"Eight of Way" to Pass Through
South Bend, LaPorte, and Hammond.
(SpeHal to Lake County Times.)
LaPorte, Ind., Oct. 14. A movement
has taken form to build a roadway for the- exclusive use of automobolists which Is to run from Indiana, via South Bend, LaPorte and Hammond, Into Chi
cago. The idea of such a speedway de
veloped at tha recent session of the county commissioners of the state, held at Indianapolis, and considerable impetus will be given the project by the
state and national associations of auto mobilists. In discussing the project, automo
bllists say the highway should be from twelve to fifteen feet wide, with its use
exclusively confined to the men who run the machines. It is urged that country people would be willing to en
courage appropriations by the counties which the highway would traverse for its construction for the reason that the average farmer would be glad to abate what he terms a nuisance. The project, while yet but little developed,
promises to assume a tangible form
during the winter months.
Dubuque, la., Oct. 14. The fact that
$50,000 of the Russell Sage millions will go to the heirs of Edekal Oliphant is furnishing an interesting them cf conversation in this vicinity.
The Oilphants, now residents of Des
Moines, formerly made their home in
Dubuque county, later purchasing a
farm In Jones county.
The story on which the payment of
the sum named rests dates bade more
than sixty years. The debt was om which the lapse of years had wipod out o far as legal responsibility w.is cocerned. About the year 1844 there was
a partnership in the salt business be
tween Joseph (afterwards General) Slocum and Ezekal Oliphant at Syra
cuse, IV 1. 1 he business did not pros
per and in settling up the affairs of the concern $2,000 belonging to Oliphant
was applied on the accounts.
Slocum remained in New York istste
and Oliphant, with his family, caire west. The eldest daughter of Mr. Slo
cum became the second wife cf Russell
Sage of New York.
The families lost track of each other
and the old debt of Joseph Slocum remained unpaid. The matter recently presented to Mrs. Sage's attorney a-id she ordered the debt, grown through
Interest from $2,000 to $50,000 dis
charged.

LaPorte, Ind., Oct. 14. The work of
securing a jury to try Florence Gray
for the murder of Frank Brown, her
supposed lover, was resumed this morn
ngr In the LaPorte county superior
court. Judge Tuthlll presiding. Ten
urors were accepted by the state and
defense before court adjourned Friday,
the special venire having been ex hausted. But little difficulty is ex pected today in flllingr the two remain
ng chairs and It Is likely tha state will
have introduced a large part of its evi
dence before court adjourns this even-
ng. Miss Gray Is expected to take
the stand tomorrow and tell the story
of the tragedy.
There is a growing: belief that Miss
Gray Is a former Hammond woman, where she was known under the name
or lieed. It is positively known that two brothers, claiming Hammond as
their place of residence, visited Miss
Gray while she was confined in jail In
mis cuy, wnen it -was stated tnat a Hammond attorney would be retained to assist in the management of the de
fense.

Gerntnna Plan a Canal.
iiritisii pioneers, wno nave bunt up
a large business on the shores of Lake
Victoria Nyanza, aroused the govern
ment to action. They fear not only
the ruination of their business, but that
a canal which the Germans are build
ins in furtherance of their schema will
lower the waters of the lake so as to
seriously affect navigation.
At present trade In this fertile part
of Africa is carried on over the Uganda
railroad, a line subsidized by Great Brit ain. To divert this business to Ger
man ports on the coast the Germane have already built a railway from Pan-
ganl on the coast to the base of Mount
Kilimandparo, of tha border of British
East Africa.
bwamps on the one side ana moun
tain ranges on the other prevent this
line from being continued to Lake Vic
torla Nyanza, but to overcome this dif
ficulty the Germans are digging a canal
through the swamps from a deep lnle
of the lake to the railroad.
Fear Damage From German Canal.
Th canal will h slxtv mil a a lnnc
and the overflow from it will be car- SOllth Bend
rled to the sea by the River Ruvu.
Ordinarily such a work might not be considered a menace, but in the case of
Lane victoria isyanza, experts believe
it win ao great damage to liritisn in teres ts.
The whole matter will be placed before Mr. Churchill, and will doubtless become the subject of diplomatic ne
gotiations between the foreign offices
of London and Berlin.

the spesclfications dealing with the
Nimiez divorce case, Paul BlcKenrord and Thomas Moss slot machine cases, the Koppenhaver gambling case, the
Pinkerton case, the Minnie Palmer and Trixie Howard case, and the notorious "Red" Austin case.
What Caused the Commotion. The release of "Red" Austin, who had
swindled a farmer out of several thou
sand in a fake foot race, and his subsequent release at South Bend, caused
a commotion throughout the state. Many
stories about the connection of Kurtz
with the case were circulated. Kurtz was not in the eourt room when the finding of the Jurors was read. The only specifications on which the Jury
refused to find Kurtz guilty were the
delinquent dog tax matters, the Barr-
Pillar case and the Pejz case, on
which no evidence was offered, the one
dog tax case on which the committee also offered no testimony. Will Ask a Xew Trial. The trial has occupied the greater part of three weeks, to say nothing of the months devoted to obtaining evidence. The members of the committee appointed TV. G. Crabill, F. E. Lambert and Fred C. Gabriel, received numerous congratulations when the Jury's finding became known. Attorneys for Kurtz will ask for a new trial, and if this is denied the case will be carried to the supreme court. And There May Me Others. The Jury's verdict has caused consternation in official circles and among other members of the St. Joseph county bar, it being announced that if a
verdict against Kurtz was obtained action would be started against others In the profession, who. It Is alleged, are
guilty of acts equally as bad as those
allaged to have been committed by Kurtz. The committee Is also taking into consideration the filing of criminal proceedings against the former prosecutor.
