Against Stock Watering.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 26.-"Stock
watering and legislation against stock
watering have been talked about for
twenty years, and / am determined to
see if there is any virtue in legislation
on this subject" said Governor Mar
shall in a statement in regard to the
suit, instigated by him, which was
filed at Logansport, asking that the
charter of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway Company be revoked on the
ground that it had been obtained by
Misrepresentation
'"The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway
Company of Indiana, is mere farce"
continued the Governor, designed to
evade the railroad commission of In
diana and the State Board of Tax
Commissioners. The Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad Company of Virginia,
the foreign corporation arraigned in
our complaint as contemplating the
stock jobbing, and stock juggling, has
for $40,0O0,00O the property
of the Chicago, Cincinnati and Louis
vile Railroad Company, which it's
agents bought at receivers sale a
few weeks ago for s5,0OO,000 as we al
lege. This $4O,0OO,000 the company
claims is to cover a bond issue in
equal amount. This suit so far as
know is the first to be filed IN ~
diana to test corporations right to
distribute watered stock to an inno-
cent public.

Gore Won Everybody In Old The
North State.
Greensboro Telegram.)

This old town rang yesterday with
the praise of Senator Cores speech
Tuesday night. Men who had heard
Vance said that Cores style of speak
ing was like Vance's, which was
great compliment indeed. The coming
of a man like Gore into a community
should be and is an influence for good.
The Senator is man who has made
the most of his opportunities. What
he has done he has done the best he
knew. With the most of us the dis
position to hurry through with our
work and to do it in a slovenfy man
ner is rather strong. Mr.. Gore evil
IDENTIFY has the infinite capacity for
taking pains which some great writer
has designated as genius. He makes
the ideal political speech-one-fourth
argument and three-fourths wit and
humor.

occasion for the foundation of
schools, great university and some
of the most superb public buildings in
the world
"Under Porfirio Diax, Mexico has
shown herself not merely lavish and
generous, but strong and dignifed

Clyde Liner Disabled.

Beaufort, Sept. 26.-The Clyde Line
steamer Huron, from Jacksonville and
Charleston for New York with passen-
gers, broke her tail shaft when near
Diamond Shoals lightship at noon Sat
urday. She succeeded in anchoring
safely and sent out wireless calls for
assistance.
The breaking of the shaft rendered
the Inner helpless and Captain Staples
Immediately let go the vessels anchor.
There was no excitement on board.
Few of the passengers knew the cause
of the vessels anchoring. When the
accident occurred the Huron was 25
miles southwest of Diamond Shoals
light vessels, and she will be forced to
remain at anchor until some vessel
comes to her assistance.
The steamer Arapahoe, of the Clyde
Line, bound from New York to Char
lesion and Jacksoncville, heard the
wireless calls of the Huron and has
tened to her. The two vessels hap
pened to be a comparatively short
distance from each other when the
wireless calls were sent out, and the
Arapahoe was soon alongside the dis
tressed steamer.
The Arapahoe will remain with her
until the arrival of the Navajo, north
bound, which has instructions by wire,
less to tow the Huron to New York.

