FIND3 HELENA, Mont., Jan. 10.—Governor Toole has unearthed one of the most fraudulent attempts for the release of a convict from the penitentiary that has ever come to light in this State. Some time ago the Governor received a letter from the then Vice President Theo- dore Roosevelt, saying that a letter had been returned to him from the Dead Let- ter Office purporting to have been written by him, asking for the pardon of Launce- lot G. Livingston, a convict in the Mon- tana penitentiary. Roosevelt sald the let- ter was a forgery. A few days ago the full extent of the forgeries looking to the pardon of Liv- ingston was revealed. A petition was received from the prisoner asking for ex- ecutive clemency and stating that he was a member of a prominent New York fam- ily. There were 102 names signed to the petition, among them being those of Au- st Belmont, Hugh Grant, Vi ent Roosevelt, Cg L the Rev, C. H. hurst, Thomas' A. Edison, W, Astor Chandler, Casper Whitney, B. D, 1 and Henty Stiliman, >’ - D- Morgan Governor Toole wrote to a nu the signers and they all replied lt?l:fitrtl'ols signatures were forgeries.

The club, having forwarded its dues and several registrations of athletes, was accepted as a member. George James suggested that a track and field day be held on Berkeley ovals, the proceeds to go to the fund for send- ing the University. of California athletes to the East. President Hinchman ap- ointed George James with full power to nvestigate the matter, to interview rep- 1esentatives of the universities of Cali- fornia and Stanford and report to the board of managers.

TORPEDD FAILS IN THE TUNNEL New York Officials Dis- cover Defective Me- chanigm. Jerome, State Rallroad Commissioner Baker, Assistant District Attorney Gar- vin and Superintendent ‘Franklin of the railroad to-day made a trip of inspection through the tunnel in which the disaster oceurred last Wednesday. A thorough ex- amination of the tunnel was made, in- cluding the working of the block signal system. Tests were made also of the dis- tance. at which lights could be seen through smoke and steam in the tunnel. The officials found the atmosphere fair. ly clear most of the way, but at Ninety- sixth street they were enveloped in a cloud of smoke and steam sSo dense that nothing could be seen. On the return trip the tunnel was clear. At Sixty-third street the green light showed plainly, that being the precautionary signal before en- tering the block below, and the observa- tion engine slowed up until the red danger light was seen at Fifty-ninth street. The bell rang, but the torpedo did not explode. The engine was stopped, and the officials explained that the little Mogul, or obser- vation engine, was not heavy enough nor its wheels large enough to explode the torpedo asia big passenger locomotive would do, - ¥ ey According to the Evening Post, the tor- pedo went into position alongside the rail automatically and should have been cut and. exploded by the flange on the wheels of the engine. After a consultation it was decided to bring up a heavier switch engine of the same size as the passenger engines. he engine came up, the little observa- tion engine was run out of the way, and -the larger engine was brought through the block. Again the torpedo failed to explode. Four more times the big loco- motive was run through the block and not once did the torpedo explode. The railroad officials explained this by saying that the mechanism throwing the torpedo into place had been pressed out of order, so that the flange of the wheels did hot touch the torpedo. After the inspection of the tunnel, Dis- trict Attorney Jerome announced that he would not oppose an application for the release of Engineer Wiskar on $10,000 bail. This_action, he said, was the result of the investigation, which showed the au- thorities that a charge of murder ‘in the first degree could not be made against the engineer. The charge that could be made, he explained, was manslaughter in the second degree. The surgeons at Bellevue Hospital said to-day that Thomas P. Murphy, whose leg was amputated last night as a result of injuries received in Wednesday’s tun- nel accident, had rallied from the opera- tion and 'had good chances of recovery. Arthur Whitely, who was scalded and hurt internally, was in a critical condition to-day. He is'18 years old and was em- ployed as a clerk. ~ Albert Wadley of New Rochelle, who had both legs fractured, improved during the night. Three of those hurt—George Winter, Winfield Schultze and A. E. W. McCray— were not improved to-day. Winter was burned, his left leg was fractured and he suffered much from shock. He is not yet out of danger. Schultze and McCray were badly burned and each has a broken leg. A. W. Adams, the carriage manufacturer of this city, was better to-day. The New York Central will change its motive power in the Park-avenue tunnel within a year. Electricity will be substi- tuted for steam on all local trains, and as zoon as possible trunk-line trains will be hauled into and out of the Grana Cen- tral station by less dangerous methods. An extra force of experts has been added to the large force of electricians, and these have been at work within the tun- nel since Wednesday’s accident, trying to devise satisfactory plans for a speedy change. CHEYENNES DANCE | FOR THE WARPATH Suicide of Three Indians Stirs the Lame Deer Agency Reds to Anger. BUTTE, Mont.,, Jan. 10.