WEIGHTS ON CARLOADS
ARE TO BE INCREASED
TranscOntinental Bureau Takes Steps
to Anticipate Possibility of a Con-
gestion of Freight This Year.

The local representatives of the
various overland routes yesterday re-
ceived notice from r. II. Countiss,
agent of the Transeontinental Freight
Bureau, announcing an increase in the
minimum carload weights of east
bound commodities of from 5000 to
10000 pounds, or an average of about
33 1-3 per cent. The increase will go
into effect. July l and will affect fifty
odd commodities, the more important
of which in California are picked
cherries; dried, smoked or salted fish;
nuts and copper matte. The increase in
weights of carload lots is move in
the direction of meeting the great de-
mand for cars at this particular time
of the year and to avoid a car famine.
The original proposition was to raise
the weights on dried fruit and canned
goods, but the unanimous protest
made by the shippers of those COM
modfties prompted the bureau to re-
scfnd the order and raise the weight
on nearly every other commodity in
the eastbound tariff. BY this increase
the railroad companies effect a saving
of one-third of their cars to meet the
rush during the busy season.

the assertion is made that the earn
ings of the company are large enough
to justify a much bigger dividend
rate Since 1894 the gross earnings
of the Michigan Central have increas-
ed from 12,5S4,000 to more than
$22, 100000 but the dividend rate has
remained unchanged.
These minority bondholders allege
that the earnings of the Michigan
Central are being illegally diverted,
and that the road is operated entirely
in the interest of the New York Cen
trail. This, they say, is being done
not only to swell the earnings of the
latter road, but to force them to sell
out their holdings to the Vanderbilt
interests at a lower price than the
stock is worth.

ing a 75-horse power racing car, has
made new track records at the Empire
City track from one mile to II miles in
a 20-mile trial against time On his thir-

onds, four-ffths of a second better than
the previous amateur record of 5S 2-5
made by Frank G. Garbutt last month in
Los Angeles. Cookers time for the II
miles was II minutes and 81 is seconds
His best mile was the eleventh, made in
Sc rs seconds, which is the worlds anna
teur record for a mile.
Next to Croker's drive the most interest
ing event OF the day was the FIVE mile
cup race in which Frank Kulick sent the
twenty horse power against Alfred
Vanderbilts thirty-horse power car and
w Gould Brokaw's sixty-horse power
racer Kulick won and made new records
for two and three miles, minute 81 sec

FEAR .'FREEZING OUT"
Stockholders of Michigan Central Pre-
pare to Sue n. u. Central.

Chicago, Nov. 9.-Preliminary steps
have been taken by the Michigan Cen
trail stockholders to bring suit against

pany for an accounting. The minority
asserts that dividends are being with
held with the object of freezing them
out. The Michigan Central is con-
trolled by the New York Central

bly, more than a majority of the cap
ital stock.
Of the s1s,7SS,0o0 Michigan Central
