SOUTHERN BLOOD BOILED.
Lively Row In the Coates Hotel
Which Ended in an unaccepted
CHALLENGE.

Sn6IISOpS.
Quite an exciting episode occurred
In the dining room OF the Coates House
last night, In which Louisville street
railway maRnate and four supplymen
and their guest figured. 1t WAS blood
less, but il threatened to be worse for
some hours.
II seems that the supplymen had
been on the Leaveuworth trip and the
jaunt into prohibition Kansas beipR q
too much for them. they imbibed too
freely upon their return. They went
to the dining room and we're seated st
the table with the Kentucky man and
his wife. Their remarks were rather
broad, to cay the leAst, it Ia declared
and finally they became 30 personal
that the man from Louisville could
stand 1t no more. Rising In his seat
he hurled his napkin In the face Of the
woret talker, and erssped q glass TO
seed 1t after she linen. His wife pc: :
sua1ed him TO desist and the couple
left she dining room.
Later the Louisville man went down
to the lobby, hunted up the supplymen
and declared that they must apologize
to bis wife. They declined. bereupon he
slapped the faces OF twoof them, and
said the others were too small to hit,
and left them, after Offering to do"
any two OF them at once, which chal.
leuRe was declined.
The supplymcn appealed At the desk
for protection and wanted q policeman
cent for, but were not accommod sted.
The wrath Of the Kentucky gentle
man was appeased by the com bfned
efforts OF the hotel management.-

Freight Rates 26 Per Cent to Crush
Out an Independent Firm That
Would Not Surrender
to the Trust.

Mr.. Charles H. Weisse, candidate for
congress in the Fifth district Of Wis
consin, has furnished us some very in
teresting information as to the man
ner in which trusts try to crush out
opposition.
Mr.. Weisse conducts a large tannery
at Sheboygan Falls, Wis, and for more
than 20 years the freight rates between
that place and Chicago have been exact
ly the same as between Sheboygan and
Chicago, Sheboygan Falls being almost
a suburb of Sheboygan. the distance by
rail Is five miles.
The leather trust tried to gobble up
the Weisse tannery, but failed. It sue
ceeded better in Sheboygan, but scarcely
had the trust obtained control of the
tannery at this point when freight on
leather only, not on any other material,
was raised 25 per cent from Sheboygan
Falls.
Mr.. Weisse entered an emphatic pro-
test and threatened to have his leather
hauled to Sheboygan and shipped to
Chicago by boat, he secured reduction
to the old rates.
Now the trust is working another
scheme. Leather shipped by Mr.. Weisse
does not reach its destination on time.
We have been shown letters from the
claim agent of the Southern Railway
company that freight shipped to Knox
Vile, Tenn, and Mcdonald, Ga. last
December is not delivered yet.
Another letter from Chattanooga,
Tenn, complains that the goods shipped
five weeks before had not arrived.
1t seems that the tactics are to hold
freight for manufacturers that are not
In the trust so as to kill their trade.
There is but one remedy for this evil.
and the trust evil in general, and that is
the adoption of the demands of the Peo-
ple's party for government control of
public utilities.-Milwaukee Advance.
