INDUSTRIAL INVESTIGATION.
HEARINGS AT CHICAGO AND
WASHINGTON.
Evidence Of Rebates Granted by
fered at the Former City.

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-Evidence of re-
bates granted by certain roads to IA
vored parties was offered before the
transportation sub commission of the
United States Industrial Commission
to-day.
H. E. Dousman, a 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 try
ing to carry on business, but are deter
red by the action of the concerns from
which they refuse to accept rebates.
The witness also gave it as his opin-
ion that the principal effect of the In
terstate 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 it necessary to give rebates to
persons to whom they can look for pro-
lection.
A. A. Kennard of the Butter and Egg
Board, who testified at the afternoon
session, said there was much complaint
among commission men because OF
burdensome rates by telegraph and tel
ephone companies. He said the general
feeling among commission merchants
was in favor of Government control
of the telegraph 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 a heavy bonus to secure cars, and
said five firms in this city practically
had control of the refrigerator cars.
S. H. Greeley of the Chicago Board
of Trade testified during the afternoon.
He announced himself in favor of Gov
eminent ownership of railroads.
Mr.. Greeley declared that the alleged
existing railroad combination which
the commission is Investigating is the
work of P. D. Armour Of Chicago, who
is such a heavy handler of freight that
it places him in a position to dictate.
In discussing the private car problem,
Mr.. Greeley said: THE Armours own
between $1,000 and 10000 cars. If any
man owns cars and receives a minimum
of five-eighths of a cent from the rail-
roads for each mile each car travels, he
can lose money in the grain business
and still make fortunes out of his pri-
vate car system
TIN PLATE INDUSTRY.
WASHINGTON, Nov 16.-William H.
Griffith, who is establishing a tin plate
mandatory at Washington, Ind, was
before the Industrial Commission to-
day. He said that the American Tin
Plate Company not only practically
controls the tin plate product, but also
the product of tin plate machinery,
there being only one independent ma
chinery plant left He also said that
jobbers were not allowed to have spe-
cial brands of plate except on condition
that they assign the brands to the
trust.
Mr.. Griffith said that of the 27O mills
controlled by the trust eighty had been
shut down.

account of the fact that the Democratic
officers of the precincts, as well as DEM
ocratic voters, had been intimidated by
soldiers.
When the vote of the Twentieth pre-
cinct of the Ninth Ward was reached
by the Commissioners to-day it was
found that there was no complete reg
ord of the vote. Judge Hargis, Demo-
cratic counsel, said he would produce
affidavits to prove that the Democratic
officers in this precinct We're fright
ened from the voting places by the re-
port that Governor Bradley's soldiers
were coming. On this account they
turns.
said that he would produce evidence to
show that the soldiers We're never with
in a mile of the precinct, and that the
Democrats had other reasons for not
signing the returns.
The board voted to pass the precinct
until later.
STATE RETURNS.
FRANKFORT (Ky), Nov. 16.-Sec-
rotary of State Finley has received
official returns from fifty counties, and
is tabulating them for the State Elec-
tion Board. Candidates for minor
State offices on both tickets fear that
the returns may show the head of one
ticket elected, with candidates on the
other ticket faring likewise. While Goe-
bel carries Campbell County, Burke
(R), for Superintendent of Public In
StructiOn, carries the same by over
1000. Goebel managers assert that
the whole Goebel ticket will win. The
report to-day that Chairman Pryor OF
the State Election Commission would
resign because of dissatisfaction over
the Goebel County Commissioners is
denied by Pryor.
TAYLOR'S FRIENDS SOUNDING
LEGISLATORS.
FRANKFORT (Ky.), Nov. 16.-Tay-
lor's friends have begun a quiet can
vass of the members of the Legislature.
sounding them as to how they would
vote on a contest if the State Election
Board should throw out Knox, john
son or Pulaski Counties, and also /, 100
votes cast in Nelson for w. P, instead
of w. S. Taylor. 1t is said four DEM
ocratic members of the House and at
least six Democratic members of the
Senate have been found SO far who
will not vote to seat Goebel. This
movement on Taylor's side is construed
to indicate the opinion that Goebel will
be given a certificate of election from

one was too small. This body should
not have been called an advisory coun-
ell, but an Executive Committee. All
subcommittee should be selected from
the General Executive Committee OF
Seventy. He advocated the abolition
Of the Committee of Seven and the re-
consideration of the whole question,
and moved that there be an adjourn
ment until 2 o'clock, when a commit
tee of five, chosen by the Chairman,
should report as to the best method to

sented their report.

Maxwell of Sonoma said that the COM
mittee had agreed to enlarge the Exec
utive Committee to twenty-nine, to con-
sist of twenty-six members besides the
President, Secretary and Treasurer.
This was DONE he said, with the distinct
understanding that the advisory council
was not to be understood as being re-
lieved from any of the work, that it
should still be an active working force.
Mr.. Maxwell then read the names of
the organizations and interests which,
in the opinion of the committee, should
be represented and made the following
recommendations for the personnel Of

CHAPTER V.

That hospitable southern home Of
General Arthur Eldridge, G. s. A., had
its physician, who, SO far as the ordi-
! nary ailments of the human flesh are
concerned, could have given lessons to
the majority Of the profession who hold
the duly certified diplomas of the most
famous medical schools Of the land.
Aunt Marcie, wife of old Pete, the
coachman, and mother of Rastus, had
nourished Adele when child through
a seemingly mortal illness after the reg
ular physician said all hope was vanish
ed, and she had sat by the bedside of
her beloved mistress as the weeping
husband uttered what he believed was
his last farewell and administered her
simple remedies, which pulled the
mother back from the edge of the dark
river General Eldridge himself had re-
ceived the benefit of that wonderful
skill which nature sometimes bestows
upon those that are the least gifted
mentally, while in the old days, when
the threescore slaves sang and worked
on the plantation, there was none who
willingly received the care of any doctor
in preference to Aunt Marcie.
Of all this Lieutenant Oakman knew
nothing, but when the old colored wo-
man, with her Mead swathed in gor-
geous bandanna handkerchief, promptly
and deftly removed the bandage from
the wounded arm with a sniff of con-
tempt he felt somehow or other that it
was useless to send for the best surgeon
in the Union army, even if the oppor-
tunity were presented.
While Mrs. Eldridge and her daugh-
ter looked alphabetically on, with an
occasional word of pity, Aunt Marcie
to business.
"Might've knowed dat was done by
some fool of white man like Jim Ack-
ers," she remarked as she laid the
stained and caked cloth aside. "It am
