REPUBLIC SPECIAL

hEPUBlIC SPECIAL
Chicago. March 6.-The result Of the dis
cussion by the passenger traffic managers
and general passenger agents of the West
ern railroad lines to-day resulted in but
slight changes being made in restricting
special and free transportation rates in or
der to comply with the Elkins act.
The committee Of five appointed on
Thursday submitted its report and recon-
mendations to the meeting, which were
adopted
The committee recommends that all party
trafzc be restricted to theatrical companies;
state Commerce Commission: only legal de-
auctions and eQualized rates for Govern
ment troops and militia: reduces rates for
railroad laborers when requested by quail
fled officials, and only by conference when
business Is competitive
Labor rates are permissible when legally
established and requirement as to filing Of
tariffs il observed.
Excursion agency employees. when trav-
cling with organized special trains In nee
eseary capacity, may be classed and passed
as railroad employees.
Steamship Representatives may be classed
with transportation rail lines employees
subject to the restrictions Of the passenger
act.
The discussion that followed brought out
the fact that there was some modification
necessary before Its adoption. Land agents
were put on the prohibited list On the head
OF party tariffs" there was a sentiment
favorable to q more liberal Interpretation
Of the rule
The matter of the free Transportation of
Officers and members OF their families in
States troops and State militia, was gone
into and this added to the report

and several doctors were summoned. He
was unconscious when found and remained
In that condition until he died.
II the object was robbery, the murderer
was thwarted, for Carts money was found
untouched in his trousers pockets.
BLOW FROM FISH PLATE
The stable and barn in the rear of the
house where Carl lived is within few feet
of the street-car track. Between the house
and barn Is a picket fence, one Of the
pickets of which is out. Carl carried the
revolver in front Of him after getting of the
car, and evidently lowered 1t while crawling
between the pickets of the fence. which is
within fifteen feet of the rear door Of his
house.
The murdered evidently had been con-
cealed in the stable. and from indications
he waited until Carl stopped to crawl
through the fence and then dealt him a
blow on the back Of the head with -ome
metallic instrument, thought to have been
g fish plate used in connecting railway
rails.
The first blow is believed to have been
enough to kill the victim, and II Is
thought that the contraction of the muscles
OF his hand exploded the revolver.
The bullet passed through one Of the
pickets and cut corner out of another. II
is believed. however. that. although Carl
was fatally injured. he turned partially
around on his assailant- The latter then
dealt him a blow on his right hand whiah
fractured the bones in his hand and wrist.
and, not satisfied. struck him seven times
on the head. The murderer then departed
without searching Carrs clothing.
STRUCK SEVEN TIMES.
Doctors who were summoned found that
they could do nothing to save his life. In
the meantime the alarm had been spread
and the residents OF Lansdowne were
aroused Two policemen were called, and
after looking over the scene returned to
notify the department.
1t was thought at first that a piece Of a
wagon stake, which was found near where
Carl had fallen and was covered with blood
had been used to infiict the injuries. but this
theory was discarded for the one which
gave the murderer C heavy piece Of metal
as a weapon
That the object of the murder was rob-
berry Is argued from the fact that the as
sauIt was committed in Carrs yard. where
he would not have suspected anything OF
the sort, and that the discharge Of his
weapon probably defeated the murderer
purpose.

Mathew A. Carl. grocer. and proprietor
of a waiting-room on the outskirts OF East
ST. Louis. was fatally assaulted in the yard
in the rear of his home at midnight Thurs
day. He died from the effects Of his in
juries at a. m. yesterday.
The motive OF the murderer was supposed
to have bean robbery. although 1T was dis
covered that Carts valuables had not been
disturbed. The inquest will be held by
Coroner McCracken this morning.
Residents of Iansdowne held several in
formal meetings yesterday and practically
decided on the organization OF vigilance
committee. The details may be perfected
to-day.
Mr.. Carl was g years old and with his
brothers was engaged in the real estate
and building business in Lansdowne. sub
urb of East St. Louis. He also conducted
the grocery and waiting-room at the juno
ton of the East st. Louis city cars and
the Edwardsville line. He lived with his
brother, Chris Carl, about block from his
store.
About two weeks ago burglars entered
Mr.. Carts store, and after thoroughly ran
sacking the place for money, escaped with
a lot Of cigars. Since then Mr.. Carl has
carried revolver in his hand when return
ing home after closing his store at mid
night
DREAMED OF BURGLARS.
Wednesday night Mr.. Carl dreamed that
burglars had entered the yard in the rear
Of his home. and that he and his brother
had had a fight with them. He told his
dream to his brother and sister-in-law and
all laughed about 1t.
Thursday night the dream required to
him and he told Mike Meehan. motorman,
about 1t. and also said that he feared that
he would be held up on his way to his
home. Meehan volunteered to back his car
to the rear Of the Carl home, which is less
than a block from the station.
Carl jumped OF the car there and carried
his revolver in his right hand. Meehan had
hardly gone fifty feet on his return trip
when he was startled by the report Of a
revolver. He turned on all the power of
the motor. and at the terminus he toid sew
eral men about his fears that Carl had been
held up and induced them to return with
him to the place.
When they got there they met Carls
brother. Chris Carl, and other members OF
the family, who were STOPPING over the body
of Matthew Carl, who lay unconscious in
the yard. He was carried into the house

FR1sCo-RoCK ISLAND CONFERENCE.
Believed Deal Ii Adjusted. but An
nouncement In Not Made.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New York. March 6-No official announce
ment followed a three hours conference
OF Rock Island Morgan Frisco interests this
afternoon to adjust the deal. which is pend
ing for the transfer Of the St. I.ouis and
San Francisco system to the Rock Island.
The fact that James Campbell left the ETY.
Immediately after the meeting for st. Louis
led to the belief in some quarters. that the
matter had been finally closed. but persons
who attended the conference, although ex-
tremely reticent. said that nothing OF pub
lie interest developed.
Mr.. Campbell had intended to leave New
York Thursday night. but W. b. Leeds.
president of the Rock Island. who had been
in the South, did not arrive lin the city on
schedule time, and MIR. Campbelrs departure
was postponed for a day. 1t was said at
Mr.. Leeds Office to-day that he had not
been there during the day.
1t is believed tnat the delay in making
public announcement Of the taking over Of
Frisco by Rock Island is due to fear that
by 20 doing Rock Island would find itself
in opposition to the pooling clause Of the
Interstate Commerce law, and rather than
take chances Of openly violating this law. 1t
is deemed wise to wait until q holding COM
pany is organized to take over control OF
both properties or a definite decision is
made in the Northern Securities case. al
though It was said In unusually well-in-
formed quarters to-day that IL the deal was
