DREADNAUGHT, "DELAWARE," 20,000 TONS.

TWO LITTLE TOTS HAD AUDVEIITURE Disappear from Home, but Finally Located A Mystery Is Involved. Manifesting neither fatigue nor worry, but much anxiety as to whether they could get something to eat, little three year old Dorothy Dayton and year and a half old Grace McKinley, stopped at the pest house on Friday evening about 7 o'clock after a three mile journey from their homes on North I street. Mrs. William Shinn, to wbom the requests for food were made took them In. washed and fed them and then called up the police where already anxious inquiries had been made by the parents. When the. parents arrived both the children were sleeping soundly, apparently just as content as though in their own homes. Just how the children could have made the trip by themselves is a mystery to their parents and police. They believe the children must have been carried a part of the way at least and are inclined to believe that strangers took them" dropping . thenxneax - the detention hospital ' because -of fear of being arrested for kidnappers. So far the children have been unable to explain satisfactorily to their parents how they made the trip and this fact gives rise to the theory that the trip was" not their own undertaking alone. The Dayton child is the daughter of Henry Dayton, for whom the police and his family have searched in vain for nine months. They have been inclined to believe he was murdered and bis body buried somewhere near the city, but their search of possible places where he might have been buried has been fruitless. There is no known reason why he should have left his home. TAKING LONG WALK Kentucky Woman, 70 Years, Passes Through City. Ellen McLaughlin, 70 years, a tall, active woman, from Petersburg, Ky., stepped into police headquarters last evening and asked for a place to sleep. She Bald she had started to Indianapolis, but had "gone broke," and now was working her way. She has been walking since she left Oxford, O., making the trip from that city here in three days. The woman, who stepped off this morning with a pace that would have amazed even Weston, said she had many relatives in Indianapolis and she wanted to visit them. She has always lived' an outdoor life, and did not seem to consider the Indianapolis hike" much of a feat. ARE SELLING WOOL County Farmers See a Drop in the Price. The action of the house of representatives in passing a bill lowering the wool tariff already has h.ad Its effect in Wayne county; where the farmers, instead of holding the wool crop for better prices, have disposed of their entire crop. Farmers figured that in case the senate passed the house bill the market for the raw material in the United States would take quite a decided slump and rather than take chances sold their wool at once. At the warehouse of Clendenin & Company on Ft. Wayne avenue, there are 160,000 pounds of wool baled, ready for shipment. It will require sixteen box cars to transport .the wool to the factories. MISSING YOUTH HAS NOW BEEN LOCATED Clarence Gagen who recenUy left home for parts unknown has written to his parents from Tennessee that he is on his way to Colorado. His desire to see the west, he said, was the cause t3X leaving the city so suddenly,

"If the 'key is produced," declared Chief Justice Olson of the municipal courts, who is chairman of the com mission, "the matter will be subject to a special grand jury action. "There may be an idea that the report would only expose Chicagoans of means who pose as members of good society on incomes derived from the rental of houses for immoral purposes, but others other Jekyls and Hydes, in other cases will be . exposed. It contains - evidence of 200 . policemen and other officials." r Other members of the commission declared that the report contained dynamite, but that if it really were wanted for prosecutions it would be produced quickly enough.

