CONTROL OF RAILWAYS.

Germany bazed the way for government ownership of
railways by first buying shares of stock and securing

Indianapolis. May 31.-President
Roosevelt yesterday delivered the
principal address at the unwilling of
monument to General Henry w.
Lawton. The speech was devoted to
a discussion of railway problems and
incidentally paid warm tribute to
Oliver Morton, the war governor of
Indiana. The president arrived at
1O:4S a. M, from Canton. Ohio, accom-
panied by Vice President Fairbanks
and was driven to the Fairbanks home
where luncheon was served, after
which he was escorted to the court
house square by three battalions and
battery of United States troops, thir-
teen companies OF the G.. A. R, and
ether organizations. The parade route
of two miles was lined with cheering
masses of people
Following the ceremonies Vice Pres
ident Fairbanks addressed the crowd
briefly. He said:
Fellow citizens, can say but a
word. l wish to express to the presi-
dent of the United States that which
| know is in the hearts of all Of you,
and that is thanks for the admirable
address he has just delivered here.
He came into the state greeted by
thousands of people at the state line.
From Union City until he reached
indianapolis. he was met with the
loud acclaim of our citizens. AS he
leaves us after this crowning event
of an eventful day, he will carry with
him the assurance that the great citi-
zenship of Indiana is loyal to the men,
ory to those who made illustrious the
years from 1861 to 1865 and that the
people of Indiana are for cleanliness
in civil strife and honesty in public
spirit. My friends 1 thank and bid
you good night"
At the conclusion of the exercises
the president and vice president were
driven to Crown Hill cemetery where
the president placed On the grave of
former President Benjamin Harrison
wreath of galanx leaves and lilies
of the valley which he brought from
Washington.
The president was crested with
storm of applause by the waiting
thousands which packed the streets
for blocks from the court house SQUARE
on which the Lawton monument stands
and where the addresses were deliver
ed. It seemed the ilazzahs sound
ed like the cheers of the victorious
army to the general who had led it
to a glorious victory.
Presidents Speech.
The president spoke in part as fol-
lows:
The men of the generation which
fought the civil war had their great
tasks to perform. They met them as
strong men should have met them.
They did them, and we. their chill
dren, profit by their mighty deeds.
But no generation can ever plead the
great deeds of it's predecessors as an
excuse for failing to perform it's own
duties. Our duties are those of peace
and not of war. Nevertheless they
are OF the utmost Importance; of inn
portance to ourselves. and of still
greater Importance to the children
who in few years will take our
places as the men and women of this
republic. If we wish to show our

Lansing, Mich, May 31.-President
Roosevelt's train arrived at 10 o'clock
this morning. Perhaps nine stops in
all were made in the run of something
over two hours from Hillsdale to
Lansing. The president always ap-
peared on the platform of his car and
made his auditors little speech. He
told them how glad he was to see and
be among them, and spoke in compli-
mentary terms of the state of Michi-
gan and said he was sure to be
better American for having visited the
state. He was particularly feIicious
in his remarks to the veterans whom
he spied among the crowds that
pressed about his car, and likewise to
the fathers and mothers who had gath
cred around with their children. At
one point the president expressed his
regrets that he could not remain in
the state longer. Some one in the
crowd expressed the hope that he
might remain at the head of the gov-
ernment for another term. The presi-
dent smiled pleasantly in return for
the compliment. At several places
along the route salutes were fired and
the college boys at Hillsdale gave the
college yell in the presidents honor
as his train pulled out of the depot.
The presidents train arrived at the
Lake Shore depot located on the river
front about fifty feet below the level
of Michigan avenue and the immense
crowd was kept back by the solid line
of militia and cavalry which extended
for block distant. The president
was driven to the state capitol where
he held reception in the executive
parlors and later made brief speech
from the balcony to fully 10000 per-
sons gathered there. He then went
to the house OF representatives hall
to meet the members of the legisla-
ture after which he went to luncheon
at the residence of President Snyder
of the agricultural college. At 2
o'clock he made his formal address
from platform erected on the cam
nus.

ALLEGED KIDNAPPING.
Man Charged With Crime is Released
on His Own RecOgnizance.

Fargo, May s1.-Ed Hill of Tower
City, charged with being implicated
in the kidnapping of the 9-year-old boy
of G. R. Stowell of that place, was re-
leased by Judge Miller on his own re-
cognizance, he having promised to APP
pear in court whenever requested to
do so. Hans Yeager, who resides in
Minnesota. is charged with the kid
mapping of the boy some time ago, but
tate's Attorney Barnett is undecided
as to whether he will ask for extra
dition papers, not believing that Gov
ernor johnson will honor them.
The history Of the case is that G. R.
Stowell and his wife separated in st.
Paul three years ago and she had the
three children placed in the Owatonna
orphan asylum in Minnesota. AS soon
as the father heard Of this he sue
ceeded in gathering the children about
him and took them to Tower City,
where he sent them to the public
schools and was caring and providing
for them nicely.
About two weeks ago a man in a
hack, supposed to be Hans Yeager, an
agent of the orphanage, drove up to
the public school. which the 9-year-old
son of Mr.. Stowell was attending, and
under the pretext of taking the boy to
see an uncle. succeeded in getting him
into the cab or hack, and the driver,
who was Ed Hill. mentioned above,
took the man and the boy to the sta
ton at Buffalo, where they took the
train for Minnesota.