CONVENTION
TOMORROW
New York Republi-
cans Gathering
at Saratoga
WILL Be A FIGHT

Saratoga, n. Y, Sept. 26.-If the
progressives under the leadership of
Theodore Roosevelt win their fight
against the old guard for control of
the Republican State convention,
which opens tomorrow, it will be af-
Ter a battle on the convention floor.
1t is unlikely that an attempt will be
made to repel the State committee
on the Roosevelt-Sherman chairman
ship controversy at its meeting to-
night.
This is the situation as outlined by
President Lloyd c. Griscom, of the
New York County Republican Com
mittee shortly after his arrival here.
1t indicates that the progressives are
State committee and that they pre-
fer to take no chance on having the
committee reject Mr.. Roosevelt a sec
ond time, thinking it safer to leave the
solution of the problem to the conven-
ton itself, of which they claim they
control by large majority.
The minimum Roosevelt vote is
placed by Mr.. Griscom at $40, while
Cornelius " Collins, of Troy, who is
lining up the Roosevelt forces, placed
the figures at $50 with new recruits
constantly coming.
State Chairman Woodruff declared
there was little change in the situa-
ton and that the contest would be
close.
Mr.. Griscom retold last night the
circumstances leading up to the pre-
sentation of Colonel Roosevelt's name
at the State Committee meeting on
August 10th. He had been shown an
editorial in Mr.. Barneys' Albany paper
in which appeared this statement:
ttThe argument advanced by Mr..
Griscom that the members of the
State Committee who voted for Mr..
Sherman were deceived, is simply
plain he.''
The New York chairman reiterated
his former statement that reception
had been practiced in regard to Pres
ident Taft's position on the temporary
Craftsmanship by the old guard leaders
but further than this he made no COM
ment.
While the progressives are confident
of electing Colonel Roosevelt as tenn
porary chairman the greater struggle,
they say, viii come In the
on resolutions over the direct primary
question.
Asked about candidates, Mr.. Girls
com thought the upstate section
should have the preference in naming
the candidate.
"But," he added, whoever is Sc
lected must measure fully up to the
standard Of some good men we have
down in New York-Henry L. Slim
son, William S. Bennett and Seth Low,
for instance"

R. R. ORDERS
Trolley Passenger
And Freight
Collide
SIX ARE KILLED

Upton, Ind, Sept 26.-Disobedience
to orders by the crew of a freight
car is said to have been the cause
Saturday of the second interurban
traction wreck within three days In
Indiana. The disaster cost the lives
of six persons, the serious injury of
six more and severe hurts to score.
A southbound freight car crashed
head-on into a northbound passenger
car on the Indianapolis and Peru divi-
sion of the Indiana Union Traction
Company shortly this afternoon, two
miles north of this city. The freight
car was in charge of Motorman Lacey
and Conductor Sebree.
The dead are:
DR.. w. c. Holthouser, Brooklyn,
N. Y.
Walter T.. Holthouser, Brooklyn,
N. Y.
Verbel Railsback, Hymenia, Ind.
Joseph Baker, Motorman on limited
car, Logansport, Ind.
Lewis Broo, Kokofa, Ind
B. E. Welch, Marshall, Mich. =
The freight car, it is said, had or
ders to stop at the first switch north
of Resse1er's Crossing, but tried to
make the first switch south. A clump
of trees hid the limited and the crew
of the freight barely had time to jump
to save their lives. The front end OF
the limited was shattered and all pas
sengers in the smoking compartment
were killed.
Farmers living in the vicinity OF
Ressler's crossing heard the crash
and after telephoning into Upton for
physicians, went to the aid of the in
jured. Nearby homes were thrown
open and the seriously injured made
as comfortable as possible until the
arrival of physicians. The traction
company sent out special cars from
Upton, equipped with cots and the
dead and injured were brought to this
city.
One of the sad features of the
wreck is that of DR.. Holthouser, of
Brooklyn, N. Y, who with hrs brother,
Walter H. Holthouser, who was also
killed, was on his way to Kokomo,
Indiana, to be married to Miss Nellie
Coxen, daughter of the secretary of
the Great Western Pottery Company,
of Kokomo. The brother was to have
been best man at the wedding. Miss
Coxen was prostrated when she heard
of the death of her fiance.
/ "T guess we over-ran our orders"
said Motorman Lacey, Of the freight
car, who, with Conductor Sebree,
jumped when he saw the limited
bearing down upon them.
Just three days ago, almost to the
hour, occurred the fatal wreck near
Kingsland, Ind, on the Bluffton divi-
sion of the Wabash Valley Traction
Company, which caused the death Of
forty-one persons, with three more
still in the hospitals of Fort Wayne,
with barely chance for recovery.

companions. He telegraphed q state
ment OF the affair to the American
ambassador, who requested him to come
to Rome. This Mr.. stuart did, and he
had long conference with Ambassa-
dor LeisEnan to-day. To the ambas-
sador he reported further details of
the occurrence. Arriving at the out

Avellino, Mr. Stuart, accompanied by
three other missionaries. was met by
the chief OF police. several constables

slonaries were released from their
