MAKES

COMPLAINT

AGAINST THE STATE OF INDI ANA FOR FAILURE TO ENFORCE The Law Which Requires Abandoned Gas and Oil Wells to Be Securely Plugged. Railroads in general that cross or traverse the Indiana oil field, and the Chicago, Cincinnati & Louisville railroad in particular, have grievances against the State of Indiana for its alleged failure to properly enforce the law which requires abandoned gas and oil wells to be plugged. The salt in the water clings to the sides of boilers and there is a chemical action that brings about damages to the inner linings, causing leakages. For a year past the C, C. & L. officials have been seriously troubled with leaky locomotives. Several new ones, just from the Baldwin works, were pressed into service and within a few weeks were leaking quite as badly as the older ones. Complaints to the manufacturers brought back the response that there wras something in the water used that was doing the damage. The C, C. & L. officials have been looking into the matter and find that the L. E. & W. and other railroads that traverse the oil belt have suffered the same experience. The matter has been reported to the State inspector of gas. wells, who has informed the C, C. & L. that a formal - com4 plaint should be registered in order that the companies may be proceeded against. Many of the water tanks of the C, C. & L. are located along the right of way in the midst of the oil fields. Salt is found in most of the tanks. The C, C. & L. has extended its passenger service through to Griffith, Ind. This opens up forty-one miles of the new line beyond North Judson and puts trains into the very outskirts of Chicago. The new towns reached are English Lake, Runnymede LaCrosse, Maiden, Beatrice, Merrillville and Griffith. Work along the entire C, C. & L. line is being pushed forward with the greatest expedition and it is a question of only a short time until the through service between Cincinnati and Chicago will hie established.

The New York Sun said yesterday: "To state the Sun's position ar.d its reasons thenjfor requires no lv.etaphysicaL subtlety of explanation. The main consideration is as broad as the nation's interests. As the course is now made up, we prefer, the impulsive, candidate of the party of couveivatism to the mildly conservative, tem porizing, opportunist representative of the Hun vote in the background. "We have more faith in the distinct promises of the Chicago platform, not isrnorinjr the manv serious defect ot that document, than we have in the miserable hellbroth of dishwater and dynamite oncocted at St. Louis by a party afraid to renounce its criminal follv and tasted yesterday at hsopus by a respectable candidate, who -de clares with gusto that its flavor is ad mirable! "We shall, therefore, advocate the election of Roosevelt and Fairbanks. and advise the defeat of Parker and Davis, preserving our own absolute independence of organic control and our freedom of judgment as to every specific question ' occurring. ( And may the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt's present mood continue, and if he is elected may the discourager of precipitancy stand always at his elbow! "In the politics of the Empire State, so far as they concern State matters, we. shall support the candidate, whatever may be the partisan designation of his ticket, who sterns to us the more likely to give the people of New York the honest and competent administration their public affairs so grievously need and to wipe out the shame and evil of existing gross conditions at Albany."