Revived By Action of 1llegiti-

A:.ociated Press Cable to The Evening
Madrid, May 31.-The supreme court
has declared itself competent to try
the suit of the heirs of Elena SAM
the singer against the heirs of King
Alphonso XII.
Elena Sanz was beautiful Bohem-
ian opera singer with whom Alphonso
KILL, father of the present king of
Spain became enamored She bore
the king two sons. the eldest of whom
she named Alphonso. The singer was
banished from Spain after the death
Of Alphonso XIII. and died poor and
friendless in Paris in 1899 though the
king is said to have fully provided for
her In his will, leaving her an ample
annuity which was to revert after her
death to her children, who were min
ors, to be paid to them until they be-
came of age. The terms of the will,
however, appear not to have been car
rled out and the eldest son of Nine.
Sanz secured the services of Senor
Mongues, a we'll known republican
lawyer and member of the chamber
OF deputies and is said to be determined
to have his claim legally established
at any cost.
The case was taken before the civil
courts whose competency was ques-
toned and eventually was referred to
the supreme court. The question of
the competency of the latter tribunal
was then brought forward, with the
result that it has declared itself COM
petent to try the case.
The crown lawyars ara s.id to b,,.
done everything possible to arrange
a settlement out OF court and at one
time an arrangement appeared to have
been reached, but it now appears that
all the details of the scandal may be
made public, which is said to involve
the revelation of a number OF remark
able details affecting the later years
of the life of Alphonso XII.

.B[0ME PEOPLE SAY
ALL BIDS MAY Be
REJECTED
Actual Figures Show Creosote
Petition Has Half of Own.
ers on Same,

The city aldermen and citizens will
gather at the council chambers this
evening for what is expected to be the
most interesting and exciting session
of the year, the letting of the paving
contract being the matter around
! which the interest centers.
The creosote petitions have been
kept in circulation today and the sig
natures are piling up.
However the Blome people are ac-
tive and although not altogether opti-
mistic they intend to wage war to the
death. Upon what grounds they base
their hopes is not known but there
are rumors of the .obdurate members
of the council holding the matter up
for year by rejecting all the bids.
These rumors are merely idle gossip
on the street but they might easily
be carried out to bold reality.
Actual figures show that the creo-
sote people have more than the requi-
site number of petition signers. City
Engineer Smith figures that there are
some 100000 square feet that will
be directly benefited and directly as
sessed for the paving. Leaving out
three or four small Withdrawals,
something over $4,000 square feet are
included in the petition for creosote
blocks.
The city engineer also figures that
there are some 100000 square feet
which might be assessed for secondary
benefits, being property which will not
be abutted by the new paving. OF
these 100000 square feet about 175,-
900 are signed for creosote blocks, this
without taking into consideration the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
which have already signed for direct
ly abutting property.

London, May s1.-The congress of
Russian social democrats, which has
been In session in this city since May
13, decided today by a majority OF So
votes definitely to sever all relations
with the constitutional democrats and
other liberal parties in Russia. Thus
the extremists regain the control of
the. party which they lost year ago.
This decision was reported after
days of wrangling and impassioned
discussion and constant narrow divi-
sions on the clauses of the resolutions.
The majorities and minorities, both
put forward resolutions, but all at
tempts to reach. a common ground
were unavailable The matorities,
conscious of the strength of their al
lance with the Poles and the Let's,
refused all compromise. Eventually
the congress decided by majority Of
nine to. consider a resolution of the
matorities declaring that the. constl-
tutional democrats had completely
turned their backs upon the revolu-
tton, that they openly supported the
government in a plan to bring about
an anti-democratic constitution based
on property qualifications, and that
their aims do not go beyond the con-
stitution of monarchy safeguarded
by a police regime, the two chamber
system, and the standing army against
the attacks of the proletariat.
Social democracy, the resolution
continues, must oppose the extension
of these parties of constitutional IL

clares that. is Is necessary to wean
the populist and the loyal parties from
the influence of the liberals and COM
pei them to choose between the policy
of the constitutional democrats and
the Black Hundreds, and that Of the
social democrats. This resolution was
adopted by 159 votes to 106, many OF
the delegation abstaining from voting.

serving the Mckinley home intact.
Ihe idea Is to make second Mount

paintings and statuary of the Nc

those of the Washingtons. Only tenta-

a definite movement to keep the Nc
Nnley home and its contents as they
are today as memorial of the home
life OF the departed president and wife
and place where pilgrims may gath
er, may take shape soon. The city
may purchase the property or it may
be gift from relatives and friends.
Justice William r. Day is anxious
to have the home preserved.

ated," said Judge Day today. MANY
will come to see the monument. They
will want also to see the home in
which the late president lived and
worked. In fact, the Mckinley home
is the most suggestive thing connected
with the life of Mckinley. We have
in mind also the fact that the preser-
walton of the home at this time pres
ents much less difficulty than the at
tempt after years have passed"
For the first time since the burial of
the Mckinley children, their graves
were decorated today by other hands
than those of their mother. More than
twenty thousand persons viewed the
floral pieces arranged in front of the
vine covered vault in Westlawn ceme-
terry which now holds the caskets of

Chicago, May 31.-Commencing June
9 the running time of passenger
trains on the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy railroad between Denver,
Omaha and Chicago, and Chicago and
Kansas City and Denver, will be made
materially slower. Under the new
schedule the increase in the running
time of the Denver limited between
Chicago and Denver is four hours and
forty-five minutes.
Corresponding changes in the run
ming time of passenger trains are ex-
pected from other western roads. The
recent action of the legislatures of
Iowa, Nebraska and Illinois in pass
ing two-cent fare bills is assigned as
the reason for increased running time
in passenger train service.
