H OCK ISLAND TS BELT St. Louis Roclc Island Terminal Railway Company, With One Million Dollars Capital, Secretly Incorporated, Acquires 20 City Blocks in North St. Louis Obtains Right of Way for Line Connecting With Colorado Tracks, Which Solves Its World's Fair Terminal Problem. LARGEST DEAL OF THE KIND Two important steps In the settlement of the vexatious problem affecting the World's Fair and the Rock Island terminals in St, Louis, have been taken by the acquire ment by the Rock Island of a right-of-way In the city of St. Louis for a belt line and the purchase of about twenty city block-) In North St. Louis for yards. Secretary of State Sam B. Cook chart-re-I the St. Louis Rock Island Terminal Hall v.av Company of St. Louis, with a capital of "jl.000,tt. consisting of 10,000 shares or 1100 -ach, on June 27. The charter was is sued late In the evening, and no announce ment was made the following day. the rail way officials desiring to keep the mattrr quift until they could perfect the purchase of th North St. Louis property. TnilMIXAL RAILWAY TO UE TWELVE MILES LOAG. The charter Is for a period of 293 years. The terminal railway is to be about twelve miles long and standard gauge. The raad will extend from a point on North Market street at or near First street, to a point en the St. Louis. Kansas City and Colorado Railway at or near Olivette In St. Louis County One thousand dollars have b-n subscribed for every mile of the road, and ; per cent of the stock has be-n raid up. in accordance with a State law. DfflnitPly. a-, stated by Rock Island offi cials In St. Louis yesterday, the St. Louis Rock Island Terminal Railway Company belt line will extend. In St. !Lou! City, from the northern city limits along Switzer ae nue to Thatcher avenue, thence through a private right-of-way, parallel to Bulwer street, ard then along. First street to North Market street. From the point where the road will leave the Northern city limits of St LouK to a olnt at or near Olivette, which Is six miles. Northwest of Clayton, in St. Louis Countj-. Rock Island officials stated that the course of the lxlt line had not been definitely de termined. The directors of the St. Louis Rock Island Terminal Railway Company or St. Louis are as follows: David R. Francis. W. P. Kennett. George I Samls and J. L. Camp bell, all of St. Louis, who have one share eaclu and M. A. Low, Topeka, Kas.. gen eral attorney or the Rock Island system. 11C shires. The appearance or David R. Francis. George L. Sands and J. L. Camp bell, all formerly connected with the Colo rado Railroad and the Gasconade Construc tion Compcny. lends some strength to the common belief among many financial men in St. Louis that the Rock Island did not purchase the Colorado Railroad outright SAY ROCK ISLA.tD OXLY CONTROLS COLORADO. The belief is, according to several finan ciers who have the situation In St. Louis well in hand, that the Rock Island onlv ncqulred control of the Colorado, and oth ers state that even control has not pae-l. It is also stated that the Rock Island pur chase did not Include the Colorado prop erty on the World's Fair site. No official announcement, as is customary, has ben made of the Colorado purchase. The property, for which It was reliably stated lesterday negotiations had been closed, consists of about twenty city blocks In North St Louis east of Broadway. Its location Is stated as opposite O'Fallon Park ' and Ilellefontaine Cemetery, between . Broadway and tne Mississippi River, ad joining the Burlington property. Repre sentatives of the Mercantile Trust Company have been negotiating for the purchase or this property, headed lijr U E. Anderson, vice president or the Mercantile Trust Com pany. This ip one of the biggest deals ever put through by Mr. Anderson. He refused yes terday to announce or to confirm reports concerning the transfer of the property to the Rock Island. M. A. Low, general at torncv of the Rock Island, before departing for Texas last night, stated that he had expected to be ready to make a public an nouncement of the purchase of the North End property, but that the details had not quite been flnlsned. Assistant General Attorney Evans of