ABOARD OF CONTROL.
CHICAGO, ILL, March 2E TO. morrow
the Chicago Times will print the follow
ing regarding the answer to the BurliDg-
ton made by the Rock Island In The suit
brought in Judge Gresham's court, charg-
ing that the Burlington conspired to great
western railroad trust, and in pursuance
Of that policy held down rates fer some
time after other roads were willing and
anxious to restore them: "WitAnut any
reference 10 the merits of the charge
that the Burlington WAS seeking to estab-
lish trust, there WAS without doubt 8
movement in favor of crsatiBg what WAS
to be knSwn as IS board of CONTROL"
Which was to have power to decide all
questions arising between railroads in
Inc west, to arrange rates on and control
through and competitive business OF
western lines, and at the nrst Conference
held about month sgo, this plan was
submitted and rejected by large major
ity. Justly or not the impression pre-
vailed that 1t WAS the Burlington plan and
it was common gossip among ON
GERS that two members Of the
board Of control would have been
Ep Ripley, of the Southwestern, and J.
M. Falthorn, of the Western and North
western freight bureaus. The lGicials
were firmly persuaded that board thus
constituted would have been managed in
the1nterest OF the Burlington, and from
this belief srcse the intense opposition
10 It. At this same meeting
upon the proposition to restore rates the
Burlington representative voted in the
negative, 1t being understood that the
company would not scquiesce Until per-
manent agreement between the cOmpe-
nng roads had first been arrived at. Slrce
tn the eonfeIercs committee has agreed
upon report to be submitted to the man
ayers, which provides for an sac justIDg
board" to take up and settle disputed
questions and this is really board of
arbitration, its power being limited anti
right Of appeal arranged for. Suisse
quently the Burlington agreed to restore
rates, but for what reason has not been.

THE NEWEST STYLES In Fans.

The Different Kinds That are Carried b.
we'll Dressed Women.
There are an unusual number Of novel
ties in fans: some are Of clear grenadine,
striped with net or with silk; Others have
rows of narrow satin ribbon carried
across in such way that when closed
bordering each rib there are lines
Of close-set ribbon bows. A round
snapped fan, called the Lady Tee lie, is
made Of softest msrabout, with picture
in the centre, painted with Vatican
groupes, or something equally delicate.
A feather fan, to be effective must be
good. One Of the most beautiful is the
Prince Of Wales, composed Of three long
ostrich plumes and soft curled bunch Of
tips mounted In an ivory or mother-of
pssrl handle. The white ones are espee-
ially lovely.
