for the year 1895, covers
the territory within the jurisdiction OF
the Western Freight association and the
probably before it becomes effective the
Utah and all the Texas southwestern
lines will co-operate, so that all roads
west and southwest OF the Mississippi
will be united in a strong effort to cut
down the passenger limits for the COM
ing year. The Southern Pacific is also
a party tn this agreement.
The intent of the agreement is to
limit the issuance of free transporta-
ton, annual time and trip passes, mile
age tickets and all forms OF free or re-
duced trans portation as far as possible.
No free or reduced transportation is to
be issued to influence business in either
the freight or passenger departments.
In general the policy will be to de-
cline to issue annual or time passes to
agents or conductors Of connecting linea
or members of their families Except on
the request OF the president, vice-presi-
dent, general manager or general super
intendent OF linea that are parties to the
agreemenD, to representatives OF street
or cable lines, representatives OF foreign
lines, coal sales agents, coal agents or
other commercial representatives., re-
frigerator. tank and all other private
car lines not owned or controlled by the
lines subject to the agreement.
The exchange OF annual passes shall
not be made to apply to linee OF less
than % miles in length unless directly
connected with membership lines, and
for lines less than 100 miles only
passes ahall be iseued. Business men
or shippers or those IL a position to in
fuence business shall not be furnished
with iree transportation as bondsmen in
local or aaxiliary companies, nor shall
shippers of any kind be placed upon the
peyrols for the purpose OF furnishing
transportation.
An executive committee has been
formed of which Commissioner Midgley
is chairman and the membership COM
posed OF two managing officers OF the
lines at each of the following terminal
points Chicago. ST. Louis, Kansas City,
Omaha, St. Paul. Denver.
The members at each terminal point
will act as q subcommittee to pass upon
all applications for paeses originating in
the respective territories, and daily
report shall ne made of all applications
and the disposition OF each application
to the chairman. A managing officer,
however, will have authority to issue a
pass on duly notifying the chairman
that he has done so.
The sentiment OF some OF the MEM
ber1 of the committee was decidedly in
favor of wiping out free transportation
entirely, but no minority report was
rendered, as it wae known that the fore.
going modified report would receive
unanimous support. 1t was drawn up
much in the lines of the anti-passenger
agreement of 1894. which died before
the snow was off the ground from an
aggravated attack of bad faith.
The new agreement will become ef-
fective January l, 1890.

ment alleges that he shipped stock from
Kansas City to Chicago under a special
rate allowed him by the president oi
the company, at $40 par car, which was
SIG 50 per car less than the rate the COM
pany was giving in the tariffs filed by
the latter with the interstate commerce
commission.
Attorney Shields, who conducted the
investigation, said the other three in
dicted men were not prominent, and
he feared they woud run away il their
names were made public before the

he sgys, ie two years. imprisonment or a
fine of $500, or both, in the discretion
OF the court.

veetiRations by the interstate commerce
commission. The attorney general se-
signed one OF his assstants, Mr.. Shields
| to conduct the case and to secure indict-
! ments. Mr.. Shields success in securing
| the indictments gives much satisfaction

which is believed to be covered by re-
bates.
