notorious female anarchist accompanied bv a

by the decent element. she will leave hurriedlv

AZ present she IS calculating on another disturb

keen mind for the business end of agitation and
a faculty for rapid calculation of receipts.
This woman has made several visits to San
Francisco. On her first coming the San Fran
cisco police department took her seriously and
she secured some notoriety. On her subsequent
VISIT she was ignored by the police and received
generally with amused contempt This visit was
an Improbable one, and the woman was partic

was not prosecuted
She went to San Diego because she saw the
chance to star proftably in that disturbance. bpt
the resentment was strong as to be dangerous

MISS BROOKS WINS
WAR ON RESORTS
West Hammond, Ind. Coun-
Gil Last Night Voted to
Revoke All Licenses.
(National News Association)


HAMMOND. Ind, Aug. 23.-Investi-
cation into a number OF mysterious
deaths in West Hammond resort and
search for Frank Davis, whose daugh-
ter was kidnapped and held in one OF
the dives, were the sequel today to
the triumph of the reform element
in West Hammond. The reformers
won at the council meeting last night.
About 800 of them followed Virginia
Brooks to the council chamber and
watched the proceedings. The licens-
es of seven resort and saloonkeepers
were revoked. The council was even
ly divided. Mayor Woozynski, saloon
keeper and accused of accepting a
bribe. cast the deciding vote. 1t was
always in the interest of the reform
ers.
Davis had promised to lead in a re-
sort smashing raid il the council did
not revoke the licenses. He was not
there. Inquiries showed he had not
been seen since he had promised 10
take part in the crusade. 1t is believ-
ed he has been shanghaied. Officers
are seeking him. He had threatened
the life of the resort keeper who stole
his daughter.
The authorities are investigating
the burial without permits of persons
who died in one of the resorts.

.PENROSE HIT
SAVAGELY BY
THE COLONEL
Pennsylvania Senator Called
Embodiment of All That
Is Worse in Politics and
Business.
(National News Association)


NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-"Mr. Pen
rose is the embodiment and represent
ative of all that is worse in our busi
ness and political life-he deliberate
ly and wilfully misrepresented me,
but welcome his opposition was
the way Col Roosevelt answered the
attack of Senator Penrose when he
reached his office today.
The Colonel reiterated in forceful
terms the statement in which he
places Penrose in the Ananias club,
and denied emphatically that he knew
OF the Standard Oil contribution, or
that he wrote the letter to Cortelyou
asking that the contribution be refused
as means of furnishing good cam
paign material.
The statement In part follows:
"Mr. Penrose is the embodiment
and representative of all that is worse
in our political life and worst in the
alliance between business and politics
which has done so much harm in this
country, and hail his opposition with
rnfeigned joy. We, the Progressive
party, are the mortal enemies of Mr..
Penroce and his kind and all the hid
eous people which they represent in
our public life. The statement that
Mr.. Perkins underworld the sum of
100000 or any sum resembling that
amount to finance my primary cam
JaiEn Is deliberate and wilful false
rood which Mr. Penrose knows to be
talse, when he makes it. The state
rent that the letters written by me
to Mr. Cortelyou were not genuine
and were not accepted as genuine,
were written only for the record, is
a deliberate and wilful falsehood,
which Mr.. Penrose knows to be false
when he states it. There is nothing
welcome more than Mr. Penroses op-
rosit'"n, and Mr. Poindexter pointed
cut the attitude when he said Mr..
Penrose and his allies in the senate,
Republicans and Democrats alike were
in a conspiracy to serve the corrup-
ton of politics and business alike by
erdeavoring through slandering and
~rndacity to oppose the only men
and the only party which seriously

STREET CAR STRIKE
NOW NEARING CLOSE
Wage Scale Is the Only Oh
stacle in Path of Peace
full Settlement.
(National News Association

CHICAGO, Aug. 23-Only one OBJ
stacle today stood in the way of a
peaceful settlement of the street car
strike question. That obstacle is the
wage scale Concessions made by both
sides in late conference yesterday
cleared away any differences over
working conditions. Today there was
a truce in the negotiations. Tomor-
row they will be resumed.
a at tomorrows meeting, President
Busby of the Chicago Railway will
present the draft of the wage scale
that the companies have agreed on.
This is the most important question
in the controversy. The street rail
way officials desired a days time in
which to go over the final details be-
fore the agreement was submitted.
In the event of the committee &C,
cepting the proposals OF the street
chiefs on the wage proposition, the
matter will be placed before the mem
bers of the union and they will de
eide by secret ballot whether the com
pany's terms will be satisfactory.
When the surface companies and
their employees meet to receive a fina
answer tomorrow, it was announced
that the wage scale committee of the
elevated roads was to call upon Pres
ident Budd to make his final answer
on the wage scale.

