TRUNK LINE SITUATION
STRICT UNIFORMITY AND MATNTE-
NANCE OF RATES PROMISED.
Control of Inspection Bureau-The
Big Four Sending Thousands of
Coal Cars to the {. & o.

The situation with what are known as
the trunk lines between Chicago and the
seaboard presents a number of interesting
features which are being discussed in r-il-
road circles. a transportation man says:
Among the desirable things promised for
the near future are uniformity of rates,
as well as the maintenance Of them. This
is owing to the fact that steps, it is said,
are to be taken toward reaching an I'M
derstanding among the trunk lines as to
exactly what shall cons titute transporta-
ton business and also as to what charges
shall be asked separately for terminal ex-
penses. One of the plans contemplated is
to apply present rates to transportation
and ask shippers to make additional pay
ments for switching and other service, now
included under transportation charges. 1t
is known that there is a very large tom
mage ahead for trunk lines and the recent
advance in Canadian Pacific and New York
Central is taken by railroad men as in
dicatiVe of the views on the situation held
by the prominent interests identified with
these lines. That is to say higher rates
and profitable business appear inevitable
just now. The recent acquisition of the
control of the Lehigh Valley by j. Z. Nor
gan d Co. is admitted to have been prompt
ed by the desire to hasten the improve
ment in the general trunk line situa ton.
That fact probably caused the recent re-
ports that the New York Central contem-
plated securing control of the Lehigh VAL
ley, for it pointed out that Mr. Morgan does
not want the latter road for himself The
New York Central could utilize the Lehigh
Valley to perfect its system between Buff
falo and Chicago, and, in addition to hav-
and Buffalo, the Vanderbilt system would
get into Philadelphia as new outlet

No StOp-Overs Allowed.

The Utah-Colorado Zines are likely to have
considerable troubled with their stop-over
tickets from San Francisco. The Union Pa
cfic yesterday announced that it would not
honor any tickets carrying stop-overs east
of the line of the State of California. None
of the lines of the Western Passenger AS
ISOLATION will honor the tickets and the
Utah-Colorado lines are likely to find them
selves in a bad box before the matter is
settled. The Union Pacific has also issued
orders to its agents in San Francisco to
pay no commissions under any circum-
stances This action of the Union Pacific
has strengthened the hands of the associa-
ton roads very materially, and the Utah
Colorado lines are practically cut off from
any Eastern outlet for their stop-oVer bust
ness. The executive committee of the West
ern Passenger Association held a meeting
yesterday in Chicago for the purpose of
considering the situation and 1t was de-
termined that the agreement made by the
Western roads with the northern transcon-
tinental roads shall be carried out at any
cost 1t was again decided that rates viii
be openly reduced if Chairman Caldwin
finds such a step necessary after he has ar
rived at San Francisco.

baltimore Wins.

The commercial bodies of Baltimore are
much elated that Baltimore's fight for
recognition of stop-over privileges before
the Joint Traffic Association has been won
Secretary Forrest, of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association, Tuesday re-
ceived a letter from Commissioner Ban-
chard. of the Joint Traffic Association, stat
ing that it had been agreed to allow STOP
overs at Baltimore and Philadelphia on ali
tickets. This ruling covers the territory
reached by the lines forming the associa-
ton. including the routes from the West.
Details of the arrangement will be per-
fected at once and the announcement
spread broadcast to merchants of the West
that when they come East 70 buy their fail
stocks they can stop off in Baltimore on
all tickets TO New York without any extra
cost for railroad fare New York mer-
trade from the West and South, and part
OF the scheme was obtaining from the rail-
roads special rate of fare and a third for
the round trip to that city. Baltimore mer-
chants who have large interests in the
trade of these sections at once demanded
that that city be given equal facilities to
look after their trade. As a result the
Joint Traffic Association having authorized
this privilege, the railroads are now at
liberty to go ahead and advertise it
throughout the West Efforts have been
made for years to get such an official APP
prevail of this stop-over privilege, and the
action of the Joint Traffic Association will
be quickly followed by communications

GARBAGE AT SELLERS FARM.
Desiccating Plant People Explain
why 1t Is Not Destroyed.

