THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 14, 189 A PURDUE WHIRLWIND It Carried the Bntler Kickers Clear Off Their Feet. The Champions Win the Fir3t Intercollegiate Game by the Flattering Score of 30 to 0. THE SECOND HALF LIVELY DcPanw Eleven Defeats Indiana University 20 to 14. U. Boys Led at the End of the First llalf-fhe Xotre Dame Team Wins from Hillsdale, to 0.

Indianapolis felt the first thrill of collese nthualism for the year yesterday In the game played on the Ohio-street grounds, between the Purdue and Butler elevens. A lare crowd witnessed the game and the enthusiasm was high for so early In the ason. The coaching of Flint and new ac-cesaions in the way of players gave Butler hopes that the "preachers' team" would ajaln carry away the escutcheon of victory, and Purdue, wtio lacked confldence la themselves and had heard such reports of their competitors, was uneasy over the prospect. The game was of interest, too, from the fact that the new rules were to be exemplified and were to stand the criticism of Indiana enthusiasts. A3 usual Purdue carried away the victory by an easy score of 30 to 0 in the first baJf and no score by either side in the second, Butler stock was low at the end of the first struggle, but began to rise with the second when the seemed to catch some of the spirit of 'DO and gave promise, at times, of evening the score.

It was then that the Purdue throng and the Butler throng mingled tnelr voices in their vociferous yelis of applause and encouragement. The noise was at times deafening and the police lost control of the excited crowd which surrounded the teams and at times blocked the plays. The teams surged lack and forwards across the field, tout in fe whole second half neither scored though both were near iheir goals. Glfford made two terrific runs and both times escaped all his pursuers except the indomitable Fulkerson, the "Western Ileffeli'mger," who brought him down with accuracy if not with delicacy, and on the other side Jamison several times escaped for thi goal Lut was saved from scoring by the fine tackling of Foster or Adams. The first half was characterized by beautiful team playing on the part of Purdue and rather poor defensive work on the part of Hutler.

Kercheval scored some unusual rtns. Bushman three times made thirty yards for goal and Jamison was shot through the center time after time for runs ransing Irom ten to twenty yards, while Fulkerson practiced his great interference the pleasure of the connosseur. All were gratllled at the improvement in the Kamp resulting from the change of The heavy wedge plays are all -liminated. and the long kicks necessary increase the spectacular efTect. The play is rendered less dangerous, and the side and end plays, while no more scientific than the close center plays, are much more pleasing to spectators, and are rlly the lcature3 which gave the game popularity In this country.

Butler won the toss and gave Purdue the ball against the wind. Gerber kicked the fcall fifty yards down the field where it was caught by Robinson.

Butler lost on four downs and Purdue started for goal by several long runs by Jamison and Buschman, the latter making thirty-five yards, the longest run of the game. Kercheval made the last eight yards and the first touchdown in three minutes from the start. Fulkerson kicked goal beautifully. Iurdue, 6. Robinson kicked the ball thirty yards flown the field for Butler.

But the Butler men worked loosely, bucking the lln with nerve, but not systematically, and Purdue put Buchanan over the line ugain. and the score was raised to 12 by a tine kick from Fulk-rson.

He resumed his place and elicited great applause by a fifteen-yard run through the center and seemingly over the opposing team. Robinson again distinguished himself by a great tackle, saving an immediate goal by Jamison. Butler fought stubbornly but to no effect. Lister ence tackled Smith behind the line causing Purdue to lose five yards, but Purdue moved on and Jamison carried the bill over the line.

Fulkerson's accurate work added goal kick and the score rose to IS for Purdue. Jamison again returned the ball caught from Robinson and gained fifteen yards, then another fifteen through left tackle, tut was stopped by Hall.

The second half opened under new circum-f tances.

Gifford miking a terrible run of thirty yards, and but for Fulkerson would have twice gained the goal. Excitement ran high, and tne game had to be stopped to 1 clear the field of the crowd.

Kercheval, Gerber ant Marshill grew desperate, but the Butler men evaded them. Hall, Parker and Cullen dlspiaye 1 all their ability and the tide was stayed. Robertson, of Pur- due. was the occasion of much remark for his steadfastness against all but he and Fuikerson, tiie only veteran in the line, were poorly supported by the new men. Busehrnann was missed; and so the biltle wAi-fvl f.ir thp full srrnl Rut- ler had improved and lurdue played Tnlk HIi llnlllet.

