TRAIL OF LOST PUP

Citizens of South Bend are urged not
to believe the worst about South
Bends detective department if
through Saturday and Sunday a few
of its members are seen swapping
their fingers in out of the way corners
and calling in soothing tones: Buster,
here Buster, old pup"
They will merely be searching for
"a funny cOlOred little dog who an
swers promptly TO the name of Bus
ter"
Chief Kuespert said Saturday morn
ing that the entire department would
he placed on the trail. OF course, he
may have been exaggerating. The
best way to locate the pup, said the
chief. was to scour the city with the
police department, while the detec-
tives would be sent to likely quarters
of the city and ordered to call out
loudly: Buster, Buster" at frequent
intervals.
Buster was lost Friday and is the
property of Mrs. G.. NJ. Reinhardt, $50
W. Jefferson blvd. Her description Of
the lost canine is odd, not TO sdy BIZ
zarre. "a funny colored little brute
who answers promptly TO the name Of
Buster"

Michigan Have Been
Killed.

Indiana and Michigan are now free
from any visible signs of the hoof
and mouth disease, according to fed
eral officials at Niles, who stated last

Will be permissible to ship into quar-
artine districts cattle and stock for
any purpose and legitimate TO ship

THREE WOMEN ARE FREED
OF COAL THEFT CHARGE

Catherine Fabian, 2213 Merry av. !;
Elizabeth Caiszor, 22O5 Merry av.,
and Mrs. Katie Deszo. 2209 Merry av,
were found not guilty Of stealing coal
from cars in the Lake Shore yards
Charges against them were preferred
by Special officer Rudzinski. The
court held that evidence against them
was not strong enough to warrant a
Jail sentence.
Several witnesses testified that they
had seen the women in the yards.
and that in their home the same sort
of coal used by the railroad was
found. Mrs. DeszO was freed on ac-
count of having been found not guilty

TELEGRAM FROM
ROCKEFELLER, JR.
IS INTRODUCED

DENVER, Col, Dec. 5.-A tele-
gram from John D. Rockefeller, jr-
to Jesse F. WeIborn. president. and
l.. NJ. Bowers, chairman OF the board
Of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Co.
created a sensation Friday at the
nearing Of the federal commission on
industrial relations.
This message. instructing the local
men 10 do certain things calculated
TO entrench the coal operators in the
good graceS OF the public, was pro-
cured in mysterious manner by the
miners union and copies were sub
mitted to the federal commission 70
be introduced later as evidence. We'll
born admitted the authenticity of the
telegram, which is introduced for the
purpose of impeaching the testimony
Of John D. Rockefeller, jr.. given be-
fore the congressional committee, de-
nying that he had any active connec-
ton with the operators conduct of
the strike.
The telegram which made reference
to an arbitrary settlement plan which
mad been advanced by the operators
through Gov. Ammohs and Rockefel-
Ter concluded by saying:
Here's the Message.
1T seems TO US that the operators
should call Dr. Fosters (meaning
Rep. Foster of Illinois) attention to
these facts and reiterate their will
lngness TO accept this settlement. BY
SO doing they will place themselves in
a very strong position before the pub
lie, in that it would be evident that
all disorder since Nov. 27 has been
due TO the refusal of the union to &C
cept the settlement which was pro-
posed by the governor and accepted
by the operators, but rejected by the
miners, unless in the meantime there
mas been an important change in the
situation. As stockholders and direc-
tors, we strongly urge that the ope-
rators make reply to DR.. Foster along
these lines"
Former L. s. Sen. Patterson con-
Guided his testimony Friday forenoon
by making a strong plea for a COM
pulsory arbitration law, intimating
that the operators, by refusing 20
meet the men in conference, consid-
cred that all men are not born equal.
lie said such a law was necessary to
bring the operators to their senses.
Union Leader Testifies.
John McLennan, president Of dis
trict No. l, United Mine Workers,
traced the history of coal strikes in
this state from 1876 and also intro
duced a letter from the chief of the
Colorado secret service to the Colo
RADIO Fuel and Iron. Co, showing how
the strike leaders in 1904 were
'kangarOOed (beaten up and inca
pacitated and driven from the state). |
Coming to the present strike he told
Of white-capping methods employed !
~ the operators, citing an instance |
where a union official was dragged |
from fire by four company agents, |
terribly beaten and ordered to quit |

