TRACKING THE ROYAL PURPLE
Mysterious Railroad Oliqno Tbrongh Which
Secrets Leak.
STRIKING INSTANCES OF ACCURACY
SerrH * Whloli > o Olllc-lnl Hnr 1'uli-
lloljItct ( > nl Killer ThrotiFfli the

TIiM for tli Knvoroil.
Ono of the most mysterious cliques con
nected with a railroad or moving In r.illro.id
circles , cays the aiobs-Domocrat , In the
"stovo committee , " or , as the trainmen call
It , "royal purple. " The "royal purple" Is
the soures of all railroad Information for
which no railroad officer Is willing to
bo directly responsible. The "royal purple" Is
connected with every railroad. U Ittcps
watch on things , discusses Internal and ex
ternal polUlcs , crltlplsej the road officials
and pasu3B out to the world , through devious
and untraccahlo ways , "lips" off what li >
going to happen.
If an unpopular officer or agent of a rail
road company Is about to be removed or
transferred to some post less desirable than
the one he has occupied , ho generally gotn
his first Information about It from the mys-
terlouti "royal purpleor "stove commit
tee. "
A conspicuous Illustration of this fact ,
cited by it Washington correspondent , Is In
the cas of Charles Francis Adams , who was
deposed from the presidency of the Union
I'acllic railroad n few years hack by the
late Mr. Qould. The nc\v of Mr. Adams'
prospective fate , It will be romombsred , was
waftsd Into the offices of wveral largo metro
politan papers from the well-posted "stove
commltto ; , " and , appearing In print , was mot
with repeated delilnlc , from Mr. Adams , nut
In about six weeks' tlmo he was finally
obliged to admit Its correctness.
The- different title ? given this shadowy
committee by the otnclals and trainman of
the railroad service can bJ account.d for
perhaps In the abhorrence of anything
nt'cnymous ' by the former and the vcncra- .
tlon of the sameby the latter. There Is
IK thing that pHases and gratifies a railroader
reader In the ranks BO much ns to be the
custodian of a plec ? of news that concerns
his road or his fellow employes. The newa ,
If It be Important , must of nccssrlty originate
ft cm the higher officials ot th ; road , and
an those autocrats of the wheel and rail
are likened unto kings by those under them
tlm title , "royal purple , " is not such n
meaningless ono after all.
Lcoklng nt It from an official standpoint ,
an atmosphere of practical Intellectual at
tainments , nothing can appear so ridiculous
as a rumor. Anything that possesses n well-
discerned basis , ns , for Instance , a great
necessity , will bo given a second thought ,
but a shadowy rumor , or hearsay , Is too
sirall for1 ccme-Iderutlon , hence- the till ? ,
"stovepipe commltteo. "
It Is said that the "royol purple" was the
ci'&todlan of President Mayer's resignation
fiom the leadership of the- Baltimore &
Ohio road several months before It was
tendered to the executive commltteo of that
corporation.
At the time Hradlng railroad stock ad-
var.csd in an unbroken upward movement
from 18 on the Philadelphia Stock exchange
and double that on the New York boardsto
35 , Mr. Wanamaker was credited with hav
ing cleared a round million , and several of
his friends hero In Washington almost aj
much. When the new receivership appoint
ment was found to be Inevitable , anil Read
ing stock slumped from 35 to the n Ighbor-
hood of 12 In a few days , rumors flew thick
nnd fast that those who had made money
on the rli'a were the- ones who lost It on
the decline. The "stove committee" said
nay and future developments substantiated
the latter's declaration.
Were railroad officials more Inclined to
grasp at shadows , EX > to speak , In the .shape
of rumors , than things more substantial , a
more healthy * bank account would bo theirs.
They are frequently custodians of secrets ,
even before the "royal purple , " In the shape-
of contemplated Improvement's and consolida
tions , that would boom the stock of their
roads several points , yet they are so en
grossed In working out their plans that
speculation on their knowledge Is one of the
last things thought of.