Mr. Balliet, th3 Princeton coach, who snapped the ball for Princeton so long, was Interviewed at the Grand last night. "While he is especially Interested In Pur-'duc. he criticised the playing of both teams strongly. He said that fne line work of both teams was good, but the man who carried the ball failed to keep his he-ad, thus not striking the hole made for him and leaving his interference, besides tumbling wildly.

Butler's tackling, with few exceptions, was bad. the men grabbing at the neck instead of the knees. Gifford wa3 a nervy player and capable of making a great man on the li-Md. Mr. Balliet said Purdue's slow playing in the second half was somewhat due to precautions against wearing out the team, as on Monday Purdue plays the University of Wisconsin at Lafayette, the hardest game of the season.

He expressed him-relf as pleased with th chanw In. rules. The old flying wedge had envoived lh to a really dangerous play. The start off, as at present, is an advantage to the drfenae in tnat they gain iossession of the ball, although they liave more ground to gain, and the tendency is to keep down the score if the teams are unevenly matched. Kicking i3 now necessary, cannot be evaded, and gives beauty to the game.

Tandem plays succeed tae flying interference, another advantage to the spectator. Ho says the Purdue team Is a green ttam, only having three old men left, but he has high hopes for the team." Eastern Ten 111 n. Balliet, Princeton's old reliable center rush, was asked as to opinion as to the Eastern championship for ISOt. He replied that it Is a toss-up between Princeton and Yalo. If Princeton's material makes the expected development she will again bt champion, but at present there is, doubt.

Yal(? will win the Harvard game at Springfield. The new rules operate against Harvard, compelling her to reform hr methods of and rendering her former heroes less valuable. She has depended upon De Laml'i tactics, and they are all legis-tml cut. Yr.le never played those tactics to any extent, and. having practically tha team this year, will not be injured by the chsnge.

The new ruies favor rather than Princeton, for Yale has a better full back, but Princeton has bettor half backs, and her old line is intact with the exception of himself. Phil King is coaching Princeton, and Jack McMaster3. the old Scotchman, is still attending to the training. Walter CnmD is coacher for Yale. Both he and Mr.

King will employ Individual cc.ehc3 nt different tlme3, and a gigantic eTort will be made by both to secure the victory. AprnpoN of Tlinnli cri vlnpr flnme. The Journal last night received reliable information to the effect that the rumor concerning the removal of the Thanksgiving game to the seat of the college holding the championship is unfounded. Such a step was suggested to the Association of College Presidents, but no action has yet been taken nor will any such action be taken this year. The laws of the Intercollegiate Athletic Association require that the game bs played each year in Indianapolis and the Sta.e grounds have been leased accordingly.

It has the unanimous wish of th? college students that the game occur here in order that It may be a State event and within the reach of all. The Punlue and DePauw teams are now making detailed arrangements for the day. which will be an unusual one if the present enthusiasm keep. up. Indianapolis people may prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving day in the most approved manner and buy ribbon accordingly.

Pretty Spectacle nd Interim. During the intermission there occurred a pretty spectacle in the way of driving and horseback riding. A number of well-mounted ladies and gentlemen made the circuit of the grounds, the spirited horses enjoying the races as well as the spectators. A very pretty outfit was the large tallyho, drawn by four roan horses, which hauled the Butler players. A smart rig was a lighter old gold and black tallyho drawn by two hays and containing Messrs.

Mc-Hewltt, Varney and Wiley and the Misses Fahrquar, Woods. Lycn3 and Laycock, 'who waved tbe Purdue colors. A carry-all of Butler people decorated with heavy streamers of blue and white; a smart trap driven by Ed Gates, Art Smith and the Misses Callahan and Miller, and another driven by Newt Rogers and party were among the "howy outfits that joined in the procession and made the scene a gay one. An Incident of Trnlntnjr. Coacher Balliet illustrated the rigorous enjoyed by Eastern teams last night when he called the Purdue men arcund him and told them that if they cared to and "would all go together with the captain they might go to the theater, but that they must return immediately and retire.

He cautioned them not to Indulge In either smoking or drinking, to any extent whatever, and that any men who disobeyed would be immediately retired from the team. One young man had made another cnpra.arement which he was required to break and, having seen Superba to his content, retired early. Such is training at Purdue and a few weeks' training will probably develop a strong team from the present material. JC PAHV, 2i I. IO.

