's team began winning COIN
cident with the acquisition of jim
my Collins, the EXPLOSION manager.
Collins seems to have bolstereq up
the team, which has crawled from
a position In the second division TO
the front of the American lceguel in
surprising fashion.
With his pitchers working well,
his in and outfields delivering the
goods, and long season ut home,
there Is every reason to believe the
elongated manager will snatch Bis
third pennant for Philadelphia fans.

SPANISH SOLDIERS ON THE
JOB.

MADRID, Sept. 3.-Five hundred
spanish regulars, commanded by
Col. Arranez, one of the bravest
of1cers in King Alfonso's army,
have started to the mountains near
Seville and Malaga, to capture Don
P. Females, the king of modern
bandits.
For 10 years Females has held
southern Spain in terror. He and
his followers have become rich by
raiding the towns and villages and
preying upon rich travellers. After
many attempts to capture him, the
Spanish cortez has taken action
and the ministry of war has loaned
the helpless police a half regiment
of men.
Females, safe in his stronghold,
has sent word to the soldiers to
abandon the chase, which can only
end in their deaths.
Don p" is the idol of the rough
people of southern Spain. He has
100 henchmen, aristocratic brig
ands, who have been carefully Sc
lected for their bravery, and gen
tlemanly bearing He wants nc
cut threats about him. On one oc
casion a youth, who had murdered
an old woman for few dollars, ap
piled for place in his band. He
boosted of his crime, but the rob
ber-chief promptly seized him and
had him hanged.
The poor have never been mo-
Tested by Females. He preys only
on the rich and his charitable
works are widespread. Once a
poor widow, whose son was her
only support, applied to the bandit.
The boy had been condemned to
death for smuggling. Taking so of
his men, Females scattered them
through the town where the prison
er was confined. Then, entering
the governors residence alone, he
went directly to the room where
the family was dining, forced the
official to sign release for the
prisoner and, detailing two of his
followers who We're dressed as civil
guards, he sent them to the jail,
where they secured the prisoner.
Then the whole company made off.
An English novelist has drawn
on Females for his stories. The
brigand's personal escapes from
danger are numbered by the hun
dreds. 1t is stated that If the sol
diers, now operating against him,
fail to capture him the government
will try to come to terms and give
him a pension, If he will bring his
criminal work to an end.

ran laughing ard shouting into the

hands and pulled MIN outdoors.
Then Suka pointed down the
street at a boy approaching on
horseback. Both boys looked long
and studiously. 1t was the first time
they had ever seen such a curious
sight.
