Transfers at COuEested Points
Mr.. BeeIer will, IL is understood,
recommend free transfers at num-
Der OF congested points and,at some
points where the haul would be longer
than tha roads are willing to agree
TO. He will, II is believed, recommend
free transfers at Pennsylvania ave
nue. and Fourteenth street for the
benefit Of $4,000 to $4,000 Govern
ment employees in the Bureau OF En-
craving and Printing and the Depart
ment of Agriculture. There is 2
cent transfer at this point, which nets
the two companies about $1,000 each
year. With free transfers the number
OF passengers making a change OF
cars would be many times greater
than at present.
At Fifteenth and G streets is an
other 2-cent transfer point, both
places having been fixed by law.
From 800 to 500 people transfer there
on active days. the revenue being

a guushUt wound inflicted by bui-

mended that the murderer be held

IJr &. F. FTeytag atteStCd at the
inquest that he received a call to

Wednesday night at about 9, and
on examination found that the man
was in a serious condition due to
shock He had practically no

domeu on the left side just beneath
the ribs
Theodore Davis stated that he
was at his work at the Burlington
rOundhouse when Baussaure came
running in stating that he had shot
one OF the section hands.
BaussauTe turned over the gun
TO Davis. who in turn placed it in
the hands Of the police. Davis said
he made an investigation at the
scene OF the shooting. which was at
a string Of bunk cars in the yicin-
ity Of First avenue and Fourteenth
street, and finding Lopez to be
badly hurt. he called the police
A Davis, section foreman in
charge Of the gang Of workers, tes-
titled that what he had learned Of
the affair shows that Lopez, I.
Soto and Pete Martinus attempted
10 gain an entrance 10 the bunk car
wherein Baus5aure and Carlos San
chez were, and that Baussaure left
\ his car and shot Lopez.

He said that Lopez was a bad
character and had, together with
other men in the gang, leased and
annoyed Baussaure and Sanchez,
WHO W ulu not take part Will JutIl
in orgies on pay day when women
and liquor were much in evidence
He says that four of the gang left
the city the night of the shooting
and that Sanchez was afraid to
stay at the bunk cars yesterday on
account OF a fight he had had Tues
day with Martinus, but Martinus
also made his escape this after
noon Some Censure Of the police
was voiced for not apprehending
Martinus and T. Soto for their al
legged part in the affair.
Claim is made that the Mexicans
took all Of the dead mans property
with them on leaving Rock Island
A statement made yesterday re
gardiug the affair was cleared up
as TO which box car Lopez was
found in. He is said to have been
found in the car on the east end of
the string of six occupied by T.
Soto Lopez's car was on the ex-
IRENE west end OF the string of six
cars. The section foreman believes
that this in a way goes to show
that Lopez was out of his place
and probably might have taken part
IN the trouble at Baussaure's bunk
car as related by Sanchez.

BE HEARD TO-DAY
IN CIRCUIT COURT

This morning in the circuit court
before Judge Campbell, it is likely that
the election contest for the county
commissionership of the first district.
brought by J. George White against
James Largue, will be heard. Mr..
Largue on the face of the returns
from the 18th, 18th and 26th pre-
cincts, won over Mr.. White by one
vote.
The latter asked a writ of mandamus
against the county board of canvass
ers and the election officials and clerks
in the 18th and 26th districts. Judge
Campbell will decide the merits of the
matter as to a recount in these two
precincts.
In the 18th precinct White had a
majority of % votes. In the 18th pre-
cinct he beat Largue by votes but
in the 26th precinct the printer can
didate polled a majority Of 25. giving
him in the three precincts a lead Of
one vote.
1t is understood that Mr.. White does
not want a recount in the 18th pre-
cinct, where he secured his big ma
jority.
Largue stated last night that he was
willing to have a recount in all three
precincts.
