C, k 0, OFFICIALS WILUflSIT HERE inspection Party Will Be in Richmond, Sunday to View Holdings. For the purpose of ascertaining the cause of car shortage along the line and to devise some means, if possible, to relieve this situation and to inspect the road, officials of the C. & O. railroad company left Richmond, Va., last evening and intend to extend the inspection trip to Chicago. The officials will pass through this city about noon Sunday. It is likely that they will stop over here for a short time to consult with the local officials. The Improvements on the Chicago division are nearing completion and the party will make comparisons between the present condition of this division and when it was taken over ifroni the C. C. & L. three years ago. Since that time more than $3,000,000 has been spent on the Indiana road. The C. & O. will start a campaign to trace 18,000 freight cars of all kinds that are away from the rails of the company, which owns, 44,000 cars. The officials of the road state that they feel that shippers of the road and Its subsidiaries served are entitled to the use of the cars. Especial effort will be made, it is understood, to get freight cars through the Toledo gateway, where there are signs of congestion similar to that experienced last winter, when an embargo was declared.

ROOSEVELT STILL
MENDS
CONDITION
Began Dictating His Madison Square Garden Speech This Forenoon. 'National News Association) OYSTER BAY, Oct. 23. Col. Rooevelt showed so great Improvement today that his personal physician, Dr. Scurry L. Terrell, expressed the opinion that the Progressive party candidate would be able to take a leading part in the windup of the campaign. He said that all indications pointed to this if the patient would obey the orders of his physicians and thus avoid any setback. The weariness caused by the 1,000 mile trip from Chicago had practically disappeared today as the result of a 9-hour sleep that the colonel secured last night. He awoke shortly after 7 o'clock and asked for a hearty breakfast. "I feel great," announced the expresident; "I know I'll ge along fine now that I am home. That's what I needed, I guess a short while at home after the strain of campaigning." Tho colonel suffered no pain from his wound and when his physicians made an examination they found a great improvement in his condition. The fretfulness that characterized the colonel's stay in the Mercy hospital following his being shot by John Schrank has not asserted itself during the confinement at home. The Progressive leader feels now that patience and absolute rest and quiet are what he needs and he reconciled himself ot the doctor's orders in this regard. The morning papers were brought to him soon after breakfast and he perused them eagerly. Then he read a little from his favorite book, "Haklients Voyages" and summoned his secretary for the purpose of dictating part of the speech he is to deliver at Madison Square Garden on October 30, but this was broken intoby doctors when they came to make their examination. STEAL SCRIP Sullivan and Kelly Arrested on This Charge Today. Mickey Sullivan and Ernest Kelly were arrested this afternoon charged with stealing scrap boiler iron from the M. Rumely company. The police were notified that some men were in the bins back of the factory stealing scrap iron and were rolling it down i the hill back of the plant to the river bottom, where they were placing it ; in kegs. ! Sullivan was arrested on North E street and did not appear to know anything about the charges preferred against him by the company. Kelly said he had merely been picking up ecrap iron which had been discarded ; by the company and was lying in the dump back of the factory. He said Kelly was not with him all day and , that he was in company with a man named King. They will be tried in police court tomorrow morning. LUCILLE CAMERON A WITNESS AGAIN (National News Association) CHICAGO, Oct 23 Lucile Cameron was to resume the stand today and tell her story of her relations with Jack Johnson, the colored heavyweight champion of the world to the federal grand jury. Upon her evidence the government expects to secure an indictment agains the black champion for alleged violations of the Mann act. The girl was recovered today from the hysterical attack which followed two hours auestionine on the stand ,Tuesday when she defied the jurors and prosecutor. All traces of bravado had disappeared today just before she was to be taken to the jury room. While it was said the government did not expect to indict Johnson for bringing the Cameron girl to Chicago her testimony with that of other witnesses was expected to show he had brought other women to Chicago from other states. The city council passed resolutions last night denouncing Johnson and urging the revocation of his license. A BOLD ROBBERY (National Xews Association) CHICAGO, Oct. 23. Attacked within a few feet of their homes at almost the same moment, Mrs. Frances A. I Winslow, whose husband is a board of trade operator, and Mrs. John R. Brice, engaged in desperate hand to hand conflict with robbers to save their valuables. Both women were finally compelled to release their handbags containing watches and money. Their screams attracted a large crowd, some in autos, who aided the police in a vain search for the bandits. WHISKY DID IT Harry Myers, an applicant for lodging at the city building last night, was arrested for vagrancy. He was searched and found to have in his possession a bottle of whisky. He vras locked up and tried in police court this morning. Sentence was deferred until Monday. STEAMSHIP SUNK; SIX ARE DROWNED i I (National News Association') CORPUS CHRISTX Tex.. Oct. 23. !

