,ons ". KENNEDY FOUND IN PRISON

Stanton, Va, Jan. l9--John W
Kennedy, convicted train wrecker
and murderer, who escaped from
Augusta county Jail here March 7,
1904, lust four days before he was
to be hanged for wrecking Nor
folk and Western passenger train
in 1902, near Greenville causing the
death of one passenger, has been
located in the State penitentiary of
West Virginia, at Moundsville,
where he is going under the name
Of Vastella. At least that is the
conclusion of the officers of the law
here. A detective sent newspa-
per clipping here containing a cut
Of Vastella, who confessed to being
one Of the murderers of Ferguson,
the mine paymaster, in Pennsyl-
vania, who was murdered and rob-
bed some years ago.
The cut is a picture OF Kennedy,
apparently in the same clothes he
wore VOL when he escaped jail here ex-
cent the hat, which, however, is
worn back on the head, just as
Kennedy wore his hat. Everybody
here who knew Kennedy and has
seen the cut identified it at once as
the picture of Kennedy.
The Norfolk and Western has a
reward of 81 900 standing for Ken
nedy's recapture. Steps will be
taken at once to ascertain whether
Vastella is Kennedy, so as torecov-
or him when his term of imprison-
ment at Moundsyille expires next
November.

LARGER HOSPITAL

Catawba, Va, Jan. 1.-The &C
ton of the General Assembly re-
garding the State tuberculosis San
atorium is being awaited here with
great interest. The patients and
the officials of the Sanatorium and
the people of this section are hop
ing that funds will be available
during the next few months to en-
large the institution and to increase
it's power to save the hundreds OF
Virginia citizens now dying from
consumption. ,
Since its opening here last July,
the State tuberculosis Sanatorlum
has accomplished wonders, IN the
Judgment of those best in a posi-
ton to know the facts. A number
Of those that came here i'll have al
ready returned to their homes cured
or so greatly improved that they
can take up their usual work; The
thirty-fve patients now at CataW-
ba are doing well, and practically
all of them will soon be able to re,
turn to their homes, So interested
are these patients in future a pro,
priations for the Sanatorium, ano
SO confident are they that the
States youngest hospital will save
many lives, that they are plannlnE
to petition the Assembly for en-
Ilargement of the present plant;
If the Legislature makes liberia
appropriations for the Sanato 2, ~!
it is expected that new building
be erected to accommodate at leas
, 100 more patients. This will ena
BILE the State to treat about 5O
consumptives a year.

A SERVICE SCANDAL
Court Martial Of Lieut.. Col.
Ames Has Caused a Stir

IS REDUCED II NUMBERS

Manila, July 29.-Thecourt martial
Manila, Puly 29.-The court mortal
come to an end. 1t was learned today
that Colonel Ames has been reduced
twelve numbers, but left in command
OF his regiment, the 18th infantry in
the temporary absence of his imme-
diate superior. Col. Bowen. The out
come OF the case has further divided

conduct unbecoming an officer and
prejudicial to military discipline was
the outcome OF the suicide of Lieut.

house at Fort Mckinley, on March II
last. At the time Mrs. Janney was
also in the Ames house. She had
quarreled with her husband over heI

And Complaints Against Of

Be Amended.
MAY ASK MORE DAMAGES
CENTRAL GRAFT CASE TELL OF
OPERATIONS THAT STARTLED
PRoBERs.
(American News Service.)


Chicago, July 29.-Studying the
amazing testimony brought forth
from men on the inside of the gigan-
tic car repair swindle. Illinois Central
officials today are seriously consider
ing amending the complaints against
the grating corporations so as to
demand a much larger sum than ST.
100000. the early estimate of the
amount the railroad company lost
through collusion OF some of it's own
high officials and officials of the car
repair companies.
With complacency that might
have drawn credit to a man who had
exposed this immense graft, Frank
w. Belmont. who as chief clerk of the
Memphis car company made out most
of the padded bills told Master in
Chancery Roswell B. Mason of stand
ing orders to raise all bills Ito the
limit
Another witness who was not in
on the graft" Bennett Richard Sims
a bookkeeper. told of keeping a separ'
ate set of books giving a true &C
count of work done for the Illinois
Central. This damaging evidence is
now in the possession CT the Illinois
Central and is expected to figure
prominently before the sensational
case is concluded.
Henry c. Ostermann, head Of tht
Memphis Car company has not thus
far appeared at the hearings. 1t Is
expected he will be subpoenaed and
questioned under oath. Testimony
showed that the former conductor ol
the Illinois Central railroad had built
up a grating organization which PAID
$43, $50 on capital stock of s1O.500 the
first year Of its existence. This repre-
sents a profit Of more than 400 per
cent.
1t is but slight indication of the
real graft which found its way direc
to the pockets Of railroad and car re
pair officials from the padding o
bills from the rehabilitation of Illinoi!
Central rolling stock.
