DOINGS OF M. U. JOHNSON
THEY WILL FIGURE IN A CASE IN
THE CIRCUIT COURT.
Peck 81 williams, of Cincinnati, Sue
Several Parties-Mrs. Spratts Ale
gations-Other Court Cases.

a case that is likely to reveal much OF
the misdoings of Manson L. Johnson, OF
Anderson. formerly Democratic repre-
sentative in the Legisla ture from Marion
county, was begun yesterday in the Marion
Circuit Court. The suit was instituted for
the Peck & Williamson Heating and Ven
tilatng Company. of Cincinnati. by Harvey.
Pickens. COX K Mann, and Wayne school
township. Trustee Frank McCasling and
Moses Rosenthal. of Peru. are defendants.
The suit alleges that McCaslin gave an
order to Johnson to install heaters in the
Wayne township school, and that Johnson
did install them. Later he assigned the
account to the Peck & Williamson Com
pany. About the same time Johnson as
signed what purported to be the same or
der TO Rosenthal. There are also in ex-
istence one or two other orders. duplicates
of McCaslin's, which are in the hands of
other purchasers. Wayne township has not
yet paid for the heaters and is not resist
ing payment. but has declined to pay any
of the claimants until the courts decide
who is rightfully entitled to the money.
The complaint asks judgment for 500.
1t is understood that the Peck & William
son Company holds a large number OF
similar orders other townships which
were assigned to ii by Johnson, and that
many other cases will be instituted in the
courts of the State.

The Interstate-commerce Commission
Monday sent to the Senate its report in
compliance with resolution of the Senate
directing the committee to investigate and
report concerning differences between i'm
port and domestic rates from January to
July, 1902. The report indicates that dur
ing the six months in question the pub
lished rates from ports of entry to entry or
destinations on traffic imported through
north Atlantic ports were maintained
without exception and that the public rates
on domestic traffic from these ports also
had been observed during that period. 1t
was admitted, however, that departures
from published rates formerly were not in
frequent. Cement SALT iron ore and salt
cake are articles used to illustrate wide diff
ferences between the import and domestic
rates from ports of entry TO interior des-
tinations which nearly or fully equal or
exceed the amount of the customs duty.
Carbonate or potash, on which there is no
duty, takes a rate from north Atlantic ports
to Chicago 10 cents per hundred pounds less
on import than on domestic traffic, and
from one of the ports such difference Is
greater than the import rate. The commits
sion states that 1T has found it difficult to
compare the duties with the difference in
rate between import and domestic traffic
because the duties in a large majority of
cases are based wholly partly on value,
while the rates are based on weight, be-
cause the rates on each class into which
inland traffic is divided apply to great
many articles of diverse character and
widely different value, and because the
several commodity rates mentioned in the
tables cover a number of grades of the
same article on which varying duties are
imposed. Many variations were found be-
tween the description of an article in the
tariffs of the carriers and in the customs
laws.

ence.

PROTECTION OF employees
SOME OF THE FEATURES OF THE
NEW SAFETY APPLIANCE ACT.
Official Who Is Thoughtful of Passen-
gers Interests-Making Baltimore
a. Ohio a Low-Grade Line.

The amendment to the safety-appliance
act, which becomes effective on May /.
virtually requires all cars in a freight
train to have airholes coupled up and
brakes operated. There is a doubt among
some practical railroad officials to its
operations. In speaking of this gen.
eral superintendent said II have al
ways been a strong advocate of coupling
up and using every brake the train,
whether this means forty cars or eighty
cars. The chief criticism | make now
about railroads is the fact that they do not
provide proper facilities. for finding out
when the brakes are out of order and have
too much piston travel, leaking couplings,
etc. A majority of the roads have repair
yards piped and fitted with air, which is
all right for cars, but hundreds of cars
never get on the repair track, and this
leaves cars that never get attention until
they are made up in a train and the en-
gineers turn on the air. If they are out
of order they work as they may, and rail-
road trainmen wonder why the brakes are
not efficient" He says his railroad COM
pany has recently put in two test plants,
where freight trains are made up, special
men are employed to adjust the brakes and
test the fittings. The plan works well,
and the company will probably establish
three or four more like plants.

1t was announced that an indictment had
been returned by the grand jury against
two Christian Scientists of this city for
violation of the State law providing for
the licensing of physicians and surgeons.
This is a law framed by the various COM

as to exclude any other means of healing
being employed except that recognized and
used by these schools of medicine. great

nothing of Christian Science. The birth
