An Ann Arbor student was
arrested in Washington this
week for distributing S. tips, it
being supposed that he was in
sane. To have arrested the man
for not distributing tips would
have been more to the point in
this day, since hotels and rail
road companies have become so
poor that they cannot pay their
employees, or the employees
have become so valuable that
they must be paid by both their
employees and those whom
they serve.

lar manner. A fire in some
grass threatened to cause dam
age on farm, one of the own
ers of which happened to have
an automobile. The situation
called for quick work in plow
ing a break. The auto was
hitched to a two-horse pillow and
sent through the field at a five
mile gait. The experiment
worked so we'll that the auto
was soon afterwards hitched
to two-horse mower. The re-
suit was that an acre and a
half of grass which it usually
took from two and a half to
three hours to cut was cut
in half an hour.If such results
as these can be obtained in so
crude a way it will not be long
before automobile plows, rakes,
mowers and other implements
will find a market. Simple
attachments would so easily
make the power available for
loading and unloading that be-
fore many years farm work is
not unlikely to be much lighter
than it is.

His Opinion.

A. B. Duvall. corporation counsel, has
rendered an opinion to the Commissioners
on the request of H. NJ. Sterling for the
cancellation Of certain special assessments
against property in Howard University sub
division. The claim for cancellation was
based upon the allegation that the curb
was laid on private property and against
the protest of the owner. This claim is
denied by the District. The claim was fur
Their made by Mr.. Sterling that the case>of
Margaret Krouse against the District was
a test case to determine the authority of
the District in laying this curb and widen
ing Brightwood avenue.
This Is an entire misrepresentation" says
Mr.. Duvall. "f1r there is no record show
ing that the Krouse case was intended as a
test case; 1t was an action of trespass and
was determined On its own particular facts;
1t had nothing to do with any assessment.
and. in point Of fact, Mrs Krouse paid
this assessment for curb, as did all the
other parties assessed excepting only the
present applicant. / am of opinion that
the application should be refused"

GERMAN CoURTs-MARTIAL.
Brutalities Severely Punished and Tone
of Army Improved.

BERLIN. September 10.-Paragraphs
similar to the following appear almost daily
In the provincial press:
"Cologne-The court-martial of the if
teenth division has sentenced Sergeant
Schott to a year in prison and degradation
for flogging priyates and horsewhipping
and kicking them Twelve artillerymen
were sentenced to short terms for assisting
him.
There have been eighty convictions of
sergeants for abuse of privates during the
last three months and about 200 courts
martial are pending.
The administration of the army Is max
ing the most determined efforts to stop
these brutalities, which Herr Bebel, the
socialist leader. detailed in ferocious
three hours speech in the reichstag IN the
spring. The weak reply Of Gen. Won Gossler
on the following day probably cost him his
place as minister of war.
1t has long been the theory Of military
men that a little rough treatment was good
for prtvates and cultivated manhood in
them. The emperor never shared these
views nor countenanced the cruelties ,prac-
tced in nearly every regiment.
He issued order most absolutely for
bidding the ill-treatment of privates and
ordering the prosecution and severe punish
ment of those guilty of such ill-treatment.

Hays Consolidated Mining, Milling and
Lumber Company. a corporation organized

The complainant alleges that relying upon
the Inducements held out by the prospectus

that in Issuing and selling said stock the
defendant perpetrated a fraud upon him.
The defendant did not, so the petition al

acres of ranch and grazing land claimed to
be owned by it. nor does it own 5000 acres
of timber land as claimed, but owns only
II 600 acres Of timber land.
The petitioner further claims that 1t was
represented to him that lne value of the
timber land owned by the company was
Sc, 800 coo and that upon this statement he
purchased the stock.
The court is asked to appoint a receiver
and to enjoin the treasurer Of the company
from spending the money of the concern
pending the determination by the court as
to whether or not the complainant should
have back his $4,000 upon surrender Of his

FREIGHT CONGESTION.
All Railroads Have More Than Thev
Can Handle.

