RATE-CUT9ING STOPPED.
END OF A RAILROAD WAR IN
THE EAST.
The Threatened Dissolution of the
Joint Traffic Association
at an End.

NEW YORK, June 2.-The Joint
Traffic Association, through a commit
tee consisting of President Thompson
of the Pennsylvania and President De-
pew of the New York Central, has sue
ceeded in bringing sufficient pressure to
bear on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road to stop the cutting Of freight rates
and prevent the threatened dissolution
of the association. The committee
held conference with Receivers Oscar
c. Murray and ]. K. Cowen of the Bal
timore and Ohio Company at the offices
of the Joint Traffic Association in this
city last night.
They We're authorized to use any
power that was necessary in order to
adjust the situation. The Baltimore
and Ohio was the aggressor in cutting
rates, but as the receivers were not
party to the association it was difficult
to reach them both, because a company
in the hands of the court is not SUM-
posed to be party to a pooling ar
rangement, and because the Supreme
Court decision holding that all traffic
agreements similar to the TRANSMIT
souri, Association are illegal.
Ever since the receivership the Bal
timore and Ohio officials have been act
i've in securing as large a tonnage as
possible, regardless of the percentage
to which the company is entitled. nm
der the pooling arrangement. It's al
loted share OF westbound freight is IA
per cent. and the actual tonnage car
ried by it during the last three months
is said to have averaged nearly twice
that amount, the loss falling on the
Erie and Pennsylvania railroads. The
receivers made the excuse that they
were not members of the association
and they could not be held to the agree
ment that bound the former manage
ment of the company The other com
panies answered this claim by saving
that if it came to scramble for BUSH
ness the Baltimore and Ohio would be
compelled to carry traffic at a loss. and
the result would be disastrous to all
concerned. The discomfort among the
trunk lines became so great at the un-
fair advantage taken by the Balti-
more and Ohio, because of its being in
the hands of the court. that it resulted
finally in a demand being made by GER
tain of the other companies that there
be a readjustment of tonnage or rates
so that the companies falling behind
would have a chance to make I'D their
losses
Still others suggested a settlement in
money as the only way in which the
competitors of the Baltimore and Ohio
would ever be able to even up percen-
tages- But this, of course, the courts
would not sanction. and the suggestion
was dropped. What other influences
were brought to bear which caused the
receivers to agree to conform to the ex-
listing rates without being members of

Nothing But Heat;
Blue Flame Oil Stoves.

Ask any one who has a blue
flame Oil Stove how they like it,
and ten to one the answer will be a
most enthusiastic one. The Stoves
are universal favorites. They are
economical, odorless and have
great heating capacity. We have
sold them to a number of people
who bought them simply for occa-
sional use, but who are now doing
all their cooking upon them.

A Good
Advertisement.
From interview in Printers Ink"

From interview in Printers Ink"
81 think the agitation is a
good advertisement for the
department stores, as show
ing that they sell goods more
cheaply than others can. The
very people who inveigh
against them take advantage
OF every opportunity to buy
from them, which Of course
is a clear demonstration that
these stores sell more cheaply,
otherwise they would not get
this custom. And one tact
will always prevail while
human nature remains TN
changed--p e ople will buy
where they can buy to advan-
tage.
Furthermore, the depart
ment store is simply the de-
ve1opment of the country
store, which, as you know,
carries--and always did--a
stock almost as various as the
department store.

the association have not become known.
The result was a surprise to everybody.
Several other companies charged with
cutting rates had stated at a recent
meeting that if the Baltimore and Ohio
would restore rates they would do the
same. The decentralization will, there
fore, end at once. The tonnage remains
to be adjusted, according TO the amount
formerly allotted under the pool. The
Baltimore and Ohio claims that 1t has
shown it's ability to resume its business
when its equipment is in proper condi-
ton, and the receivers have made bid
for larger share. This, however, the
committee appointed to deal with the
receivers had no power to grant. The
matter will probably go before the ar

with sling shot had his throat cut.
The bank was then robbed of all the
cash that the robbers could lay hands
upon. The first intimation of the trouble
was at half past two when the body of
the cashier was found lying upon the
floor. There was no mark or clue about
the entrance of the bank, nor could any
be found on the street To indicate who the
robbers were or how they could be traced
Mr.. Stickney was about 90 years Of age
and had been with the bank for about
thirty years. A while ago an attempt was
made to rob the bank on which OCCASION
the same man, Joseph Stickney, was
found, bound and gagged, lying upon the
floor. This attempt however, proved
unsuccessful and no clue was ever found
10 the perpetrators.
There was great excitement about the
bank when the news of the tragedy was
made known. Ii was reported that about
noon two suspicious looking men were
seen In the vicinity of the place and

Mowry under the influence of ether
shortly after III O'Clock and removed the
bullet without any difficulty Deputy
Warden Wall who has seen considerable
of that kind OF surgery said that he never
saw man take ether easier or behave
better under its effect Mowry came out
of the influence as calmly as he went in
and showed no trace of excitement. The
surgeon asked him few questions and
he answered nationally. He said that he
felt all right and his ear did not trouble
him. Doctor Keene stated that Mowry
would probably not experience any
trouble from the wound. The bullet was
easily removed. Deputy Warden Wall
questioned the prisoner closely, but he
did not vary from his original story. 1t
is believed at the prison that the prisoner
Is not insane. He watches for questions
and answers with deliberation. This was
so directly after he regained his faculties
after the ether effects had been removed.
IL had been expected that he would trip
himself under these conditions but the
cunning of the man never seems to relax.
