The Grand Jury at Work,

The Kansas City Times says: The United
States grand jury investigation of cut
freight rates at Kansas City is the sensa-
ton of the hour in railroad circles. There
were two interesting developments yester-
day One is that the United States author
tiles are after Traffic Manager Knight of
the Wabash road for authorizing the giving
OF rebates to the Doggett dry goods com
pany of Kansas City. 1t is said that in
June, 1890, check was paid the dry goods
company of 1921, for rebates on shipments
of goods from New York for the six months
commencing December. 1899, and ending
June, 1890. 1t is said that the check was
paid by Mr.. p. J. Tapp. who was then the
Kansas City agent of the line.
The other development was that the Mis-
souri, Pacific was being pushed with a
sharp stick for manipulating waybills on
shipments of hog products from the South.
United States District Attorney Neal SAID
yesterday that the investigation was to be
general, though, he said owing to the Sc
crecy with which the inquiry wonld be
conducted he was not at liberty to say
much about it. Special Agent Kretschmer
of the interstate commerce commission
gave his testimony yesterday afternoon.
The railroad men were on hand early in
the morning, but owing to counterfeiting
case that was first on the docket for con-
sideration, they were not put on the stand.

katY'S Position.

To one who will take j few moments for
reflection, the absurdly ridiculous position
in which the Missouri. Kansas and Texas
railway company has been placed, cannot
but be observed. A law was passed in the
legislature of Missouri at its last session
requiring headquarters of roads over GER
tain mileage in the state to be maintained
within the state The laws of Kansas re-
quire all roads operating in that state to be
incorporated under the laws of Kansas, and
another act provides that all roads char
tered in Kansas must have general offices
in the state. A similar law obtains in Texas
and will probably obtain in the Indian Ter
ritory when il arrives at the dignity of
statehood. Hence the Katy, operating its
owned and leased lines in three different
states must provide general headquarters
in each state, requiring three heads of each
department and a consequent clerical force
at each point to transact business that can
! be handled more satisfactorily and more
economically by one staff 1t would
seem to an ordinary business man
as if division headquarters would be
sufficient 20 comply with the law to all in
tents and purposes, but Governor Hum
phreyS of Kansas emphatically declares
that the general offices must be moved from
Sedalia 10 Kansas. As the company owns
valuable property in Sedalia which would
be rendered practically useless, the injuS-
tice of the demands of Kansas is apparent.
In the meantime the company is threatened
with bankruptcy by lawsuits in Missouri
and Kansas, and is between the devil and
the deep sea, literally as well as figur-
atively. In these days of CANCER legisla-
ton the railroad officials life is not all
Strewn with thornlesS roses.

The San Antonio and Arkansas Pass.


WACO, Ten, Sept 23-Various legal pro-
ceedings have been published regarding the
claim of Gurley, Ross & Gurley of this city
against the San Antonio and Arkansas Pass
railway for grading the Waco branch of
the road. An injunction was first issued
by Hon. L. w. Goodrich, restraining the
railway from building from Cameron te
Lott until the claim for grading was
paid. Judge King of the Folty'
fifth judicial district, III which .Ssodft
the receivership of the road is vested,
issued an order restraining Gurley, Ross &
Gurley from interfering with the receivers
in building the road The receivers then
put gangs of men at work at each end of
the gap. working night and day, closing the
gap. Now the matter takes another phase
Hon. L. w. Goodrich of this city has issued
an attachment for the six foremen in
charge of the construction gangs, ordering
them to appear and show cause why they
should not be fined for contempt of court
for disobeying the injunction of his court.
He has also issued an order to the sheriff of
Milan county to disperse the mob and ar
rest the ringleaders. who are engaged in
obstructing the grade belonging to Gurley,
Ross & Gurley, with ties, rails, etc.
This is an interesting point of flaw, coming
out at clash of orders of two circuits.
judge King holds that as the receiver is
vested in his court, the claim of Gurley.
Ross & Gurley should have been made be-
fore him, and Goodrich is determined his
injunction shall be obeyed, and he con-
strues the construction gangs as mob
treSpassing on property

The Board of Commissioners Rulings

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. 23.-T'our decisions
by the board of commissioners of the West
tern traffic association We're given out to-
day by Chairman Walker.
The first denies the application for re-
duction of minimum weight on fruit
shipped in refrigerator cars from "A, coo to
10000 pounds, and the second sustains the
action of the Western freight association in
asking the classification committee
to change the classification of
sewing machines, set up, to third class,
minimum 10000 pounds. The decree sets
forth that the Southern Pacific and Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe roads acted in
violation of the presidents agreement in
Withdrawing the leather traffic between
California and Texas from the jurisdiction
of the Western traffic association, and that
rates on such shipments should be at once
restored to their former bases.
