F. A. Leland, assistant general freight
tent of the Missouri, Kansas & "Texas
railway, waa the second witness called. He
told 'jn reply to question of meeting at
St. Louis in June, 1904, of the traffic man
agers of the Missouri Pacific, the Bantu.
Fe, the 'Frisco and his road - to consider
raising the oil rate from Kansas. 'He said
that Mr. Bogardus, traffic manager of the
Standard Oil company, was preient, but he
did not recall that any of the Independent
oil refiners of Kansas had been aeked to
attend the meeting. 'After the meeting he
was informed that the rate was to be
changed from 10 cents to 17 cents from
Kansas points to Kansas City, Mo,
"Didn't you know that the change was
contemplated before that meeting?" Mr.
Leland was asked. ,( (.
"Yes, we had discussed It."- .
"I hold a letter tlgned by you and ad
dressed to J. A. Poland of Kansa City,
written May 28, U04," said Mr. Marchand,
and he showed it to Mr Leland. ; The let
ter, which Mr. Jeland admitted having
written, advised Mr. Bo)and that the rate
upon crude oil from southeastern Kansas
to Kansas City, Leavenworth, Atchison
and St. Joseph would be raised to 17 cents.
"When did the 17-oent fate go Into ef
fect?" "August IS, 1904."
"About that time the Standard Oil coni
pany completed a pipe tin from the Kansas
jll field to Its refinery at Sugar Creek In
Missouri, did it not?
"Yes."
"And coincident with that -the late
went up?"
"It had been agreed upon."
- "Did Mr. Bogardus object to the raiee in
rater
"Yea, he severly objected to it. He wanted
a lower rate,"
"The effect of the 17-cent rate would be
to guide oil Into Bogu rerun' . pipe line,

Clarke and Wain were brought back to
Omaha last night by Captain Shields of
South Omaluu It Is not likely, however,
that they will be placed In the South
Omaha jail for prudential reasons. . The
Omaha detectives moreover, 'wish to make
an 'Investigation to connect the two cap
tlves with the shooting of Frank N. Clarke
of Omaha. 8 far nothing has been learned
from the prisoners at Lincoln. This Is no
surprise to the South Omaha police. De
tective Elsfelder declared emphatically that
nothing 'would make the two negroes di
vulge a single'ltem of evidence. He said
everything would have to be proved. Since
the shooting of Flufy he haa hunted down
scores of clues, and bit by bit connected
the circumstantial evidence. Last night
man by the name of Mlchselson, who Is
a steam, fitter,. In the Hammond plant,,
stated he had snen r. band of throe negroes
together only' it few minutes before the
commission of the., first saloon robbery.
The name of another man who was actu-
lly held up ort the . same evening Just pre
vious to the saloon - Job will be learned
before the day is; ' He . told some of his
friends that the' negroes had held him up
for 15. but declared thut he.- was no
knocker" and would' not report It to the
police. His friend, did tip It off, however,
and has agreed to give the name of the
man who waa robbed today. If this is done
another strong link has been 'connected
with the ' others. The band of holdups
were seen after the second saloon robbery
running through the streets in the direc
tion of Albright by a man whose name Is
part of the secret . archives of the detec
tive, but It will be made known at the
prop-- time.
dearch for Third Man.
Toothing will be learned from Clark nor
Wain concerning the third man." This man
has proven the baffling proposition and
largely for the reason that the women who
gave the information against the other two
did not know the name of the third member
of the gang. He Is the tall slim one. In
this connection a dozen men have been sus
pected and their whereabouts On Wednes
day night looked Into and as often have
they been dropped. ' Nevertheless, one of
these suspects, Tom Johnson, alias Alex
ander Warren, ' haa been connected with
crimes which havo been committed in
Omaha. The police also have been on the
lookout for Jim Garfield, a killer In the
sheep department at Armour & campany's
plant. The reason for this was that within
half an hour after the arrest of Clark by
Officer Joe Ballew, Garfield quit his Job
and skipped .the town. He also answered
the description of the third man fairly well
and had been iseen with Clark on several
occasions. Research, however, has shown
different reason for ..his sudden disap
pearance. The Omaha police have a record
against his wife; ' who, with' another, wo
man, robbed a. map, in that city pf $126 in
the usual manner ot this class of criminals.
He took alarm at the arrest of Clark and