RUN LIKE LOTTERIES IJOM) COMPAXICS AVITII SCIIKMKS OP QUESTIONABLE CHARACTER. Efforts of Government Officers to Break Them l'p by Closing the Malls to Their Business. WASHINGTON, Oct. 13. The continued operations of bond investment organizations is causing constant work at the Post-office Department.

Active efforts have been made for some time by the department to break up the business of various concerns of an alleged lottery nature, but the results have not been very The latest company barred from the use of the mxils is the Equitable Loan and L-ecuritsr Company, of Atlanta, Ga. This action has ju5t been taken by the department on the ground that Its scheme is similar to that condemned by the Circuit Court of Appeals In the McDonald test case. The company practically operated a bond Investment scheme. As-sitant Attorney-general Thomas, who is conducting the prosecution of the violators of the lottery laws, said to-day: "Our work is principally with bond investment companies against fivowed lotteries. The business operated by the big concerns is on the decrease, but more of the smaller ones have come to my knowledge in the last.

two or three months than heretofore. There are a number of our cises pending. In Philadelphia is that of the United States against Durland, president of the Providence Bond and Investment Company. In Cincinnati the Enterprise Savings Association is suing the postmaster, to compel him to receive and transmit its mail. The Pettis County Bond Investment Company, of Kansas City, and th National Investment Society of this city are -seeking to accomplish the same thing.

Out of all these cases the probability Is that the law in relation to bond investment companies will be well set. led by the courts during the next two or three months. The schemes involved in all of them, thoucrh differing in detail, agree substantially In priciple, and the department has held all of them to be lotteries. There are two factors in the destruction of their business, the war made by the to exclude their literature from the maibs, and the fact that they are actually fraudulent and are not conducting their schemes honestly. This refers to avowed lotteries.

How the Express Car Was Dynamited, the Messenger Overawed and Between 150,000 aud 200,000 Stolen.

'SUSrECT" UNDER ARREST Robbers Supposed to Be Coxeyite or Railway Employes. Six or Seven in the Gansr Humorous Tliases of the "Hold-iy; The Southern Pacific Robbery. NEW YORK, Oct. 13. The train which was held up last night on the Richmond, Fredericksburg Potomac railroad, reached the Pennsylvania depot at Jersey City, at 8:03 this morning, bringing with it a badly-shattered express car.

The Adams Express Company messengers left the train and proceeded at once to the headquarters in New York. They reported that all of the safes had been rifled by the robbers. It is supposed that the bandits obtained between $130,000 and When the express car. which is the one belonging to the Atlantic coast division, was sidetracked, pis.sengers, passers-by and trainmen gathered around to examine a spectacle unique in the history of railroading in this section. It was found that the heavy oak doors had been splintered by the sticks of dynamite forced Into the car by the robbers.

In addition to this the marks of revolver bullets were plainly visible. Every pane of glass in tho windows of the car had been shattered by the force of the explosion, and fragments of glasa are still scattered over the floor of the car. The officials of the Adams Express Company, in charge of the car at the depot, claimed that only the pouches and safes had been ransacked. The other packages in the car remained intact. Trainmen were, as usual, reticent about discussing the affair, but Col.

J. M. Shacklefordt a newspaper man who happened to be on board the train at the time, discussed the incident freely and gave a graphic account of the manner in which the robbers secured their plunder and made their escape. Mr. Shackelford-was formerly an editor of the Newark Journal.

He is now connected with the Times-Enterprise, of Thomasville, Ga. lit told the following story: "About seven or eight miles the other side of Quantioo station the train came to a sudden standstill. Qunt5co station is lo-lated on the Potomac river, on the Virginia side. When the train stopped, the conductor, M. A.

Birdsong, was thus addressed by one of Ihe masked robbers, evidently the gang's captain: 'Throw up your hands, or we'll blow your brains out." From tho manner In which they arranged the signals for stopping the train, as well as the manner In which they afterwards made their escape, it is evident iiiat several of the gang were experienced railroad men. That they were desperate men was even more evident and the conductor and the fireman lost no time in obeying their instructions and wisely, too, I guess. SIX OR SEVEN IN THE GANG. There were at least six or seven masked men, and I could plainly distinguish them all in the clear moonlight of the early evening, in fact so near did they come to me that, in spjte of their masks, I al most-sure that4 1 could recognize some of them if I could see them again from certain- or speech. When the alarmed passengers crowded out of the cars to see what was the matter, the robbers fired a perfect fusillade of shots to Intimidate them as well as to frighten the railroad men.