Some years back an old wholesale grocery-
ir.an and commlslzon merchant , living in
Elaltlmore , was In clew touch with ths "stove
committee , " In the shape of a nephew who
was the confidential clerk of a high rail-
mad official. One morning the old merchant
racelved a dispatch that made him exceed
ingly nsryous , and to Inquire how much
money was In the bank to his credit.
In telling this story to a Globe-Democrat
representative one evening recently a prom
inent railroad official sal' ' :
"I was a bookkeeper" for ths old merchant
then and for the first time heard of the
mysterious 'stove committee. ' As lie ran
his nervous hands over the book ? I Inquired
nf him as to the Identity of the sender of
the message. He re. pi led In a testy voice :
" 'Oh , It's from the "stcvo ccmnjlttoe , " '
a.nd , grabbing up his hat , rushed from the
counting room.
"Ho left the message lying on the desk
and I took It up and read It. Iti ran , as fol
lows :
" 'Northern Central looks bright today. A
balloon properly Inflated goes up very high. '
"That was In the days before the Penn
sylvania railroad gobbled up the Northern
Central. That stock was selling at $15 a
sluire on the Baltimore Stock exchange ,
, The old fellow had about 1.000 shares , but
ho purchased 1,500 more at an average of
about | 17 a share. Then It began to climb ,
and Just previous to my leaving his employ
several years back , hesoldi the entire lot
at $60 a share , netting him nearly $100.000.
That wao one case in which beingon speak
ing terms with the 'stove committee' came
In very bandy.
"The old merchant then retired from busi
ness and was made president of an old es
tablished bank at $5,000 a year. Not long
afterward the notorious 'Hungry Joe , ' of
confidence game fame , wove a net around
him , and although captured and sentenced
to a long term in the Maryland state prison ,
It lo believed that he secured fully $ r > 0,000
of the old merchant's money and has it

Tht-ro Is n well-to-do former out on the
Hnltlmor * & Potomac railroad , nbout ten
miles from Washington , ulio , were he so
Inclined , could tell an Interesting story
wherein the "stove commutes" played an
Important part.
H was during the days when Washington
lind only one railroad to carry Its citizens
north * The great and far-seeing Colonel
Thomas A , Scctt , then president of the Penn
sylvania road , was casting covetous tyeo on
the national capital , but how to secure an
entrance was n problem requiring the think
ing panof n lirnlh 'fnr above tlm normal
size. Colonel Scott 'pbisesscd this brain.
He knew It would never do I'j try and
pet a charter for a railroad from llaltlmore
to Washington from the Maryland legis
lature. The tvnlor darrett , then presUent
of the llaltlmore & Ohio road , was nearly
Scott's equal as a. railroad manager and
manipulator , and knew full well the great
convenience It was to have n "pull" In poli
tics , and ( specially to have the state legis
lature at his back. For Scott to show hie
hand meant defeat.
With a , sorry talc of . dcolro for southern
connections to his great road , Scott ap
peared before the utate legislature and bggal
for a charter for a road from llaltlmore
to I'opo's Cr ek , Md. , with a privilege of
building brnnqh roads to develop the coun
try. Sielng nothing In the request to harm
the Baltimore & Ohio road , and desiring
the southern part of the state developed ,
the charter was grantol.
Then came the tunnels under Baltimore
city and the laying of a single track to
Tope's Creek , No sooner was this completed
than the wily Scott thought the read needed
a branch line , and spouting out from Howie
a dive was made for Washington , figura
tively ppeaklng , and before th ? astonished
Oarrctt could rally his forces 'his arch enemy
had effected an entrance Into the nation's
capital.
To many It will bo news to know that the
criminal title of the Baltimore & Potomac
railroad covered the line running to Pope's
Creek , on the bank of the Potomac river ,
and that the line to Washington Is , In
reality , only a branch road.