the Rock Island" train ' speeding east as
fast as the wheels!1 could carry him. His
description and his 'destination are known
and It will be an easy matter to intercept
him on the road. He is a married man
and was a soldier in the Philippines. His
wife is st a point In western Nebraska
but Instead of going to her he started In
the opposite direction. Before going ha
sold alt his possessions. The detective
withheld the name of the suspect for the
reason that several times of late their
plans have been frustrated by premature
publicity, but he' agreed to give It out as
soon as the man was tn custody. He waa
waiting the orders of Chief Brlggs before
wiling the authorities In advance of the
Rock Island train which the suspect took
at 1:40 last night He is supposed to have
reached his destination about 4 o'clock this
morning, so it is surmised that - Rock
Island is the place where he was headed
for.
Throughout all the operations of the
police in this crime the star man of the
police " department has been Officer Joe
Ballew. He arrested Clarke at the Armour
packing house after it had been tipped off
to him by Mattle . James. Afterward he
made the trail hot behind Wain all day
until he located him In South' Omaha,
where Shields, Elsfelder and Brlggs 'ar
rested him. Ballew is the glunt colored
policeman of South Omaha. No one. knows
the ways of his race better than he
Ballewvwus a sergeant In the Ninth cavalry
for sevunteen years and spent twenty
years of his life In the army. He can learn
more from the colored people than any
other officer on the force. It is this ad
vantage which has made him so valuable
In the present case.
Elsfelder wired the authorities in ad
vanoa of the Rock Island train at 1:30 to
be on the lookout for the man he has been
watching for all day and who narrowly
eluded him by catching the train out of
town while the officers were hurrying, down
from the Omaha police station to Intercept
him.

Although the time may not have yet sr.
rtvert when your city could take over the
resionslblllty, should It tie the desire or
lour cltlsens to do so. yet 1 think an ar
rangement might be made with that end In
view.
The writer then suggests that an effort
be made to come to terms with the com
panies now operating street car lines In the
city and suggests that If that is not pos-
Ible that there Is only one thing to do.
which Is to start a new line as soon as the
franchises under which the companies are
now operating expires.
The report then declares that most of the
present equipment of the companies should
be1 relegated to the scrap heap and a time
fixed within which .the lines should be
placed in perfect condition. . Then a fran
chise may be granted for say twenty, years
with the. city having the right, to take pos
session at the end of five year periods. The
report concludes as follows:
I should be very sorrv indeed If you were
forced tn take surh a step as starting new
lines when the franchises of the present
companies expire because, speaking gener
ally. 1 should say from my knowledge
and experience of what it mean, to operate
a municipal street railway system, mat tne
municipalities of the I nttert Btates are not
quite ready successfully to undertake this
work.
Mr. Dalrymple strongly reoomniends tne
overhead trolley for motive power, saying
that to "install the underground trolley to
any extent would be a scandalous waste of
money."
When Mayor Dunne was Informed that
the report had finally become public he de
clined to say anything, contenting himself
with the remsrk that he would probably
have something to say within 24 hours after
the report had been given out.
GREENE ANDGAYNOR SPOILS
Government Explains Theory of the

SAVANNAH. Oa., March 12. When the
United States court convened today In the
Greene and Gaynor case, E. J. Johnson,
expert accountant, resumed the stand to
explain the government theory of division
of money between the defendants. There
were in all, It Is contended, thirty-two
divisions of spoils.
In the simplest case, the witness ex
plained, he alleged that Carter disbursed
139.075. He wont to New York. The 139,075
was d"poslted to the account of W. L.
Gaynor. On the same day Gaynor with
drew 1L3.075 in cash. Two days afterwards
Carter bought tlS.OOu worth of bonds from
Reed & Flag.
The government contends that in every
Instance where Carter went to New Tork
there was an arbitrary allowance of $76
for his expenses, and Carter Invariably
made out the. check for an amount that
would divide into thirds, plus $76. Two
sessions aro held to expedite the intro
duction of Mr. Johnson's evidence, upon
the conclusion of which It Is said the gov
ernment will close. j