—A special to the Miner from Forsythe says further word has been received giving the detalls of the trouble among the Cheyenne In- dians_at Lame Deer Agency. It appears that Indian White, after refusing to obey the summonds of the post agent, opened fire upon the goeue sent to arrest him, shot one of the Indian policemen and then killled himself. Out of respect for her dead brave the wife, and also the daugk- ter, committed suicide. This tragedy caused the greatest excite- ment among the Cheyennes. There is one troop of cavalry stationed at the Lame Deer Agency and reinforcements have been sent for. There is no direct method of communication with the agency and information is difficult to obtain. The stage driver who arrived at Forsythe to- nlgfit brought word that the Cheyennes were still troublesome and that the braves of the tribe were conducting their war dances.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—District Attorney HILL PLEADG FOR RAILROADS Great Northern President Speaks About Con- solidation. g FARGO, N. D., Jan. 10.—President James J. Hill of the Great Northern Ralil- way this afternoon addressed the Tri- State ~ Association of Grain and Cattle this week. The crowd to-day was very large and included farmers and business men from all parts of Minnesota and both Dakotas. Hill opened with a few words of praise for the farmers, saying that “the future welfare of the country depends more upon the wise disposition of the public domain, S0-as to secure homes for the people, than upon any other single condition in the natfon.”” He discussed the need of action to’ secure more markets for the surplus of products, controlling the action of .other nations in that respect. After speaking of the development of the North- west he said he thought one kind of “community of interest” which really ex- isted was that between the producer of tonnage and the carrier; the land and its products and the railroads will either prosper together or be poor together. Much is being said, he declared, about combination between railroads and com- petition. The law of the survival of the fittest must inevitably end such compe- tition as exists by the destruction of the weaker by the stronger. This has already been done in he East. He said in part: Reduction of the Rates. Twenty-five years ago it was supposed that competition was necessary to reduce rates. I think that we have shown in the Northwest that without competition rates have re- duced faster than anywhere else in the country. There, has recently been an attempt to show that we have no interest in the building up of the prosperity of the people of your State and of the Northwest. If we did not do everything in our power to build you up we would be false to our best interests. Our object In acquiring the Burlington jointly with the Northern Pa- cific Rallway was to Insure an outlet to the Dbest markets for the grain, livestock and lum- ber for the Northern States and to increase the volume of our‘traffic to the end that we might at all times be able to establish the lowest rates and most favorable conditions under which tratfic must be carried. The Burlington, with its own rails, reaches Chicago, Peoris, Rock Island, Davenport, Quincy, Alton, Hannibal, St. Louls, St. Joseph, Kansas City, Des Moines, Omaha and Denver, and connects with the main arteries of traffic of the whole country. Assuming that the line of the Burlington had not been constructed and that the Great North- ern and Northern Pacific jointly had raised the money and were engaged in the construction of it, would there be anything to meet the disap- proval of the States traversed by the line of tre Great Northern and' Northern Pacific? On the contrary, would not such a course have been hailed with approval as a means of opening up markets for Northwestern produce and of reaching markets in the South and Southwest and_of securing business, increasing the vol- ume of the traffic of the Great Northern ard the Northern Pacific, thus making reduction of rates and adding to the general prosperity of the Northwest? Instead of building the Bur- lington system, or a line of railway alongsice it, the Great Northern and Northern Pacific purchases. the capital stock of a line already constructed. Instead of issuing stock or bonds for the purpose of raising money for buildirg a line reaching the same country, bonds were issued to purchase the stock of a constructed line. Privileges of the Public. The capital stock of rallway companies, as of other corporations, will be held by somebody and somewhere. Railway companies as car- riers are subject to supervision and control by the public for the purpose of insuring the per- formance of their obligations to the public. The capital employed in railre construction is made public. Rallroads make public through published rates the price charged for trans- tion, the only thing they have to sell, and must report the amount they receive for What they sell and what has been done with it. Courts are open for the purpose of determin- ing whether rallway companies as carriers ob- serve their obligations to the public. The question of the reasonableness of rates and iservice does not depend upon whether one man “owns capital stock of a rallway or an- other; whether the capital stock is owned by ten men or one thousand, by persons or by cor- porations. The capital stogk of a railway com- pany s personal property to be sold, trans- ferred from one man to another any one may purchase and hold all that he has the means to buy and pay for. The capital stock of the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern ‘will be held by somebody, persons or