Ths robbers rifled the express car without loss of time. They put their sticks of dynamite under the door of the express car and blew it open. The manner In which these men got on the train was a mystery at first, but we afterwards discovered that they all probably boarded the car at White Brook station a few miles the other side of Quantlco station. They evidently climbed upon the platforms, and. while the car was in motion, worked their way along the top of the cars until they succeeded in boarding the tender aud cab.

-Then, without any ceremony, they held up the engineer and fireman. The engineer Is named Frank (Jallagher. He was an old employe of the road and as brave as-could be, th road men tell me, but two or three of the villains attended to the engineer while two or three more of them attend-d to the express messengers and another one or two kept guard on the passengers and trainmen. Some of the desperados even went so far as to converse in a clever daring fashion with passengers and trainmen. This made us all the more indignant but we could do nothing to help ourselves "All of the passengers were cool and collected after the first flush of the excitement was over.

I remember it struck, me as being a humorous thing when we found out after examination of all of our pockets that we had only one pistol to the entire crowd, and that a little bit of a one, and the mischief of It was that it would not work at all when the owner of it tried to discharge it at the robbers as they disappeared in the darkness. But that was not half so laug-hable as was the Incident of one woman who had a little dlamonG studded watch. She tried to get her husband to swallow it in the excitement, but he declined to attempt the preservation of the watch in. that fashion. "The most novel thing in the entire proceeding was the way In which the robbers made their escape.

They cut the engine loose, piled their plunder into the cab and then the whole crowd piled in upon the top of It. Thy turned on steam and started for Quantlco as fast as the engine could carry them. Of course, that left us stalled In the middle of the road. The conductor and engineer pursued the engin on foot as fast as they could run for six or seven miles. When they reached Quantlco station they found that the desperadoes had turned the engine loose; that it was running wild, and that through the cleverness of the operator it was side-tracked and ditched just in time to prevent a collision with a south-bound train.

Everything seemed to come their way. At any rate they had tho thing well planned and well executed. They had a bat in readiness near Quantlco station, and we all thought that they succeeded in getting across to the Maryland shore with their plunder. "I was tcld that they overlooked one pouch in the car in their hurry. I dju't know just how much they got away with, but some of the trainman thought it must amount to at least or possibly The express messengers did the best they could to prevent the robbers from getting into the car, but the dynamite and the revolvers of the gang were enough to make any man weaken.

They threatened to kill the messengers on the spot if they refused to open the safe. The messengers refused to yield to their demands until the captain of the gang said: 'I'll giv you just thirty seconds to get to wrk." Then the men gave in." President L. C. Weir, of the Adams Express Company, Is of the opinion that the amount of money lost will not exceed $30, 00), but says It may reach J1C0.W. The destruction of the way bills made it difficult for him to ascertain the exact amount.

He'said that the "robbers had taken all the money contained In the express car, but had overlooked two pacltages of bonds worth J16.5CO and also failed to secure a quantity of jewelry. Meftftenater CrntelifieliPw Story. WASHINGTON. Oct. of last night's hold-up at Quantlco of the northbound express train on the Richmond, Fredericksburg Potomac railroad add to its darinrr character and also tend to show that several cf the robber gang were men of experience in the railroad business.

Seven men composed the gang, and their demand for the way bill when the express messenger declared that one safe was empty, and a remark they made to the fireman cautioning liim about disconnecting the air brake tubes when he uncoupled the engine tn their demand show that some members of the gang had been railroad hands at time or another. Besides, after the imglne was uncoupled it was boarded by the robbers and run by then ustU ctjr Yl2 vrttrr ctitlsrs. a short distance from the scene of the hold-up, where they abandoned and sent It ahead running wild. Express messenger Crutchfield thinks the I booty secured was or more. He gave this account of the robbery: "But on robber entered the car.

He was of heavy build and "dressed like a farmer, although he seemed to thoroughly under stand the express business, lie had a red handkerchief over the lower pirt of his face. When the train was stopped I opened the car door. The robber a shot at me. I fired back and closed th door. He called, 'Open the I did not do it.

'Onen hat door or I'll blow the whole car to pieces with wa3 the next order. "Then the robber threw a stick of dynamite. It struck the doo1 and shattered it and the caie. The force of the explosion knocked lne off my fpet. I then opened the door The one robber came in and made me open the safe.

