WILL REDUCE SCHEDULE.
NEW CARS ARE TO BE USED IN
THE LIMITED SERViCE-FVE
MAY COME TO THIS DIVISION

The Terre Haute, Indianapolis and
Eastern traction company has ordered
ten new cars of the latest type. They
will be put into service on the various
divisions of the line within a short
time and it is probable that five will
be placed in service between Richmond
and Indianapolis, that the schedule
time between the two cities may be
diminished. The cars, according to
the statement of local traction man,
are much longer than those now run
ming between Richmond and Indian
apolis, being of the same size as those
operated by the Indianapolis and
Northwestern traction line out of In
dianapolis. These cars have been
seen by many Richmond people in the
Indianapolis traction terminal station
and are remembered by their graceful
length and fine furnishings. The new
cars for the local line will be sixty-two
feet long and will be equipped with
four seventy-five horse power motors.
and will have all modern impro,s
ments.
The cars now running between Rich.
mond and indianapolis, are of good
style and there is no cause for COM
plant. but the new cars will be placed
in limited service. it is understood.
The rolling stock of the t., H. l. & E.
is rapidly approaching a mark second
to none in the state. This cannot be
denied. even though the policy of the
road is not liked in Richmond and 9TH
erwise has been the source of much
trouble in recent months.

WARNER
CREATES A SENSATION
Declares That His Step-moth-
er Is NegreSS.
A WILL is IN QUESTION.

Clinton. ILL.,, July 24.-Hon. YES
pashfan Warner, United States COM
missioner of pensions, a former candi-
date for the republican nomination for
governor and one of the biggest poll
ticians in Illinois. declares that his
stepmother, Mrs. Isabelle Robinson
Warner, is a negress. This startling
declaration, made in the fight on the
will of the late John Warner, whose
estate has been appraised at s1,650,-
900, was made public here where
Judge Cochrane of the circuit court is
hearing the case.
The charge was as a bomb in the
midst of local society. People were
astounded. Not only does Vespashian
Warner charge that his stepmother
is of negro blood, but he goes so far
as to say that a taint of the blood
courses through the veins of his half
sisters, Mrs. Arabella Warner Bell and
Mrs. Minnie Warner Metler.
This startling charge of the commits
sioner of pensions was made in an
amendment answer to the widows Pc
tition, which was filed today.

Throughout the day Mr.. Richardson

he never committed. IN this connec-

put Neville out of the way. Neville

THE CIVIC MERGER.

Never was a wiser nor timelier thing
done in Astoria than the merging of
all her municipal agencies into one, big
responsible, active Chamber Of Com
merce. Everything is vitally propi
tious for just such a movement and
the day Is not far distant when the
ampiest proof will be al hand. OF her
foresight and its expediency. She will
now have hundreds of citizens en-
rolled in the task Of her commercial
development, where but a handful la
bored faithfully, and vainly: and, most
luckily, there are scores of vital and
valuable schemes Of development aris-
ing to engage the wit and wealth at
her command and to employ the best
capacities OF her new commercial
agency. There is not a Pacific coast
city from the Straits of Fuca TO the
Mexican line, that has more, or better,
lines of development than Astoria, and
1t is up to her TO make the most and
the best Of them; to claim her nat
ural share in the commerce Of the
coast, and prove, beyond question, the
immense value of her contiguity to the
sea, her spacious, safe and expeditions
harbor and the wonderful element of
despatch appertaining to the port. 1t
is altogether up to Astoria to assert
herself commercially, and her greatest
factor in this is to be her Chamber
Of Commerce, with a strong, represen-
tative membership; broad, liberal
minded, energetic leaders, and a skill
full, active, up-to-date manager, who,
knowing the situation thoroughly and
backed by the liberal, unfagging, ready
endorsement of the body, shall attend
to the livening details of development
as they arise, and force the city and
the port to the forefront of Pacific
commerce. The Astorian pledges it's
faithful and unfailing support to any
scheme and man and body that nour-
ishes these ambitions, and will give ac-
tive aid to every movement for it's
realization.

SAN FRANCISCO, VIA ASTORIA.

From out the nasty turmoil Of rail-
way revelations now disturbing the
peace of Pacific Coasters, there looms
the one cheerful proposition of a Hill
line from Astoria to San Francisco.
This has been dream with the coast
people for long, long years; it has
always been counted among the great
developing agencies of the Pacific slope,
1t is in Oregon. There Is a sleeping
empire between the Coast Range and
the sea; long, gigantic, resourceful
territory simply awaiting the galvanic
touch Of some master builder, to un-
fold its endless, prodigal wealth upon
the daring enterprise that shall quick
en- it. The living hope of it's consuma-
tion is bit brighter since the name
OF James J. Hill has been woven into
the warp of the dream, and If it Is to
be realized then Astoria's day is at
hand. Her people should take solemn
and serious cognizance Of the situa-
tioR and hold fast to the creed of her
destiny, allowing no word, nor act, of
hers, to bar or mar the splendid pro-
gram; but rather, to rise quickly and
intelligently to the promise of the hour
and do well and nightly the things
