Private freight cars as devices for
securing Determinations in rates are
vigorously dealt with by the commits
sion. Some of the evils attending the
use of such cars are thus described:
Il. Concessions are made to par
ticular shippers in refrigeration
charges which amount to the payment
of q rebate.
So. A practical monopoly has been
created in the use of private cars for
the movement of certain commodities,
especially fruit. which has enormously

previous maximum charge or $3.50,
which is ample compensation for the
service. Payment to the Illinois North
ern is payment to its owners, the Inter
national Harvester company, and the
present allowance results in a prefer
ence to the harvester company of $S.5
per car as against what other ship
pers would be obliged to pay. This
preference extends also to the traffic
of other industries on the line of the
Illinois Northern.
Another instance is that of the Chi
cago, Lake Shore and Eastern railway,
originally organized in the interests of
the Illinois Steel company; but the cap
ital stock of the latter COMPANY is now
owned entirely by the United States
Steel Corporation. This road, which is
used as a switching road for the Illinois
Steel company's traffic, receives for the
service ,percenta geS of rates to the east
and west which give it from Sc to $12
per car. The commission has found this
amount to be much in excess OF fair
compensation. This road also obtains
certain special divisions, an example of
which is 70 cents per ton on coke ship
ped from the Connellsville region. For
hauling a train load Of 1000 to 1900 tons
about seven miles this road receives $500
to 81 900, while the actual cjSt probably
does not exceed one-tenth of that sum.
The commission adds that these prac-
tices are extending in all directions, and
says that unless they are checked they
may become general.
"F'rom every point of view say the
commissioners, this matter may well
command the serious attention of con-
gress.''
During the year the number of train.
men killed in coupling accidents was 27S
and 3,441 were injured. Thirty-one per
cent of the freight cars equipped with
safety appliances according to law
were found defective, so that, after all,
trainmen were compelled to go between
the cars, and to this cause the commits

SHOT HIS BROTHER.
Man Becomes Insane at the Breakfast
Table.

New York, Dec. 23.-Becoming sud-
denly insane, while at the breakfast
table with his brother and their mother,
Abraham Chapkowsky today fired five
shots at his brother Louis, wounding
him probably fatally. The wounded
man is a well to do cloth importer of
Lispenard street. Immediately after the
shooting Abraham seemed to recover
his senses and dropping to his knees
besides his PROSTATE brother begged his
forgiveness.
The brothers were business partners
until four years ago, when Abraham $
wife died and he became insane. For
three years he was kept in an asylum
but a year ago the untiring efforts of
his brother Louis secured his release.
The latter was warned that Abraham
was possessed of homicidal tendencies,
but scoffed at the idea.
Last night was the anniversary of
Abrahams wife death. He became
moody and refused to sleep, so the
brothers sat up together all night. Soon
after they poined their aged mother at
the breakfast table, Abraham became
violent and furfously upbraided his
brother who finally tried to soothe him.
Suddenly the insane man drew a big
revolver and began to fire at first widely
| about the room. and then at Louis.

Fatal Fan Down the Stairs.

Wichita, Kas., Dec. 23.-F. G. Hoff-
man, a well known farmer residing at
CastIeton, plunged head first down the
stairway at the hotel of Joe Knoneceny
at Andale last night and died almost
instantly. Hoffman came to Andale
with two hogs which he sold. He
spent the balance of the day about
town spending his money, and late in
the afternoon went to the hotel. After
sitting in the office for some time he
asked to be shown to a room and he
was taken to the second floor. Shortly
after the accident happened.

sion attributes large per cent of the
deaths and injuries. Only 2 per cent of
the passenger cars were found improp-
erly equipped.
The recent appalling record of death
in railroad accidents is thus given:
Years ending June 80,
Employees injured ..........33,771 1872
Employees killed ..........-- 2,ol6 $3.50
Years ending June 80,
1902. 1903. 1904
Passengers killed 1900. 1903 3H 321
The commission says the number of
deaths in train accidents alone in 1904
increased "a per cent over 1903. due
to the fact that in 1904 there were ten
serious wrecks, eight of them COLI
sionS. The train accidents of the year
comprise 5000 collisions and 1000 de-
railmentS.
The commission renewS its recon-
mendation of universal adoption of the
block system to prevent collisions.
During the year ending June. 80,
1904, 100000 miles of railroad earned,
gross; $1,966, 100000 or $66,000,0O0
more than in 1903. The passenger
earnings were $539,000, 900; freight
earnings $1,377, 100000; miscellaneous
S49,OOO,OOO. The gross earnings per
mile of line were S9.410 in 1904. or
1852 higher than in 1903, and higher
than ever before. Operating expenses
were $1,332,000 900 or $6.375. per mile,
an increase of $3.50 over 1903. The
ratio of operating expenses to earnings
was 67.75 per cent against 66.16 per
cent in 1903.