He took evrything. There was one package which he must have thought contained only papers, for he threw it into the box. It contained Then he said: 'Open that other 'That is simply a deadhead I said. Th it he retorted. 'Show me your way bill for "I started to get the bill and he said! 'Keep your hands up.

Show me the paper. I'll get it: He looked at the bill and was satisfied that the second safe contained nothing, which waa true. The man was very cool all the, time. We had seven or eight through express pouches, each containing packages of money; how much I cannot guess. The man cut a small slit in each pouch and took every package." Local representatives of the company say that the amount of booty the robbers gained probably cannot be learned accurately until but they incline to the belief that J130.000 is a lerge exaggeration of the loss.

One theory here as to the identity of the robbers is that they were fcrmerly members of some one or the other of the numerous bands of so-called "Industrials" who were attracted to the national capital by the Coxey movement. The local police believe that they were not professional thieves, but wre men familiar with tho train service. The demand for the "manifest," they believe, Indicates that at least one of them was a railroad man. It has been Impossible to ascertain how many robbers were engaged in the hold-up. Two stood guard over the engineer and fireman and one went into the express car.

There was more or less shooting about the train, and the talk heard by the trainmen indicated that the robbers meant to keep the passengers in the train. "Step aside. Jim, and see if I can hit the head of those fellows hanging out on the platform," one was heard to say, and this was followed by a shot, had a tendency to make passengers keep their heads in and not undertake to pry Into what was going on forward. Among the passengers was Senator Blanchard, of Louisiana, and the people of the little place assert that he took his fright with the balance of the passengers. A suspect was arrested here to-day by the police.

The man possesses a high, shrill voice, and those who wtre on the express train recall the fact that a noticeable trait of one of the robbers was his penetrating falsetto voice. While in the lodging house at which he was arfested the man intimated that he had been concerned in a robbery and had net been treated fairly in the division of proceeds, claiming one time that he had been ignored by his associates. Eater he denied this statement. Soon after his arrest the express officials in the city were notified, and they, accompanied by messenger Critchfield, who was in charge of the looted car, hurriedly rode to the station. They had a short conference with Lieut.

Amiss, but soon afterwards left without visiting the prisoner's cell. TUB SACIIAMKXTO ItOIinERY. Over 50,000 Secured by the Bandits Theorlen of Detective. SACBAMENTO, Oct. 13.

Over was the value of the booty secured by. the two train robbers who held up the overland train between this city and Da-vldsville. It is doubtful whether a richer haul was ever male by train robbers in this State. The tact and intelligence shown by the robbers was such as to lead the officers to expect a long, hard chase. Wells, Fargo Co.

and the Southern Pacific company recognize the firct that they have no ordinary criminals to deal with. The two corporations have each offered a reward of $2,500 for the capture of the robbers -and So.OCO for the recovery of the coin. This is in addition to the usual State reward. The rewards are sufficiently large to put the most skilled detectives- and the bravest officers on their track. They are beginning to gather and take the trail.

Every clew is being followed, every mark examined, every theory given a hearing. As yet, however, the robbers are free. They secured four fat sacks of coin. Three were full of gold. In one was the less valuable white metal.

Two of the sackri contained each. In the third was the sum of The fourth sack was full of silver and it is presumed the full booty of the robbers was between $51,000 and $53,000. The weight of the plunder was so great that it is supposed the bandits have cached it near the place where -they left the engine. The detectives are working on three different theories. All of thfse theories agree that the men are ex-employes of the Southern Pacific and reside in this city.

One of the theories is that one of the robbers buried the" money in the woods and afterwards disposed of their arms, masks and linen dusters and crossed the bridge into Sacramento. Those opposed to this theory claim to believe -the money was buried somewhere in the neighboihood of where the engine was reversed and sent back, but that the robbers crossed to the Sacramento side of the river in a boat, which they had either stolen for the occasion or which was furnished by a confederate. The other theory, and the one that seems to have a large number of adherents. Is that the men had a buggy standing near by, into which they loaded the money and then drove up the river to a spot where they had a confederate awaiting their arrival with a boat, by means of which they could row across and enter the city from the north or east. Traces of a buggy in the soft ground near the track have been discovered.

Another circumstance in line with this theory is that a buggy has been missing from a stable in this c.ty since the afternoon preceding the train robbery. Three Sentenced. OGDEN. Utah, Oct. 13.
