ONLY TWO WILL CUT TIME.
Competitors of Omaha and Milwaukee Not
to Change Schedules

to Change Schedules.
thus far the other Chicago lines have
not announced any action in response to
the initiative of the Milwaukee in reduco
ing the running time of one of its even
ing trains between this city and Chicago
from thlrteen to eleven and one-half
hours. But that the Omaha will at least
meet the schedule of the Milwaukee is
well assured. and the impression is cur
rent that still further cut in time may
be made by that line.
Officers of the Omaha said YESTERDAY
that a new schedule was being prepared
IN Chlcago, and would in all probability
,at ne announced lG. today They would not say
What changes in time were in contempla-
uon, but the inference to be drawn from
What they did say was that for the pres
ent the Omaha would merely meet the ac-
uon or the Milwaukee by establishing an
evening train to Chicago in eleven and
One-halt hours. but in case of any further
cutting of time by the Milwaukee the
Oflaha would proceed to make things live
None of the other roads have declared
any intention in the matter and in the
opinion OF railroad men there is but little
cholce LETT them, as the two lines men
tloned are the only ones that are in anv
position to cut the time below the former
unit OF twelve hours and fifty-five min
utes. and In attempting any cut in rates
tney would run afOul of the ElkinS law
10 an extent that would be embarrassing.
The mileage of the Milwaukee road be
tween st. Paul and Chicago is 410 miles
and the actual distance by the Omaha is
go miles,, althOugh 410 Is used as its
mileage, also from the fact that 402 miles
is the minimum limit arbitrarily fixed by
the agreement among the roads. The mile
age Of the Burlington is 442; of the Min
neapolIs & st. Louis and Illinois Central
route, 5OI; the Rock Island 523: the Wis
ern. 430 " N
The Omaha, with its double tracks and
good roadbed, is best situated for com
petition in running time and all things
considered. the Milwaukee is practically
on as good basis, but the Great West
ern, with line but little longer is SO
handicapped by its roadbed that the fast
time now contemplated is out of tie
question: The others are out of the COM
petition by reason of distance.
heretofore it waSe1eHstomary for the
long lines to meet any step toward re-
duction OF time on the past of the short
ones With reduction of rates, but the
enactment of the EllxinS law has reduced
the effectiveness of any such action to a
minimum; The law requires that all
roads shall file their tariffs with the inter
state commerce commission and strictly
adhere to them as filed. So stringent are
me teHms OF the new law upon this point
mat III case a deviation from tariff
charges can be shown the purchaser of
the ticket at the reduced rate NAV be
fined as well as the company selling it.
And as the penalty is heavy a conyic-
ton under this law will not be regarded
as a trivial matter. Therefore anV cut
ting of rates must be openly practiced. as
the reduced rates must be openly filed as
an adopted tariff, and in case of such
action on the part of one line it would
be promptly met by the Others

PEPPER is APPOINTED.
He viii Promote Intercontinental Railway
Plans.

WASHINGTON. d. c., March Sec
retary Hay, having been authorized by
the Pan American congress to appoint a
special representative to carry out The
recommendation of the conference held
in Mexico. that the United States take
the initiative in developing interconti,,
mental railway plans, has appointed
Charles NJ. Pepper as such representa-
tive.
Mr.. Pepper is an author and newspaper
writer. He a delegate from the
United States to the Pan-American con-
ference held in Mexico, and is now in
Cuba as special commissioner for the ST
Louis exposition. 1t is said that consid-
cradle progress already has been made
toward closing up the. gap of the inter-
continental route. and in many cases sur
veys made by the engineering commission
a few years ago are being followed.
Further, it is said that the amount of
railway construction under way in the
South American countries is not generally
understood in the United States. and
that the various governments are anxious
to show what is in progress, and what
encouragement will be given to the invest
ment of capital for this purpose. They
also want the development of commerce
which is following railway construction
made known.

CHARTER BILL FAVORED.
Committee of Manitoba Legislature Re-
Ports 1t Back.

Advices We're received from Winnipeg
yesterday to the effect that the bill to
grant charter to an American company
to build a system of short line railways
radiating from Winnipeg into the agri-
cultural district of Southern Manitoba had
been favorably reported back to the house
by the committee to which it was re-
ferred
This is regarded as a signal victory
for the American promoters of the prof.
ect. since the Canadian Pacific and Can
adian Northern have fought the bill from
the start in a most determined manner,
and have offered all manner of improve
ments and concession to public service as
inducements to secure the defeat of the
bill.
The Canadian Pacific, among other
things. promised to build a subway at the
north end of the city of Winnipeg, for
which there has long been a popular de-
mand. and a large hotel in the same To-
cality; and offered to replace the present
frame depot with a handsome structure of
stone and iron.
The Canadian Northern sought to kill
the charter bill by offering to build a
new depot in the south end of Winnipeg,
and in connection with it a handsome
hotel.
Popular sentiment in favor of granting
a charter to the American company was
very strong and the favorable. report OF
the committee is largely attributed to that
influence.