the Rock Inland remained In St. Louis to at- ! tend to KocK Jsracd negotiations' during Mr. Low's absence. The latter stated that he did not know when he would return to St. Louis. Tho North End property purchased will be used for yards. It will hold many miles of track, and will give the Rock Island one of the most advantageous freight yards In St. Louis. It -will be on a parity with the Burlington and other railroads having ter minal facilities in that part or the city. It will connect with the Terminal Belt. I1ELT LIXE TO COXXECT WITH THE VEXICE PERRY. The new belt line will have connections with the Venice ferry, the St. Lou Li Trans rer. the Burlington "K" line and the Mer chants Terminal. ThLs line, running out rirst street, swinging on" Into Bremen avc nui. and thence north on McKlsock. paral lel? the Wabash, running Inside or that company's belt to the city limits. The nffipprs fT the Jew Rnrlc Tdnml lielt line are as follows: M. A. Low, general at- J torney for the R)ck Island system, presl- oent; ueorge i. sanas, general manager oi the Colorado Railroad, secretary; F. E. Hayne, treasurer of the Rock Island, treas urer. George L. Sands yesterday filed with the City Register a blue print of the route or the St. Lduls-Rock Island Terminal Rail way or St. Louts, showing the right-or-way only within the city limits. Rock Island ofqelals state that-the rlchTt-or-way will -be definitely' decided upon through the county, belting St. Louis on the'ricrth and west to Olivette. Contruc ,lion or .the belt line will be begun at once, and the work pushed to completion as fa-it as possible, according to, official announce ment. Borne work has already bjen done ; on me line in tne ctty.

The charti-rlrg of the Rock Island belt line, in connection with the World's Fair terminal problem, means clearly that the company has followed its own plans. Yet Its deal -with the Park View Realty Com pany, owner of the Catlln tract. Is still en. It may be closed the first of next we-k. Negotiations are now nearer to a doe than at any time tlnce the Rock Island stirred up thf Wet End by purchas'ng property near the World's Fair site and the West End residence streets, and announcing that its intention was to build yards and freight houses M.

Francis, president of the Exposition Companv, and Interested In the Rock Island, and Moes Greenwood. Jr., of tho Park View Realty Company were alternately in conlerence. one with the other, until late in the evening. The Park View Realty Company, which Is expending more than J1.W).0 In improv ing Its imrncn-e tract or land north or tho World's Fair site ror exclusive residence purposes, is willing to stand an expense or more than S159.0CO for a ne right of nay for the Rock Island; that H. of standing that expense in making the change hlch will be nece-ary In changing the route and grade or the Rock Island into and through the Park View property. Mr. Low would not state yesterday that the new belt would be used lor pass-enser bulness. IVAD ASH HAS AGREED WITH WOIILD'S r.UIt PLAXS. It was inrerrcd rrcm his manner of state ment that the belt will be used ror frclchL which, with the Rock Island's entrance to i the St- Louis Terminal Railroad Association. , now onlv a matter or a few days, solves I the rreight terminal problem. It is under- I stooa that the abash ana Rock island have already agreed upon the changes to be made at the World's Fair site. It Is most likely that the Rock Island will run Its passenger trains over the Wa bah, which line will depress Its) tracks. Along this line the matter will be finally arranged within a week. The next meeting In regard to the World's Fair terminals Is pet .for Monday. Saturday will bring about further developments. The engineers and operatives or the rail roads Interested In tb arrangement or Fair terminals met Director or Works Taylor and President Francis or the Exposition Company yesterday, and went over the plan Tor the formation of a World's Fnlr terminal company to handle freight, and probably passengers, for the Fair Company.

Superintendent Davidson or the Frisco: Chlet Engineer Pruden or the FrLsco and Chier Engineer Lawler or the Missouri Pacific.

