ELECTRIC ROAD REPORT
Vast Sums said to Have Been Diverted
from Proper Channels and Large
Amount DIssIpated by Selling of
Bonds Too Low-Afairs to Be
Probed to The Bottom.

Chicago. ILL.,, Oct. 30.-Ten million
dollars in round figures out of a total
of $4,000, 900 put up by investors for
the bankrupt Chicago and Milwaukee
Electric Railway company has gone In
to somthing else besides construction,
according to the reports certified by
the accountants to the receivers ap-
pointed by Federal Judge Grosscup.
Some Of the Features.
The principal features Of the &C
countant's reports we're made public
today. The report shows that $s,454,-
900, including the floating debt, has
been spent in the construction Of the
entire road
Bonds outstandina.
Outstanding against this is a total
bond and certificate issue Of $3.50 o
900 and other debts amounting to
$2,169, 900, making a total debt Of $18,
1853, 900.
Promoters Have Facts.
The difference between this and the
amount actually expended on the road
is $9.715,O 900. Only a hazy idea OF the
ultimate disposition of the latter sum
exists outside the circle Of promoters
of the company.
Bonds Sold Too Low.

About the Standard Oil Again.

Chicago, Oct. 30.-A dispatch from

aid says: John D. Rockefeller gave
out al interview today telling why
he intended to vote for Taft. He said:

The election Of Taft, will, l believe,
make for law and order and the sta
bility OF. business. The question OF
candidates seems to me a peculiarly
personal one in this campaign, as
leading orators on both sides have not
succeeded in drawing the party lines
as based pm the platform, with any
great c~learness.

Bryan. Too.


Napoleon, O., Oct. 3O.-Bryan gave
out a statement here today comment
ing upon the declaration of Rockefel-
Ter yesterday that he would vote for
Taft. Bryan said he was not surprised
at the declaration. as the Standard
Oil and the republican party have
been SO closely related that many of
their interests are identical.
Taft Keeps Quiet.
Taft has been making speeches for
many weeks and has not dwelt upon
the iniquities of the trusts or pointed
out the injustices done the American
people by them. No wonder Rookie
Teller is for Taft,
Great Law Maker.
Bryan denied that Taft's election
would make for law and order. The
Standard is the greatest law-breaker
in the United States and Rockefeller
is for Taft because he does not want
the law enforced.
What Rockefeller Meant.
He said that when Rockefeller said
that Taft's election would make for
the stability of business, he must re-
fer to the trust business.
Admits Taft's Election.
Think Taft's election will enable
the trusts to get a tighter strange
grasp upon the American people and
put their extortien pom a more per-
manent foundation" declared Bryan.

opponents to the socialistic program.
one evidently intended to start a dis

well known as of strong and original

Socialism in Reality.
The address of Dean Arnold Bode
was most interesting and was follow
Ell very closely by the audience, espe-
cially that part which related to the
actual working out of socialistic IDEAS
in Australia under the name of the
labor party. In speaking of New Yea
land especially, Dean Bode said that
the government owns the coal mines
and operates them, owns the railroads
and operates them. formerly at a loss,
but now at a profit sufficient to pay
off in a generation the cost of their
construction, and this in spite of the
fact that men in search of work are

Duties of Police.
The police of New Zealand have
many duties, but the last of them is
to arrest any person, one of their chief
duties being to furnish the government
with information as to where men can

DEATH CAME

IN DISCHARGE OF DUTY IN
THE YARDS HERE TODAY.

Limited and Body Hurled Seventy
Feet-Was STOPPING to Tighten
Nut at Frog in the Track.

Charles Hoppe, for the last thirty
twelve years a track walker for the
Union Pacific here, was struck by the
locomotive of train No. Z about 1855
this morning, in the southern end OF
the yards, and instantly killed. Word
was sent to Coroner Ballard and he
took possession of the body, delivering
it to Undertaken Stryker, it being now
at the Third street morgue. The coro-
ner summoned a jury consisting o.
O. S. Greenbaum, Joseph Lohlein and
George Z. Powell, who viewed the re
mains at Stryker's and the inquest will
be held tomorrow: Mr.. Hoppe had q
fracture of the skull at the base and
his neck was broken. Death came
evidently at the moment the pilot beam
of the huge engine struck him.
Struck by Pilot Beam.
Mr.. Hoppe delivered train mail TIC
certain railroad offices, and then pro
ceeded with his duties as a track
walker. He had reached the switch
leading from the westbound main line
to the soda lake track, and is presumed
to have been STOPPING over to look al
the frog at that point. there being a
nut loose on a bolt. He was probably
standing in the middle of the soda
lake track, with his back to the ap
preaching train, when the pilot beam
| struck him In the back Of the head. He
was hurled through the air, alightins
t~wenty-nine feet from the frog, and
then rolled for perhaps forty feet, his
body stopping on the side Of an EN-
tankment just below the switch. A
passerby saw the body and notified
Tom Harding, the lamp tender, who
in turn notified Agent Cady. The body
was lying with the head toward the
track, on the side of the embankment
hardly visible from the railroad track
The wagon road runs near the EN-
bankment and the body was plainly
visible to the passerby. The body was
still warm when Coroner Ballard