For u. S. Is Penn. Ry. Says
an English Publication.

That the earnings of no single rail-
road reflect the trade conditions of the
United States more faithfully than
those of the Pennsylvania railroad, is
the statement made in a recent num-
ber of The Statist." leading jour
nal of finance and trade in England.
1t is pointed out that from decade to
decade the traffic of the Pennsylvania
and it's earnings, have shown vast
increase in consequence of the expan-
sion in the wealth, income, and trade
of the country.
Referring to the present business
outlook, THE Statist" says: Already
the recovery has commenced, and
since last October the gross earnings
of the railroad have shown expan-
sion. For the first five months of
1912 the expansion in gross earnings
has been $5,444, 900, or nearly nine
per cent The volume of American
trade largely depends upon the abund-
ance of the crops; and inasmuch as
the harvest of 1912 other than winter
wheat promises to be large, a great ex-
pansion in the traffic and earnings of
the Pennsylvania is assured.
"If the traffic of the Pennsylvania
shows the normal rate of expansion
in the next few years, as we confid-
emily anticipate it will do, the increase
| in the profits of the undertaking
should prove substantial In recent
years the company has constructed
additional lines of railway along the
whole length of its system, and it is
now in a position to operate economic
ally a much larger traffic than it en-
joys. Consequently, an increase in
traffic for the next few years will not
mean a corresponding increase OF
capital charges, but will bring a large
expansion in profit for dividend"
Calling attention to the earnings oi
the Pennsylvania last year, "The
Statist" refers to the fact that ''the
company earned a profit of no less
than $37,000,000 for dividend upon its
common stock, equal to s55 per cen
on the stock. figure nearly as large
as that of the previous year, and after
paying dividend of six per cent
there was a balance of over $11 900,
900 for improvements and capital pur
poses. The maintenance of the
freight rate with economy of opera
ton arising from the skill with which
the traffic is now dealt, and with the
absence of any large capital expendi
lures, should mean a large increase o
| profit

STUDY SURVEYS OF
PROPOSED ROUTE
Engineers of the Huntington,
Richmond & Hamilton
Line in the City.

R G. Culbertson, of Chicago, chief
engineer, and c. E. Hollinger. assist
ant engineer, for the proposed Hunt
ington, Richmond and Hamilton trac-
ton and steam railway company, are
in this city today, completing maps of
surveys on that part of the proposed
line between Huntington to Richmond.
Messrs. Culbertson and Hollinger were
at the court house most of the day
studying maps of the various town
ships through which the line is to be
constructed
1t is understood that the H. r. &
H. company intends to push the pre-
liminary work for the construction of
the line. Fred Binel and Judge J. NJ,
Smith, both of Portland, who are two
of the main stockholders in the COM
pany, are desirous of seeing the pro-
posed road ready for traffic as soon as
possible, according to statements
made by the two engineers.
The proposed company will use a
stretch of road, already constructed,
between Huntington and Portland,
for the operation of it's traffic. The
new line will be built between Port
land and Richmond and Hamilton.
One rather odd feature at least for
this section of the country, to be put
in operation by the new company, is
that the passenger cars will be run
by traction motors, while steam loco,
motives will be used to transport
freight.
The new line will touch but few
towns, according to the present plans
and specifications. The towns and
cities which the line will reach are
Huntington, Portland, Union City
Richmond and Hamilton. The road
will run near Bethel and Whitewater
AS far as is known there are no 10
cal stockholders in the company.

By the County Auditors, Mr..
Bowman States.

One Of the most important matters
broached and discussed at the annual
meeting of the association of county
auditors of the state, which ended yes
terday at Indianapolis, is that of at
tempting to have a law enacted which
will transfer the handling of the mort
gage exemptions from the county au-
ditor's Office to the office of the county
assessor, in the opinion of Lewis Bow
man, Wayne county auditor, who at
tended the meeting. Mr.. Bowman as
of a great deal of work. He also
says that this work should be done
in the assessors office.
At the special meeting of the county
auditors of the state, to be called be-
tween December 10 and Is, for the
purpose of discussing needed legisla-
ton, this matter will be brought up.
A more equitable and uniform sys-
tenn for the taxation of lands in Indi-
ana was also proposed and resolu-
ton was adopted, instructing the legis-
lative committee of the association to
confer with the state tax board con-
cerning a bill covering this subject,
to be presented to the next legislature
1t is the idea to provide for classi'
