DENIAL GIVEN TO
A TRACTION RUM0R
l. U. T. Company Does Not
Intend to Extend Honey
bee to Richmond.

The report that the Indiana Union
traction company is to absorb the
Honey Bee traction line, owned by
New Castle capital, and that the line
will then be extended to- Middletown
and to Richmond, completing won
derful network of electric railway
lines, is declared to be absolutely with
out foundation by officials of the l. u.
T. company. .-- - - -
Information on this matter is said to
have been given out by officials of the
T. H. 1. & e. company at indianapolis.
According to the story the latter com.
pany is to enter into an agreement
with the l. u T. company for it to use
the. T. H. 1. & e. depot at New Castle.
The following statement Ola semi
official nature comes from New Gas
tie:
The proposed extensions to Nun.
Gle, Anderson and Richmond will be
built eventually. according to reports
received today, but it is likely that the
Anderson line will be the first to be
developed There is an advantage OF
building this road first because the
company owns the right-of-way, has
built a grade to within ave miles OF
New Castle, and has the line in oper
alton between Anderson and Middle
town.

offices of the various morning newspa-
per plants and jeered when the nom
union pressmen who are manning the
presses left the buildings accompanied
by policemen who were on hand to
see that no disorders occurred. A
group of non-union pressmen taken to
a downtown restaurant were forced to
go away without the midnight lunch.
The mattresses, members OF a union,
refused to serve them.
The strike of the wagon drivers
proved serious handicap in distribut-
ing the papers and in many sections of
the city they were not obtainable
No disorder accompanied the strike
except the struggle between the news
boys who desired to handle papers
and the sympathizers of the strikers.
The sympathizers seized hundreds of
newspapers that had been given to
the newsboys and before the offices of
the morning papers there was litter
of torn papers in the streets.
Policemen guarded the wagons that
delivered the papers in the suburbs.
Two officers rode on each wagon.

He Denounces Bribery.
In his Salisbury speech Col Roose-

the ex-president. "Mr. Taft has also
told us that he distrusts the impul-

The Colonel criticized the Maryland
Taft machine, led by William B. Jack

We expect him to be with us. But the
crooked business man we don't want
with us. and he is not. He knows well
we don't want him."
Col Roosevelt then made a strong
declaration for clean politics. "The
man who sells his VOTE" he cried, "is
traitor. He is traitor to himself
and the cause he represents. He is
not fit to have a voice in government.

man in the South sees that none of his
race sells his vote. If the colored peo-
pie want to do as l wish, hope they
will organize and see that there isn't
any corruption in the South. This al
so applies to the white man, for some
white men will try to debauch the col
