According to the presentations of Mr.
Dallln , tliB company1 proposes t , .build a
d9Ublo track air line-'road frSm New York
to San Francisco , , wblph will not dlvwge
from Us course to reach any city and which
will pierce 'niountaTnl tond" 'su'rnldunt other
obstacles without deflatingfrom' ' n straight
line. Dy this means It Is proposed to shorten
the distance between San Francises and New
York by 000 miles , and that between Chicago
and New York by 20 < ) . The time between
the first two points will ba forty-c ght hours ,
and the last two thirteen hours , ths rate
of speed being sixty miles an hour , Including
stops.
The entire line , It Is estimated , will cost
$400,000,000 , $125,000.000 of this to be ex
pended between Chicago and New York. It
Is Intended to Introduce a 1)111 ) In congress
placing the entire enterprise under the su
pervision of the government for the endorse
ment of the bonds of the road , A British
syndicate Is back of the project , which will
take $125,000,000 worth of bonds at B per
cent , the bunds being told at 90 per cent af
their face value If an Indjpendent company
builds the road , But If the government en
dorses the bonds at 3 per com they will sell
at par value.
Mr. Dallln said the survey had been com
pleted nearly to Chicago and would reach the
Mississippi river by December 20 , when the
syndicate would give . $1,000,000 to begin the
building of the road. The company was a lit
tle in the hole and Wanted thu western cities
to help It out to reach the river. The con
tract with the syndicate requires die comple
tion of the road to Chicago by 1898 , and tlus
whole road by 1900.
After the scheme had been outlined no one
said much , but the meeting appeared to voice
Mr. Rosewatcr'a opinion when he said congress - ,
gress wouldn't give any help , and , If It did ,
the road would collapse , as there Is not
enough business to support two roads between
New York and Chicago , while there are now
six.

ST. LOUIS , Oct. 2. A special to the Post
Dispatch from St. Joseph , Mo. , says : Lee
Jonea and "Scarfaccd" Charley I-'rlzzell wore
arrested hero today , charged with conspiracy
to rob the Chicago , Rock Island & Pacific
train. The pair have been under surveillance
some time. It being known that they , with
others , were planning a train robbery. The
conspirators were betrayed by one of their
own band. A week ago It was planned to rob
a westbound Rock Island train .and to
blow It up If necessary. This was postponed
and last night finally abandoned , the would-
be robbers learning Hint the police were
after them. The arrests followd and others
are expected.
Since the attempt made about a month
ago to rob the Denver express the officers of
the road have been looking for the men
concerned In the enterprise. Suspicion pointed
to "a long-haired crook from the Indian ter
ritory , " as the prime mover. The chief spe
cial agent , Martin Flynn , of the Rock Is
land , went to St. Joseph and was not long
In Identifying the "long-halrad craok" as
Jones , who had recently arrived frcm the
Indian territory and carried his character
on his face. Hewaa a blustering bully ,
with no visible means of support and with
a habit of frequenting disreputable saloons
and associating with desperate characters.
Among his associates were Lee Frlzicll and
a man named Callaghan , who. u few days
after the arrival of the railroad officer , was
arrested by the local o Ulcers on u charge ot
burglary and was lodged In Jail. It was
learned that the trio had instigated the
former attempt and that Jone * and Frlzzell
bad not abandoned hopes of ultimately gainIng -
Ing possession of the treasure In the express
and mall cars.
Special Agent Klynn returned lo Chicago ,
and September 9 a meeting was held In the
office of General Manager W. I. Allen , at
which were present ( leneral Superin
tendent Dunlap , General Manager Al
len , Special Agent Klynn anil De
tective B. A. Burchard. As .1 rtsult
ot the meeting Burchard on the following
day took a train for St. Joseph , and. In the
gulso ot a Chicago crook , went to the Ilnffalo
Head saloon , a resort much frequanted by
Jones , Krlzzell and similar characters. It
was fair week and the'town was welt patron
ized by gamblers nnd other adventurers
from the surrounding country. It was an
easy matter to gain access to the society
circle In which Jones waa A fihlnlng light ,
and when , on September 17 , Flynn. In the
guise ot a Chicago gambler out of luck , ur-
, ved at the Buffalo Head , Burchard was In
a position to Introduce him.
"Burchard was right In It , " said Klynn.
tpeaklng of the .episode. "He was ut the head
of the table and Fred Jones was at the foot.
Krlzzell was there and half a doieti ex-con
victs were also at the board at which Bur
chard presided.
"Jones U a character. He drank freely
and talked openly ot crime. He- was a
hideous looking object , six feet tall , with
broad shoulders and powerful physique , His
tons , black hair hanging from beneath a
broad-brimmed sombrero did not conceal any
part of the most repulsive human face I
over say. While In a fit Jones fell Into a
camp fire and bis entlrt face was burned al
most out of human semblance ,
"Ho was one whose criminal proclivities
could not have been concealed. He was 33
years old and possessed of a liberal educa
tion. An accomplished artist , he would network
work , and openly boasted that be would yet
outdo the > exploits of Jeaie James. Jones
had Herved two terms In penitentiary
for counterfeiting , but had escaped all pun-
lahment for a long Hit of violation ) of the
state laws , and neemed to "winder at will
through the Indian territory , Kansas and
Missouri , with perfect Immunity from arrest.
Ho was the leader ot the gang with whom
Burchard waa on friendly terms. Jones was
always heavily armed. He > would not hesi
tate to shoot on the slightest provocation.
But ho was not really a dangerous man , lack
ing mental force and depending for his repu
tation on brute courage and blufT.
"A more dangerous man was Lee Krlzzell ,
also an ex-convict. He was quiet and watch
ful and sometimes appeared to suspect that
Burchard was not all right. It required
much tact to dissipate the fellow's ' suspicions ,
but the detective finally succeeded , nnd was
taken fully Into the confidence of Frlzzell and
hla friend and associate , Prank Llnburg , Bur
chard was finally admitted to all ot the plans
for a raid on the train. The party was to
consist of Jones , Llnburg , Krlzzell , Burchard
and two 'good people' who were to be on
hand In time , Tuesday evening , September
25 , was the time set for the attempt. The
Denver express , due In St. Joseph at 7:40 :
o'clock , was to be Intercepted at the water
tank , seven miles east of town. As the
locomotive stopped at thu water tank
one of the bandits was to break the
couplings behind the mall and express cars
while the others commanded the engineer to
go ahead into a deep cut half a mile up
the track , leaving the passenger cojches be
hind. In the cut the work of robbery was to
1)0 completed , four men going through the
express and mall cars , \flflle one. armed with
a rifle , kept watch on the engineer and fire
man. "