DETECTIVES SAVED CATTLEMAN John Iliiesineier Fell In With n Stranger at Union Station. Detectives Kllllan and Murphy saved John Hucmeler. a cattleman from Henriet ta. Tex., from being -fleeced" yeterday. They found him In company with two strangers in a saloon at Tenth end Mar ket streets. The men were working a new game on him, and he had lost 11$ when the detectives came up. Huesmeier met one of the strangers at Union Station and was es corted to the saloon. The game li worked with three coins. Three men conceal coins on a table, or bar. and raise their hands simultaneously ex posing the coins, as is done in matching penhies. If two turn up "heads' and the third "talis." the man who; coin turned up "talis" takes the money. So with heads. The odd man always, wins. It Is an easy matter for two men who are going to fleece a perron to agree how they will turn their coint O-.c will turn up heads each time and the other tails, so there is absolutely no chance for the victim. One of the men was arretted nnd locked up Gt the Four Courts. He gave the name of Robert Evans. Huemeler siys Evans passed a counterfeit dollar on him. Appli cation will be made to the Fodcral authori ties to-day charging Evans with counter reltlng. Evans positively denies that he was fleecing Huesmeier, or that he hart the counterfeit coin.

NET TIGHTENING ABOUT OISBROW William Walton Relates an Al leged Confession Made to Him by the Accused Man. FOSTER SHOVED FROM BOAT? Witnesses Testify They Saw Do feudant With ""Dimple' Law rence and Her Lover at Wa ter's Edge on Fatal Xight. REPUBLIC SPECIAL. Good Ground. U L, N. T., July 2. Knot by knot the web of evidenco Is being tied, fastening upon Louis Dlsbrow a guilty knowledge of the death of Sarah Lawrence and Clarence Foster. When court ad journed yesterday afternoon It bad been es tablished that Dlsbrow went at least as rar as the water's edge of Tlana Bay with Foster and Miss Lawrence. Witnesses were produced to-day by Dis trict Attorney Smith, who told or the wounds and bruises found on Foster's body when It was recovered. The presumption was made strong- that Clarence Foster received a blow which seat him sprawling rrom the boat Into the wa ter. Then William "Walton went careiully over the confession made to him by Dlsbrow when together they fled rrom Good Ground. Girl Repulsed DlabroTV. Walton's story was told ln a way that was convincing, ln spite of his own record. It was made stronger by Its conclusion. Disbrow told Walton of the incidents that marked the riotous night spent by himself with Clarence Foster and "Dimple" Law rence. He told that the girl had repulsed his advances, but Foster had been more successful. Dlsbrow told Walton of the fight with Forter. which followed the announcement by "Dimple" Lawrence that she and Clar ence were in lore with each other and In tended to go away together. It was a tragic story told In a simple man ner. All ln the courtroom leaned forward and listened as Dtsbrow's words were re- ! peated. They literally held their breath while Walton repeated Dlsbrow-a account of his fight with Foster how be had been beaten down and choked Into apparent sub mission, and how he had then seen his antagonist enter a boat. Story's Abrupt Endlnir. There the story stopped. What followed was not told. The climax was wanted. Dls brow, overcome, Walton said, by nervous ness, left it for bis hearer to picture for himself what was done when the defeated man saw his victorious rival start away with the girl for whom each had conceived an illicit love. Those In the courtroom to-day were left to Imagine what happened, and they had their Imagination stimulated by the testi mony of the other witnesses, who described how Clarence Foster's bruised and dis figured body had been drawn from Tlana Bay, and how "Dimple" Lawrence's dead face showed a cut over the left eye. It was all unpleasant for the defendant, who had recovered much or his nerve when he appeared this morning. The smile wftlch played across his race when the testlmony began soon disappeared, ard ln Its place was a look of worrlmenL While Walton was telling his story Dlsbrow often turned to hi" counsel, Rowland Miles, and held a whispered conversation. It did not appear from his actions that he denied much that was being told, but that he was afraid of Its effect. When he finally started for Rlverhead. where he will spend his Fourth of July ln the Suffolk County Jail, he was wan nnd worn, and lie did not respond o one n8 greetings that were offered to him by the few who still cling to a belief ln his inno- j cence. Coroner Xogent Contradicted. The first of the witnesses gave testlmony that flatly contradicts that given yesterday by Coroner Nugent. They told or the cuts and bruises