|. & N. RY. INDICTED
GRAND JURY AT LOUISVILLE IN
VESTIGATES EXTENSIVE
RATE CUTTING
MADE 3 PER CENT REBATE
Two Counts AIIege That the Road
Has Moved Corn at COnsid-
erabIy Less Than Reg
uIar Rates

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 16-An in
6ictment returned against the Louisville
& Nashville railway by the Federal
grand jury was made public today. IN
der the national interstate commerce law
the offense, consisting of charging less
for the transportation Of car load lots
than the Interstate commerce law pre-
scribed. There are two counts in the
bill, which charges that on Nov. 13. 1901,
the Louisville g. Nashville, and the Nash
vile, Chattanooga & st. Louis road, OPP
Grating as common carriers through the
states Of Kentucky, Tennessee, Ala
bama and into Georgia, made a rate to
S. Corn & Co., of this city, on $4,000
pounds of corn shipped to Atlanta from
Louisville by the roads named.
This rate made the total freight charge
on this lot 1914 when it should have
been S,113,G0. The difference in rebate
amounted to cents, being 81 cents, when
it shrOUld have been "a cents.
The other count sets forth that on the
same date on another lot of 46, 900 pounds
shipped by the same roads to Atlanta,
total freight charge of S117. so was made,
when it should have been $134.40, this also
being Scent rebate.
The witnesses named in the Indictment
are II. F. Smith, A S. Dodge, M. P.
Washburne, of the Southeastern & Mis-
sfssippi Valley Tariff association; Fred
w. H. Hudson, traffic manager Of the
D. II. & St. Louis; Joseph A. Bushfield,
and John S. Greene.
Concerning the accusation on which
this indictment is based, Vice President
Hines, Of the Louisville & Nashville rail-
way said:
1.-The Indictment alleges that this COM
pany has violated the law by charging
rate Of q cents per 100 pounds Of grain
from Louisville to Atlanta, when the
tariff rate was "a cents. The fact is
that a proportiouate rate of 8 cents per
100 pounds less than the local tariff has
for great many years been applied by
all railroads operating from Louisville
and Cincinnati to Southeastern territory
upon grain originating at points west Of
st. Louis and reshipped from Louisville
or Cincinnati, and the shipments referred
TO in the Indictment were of this charac'
ter. This less rate on such reshipments
is an open and public rate applicable and
applied alike to all.
This adjustment whereby the less rate
IS allowed to reshipments originating at
points west of St. Louis, certainly con-
forms to the real purpose of the inter-
state commerce law, which are publicity
and equality. There has been neither
secrecy nor unjust discrimination in its
application. I apprehend that we will
have no difficulty in showing that there
has been fun compliance with the law"

TO BETTER THE SERVICE.
Burlington VIII Examine All AppII-
cants for Positions as Engineers.

An attempt is to be made by ti1z man
agement of the Burlington road to raise
the intellectual standard of locomotive
engineers by refusing to employ men as
hremen who have not been fairly weh
educated.
instructions have just been issued by
officers of this company that hereafter
a more severe educational test will be
given applicants for the position Of lire
men. The instructions are part of new
general regulations regarding the employ
ment of men for this branch of the 5erV-
ice.
The new order specifies that applicants
for the position of firemen must be phySl-
Cally perfect must not be under feet
Z inches nor over feet inches in height,
and must weigh not less than 140 nor
over 30 pounds.
In the way of an educational test the
following is given in the order as an eX-
ample of what applicants must be prepar-
ed to answer:
Add a column of five numbers of five
places each.
Subtract any number OF -FOUR places
from a greater number.
Multiply any number of six places by
any number of two places.
Express series of numbers containing
from one to six places in written words.
Fill out a report of supposhIous
accident.
Write a letter applying for a position
as fireman, giving reasons for desire to
engage in railroad work and applicants
early opportunities for an education.
Answer the following questions:
Who discovered America?
How many wars have the United States
engaged in?
During what years was the Civil war
fought?
Who was president during that period?
Who is president now?
BY what party elected?
In answering these questions preference
will be given to applicants who have pass
ed the highest grade in school.
The committee that will have charge Of
the examinations shall be made up Of
the mechanic of the division where ap-
plicatiOn is made, the master mechanics
chief clerk and the road foreman. All
other points being equal, preference will
be given to applicants who have been
employed in other branches of the rail-
road service or who may have had some
experience in the mechanical department.
Applicants who have been in railroad
work must not be under twenty-Cne
years of age nor over tWenty-eight, and
persons who have had no railroad ex-
perience must not be older than twenty
six years.
Until recently an applicants educational
equipment was SubOrdinated to his phySi-
cal condition, age and previous railroad
experience. This resulted In the train
ing of many persons for the work of an
engineer whose educational qualifications
were very deficient. Under the new Cr-
ders 1iremen will not be promoted to
engineers positions unless they shall have
been in the service at least two and a
half years and shall have run 1850 en-
gine miles.

BUSINESS Is DECREASING.
Net Earnings Are Increasing, How
ever, by Reason of Better Rates.

CHICAGO, March 1S.-AIthough the
freight business on both the Eastern and
Western roads Is steadily decreasing vet
most of the roads continue to Increase
their net earnings over those of last wear
which was one of the heaviest years in
railway history. The reason is that the
roads get much better rates. While no
material advances in the regular class
rates have been made. yet the classifica-
ton of nearly everything except flour.
grain, provisions, live stock and lumber
has been so changed as to advance fhe
rates from % to 80 per cent Even on
grain, flour, provisions, ETC.. the roads
get much higher rates than formerly.
Owing TO the increased activity shown
by the interstate commerce commission
and the fear Of prosecutions, the rates

are better maintained than ever before,
which increases the revenues. In addi-
ton to that the roads are operated more
cheaply than formerly. ALI this goes to
show that even with an average business
the railroads will be able to pay divf-
dends on their heavily watered stocks,
unless they should be compelled to make
more reasonable rates

Coast Trains VIII BE All Moving

The blockade on the coast lines was
practically raised yesterday afternoon st
o'clock, when the roads issued orders
to have the trains moved as far as pos
sible. The trains will leave st. Paul as
usual this morning, and it is likely that
most OF the coast trains will get IN this
morning, although the service is pretty
badly crippled as yet.
The coast trains yesterday were all a
number of hours late and the travel was
quite light. The settlers will not move
very rapidly for a day or two yet, al
though the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific will probably both have to put
on extra equipment for the morning
trains.
