SUTTON LAW IN FORCE.
Clerk LeaveIl Held Funds Too Long
Attorn ey-GeneraI's Fee.

The Appellate Court yesterday affirmed
the decision of the Randolph County Court
giving Benjamin T. March a judgment
against Richard A. Leavel ct al. Leavell,
as clerk. had collected $14.000 in various
taxes and fees and permitted the money 10
remain in his hands. instead of paying it to
the treasurer, until the Encouragement
collected, charging the county "a fee of 81
900 for the service. March, prosecuting at
torney of the county, sued under what Is
known the Sutton law Of 1883 to recover
the amount of this fee from Leavell and
his bondsmen. This law the passage of
which procured by Bellamy Sutton,
required the prosecuting attorney to sue
officer who failed to pay over money at the
proper time, in order to recover from him
the fees charged by the Attorney
for collecting the money. The object of the
law was to prevent collision between coun~
ty officers and Attorney-gener erals in holding
back funds in order that the State officer
might get his percentage by collecting
them The contention of the defense was
that this law had been repealed by impllca-
lion in the passage of another law. In his
opinion. Judge Rheinhardt holds that the
Sutton law of 1888 is still in force and that
those county officers who suffer funds to
be collected from them by the Attorney
general must pay that officers fees from
their own pockets.

Greeley. Butler and Bryan.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
see that Billy Bryan is going TO enter
Indiana on his raid via Jeffersonvile That
is the route that Greeley took just twenty
four years ago. Crowds greeted Greeley;
So they will Bryan. At Louisville Greeley
was introduced to the multitude by the
gifted Watterson. At Jeffersonville an
enormous crowd gathered to see and hear
him, and so on up to Indianapolis the same
scenes were enacted at all the stops. At
Franklin, in Johnson county, the college
students treated him somewhat as the Yale
boys did Bryan. At Indianapolis an i'm
mense throng was out to see him and he
was introduced by Voorhees,. Mr.. Greeley
n his speech at Hamilton. O.. estimated
the Indianapolis gathering at oO.Ot0 people.
and he said to the ~@on of OHIO that he had
ooked into the faces of the men of Indiana
and that Indiana was safe for the Demo-
cratic ticket But Grant carried it by %
o00 majority. At Cincinnati 1t was esti-
mated By the Commercial that 100000 peo-
pie were out to see him. One Indiana corre-
Spondent of the Enquirer claimed that
Greeley would certainly carry Pennsyva-
MIA, New York, Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota. How like the Bryan claims of
to-day, and the result viii be the same.
Greeley carried just three States. The old
er readers of the Journal remember those
things, but ] want the younger ones who
do not remember the greeley campaign TO
know that froth and foam do not win cleo
tons. How was it with Butler when he
was in this city in 1851? Never did a larger
Or more enthusiastic crowd gather TO hear
any one. 1t was estimated at from 30. GOO
50 500Q0 people. and the Greenhackers
claimed the fight was between Butler and
the Republicans-that the Democrats were
not in it, yet ii is doubtful if Butler got
one hundred votes in Marion county. Billy
Bryan's tour will turn out just as Greeleys

Turns on the Money Lender.

Charles Roesner yesterday filed suit
against Lewis Baum for $1,000 damages for
false arrest. The complaint charges that
on July %, 1896. Roesner was arrested on
the affidavit of Baum charging him with
perjury Roesner was taken before Justice
H bich and then, on the petition of Baum.
the case was continued several times, and
finally Roesner was bound over to the
grand Jury, which, at its next term, dis
charged him, having found no evidence to
indict.
This suit grows out of a suit by Baum TO
recover money loaned on d chattel mort
gage. Baum lends money on chattel-mort-
gage security, and. in Il suit to recover on
q loan, Roesner, who Is a farmer. was the
principal witness for the defense, and it
was mainly on his testimony that Baum
lost his case. He then had Roesner ar
rested for perjury.

Mexico to Have a New Road.

