CUTTING, OF FREIGHT RATES.
Admissions Before the Interstate
Commerce Commission.

Some important admissions of rate cut
ting were made at a hearing given by the
interstate commerce commission yesterday
in continuance of the investigation begun
at Kansas City, January 8. Vice Presidents
Paul Morton of the Atchison and J. NJ.
Johnson of the Rock Island and J. NJ.
Monroe, traffic manager of the Union Pa
cifc, testified. All the witnesses admitted
that the published tariff rates on grain
moving in and out of Kansas City, Mo-,
had not been observed. They explained the
me thods by which the lower rates actually
were accorded and contended that these
concessions were necessary. They con-
ceded that there were favored shippers on
most of the transcontinental lines, but
claimed the practice was the natural result
of the competitive conditions of transcon-
tinental traffic The most serious cutting
OF rates they said. prevails between Kan
sas City and Chicago. The witnesses ad-
nitted that at a time when the published
rate from Kansas City to Chicago was l.
cents per 100 pounds there was practi-
cally no grain moved at a rate above {
cents. and more or less of this traffic was
carried at the rate of cents.
Without admitting that the observance of
the published tariff by all the lines and in
all cases would operate to the undue preju-
dice of Kansas City, Messrs. Morton and
Johnson on the part of their. roads, the
only two that run both east and west from
karsas City, stated that if any arrange
ments could be made or any plan devised
which would result in actual bona fide OBJ
servance of the published tariffs, some
changes in the rates would be very freely
made. The rates, they said ordinarily are
based on the Missouri river. and the
through rates made by adding the rates
to Kansas City to those beyond Kansas
CITY Under the present arrangement the
lines west of the Missouri river accept as
their proportion of the through rates to
Chicago and eastern points cent less than
their local rates into Kansas city. This
was explained to be what Is known as 1.-The
arbitrary of which Kansas city shippers
have complained. The officials expressed
their willingness to wipe out this arbitrary
If the lines east of Kansas City would en-
| force their rates.

Gorooran Cadets ovsrwhe,m the
West Branch Team Of Baltim,re.
JOLLY FAT men BOWL over INCA.
Grand Circuit Trotting Dates Fixed
for Next Seas on.
PORTS IN ZEN E R AL

The initial contest of a series of inter-
city games for the championship of Mary
land and the District of Columbia was
played last evening in the Guards Center
Market armory. The contesting teams
were the Corcoran Cadets of this city, who
have as yet not lost game and who have
the fastest set of players in the District il
not in Maryland. Their opponents In the
game were the West Branch Y. NJ. c. A. of
Baltimore the crack basket ball team OF
that city. The game last evening was the
prettiest that has been played in this city
this season, and although the score stands
greatly against them the visitors put up
a strong uphill fight for the game. The
locals showed cleverness and superiority in
the way of passing the bail and in both Of
fensive and defense work. Despite the win
ter weather which Washington experienced
yesterday large throng of followers were
present to cheer their champions on to
victory: The contest resulted in the favor
of the home team by the score of % to Z.
The home team opened the first half of
the game in a way that left no doubt in
the minds of those present that they
would be the victors The scoring was done
by Shoemaker. who scored the first and
last goal, and Moriarty also landed the
leather safely in the base hit Paige scored
the first goal for his team. The score stood
at the END OF the nrSt nalf y TO L against
the visitors.
The best playing was done in the second
half. After few preliminary passes by
the Corcorans which were the profess
sional order, Zell started to swell the score
by making clever throw of the sphere in
to the basket, which was followed closely
by Mastin Moriarity made a goal from
free throw on a foul by Paige, and the lat
ter retrieved himself by scoring a goal af-
ter the ball had been put into play Mas
tin again scored another basket. and not
to be outdone by his comrades Boyle made
a pretty goal from scrimmage. The Sec
ond man to score of the visitors was Park
er, who landed field goal. With but a few
more minutes to play Moriarity landed the
sphere safely in the basket for the second
time.
The game was devoid of wranglng and
everything went off smoothly. After the
contest those present, including the play
ers, remained and enjoyed an informal hop.
The Corcorans expect to repeat the per-
formance of last night when they visit
Baltimore February 15 for the second con-
test of the intercity games

RACE HORSE IDOLS.
Death Won Almost COntinuousiy- n
New Orleans.