Now , to return to the. . old farmer not
many miles from Washington. Whllo Colonel
Scott was completing his great railroad coup
the "stovo committee" was not Idle and In
some way this old farmer was nude a con
fidant of. Ho did not betray the trust re
posed In him , and In good time came his re
ward. Ho was fully conversant of the de
tails of Colonel Scott's final move and , like
the sagacious rabbit of tlia latter-day fairy
tale , ho lay low.
Directly In the way of the contemplated
branch to Washington were the lands of the
farmer to whom the "stovo committee" had
given the "tip , " and for a considerable dis
tance Houj.h they were pointed out. Agents
of the company made frequent trips to the
old farm house , and heated Interviews gen
erally followed. The old farmer argued that
his lands were the best In Maryland , while
In reality It was hard to flnd wor.se , but
when naked to name his prlc ? he. refused ,
and said he didn't want to sell.
Finally the "tip" came from the "stovo
committee" to give In and como to an under
standing with the railroad , a state of affairs
tbo old farmer was only too glad to profit
by , as he bsgan to think he had carried his
bluff too far and was going to be left out
In the cold.
Colonel Scott was furlcus at , the old farm
er's obstinacy , but told Ma agent to try him
once more with a final raise of $10 per aero
over the last price offered.
The old farmer must have been a good
poker player , because he handled his cards
well and raked In the limit , a sum of money
more than triple what his entire farm was
worth , and only for the privilege of running
through ! It.
It was said afterward that a boy taken
from the state refofmalory and raised to
manhood by the old'farmer ' held a confidential
postlon around railroad { headquarters In Phil
adelphia at the time Scott's great coup was
under way.
Perhaps he was chairman and secretary of
tbo "stovo commltteo" of the Pennsylvania
road at that time. Who can tell ?
Several prominent railroad representatives
gathered In a Washington hotel recently ,
brought thither by Ue | > republican national
committee meeting , . , ami In the course of
conversation a wreck that occurred several
years back was Hrot/gli under discussion.
Ono man said he had It straight from the
"royal purple" why no one was punished
for the catastrophe. The accident In question
occurred on the outskirts of Philadelphia.
Several people were horribly mangled and for
a tlmo President Harrison was thought to
bo among the number Injured.
It will be recalled that a heavy special
train loaded with scnatora and representa
tives struck a suburban train , cut one car
In two , but the oiiglne that did the smauh-
tng waa not damaged. The special was
bound for Now York , the. passengjrs being
OOOKCU 10 participate in tne raising ol the
American Hug over the steamship. City of
Paris.
All the railroad officials were desirous of
the train making exceptional quick time , as
It had bee n widely advertised , and ono of the
best engineers In the service was selected to
handle the throttle. All went well until just
outside of Philadelphia , the special received
orders that the track wao clear ahead. The
track was clear ahead , but this did not take
Into account the fact that a. train was due
to cross over the track a few miles below.
On went the special at a terrific rate of
speed ; the crossing hove. In sight and the
suburban train Into view. Down went the
air brakes , but It was 'snowing at the time
anil the train slid like a huge toboggan sled
right Into the center car , and the loss of life
followed.
Then came the Investigation. The engineer
of the special had jumped from his engine
when he saw that the accident was Inevit
able , but crawled around to the Investigation
to tell how he had received orders to the
effect that the track WAS clear. The en
gineer of the suburban train told of his train
having the right of way and was on time.
The operator at the signal tower testified
to having the danger signal down , and the
train dispatcher In the Philadelphia ofllce
went Into details as to the rules of the road
and what orders he had given , The coroner's
Jury returned a verdict to the effect that
the accident was unavoidable owing to thn
slippery condition of the rails , and the rail
road officials censured no one ,
Now comes the sequel , DU leaking out
through the "royal purple" and retold to the
party of railroad men ,
As before noted , the officials of the road
were anxious for great speed. One of the
highest officials , of the road strolled Into the
train runner'a ofllce on the morning of the
wreck and inquired how the special was
doing. Not being satisfied with the reply he
ordered the train runner to Inform the en
gineer of the special that he had a clear
track and for him to "let * er out. " Hone
no doubt forgot the suburban train. The en
gineer was u nervy man and liked nothing
better tljan such an order , He "let 'er out , "
and the wreck followed.
