The Earst Told the Tale.

A certain Greek adventurer some
years ago undertook to palm off upon
the public some false copies of the
gospel manuscripts. Many learned men
were deceived, but not DR.. Coke, libra
rian of the Bodleian library at oxford.
How he detected the fraud was related
in his own words in the Spectator:
l never really opened the book, but
held it in my hand and took one page
of it between my finger and thumb
while | listened to the rascal's account
of how he found this most interesting
antiquity. At the end of three or four
minutes l handed it back 10 him with
the short comment, Nineteenth CEN
fury paper, my dear sir" and he took
it away in a hurry and did not come
again. Yes, / was pleased. but / have
handled several ancient manuscripts
in my time. and know the feel of old
paper.

A CHANGE IS MADE
IN TRACTION LINE
Dayton and Western Passes
To Hands of the Ohio
Electric Company.
PLAN IS A CLEVER ONE.
INTERESTS USED THIS PLAN IN
AN EFFORT TO oUTWIT RICH
MOND.

Local employees Of the Dayton <
Western traction company were mott
fled Sunday morning that at midnight
Saturday the road PASSED into the
company. which is a syndicate into
which all the electric roads In Ohio
have been merged.
There were two branches of the Day
ton and Western as follows: the Day
ton & Western traction company of
Ohio and the Dayton & Western trac-
fion company of Indiana, incorporated
respectively under the laws of Ohio and
Indiana. Some time ago these two
branches were merged into the Indiana,
Columbus and Eastern traction COM
pany, and it is understood this was the
title of the road at the time it was
merged into the Ohio Electric Railway
company.
Whether the MCGOWAN interests,
which control the Terre Haute. Indian
apolis & Eastern, which operates DIS
far east as the corner of Eighth and
Main streets, Richmond, is affiliated
with the Ohio merger, is not known. Il
is understood. however, that the city
authorities by this latest move in the
complicated traction game must deal
with the Ohio Electric company in its
fight to have the branch road of this
system operating between Dayton and
Richmond apply for a franchise to OPP
crate interurban cars over Main street.
Is Ii Dodge Game?
1t is the general suppostion that the
MCGOWAN interests, which controlled
the Indiana. Columbus q Eastern, alias
the Dayton & Western, transferred the
road to the Schoepf Ohio syndicate so
that the city of Richmond in it's fight
against the MCGOWAN syndicate to
compel that big corporation to accept
the terms laid down by the city in re-
CARDS to transfers between interurban
and local cars. the operation of freight
cars, etc, would be Obliged to change
its plan of campaign. 1t will be re-
membered that at the last council
meeting the council. in final effort to
force the MCGOWAN interests to COM
ply with the city's demands, passed an
ordinance to the effect that no interur-
ban cars should be operated on Main
street from Eighth street to the east
corporation line. This ordinance goes
into effect Friday of this week What
action the Ohio Electric railway COM
pany will take in regards to this ordi-
nance is awaited with interest. 1t is
the general opinion that the MCGOWAN
interests have shifted hot proposition
onto the hands of the Ohio syndicate.

BRAVERY OF TELE-
PHONE GIRLS GREAT
They Managed to Save Lives
Of Two Strikebreakers
At SteubenvilIe.
WERE FEARFULuY BEATEN.
DELAY OCCASIONED BY THE
GIRLS BRAVERY GAVE THE PO-
LICE OPPORTUNITY TO ARRIVE
ON THE SCENE.

Steubenville. O., Sept. ga Labor
Day riot that probably would have
ended in murder had it not been for
the bravery of two young telephone
girls, took place here Monday after
noon. The victims of the fury of the
mob are:
Joseph HARRISON, skull fractured and
body badly bruised.
John Hatton, bruised and cut; Sc
verely injured.
Miss Mary Magee, beaten, bruised
and cut about the head.
Miss Eula Rookie, beaten and in
jured on the body and arms.
HARRISON and Hatton are two young
men from st. Louis, Mo, who have
been working in the mines about here,
at which there is a general strike.
They spent a portion of the morning
in the offices of the National Tele-
phone Company, where, it is said they
were telephoning for instructions to
go to work. They left the building
for lunch at noon, and as they stepped
out to the street were set upon by a
crowd of fully 80 men. In an instant
they were being kicked, cuffed and
beaten.
Mortified at the sight they saw as
they gazed down from the windows of
the City Telephone Exchange, seeing
no sign of a policeman and believing
that the two men would be killed, both
Miss Magee and Miss Rookie, without
a thought of their own welfare and
safety, rushed down and into the
thickest of the mob, pushing and SHOW
ing frantically to reach the PROSTATE
men, to whom the young women We're
as perfect strangers. Bent only on
forestalling what they believed would
be murder. Miss Magee and Miss
Rookie threw themselves on the pros
trate men, covering the heads of the
men with their hands and receiving on
their own frail bodies the kicks and
blows of the mob. One frenzied man,
who was welding piece of iron,
struck Miss Magee on the head. An
other piece of iron, probably the same
one, almost broke Miss Rockies arm.
The bravery of the young women
brought about a temporary halt in the
of the mob, which did not
quite relish venting brute anger on
two innocent girls. In this instant of
let-up in the assault police reached the
scene and rescued HARRISON and Hat
tom Only one arrest was made. Har-
bison was removed to the Mayors Of
flee and later to Gill Hospital where it
was found that his injuries consisted
chiefly of fractured skull.

Hermanski's Saloon Getting Famous

]. Hermanskis saloon at SS45 Es-
canada avenue figured in police court
annals again this morning. Herman
ski Is the man whose dog is the most
widely known canine in South Chica-
go, its life history being a matter of
record in the municipal court. The
dog was stolen from Hermanski's sa-
loon a few weeks age, and returned
the next day, and Hermanski had half
the population of South Chicago in
court to establish his title to the
brute. Last night Nick Worschick
blew into the saloon and had several
drinks and on Hermanski demanding
payment he flew into a rage and de-
molshed about $40 worth of glassware.
Worschick was taken to the police
station to cool off and placed in the
cell where Carl Anderson committed
suicide shortly before. The fear of a
visit from Andersons ghost sobered
him, and this morning he was dis
charged from custody on signing the
pledge.
