MRS. BAIR HURT.
Painfully Injured In Trolley Car
Collisions

There was a rear end collision of
electric cars on the West Sixth avenue
line of the city railway Tuesday after
noon, and as a result Mrs. Emma
Bair, mother of J. K Bair, was pain
fully injured. Mrs. Bair was thrown
violently to the floor of one of the
cars by the collision, sustaining severe
bruises about the limbs and body.
One of the cars was Immediately fol-
lowing the other eaStbound. At the
white post between Tyler and Polk
streets the forward car was stopped to
let Mrs. Bair alight, and the second
car crashed into the rear vestibule.
Mrs. Bair was just in the act of step
ping into the vestibule when the col
lision occurred. and she was thrown
backward to the floor.
Motorneer Parker was in charge of
the second car, and it seems that he
was responsible for the accident The
forward car did not stop suddenly, and
had Parker been attending strictly to
business he could have stopped his car
in time to prevent the collision. The
rear vestibule of the forward car was
badly wrecked, and the front vestibule
of the second ear considerably dam
aged.
The forward car was behind time,
and in this way both cars were practi-
caiiy running together.

UP GO RATES.
General Western Freight Ad-
vance Effective Thursday.

Chicago, Jan. 24.-The Chronicle says:
Rates on nearly 200 articles will be
advanced by the roads west of Chicago
by classification that will go into ef-
feet in that territory Thursday. The
increase in charges will average about
10 per cent, though in many cases the
advance is more and will affect every
article received by railroads for ship
ment. The rates have not been ad-
vanced directly, but the result is the
same. Instead of dealing with the
rates the articles affected have been
placed in higher classifications.
Merchants and. shippers throughout
the affected territory, which is bounded
by a line drawn through Chicago and
st. Louis on the east, the Pacific coast
on the west, the Canadian line on the
north and the Gulf of Mexico on the
south are protesting vigorously against
the advance.
A meeting of the representatives of
the railroads and the protesting ship
pers will be held in Chicago February
to discuss the classification More than
200 roads are to use the new classifica-
LiOn.

ANTITRUST MEETING.
To Be Held In Chicago Promises to
Be q Success.

Chicago, Jan. Pan. L. Lockwood,
president of the American Antitrust
league and chairman of the executive
committee which has in charge all the
arrangements of the coming conference,
is in Chicago. Concerning the meeting
he said:
THE antitrust conference, which
meets. in Chicago February II, prom
ises now to be even larger and more
representative than was anticipated
Over 500 acceptances have been received
and it would be no surprise to me if
there were two thousand delegates pres
ent. The character of the acceptances
and the people from whom they are
coming indicate that the trust subject
continues to be one of absorbing in
terest to the people of this country 1t
is evident, too, that people are begin
ming to realize that the only weapon
which can be used effectively against
the trust evil is the government owner

ton.
Mr.. Spooner CWisconsin) asked Mr.
Pettigrew If he meant to hold the pres
ident responsible for the slavery clause
in the Su1u treaty
81 do" Mr. Pettigrew replied.
Then" said Mr.. Spooner, "I read
from the message of the president to
congress. The president says: I have
confirmed said agreement subject to
the action of congress, and with the
reservation which I have directed shall
be communicated to the Sultan of Jolo,
that this agreement is not to be deemed
in any way to authorize or give con-
istence of slavery in the Sulu archipel-
ago.
Mr.. Pettigrew replied that there was
no assurance that the. presidents state
ment would ever reach the sultan. He
declared it was simply case of double
dealing and nothing else.
At the conclusion of the address OF
Mr. Pettigrev, Mr.. Lodge (AIassachu-
setts) said that while the resolution
was covered by one previously adopted
there was no objection to its passage
1t was then adopted.
A joint resolution diverting and set
ting apart $5O,0G0 out of the sums here
tofore appropriated for Jetty work al

Florida and Georgia, for sIuicing and
dredging at the entrance of the soun /

Mr.. Carter (Mont.), chairman of the

port of the conferees on the bill con-
ferring additional authority on the di-
rector of the census.

ed in the use of these cars, which will
be shipped to France in a short time

course of action in equipping all gov
