FIGHTING A 2-CENT BILL
VIGOROUS OPPOSITION TO THE
MEASURE PENDING IN OHIO.
Railway photographers to Organize a
New AssOciatiOn-Big Four to
Improve Cleveland Service.

Officials of Ohio roads are making Wig
orous fight against bill making cents
a mile the rate on all Ohio roads. S. r. CAL
oway. president of the Lake Shore and
the Nickel-plate, who is one Of the best
informed railroad officials in the country,
is quoted as saying: Our railroad systems
have never before given the people as good
service as now; it is costing the roads more
than ever. and the people less than ever
before. The annual statement of the Lake
Shore last year shows that the cost of
running their passenger trains averaged
little over 90 cents mile, and that the
earnings on the passenger business aver
aged a little over cents per passenger
per mile on that road and but 176 cents
on the Nickel-plate. The daily train earn
ngs sheets of the Lake Shore show that
there are only ten or twelve of the trains
on the system that are earning over 81 a
mile, and the great bulk of them earn less
than so cents mile-in fact, a great many
local trains do not anything like meet their
expenses. If the 2-cent-fare act at Columbus
is passed it will simply result in the Lake
Shore Companys being obliged to abandon
a large proportion of its local passenger
trains. They do not pay now, and with the
revenue cut down one-third the company
certainly could not afford to continue them.
The reduction would also compel the dis
continuing of the use of special, excursion
and round-trip tickets"

THE KID" GETS A FIGHT
MONEY UP FOR co BETWEEN MCCOY
AND RUHLIN, HEAVY WEIGHT.
Terms TO he Agreed on After March
Slight with Burnley at
Hot Springs.

Manager Selby, representing his brother,
kid Mccoy, will remain in this city until
March Z, which marks the appearance of
kid" Mccoy and a number of other pro-
fessonal boxers in friendly set-to at Tom
linson Hall. Manager Selby confirms the re-
port that money posted at Dayton, o.,
yesterday by himself and Manager Madden
to bring about match between Mccoy and
Ruhlin who has been claiming the heavy
weight championship, the terms of which
will be agreed upon after March 8, to which
time Mccoy is bound to wait because of his
promise in issuance of challenge to both
Corbett and Fitzsimmons.
Manager Selby reports that this match
with Rubin will be one of the most impor-
tant of the year, and it will demonstrate
without doubt the question whether
science is superior to brute force, as Ruiz
lin is forty pounds to the good a giant in
build and of wonderful strength, while Nc
Coy can yet easily do the mddle-weight
limit. Mccoy is matched to meet Nick Bur-
ley at Hot Springs Ark. March 3 and
there is a possibility of meeting between
him and Jack Bonner at New Orleans on
the 23d of March.
The SeIby brothers evidently do not be-
lieve in wasting any time, as the Kid is
being booked for almost every night be-
tween the fights with Bonner and Burley.
Manager Selby is expecting some good Of
fers from San Francisco for the fight with
Rubin, and If satisfactory terms are Of
fered the Mccoy combination will leave for
the coast about April l.

The heirs of the late William Sloan, who
was a prominent farmer of Marion county,
are trying to settle dispute over the pos
session of some OF his personal effects in
Room 3. Superior Court. Mr.. Sloan died in
1895. The litigation is between the children
of his first wife and Mrs. Nettie Lowder
the daughter of his second wife, The prop
erty in dispute is a gold watch and phae-
ton. The vehicle was purchased by Mr..
Sloan's first wife, who died several years
ago. The second wife Is also dead The
watch was presented by her to her hus-
band on his eighty-second birthday. Mr..
Sloan left will which was contested on the
ground that he was of unsound mind when
the document was executed. This litigation,
however, was compromised, and one of the
provisions of the compromise was that Mrs.
Lawder was to have the household effects
left by her mother and stepfather. She
thus came into possession of the phaeton
and watch, which the children of the first
wife are trying to recover. They aver that
this property rightfully- belongs to them,
and cannot be properly included among the
household effects.

Urged to shut out Canadian Pacific.

