Telegraph News by Direct Wire from All Over Indiana Frankfort, Ind., Dec. C. Today Is what is known as "liquor day" in the county commissioners' court here, and one of the greatest tights ever made against the saloon in any county is beins waged by M. F. Goldsberry, attorney, of Colfax. Back of Goldsberry's ftght against the Faloon i3 a story of heart interest, and tlie efforts of a father to sare his son from filling the grave of a drunkard. lie Went lrom Bad to Worse. A graduate of a law school, admitted to practice at the Clinton county bar, Ben Goldsberry acquired the drink habit and vent from bad to -worse until he became known ati tho terror of i the town, and some of his estapades would have done credit to the -wild west. When drinking he would stop Hi nrtthlnff in rwhtnln ll("rr, n1 frequently pawned hl3 clothing. He has threatened tho lives of bis father and other citizens of Colfax. At his last appearance in the court hero, when he whs lined $20 and costs, he was permitted to go on promising to reform. Father Had Been a Saloon Attorney. It was then that his father took an oath to do all he could to rid the town of Colfax of saloons and thus do away with the evil that was daily confronting his son. For years ho had been the attorney of tho saloonkeepers of Colfax, looking after the obtaining of their licenses in the commissioner's court and fighting their battles In tho circuit court j Works for the Other Side. lie turned squarely against them all, prepared a remonstrance and set to work, obtaining within a short time the names of 306 of the legal voters of Ferry township to the paper, more than the necessary two-thirds as required by law, to close every saloon In the tOAvnship for a period of two jenrs. Fighting Traffic. Not Men. The only way in which the saloon men can hope to win is to have enough nimes stricken from the remonstrance to bring the majority down below the necessary two-thirds, and this they will try to do. In making his fight in the effort to save his son, Goldsberry has made it plain that he is fighting the trame and not the men engaged in the saloon trade, his sole object being to reform his son. INDIANA SUES A RAILWAY Charge la That It Ioes Not Properly Utilize the Cara on Its Lines. Indianapolis. Fee. f. State's Attorriy General Charles W. Miller, on behalf of the state railroad commission lias filed suit against the Big Four railroad, charging tho latter with allowing cars to stand on its switches and sidetracks in and near Terre Haute for an unreasonable time,, and that it has refused to receive coal at the rate of several hundreds cars a day from the Fvansvills and Terre Ilautd railway, the Evansville and Indianapolis railroad and the Southern Indiana railroad. Coincident with the filing of this complaint announcement was made that the Big Four railroad had "lifted"' Its coal car embargo nt Terre Haute, which was the main contention. The suit filed charges the Big Four with sending about ."00 cars belonging to these roads to other parts of the state and to points outside of the state, and by refusing to accept cars from the roads named that were billed for Indianapolis and other points has so hampered the three read which depended upon it as to cause them to eenfe delivering cars to the Big Four.

President Cameron, acting on tha advice of counsel, refused emphatically to answer any question relating to the graft scandal, on the grotmd that he might incriminate himself. The hearing was abruptly adjourned by his arrest for contempt and obstruction of justice. Two Men Who Are Missing. District Attorney Stewart stated that Cameron would be tried in quarter sessions court next Monday. On tho srme day a special meeting of the council has been called to appoint an Investigation committee.

