tfendant's attorney said there were no
allegations in the indictment showing

ROSS ALLEGES THAT STONES
WERE NOT BORROWED.
GUARANTEED EXPENSES
Saloon Man Files Answer to Suit for
Ring and Stud Recently Commenced
by Philpott-Fake Wrestling Match
Instead of ReaA Eetate Deal.

Defendants answer was flied with
| the clerk of the district court yester
day in the suit of G. r. Philpott
against John Ross for the recovery 0!
diamond ring and shirt stud valued
at $3.50, which Philpott alleges he
loaned Ross, and which he says Ross
refuses to return.
Ross admits in his answer that
Philpott gave the ring and stud to
him, but denies that he did it through
a spirit of friendship or as matter of
accommodation. He also denies that
they were loaned him to wear until
Philpott should demand their return.
He alleges that Philpott induced
him to take a trip to Omaha, guaran-
teeing his expenses by putting up the
ring and stud, on the pretext that he
had a real estate deal which he
wished him to take part in. He says
that he took the trip to Omaha after
Philpott had put up the ring and stud
to guarantee payment of his expenses.
He further alleges that after he and
Philpott had arrived in Omaha, he
found that Philpott did not have real
estate deal on, as he had represented
to him, but had fake wrestling
match fixed up with which, he al.
leges he told him, he was going to
bunco a business man of Omaha out
of some money. He says that when
he learned of Philpott's plans and the
kind of a game he was seeking to get
him to take part in, he left on the
next train for this city and refused to
have any part, in the bunco game.
He prays Judgment that the plain
tiff take nothing by the action which
he commenced, and that he be made
to pay the costs incurred by the suit.

TIDE WATER ROAD PROVES A
LOSING VENTURE FOR
OIL MAGNATE.
STILL BORROWING
President of Standard Oil Company
Floats Loan Of s1o,ooo,ooo to COM
pIete the Railroad IN West Virginia
Railroad Men say It's Completion
ProbiematicaI.
(5y Associated Press.)

| New York, Sept. 19.--Reports have
been current on Wall street for some
time that IT.. II. Rogers of the Stand
ard Oil company has been heavily in.
terested in the TideWater railroad pro
ject in West Virginia and that he has
lost heacvily by the Investment. The
Evening Post says today that it can
be stated positively that Mr.. Rogers
incurred a personal obligation in the
Tidewater project to the amount of
$40,000,0OO. 1t says:
Confirmation was obtained In Wall
street today that H. H. Rogers was
heavily interested in the Tidewater
railway. According to stories circu-
lated, upwards of 40 per cent Of Mr.,
Rogers fortune has been involved in
TideWater investment. 1t was report
ed today that the personal obliga-
tion incurred amounts to $4,000 900
1t can be stated positively that the
sum is much larger than the amount
named, but the situation has been en-
tirely cleared up. In order to meet
the demands made upon him in con-
nection with the construction Of the
railroad, Mr.. Rogers was forced to dis
pose of a 1rage amount of investment
stock at a sacrifice. All during the
10. /.
decline in prices the president of the
Standard OIL company sold gilt edge
stocks, such as Standard Oil, Consol-
idated Gas, Union Pacific and ST.
Paul.
v Some five or six years ago, against
the advice of his friends, Mr. Rogers
started to build in West Virginia a
road which would parallel the Norfolk
& Western. His object was to carry
coal and lumber to tide water. The
line was to be 444 miles long. Only
1875 miles have been completed.
Only few months ago in order to
raise $1O,0O0,OOO for the Tidewater
road, Mr. Rogers gave his personal
note, secured by $2O,0OO.OOO first
mortgage bonds, s1O,oOOOOO stocks and
s18, 100000 dividend or interest paying
stock. These s per cent notes were
indorsed by Mr.. Rogers personally.
Railway officials who have watched
The construction of the road with in
tense interest from the beginning, say
that the project at this stage is more
Or less problematical. It is confident
" hoped, however, that with the sac
rifices already made in disposing Of
high priced securities, Mr. Rogers is
in position to gain his end and the
road reach final comple elton. X
It was learned six months ago that
he Standard Oil magnate and his as
sociates had bought all the available
coal land and lumber in West Vir-
sinia. These purchases amounted 20
thousands of acres and will supply the
ridewater road with traffic.

In national elections the republican
candidate has always. received ma

true Of local elections until six years
ago, when Mayor johnson made his
advent. In the last two campaigns
made by Johnson he materially in
creased the plurality which he gained
in the first struggle, six years ago,
and in his last race, two years ago,
he piled UP a plurality of nearly 12,-
OOO-several thousand greater than
the normal republican plurality. The
country as well as the city, as re-
suit Of the Johnson leadership, has
become nearly solidly democratic.
Delegates to today's convention ad-
mitted that in Congressman Burton
the republicans had put forward the
strongest possible candidate, although
they refused to admit the possibility
OF his defeating Johnson. Since Bur-
toms first election to congress, when
he defeated Johnson, he has been re-
turned biennially without opposition

functory opposition by the democrats.
Burton and Johnson are undoubtedly
the two strongest men in northern

atty will be battle Of giants.
