Indiana Is Demanding Efforts to
Prevent Slaughter
MANY TRESPASSERS SLAIN
California Police Have Captured
the Stage Robber
WANTED FOR VARIOUS CRIMES
A Commission Calls Slaughter by the
Indiana Railroads "An Unnecessary
and Continuous Loss of Life in a
Highly Civilixed Country."
CHICAGO, Aug. 19. An alarming
increase in the number of fatalities in
Indiana during the past two weeks
has caused the railroad commission to
demand of the roads more systematic
and persistent efforts to prevent ac
cidents. Railroads operating in that
state yesterday received an order in
which a more extensive use of warn
ing signals at crossings and on brid
ges is directed as one means of get
ting away from loss of life. Special
emphasis is also placed on the neces
ity of co-operating with the local au
thorities to keep the trespassers off
the tracks.
Present conditions, the commission
declares, involve "An unnesessary and
continuous loss of life in a highly civ
ilized country." The Indiana commis
sion has previously denounced it ai
the "Great American crime." The
commission points to the fact that
173 persons were killed while tres
passing on the tracks of the railroads
in Indiana during the year ending
June 30, 1908.
"BOB" EVANS STORY.
Why He Said Spanish Could Hit Only
The Water.
NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-A special
dispatch from Lake Mohonk, brings
the following story of Admiral Evans.
The other day a friend asked him:
"Admiral, is there any truth that
after the battle of Santiago you called
out from the bridge of the Iowa to
captain of another battleship: 'Those
Spaniards can't fight a damned thing
exceot water?" Admiral Evans
laughed and replied:
"I will tell you what I really said
and what the incident really was," he
said. "One drizzly day during the
blockade we stood in toward the har
bor and shelled the shore ba'tteries.
It was not as exciting as it might have
been, for whether we hit anything or
not, I know the Spaniards did not
quite come near us. After the shell
ing was over a press boat lay along
side of my ship and a newspaper man
asked if we had been hit. I shouted
back: 'They didn't touch us. The
Spaniards didn't hit anything except
water and the couldn't have hit that
if there wasn't so damn much of it."
Matt Jackson Held up Sixteen Men
Near Stifling City, and Has Tilla
mook Bank Checks and Postal Or.
ders in His Possession.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 19.-Matt
Jackson, held in connection with the
holdup of 16 lumbermen near Stifling
City, August 10, will dc taken to Chi
co tcday by Sheriff Buchanan. The
loot found in Jaekson's room here at
the time of his capture and which has
been identified as belonging to the
men held up, will also be taken to Chi-
co as evidence.
The. local police have identified
Jackson as an old offender with
number of convictions against his
name. He is identified by checks and
postal orders in his possession as the
highwayman who held up the Tilla
mook stake in Oregon in July. Among
the great quantity of loot discovered
by the peace officers are many check
on banks at Tillamook taken from the
mail sack of the stage robbed at that
time. From other plunder the po
lice believe they will be able to con
nect Jackson with enough highway
robberies and the like to brand him
as one of the boldest and most des
perate criminals captured in many
day.

President Roosevelt has always ad

er America," like the rest of the "Bar

wish her success in this most neces
