INT ERURBANS ARE POPULAR
All of the Lines in Iowa With the
Exception of Two Report Good
Patronage and Profit.

Des Moines, Ia, July 14-Interur-
bans in Iowa are prosperous and pop.
ular if the figures as submitted to the
executive council are an indication.
All of the interurban lines OF the
state report a good profit last year
with the exception of the Centerville
Light and Traction Co., and the Os-
kaloosa & Buxton Electric Company.
The longest interurban line in the
state is the Fort Dodge, Des Moines
& Southern, which has over 1T miles
Of main track in the stale, The Water
loo, Cedar Falls & Northern is the
next longest having 110,75 miles of
track. The Oskaloosa & Buxton EIec-
trio railway is the shortest with only
2.3 miles OF main track and the Cen
terville Light & Traction Co. is the
next shortest with only rs miles of
track. The Interurban Railway Co.
which operates lines between Des
Moines and ColfaX and also between
Des Moines and Perry, is one of the
important systems, having a total mil
cage OF GALS. The Waterloo, Cedar
Falls and Northern increased its mil
! cage by twanty-three miles llast year
Unlike the majority of the steam
lines operating in the state the inter
urbans increased their operating ex
pcnses last year. The total operating
expenses for the year for all of the
interurban roads amounted to $2,O66,
O55. as against $1,79O,954.
The nterurbans must file with the
railroad commission a statement GOV

Bedford, July 14.--Elizabeth Benson
of Dover, Okla, and widow of Jona-
than Dark, supposed member of the
outlaw gang near Siam will deny on
the witness stand today that there
ever was a murder of a cattle man
near her home in Siam.
Her testimony will prove a serious
setback to the evidence worked up
by Attorney w. w. Bulman who is
prosecuting the four aged men held
for the murder.
She is expected to testify that Mar

domestic troubles; that there never
was a. murder at Siam and that her
husband Jonathan Dark was killed

the buried treasurer held the crowd
this morning.
Last night the crowd heard Maria
Porter's story OF the bloody deeds 80
years ago, the killing of a stranger
near Siam and then the death OF JON
athan Dark when he threatened her.
When Anderson's testimony is fin
ished there is to come the story of
the discovery of $4,000 in the store
of Dr. A. M. Goliiay when he was
found dead several years ago.
Maria Porter, aged So, who never
went to school, but who was more
than a match for university trained
lawyer, has changed the aspect OF
the Siam mystery. She was on the
stand two hours last night and again
today, performing the remarkable in
making her story stronger in cross
examination. Attorney General Cos
son was impressed with Mrs. l>ter' s
story and told the court that the case
mas become one not to be lightly con
sidered. The state today is to attempt
for the first time to supply the murd-
cred man with name. Assistant
ID County Attorney Wisdom has an,

message from II. L. Carr, former may
