FREIGHT CAR SHORTAGE.

Railroad officials may be detected oc-
casionally in an effort at sharp practice
while dealing with the public, as indi-
Gated in an article elsewhere, but all
the charges trumped up against them
can not be sustained. For instance,
there is no doubt that some of the great
roads are suffering from lack of freight
cars and are not holding up" the pub
lie in this respect. The large orders
given for new cars in6. cate real short
age. .'The charge is frequently made
paid Thomas H. Babcock freight agent
of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroad. while in New York the other
day, that railroads hold cars out look
ing for higher freight rates, or some
other rubbish of that kind. The roads
want standard rates, and can make all
the money they want if they can get
their cars to handle the freight offered.
Take one case in mind, A week ago, on
the northern division of the Burlington,
over 500 cars were in demand for
freight, and only eighteen cars could be
found. The trouble in the west is main
ly that we can not get cars back from
The south We can take grain to Cnl-
rago and get the cars back. but When
we shin grain south the cars do not
come back readily. The congestion IN
Kansas City has been bad, with cars
blocked there. but this trouble rs dis
appearing. We are letting lots.of freight
go to carry coal. The other freight pays
better. but there is u demand for coal,
and we are handling all that Is offered.
THE coal famine is not so acute in the
west as 1t has been IN the east, but.
nevertheless. it has been felt. The fact
that grain is drifting to southern cities
nm account of better PRICES, rather than
10 the east. indicates that there should
he a revision OF rates. and undoubtedly
that matter will be taken up In time
and adjusted"
1t is entirely reasonable to believe that
with the opportunity TO make money at
rood rates, and with the pressure OF
patrons desiring cars. the railroad COM
NAMES are not in the business OF con-
resting freights or hiding cars.
Discussing this subject in recent is
nue. the st. Paul Pioneer Press says:
.'The car famine still continues. The
trunk lines are gorged with freight
which they can handle only slowly, and
great quantity which would be Of
fered IL there were any assurance of
delivery within a short period is held
back. The congestion of traffic is a
considerable handicap to business, but
It at least indicates that no one is suf-
kering. The losses caused are potential
rather than actual. The difficulty has
continued so long, however, that roads
which have been disinclined to go to
the expense of applying permanent
remedy for fear that the trade would
turn and leave them with idle capital
on their hands are said to be coming to
the conclusion THAT they can better af-
ford to run such a risk than to be UNI
prepared for the next wave of prosper

HOUSE BROKE
SENATE AHEAD
THE UPPER HOUSE HAS TO PAY
CONFERENCE Expenses.

The House and Senate journals are
nearing completion and the work Of
both houses will soon be completed.
The House has spent all it's appropria-
ton and will come out with noching in
the Treasury, while the Senate still has
considerable balance and will prob
ably have three or four hundred dollars
left when all is done.
The Senate has paid the House share
of conference committee expenses.
When the committee met it was under
stood that each House was to pay half
butt the Houses grafters got the money
too quickly and the House fund of $13,-
600 went short The Senate therefore
paid its own share and the House share
as well. House grafters calculated to
a nice point and there is nothing left.
In the senate fund there is about 30.
600 now, but most of it will be drawn
in the near future, to pay for work
now under way The balance that will
probably be unused will amount to
nearly $500 it is said.
George p. Thielan, stenographer Of
the House, is working on an index Of
the journal, which will be a very com
plicated affair. 1t will show actions
on all the bills, resolutions and reports
introduced during the session and will
make it easy to find any action on any
of the matters brought up.

A QUESTION OF
AUTHORITY
EMMA CLAUDINA SPRECKELS
WATSON'S SUIT AGAINST CLAUS
SPRECKELS.

A. S. Humphreys arrived in Judge De
Bolts court this morning apparently
just in time to prevent De Bolt from
throwing the Spreckels suit out #
court on the ground that Humphreys
and his associates had no authority to
bring the action as attorneys for Emma
Claudina SprecSels Watson As 1t
was, the former Judge agreed to bring
into court a letter from Mrs. watson,
FASTING paper over confidential portions
which instruct and authorize him to
proceed against Claus Spreckels.
Ballou. Mechanism and Derby APP
peared for Spreckels, and Robertson
and e. NJ. Watson for the plaintiff this
morning. Spreckels' attorneys contend
ed that they had a right to require
Humphreys and his associates to pro-
duce their authority to act as counsel
for the absent plaintiff. An affidavit
by Humphreys was filed. setting forth
that he had been regularly retained as
counsel for Mrs. Watson and that he
had a letter from her giving him full
authority to act in the matter: also
that he had since the beginning of the
action cabed for power of attorney
giving fuller powers and had received
a cabled answer stating that the docu-
ment had been mailed.
Il did that" said Humphreys. "be-
cause, knowing that the other side had
no case, | thought they might make
compromise proposition to settle for
within ten or fifteen thousand dollars
of the value of the property involved.
The question of the authority of
Robertson and Watson to appear was
raised by De Bolt, who didn't seem to
think that even if Humphreys had been
retained, he could delegate his powers
as attorney to others Authorities
were quoted by Derby to show that I'M
der Hawaiian decisions an attorney
could be compelled to show his au-
thority to act for a supposed client and
Derby said that Humphreys should be
required to show his authority more
definitely than by an affidavit alleging
authorization. The court remarked
that the authorized counsel if there
was one, might employ subordinates,
but could not delegate any authority as
attorney, and Robertson and Watson
remarked that they would be subordi-
mates in that event
Humphreys said on arriving that he
had only received notice from the other
side that his letter from Mrs Watson
was wanted at ten minutes to ten, and
it had prevented his attending the
memorial services in honor of the
Pope. Humphreys said he would re-
fuse to show the letter in question be-
cause it contained statements which
were confidential from his client He
was willing to show the cable answer
ing Yes" to his inquiry as to whether
the power of attorney had beeu cabled
Derby proposed that the letter be
produced in court, with paper pasted
over those portions which We're conf
dental, allowing the court to see the
portions giving Humphreys authority
and the latter agreed to produce the
letter in this condition this afternoon

NEW sCHEME FOR CARNEGIE.

People in Paris who are interested in
giving working girls a bit of pleasure
now and then have devised a scheme
where worthy girls are given two
tickets to a good theater once in a
while. The scheme calls for an Ella
borate system of registration, but it
is working TO perfection. The kaiser
is thinking of introducing the idea into
the royal theaters in Germany, and
the Parisians want Andrew Carnegie
to introduce it into this country, as
they claim that it would do more good
than libraries.
