Railroads Cannot Agree on the
Worlds Fair Trip Rates

WpfNl totF 4btP feotse.
CHICAGO. March D.-When the West
ern Passenger association meets next
Monday il is hardly probable that the
matter of worlds fair rates will be- set
tied. a. had been the intention When
the last meeting postponed considera-
iion of the rates TO Mondays meeting.
il was contingent on previous
meeting of trans Missouri officials
and the formation 81 passenger
association for trans Missouri territory.
This meeting will be held next Tuesday,
and it may be a week or n month after
that TIME before an agreement is reached.
The Decentralization in trans Missouri
passenger rates is daily growing worse.
and il will he almost impossible 10 main.
tain them in the comparatively limited
western passenger territory until this
decentralization is etopped.
At last four western lines are known
to have made contracts for thousands OF
passs ngers at rates approximatlng one
fare for the round trip. and the only
chance for the adoption of the rates pro
posed BY the Western association Is to
make no reference to contract rates.
That the Wisconsin Central does not in
tend TO maintain rates was made evident
today when that road gave notice OF its
withdrawal from the association ten
days after the Burlington shall have es-
tablished it's proposed twelve-hour train
between Chicago aud st. Paul.

HE'S THIEF
How Sutton Has victimized the
Louisville Banks
TO THE EXTENT OF slso,OoO
Developments In the Whisk, Forgery
show That . Gigantic Fraud
Has Been Perpetr~sed.

Lorrsv,ILE. KY. March 30.-Tbe de
velopment in the whisky forgery of
warehouse receipts indicated siupendous
and systematic piece OF fraud. How
far il may reach there is no telling. hut
il threatens 10 involve others not yet
mentioned in-the affair.
Jim the Penman" has been at work.
but who he il has not yet been dis
covered. Ii is the prevailing opinion.
however. that A. X. Sutton is responsi-
ble for the fraud. The thing has been
going on for over year with steady
increase in volume.
From reliable scourccs. which cannot
be quoted just now. il IL learned that
the Louisville banks hold $4,000 IL the
forged paper Ii is so distributed. how
ever. that the credit 81 none ~ the in
stitutlons ia affected But for the fact
that each is endeavoring TO protect II.
self i'm the matter and that all are work
ing for individual advantage. Sutton
would be behind the bars long ere this.
Ii is also believed here that much
forged paper has been floated in Gin
cinnati. Ii is known that at least 81.
0oo of the worth1rss receipts are held IN
Kansas City. There is no extenuating
circumstance in Sutton's transactions.
At the time he put out the forged paper
he had no financial standing and il was
not temporary expedient he reeorted
TO in a desperate strait 10 protect his
credit. as is the history Of duplicated
warehouse receipts.
A Gigantic Swindle.
II was simply gigantic swindle from
first to last Sutton claims he put up
the money thus raised as margins for
whisky purchased. Where this whisky
is has not yet been discovered. but Sut-
ton SAYS it is distributed over half a
dozen different points. Genuine ware
house receipts are out against al OF IL.
but who the holders are is another ques
ton. These receipts cover an interest of
from As to Sl0 per barre. and Sutton
says his marginal interest amounts in
the aggregate To $4,000. which he still
maintains Is more than sufficient TO
meet all of his obligations In view of
other statements he has made. how
ever. not much reliance is placed in this
claim.
About noon today il was learned that
the Cincinnati hanks have been caught
for nearly as large an amount as those
Of this city. and that the amount OF
fraudulent receipts out will reach the
total of $4,000.
