Three prisoners, charged with raising
silver certificates and Treasury notes.
have been captured by Chief Hazen,
of the Secret Service, assisted by De
tectives Burton, Cannon and Henry,
at 149 West Ninety-eighth street, New
York. The prisoners taken were Ed
ward Henry. alias Rondle, thirry-sev-
en- years old; his wife, Mary, twenty
nine years old, and his brother-in-la
Harry Eschbach, alias Miller, thirty
two years old. When arraigned be-
fore United States Commissioner
Shields they were charged with rails

outfit for the raising of bills. which
consisted of hand press, inks. paper

section cuts, and several clectrotypes
which had been made from the wood

Chief Hazen is of the opinion that
he has nipped a scheme in the bud for
issuing a number of counterfeit Ave
dollar notes. because the back of
five-dollar note was found on Esch
bach. The chief does not believe that
anything further had been done In
that direction as yet. As to how much
raised money they had succeeded in
passing. the chief would not venture
to say. but he stated that the work
was very good. making it exception
ally hard to detect. The custom of
the woman, who did some of the pass
ing, was to seldom purchase anything,
but to invariably ask for change.
All the prisoners were intelligent
and made good appearance when ar
raigned before the Commissioner.
Henry is smooth-faced, rather well
dressed man, and Eschbach was also

THE AUTOMOBILE STAGE LINE Bill

Mr. Scrfbner. the general manager of the Fifth
Avenue Stage Line, speaking of the Goodse bill
which has been criticised in OF the Albany
dispatches. yesterday said:
There seems TO be an impression that the Good
sell bill, which passed by the Assembly yester-
day. confers exclusive franchise on the New
York Electric Vehicle Transportation COMPANY
There is no ground for any such impression in the
bill itself amended and passed. The original
Goodseil bill did, inferentially an exclusive
franchise, but the bill amended and passed can
not bear any such Interpretation II provides:
''First-For extensions Of automobile stage routes
by the approval of the State Board OF Railroad
Commissioners and
''Second-For the right 10 charge fare not ex-
ceeding cents per passenger for a continuous
ride the whole any part OF the routes
The purpose Of this is TO make il business
possibility for any existing stage company to give
the public an improved service. AS to the Fifth
Avenue Stage Line, IL has recently passed
through several hands and has paid its oper-
ating expenses and unless its can see in
the future possibility Of making ends meet
they undertake the expense and risk of
eQuipping the with automobiles for which
there is now dssaand on the part Of the travelling
public.

THE RAILWAYS STILL DISCRIMINATE.
The Industrial Commission SO Declares in a
Preliminary Report to Congress.
(By The Associated Press. J

Washington, May 1.-THE Industrial
Commission today made the preliminary
report to Congress on the subject OF
transportation. TIE commission states
that owing to the incompleteness OF its
inquiry the commission as yet is not pre-
pared at present to make recommenda :
tions to Congress or to the State Legs
latureS."
AS to question of discrimination oe-
tween individuals the report says that
the general concensus of opinion among
witnesses is that the railways still make
them and perhaps to as great an extent
as ever before.
They also say that the evidence is clear
that the great terminal elevators in chi
cago and to less extent in other grain
markets are owned by comparatively few
persons; that the owners of the pubic
elecators also control private elevators;
that they themselves buy large proper
ton of the grain which comes into public
elevators and that the business or hand
ling grain on commission has been very
greatly reduced by this practice. It also
is claimed that these men own most of
the country elevators. The commission
concludes that it is probable that the
claim that these large elevators receive
favors from the railways in one way or
another has some basis.
On the question of grain rates and -four
shipments it is stated that the evidence
seems conclusive that the effect of COM
bination has already been disastrous to
our agricultural interests and that proba-
bly, even with the difference in rates re-
duced as already shown it will continue to
be injurious.
1t is also concluded that the powers of
the Inter-s state Commerce Commission are
more limited than the trainers of the law
intended.