According to the general understanding in
local railroad circles Washington and other
eastern cities have not been entirely free
from the effects of the freight -blockades
in the central cities and at Phtsburg Ship
ments due to pass through Washington
from the western states are, in many in
stances. one and two days late. 1t Is point
ed out that only through the greatest care
and continuous hard work on the part OF
the officials of the various railroads have
like blockades been averted in Washing
ton.
Such blockades and delays in shipments
are in the opinion of the majority of the
railroad officials, due to the prosperous
condition of the country. All railroads on
tering and passing through Washington are
handling more freight than ever before. It
was stated at the local Office OF the Balu-
more and Ohio that that road Is unable to
take care Of the freight offered In order
that there might be no blockade or delays
the officials at the big cities along the route
are declining to accept any more freight
than can be cared for with safety. Orders
are being taken upon the condition that
the goods will be shipped in turn. The
Pennsylvania is working under the same
conditions as are the Chesapeake and Ohio.
the Norfolk and Western and the Southern.
The shipment Of freight to the southern
states during the past few months has sur
passed all records.
In the opinion Of the majority of the rail.
road men the present congestion of freight
and freight 5iockades is due primarily to
the lack of facilities. This is true of nearly
every road in the country. The situation.
however, IS being relieved as rapidly as
possible by the manufacture Of more cars
and general eQuipage.
I'm the last three or four years." General
Passenger Agent Fuller of the Chesapeake
and Ohio stated this morning, the general
passenger and freight transportation over
the railroads Of the country has more than
doubled. The base of the present situation
Is found in the fact that no railroad COM
pany has been able to increase it's trackage
and general equipment sufficient to meet
the demands.
There has been an abundant amount of
money to increase facilities. but we cannot
find any manufacturer who will take the
money and furnish the goods. All the
locomotive works of the country are laden
down with orders: In fact, 1t Is reported
that such plants are two and three years
behind in their deliveries. The car-buiding
plants are in the same condition. All the
railroads have placed orders and all We
can do is to patiently await their fulfill
ment.'

Sault Ste. Marie.

PHILADELPHIA. September 10-E. II.
Sanborn, vice president of the Consolidated
Lake Superior Company, today made pub
&c a brief statement answering the critf-
cism of the company's action in removing
the books OF the corporation from this city
to Sault Ste Marie, Canada.
The officials of the concern gave the
stockholders permission to examine the
books. but when counsel for the stockhold-
ers visited the company's Office here he was
informed that the accounts had been trans
ferred to the company's Office at Sault Ste.

part, as follows:
When Mr.. Shields was elected president
Of the Consolidated Lake Superior Com
pany in April last one OF his first steps
was to close the expensive offices in this
city and transfer all of the accounts to
the works at Sault Ste. Marie Ont. There
was no secrecy nor mystery about this re-
moval. as 1t was announced in the papers
at least two weeks before the change was
made, and was commented upon several
times as commendable move IN the dir &C.

the company's affairs This action of five
months ago has been ingeniously distorted
into a surreptitious spiriting away of rec

THIEVES TRUST SPOILED.
Chicago Grocers Break Up Organization
by MANY Arrests,

CHICAGO. September 1O.-By the arrest
of eight men last night the wholesale gro
GERS of Chicago struck an initial blow at a
widespread conspiracy by which they have
lost thousands of dollars worth of mer-
chandise In the last few weeks.
Those in custody are six teamsters, a re-
ceiving clerk and a retail grocer.
Other arrests will be made today, and the
promise is that fifty or more men. employees
of the wholesale houses. as well as retail
grocers. will be involved in the charges.
According to the confession of one of the
prisoners. the scheme was worked in this
manner:
"A driver would take sixty bags of sugar
out of the warehouse. Then he would drive
around to some retail grocer who was in
on the play and would deliver perhaps fif-
teen of the bags to him. That done. he
would deliver the other forty-five to the
wholesale house.
'Of course, to make the records seem
right it would be necessary for the drivers
to have an understanding wi tn Soma receiv-
ing wholesale house The re-
ceiving clerk would check up for sixty
sacks received. and in this way the theft
would not be detected until 1t was found
the stock on hand was becoming depleted
