R - WANT OMAHA TO HELP. Projectors of & Transcontinental Submit w Froposition number of prominent citizens gathered in the mayor's office last night to consider a proposition from William Dallin of Chi- cago, vice president apd manager of the Atlantic and Pacific_Construction company. Mr. Dailin pushing a transcontinental railroad, which is to connect the two oceans in an air line and'with double tracks, but which is chiefly on paper as yet. His propo- sition was that the ‘city should promise to pay the company '$40,000 when the road reached the city, anil' to subscribe and pay for $100 worth of stoek ‘mow. J. H. Dumont was appointed a committee of one to con- sider further with M, Dallin. According to the representaticns of Mr. Dallin, ths company ' proposes t. build a double track air line 'road from New York to San Francisco, which will not diverge from its course to rbach any city and which will pierce ‘mountaind #nd” surniount other obstacles without deyiating from'a straight line. By this means it is proposed to sherten the distance between San Franciseo and New York by 600 miles, and that between Chicago and New York by 200. The time between the first two points will be forty-e ght hours, and the last two thirteen hours, the rate of speed being sixty miles an hour, including stops. The entire line, it is estimated, will cost $400,000,000, $125.000,000 of this to be ex- pended between Chicago and New York. It is intended to Introduce a bill in congress placing the entire enterprise under the su- pervision of the governmeént for the endorse- ment of the bonds of the road. A British syndicate is back of the project, which will e $125,000,000 worth of bonds at 5 per cent, the bonds being sold at 90 per cent of their face value if an indapendent company builds the road. But if the government en- dorses the bonds at 3 per cent they will sell at par value. Mr. Dallin said the survey had been com- pleted nearly to Chicugo and would reach the Mizs!ssippl river by December 20, when the syndicate would give $1,000,000 to begin the building of the road. The company was a lit- tle in the hole and wanted the western citles to help it out (o reach the river. The con- tract with the syndicats roquires the comple- tion of the road to Chicago by 1598, and the whole road by 1900, After the scheme had been outlined no one sald much, but the meeting appeared to voice Mr. Rosewater’s opinion when he sald con- gress wouldn't give any help, and, if It did, tho road would collapse, as there Is not enough business to support two roads between New York and Chicago, while there are now six.

SPOILED A NICE SCHEME| Reok Island Tetectives Take in a Braoce of Would-Ee Train Bobbars, PLANS ALL LAID WITH GREAT CARE Intended to Stop the Train at the Water Tank Seven Miles Enst of St Joseph and Rifle the Ex- press and Mafl Cars, ST. LOUIS, Oct. 2.—A special 1o the Post Dispateh from St. Joseph, Mo., says: Lee Jones and “‘Scarfaced” Charley Frizzell were arrested here today, charged with conspiracy to rob the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacifie train. The pair have been under surveillance some time, It being known that they, with others, were planning a train robbery. The conspirators were betrayed by one of their own band. A week ago it was planned to rob a westbound Rock Island train ,and to blow it up if necessury. This was postponed and last night finally abandoned, the would- be robbers learning that the police were after them. The arrests followad and others are expected. Since the attempt made about a month 80 10 rob the Denver express the officers of the rtoad have been looking for the men conearned in the enterprise. Suspicion painted to “a long-haired erook from the Inlian ter- ritory,” as the prime mover. The ehicf spe- cial agent, Martin Fiynn, of the Rock Is- land, went to St. Joseph and was not long in identifying the “long-hairad crook” as Jones, who had recently arrived from the Indian territory and carried his character He was a blustering bully, with no visible means of support and with a habit of frequenting disreputable saloons and assoclating with desperate characters. Among his assoclates were Lee Frizzell and a man named Callaghan, who, a fow days after the arrival of the railroad officer, was arrested by the local officers on a charge of glary and was lodged in jail. It was learned that the trio had instigated the former attempt and that Jones and Friszell had not abandoned hopes of ultimately gain- ssion of the treasure in the express and mail cars. Speclal Agent Flynn retusned to Chicago, and September 0 a meeting was held in the office of General Manager W. L Allen, at which were present Genoral Superin- tendent Dunlap, General Manager Al- len, Special Agent Fiynn und De- tective B. A. Burcharl. As a result of the meeting Burchard on the following day took a train for St. Joseph, and, in the guise of a Chicago ciook, went to the Buffalo Head saloon, a resort much frequented by Jones, Frizzell and similar characters. It was fair week and the town was well patron- tzed by gamblers and other adventurers from the surrounding count It was an easy matter to gain access to the society circle in which Jones was a shining light, end when, on September 17, Flynn, in the guise of a Chicago gambler out of luck, ar- ved at the Buffalo Head, Burchard was in position to introduce him. Burchard was right in it sald Flynn, speaking of the episode. “He was at the head of the table and Fred Jones was at the foot Frizzell was there and half a dozen ex-con- victs were also at the board at which Bur- chard presided “Jones 5 a character. He drank freely and talked openly of crime. He was a hideous looking object, six feet tall, with broad shoulders and powerful physique. His fong, black hair hanging from beneath a broad-brimmed sombrero did not conceal any part of the most repulsive human face 1 over say. While in a fit Jones fell into a camp fire and his entirc face was burned al- most out of human semblance. “He was one whose criminal proclivities could not have been concealed. He was 35 yoars old and possessed of a liberal educa- tion. An accomplished artist, he would not work, and openly boasted that he would yet outdo the exploits of Jesse James. Jones had served two terms in the penitentiary for counterfelting, but had escaped all pun- ishment for & long list of violations of the | state laws, and seemed to wander at will through Missouri, with perfect immunity from arrest. He was the leader of the gang with whom the Indian territory, Kansas and Burchard was on friendly terms. Jones was always heavily armed. He would not hesi- tate to shoot on the slightest provocation. But ho was not really a dangerous man, lack- ing mental force and depending for his repu- tation on brute courage and blufl. “A more dangerous man was Lee Frizzell, also an ex-convict. He was quiot and watch- ful and sometimes appeared to suspect that Burchard was not all right. It required much tact to dissipate the fellow's suspicions, but the detective finally succeeded, and was taken fully into the confidence of Frizzell and his friend and associate, Frank Linburg. Bur- chard was finaily admitted to all of the plans for a raid on the train. The party was to consist of Jones, Linburg, Frizzell, Burchard and two ‘good people’ who were to be on hand in time. Tuesday evening, September 25, was the time for the attempt. The Denver express, due in St. Joseph at 7:40 o'clock, was to be intercepted at the water tank, seven miles east of town. As the locomotive stopped at the water tank one of the bandits was to break the couplings behind the mail and express cars while the others commanded the engineer to go ahead into a deep cut half a mile up the track, leaving the passenger coachies be- hind. In the cut the work of robbery was to be completed, four men going through the express and mail cars, Wle one, armed with a rifle, kept watch on the enginser and fire- man."