The city officials yesterday had an ''un-
derstanding' with the indianapolis Desic-
eating Company. The mayor, with the
Board of Public Works and Board of Public
Health met f. NJ. Bachman and S. E.
Rauh, of the desiccating company, and ar
ranged to dispose of the accumulation of
garbage at the Sellers farm while the new
plant of the company is being built.
The proprietors Of the plant admitted
is being hauled to the farm. They say
much of it they are not bound to accept
but have been doing so rather than intl1ct
a hardship on the haulers. Mr.. Rauh said
the present plant had been put up on a
basis of two hundred thousand people, but
the board must remember that the present
garbage conditions are abnormal. He
promised that when the new plant is fin
ished the city will have no cause to COM
plain 1t was decided to allow the COM
pany to mix the night soil with mari and
bury it in trenches. When the new plant is
done the refuse will be burned: At the
office of the City Board of Health yester-
day it was said there were few complaints
of failure on the part OF the contractor to
collect garbage. The chief difficulty now
appears to be at the Sellers farm.

Early Reorganization of ID. & o.

1t is asserted at Baltimore that j. p
Morgan & Co. and Speyer & Co., of New
York, are negotiating with view of agree
ing on a plan looking to the early reorgan-
ization of the Baltimore & Ohio Railway
system. These great banking firms have
heretofore been understood to have been in
conflict in this matter, Speyer & Co. favor
ing the present policy of the receivers
while Morgan & Co. opposed it, The an
tagonism between these banking firms was
at the time looked upon the real cause
for the proposed action regarding a sepa-
rate receivership and the announcement
that they have reached an understanding
is hailed with satisfaction as indicating
not only that the system, as it now stands
will not be disturbed, but that the present
receivership will be permitted to carry out
its plans without further opposition, and
the reorganization brought about more ex-
pedtiouSly and with less cost to the stock
holders and bondholders than seemed likely
a week ago. 1t is also asserted that all
opposition to the issue of a new batch of
certificates to pay for rolling stock asked
for by the receivers on Saturday last will
now be withdrawn and that this, as well as
other issues of certificates, will be taken
up by funding the whole into bonds bearing
a low rate of interest when the reorganiza-

Reuben Hayden, for the recovery of Cen
trail property in the Fifth ward worth
10000. Hayden was suing A. 5. Hair

the property to his mother and her chill
dren. Mrs Underwood was formerly Mrs.
Lucinda Cone. When she married Under

BALIFFS GIVEN THE SLIP.
Julius Bone Escapes From "a jus.

Atlanta, Ca, March 16.-Jullus Bone.
one of the smooth gang of Bones arrest
ed a few days ago by the city detectives
on charges of burglary and highway rob
berry, made his escape from the bailiff of
Judge Foute's justice court this morning.
Young Bone had been bound over under
a heavy bond for highway robbery and
was about to be sent back to Jail when
ne walked quietly out of the court room
and to liberty The court room was full
of spectators and bailiffs at the time, but
Bone walked past all Of them and was
soon flying through the streets pursued
by bailiffs and city detectives, though he
made good his escape by dartng around
a corner and into an alley In the rear of
the Equitable building, where he was last
seen. After his trial had come to an end
young Bone picked up his hat and saun-
tered toward the corridor. At the door
when a bailiff grabbed him he remarked
coolly: well / came out all right" and
was allowed to pass on.
Bone is the ring leader of what the po-
lice claim is the worst gang of crooks that
has ever infested the town. He is a
Queen of the Hoboes,' who won that IT,
tie by her association with a gang OF
crooks that fiourished here several years
ago.
Bone was recaptured In Bellwood, a
