[Special to The Indianapolis News.] MARION, Ind., September 27.—The operators throughout the oil regions that have not aufflclsnt gas to supply them with fuel to run their pumping and drilling wells, are confronted by a hard proposition, owing to the price and scarcity of coal.

[Special to The Indianapolis Newa.I GREENCASTLE, Ind., September 27.—A new phase of stock raising has been undertaken by Dr. O. W.

The animals Dr. Bence now has are all registered does from a Texas goat ranch, and all are of fine breeding.

They eat grass only as a ionic, or as a last resort when other food fatla The Angoras produce the commercial mohair, which Is from five to fourteen Inches long, and of extreme fineness, bringing from 40 cents to 22 In market per pound. The anlmala altogether lack the common goat's habit of Jumping, and are extremely gentle and easy to work with. There are only some 20.000 registered does In this country, but their breeding Is an Industry that Is rapidly growing, on account of the great cheapness In feeding them.

One Committee Outspoken In Views—The Negro In Congress' Prosperity of the Country.
[SpKlal to Th, Indianapolis New,.] TERRE HAUTE. Ind., September 27.The committee on "The State of the Country" of the Indiana Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church, emulated the example of Bishop Grant when It prepared Us report, the result being an Instance of plain speaking. The address corresponds to the platform In a political convention. On the opening day of the conference. Bishop Grant warned the delegates against discussing politics, and he told of the Iowa conference, over which he had presided, when It was proposed to tell the negroes of Alabama which party ticket to vote. The bishop 'has made ■overal addresses since then, and he has been very plain spoken. The Indiana address began by discussing lynching* which, It was said, are the result of the old doctrine of elaveholding days that "a negro ha* no rights a white man Is bound to respect.” Desires to be Let Alone. The address adds that whatever may by the negro's antecedents, all he dasires Is to be let alone to work out his own salvation. "If you see him going to Congress, let him alone; If he can stand Congresa, Congress can stand him.” The address discusses the prosperity of the country and this sentence went through without objection: "In spite of the disadvantages of a protective tariff, which tends to restrict foreign trside. our exports Increase from year to year."

"Rather too early In the season for yachting, Is It not?’’ said Mr. Morton, but his face lit up at the thought. He was a famous yachtsman. "It Is fine and warm to-day, but it may be disagreeable Mon-
day.”
"If It Is bad weather we can meet at your office. If It Is tine we will go on the yacht,” suggested Hestor. "If the weather Is favorable I see no reason why we should not accept your Invitation,” said Mr. Morton. "We will wait and see. I will let you know by 2 o’clock Monday afternoon if we decide to go on your yacht. Good-day." On Fr:dav Hestor received a telephone message from Sidney Hammond announcing hie return from Chicago. Hestor at once addressed him

CHAPTER XH.
SPRINGING THE TRAP. Walter B. Hestor explained the details of the proposed newspaper trust to Mr. Palmer J. Morton on Monday, April 24, as has been narrated. He awaited word from the great financier with some Impatience. and wo* delighted, the following Friday, to receive a note from Mr. Morton stating that he would be glad to see him at 4 o'clock that afternoon. Heetor was there punctually. "I have briefly explained your project to Andrus Carmody, John M. Rockwell, Simon Pence and R. J- Kent," said Mr. Morton, without any preliminary conversation. "Mr. Kent has agreed to broach the subject to Mr. Haven. I And that none of us have pressing engagements for next Monday afternoon after banking hours. They expressed a willingness to listen to your plans at that time. If duch will suit your convenience.” Hestor was cool as Ice. He thought a moment, calmly consulted a memorandum book, and stated that he had only an unimportant engagement which readily could
be postponed.

and I are very proud of her.”
With Hestor a* guide they proceeded to make a thorough examination of the magnificent steam yacht. The “Shark" was 225 feet over all. 187 feet on the water line, twenty-six feet beam and eleven feet draught. She represented the beet product of the designer a genius and the acme of mechanical and engineering skill. Her twin screws were driven by two tripleexpansion engines. Her engine-room was a delight to the man who loves machinery. It was a poem In polished steel, burnished braes, mahogany and yellow pine. Two electric dynamos bussed In a minor key as they generated the current for the hundreds of Incandescent globes scattered In lavish profusion In all parts of the yacht. From stem to stern the hull of the "Shark" was of steel, with collision bulkheads and water-tight compartments. She was provided with a steam capstan, steam steering gear and carried four boats — a thirty-two-foot naphtha launch, a 22-foot gig, a 16-foot cutter and a 12-foot dinghy. All of these, with tha, exception of the more plebeian dinghy, were ilnIshed In mahogany and mounted with braes and nickel trimmings. The decks of the yacht were of white pine and the bulwark* were capped with polished teak. The forward deck-house was finished In black swamp oak. A buffet glistened with cut glass and silver and gold plate. The massive mahogany dining table had room for twenty guests.