Death Won Almost Continuously Mt
New Orleans.
Death. bay gelding by Charaxus out of
the Alarm Bell, has performed wonderfully
so far at the meeting at New Orleans On
Monday he started for the thirteenth time.
but this did not hoodoo him, as he again
won in the same easy style, making nine
wins in thirteen starts
There have always been racing idols in
this country at times. Boston, Ten Brock,
Moliie McCarty Harry Bassett Longfellow,
George Kinney, Hindoo. fremont, Race
land, Domino, Henry of Navarro and many
others have occupied the center of the stage.
Meme of those mentioned ever had the ado
ra tion of the public at large for so long a
period as did the famous old black mare
Imp. -s-,se
That animals name on the entry list
would always draw an extra crowd to the
track where she was to race. Her admir-
erS to man would bet on her and there
were many times when they would figure
her not having chance when she would
fool them and win the race with ease Imp
will; always be remembered when some of
the latest equine stars are wholly forgotten
In the early '90s. at the Guttenburg track
the black horse BlitzeA was an equine idol,
and he was we'll worth the admiration he
those days. The day was never too bleak
or stormy to keep the crowd away from
the track when Blitzen was down on the
program to race. Should he win headgear
would go into the air, and the spectators
would jump to their feet and cheer and
yell
1t is doubtful whether aiy horse. even
the great Morello. who raced years ago,
ever received the ovation rendered to Death
when he raced home winner in the easiest
manner at New Orleans last week, equaling
the track record for six furlongs. After
the race the crowd in the grand stand
jumped to the benches and for fully Ave
minutes shouted and tapplauded.
Cincinnati once went wild over the chest
nut horse Semper Lex, which was owned
the winning habit at Oakley and Latonia
The public got notion that he could not
be beaten and he never was with an even
| break. Marty" Bergen rode him, and he
would run more kindly for him than for
any other jockey.

Lads TO Home.

New York. Oct. 3.-Two wee little boys
were hauled from their seats in the New
Star theatre. Lexington avenue and lo7th
street yesterday afternoon and left to
languish in the care Of the Society for the
Prevention Of Cruelty TO Children last
night, because an agent OF that organ
ization thought them too young to be in
a theatre alone.
They are Irving Pelikar and Harry
Kosher. and live at 81 West llith street,
with Irving's father, a prosperous dia-
mond broker. Irving is ten years old.
slight and delicate. and Harry is IL. While
they were enjoying Nelly McHenrys
presentotion of "Miiss" Frank Barclay,
agent of the Society for the Prevention
Of Cruelty TO Children. espied them. He
had an usher drag them out OF their seats
and take them back to the box office.
who sold you those seats7" demanded
Barclay
He did" answered Irving, with a
shiver. pointing to George Walter. of Is
vandam street. the assistant treasurer
of the theatre.
"Humph." said Barclay. "and how old
are you? Now. be careful and tell me the
truth"
I'm ten," answered Irving.
"And your" turning to Harry.
Eleven" replied the other.
We'll, you've got 10 come with me-"
continued Barclay. and forthwith the boys
were taken to Twenty-third street and
Fourth avenue to the society's rooms.
The man who sold the pasteboards was
taken 10 the East 1o4th street station.
When Mr.. Pelikar returned home last
evening and found the boys missing he
was greatly perturbed
After making inquiries In the neigh
borhood he heard that the boys had been
arrested. He learned little at the East
104th street station. and then set out for
the Children's society.
There he was told he could not see bis
son. He explained that his boy was not
at all strong. and had never been away
| from home at night before. He then
thought Of his friend, Dr. c. II. Park
/ hurst.
From him he got a letter asking the
society officials TO let Mr.. Pelikar see
his son. Mr.. Pelikar says when he pre-
| sented DIR. Parkhursts letter he was met
with sneers and laughter and told 10 go
| home
| lie offered bail 10 the agents. but they
| would not listen TO him. and I'm despair,
| and fearing the effects OF the experience
upon his sons health, Mr. Pelikar went
| home.