corpora- tions, if not by the present owners by other owners. Suppose by death of present owners the stock should be scattered and a majority of it finds its way Into the hands of those interested in competing lines serving the counfry to the south of the territory served by the Great Northern and Northern Pacific? Would the peo- ple along the lines of these railways be bene- fited if the present owners of a majority of the of the two companies could be compelled to sell or dispose of it on the markets? Would it fall into hands more interested in the devel- opment and In the prosperity of the Northwest than {ts present owners? How is it that the lines have been extended and improved? What brought about the present condition of pros- perity of the two companies? What en- abled them to serve the people along the line as they have been served? Plainly the willing- ness and the ability of those controlling la-ge interests of the stock of the company who found it to their advantage to build up the lines and to promote the settlement of the ter- ritory tributary to it will continue it. | Condition of Railroads. Hill called attention to the former high rates on the Great Lakes and how North- western railroads had established new lines and forced reductions in rates from the East and by means of new elevators had compelled lower rates there also. After further touching on rate reducticns he said: The conditions of the general rallroad situa- tion in the United States at the present time ily understood. Growers, which has been in session here | DIL OVERRUNS TES FIELD Gusher of Remarkable Volume Found Near Columbia. Special Dispatch to The Call AUSTIN, Tex., Jan. 10.—The discovery of oil yesterday, near Columbia, Tex.. in an entirely new fleld, situated about 150 miles west of the Beaumont oil district, has caused intense excitement throughout the State. Thomas Wardell arrived here to-day direct from the new well. He says it is a genuine gusher and flowing at least 30,00 barrels of oil per day. It was not completed when the oil stream burst forth, and it is thought that had it been well cleaned and baled the flow would amount to twice the present output, as it is an eight-inch hole. The ofl has not yet been tested, but it has the appear- ance of being of the same character as the Eeaumont ofl. Former Governor J. 8. Hogs, who owns 2 one-eighth interest in the new well, rived here to-day after a three months’ absence in New York. He received tele- grams this évening confirming Wardell's stutement as to the amount of the dow of the well. Hosg is enthusiastic over the rich sirike. It means that he is ona of the richest men in the country, as he owns in fee simple 270 acres of land of the 400 acres comprising the elevation on which the ofi is found. Hogg said tc-night that he had <cld land in the Beaumont fleld for $300,000 per acre, and he considered the new oil land which he holds just as valuable. At this rate the discovery near Columbia means an increase of Hogg's wealth to the ex- cnt of more than 380,000,000 This is ex- clusive of 14,000 acres adjoining the new well, on which Hogg and his associates have a lease. Hogg says that this discov- ery is of much greater importance than the Beaumont oil discovery. The new fleld is only eighteen miles from the water rort of Velasco. Hogg denied the published report that he has disposed of any of his interests in the Beaumont oil fleld to the Standard Oil Company. He said he sold a part of his gnerests there to English capitlists for SLEEPING PASSENGERS MIRACULOUSLY ESCAPH MATTOON, Il., Jan. 10.—The fast Westbound express on the Big Four,with eight coaches fillled with sleeping passen- gers, had a miraculous escape from being wrecked early to-day two miles west of this city. The axle on the engine broke and the drive wheel was hurled into Lhe ditch while the train was going fifty miles an hour. The engineer by dquick work succeeded in checking the train and tha engine remained on the track. Railroad men say the avoldance of a wreck under such circumstances is unheard of. Mail in Pneumatic Tubes. WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—Representa- tive Roberts of Massachusetts to-day in- troduced a bill authorizing the Postmas- ter General to contract for pneumatie tube mail service in New York, Brooklyn, Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Louis and Bos- ton, and fixing the routes for the service and the limit of cost for each route. @ i of that difference. During that period of eleven years, notwithstanding the enormous increase in ,four fled truni lines bave through destructive competition fatled and then reorganized. and all but one of them have been absorbed by the stronger surviving lines. Destructive competition has forced the ‘weakest lines into bankruptcy and to-day they are owned by the lines that were able to main- tain their position and credit, giving the ability to_acquire these bankrupt roads. The Baltimore and Ohio and the Pennsylvania for haif a century have been rival roads. Both States and cities actively aided in bufiding them up—destructive competition between them has the line of the On the contrary the first step has been to fur- nish money to cut down the grades, double track the llne from the Ohio River to Chi 0 and to furnish cars and facilities to handle the business at best advantage and at such rates as will enable the shippers along the line to increase their business in every h of trade and to rely upon a solvent company for the facilities necessary to transact their ness.
