STRUCK FROM CREDIT LIST
Butcher Tells of Systematic work
inEs of the Pnckers' Rules
Regarding Patrons.

KANSAS CITY, May SOW. t. Reed,
an attorney. Is taking dispositions to be
used by George NJ. Tucker, a butcher and
retail grocer Of Argentine, Kan, in dam
age suits against several pacging houses
Of this city and Kansas City, Kan. Tucker
alleges that until about a year ago his meat
bills had been marked 20. K.," as he
paid them promptly; but, according TO
his story, in May Of last year Cudahys rep
resentative failed to present Vhe usual
statement on Wednesday. The N g, but
no statement. Tucker called IL .fif,
ment. 1t came the next morning. u.
was Thursday and the packing house =,
is that all bills must be paid each Wednes-
day for the week previous. Tucker sent
his check. but 1t was returned without
presentation at the bank and he had to pay
cash.
The next day each meat bill came with
a star stamped on it. The star means
that the dealer whose bill II appears on
must pay cash on receipt OF the meat or the
driver must take II back. Tucker says
every bill that came from every packing
house in the city had the same star on 1t
and he had to pay cash at once.
The second day every wholesale house in
the city received information that his credit
was bad and demanded payment Of bills
that called for cash in sixty days, but had
been running, some of them not more than
a week.
Alfred NJ. Wicker, former cashier for
Swift & Company, testified that while he
was in the companys employ there was a
credit book which was taken every morn
ing to the desk of W. F. Colladay, the COM
panys credit man, for revision. II retail
butcher was a day behind in paying a bill
to any packer in the association his name
went on list which was furnished after
ward to drivers, and they we're never al
lowed to give him credit afterwsrd.
Colladay went on the witness stand and
said he never heard of such a book. Testi-
mony was secured showing that II a butcher
disputed with the driver about the quality
of meat or refused to take meat, alleging
that 1t was tainted or not up to the grade
ordered that butcher soon found himself
on the blacklist.

SAVED BY COOL MoToRMAN
He Restraints Passengers from Leap
ing from Elevated Train
to the Ground.

CHICAGO, May SO.-Nesrly 100 passengers
on Northwestern elevated train we're
thrown into a panic last night when de-
fectiye electric wiring set fire to the smok-
ing car at Franklin and Superior streets.
Everybody In the train was thrown from
his seat and the occupants Of the smoker
rushed for the rear door.
1t was with the greatest difficulty that
some were restrained from leaiilg from,
the structure to the ground. That no one
was seriously injured Is due, in great meas
ure, to the coolness of /. J. Landphere, the
motorman.
AS soon as the accident occurred Land
phere shut down his powe, sud. leaping out
on the STRUCTURE, ran t. tne rear Of tho
smoker and actually had to beat two mer
down off the rail OF the platform before he
could persuade them not to jump.
BY this time the whole front end Of the
train was in flames and an alarm was
turned in. The blaze was quickly extin-
guished by a chemical engine.

FIRE AT LETTERS BREWERY
Cooper shop, Stables and Ice House
Consumed, but Main Building
saved.

About midnight fire was discovered in the
icehouse at letters brewery. South Omaha,
and spread with great rapidity to the cooper
shop and the stables, all frame buildings,
to the west of the main structure. All
were totally destroyed The icehouse was
42x162 feet, the cooper chop 24x60 and the
stables 24x74. A rough estimate places the
loss at between $4,000 and $40, 1000. In
surance on these buildings to the amount
Of $10,700 was carried. This amount, how
ever, does not cover the insurance on the
ice, $500 tons, as this has been purchased
by the Star Ice company.
A portion OF the cooper shop and the
stables had recently been rebuilt. The
cooper shop contained two cars OF material
besides tools and machinery, while the
stables contained quantities OF feed and
harness. All Of the twenty horses we're
taken out before the FIRE did any great
damage to the stables.
Martin letter stated that B. letter. the
president Of the brewing company was at
present in Louisville, KY. but would be
home today He further stated that the
construction OF new stables would be COM
menced at once and that brick would be
used. The cooper shop will most likely be
rebuilt at the same time, but work on the
icehouses will not be begun for some time.
No one about the place seems to know
how the fire started All Of the watchmen
reported everything all right at about II 30
o'clock, but half an hour later the flames
had broken out and the bright light in the
sky could be seen for a considerable dis
tance.
The fire department worked hard and ev-
cry available man was pressed into service
1t was due to the number of streams used
that the fire was prevented from spreading
to the main buildings of the brewery Hun
dreds Of people were drawn to the scene by
the blaze and they only left when the last
spark had been extinguished.
