KOHLSAAT SAYS THAT HE
WON'T ENTER CABINET
Chicago Man Gathers Information on
Financial Legislation for the President

OYSTER BAY. N. Y. Aug. 25.-H. H.
Kohlsaat. of Chicago was a guest of the
president and Mrs. Roosevelt at luncheon
After his conference with the pres
ident, Mr.. Kohlsaat said in response
to an inquiry that his call had nothing
whatever to do with any contemplated
change in the cabinet.
1t has been rumored," said Mr.. Kohl
saat, that | might be appointed postmas-
ter general, but there is absolutely moth
ing in that story The president contem-
plates no change in that office. In fact
he desires that his cabinet should re-
main intact. at least until the close of
the present Administered ton. Personally,
ident has no office in his gift which 1
would, accept"
Mr.. KohlSaat did discuss with the pres
fdent the subject of financial legislation.
For several weeks he has been gathering
informa ton for the president bearing on
the subject
Il think some legislation of a remedial
character may be enacted at the ap-
preaching session of congress-" he said.
The demand for financial legislation
comes principally from the East but even
here financiers are not in accord. In
the West our people are not thinking
much about the matter. The West is
banks have SO much money they are dis
counting Eastern commercial paper every
day"
The president has accepted an invita-
ton to attend the unwilling of the monu-
ment erected on the battlefield of Antie-
diers who fell in that historic engage
ment. The ceremonies are to take place
Sept. II, the fortieth anniversary of the
battle.

LAKE SUPERIOR CO.
WILL REORGAN|zE
Result of the Failure of Stock
holders to Subscribe to
Bond Issue.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 25.-The
Consolidated Lake Superior company
which is having difficulty in raising
funds. is to be reorganized. owing to
the failure of the stockholders to sub
scribe to the proposed issue of $15,0O0,-
900 in bonds. A statement issued by
the company today says:
The effort to provide funds needed
by the Consolidated Lake Superior
company, through the sale of bonds,
has not produced the required results,
and it has been found necessary to
abandon this plan. 1t is proposed now
to effect a complete reorganization OF
the company's affair& by the formation
of new corporation and the exchange
of the old stock for new upon the pay
ment of assessments. which will pro-
duce the amount of money which it
was sought to raise through the issue
of bonds.
"a syndicate is now being formed to
advance the $S,000O00 needed by the
company fer the discharge of current
obligations and for additional working
capital and to carry through plan or
reorganization. A reorganization,
such as is contemplated, will call for
the payment by the stockholders of
virtually the same amount that has
been asked for in the form of subscrip-
tons to bonds, but will obviate the ne
cessity of creating any bond issue and
will permit the reduction of the COM
pany'S capitalization to a figure close
1y approXimating the actual cash in
VeStment in the property"

.BAGGAcEmAsTEElRs WILL
HANDLE SOME MAIL
They Are Duly Authorized to Deliver
the unpouched NEWSPAPER Portion.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The post
master general issued formal order
today authorizing the delivery of un-
pouched newspaper mail by baggage
masters. The regulation is made
by amending paragraph 5 section 1883
of the postal laws and regulations so as
to make it read:
whenever delivery of outside news
dealers packages cannot be made by
the regular railway postal clerk, by
reason of there being no postal clerk
on the train used for the transporta
ton of such mail. the baggageman of
the train will deliver the packages of
such news dealers out of the sack, and
While in his custody they shall be con-
Sidered mail matter. Baggagemen
shall deliver such packages at such
places shown in the directory. Bag
gagemen are not permitted to receive
second class mail matter directly from
the publishers on postmasters' certifi-
Gates unless specially authorized by the
department through the division super
intendent to do so.
Packages for delivery outside of the
mail when handled and delivered by
railway baggagemen will be duly
weighed and credited to the railway
company carrying them, the same as
other mail matter.
I'm order to distinguish packages for
outside delivery sent by mail from
those sent by express companies or by
railway service it is required that pub
fishers shall have printed in bold type
On wrapper of mail packages for out
side delivery the words: United States
Mail for Outside Delivery at Publish

Rock island viii Refuse to Re-
store Old Tariff Schedules
Because the Western Pas
senger Association Adopted
a New Mileage System.

John Sebastian, passenger traffic
manager of the Rock Island system, is
now the potent factor the ST. Paul
Chicago line rate trouble, according to
reports from Chicago. Rumor says
that the Wisconsin Central is now
willing to restore the old rate OF $11.50
for passenger traffic between the Twin
Cities and Chicago, but Mr.. Sebastian
refuses to act in conjunction with the
other lines in the restoration OF the
tariff.
Mr.. Sebastian, it is said, has grieV-
ance. The st. Paul Chicago lines, as
members of the Western Passenger
association, have agreed upon the new
form of mileage tickets good on all
trains, abolishing the old credential
system. This is where the shoe pinch
es the passenger traffic manager of
the Rock Island.
The credential mileage books which
have been in use several years by the
lines that are members of the Western
Passenger association, will soon be re-
placed The book is Mr.. Sebastian
creation He holds the patent and
copyright and he draws the royalties
from the sale of the books.
The income from the royalties is
said to be considerable, and Mr.. Sc
bastian is in no hurry to see his com
Portable p1ttance cut OIL by the dDoll-
ton of the crendential system. In fact
the Rock Island has served notice on
the members Of the Western PaSSen-
ger association that it will not change
it's present form of mileage book, but
will refuse to honor the new inter-
changeable ticket, continuing to use
it's present form of mileage on the
lines of the Rack Island-Frisco sys-
tenn.
And to the ST. Chicago lines
Mr.. Sebastian has delivered an. ulti-
matum, which is to the effect that the
So Chicago-St. Paul rate will remain
in force just as long as the lines use
the new mileage ticket.
Mr.. Sebastian can afford to keep the
rate in vogue, for his line carries but
few passengers to Chicago. He loses
but little by the reduction, while the
earnings of the other lines are les
sened several thousand dollars each
week that the low rate remains in
force.
1t is said that the Wisconsin Cen
trail is ready to agree to the restoration
of the old rate, or, at least, to the eS-
tablishment of a $40 tariff for Twin
City Chicago business. But the Rock
Island is firm. Mr.. Sebastian is re-
taliating for the loss of his royalties
The Chicago-St. Paul lines must re-
tain the present credential system OF
mileage or the So rate will remain in
force.

REDUCTION is FAR-REAcHiNe.
EIGHT Dollar Excursion Rate Affects ST.
Louis Business.

The So round trip rate to Chicago. in
effect Aug. 81, will probably be used as
a basing rate that day for rates to all
points reached via the Chicago gate
way. The return limit of the So tick
cts, Sept Is, is long enough, so that
the rate can profitably be applied to all
business reached by way of Chicago.
At first it was thought that the low
rate would not be used for basing pur-
poses, but travellers can achieve the
same result by rebuying tickets at
Chicago The Rock Islands and undoubt-
eddy the other Chicago lines will sell
through tickets to points reached via
Chicago at IS plus the double local
from Chicago to the point which the
traveller desires to reach.
This. for instance, makes a reduction
of $3.50 in the roundtrip rate to ST.
Louis. The present rate is $14.25 for
one way. The local from Chicago to
ST. Louis is So each way. The So
round trip rate to Chicago thus makes
the round-trip rate to st. Louis $24,
instead of $3.50. The. same thing is
true of practically all points south and
east of Chicago.
