Chicago, June 7.-Double track con-
struction on the Union Pacific has
been undertaken this year on a scale
exceeding anything attempted before
In the west. To the 175 miles of
double track in operation between
Omaha and Green River, Wyo., will
be added nearly 200 miles of second
track now under construction.
The vast undertaking known as the
Lane Cutoff between South Omaha
and Lane, Neb., although only II
feature OF the Union Pacific improve
ment program now under way. This
line necessitates 5000, 900 cubic yards
Of roadbed excavation and calls for
fills of from 100000 to 100000 cubic
yards.
The cuts are Of equally huge pro-
portions. The largest is mile long
with an extreme depth OF 81 feet.
Two-thirds of the grading is finished
and the whole undertaking will be
completed this year. The cutoff saves
nearly nine miles over the old main
line by way of South Omaha and Gill
more.
From Lane to Valley double track
ing was completed late last year.
This fall will see the completion Of
another big stretch of double track
nearly so miles in length, from VAL
ley to Benton. The next big stretches
OF double tracking are between Sill
yer Creek and Lockwood, a distance
Of 3S miles, Aida to Buda, Neb., 20
miles. and Rawlins to Wamsutter,
Wyo., Al miles. By the end of 1907
the Union Pacific will have a con-
tinuous double track in operation
from Council Bluffs to Watson's
Ranch near Kearney, a stretch of 1874
miles.
When all these improvements are
completed together with others under
way west Of Ogden, it is believed that
with their Omaha and Chicago con-
nections the Union and Southern Pa
cific can still further reduce the time
from ocean to ocean by possibly ~
hours. or az much as this route has
already reduced the running time from
Pacific to Atlantic in the last eight
years.

New York Police Have Great
Trouble Over Frantic
Foreign MObs
Greek Kisses Young Girl Who
Screams and People Cry
For His Blood
Police Have Fierce Fight II
Save Man From Be-
ing Hanged

New York, Aug. 6-More of what
have come to be seriously known at
police headquarters and near"
crimes against girls were followed
by nearer lynchings today. Out of
score of complaints that reached
the police, half a dozen demanded
serious attention. Whether the num-
Der is extraordinary is disputed, but
certain it is that never before has
mob vengeance $50 frequently attend
ed attacks upon children. - + a:
Led by. woman who alternately
in Italian and broken English, cried
"avenge my daughter" a reckless
crowd of z, 900 persons tonightzstorm-
ed four street car barns of the Metro
politan Street Railway Co., where a
policeman had sought refuge with a
seriously pummelled prisoner.
Paul Sorgerato, a Greek peddlar,
80 years of age, had made mistake,
so it is charged of kissing Grace
Josco, an italian girl of eleven years.
A shrill cry from the girl and an i'm
passioned appeal by the mother, put
the foreigners of the neighborhood in
rage and as the Greek took to his
heels, the crowd pursued.
When a block had been covered
Sorgerato stumbled and fell and the
mob was upon him. Kicked senseless
the Greek, a powerful man, neverthe-
less gained his feet only to be knocked
down again. By this time some one
had /snatched a rope from the window
of a grocery store and the rioters at
tempted to put the moose over the
offenders head Only the over-eager-
ness of each rioter to have a hand in
the lassoing saved the peddlar's neck.
During the confusion a policeman ar
rived and made his way to the en-
dangered man. For a moment the
crowd fell back and within that time
the officer had dragged his man to the
nearby car barn.
Concealing his prisoner in a car the
officer waited for assistance while the
rioters threw themselves against the
doors in an effort to force an entrance.
The police reserves stood off the mob
while the Greek was hustled into a
patrol wagon.
Through a crowd that cried Kill
him, lynch him." the police fought
their awy to the nearest station house
Sorgerato was in, bad shape, but it
was thought inadvisable to attempt
his removal to a hospital during the
excitement.

Dayton, Ohio, Aug. 6-With the
death today of Abe Cohen, who was
believed to have been shot by the
assailant of Anna Markawitz here
Sunday night, the crime becomes a
double murder and the mystery is
farther than ever from solution.
Cohen died today without regain
ing consciousness sufficiently to give
a coherent statement concerning the
crime. Neither was he able to iden'
tify the Markawitz brothers as his
assailants. The latter admitted to
the authorities their hatred of Cohen
but protested their innocence. Har.
ry Markawitz persisted in the de.
Charlton that his sister Bertha, who
was in the company of Cohen and
Anna Markawitz when the assault
was committed, could throw light
on the subject if she would.