Frederick Bartlett of Chicago. has Sc
cured a most important railway concession
from the Mexican government in fact the
largest since that of the Mexican Central.
The charter covers two thousand kilo-
meters with main line and branches and
provides for a standard gauge road to run
from some point in the State of Chihuahua
on the Mexican Central railroad westward
to point on the Sonora road, with
branches running north into one of the
richest mineral regions on the globe and
southwark along the Pacific coast thus
insuring the development of the northwest
and west coasts of the republic. The line
Will traverse a fine timber country and
open up d very extensive mineral region
which is now of difficult access and
abounds in gold and silver properties. and
which recently favorably reported on
by an agent of the Rothschilds who ex-
plored the States Of Sonora and Durango.
The region is regarded as the treasure
house of Mexico and it is believed will add
a new gold producing district equaling the
most famous in the world, as individual
miners are now with the most primitive
apparatus, taking ont large quantities of
metal. The total extent of the road is
greater than the Mexican Central's main
line and is the only great road the govern
ment has been willing to give a charter TO
with subvention. which on the main line

strategical point of view and desirability
for opening up the northwestern poftlon or

system was readily discerned. Practical
railway men consider that the line has ex-
cellent prospects.

western Traffic Association.


There is no longer any doubt in railway
circles that the Western Traffic Associa-
ton has practically ceased to exist as an
important factor in the rate situation of
the twenty-one roads which were originally
in the organization. The withdrawal of
few important roads has destroyed it's vi
tally. Officers of some roads that pin their
faith to associations are anxious that
new association be formed on the plan of
the Joint Traffic Association. 1t is stated
that some of the Western officials hoped
that another association of some kind
would be organized; others were glad that
the association had breathed it's last and
few of the more radical were of opinion
that the railroads should be henceforth run
conServatively, independent of all pools as
sociationS, or agreements, save, possibly,
a skeleton agreement for the government
ter to be taken care of by the Interstate
Commission. There will be some difficulty
in getting a board of managers west OF
Chicago to act with the same harmony of
roads cover such widely different territory
and conditions of business are so different,
but more important is the fact that the
managers still lack that spirit of concila-
ton and concession so remarkable in the
trunk lines. The fact is that the trunk

Alleged Unfair Rates.

The Interstate-commerce Commission
yesterday continued its investigation at st.
Louis of alleged unfair discrepancies be-
tween carload and less than Scarload rates
On freight to Texas common points. c.
A Parker, traffic manager of the Missouri
Pacific and Iron Mouptain roads. was the
first witness He testified that the actual
effect of the existing difference in rates
was to stimulate carload shipments and to
discourage less than carload shipments. He
thought there was no specific purpose in
making less than carload rates as high as
they are at present. He thought the rates
were maintained because no pressure had
been brought to bear to have them reduced
1t was the aim of his road to lower less
than carload rates whenever the carload
rates were lowered. In response to ques-
tons Of Mr.. Waite of Spencer, Waite &
Bartlett, hardware dealers. of Chicago, and
j. +. Farley, manager of the Dallas Free
Bureau, Mr. Parker said he had believed
that with a lower less than carload rate
the Texas jobbers could still do business
wherever they do it at present
A. T. Drew, general freight agent of the
NJ, Is. 81 T., who testified Monday was
again put on the stand for cross-exa nina
ton. He explained the difference in the
methods of handling and unloading less
than carload lots and carload lots, his tes
tfmony showing that it was more expen-
sive for the railroad to handle less than
carload lots.
w. III. Masters, manager or the New Or
leans Freight Bureau, explained how the
competition of jobbers and pressure on the
railroads brought about the adoption of the
blanket system OF rates. The New Orleans
shippers. he said, wanted rates so adjusted
that the 1ess-than-oarload shippers could
compete with the carload shippers. The
effect of the present discrepancy has been
to force many jobbers to give up their
Texas trade. He said that in the past year,
or since the establishment of the present
differential shipments of rice and sugar
from New Orleans had fallen off IS per
cent. Here the complainant rested its
case
j. w. Vancleave, representing the st.
Louis Manufacturers Association, was the
first witness for the defense. He said that
to the local manufacturers the narrowing
of the rates would be detrimental to their
interests. reduction of less than carload
rates would increase the manufacturers
competition. 1t was safer and better bust
ness to dispose of manufactured goods to
jobbers than to retailers. He thought the
raising of carload rates would cause the
manufacturers to suffer seriously. The
same would apply to the reduction of the
-than-carload rate. The manufacturers
wanted the rates continued as at present.