Every section OF the territory ira
versed by the road has or should have
a keen interest in its Improvement.
The middle states. and other sections
that would have access 10 the road
10y the Lincoln highway with which
II connects at South Bend. are inter
ested In having direct route into
the Blue Grass region Of Kentucky;
the historic ground around Nashville
and Chattanooga with wealth, too, OF
scenic beauty. 20 the historic and
fertile regions Of Georgia, and further
south 10 Atlanta and into Florida.
The same convenience would be de-
rived by people Of localities along the
road. for social intercourse and bet
ter marketing Of their crops. They
would also enjoy the benefits of
closer touch with the outside world.
Northern and western people would
get better acquainted with their re-
sources and advantages. The finan-
cial benefit accruing from a steady
flow OF new money from the pockets
Of tourists into their pockets would
be incalculable. The tourists are
travelling somewhere ever lQCredS-
ing in number. and that they would
gladly go into the south to enjoy the
historic and scenic regions referred
to. there is no doubt.
Chattanooga Interested.
Chattanooga is very vitality inter-
ested in the project, and, very proper
" on account Of her historic and
scenic endOwments. is one of the two
elements taking the lead in prOmOt-
ing Improvement of the Indianapolis
Jacksonville route. The automobile
club, chamber of commerce. tourist
and convention bureau, etc, sent a
delegation into Coffee county, Ten
nessee, late in November, to help
unity the people on a proposed bond
issue for the beginning Of a good
road system in that county. One road
TO be improved among the first is a
portion of the Nashville-C Chattanooga
highway, which is an important link
of the Indianapoli Jacksonville route.
Good was accomplished by the trip.
There is little doubt that in a few
weeks the Coffee county situation will
be remedied, which means another
important step toward the day when
every foot of the road will be in first
class condition. Now, before the
Coffee county work begins, il is in
good condition with the exception of
Coffee and Grundy counties.

TrammeH of Florida. viii be invited
20 meet with Gov. Ben W. Hooper OF
tennessee in Chattanooga some time
this month in regard 10 the proposed
Improvement Of certain roads which,
traVersing or entering their states,
form a complete and very direct
highway between South Bend Ind,
and Jacksonville. Fla. All good roads
enthusiasts in the states affected Will
also be invited TO join in the confer
ence. and il is anticipated that ways
and means Will be evolved which will
speedily lead 10 such betterment Of
the road in a short time that traffic
TO and from the north, into the his
toric. scenic and wealthy south will
be heavy instead OF tourists avoiding
this particular route on account Of
its uncertain condition. The Chat
tanoOga Automobile club and cham
Der OF commerce and Hoosier Motor
club Of indianapolis are principal
movers in the project and are en-
deavOring TO have the conference held
before New Years in order that there
shall be no dei2y in working out the
details.
One of the most practical and at
the same time comprehensive good
roads projects ever launched for bene-
tit Of the south is this one. for i'm
provement Of the highway from
northern Indiana TO Jacksonville. 1t
has the decided advantage of a good
foundation TO start with, in the form
OF roads most OF them connected, all
the way between the places named.
For that reason it is safe to say that
q comparatively small sum would put
these roads in good condition and
make of them a continuous highway.
When that is accomplished there viii
be a complete road. without bad
stretches such as now exists in some
localities, from the middle states TO
Florida, where so many thousands OF
people go every winter to get away
from severe weather And. as the
road connects with the east and west
route known as the Lincoln highway.
which is being rapidly improved, it
viii put the south in more direct
touch with other sections of the
country from which many thousands
Of people go on pleasure trips yearly.
Adding the benefits of the tourists
who would be attracted into a cOun-
try which they hesitate enterting now
on account of doubtful roads. and the
money they spend, TO the better con-
nection that would be afforded from
town 20 town, from city TO city, the
tremendous value of the project is
easily graSped.
From South Bend 20 Florida.
The proposed route pcnciHed on a
map reveals an unusually direct
course from South Bend to Florida,
saving many hundreds of miles as
compared with the route chosen now
By tourists who feel they do not want
TO contend with short stretches of
poor roads here and there. The line
OF the road touches such points as
these.
