AS KANSAS BOARD VIEWS 1T.
Considers That Kansas City Is Not n
Natural Market for the
Kansas Grain.

Topeka, Kas Jan. 4.-(Special) The
complaints filed before the board of railway
commissioners last July by the city officials
of Kansas City, Kas., against the Rock
Island, Santa Fe and Missouri Pacific
roads. charging the existence of unjust
and discriminative rates on farm produce
fl ON Kansas points to Kansas City, Kas.,
was disposed of to-day by the commission
ers. who denied the position taken by the
city, and dismissed the petition after an
exhaustive opinion and review of the facts.
The commissioners heard the case and de-
cided IL in the absence of a representative
of the complainant city. On every point
Of contention decision was for the railways
the hoard deciding that Kansas City was
not a natural market for the Kansas grain;
that discrimination IN transportation must
exist that the interest Of the Kansas grain
producers was antagonistic TO the grain
market at Kansas City, and the producer
wanted his grain sent to tde-water with
out stop and charge for extra handling.
The opinion then exploits at length the
advantage the railroads have been
10 the state and says il would
be marked injustice 10 compel the
lines that do SO much for the state TO haul
the grain to Kansas City, and then COM
pete for II with lines in no way interested
or beneficial to the state. III these lines
want our trade" says the board, let them
come into the state" The board indorSed
the idea of abOlshing the plan of basing
beneficial to the people. In closing. the
board rebukes the action of the two Kan
sas Citys as intervening in its complaint
before the interstate commerce commission
last fall as a selfish action. and says: The
chief concern Is about rates on grain to
the people OF Kansas is not the subject OF
the proceedings.'

PACIFIC RAILROADS.
Probable n Committee Will BE Ap-
pointed to Make n Settlement
With the Ronds.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE course taken
by the house committee on Pacific roads
to-day makes it probable that the railroad
question will be brought before congress
again this session in the form of prop
osition to adopt the plan of Representa-
tive Harrison, of Alabama, for a govern
ment commission to make settlement
with the roads With but one dissenting
voice, the committee decided to empower
a Subcommittee to consider Mr.. Harri-
sons plan, which is embodied in a DILL
and ii is predicted by most of the commit
teomen that the bill will be reported to
the house. 1t was decided to give near
ing on the question next Wednesday
The members of the subcommittee are
Powers of Vermont; Hepburn, OF Iowa;
bama, and Hubbard, of Missouri. In It's
personnel every shade of opinion on the
railroad question is represented
The committee was impelled TO Its action
by the strong feeling entertained by most
| of its members against the foreclosure BY
| the government, with the probability OF
| bers consider nearly inevitable If the gov
| ernment forecloses. 1t was conceded that
| the funding plan in any form was dead.
Nothing was said in committee today
about the views of the railroad companies
| upon the commission plan, but 1t is as
suned that they VIII prefer an opportunity
to continue negotiations with the govern
ment to foreclosure.
| Senator Gear, chairman of the senate
committee on Pacific railroads wiz can q
| meeting of the senate committee tomorrow
| to consider the bill introduced by him yes
| terday for the appointment of commits
| debtedness of the bond-aided roads. When
| asked to-day what action he thought the
| serate would take in the new proposition
| Senator Gear said that he thought ii likely
| that it would be disposed to delay any ac'
ton until it should be known what the
house would do. but that he should not say
| until the committee shoulo meet Wha
course would be advised.

A DYNAMITE SHOP" BEATEN.
YESTERDAY AFTERNOONS PLAY
COST CLAY MALTBY $1,000.
The Players Found the Tapes Were
Made Up on Regular System
and They Bought and Sold
to Their Profit.

Tremendous excitement prevailed for
part of yesterday afternoon at the Derby
Turf and Stock exchange, located at Ninth
and Main streets, in the room formerly &C.
cupied by the Brunswick billiard hall. The
room is owned by Clay Maltby and man
aged by Tom Carey, and in conjunction
with bookmaking on the races a 'dyna-
mite stock exchange is run. 1t was in
the dynamite department that the eN-
citement of yesterday occurred.
The way in which dynamite is run is
to receive fictitious quotations on stocks
which have no existence, but which serve
the purpose of risking a mans dollars as
to whether the arbitrary quotations will
show the stock up or down. The quotations
are made from tapes which have been pre-
pared beforehand and vary TO suit the
pleasure of the person making them up it
being simply a guess with the speculator
as to whether the next tick of the tele-
graph instrument will announce the stock
UP or down.
1t is said that most of the tapes are pre-
pared by taking deck of playing cards
and cutting them, and the quotations on
the tape are point higher or a point low
er according to the card cut.
The Derby runs five sets of stock and
on two of these yesterday, called respec-
lively the Hill City" and the Sonora"
the tapes developed early in the afternoon
most peculiar streak. They got into a
on, up n point and down a point until
in a little while the regular players got
onto the fact that the tapes were running
in that regular manner and they were not
slow to take advantage of it. They would
sell at the high quotations and buy at the
low, switching every time the instrument
licked off another quotation on either of
the stocks named. The news of the good
thing quickly spread around and the
dynamite fiends from other housese were
attracted until the place was crowded and
men fairly fought for places at the buy
ing and selling windows.
Men who were playing the races stopped
that and went after some of the easy
| money, and finally the jam became so great
that rows We're numerous. and 1t looked at
one time as if there would be a free hight.
| The managers of the house knew some
| thing was wrong. but it took them some
! time to get on to it, and when they did
| they suspended the dynamite" for the
| day, having lost about $1,000 on the two
stocks One man is said to have run 81 up
| to $3.50. and Louie Dearborn, the well
| known horseman, is credited with winning
| over s., 600 on less than $50. 1t was a great
| snap while 1t lasted, and the proprietors OF
| the Derby room will doubtless see that the
| tape is made somewhat differently in the
| future. This is about the only time on rec
ord where the public got the best of the
| dynamite" game.
