nulled by the court at no distant day. The

AN AID TO RAILWAYS
Freight Mans Argument in Favor
Of Traffic Associations.
The Proposed Passenger Sliding Scale
More Trouble Brewing for West
ern Railroads.

One of the brightest freight men on West
ern lines, in conversation yesterday, said
that he believed In traffic associations, that
the methods OF associations should be i'm
proved In every practicable manner, and
the efforts OF the higher officials should be
directed TO strengthening rather than weak
ening traffic associations. While the pro-
lection against r~ate-cutting that is afforded
by association traffic agreements and reg
ulationS has not proven fully adequate for
the situation, sometimes these organizations
have done much to keep rates more uni
form, yet as matters low stand rate-cut-
ting is a great factor against successful
railway management. It is a device that
can be used temporarily TO advantage by
almost any railway in the country against
competing lines, as in the recent cut OF the
Erie, which brought rates east-bound to
SO low a figure, but it's operation generally
is wholly unjust and destructive, because
normal rates, both through and local, are
now quite at bottom figures.
lie agreed with President ingalls, tE2t the
lnterState-cOmmerce act was not as seri-
GUS a blow at railways as has been al
legged, but he thought II would be wise TO
repeal the anti-pOoling clause in that act
and so amend the act that under certain
conditions pooling could be done where no
discrimination was shown In favor OF any
one shipper or any one class OF shippers
1t was a large undertaking., he said, however,
10 change the peculiar public sentiment
which insisted on the Incorporation OF the
intriguing clause IN that measure. Said
he: The term maintenance Of rates to the
railway manager or the present time means
nothing more than maintenance Of such
rates as VIII keep great railway properties

yesterday refused to upset the lower courts
finding. The crime was mmi in Henry
county on Sept. 10 last, and Walker was
found guilty in the Henry Circuit Court
and sent up for seven years. In his appeal
to the Supreme Court he assigns fourteen
reasons why the lower court erred In his
case. Among the errors assigned was a re-
fusal of his application for a change OF
venue because the feeling against him In
Henry county was so bitter. He claimed
he could not get a fair trial. Another was
the refusal OF his request for a continuance
ferred to should have time to die out. A
third error alleged was the admission Of the
evidence Of the deputy prosecuting attorney
of Henry county, who testified that Walker
had sent for him soon after his arrest, adj
mitted his guilt and offered to plead guilty
in 4 certain contingency. In regard to this
last alleged error, the Supreme Court held
that the prisoner knew who the deputy
prosecutor was. and that the latter, there
fore. took no advantage of him TO secure
the admission of guilt. The evidence in
question was accordingly held 20 have been

The Passenger sliding Scale.

In local passenger circles there is now
much discussion as to how the railroads
will divide the passenger. business under
the new association agreemsnt. Under the
proposed agreement no money is to be
paid by one road to another as an equal
izer, but II any road runs below it's allotted
percentage of business it will be allowed
to make lower rates until the increased
volume OF business shall make up the de-
hciency. II, on the other hand, any line
goes over its percentage. it will be COM
PEELED TO advance It's rates until the bust
ness is sufficiently diverted to give its
competitor its proper proportion of the
business. Tbs power to regulate and de-
eide all questions which may come up VIII
rest with q board OF arbitration. This
scheme Is much similar to that the roads
had in the Chicago and Ohio River Traffic
Association TO regulate rates on theatrical
business. II is said that some of the gen
eral passenger agents look upon this, prop
erly speaking, sliding scale with disfayor.
but whether their opposition will become
so pronounced as to affect the general
managers in the matter remains TO be seen.
PROFESSIONALLY, IL the plan is adopted and
works well, it will bring about economies
which Will revolutionize the passenger bust
ness.
