WASHINGTON, d. c., April 26.-The
Democratic members OF the Senate Com-
mlttee on Finance held a meeting to-
day, for the purpose of comforting over
the proposed changes in the tariff bill,
which have been under consid GRAFTON
for several days past. Secretary Car
isle was before the Committee. There
is no room for doubt that the committee
agreed upon a policy with reference to
the tariff bill, but all parties TO the
conference are very reticent as TO the
proceedings. 1t is known that some
changes ia the income tax were agreed
TO, and it is also known that this part OF
the bill in some shape will be retained.
# has been altered so as not 70 discrim-
mate against persons who derive their
Income from corporations or base part
nership, and other changes have also
been made, which IL is believed will sat
isfy its opponents. There is good rea-
son also for believing that amendments
TO many Of the schedules have been
agreed to. Secretary Carlisle is In sym
pathy with the efforts OF the committee
to obtain bill that will surely pass by
a party vote, and there is good reason
for believing that the movement has
the sanction OF the President.

The Situation Kansas City Looks
Hacker Since Noon Today
KANSAS CITY, Mo, June 30, 1 p. M
The strike situation here is growing
worse for the railroads. The Santa F6
has 1900 cars in the Argentine yards,
500 of them loaded. The switchmen are
deserving their own organization in large
mum bers aud joining the A. R. U.
All of the sWitchmen in Argentine are
said to be A. r. u. men and the organi-
zation is considered strong enough here
on all roads to effect a tie-up. The
switchmen have received order from
the A r. U. to strike tomorrow on all
roads in this city. 1t is believed they will
do so generally.
The Santa Fe discharged all of It's en-
p1oyes, numbering about 400 men at Ar
gentine today. The company has brought
eleven firemen from St Louis and it is
hiring all the men it can get to act as
switchmen and will attempt TO resume
traffic tomorrow or Monday with new
men.
All the switching on the Santa Fe is
being done by officers and clerks of the
road. No through trains from the west
on the Santa Fe nave arrived here since
Tuesday. The Mexico train on the Santa
Fe due to leave here at noon today has
been abandoned.

CAPITALIST THAYER SUES
Alleges That the Trust Company OF
AmerIca Has Defrauded Him.


AmerIcs Has Defrauded Him.
A suit for $4,000 against the Trust
Company of America, formerly the Kan
sss Loan and Trust company, I. B.
Sweet. Geo. Nj. Noble and E. NJ. Sheldon,
was filed today in the United States cir
cult court.
This is one of Topeka's largest and
most prosperous loan companies. IL
occupies the entire first floor of Governor
Crawford's building, on the southwest
corner of jackson and Fifth street.
The suit is brought by r. II. Thayer,
a capitalist of Buffalo. N Y, for money
advanced on loans and for interest and
taxes, and also includes $4,000 damages
for what he alleges is misrepresentation
and fraud.
He charges through his attorneys
Quinton & Quinton, and Overmyer &
'Isenhart, that he advanced $1,000 on a
loan to John r. Baxter of Dickinson
county, taking a mortgage on 1440 acres
of land as security, and alleges that the
application upon which he made the
loan not the original one made by
Baxter, but was altered for the purpose
of deceiving him. He also charges that
false representations we're made about the
financial condition of Baxter. He also
made two other loans through the COM
pany, which he charges were also Sc
cured through land.
The petition also alleges that the COM
pany paid taxes and costs of foreclosure
against the pro perty without informing
him and when he attempted to secure
titles he was compelled to pay the COM
pany IL per cent interest on all money
advanced by the company.
The petition attacks the reorganiza-
ton of the Kansas Loan & Trust compa-
ny as the Trust Company of America,
as done to defraud its creditors.
Thayer claims that he has advanced
$3.50 %, and be asks judgment for that
amount and $4,000 for fraud and mis-
representation charged.
The above is synopsis of what is al
legged in the petition, and on their face
the charges appear serious. The answer
to the petition by the company which
has always stood high among business
firms of the west. may cast "a much diff
ferent light on the matter.
