SUED FOR $4,000.
Santa Fe May Have to Pay for Death
of Elevator Man.


Wichita, Kan, April sO.-A. ]. Crow,
as administrators to the estate of Max
Teter, filed a suit in the district court
yesterday against the Santa Fe Rail-
way company for $4,000 damages. The
case arises from the death of Max
Teter, who was run over by a Santa
Fe freight train in this city on August
%, 1898.
The petition states that during the
month Of August, 1903. Max Teter was
employed by the J. G. Miltner Ele-
vator company. situated on the Santa.
Fe tracks between First and Second
streets. The plaintiff states that it
was the habit of the employees of the
elevator company to assist the railway
employees in stopping the cars that
were backed in for the purpose of be-
ing filed with grain at the elevator;
that the same was done with the knowl-
edge and consent of the railway COM
pany and was done as a matter of
convenience in having the cars stop
ped in the right place and avoiding the
delay in waiting for the switch en-
CINE to return when cars were pushed
up
On the day in question, the petition
states, Max Teter climbed to the top
of moving box car seventy-five feet
north of the elevator for the purpose
of setting the brakes. According to
the petition, Teter was in the act Of
setting the brakes when a switch en-
CINE showed two heavily loaded cars
onto the track from the north. and as
they were running at a high rate of
speed the force of the collision threw
Teter from the top of the car, and the
three cars passed over his body.

IT'S A DEAD LETTER.
Iowa Smashes the Anti-Pass Agree
ment for Live Stock Shippers.

The Iowa railroad commission has
forced the breaking of the agreement
of western railroad officials not to
give free return transportation to
shippers of live stock.
The members of the commission
Yesterday held a conference with the
leading traffic officials of the railroads
in that state. The commission pre-
scented the protests made to it by live
stock shippers against the agreement
of the railroads, not to give passes for
tn return trip. The shippers claimed
that their cattle were delayed in tran
sit and not properly cared for unless
persons accompanied the trains.
The railroads admitted that since
they stopped giving such return passes
they had received an unusually large
number of claims for loss and damage
due to delay in transportation and
lack Of care of cattle
Not until the commission intimated
that it might exert its power to order
big reductions in freight rates for live
stock did the railway officials decide
that ito facilitate the movement of
live stock from Iowa" they would give
free transportation to persons sent in
charge of live stock.
The railroads cannot give return
passes to Iowa shippers and refuse to
give them to shippers from other
states hence the anti-pass agreem ent
will be a dead letter hereafter.

I'VE expect to encounter some OBJ

it crosses the soft spot in the lake. We
are running freight trains over the
lake now and expect to begin pas
