To the Editor of The Indianapolis Journal:
A ticket broker in a late issue of the
Journal says the nonassociation brokers
are the cause of the mileage troubles. L
think it is the reverse. 1t is generally con-
ceded that association brokers can buy
some Interchangeable books for $3.50 to
$40. A nonassociation broker cannot do this.
This is the cause of the trouble. If two
or three roads sell books at the above prices
the roads that live up 10 their agreements
do not stand any show of selling at $40
| do business in small way by buying up
books at $40 which gives me good margin
of profit and handle but very few tickets,
do not handle passes, and contne myself
mostly to commercial travellers who, think
are more entitled TO a cut rate than any
other class of people. Had the brokers paid
regular prices. for books been satisfied
with moderate profit and not tried 20 get
rich so fast. the restrictions would never
have been as great as they Will be on the
new books to be issued July /.

Only Asked to Maintain Rates.


Much has been said by the press of late
concerning the demands of the Baltimore &
Ohio for a larger allotment in it's percent
age on west-bound tonnage and to the
effect that such a proposition was being
fought by the competitors they not favor
ing any increase. "All this talk said a
railway official, lis folly. Not of the
trunk lines objects to the Baltimore & Ohio
doing a good business, and carrying a
larger per cent. than ever before if the road
will only maintain rates The agreement
of the trunk lines for the restoration of
rates on west-bound business indirected set
ties the question of allowing the Baltimore
& Ohio it's application for increased ton
mage. AS that company, through its freight
traffic manager, agreed to restore rates
any of the lines if the Baltimore & Ohio
can increase it's business by maintaining
rates And there is no reason to doubt
that it can increase its business in view of
the large sum of money that has been ex-
pended in improvements.
Another official, in speaking OF the mat
ter said: THE compromise proposition of
the Baltimore & Ohio for an increased per-
centage is virtually allowed by it's col
leagues on the agreement of the latter that
it will maintain rates. Nobody can object
a rate maintaining basis. This it has agreed
to do. 1t is quite reasonable to suppose
that the Baltimore & Ohio, after spending
S15 coo 900 or 500, 900 900 in improvements, can
increase its business, and so long as 1t
keeps up rates nobody can complain.

So the cab question in New York would
soon be settled.
To settle the question so that the cabs
would be busy all the time would really
be good thing for cab owners as well as
for the people. In London and Paris one
takes cab as a matter of course and
without counting the cost. But in the end
one spends much more in cabs in either of
those capitals than in New York If the
cab owners in New York would realize
what enterprising business men all the
world over long ago learned, that large
sales and small profits lead to the quickest
wealth, they would respond wisely and so
make it unnecessary for the railway COM
panies to continue in the cab business.

Indianapolis has often brought out inven-
tons which have given its mechanics and
machinists much prominence, and the rail-
way asphalt plant the invention of Fred

are built by Hetherington 81 Berner, who
look for large business from the con-
struction of these plants. One of them a

Chenn Cabs in New york.
Leslie's Weekly.


Cab riding in New York has always been
so expensive that none save the rich and
the improvident could afford it. An ordi-
narily Wel-to-do man with a thrifty habit
never thinks of taking cab. For him the
street cars always suffice. except for
never been any good reason for this, even
though New York Is long and narrow and
must be a better business to carry many
passengers at reasonable fares than very
few at exorbtant rates. AS things now are,
the cabs are on their stands the greater
part OF the time-the horses idle, the drivers
loafng.
But there is likely to be a change very
soon. The Pennsylvania Railroad has in
troduced cheap-cab service from It's fer

Americans we Are Interested In.

Harpers Weekly.
Mr. James Gordon Bennett has been to
New York. has viewed the city, and es-
pecially the new home of his newspaper
in it. and has gone away again, What he
thought about 1t he seems not to have di-
Vulged at least no newspaper has printed
any authoritative expression of his senti-
ments. Mr.. Bennett is one of two American
citizens whose preference for living abroad
excites good deal OF interest
in the minds of their country
men. The other one is Mr. VIII
liam Waldorf Astor. There are thousands
of Americans who live abroad without the
least disturbance of the equanimity of their
fellow-eitizens at home, but with Mr.. Ben
nett and Mr.. Aston IL is different. There
seems to be so much to interest and re-
tain them in this country that the average
American is surprised at the continuousness
OF their preference to live elsewhere. No
doubt the whole secret of 1t is that they like
20 live where they can have the most fun,
buS one may conjecture that blended with
that comprehensive sentiment there may
be conviction that since the loOker-on sees
most of the game, there are certain adj
vantages in keeping at such a distance
from the work which one directs as TO be
free from overdistraction by details, and
able TO concentrate attention on vital con-
Germs. To all appearances Mr.. Benefits
newspaper aud Mr.. Astor's real-estate bus
mess prosper in their absence, yet each
of these nonresident proprietors is cred
ited with activity and shrewdness in the
management of his property, and with care
full supervision of all that his agents do.
Mr. Aston is as much credited with build
ing the Waldorf Hotel as though he had
personally stood over its construction and
Mr.. Bennett is as much credited with build
ing the new Herald building and moving
his newspapers up town, and with all the
recent innovations in the management of
his properties, including the owls that wink
and the bronze autOmatons that strike the
hour, as If he never had been farther from
New York than Newport. No doubt there
are Americans who conduct themselves
quite as much like persons in the Arabian
Nights or Monte Cristo as MIR. Bennett and
Mr.. Aston but they are not so inseparably
connected with large quasi-public interests
as those gentlemen and therefore are not
so constantly present in the public mind.
MIR. Bennett and Mr.. Aston are interest
ing men. and no wonder. The man who
does just as he darn pleases, and has
abundant means TO do IL with ought 10

DIR. winn Killed by spaniards.

HAVANA, via Key West June 12.--Cap-
tain Foster r. VIM, M D., of St. LOUIS,
a volunteer surgeon with the Cuban in
Surgent hospital corps in the field, is re-
ported to have been killed in an attack by
government troops upon an insurgent hos
pital near Quivican, province of Havana.
Upon his body were found among other
papers of Importance letters from Colonel
Delgado, Brigadier General Castillo and
General Alexander Rodriguez, authorizing
him to proceed to the United States as
special delegate of the Cuban army hos
pital corps with a view of interesting the
American Red Cross Society in the suffer
ings of the Cuban insurgents. DIR. Winn
has been for months with the insurgent
forces, acting as chief inspector of
hospitals for the Havana division.
When attacked, although taken by surprise
and having only handful of poorly armed
men at his command, DR.. Wtnn is reported
to have made most resolute defense OF
the hospital. His resistance was not en-
tirely inefrectual, for he held the Spanish
troops at bay until a majority OF the SICK
and wounded inmates had been borne away
in hammocks to places of safety. Then ne
fell. His coat and shoes were stripped on
by the Spanish guerrillas, whose command.
er brought them to Havana as trophies or
the raid and placed them upon exhibition
at the palace headquarters OF Captain Cen
eral Weylers general staff.