found on Foster's head and face, something the Coroner had denied. He said that the skin was not broken. To day reputable men and a physician of ex perience srld that -i cnt. swollen and dis colored, ran across Foster's forehead, reaching to the bone. The physician also testified that he found proof that Foster had not died simply from drowning. One told or a bruise on top of the drowned man's head. He said that It was plainly discernible when the hair was brushed or parted. AOcr this statement was made. District Attorney Smith, with a show of warmth ln him. assorted that he was unable to ex plain to his own satlsraction how Coroner Nugent gave the testimony that he did yes terday. District Attorney's Statement. "Speaking to me before the hearing be gan." said the District Attorney. "Coroner Nugent referred to the cut on Foter"s fore head. He said that It was a deep cut. but It was of such a nature that he was unable to tell whether It had contributed to death. "1 was the most surprised man fa the courtroom when he testified that there was no break In the skin on Foster's head. "I will cot say that the Coroner lied, but I will say that when Louis Dlsbrow comes to trial before a Jury I will not call the Coroner as a witness, and If he Is called by the defense, I will take great pleasure In cross-quesUonlng him. I have four or five other witnesses by whom I can prove the wound over Foster's eye." Wm. Waltan, who told for the first time the detall:d story jf his trip to Eastport with Dlsbrow. when the latter related to him a part of what had taken place on the shore of Tlana. Bay the night before, was mercilessly cross-examined by Attorney MUes. but bis story has made a deep Im pression upon all -who heard It. because It fits ln perfectly with Miss Pearsairs story of what he overheard la the Temell Hotel and corroborates ber statements on almost ei erj" polnL One More Point to Establish. There now seems to be but one mora pclnt to establish In order to make a very substantial case against Dlsbrow. That Is the fact that Dlsbrow. Foster and Miss Lawrence all went out ln the same boat. Mr. Smith says he will prove that fact beyond all question. It Is rumored that he has very strong evidence on this point of the case that has not been heard or hinted aL Walton, on the stand, told of his Sight with Disbrow- to Eastport, their sleeping at a hotel and Dlsbrow's admissions next morning. "About 3 in the morning. Dlsbrow got up nnd awakened me by climbing over me." said Walton. " 'BUly.' said Dlsbrow, 'I am heart-broken.' Then ho said he and Clar ence Foster and 'DImpy' Lawrence had been over to the Hampton Pine Club the night berore. and after that they had gone over to Ternells ' here Walton paused. "Go on." said Mr. Smith. "Well, he told me they had a fight oa tho beach he and Clarence that Clarence had got him by the throat and throw him down. Before that he had told me that Clarence and 'Dlmp had called him down out of his room to say good-by to him. He told me that la the morning Mr. Ternell said to him: "What kind of a house do you think I'm running; herer " Were Going; Array Tocetber. "Did Disbrow say to you that ho loved Dimple" T" "No. he said that when they were down on the beach before the fight. Clarence said he loved the girl and the girl said she loved Clarence, and they were both gomg; away together." "Did Dlsbrow. at any time, tell you that 'Dlmp' and Foster occupied the same room. at Ternell'sr' "Yes. sir. He said they occupied the same room and Mr. Ternell called him up and showed him the room." "Did Diebrow say to you that 'DImpy' and Clarence went away together la & boat?" "Yes. sir." "What did Disbrow say he did after they went away In the boatT' "He didn't say." "He ended his story at that point, did her "Yes. sir." "That's all." said the District Attorney, and Mr. Miles began the cross-examination. Ternell to Talce the Stand. All along It has been suspected that Ed ward Ternell knew much more, about the happenings in his house on the fatal night than he has told. District Attorney Smith now admits It. Mr. Ternell will be cne of the first witnesses sworn noxt week, and it is expected that his testimony will be sen sational. He promised to tell all he knows when he is sworn. When It came out In Walton's story to day thit Ternell had taken Dlsbrow to the room occupied by Foster and Miss Lawrence on the night they were drowned, it caused a greater surprise than anything that has yet developed. Mr. Ternell bas denied any knowledge of Miss Lawrence being ln the bouse that night. Now it Is said that he la ready to teU an interesting story or much that hap pened, and that story will throw much light on the mystery. YOUNG LADY CASHIER ENTERS A CONVENT. 3Iiss Ella C.
