HOW GRAIN WAS SHIPPED At A SECRET RATE
FROM CHICAGO


Chicago. June 1O-The trial Of ofNcials Of the
Michigan Central road for alleged violation Of the
Interstate Commerce law began in the Federal Court
this morning. The defendants in the suit are A.
Mckay general freight agent Of the Michigan Central
T.. l.. Sommer. Of the Bluc Line and Mr. Nichols local
agent OF the Michigan Central These gentlemen are
charged with cutting grain rates in favor Of Charles
Counselman q Co. in November last
Counselman d Co.'S agent, Mr. >ade. was the first
witness for the prosecution His testimony was to
the effect that a contract was made between the de
PENDANTS and Counscman & co. by which the former
were to grain Ia New York for ls.2 cents per
100 pounds which about cents less than the
regular rates. These arrangements had been in effect
about three four weeks to the wtncsss knowledge
during which time several Of grain had been
shipped The witness explained how the shipments
made. Though all of the grain taken from
the santa Fe elevator in Chicago. controlled by Coun
seman & CO.. the bills Of ladng made 70 show
that it shipped from a point west Of Chicago.
This point, in railroad parlanCe. the cent
point That is 10 say. II point from which the
through rate to New York would be 10 per cent of
the rate from Chicago 10 Ncw-Yo:k In other words.
with the rate from Chicago at 20 cents the rate from
the point which the bills showed the grain to have
come would be 80 cents. BY an agreement hctween
the Eastern and Western roads through shipments
from the Opcrccnt pont the road west Of Chicago
was allowed 3.s cent, per 100 pound, for is pro
portion of the haul and tho road east Of Chicago the
Hmaning l-.2 cents. In tl, case the haul from inc
lOpcr- cent point 10 Chicago purely fictitious,
though the Michigan Central hauled the grain from
Chicago to New York at the same rate which il would
have charged had IL been accepted from a Western
railroad connection In other words. the - cents
which would. in the ordinary he paid To the
Western connection FOR it, part II the haul re-
turned Ia Counscman & Co.. making the net cost OF
transportation from Chicago IN New York lS.2 cents
per 100 pounds instead 81 20 cents, which was the
regular ratc-a saving Of l. cents.

Ne defence admitted that the regular rate was 90
cents. and that the road had given Counsclman Co.

TOO Muddy TO DRINK.
city Water Drives Total Abstainers To
the Saloons.


Probably never before In the history
of Washington has 1t been furnished
with such long. continued supply OF
muddy water rs ut present The water
that flows through the mains Is unfit to
furnish TO live stock. 1t Is not simply
roily, II is abomnably muddy. Even
milk dealers complain that they are
forced to bring spring water great dis
lance at much expense.
The water is totally unfit for drink
ing purposes, and about the only place
in which 1t seems TO assimilate with its
surroundings Is cup of boarding
house coffee.
A prominent Avenue restaur ateur
said of 1t this morning: I'VE always
use carefully filtered water, and / had
not realized the MISREPRESENTATION of
our water supply until | was struck
with the continual appearance of men at
my bar, whom ] have heretofore be-
lieved to be abstainers from all kinds
Of intoxicants / soon discovered that
they invariably called for soft drinks,
OF for beer, because they claimed they
could not stand the muddy river water
now flowing from the District
uyuIuulS.
Inquiries by THE CRITIC have dis
closed the fact that the supply comes
from the river (Which is now unusually
high and muddy, without being
filtered. The water was drawn off the
lower reservoir recently, in order to
make new connections, and the supply
has been brought around it in pipes and
has no time to settle.
Captain Lusk said he had nothing 10
do with this 1--WE merely distribute
the water after it. is turned over to us
for distribution" said he. THE pres
ent water reminds me of the st. Louis
and Cincinnati articles, which are muddy
and foul the year around. In fact
water in those cities never becomes
clear except a short while in winter
when the Ohio and Mississippi ART
frozen over. Then it cannot be com
pared in clearness to lemonade shaker
up with four.cent sugar"
Inquiries at the Aqueduct Office
failed to throw any light upor
the time when the connections
would be made. The authorities
there said that the water now
ran from the river in the first reservoir
but from that point it was run in pipes
around the second reservoir direct tC

Fort WORTH, TEX, Feb. 17.-H. T.
Cherry, a printer who arrived here
last night, tells that few nights ago a
safe at Alvarado was robbed of $500,
and he being stranger in the town was
arrested and placed in Jail. The fol.
lowing day he was released, as there
was no evidence against him. He went
from there to Morgan, and it happened
that shortly after his arrival in the town
$50 robbery took place. He was ar
rested on suspicion, but again released,
after which he returned to Alvarado.
The people hearing of his arrest and
discharge at Morgan took him out and
strung him up, demanding confession.
He claimed that he was innocent, and
was again strung up and the mob fired
their pistols in the air to brighten him.
He stoully maintained his innocence,
and after being nearly choked to death
was finally released.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Feb. 17.--Geo.
Preston, of Clay county, Ala, returned
home few days ago from Utah, where
he went ten m onths ago as convert to
Mormonism. He tells a thrilling story
of the treatment of converts by the
Mormons when they reach Utah. He
says the women converts are married to
elders, who in most cases have three or
four wives already, and if they offer
the slightest resistance they are flogged
or otherwise punished until they sub,
nit. The men, who have been prom.
Used homes and farms, are compelled to
give up all the money they have to the
Church. and then they are turned adrift
to live as best they can. Preston and
his young wife were converted to Nor
monism about a year ago by two elders
who were PROSECUTING in Clay county
They sold all they had and went to
Utah. Preston says his wife was stolen
from him and taken to Salt Lake City,
he thinks, but he was never able to
find any trace of her. He was then, by
threats, compelled to give the Church
all the money he had-$200-and then
he was told he must look out for him
self. He started home three months
ago and worked his way back.

Mr.. Donath's Ambition.

A movement is on foot by the labor
ing element in the various downtown
Departments to secure the appointment
of August Donath as Consul General to
Berlin. Mr.. Donath is chief clerk in
class four of the Pension Office and is
one of the national representative labor
men. He holds the position of presi-
dent of the board of trustees of the Ma
tional Typographical Union. From
the expressions heard from several
prominent labor people to-day they
seem to think that labor organizations
should receive more recognition from
the present Administration, and every
effort, it is said, will be made to bring
about Mr.. Domains appointment.

any and every description now occu-
pied by the companies shall be re-

city from tine north at the northern