The Portland (Ore) Chamber of Com
merce has passed series of resolutions
urging Congress to Withdraw the bonding
privilege from the Canadian Pacific Rail-
road. The resolutions state that by reason
of it's freedom from the restraints of the
interstate-commerce law Of the United
States the Canadian Pacific has an advan-
tage over the American roads which ena-
hles ii to deprive them of a large part of the
carrying trade of this country. The resolu-
tions further declare that the Canadian Pa
cific Is making use of advantages enjoyed
by II to aid Canada as against the United
States. and that great damage is now being
done to the commercial interests of the
country, especially to those of the Pacific
coast States. The resolutions conclude as
follows: We ask you, without delay, to
pass law which shall take away and de-
prive the Canadian Pacific Railroad and all
other foreign railways and TRANSPORTATION
lines of all rights to transport goods or pas
sengers from any one part of the United
States to any other. or any other or further
terms of re-entry into the United States
than those which exist and are applicable
to passengers and goods coming into the
United States from foreign country A
copy of the resolutions was sent to the
Chambers of Commerce of San Francisco
Los Angeles. Seattle Tacoma Spokane

quest that they take similar action.

Judge John A. Williams. in the United
States Circuit Court, at Topeka, Kan, yes
terday refused to grant a temporary in
junction against the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe Railway, as a member OF the
Southwestern Traffic Bureau, to prevent it
from boycottir:g the Kansas City, Pittsburg
& Gulf Railway. He said no harm had
been done and no federal law violated, and
declared that the state law had nothing
to do with the matter. The Pittsburg &
Gulf attorneys gave notice of appeal to the
United States Court ofAppeals. The Santa
Fe Railway and other members of the
Southwestern Traffic Bureau had served
notice upon the Pittsburg & Gulf road that
1t would after certain date refuse to ex-
change freight with the road at certain
POINTS. The Santa Fe's boycott was the
first to become effective and the Rittsburg
& Gulf filed application for an order pre-
venting such action, at the same time CIV
ing notice that it would proceed against
the other roads in like manner. The open
ing contest to-day, therefore, was watched
with considerable interest by the other
Southwestern roads, and strong array of
railroad attorneys were present. Attorney
Trimble. for the complainant, in pleading
his roads case, said the members of the
Southwestern Bureau had sought to force
the Pittsburg 4 Gulf road into joining it,
an Illegal pool existing contrary to the in
terstate-commerce act and the laws of the
State of Kansas.
Judge Williams asked: But where do the
statutes of Kansas catch on? What have
you got to do with 1t? Don't you make
your transfers in Missouri
I'VE make transfers in Missouri and
have connections at Argentine, in Kansas"
Attorney Trimble replied
Mr.. Trimble said a shipment from Beau
mont. Tex, to Topeka, Kan, is not local
business. He cited decisions that to call
through business local and charge local
rates for part of the haul, when done to
Cypress a rival railroad, is unlawful. When
Mr.. Trimble finished, Judge Williams said:
You are trying to do two things. You in
yoke the Kansas laws and the Interstate
commerce law. How can you do that? 1t
chem mixed" The injunction was refused.

Notice was served by the Southern Pacific
road yesterday on all its connections that it
will not participate in the passenger rate
var inaugurated by the Canadian Pacific
Railroad in transcontinental business, but
will insist on full proportions of all business
ticketed over it's lines. The Southern Pa
cific has as much Klondike business orig
mating in California as it can very well
handle over it's Shasta route. On this it is
receiving full local fares, and it thinks it
would be very foolish to place them in
Jeopardy by taking part in a fight in which
II is very remotely interested. The effect
Of it's decision will be to bar still further
the Missouri river gateways against the
cut rates. Roads using those gateways
have beer exceedingly anxious from the
outset of the fight to protect these gate
ways, and 1t now appears they would not
be able to use them in connection with the
cut rates, even if they would.
General passenger agents of the Western
roads had a meeting in Chicago yesterday
to consider action to be taken on the con-
duct OF the transcontinental rate war. 1t
was decided that for the present, at least,
the cut rates should be strictly confined to
the st. Paul gateway. A committee of
seven was appointed TO prepare plan for
general netting to be held tomorrow
Reports are in circulation that the Cana
dian Pacific road is buying up stock of the
Minneapolis a. ST. Louis. with the view of
securing controlling interest, The ac-
duisition would give the Canadian Pacific a
route to the Missouri river by which it
would constantly hold club over the Chi
cago and Missouri river roads. Had it the
road now the Canadian Pacific could carry
the rate war into the heart of the enemy's
country.
The Grand Trunk officials announce that
they have made an arrangement with the
Great Northern Railway, and will meet
whatever rates the Canadian Pacific have
made to the West without allowing for the
differentials. 1t is expected the Canadian
IL fpc IN fEa
West, and, if so, the Grand Trunk will meet
them.