Supreme Court Decides First Case in
Which 1t Is Invoked.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 9.-The
United States supreme court today rem
dered it's first opinion in an interstate
commerce case in which the Elkins act
was dealt with. The case was tnat of
the Missouri Pacific VS.. The United
States, involving question CT discrimina-
tion on the part of the company's- rates
Between places. 1t was brought at the in
stance of the interstate commission, but
without any previous proceedings on the
part of the commission. The railroad filed
a demurrer to the BILL. challenging the
regularity of the proceeding, but the cir
cult court and the circuit court Of ap-
peals for the Eighth circuit. held the pro-
ceeding to be regular, and decided the
case in favor of the contention of the
United States. These decisions were re-
versed by today's opinion, which was de-
livered by Justice White He said tina
by the terms of the old law, under which
the case was tried, the procee ling would
not have been regular, but that under the
Elkins law it would be. The court there
fore reversed and sent back 1he case for
new trial under the Elkins act

PUBLIC BEGINS TO
FEEL EFFECT OF
ELKINS BILL
New Law Prohibiting Re
bates or Concessions Bids
Fair, With Its Stringent
Provisions, to Revolution
ize Business Methods Of
Both Departments of the
Railroads.

1t is doubtful if any act of congress
of recent years for the regulation Of
railroads has been so far-reaching in
its effect or has created such general
interest as the recently enacted ElklnS
law.
While this measure was in the early
stages of its legislative history it was
generally looked upon as merely af-
fecting railroads, and therefore at
tracted but little attention. But as it's
provisions were disclosed it became
more and more apparent that its scope
could take in all that portion of the
public who have dealings with railroads
and since its adoption that fact has
been forcibly brought home to many
shippers.
Now, although the effect of the law
is widely known in a general way, there
is still large proportion of the public
that is unfamiliar with its exact pro-
visions. 1t is not stating the condition
too strongly to say that the Elkins
law Will reVolutionize present methods
Of conducting transportation business
between railroads and shippers.
The vital points of the law are to
be found in the two extracts which fol-
low:
Stringent Provisions.
And it shall be unlawful for any
person, persons or corporation to Of
fer, grant or give, or solicit, accept or
receive any rebate, concession, or dis
elimination in the respect of the trans
portation of any property in interstate
or foreign commerce by any common
carrier subject to said act to regulate
commerce and the acts amendatory
thereto, whereby any such property
shall, by any device whatever, be
transported at a less rate than that
named i'll the tariff published and filed
by such carrier as is required by such
act TO regulate commerce and the acts
amendatory thereto, or whereby any
other advantage is given or discrim-
lnation is practiced. Every person or
corporation who shall offer, grant or
give or solicit, accept or receive any
such rebates, concession or discrim-
ination shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor and on conviction there
of shall be punished by a fine of not
less than $1,000 nor more than $20,-
600"
Whenever any carrier files with
the interstate commerce commission
or publishes a particular rate under
the provisions Of this act to regulate
commerce, or acts amendatory there
TO, or participates in any rate so filed
or published, that rate as against such
carrier, its officers or agents, in any
prosecution begun under this act, shall
be concluSively deemed to be the legal
rate, and departure from such rate. or
any offer to depart therefrom, shall be
deemed as an offense under this Sec
tiOn of this act"

CONTEST CATTLE RATES.
Complaint Against Fort Worth & Denver
BY Cattle RaIsers' Association.


WASHINGTON, D. c., March 9.-The
Cattle Raisers' association, of Texas, COM
plainant, and the Chicago live stock eX-
change, intervenor, has filed with the in
terstate commerce commission a petition
for the reopening of the case against the
Ft; Worth & Denver City and others in
volving the through rates on live stock
and terminal charges or 81 per car load
for delivering live stock at the stock yards
Of the Union Stock Yards & Transit COM
pany, of Chicago. The petition recites
that the commission already had held
that any charges in excess of 81 per car
load for terminal or switching service was
unlawful and tnen reciteS subsequent con-
test proceedings before the courts and
commission. The petition asks not only
the enforcement of the diScontinuance cf
terminal charges over 81 per car load,
but the continuation of the practice OF en-
forcing discriminating through rates for
the transportation of live stock from the
shipping points involved and the proper
reparation to the parties injured FOR the
alleged unlawful terminal charges and
through rates of freight on live stock to
the Chicago stock yards. The commits
sion has notified the various railroads in
terested to make answer within the pre-
scribed twenty days.
