GETS MUCH MONEY
Chicago swlndIer Secures $500
From Railroad Laborers Who
Seek Employment.

CHICAGO. Nov 2S.-Detectives of the
Western Passenger association have un-
earthed a fraud perpetrated ON about $50
laboring men, Several days ago a man
giving the name of Robert Williams ad-
vertised for railroad laborers, promising
wages of 81 day for 1000 or more men.
A detective of the Western Passenger
association went to the Dearborn hotel,
on State street, where Williams was
stopping, and represented himself as
railroad laborer. Williams promised him
a steady job at 81 day working on the
new Mofatt line from Denver to Ogden.
and transportation from Chicago to Dem
yer for $3.50, the regular rate being
$29. so.
-'Win you give me ticket now from
Chicago to Denver for 81. 50?" asked the
detective.
NO but will give you receipt for
the 81 so and agree to deliver a ticket to
you at the depot
well, might as well pay you then at
the depot" said the detective
IF you don't make the deposit now of
81 so / can't promise you job said
Williams.
We'll I'll meet you at the train before
II o'clock and pay you for a ticket said
the detective.
Denver left Chicago at 10 o'clock and
went there before that hour and waited
until II o'clock. During the hour over
$50 laboring men appeared there, waiting
for Williams. He did not come. Inquiry
at the Dearborn hotel developed the. fact
that several hours before Williams had
paid his bill and taken train for New
York. 1t is estimated that his scheme
netted $500.

The Northern Pacific Beneficial asso-
citation will erect new hospital In Ia
coma, and the site for the building has
been selected.
For the past two years the project of
establishing another hospital located on
the coast has been discussed. The ques-
ton was brought up at the annual meet
ing held in st. Paul In June. and at that
time a committee was appointed to go over
the matter thoroughly and make re-
port at the annual meeting held this year.
Fearing the price of land would be
raised the committee worked quietly and
secured options on several sites, but in
the recommendations sent to st. Paul
a piece OF ground located near Mckinley
park. in the new addition of Tacoma, was
favorably looked upon.
The matter rested for some time, an
til General Manager Cooper and other Of
hclals looked the ground over last week
The site so highly spoken of by the COM
mittee was satisfactory, and telegram
was at once sent to st. Paul to take up
the option.
The structure to be erected will cost
100000, and provisions will be made for
its enlargement whenever such a step
may be deemed necessary. Brick and
stone will be the materials used in the
substructure, and the building will be
finished with the latest sanitary appli-
ances. There will be fifty rooms In the
building at the start.
In the new hospital patients will be
treated from all points on the road west
Of Spokane.

GREAT NORTHERN ASKS
FOR LOWER RATES
Wants Chicago Lines to Cut Eastern
Canada Tariffs.


CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.-A meeting Of the
Chicago st. Paul lines. at which the
Great Northern was represented, was held
here to consider a proposition of the
Great Northern to meet the second class
rates now in effect from Eastern Canada
to points in Western Canada by way of
the all-Canadian routes by the lines by
way of Chicago.
Owing to their higher rates, the lines
by way of Chicago have been unable to
get any of that business The Great
Northern has just made close connection
with the Canada Northern, which enables
1t to make as good time to Western Cana
da points in connection with the Chi
cago-St. Paul lines as by the direct Cana
dian lines
NO definite action was taken owing to
the fear that it would lead to rate war
with the Canadian lines, it being deemed
advisable first to have a conference with
the canadian lines and see if an amicable
adjustment of the matter cannot be
made.

VAR GROWS BITTER
Fight Between Cassatt- Gould
interests Promises Great
Developments.

The Cassatt- Gould controversy is as.
Stunning more bitter aspect than ever,
and it is said the Pennsylvania is again
resorting to a system of reprisal which
is almost as radical as that which was
directed against the Gould interests in
the war Waged on the Western Union
Telegraph company.
President Cassatt has been arranging
his forces in New York for some time
and it is said Mr.. Gould has been equal
ly active in lining up his defense. Gould
is determined to bring his railroad sys-
tenn into New York and Philadelphia
within the next two years and with the
Rockefeller interests giving him support
1t is expected that he will succeed.
The Wabash is pushing steadily east
ward and is being encouraged by the city
Of Philadelphia. Within sixty days it is
expected it will have a line of steamships
operating between New Orleans and the
Quaker City, and it is calculated that
after Jan. l the new Wabash system will
be earning $20 600, 900 year. 1t is already
well known that the Wabash has begun
its battle against the New York Central
for control of the West Shore, and mas
much as it is backed by certain directors
on the board of the New York Central
it is probable it will succeed in this
particular endeavor.
Railroad men who have investigated the
news to the effect that a new road is be-
ing surveyed between Pittsburg and New
York believe the project will end with the
survey. 1t is thought the report of the
building of the new road is simply another
move on the part of Mr.. Gould to fool
President Cassatt.
Cheaper to Buy Than Build.
1t is pointed out that there are roads
to be bought and 1t is always cheaper
to buy them than to build new line.
1t is reported the Gould Rockefeller in
terests were heavy buyers of Pennsyl-
yania stock in the recent decline. The
fact remains, however, that the Pennsyl-
vania Is in position to enter into long
and hard battle.