VIN1TA. I. T.. March 12. 1. L. Ollstrap,
deputy I'nlted States marshal, of Vlnlta;
Otis Tuttle, posseman of Vlnlta, and Dick
Terry, posseman of Tahlequah, were killed
In a bloody battle with the Wlckllffe band
of Cherokee Indian outlaws In the SDav-
Inaw hills, nine miles northwest of Kan
sas, I. T yesterday afternoon. After the
battle the outlaws wore besieged In the
house of their uncle, Jim Wiekllffe, at the
scene of the crime, thirty-one miles from
Vlnlta. There Is no telephone or telegraph
communication with the battleground and
tonight no newa had been received from
a large party of deputies who went to th
Spavinaw hills to capture or kill the out
laws. It was not expected that they
would yield without a fight. t
The Wickllffes killed Deputy Marshal
Vler about a year and a half ago and the
officers have been on their trail ever since.
A posse of six officers who were on the
way to arrest the gang were fired upon
from ambush by the Indians, who shot
and killed three of their pursuers and es
caped unhurt. Plrsx Mann, a posseman
who survived the attack of the outlaws,
walked twenty-eight miles to Tahlequah
and told the. story of the battle, which
was telegraphed to I'nited States Marshal
Darrough of this place at x:S this morning.
Thirty-five deputy marshals were at once
sworn In and dispatched to the scene of
the battle and authority has been granted
Marshal Darrough o Increase the number
to 100. Marshal Darrough announces that
he will employ this many men if necessary
to round up the desperadoes.
Desperate Flaht Kxperted.
It Is reported tonight that the full blood
Cherokee Indians in the vicinity of - the
battle ground of yesterday, commonly
known as the Nlghthawka, are Joining the
Wickllffes and the authorities fear that
they will barricade themselves In the rough
country and a desperate battle ensue before
the outlaws are captured. ,The Wickllffes
aro members of the Night hawk band of
Indians which haa given the United States
officers so much trouble In the matter ol
taking allottments and It Is said that
many .of ..these Nlghlhawks sympathise
with. them... t )
The home .of the Wickllffes' is In the
center pf .the Nlshtbawk settlement, where
the battle, occurred.. Many , of the Indians
haye been sheltering the outlaws ( during
thejr months of scouting and the officers'
have' arre'sle'd 'many of the, Indians '6f
giving such ' protection . to the." . Wickllffes.
It. is feared here that the fuTIloods In
that vicinity, which number several hun
dred, may Join the Wickllffes and that it
may be necessary to call out the Uulteo
Btates troops. The officers here, however,
believe they will be able to" cope With the
situation successfully.
Identity of Murdered Men.
Deputy. Gllstrap waa a. fearless officer,
appointed to aucceed J. II. Vler, who Was
killed by the Wickllffes. . He leaves a
widow and several children at Kansas, I. T.
Tuttle and Terry were ' Cherokee full
bloods. Marshal Darrough has asked the Depart
ment of Justice to authorise him to offer
$1,000 for the capture of the outlaws.
Only meager details of the fight have
been received as yet. The battle occurred
far from the railroad and it is hard to get
tidings from there.

James Wamford and Andy Dick, possemen,
Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock rode up to
the home of Jim Wlckllffe, unole of the
Wiekllffe boys, and were Intending to make
a search of the place when the outlaws
concealed In the house opened fire on them.
At the first volley Gllstrap, Tuttle and
Terry were killed and at the next volley
all of the horses were killed, besides two
bloodhounds. The survivors of OUstrap's
party fired Into the house, but the fire
from the" outlaws was so sharp that they
soon sought shelted behind tree and
stones.
SUSAN B. ANTHONY IS DEAD
(Continued from First Page.)
Huster Harper, in her life of Miss Anthony,
says:
"The Be was ironical and contemptuous
in Its treatment, - see The Herald, under
the management of a young son of I'nlted
States Senator Hitchcock, was vulgar and
abusive." At Lincoln another meeting was
held. In this campaign Miss Anthony spoke
In forty counties .of the state and ended
her lecturing tour with a debate In Omaha,
October 13, with. Edward Rosewater. Speak
ing of thia debatet Mr. Rosewater has since
said that Miss Anthony possessed the power
of direct and .consecutive thinking in a de
gree superior to any- other person, man or
woman, he had ever met.
. The cumpaJgn In Nebraska was followed
by a four months' tour of Europe. From
that tlme'tahe devoted her energies to the
extension of .woman suffrage, being in a
large measure responsible for the existence
of equal suffrage in those states, which
ays as well ss ths Usee.