GIGANTIC

MERGER

OF RAILROADS IS ILLEGITIMATE Federal Court at St. .Paul Calls Combination of Union Pacific and Southern Pacific Legal One. RULING ENTERED IS NOT UNANIMOUS ONE Judge Hook Dissented from Majority Opinion Read by Judge Adams Government Was the Plaintiff. (National News Association) . St Paul, June 24. Edward H. Har riman's gigantic merger of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads was not a combination in restrain of trade, according to a decision announced by the United States circuit court of appeals today. The majority opinion was read by Judge Adams while Judge Hook dissented. "The proof shows that after 1901 as well as before, the rates for .transcontinental traffic were the same over both lines," says the opinion. "There has since then been, with respect to both these lines, no impairment of service, no deterioration of physical properties no discontinuance of efforts to satisfy the public and no complaints of shippers of inferior or inadequate service." No Complaints Made. The decision goes on to say, "The large number of initial carriers, striving for that traffic, have continued an active solicitation for the business over the line which assured them of the longest haul or otherwise benefited them most, and although some agents of the two roads which, before 1901 were separate, are now joined, they have continued to exercise their Influence to secure business for either road, according to its availability and always in opposition to their other active : competitors - like the Santa ; Fe and the Denver, and ', Rio Grande roads. ' '' ' "A substantial majority of the stock of the Southern Pacific has been delivered by parties, other than the Union Pacific company, but we fail to find any complaint by such holders of any discrimination against their road or of any failure to properly promote its welfare. None of the minor points charged of having been deprived of competitive opportunities by the Huntington purchase are shown to have suffered from the result of that purchase. "On the contrary hundreds of millions of dollars have, since 1901, been expended on those roads. Their physical condition has been vastly improved and their efficiency for public service, as well as for private profit, has been greatly enhanced. The whole proof taken together, we think, fails to disclose any conspiracy to restrain either interstate or foreign commerce in violation of the first section of the act. No Evidence of Combination. "The same considerations lead to the conclusion that no combination or conspiracy to monopolize or attempt to monopolize trade or commerce among states or with foreign nations was entered into. Moreover, the fact that the Union Pacific company did not secure control of the Santa Fe road, a thoroughly sufficient, well equipped and powerful rival for transcontinental business or the Denver and Rio Grande road, a potential and later an actual and powerful rival for the same business, affords the additional and conclusive evidence of no such combination or conspiracy. "The purchase by the Union Pacific company soon after acquiring the Huntington stock or the majority of the capital stock of the Northern Pacific company tends to the opposite conclusion but in view of the main reason for its acquisition and of other facts just referred to as well as to the total cessation o any relations between that road and the Union Pacific we are indisposed to give to that purchase alone, any considerable significance. "The conclusion of facts already stated, dispose of this case without necessity of determining the question much debated in the brief and argument, whether or not the securing of the control of the Southern Pacific company by purchasing th stock of the individual owners could in any view of the case have contravened the anti-trust law. On the facts of this case, with all their reasonable and fair inferences, we conclude the government has failed to substantiate the averments of its bill." Two Other Decisions. Simultaneously decisions, favoring the railroads were handed down in the Salt Lake and St. Louis courts. The case therefore is dismissed. One particular point of Judge Hook's dissenting opinion "was based on the belief that the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads were more active competitors prior to the merger In 1901, than afterwards, and that two lines in a broad geographical and legal IConUaued on.

The senate Democratic - leaders said today they expected an early conference of the Democratic senators to agree to some program on reciprocity and tariff. They said the time hr.d not been fixed but this would be a practicable way to arrive at some understanding. That the outcome will be a decision to pass the reciprocity agreement without any change is practically certain. Sena tor Stone of Missouri, was even more emphatic than ever today in declaring the agreement must not be amended. "It must be pased without the crossing of a "T" or the dotting of an "I," said stone." After that is done we can turn our attention to other tariff matters."

DOUBLE TRACKING OF THE RICHMOllf) DIV, CONSIDERED

Pennsylvania, Following the Example of the C. & O. of Indiana, Is Expected to Make Improvements. AN INSPECTION OF -LINE BEING MADE P. R. R.

With the C. & O. of Indiana railroad, a subsldary line of the Chesapeake and Ohio svsteni: activity fnraerf 1b its plans for double - tracking and . straightening its line between Cincinnati and Chicago, officials of the Richmond division of the Pennsylvania) railroad are considering similar plans for tliat line, emphasizing the fact that the Pennsylvania road is beginning to consider the younger line in the light of an important competitor. Pennsylvania officials are inspecting the line and are having estimates made as to the probable cost of double tracking between Cincinnati and Logan sport and it is considered more than likely the stbckholders in the near future will vote an appropriation of several million dollars with which to carry out these plans.' At the same time the road is double tracked, the fed bad grades will be eliminated by the making of fills and cuts. The C. & O. of Indiana is making excellent progress in double tracking and reducing the grades and curves, although no more than the merest details have been started in this county. It is probable it will be two years or so before the work is completed, but whe nit is, it will be quite a different line from wbat it now is. Inasmuch as the younger system has the shortest route into Chicago from Cincinnati "and also has the advjintAirA nf havnr 'Airttot. rnnnoittnn with the C. & O. system proper, it has the "jump" on the Pennsylvania lines in some ways in both the passenger and freight business, even though tho Pennsylvania system now handles th greater portion of the business.