As a natural result , no ono was punished
for the accident , Ho\y could the railroad do
It when one of Its most prominent officials
was responsible for It ? And once more the
true Insight Into the cause of the wreck
comes out through the "royal purple , " or
the "stovo committee. "

The War department lua n very Interest
ing way of capturing deserters from the
army. About six years ago , relates the
Washington Test , congress established a mil
itary detective bureau under the surgeon
general for the detection nnd capture of de
serters nnd oilier military criminal * &f-
fore that tlmo desertions were very frequent ,
and thcro wore many criminals In thls > coun
try who upjd the service "ns a place ot tem
porary rtfugo when they wcVe pursued by
detectives for crimes. The army uniform
and the schedule life of n post afforded
them n protection which they could 7iot ob
tain whllo dodging around the country. As
It would have been an cxpent'lvc and un
satisfactory method for the government to
punuo thes ? deserters by the usual detective
methods , the surgeon general waa author
ized to establish a scheme to capture them
otherwise.
The Idea was conceived that all thrse men
were likely to have | > ermancnt marks on
their bodlcj by which they could b ? Identified ,
nnd surgeons of recruiting stations were fur
nished Identification cards bearing thd out-
llnoH of an anatomical nun. The cards are
nbsut eight Inches square and the outlined
flguro of the man Iti printed en both sides.
Ono fides shows a front view of the flguro ,
with hands nnd arnm straight down nt the
Dldes. nnd the other shows the rear llguro.
Blink spaces nro provided for the man's
name , age , height , nationality , color of his
cyco nnd a few minor questions that might
assist in Identifying him. The back nnd
front view of the figure are divided Into fifty-
eight wxitlons.
When a man shows up to recruit the sur-
gccn ftrlpa him and subjects him to a scrutiny
for scars , tnolc , tattooing * and other per
manent marks on bis body. Ho Indicates the
nature of any matks ho may flnd on ono of
thcso cards with Ink , and In three years from
the tlmo the sclicmo was put Into operation
thcro was n card on file for ovary enlisted
man In the service. The fllo has slnco been
kept up to date , nnd when a nun U honor
ably dltiohargsi his cird Is destroyed. When
a man deserts or commits any other military
offense , the commander of the post at which
ho lu stationed forwnrdo his namti to the
department , and his catd Is removed from
tlio alphabetical flies.
The tnnn'B nams Is then lost slcht of en
tirely , nnd his card Is clammed In a criminal
file by the section In which his most prom-
Incut scar Is located. If his most prominent
scar Is on his right foot , his card IB placed
In the right-foot fllo. If ho has several largo
scars In different Poctlpns , duplicate cards
are mads out , and a card Is filed In the
proper file for each scar. A man with prom
inent scars on his right foot , his left check ,
nnd his left arm , 'would have a card filed
In each section. These flics are known as
"undeslrablo men. "
When a man deserts , all the attention the
bureau gives to him If. to flic hla card , after
his name hau been forwarded by the com
mander of his post , with the undeslrablo men ,
according to his most prominent scar. No
matter how much ho Is wanted , ho Is seldom
captured If he does not ro-enllst. When ho
ro-enllsts ho naturally presents himself In a
strange recruiting oftlco under nn alias. Hole
lo enlisted and examined , ns arc all new re
cruits , and his Identification card" Is Torwardod
to the department. As the cards of the cur
rent recruits roach the olllca sometimes at the-
rate , of twenty pur day , they are examined
by a corps of clerks for tholr most prominent
scar. This scar Is marked with a' circle , of
red Ink , and the card is. compared with the
cards on fllo of the criminals with Js'cars In
an Identical location. If the card' deeM not
show identical scars with any ot the crim
inals' cards , , It is filed alphabetically' , but If
It shows one Identical scar with the card ot
a criminal , nil tbci other scars arti compared
with the criminals' card , and If a sulllclont
similarity between the two cards can be
traced the new recruit will nnd' himself under
arrest by order of the surgeon general In lota
than twenty-four houm *
The dorks doing this work , under Dr.