LIGHT SHED UPON BRIDGEPORT CRIME One Confession Made in the Death of Young Woman in an Automobile.
(National News Association) BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Oct. 23. Mystery surrounding the murder of a young woman after she had been taken from her home in this city into the country near Stratford in an automobile was partly cleared today when Jos. Bunonona, one of the four men arrested shortly after the woman had been shot to death, confessed that he had killed her. Bunonona declared the slain woman was his wife and that he killed her while in a drunken rage. The first theory of the police was that the young woman who was known variously as Rose Bunnis, and Rose White, had been killed to prevent her revealing the inner workings of a white slave system having headquarters in Chicago and New York and extending all over the country and they are still working on this theory despite the prisoner's confession. They say that she came here recently from Chicago and that there is a possibility she was followed here for the purpose of assassination. The other prisoners arrested here are Joe Mottes and Frank Piscella. Two other men were in the auto party but had not yet been captured when Bunonona made his confession. Two Men Missing. One of these fugitives was said by the police to be Andrew Lutz, of Chicago and the other was known as Hartford Charlie. The case is one of the strangest with which the New England police have ever had to deal and one of the most cold blooded. The plot had evidently been carefully arranged and was carried out with precision of detail. George Hall, the chauffeur of the car told the police today after the men had hired his car they ordered him to drive to 105 South avenue. There one of them entered tUe house and soon emerged with the woman. She was pretty and seemed to be about 22 years eld. After she entered the car the party started over the lonely road to Peeks mill. When near the Putney cemetery the car was stopped on the lonely deserted highway and all alighted. The night was dark as pitch as there was no moon but in the light if the lamps on the car one of the men, who said he was from Chicago, began to talk violently to the woman, waiving his arms and shaking his fists as he did sc. The woman was not frightened; she only laughed at him. The chauffeur was ordered to drive on and in a few minutes five shots w'ere fired. Some of the developments which followed the investigation to believe that the woman may have been driven from Chicago by threats. She arrived in this city less than a week ago and since then mixed with persons of doubtful character. The woman had plenty cf money and was well supplied with jewelry. BOWLING NOTES League Standing.

TWO SHOWS WERE GIVEN YESTERDAY
Irate Couple Starts Brawl in j Murray Theater and Scuf fle on the Street. Patrons of the Murray vaudeville house were treated to two performances yesterday afternoon. In addition to the regular bill another was given, wholly unexpected by patrons and management. Shortly after the matinee began, a woman carrying an umbrella walked up to the ticket office and in an excited voice inquired the way to the balcony. She said she desired to talk to her husband who was in the theater. Upon reaching the balcony the woman, name unknown, espied her husband and began an argument with him. In some manner a general scuffle ensued and both left the theater. In the lobby the woman struck the man with her clinched first. The two then left the theater and the man knocked the woman to the sidewalk. In an instant the feminine participant was on her feet and striking out with her umbrella in one hand and a hat pin in the other, landed several 'good" blows on her alleged husband, the latter finally turning "on his heels." The man ran to the street corner and turned south on Tenth street, the woman following closely on his trail. A number of vaudeville patrons and other interested spectators apparently enjoyed the scene immensely. The pol'ce were notified but were unable to locate the couple. i MEETING CALLED Commissioners Failed to In-! sert Clause in Ad. Failure to insert a certain clause in an advertisement fcr bids on tiio improvement of the Oliver Scantland road in Greene township has necessitated the calling of a special meeting of the county commissioners' board for next Saturday. The successful bidder, James Clements 'aa3 refused to accept the contract because, he says, he placed his bid on the advertisement which did not include the additional clause. The objectionable clause in the contract is: "And in event bad weather or other necessity compels the cessation of said work then said party of the second part contracts and agrees to provide and construct a single wagon roadway over and along the portion of said road which may be torn up by the making of eaid improvement the same to be suitable for public travel. The contract was awarded to Clements at the commissioners' meeting, September 7.

CANNOT PRESIDE III THE POLICE COURT Justice of Peace Abbott Unable to Preside Over the Miller Trial Today.
If some prisoners were languisning in the county jail serving a sentence gal jurisdiction to act in that capacity. For the laet three years Justice Ab bott has been called on to act as speeial judge in almost all the cases that Mayor Zimmerman did not hear. Nobody questioned the legal jurisdiction of the justice. He has sent many cul prits to the county jail from the city court to serve sentences tor snort ana long terms and no attorneys ever doubted the right of the justice to do so. The jury which had been summon?d to hear the case of Miller was in its place this morning and the first witness was on the stand when Assistant City Attorney Jessup insisted that a justice of the peace could not preside jver a police court trial. The trial was '.nterrupted and reference to the statutes upheld the attorney's ppinion. Mayor Zimmerman refused to hear i the case because he was instrumental in appointing Miller captain of hose company No. 4. The jury was discharged this morn ing and the trial will be held tomorrow before a special judge.