For reasons sufficiently obvious, you will kindly light a cigar with this note and maintain your habitual secrecy as a friend and a lawyer. I remain, dear Sidney Sincerely yours, WALTER B. HESTOR To this letter Hestor received a reply cceptlng the Invitation and oongratuatlng him on the evident prospects of the “trust," and expressing a lively curiosity ns to Its suoject and object. The Monday selected by Mr. Palmer J. Morton for a conference between his business associates and the representative of the New York Record was a perfect day, as has been stated in this history. Mr. Hestor was not Burprlsed when the financier called him on the telephone and Informed him that the Invitation for a trip and a dinner on the "Shark" was accepted. Mr. Morton said that he had notified Messrs. Kent, Pence and Haven to meet at his office at about 4 o’clock, and that he would escort them through Battery Park to the pier, the location of which was perfectly familiar to Mr. Morton. “It will be unnecessary for you to provide carriages," added Mr. Morton. "It Is but a short walk from my office to the landing and we will need all the exercise we can get. If you will attend to Mr. Rockwell and Mr. Carmody I

"In an emergency we can drive her twenty-three knots an hour," said Mr. Hestor. He looked at a gauge. "We are now running about eighteen knots, but 1 told Captain Waters we were in no hurry. She runs very smooth at eighteen
knots. Don’t you think so?"
"Smooth as a watch," sold Mr. Kent. "You have a fine crew, Mr. Hestor. They seem to b»' under excellent discipline. You must Introduce us to Captain Waters. He appears to be the Ideal of a marine offi-

"Y'ou shall meet him.” replied Hestor with a queer sort of smile. "He Is the best captain that ever paced a bridge. Captain Waters has been In the employ of our family for thirty years.

Mr. Hestor replied that he would ar range with Mr. Rockwell and Mr. Carmody to meet either at Mr. Morton’s office or to proceed directly to the yacht. This terminated the conversation over tbe telephone. Hestor then called Mr. Rockwell on the telephone. That gentleman stated that he had an appointment to meet Mr. Carmody at his office at i o'clock, and said that If Mr. Hestor would call for them at about 4 o'clock, they would be pleased to accompany him. This was sgreed to. At this hour the Hestor carriage, with the old family coachman on the box, stood in front of the Carmody building, and a few minutes later the three gentlemen were on their way to the boat. They found that Mr. Morton and his party had arrived, as had Mr. Sidney Hammond, who was acquainted with the members of
the group of capitalists.
"Mr. Hammond Is my attorney as well as my friend," said Mr. Hestor, “and he may be able to throw light on any legal complications that may arise during our
conversation."
"I have not had an opportunity to discuss this matter at any length with Mr. Hestor,” said Sidney Hammond, with per-
EQUAL PARTNERS
BY HOWARD FIELDING
"Equal Partners” Is one of the best stories written by Howard Fielding, who is known throughout tho United States as a writer of delightful newspaper fiction. * In “Equal Partners" he has not only written a captivating, but an exceedingly strong story of mystery. The high-water mark of artistic literary expression is reached In this story. The author appears from the beginning to be trying to find out the secret which he Is really concealing with consummate skill, and which he does not reveal until the end. i The scene of the story Is laid In New York. Tho author’s familiarity with metropolitan life, gained from long newspaper experience, enables him to give a graphic picture of New York police. He knows his subject and paints from life. Howard Fielding, whose real name is Charles W. Hooke, Is a native of Maine, and a graduate of Harvard. He adopted newspaper work as his profeesion after leaving college and for the last ten yeaxs has been engaged In newspaper work In New York. He first used a nom de plume for the purpose of concealing the authorship of a series of humorous newspaper sketches which made his pen name widely known. Some years ago he began to devote his attention to the writing of stories of mystery which added to his fame. I I I I M-H-M t 1 1 1-H

Below decks were the various state■ooma; the main saloon, the engine-room, galley, officers' quarters and berths for the crew. There were eight large staterooms fitted with every convenience and luxury that money can purchase or Ingenuity devise. These rooms were finished In white and gold. The fight from innumerable electric globes was subdued by shades of opalescent glass, which extended around the walls and celling on three sides ot these staterooms. There was no glare, but a powerful and pleasing glow of fight permeated the rooms, as If from some unknown source. Brass bedsteads of generous width looked Inviting In their downy softness and each stateroom was provided with a bathroom In white and delft blue tile. The walls of these various apartments contained rare paintings, etchings auid engravings, while th# floors were laid with Wilton carpets and ruga. . Ths main saloon was a spacious room, finished in leather and rosewood. Money had been lavished on this room with a free hand. Securely fastened In niches were appropriate pieces of statuary.

"Bob.” exclaimed Mr. Hestor, "go and aak the steward when dinner will be ready. Sidney, there, looks as If he could eat a Mrd and not know It." "I will confess that I am hungry,” said Mr. Hammond. "This sea air Is a great

'•You need not worry, Sidney, there will be plenty," Mr. Hestor replied. "We have provisions on board to lant for two months If necessary." Again he smiled In a queer sort of way. and astounded the company by suddenly retiring to the corner of the saloon, where he performed

“This Is pure madness!" exclaimed Hammond, looking Hestor firmly In the eyes, as If to read hts thoughts or fathom the purpose of his nld-gime friend. He no longer regarded Hester's words as a Joke, lie did not believe him drunk. With the exception of Mr. Kent, the guests had arisen from their chairs. Tneir faces wire a otudy for an artist. Mr. Rockwell was In a rage, and nervously grasped a heavy decanter, as If to use It as a weapon. In this moment of silence, the steady throbbing of the engines, the musical swash of the water as the boat glided placidly along, the faint hum of the dynamos, all seemed accentuated. A few boat lengths away the rows of fights from a west-bound steamer looked, as Kipling says, "like a long hotel.” Her passengers were plainly seen waving handkerchiefs, and the murmur of their voices, happy In the thought of the end of a voyage, sounded In the ears of the