Paul Kacy has taken a position as clerk at the Erie yard office. E. L. Alnut, day yardmaster, is layir.g off this week. F. W. Sills is taking his place days. M. Crosby left last night for Hunting-ton, where he spent the evening with iiis parents. G. T. Minish, terminal trainmaster of the Erie Huntington division, was a caller at the local oiUce yesterday. E. II. Morrison, niht chief clerk at the Erie yard office, was on the sick list yesterday. U. Brown is taking F. W. Sills place as night yardmaster, caused by Alnut, the day man, laying oil this week. P. ent the J. Shepson, division superintendof Huntington, was a caller at local Erie office yesterday. Richard Iloland of the Hunting-ton interlocking system was in Hammond today, looking over the plant here and making repairs for the winter. The Erie boys are still looking for the cigars which are on James Enright, chief ch-rk of the Erie, who was married two weeks av:o. Erie train No. 11 was one hour and thirty minutes late last night, and No. 13 was two hours late, caused by a broken rail along the road. It Is now stated that there will be no annual report issued by the interstate commerce commission this year Such a publication involves an outlay of about $100,000, and tha members of the commission are disposed to regard the cost as out of proportion to the value of the date presented. Present indications are that the charge of 50 cents a day for oars which are detained over the allotted time by the railroad agreements is to become general. Seventy of the lead ing roads in the country have entered the agreement and the other roads will doubtless follow In the near fu ture. Erie private car No. 999 arrived In Hammond this morning, being carried here by No. 7 on the Erie. H. O. Dunkle, general manager, and party were In the car. Mr. Dunkle came here from Cleveland, O., on business connected with the road. Erie train No 22 took the car out again. They went from here to New York City, where the party goes on a pleasure trip. Ueneral Passenger Agent Moody of the Pennsylvania lines, west, stated yesterday that permits for ordained ministers would be issued on Central Passenger association lines, the fare under these permits to be two cents a mile. In Ohio the minister will travel at the same rate as any other person, but he will have an advantage of one-half cent a mile in Pennsylvania west of Pittsburg, and in Indiana and Illinois. It was reported in railroad circles yesterday that M. E. Ingalls, chairman of the Big Four directorate and president of the Merchants' National bank, of Cincinnati, would succeed the late Samuel Spencer as president of the Southern railway. When asked last evening about the rumor Mr. Ingalls stated that there was not a word of truth in the gossip and that it was the first he had heard of such a thing. The clerks of the Lake Shore road ask for a horizontal increase of 10 per cent in their pay, but this the company refuses to grant. The increase, however, comes in the shape of a readjustment, some of the clerks getting an Increase 0 10 per cent, some less and some more, and some none at all. It is understood that tho readjustment of wages of the clerical force la contemplated as soon as the basis of wages for the different lines of service can be agreed upon. It is said that the Gifford railroad which now runs to Hebron and Lowell road, is hauling every day from that point an average of five carloads per day of farm products, Including corn, oats, hay and live stock. The new Dinwiddle elevator Is now doing business, which Is a great accommodation to the farmers In that neighborhood. who have heretofore been obliged to haul their crops from five to seven miles. The work of building the road farther has practically stopped until next spring. F. A. Delano, president of the Wa bash, goes farther than James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern road. in the belief that the railroads of this country have not kept pace with the growth of the increase of traffic. Mr Delano shows that from 1S90 to 1905 the miles of main lines Increased 32 2-5 per cent and the total mileage. In eluding yards and siding, increased 47.1 per cent. During the same period the ton miles or treight. which is the total number of tons moved one mil by all rauroaas, increased 14.. 7 per cent. Superintendent J. C. Sullivan of the Wabash has put into effect a new sys tern of discipline for employes which Is In nature of a revision of the svstem which has been In use for the past several years. Hereafter sixty demerit marks against any employe will be sufficient grounds for his dis missal from the service. Employes in the various departments and grades of service upon being advanced to higher positions, as in the case of fireman being promoted, will be started out again with a clear record. Em ployes not receiving demerit marks within a rerlod of six months will be awarded ten merit marks. All rec ords of the employes will be open for examination upon application. The railways of Chicago contemplate making increases in the wages of their employes in the Immediate future which, in the aggregate, will make all increases made on the railroads of the country In the recent past seem small by comparison. Advances are ex pected between now and Jan. 1 which will m i 450,00i will make the combined incomes of the '0 employes of these lines from

125,000,000 to $30,000,000 greater In 1907 than In 1900. The only thing that may prevent the proposed advances between now and the end of the year Is the Inability of the railroads and their trainmen to reach an amicable agreement. The engineers, conductors, firemen, brakemen and other trainmen have asked both for 10 per cent advances and for an eight hour day.

Promotion for Charles I" Daly. Charles F. Daly was elected vice president In charge of passenger traffic of the entire New York Central system, at a meeting of the board of directors in New York. No other man in America ever held the position of vice president of a railroad with exclusive charge of passenger business. Mr. Daly is only 41 yeais old. May Cut Price of Mileage LlookM. The western railways will probably reduce the cost of their mileage books. They hope by so doing they will in some degree mollify the public sentiment which is demanding reductions in passenger fares. The present 2.00 mile book of the Western Passenger association costs $G0, a refund of $19.50 being given for the cover. A proposition to reduce the price of the book to $50 and the refund to f'j.'.O will probably be adopted at a special meeting of the mileage bureau next week. It is also proposed to place on sale a 1,000 mile book for $30, giving a refund of $5. There has been no change in the western mileage book in ten years. "AX OUNCB OF PIIBVBXTION."

Johnstown Disaster Repeated on a Smaller Scale at Clinton, Arizona. MANY PEES0NS ARE DROWNED Dead Numbered All the Way from Eighteen to Sixty. Half the Town at Least Has Been Wrecked by the Flood from a Collapsing Dam of a Concentrator. El raso, Tex.. Dec. o. From information received here it is believed that the town of Clinton, A. T., has been practically washed away. The Copper Queen hotel is said to have been swept away by the Hood and at le:ist fifty persons lost their lives. The concentrator dam, which gave way pm-ipitatlng tho great flood upon the town was constructed entirely of earth. The dam was carried away two years ago as a result of the swollen streams and a number of persons was drowned. Phoenix, A. T., Dec. n. A message from Tucson, A.

