LUCKY MAKES PLANS
For His Own Comfort During
Warm Weather.
Railoads are Fighting Over Who
First Placed Steel Cars in
Service-Local Happenings.

! .hi h' 'hSSt i<uthy, tldiH p"BSa6N-
man of the Erie, has some ideas of
his own about how n railroad hotel
should be equipped In order to
properly accommodate all classes OF
railroad customers. Consequently,
early this morning, he was seen to
shoulder pick and shovel and de-
|liberately leave the hotel, and from
the cynical expression beaming from
his countenance, his fellows were
pretty well assured that Lucky was
up to something.
Might just as well have some
decent place to loaf in pleasant
weather remarked Lucky between
pants. as he hesitated a moment to
gaze into the eyes OF number Of
amused railroaders who had as
sembled. Lucky then explained the
meaning of the strenuous exercise.
He was manufacturing steps by
means of which a descent might
be made down the steep embank-
ment. directly east of the hotel. to a
soft grassy little lot which really
looked inviting.
And 1t is quite probable that when
Luckys plans are fully effected that
the name of the hotel will be chang
ed from Union Depot eating house"
to Railroad Park Hotel" Lucky
says that the park will be completed
In q few days and then 1t is said
that special dedication exercises
will be conducted, at which time
the promoter will be presented with

INDICTMENTS UNDER TES
Question Of Validity of Many InfOr-
nations In san Francisco
Before Court.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 2--The question
OF validity OF the many score CO Indictments
returned recently by the grand jury has
at last been submitted 70 the supreme court
Of California. Theodore v Haisey. the
outside man Of the Pacific Coast Telephons
company now on trial on a charge OF brib-
ing Supervisor Lonergsn. filed a petition
yesterday with the supreme court appealing
TO that body for g writ of prohibition re-
straining the superior court and Judge
Frank H. Dunno from trying his case.
A similar application is made for a writ
Of prohibition against Judge Carroll Cook
on behalf bf one OF the six car men indicted
June 2s by the grand Jury on the charge
Of felony alleged to have been committed
in a street car riot. This decision will
apply to all six eases.
The attorneys for the indicted officials Of
the United railways appeared in the cham
hers Of the supreme court yesterday after
the fling Of the Haley petition and an
nounced their intention Of fling similar
briefs
The petitioners In praying for the writ
rely largely upon the opinion given recently
by Judge Cook on a motion to quash the
indictments In the case of the strike rioters
In his opinion Judge Cook held that the
acts of the grand jury since the new grand
jury panel was drawn in February last is
null and void. Judge Cook refused at the
same time to set aside the indictments,
suggesting that the whole question be
passed up to the supreme court. This
question Is now before that body and the
indicted ones do not desire that their trials
proceed until a decision is rendered.

INTEREST IN CONNECTICUT
BattIeship BuiTt by Government Soon

NEW YORK. Aug. Unusual interest
attaches to the trial trip OF the battleship
Connecticut. which will be made over the
Rockland CMe.) course on August and 9.
Rear Admiral r. D. Evans will be aboard
the Connecticut during its speed test. The
fact that the Connecticut is the first bat
tIeshlp of the first class to be built by
the government instead Of by contractors
explains the exceptional public interest in
It. Naval men expected to obtain 'nforma-
tion from a comparison OF the Connecticut
with the Louisiana. The keels of both
ships were laid at the same time, the
former by the government at the Brooklyn
yard and the latter by contractors. The
Louisiana did all that was asked Of it. 1t

battleships of the first class that are in all
points equal to those built under the con-
tract system. The Connecticut VIII leave

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug 2-The H.

ton Of Secretary OF State Julian. for alleged
violation of senate bill No. Sc, effective
July + The action OF the secretary Of

ders issued by the United States court Of
the Fifth circuit, as this law is not among
those combatted by the railroads and not
included in any Of the litigation now pend
ing in the court Of Federal Judge Jones Of
the middle Alabama district.
The case upon which the revocation was
made out came from the circuit court OF
Talladega county, in the shape of a noti-
ncation from Clerk ]. D. McNeel that a
suit had been removed from the state court
10 the federal court. Secretary OF State
Julian investigated the law and found that
there was nothing else to do but mark the
license cancelled. as the action Of the stat

corporation issued in the state courts and
removed such suit from the state TO the
federal court the clerk of the court from

SIBLEY TACKLES PROBLEM
Complains at Washington About
Union Pacific Passenger Rate
in West Nebraska

WASHINGTON, Aug. Am attack was
made today on the Scent a mile passenger
rate of the UEion Pacific Railroad company
by Charles A. sibley, a resident Of Ne
brasha. Sibley's complaint was filed with
the Interstate Commerce commission and in
its nature is practically unique in the
history Of the commission
The complaint alleges that the Union Pa
cific railroad exacts q rate of 3 cents a
mile from interstate passengers, although
within the limits OF Nebraska II charges a
rate of only cents mile. He says he
travels from a point in western Nebraska
through a part OF Colorado, to another
point in Nebraska and is required to pay
the Scent rate because the railroad com
pany holds that Is interstate business.
This. he asserts, is a showing by the COM
pany of undue preference to intrastate pas
sengers and he asks the commission to
fix just maximum passenger rate, which
the company shall charge on interstate
business

BURIAL OF MISS MATTHEWS
Dead wOman's Sister Faints at Grave
Nurse Begs to Stay ON
Mound.

KANSAS CITY. Aug. 2-The body Of
Miss Laura Matthews. who died from
pistol wound at Colorado Springs, arrived
here today from the west and was buried
in Elmwood cemetery. At the grave the
womens sister Mrs. J. W. Marshall
tainted and was carried from the scene
by Charles A Coey Of Chicago, Miss
Mathews friend. Miss TiIlie Green, the
nurse who had attended Miss Matthews in
Colorado. wept bitterly during the service
and pleaded to be left at the mound when
others OF the party prepared to depart
1t was with difficulty that she was per-
suaded to return to the city.
The announcement Of Charles A. Coey Of
Chicago that he intends to come to Col
orado Springs and personally investigate
the tragic death of Miss Laura Matthews
has renewed public interest in the case.
While the authorities admit there are
many suspicious circumstances which were
not cleared up at the coroners inquest they
contend there was nothing adduced from
the testimony that would criminaIly impli-
cate any one.
When Mr. Cooley left Oyster Bay he said
the president had discussed with him in
general way the North Carolina rate
case.
The impression seems TO prevail IN
some quarters" said Mr.. Cooley, that the
president can do something in this case.
AS a matter of fact the only thing the
Department Of Justice can do is to see that
the process Of the federal court Is served
and that the orders Of the court are obeyed.
In this case there has been no difficulty
in serving the process and no disposition to
disobey the orders Of the court There is
nothing else the executive department Of
the government can do in the matter"
While Mr.. Cooley said he was not familiar
with the details of the case, 1t was his
opinion that IT would reach the United
States supreme court during the coming
fall term.

prevail at this meeting, is intended to en-
phasize this spirit The railroad interests

sentative men present to present their
views. and at the same time men OF pronii-
nence in the matter of railroad regulation
will also be on hand. 1t is intended, If
