SURVEY
FREIGHT CARS
They Do Not Believe There is a
Car Shortage
FREIGHT CARS BEING
HELD UP UNNECESSARILY
Most of the Talk About Short
age is Proven to be Camou-
flage in Illinois

Chlcago, August 19-The first sur
Vey or freight cars ever taken by the
farmers of state has just been COM
pleted through the Illinois Agricultur-
al Association, Secretary D. o. Thomp-
son announced today. On the hasis of I
TINS census he said Illinois farmers did
not peileve there was car shortage.
Inc trouble with transportation is
characterized as .immobility" and he
declared the farmers meant to find
out whose fault it was.
Secretary Thompson said the asso ~
citation undertook its census after r. =
ceiving reports from farmers over le
state that they saw many cars stand
ing idle on country tracks.
Members Of the association make
daily records Of the car initials and
numbers of all cars at 494 stations
located i'm 46 different counties
for seven consecutive days." the state
farm bureau executive said OF
these 494 stations, LAG or 2s.5 per cent
reported some of the same cars on
tracks the last day of the count ns
were on the tracks the first day of the
count
AT all stations, 1924 cars were
listed the first cay and OF these cars,
9SS out of 1924 cars had not been
moved from the country point for sew
en- consecutive days. This is just a lit
tie over 10 per cent of the cars at
such points.
mo count was made in Chicago. In,
several other large yards The asso-
citation enumerators were ejetted from
the yards by railroad officials.
Mine operators say they 1were
forced to idleness many days each
week leading to the strike OF the min
ers which recently tied up the mines
just when the farmers were needing
coal for thrashing. At this same time
before the strike in Christian coun-
ty, at Clarksdale and at witleys. two
trains OF coal cars totaling $50 cars
We're reported empty at both first and
last days of the count.
IF we may take the total number
of freight cars of the country on De-
cember 81, 1918: as a basis for com
putation and consider that the per
centage of immo obility of cars Is as
great in Chicago, toledo and New
| CO =" SoohIy poHleS IKE SlarkS-
dale Fidelity and Lew Point, 1t is
very moderate when we say that the.
total number of new cars which the,
railroads say they need to meefs the
transportation requirements OF -tAo
present moment, is not patch to the.
total of immobile cars now idling BY
the weeks and months in terminal
yards and on side tracks at country
points. Ss
This SURVEY shows pretty clearly to
the farmers of Illinois the excuse of
car shortage is largely camoufage.
given to cover up some real, deeper
reason for the present transportation
inefficiency. And to search for that
reason will be the next job OF the,
farmers business organization

TRUNK MURDER
UP AGAIN
New York Mystery Extends
From Canada to Alabama
BIG REWARD OUT FOR
CAPTURE OF LEROY
Reported TO Be in Many Sec
tions of the CountryBut Still
at Large

New York, August .16---The trunk
murder" mystery in connection with
which Eugene Leroy is being sought
by detectives all over the country and
in Canada and Mexico, has ramifica-
tions which extend from New York to
Michigan, Mississippi and Alabama.
few minutes after an employee Of
the American Railway Express Com
pany here had discovered the nude
and mutilated body OF a young wo-
man In trunk stored in the unclaim-
ed baggage warehouse, police of New
York and Detroit began following the
train of evidence which led to the VIC
tins Identification as Mrs. Katherine
Lou Jackson of Sturgis, Miss, and
the locaeion of A. A Tatum. whose
name and a Detroit address was found
marked on the trunk which concealed
the crime for more than month.
AT 105 Harper street, Detroit Ia
tum was unknown but someone told
detectives that "a young couple known
as Mr.. and Mrs. IL. Leroy had disap-
peared from that address about June
10, the date on which the trunk was
shipped to New York. ~.
The publicity given these two names
OF Leroy and Tatum. brought forward
Andrew j. Branic. a New York ex-
pressman who said he knew Leroy tn-
ierl tho name of Fernandez He told
the police he had handled a trunk for
FERNANDEZ or Leroy, who, he said, al
20 used. the name of O. j. Woods
te produced a letter from Leroy, en-
CLOSING check for the trunk in which
the body was later found asking that
1t be removed from the express ware
house and stored by Branic until Le-
roy should call for it.
A Detroit policeman. Leo Trumbull
then came to the front, declaring that
he and. his wife. knew the young wo-
man who lived with Leroy as his wife
at the Harper Aveniie address. When
the body Of the murdered woman ar
rived I'm Detroit. Trumbull and his
wife identified it as "Mrs. Leroy"
Then from the south came positive
word that Mrs. Leroy was really
Mrs. Jackson. wife of Kid Mccoy
Jackson of Sturgis, Miss.
'"The town was too small for Kitty
AWo anu SHe WeHt aWay,T JACKSON
said. when asked to tell what he knew
of his wife's wanderings.
| Next Tatum. the man whose name
| appeared on the mysterious trunk
walked into police headquarters at
Birmingham, Alabama, and explained
his connection with the case.
He told the authorities that he had
known Mrs. Jackson in Birmingham.
where he works as a linotype operator
Al her invitation he visited her in
Detroit. where she told him she had
married Leroy and that he was terri
bly, jealous" Shortly afterward. Ia
tum said, he returned to Birming-
ham,, He declared that the next he
heard of the woman was when he read
OF the discovery of her body.
Reports have poured in from every
quarter of the continent indicating
that Leroy had been seen in this or
that place. A $1,000 reward offered
by the police Of Detroit stimulated the
search and he was reported variously
as escaping to Canada, hiding in Mex
leo, and sailing for Brazil and the Ba-
himas and under arrest in Chicago.