EUROPE ON THE MESSAGE What the leading Papers at Some National Capitals Remark. London, Dec. 5. Tho Daily Tele graph says of President Roosevelt's message that the president speaks out resolutely and fearlessly, knowing that the Democracy likes a man who is not afraid to be its master. The Standard says that the most sig nificant feature of the message is that the president is constantly finding himself "up against" the American constitution. The Daily News says the prestident seems to be wrestling with forces he can comprehend, but cannot control. Paris, Dec. 5. The morning papers generally do not comment upon Presi dent Roosevelt s message, but they give to it the most prominent place on their pages and publish dispatches from New York recording the feeling of dissatisfaction over the president's references to the San Francisco situaticn.

Justice For The Railroads Ey J. J. HILL. President Great Northern System

ODAY the entire country is suffering from want of transportation facilities to raovo its business without unreasonable delay. The prevailing idea with the public is that tho railways are short of cars, while tho fact is that TILE

SHORTAGE IS IX TRACKS AND TERMINALS to proyitle a greater opportunity for the movement of tho cars. More cars ? Yes, we need more cars, but wo need also car3 of greater capacity, heavier trains and MORE MILES OF RAILROAD to haul them over. In ten years the railroads of tho country expanded 20 per cent for tho handling of a business that increased 110 TER CEXT. Suppose you are able in the near future to increase that expansion 50 per cent ? That will still leave 40 por cent a year of the business WITHOUT ANY FACILITIES for taking care of it. It is estimated that from 115,000 to 120,000 miles of track must bo built AT OXCE to tako caro of this immenso business. But to build that amount will cost as much as the civil war cost at least. It will cost from $4,000,000,000 to $5,000,000,000. A thousand million dollars a year for five years will scarcely suffice. Vhr, thero is not money enough or rails enough IX ALL THE WORLD to do this thing. And if the rails wero piled up ready for the undertaking, and it the money wero in bank today, it would bo impossiblo to GET THE LAEOR with which to do it. LADOR IN THE MINES, IN THE FOREST, IN THE QUARRY, 13 BEHIND A STONE WALL WHICH IT CANNOT SCALE. There is no question sine the civil war of half tho consequence of this one. Why, you can't go out and contract with any railroad in this country to move 500 cars of freight from St. Paul to New York in thirty days. And the railroad could not deliver it if it should contract to do it. There is not money enough available to bring relief to this situa tion L-DER THE COXDITIOXS EXISTING. Are men going to invest their money in railroads as long as railroads aro considered OUTLAWS? The fact is tho railroad has not been getting justice in this country. Why, in tho recent campaign wo beheld the spectacle of two great political parties preaching tho doctrine of tho operation of the railroads by tho government. The federal government is to run tha main lines they are tho only ones that make any money nowadays and the private investors can have the branch lines, THERE BEING NO PROFIT IN THEM. Is that the way to get men to put more money into tho country's railroads ? Is this the way to get more railroad mileage so that tho country's freight can bo moved ? It is time to CALL A HALT in this treatment of the railroads.

Why, I challenge any one to point some point in its career. MOST OF THEM HAVE HAD HAVE GONE INTO THE HANDS AND A COSTLY FAD, TO GUILD

American Dramatic Art Is In a Poor Way By Dr. LUDWIG FULDA. Eminent German Dramatist and Poet a

N rich America the dramatic art is the POOREST of all tho arts. Public bodies and private citizens vio with one another

IGNORE THE THEATER. They think it is not good enough to deserve subsidies. The drama is on the very lowest rung of the ladder. 4 America has not yet bred a dramatist, and still her theaters prodnco almost entirely home plays light burlesque and comedy, melodrama, spectacular pieces in which revolvers play the chief part. Problem plays are tabooed. Thero is too much of the PRUDE in American playgoers to permit this. Now and again ono hear3 Shakespeare, NEVER SYSTEMATICALLY, and of the best of what Europe produces Americana know next to nothing. Managers go on playing the same piece night after night as long as it fills their coffers. This is love of art I IT STIFLES ART. Then the star system t In tho playbill the name of tho piece u

Nowhere in the world have I

where have I seen such ARTLESS DRAMATIC STAGING and such an artless public.

The men who write for the American stage are to be envied. They need not bother about dramatic technique. IT WOULD RE LOST ON THEIR PATRONS. Their dramatis personae can come and go how and when they like. Motive is not necessary. IN THE LAND OF WONDERFUL MECHANICAL INVENTIONS THE STAGE MACHINERY IS THE MOST PRIMITIVE; EVEN THE MOST ORDINARY APPARATUS IS MISSING.