Charles Smart , U. S. A. , are In fact the
military detectives. They never leave their
desks In ths hottest pursuit of suspected mili
tary criminals , but the system has never
failed In any case.
It Is estimated that 3 per cent of all tht
recruits enlisted slnco the organization of the
bureau have proved to hs previous ! military
criminals , and many of them have been sent
to Fort Lfavenworth , the military peniten
tiary. It Is not by any particular class of
marks that they are captured , but by a com
bination of mark ; . Some men have only six
or seven distinct permanent marks , and
others have as high as sixty. White men
generally have more than negroes , because
a slight scar will not rhow prominently on a
negro. Some criminals have tried to get
back becaus ? they had no other marks than
moles , but they were capturtd. The Im
portance of the moles was not fully appre
ciated by the recruiting surgeons when the
bureau started , and when ono of them was
reminded by the1 department that he had not
sufllclently described a mole , lie re-cxamlnod
the man , and measured the mofo to the six
teenth of an inch. Tattoo murks have been
used against men very often. A criminal recently -
contly captured by a tattooed flag on his arm
protez-tcd hla Innocence- and ilonlld lily Iden
tity during tbo trial on the ground that the
first time he was In the army ho had only a
scar oh his arm. After ho was convicted ho
confessed that ho was the man , and had built
the Hag. around the etar , utlng the star for
the fit-Id of the flag. Uut.his Ingeniously enlarged
'
larged tattooing did not deceive the' depart
ment , f
Probably the most novel case In the archives - 4
chives of the bureau Is that of a man who
served lit Florida In a cavalry company with
n deserter. He was honorably discharged
from the service , and In About a year ho
enlisted In a otrange recruiting' ofllca In the
west nnd claimed to ho the deaettcr. He
was tried before a court-martial , pleaded
guilty and was sent to the military peni
tentiary for Ihroe years. When he bad been
In prison a year he wrote tp the department
and confessed that ho was not the deserter
that ho had pretended to be. Ho said ho
was desperate , and bolng preened by hunger
he resolved to go to prison , where he could
get food. Ho told of n prominent scar an
the deoerter whom * ho prt-tonded1 to < ho , by
which that man could not bo mistaken , and
when u card was made out fcr him and
compared with the card of thu deserter the
dissimilarity in their ccarfc wa so great
that It was conclusively proyd he was not
the deserter , and he was released ,
Uoforo the establishment of the bureau It
was common for men to cnliU when tlfy
wore hungry or sick , Knowing they would bo
fed and get hospital service and desert al
most Immediately. Hut the certainty with
which these deserters are captured now put
.an end to that. Recently a man enlisted
three times and deserted twice In three days
before his card could bo forwarded to tliu
ofllco and compared , but on the third enlist
ment ho was raptured and sent tn prison fur
four years. , The crimes for which a man
gets fifteen days In the policy courts ho will
get thrco or four years for by n court-
miirtlal.
It Is not lllteir trial any Innocent new re
cruit wun ever Imprleoncd because his scnrs
were identical wltli ( hose of nome rrlmlnal ,
but every recruit I * mispcctrd of being a
rilmlmil , and his card Is put through tlio
closest scrutiny on reaching the ofllco , Two
different men have never heen found to bear
Identical marks , nnd In every case wliero
cards have been forwarded to n post for the
arrest of a man , they linvo represented Die
man suspected , These men , like civil crimi
nals , for many of them have records In
nrhnlnal history , assume varlouu allnspH , but
the department Ignores names entirely , and
In the army there Is nothing In a iiamo
v. lion a man becomes undesirable.
