ground that they were more in the ma
ture of witness stand disclosures than
belonging to legitimate argument.
Prosecutor Hughes replied to the at
tack OF Welles' lawyer with taunts and
counter taunts. Mr.. Witten has no
case, therefore he has nothing to argue
about" he said
Thus the greater part of the argu-
ment Of the Welles case consisted of ac-
cusation and recrimination between
lawyers Assistant Prosecutor Whitsett
alone, of the four who addressed the
jury, confined himself to a discussion
of facts in evidence
The ticket brokers' defense. offered at
the morning session through himself as
witness was nothing more than a gen
eral denial of guilt He briefly explain
ed, however, that he had gotten the
bogus tickets from man whom he
never saw before had not seen since,
and whom he net by appointment in
front of M0rledge's. Referring to this
bit OF testimony in his argument, Prose
cutCr Hughes termed Welles' account
"a fishy story
The defendant on cross examination
swore that he paid nothing for the par
eel of tickets and that his original in
tentiOn was to turn them over to the
Santa F'e road He claims that he was
prevented from doing so by reason of
the fact that the police beat him to
it -
Mr.. Germaine and Mr. Colt. both of
the Santa Fe, were recalled to the stand
in rebuttal. They declared that Welles
had told them in confidence that he
paid $500 for the whole lot of tickets and
depot apparatus and that he knew that
they We're stolen property.

OPPOSE EIGHT HOUR RULE.
Union Men Want Right to Work 8
Hours a Day

New Haven, Conn, March 25.-Three
bodies of railroad men, representing
many thousands of employees on the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
system, were in session here yesterday
to discuss matters which are said TO be
in the nature of grievances growing
out of recent changes on the railroad.
The most important meeting was of
delegates from Is locals of car work
ers, and the subject was the present
time schedule. which gives the car
shop employees only eight hours day.
AT meetings of local unions held dur
ing the past fortnight expression has
been given in favor of a demand for
a nine hour day and a slight advance
in wages. The delegates came to-
gether to consider basis for de-
mand upon the Management of the
road for a new schedule in the shops
The local union of car workers dis
cussed the general subject of time and
wages in the local shops.

FREIGHT RATES RESTORED
Kansas City Rate Clerks and Grain
Men Hear a Rumor.

Kansas City. Mo, March 25.-The
only subject of discussion yesterday in
the local freight Offices of the rail-
roads was the rumor of the restoration
of the grain rates. which have gone all
to pieces since the slashing began,
January so. Telephones We're busy
with the talk of the restoration. and
grain men, -four dealers and others III
terested made the wires hot in asking
the different freight agents If the re-
ports We're true that the rates would
go back to their former basis. Local
freight men have not visited each 9TH
er's offices so much probably in a year
as they did yesterday in trying to YER
ify the reports.
The grain rate situation has grown
to be such a care on the freight man
that they are praying that the rates
have been restored. The many cuts
that have been made have caused
them no end of trouble in making new
rate sheets and keeping tab of the
changes. The grain men, too, it is
argued, will be glad if the rates go TO
a firm basis. for they like to know
just what they are going to be charged
for shipments, and under the condi-
tons that have existed for the past
two months, this was impossible until
the day of shipment. Such a condi-
ton helps no one and certainly dam
ages the market

ONLY A SUGGESTION.
But It Has Proven of Interest and
Value to Thousands.

Common sense would suggest that if
one wishes to become feshy and plump
it can only result from the food we eat
and digest and that food should be
albuminous or flesh forming food, like
eggs. beefsteak and cereals; in other
words the kinds Of food that make
flesh are the foods which form the
greater part of our daily bills of fare
But the trouble is that while we eat
enough and generally too much, the
stomach, from abuse and overwork,
does not properly digest and assimilate
il, which is the reason so many people
remain thin and under weight; the di-
gestive organs do not completely digest
the flesh forming beefsteak and eggs
and similar wholesome food

CHICAGO RAILROADS WORRIED
May Be Unable to Collect Excessive
Transfer Charges for Stock.

traffic officials are somewhat disturbed
over the decision of the interstate COM
merce commission to the effect that the
cattle shippers can recover damages for
excessive transfer charges in Chicago
According to the decision any charge
above 81 for switching the cars into the
stock yards is excessive, and the ship
pers can recover the excess charged
since 1894 when the commission decided
the matter. There are about 400, 600 cars
of live stock annually handled in and
out of Chicago, and if the shippers re-
cover the excess on all cars it would
mean a loss to the railroads of between
81, coo, 600 and $4,000. 600 The matter will
undoubtedly be taken into the courts
