SUES THE SANTA FE.
Alleged Violation of the Interstate
Commerce Law and piscrimina-
ton by Paying Rebates

Wichita, April 15.-Suit has been
brought in the federal court here
against the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe Railroad company; the Gulf. Colo
RADIO & Santa Fe railroad and the Rich
ardson Grain and Elevator company,
of Chicago, for $4,000 for violation of
the interstate commerce law.
The petition is filed by CalliwellI &
Stevens. proprietors of the Wichita Mill
and Elevator company, as plaintiffs.
but it is understood that a number of
mercantile firms, grain and wholesale
men at Wichita and other Kansas and
Oklahoma towns, representing half
million dollars, are backing the case.
The petition alleges that the Santa Fe
and the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe,
acting under a joint tariff, Disseminated
by rebate against the Wichita Mill and
Elevator company and in favor of the
Richardson company. of Chicago, to the
extent of or 8 cents a buShel in rates
on 100000 bushels of grain handled by
plaintiffs for Chicago, Kansas City and
Galveston, from Wichita and intermed-
late points in Kansas and Oklahoma,
from which shipments were made in
$685. This, the plaintiffs allege, ena bled
the Richardson company to buy grain
at figure which drove the Wichita
concern out of the market. 1t is claim
ed that if both the Wichita and Chicago
companies had been charged published
tariff rate the plaintiff would have re-
allied a net profit of a cent a bushel
on grain handled. The Wichita COM
pany also claims demurrage on cars
ordered for shipping out export grain
last November because the roads stated
they were unable to furnish cars. and
at the same time sent hundreds of cars
to the Richardson company's office at
Winfield.

RAILROAD NEWS.
The Oldest Engineer In Active
Service In America,
Mr.. Barney Rand, Aged az, In
Topeka For a Day.
NOT A MAN INJURED
On a Train He Has Directed
For Forty three Years.
Pulled the Lincoln and Garfield
Funeral Trains.
NOT A MAN INJURED

The oldest railroad engineer in active
service in the United States was in To-
peka yesterday. He is Mr.. Barney
Rand of Liverpool. Ohio. and for the
past 43 years he has pulled a throttle
on the Cleveland & Pittsburg division
of the Pennsylvania system.
For 80 years of that time he has had
some of the best passenger runs on the
division. Not once during that length
of service has a passenger been injured
on any train of which he has been in
charge.
Engineer Rand Is now on his way to
his home after spending the past three
months in southern California. He is
~ years of age and some time ago the
strain of his continued service COM
menced to tell on his health. His physi-
clans ordered him to take a rest, and
he has been carrying out their orders
during his stay in California. He is now
returning fully recuperated and ready
to resume work on the road.
Engineer Rand pulled both the Lin
coin and Garfield funeral trains over his
division. During the civil war he guild
ed engines that pulled thousands of vol
unteerS to the Union army. He has
had as a passenger at one time or an
other probably every man of promi-
hence connected with the national gov
eminent since the time of Lincoln and
his cabinet.

TO RIVAL CALIFORNIA.
S. A. Brewster of the Santa Fe Praises
Arkansas Valley Fruit Prospects

According to Mr.. s. A. Brewster, gen
eral travelling agent of the Santa Fee
fruit and refrigerator line. the Arkan-
sas Valley country of Colorado will soon
rival Southern California a fruit
shipping territory. Mr. Brewster passed
through Topeka yesterday on his way
from Colorado to his home in Chicago.
In three more years" said he. the
orchards of the Arkansas Valley in
Colorado will commence to bear in
earnest. and then Southern California
must look to its laurels as far as the
shipment of fruit is concerned. There
is no more fertile country in the United
States, and apples, apricots. peaches,
pears, plums and other fruit will grow
there in abundance. Inside of five
years it will be one of the greatest fruit
shipping territories in the United States,
and because of the fact that it is much
nearer the eastern markets, the ship
mentS from there will materially injure
the fruit industry in California"
Mr.. Brewster recently succeeded Mr..
H. r. Brady, who because of failing
health was compelled to give up the
position. He has charge of fruit ship
ments over the Santa Fe from Chicago
to California.

Great difficulty has been experienced
in breaking the blockade both on ac-
count of the enormous snow banks,
which were in places twenty-five feet
high, and because for many miles the
rails were covered with ice which had
to be cut away by hand. No further
delays are anticipated.
