Split I'm Hill Family.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
If a report in circulation is true there
has been a serious rupture in the family
of President Hill. of the Great Northern.
arr lis efforts TO train up his two sons as
first-class railroad men who will some day
be qualified to succeed their father have
had a most unpleasant elimination. As
the story goes, when j. N. Hill was made
third vice president and general manager
of the Great Northern his brother Louis
took exception to it and exhibited a state
OF mind that resulted In an open quarrel,
whereupon his father gave him the al
tentative of becoming vice president of the
Eastern of Minnesota or leaving railroad
life. which meant that al acceptance of
the latter proposition ended his prospects
in life. He went to the Eastern as the
successor of j. N. Hill. but at once gave
further evidence of his feeling of resent
ment toward his brother by requesting the
resignation Of one of the latter's APP
pointees. Superintendent G.. I. Slade, TO
take effect Dec. 1. Mr.. Slade forthwith APP
pealed to j. N. Hill, who sought his rein
statement without success. Instead Louis
Hill summarily removed Mr.. Slade.

MEETING WITH PROTEST
SHIPPERS NOT PLEASED WITH THE
ADVANCE IN FREIGHT RATES.
Rates to be Quoted from Western
Points Direct to the
Genera and Personal Notes.

There Is much interest in the interstate
hearing to be held Dec. q, when the
freight traffic officials of the New York
and Chicago lines will be asked to show
cause for advancing rates. and protesting
shippers will be afforded opportunity to
make known their objections. 1t is prob
able the Interstate Commission will not
make any objections to the general in
crease in freight rates on Jan. l, but will
promise to rectify any errors which the
future may make apparent. Large ship
pers are making vigorous protests against
the advance in freight rates, and 1t is pre-
sumed that after the new tariff goes into
effect the railways will discover some
points where injustice is done to their GUS
toners.

AN ANSWER IS FILED
By City Clerk Geckler I'm the Election
Scandal Case.

In the Circuit Court yesterday an answer
was filed by the defendant in the suit of
Charles N. Elliott to contest the vote by
which John F. Geckler was elected city
clerk. The answer Is in two paragraphs.
the first denying all the allegations of the
complaint. The defendant in the second
paragraph AYERS that he received a plu-
rality of the votes cast for city clerk. and
that he was duly elected. He AYERS that in
each ward many votes were cast for him
that were not counted to his credit, and he
insists that there were votes in each pre-
cinct that were wrongfully counted for FL
lott. He AYERS hat the ballots which Ell
lott claims should have been counted for
him were not credited to Elliott because
they were not properly marked. The at
torneys for the plaintiff. it is expected, will
to-day file a denial to the assertions made
in the answer.
Judge Allen said yesterday that he saw
no reason why the case would not go to
trial Monday. Nothing will probably be
done In the suit of John M. Wall against
William c. DAILY until the Elliott-Geckler
suit is tried.

One of the most important moves made
by the trunk lines in their effort to in
sure stability of rates Is their concurrence
in the proposition of st. Louis, Peoria and
Chicago east-bound lines to abolish
through billing and dividing rates pro rata,
as at present, with Western Dads. Rates
will be quoted direct to the seaboard. 1t
is not known just how the new scheme will
work. To such an extent have the through
rates been abused. especially In the case
of east-bound traffic. that of late very
little business In Chicago from Missouri
river points has been billed through legiti-
mately. The trick has been to send a ship
men to Chicago locally and reship II at
convenience as a through shipment. Local
business got the benefit of through rates.
This created endless confusion and dis
satisfaction among shippers as we'll as
railroads., and finally the initial e~ast-bound
lines decided to stop 1t. Having the CO.
operation of the trunk lines, there is no
doubt their effort will be successful. After
the 1st of the year through rates will be
made UP of locals.

HIS MARRIAGE A FAILURE.


The damage suit Of Warren Fatout
against Sarah E. Hauser has been dis
missed. The suit was a very sensational
one. Fatout, who Is a contracting carpen-
ter of the city. married the daughter of
Mrs. Hauser. He sued his mother-in-law
for damages, claiming she had alienated
the affections of his wife. In his COM
plant he charged that Mrs. Hauser formed
a conspiracy against him to get him to
marry her daughter in order that they
might get his property. he fell into the
trap, he said, and the wedding took place.
He also conveyed his property to his wife.
and charged that after this was done the
mother-in-law succeeded in separating him
from his wife and then ran him away from
home.
Some time ago Mrs. Fatout procured a d.
vorce from her husband. He brought suit
against her to recover the property he con-
veyed TO her, but his case failed. 1t is un-
derstood that the dismissal Of the suit
against Mrs. Hauser is the result of a set
Element reached by the interested parties.
