DISCRIMINATION
BY RAILROADS
Give Rebates to Secure
Protection.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-Evidence of rebates
granted by certain roads to favored par
ties was offered before the transportation
sub-commission of the United States In
dustrial Commission to-day. II. Z. Dous-
man. q retired member of the Board of
Trade. was the principal witness of the
morning.
Most of his testimony referred to the
discrimination of railroad and elevator
combinations against private individuals
who are trying TO carry on business, but
are deferred by the action of the concerns
from which they refuse TO accept rebates.
The witness also gave IL as his opinion
that the principal effect OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission has been TO put
valuable favors in the hands of fewer
persons than before its passage and he
explained this broad statement by saying
that the railroads now feel IL necessary
TO give rebates 10 persons to whom they
can look for protection.
A a. Kennard of the Butter and Egg
Board, who testified at the afternoon ses-
among commission men because of bur-
densome rates by telegraph and telephone
companies. lie said the general feeling
among commission merchants was in ia
Vor of Government control of the tele-
graph and telephone. Mr.. Kennard also
Cited instances of discrimination in the
distribution of cars for shipping fruits
from California TO Chicago. He claimed
small firms and private individuals had
frequently to pay heavy bonus TO secure
cars and said five firms in this city prac-
tically had control Of the refrigerator
cars.
S. H. Greedy OF the Chicago Board of
Trade testified during the afternoon. He
announced himself In favor of Govern
ment ownership OF railroads.

FRENCH PoLITENESS
That Could Not Be Ruffled Under
Irving Circumstances

The car was crowded with typical lot
OF II o'clock passengers. 1t was the one
had sandwiched in between his showers
and frosts. Ii was rather close inside
and the young man, who looked as
though ne might have been working
overtime checking stock at the SILK
counter, had yawned two or three times
and been promptly followed in kind by
all the passengers within sight OF him.
The Ventilators were open: so was the
rear door, through which the conductor
monotonously called the streets.
Congress-"
Amorg the seven people who climbed
aboard At tEis stop were two men with
been making adieus at a carriage door
as the car came up. They stepped inside
and half unconsciously obeyed the re-
quest 10 move up front, please" until
at. Harrison street they found them
selves just in front OF the stove.
One OF them appeared to be a visitor TO
the city. The younger man, who called
hiEsa ..iincle,@ was saying some very
initiated things about the performance
just witnessed 10 which the older man
responded with a decided Partisan ae-
cent. Before many minutes they had Sc
cured the attention OF almost the entire
car and were earnestly discussing the out
look for the coming opera season, COM
menting upon the Wagnerian virtues OF
the lamented klafsky, when sudden lurch
threw the older man violently forward
He pressed his equilibrium and his good
nature gracefully, and when the car
stopped at Michigan avenue and Twenty
second street a lady and gentleman
alighted from the rear platform. leaving
vacant seat. Observing this the young
man urged his companion to be seated.
Non, non; / am not weariee," and as
he cast quick glance around 10 see II
any ladies We're standing, he added with
an emphasis on some one" Let some
one occupy re place"
His manner and speech were so easy
and deferential that the eyes OF every
woman in the car were cast admiringly
upon him and the men regarded his vi
einity with something like curiosity in
their faces.
However the seat was destined TO be
occupied and by a parsonage upon whom
no one mad counted. A bulky colored
woman bearing a basket which smelled
from the front platform. where she had
evidently been standing at the time the
two fares got out at Michigan avenue
She wore immense soft soled felt shoes
and stepped in noiselessly just as the
young man asked the elder TO be seated
Although the latter had not seen her at
all the dame took his courteous remark
10 herself as she rolled into the seat and
calculated:
Lands sake. honey. but Use obleeged
10 yehl It's easy seein' you dohn't stick
no hogs nor weigh in at de stockya'ds."
AT sound OF the voice and feeling the
nudge the woman gave him. the gentle
man turned. taking in the situation at q
glance. Doffing his hat Very gravely, he
replied in most polite tone that was
evidently sincere:

Destructive to Young Lobsters.

That cod eat young Holsters is a fact
established to the satisfaction of a writer
in an exchange. He says: 1.-The goldfish
are feeding on the young Holsters TO such
an extent that IL will not take long to ex-
terminate them. Through the efforts OF
the United States Fish Commission cod
fish seem TO have increased greatly in
numbers. The fishermen around Block
Island and Watch Hill say that cod are
growing more plentiful every year, and
they say further that when dressing cod
fish they frequently find young Holsters
whole inside OF the larger fish, Evidently
young Holsters are becoming a delicate
morsel for some OF their companions of
the sea. There is a problem for the she'll
fish commissioners 10 solve in the artIfi-
cial propagation Of the lobster. Old fish
ermen about Watch Hill and vicinity tell
me that when they haul their lobster pots
now they get fifteen and twenty pounds
where they used TO get one hundred"
The fishermen have no one TO blame but
themselves When Holsters were plentiful
they would kill the egg-bearing Holsters
as nuisances and bait destroyers. II they
had thrown them overheard the result
might have been different-Fishing Ga
