went directly to the station leaving
Thursday morning for the East.

A dispatch from Madison, Wis, says

ty of granting rebates. An investiga-

missioner has been recently concluded
This investigation is said to have re-
Vealed that the Lowry line has grant
ed extensive rebates to Minnesota and
Wisconsin shippers.
Commissioner Thomas refused to
state the aggregate amount Of the re-
bates granted or what sum was with
held from the gross earnings tax. He
intimates, however, that the amount
alleged to be due to the state of Wis
consin exceeds 100000.
Mr.. Thomas said that a detailed
statement of the commissions findings
had been forwarded to General Man
ager E. Pennington, of the 500 line.
Mr. Pennington has been requested to
make an explanation Of the alleged ir-
Irregularities.
The investigation. which resulted in
the supposed discovery of rebate grant
ing, has been in progress for the past
two months. The Wisconsin railroad
commissioner has had expert account

LITTLE FREIGHT is
CARRIED IN JAPAN
Receipts From Passenger Travel Sup
port Railroads.

Japan at the close of 1900 had 4.025
miles of railway open to traffic, 1,095
miles owned by the government and
1856 by private companies The out
lay for construction was 100000 on
the part of the government and $103,-
100000 by private companies. The
profits Of the railroads are, compare
lively speaking, low. The government
lines have been laid along the principal
thoroughfares in the interior and the
private lines have been constructed
where the largest percentage of re-
turns is assured.
On all of the lines of Japan the
number Of passengers. carried is larger
than the volume of freight, and the
greater part of receipts is from pas
Eenger business. This is entirely con-
trary to the experience in the United
States and Europe, where freight
yields the bulk of the earnings. The
excess of passenger earnings in Japan
Is not due to the enormous number of
passengers carried but to the compar-
alive scarcity of freight, the reason
for which is that connection between
land and sea traffic Is not satisfactory.
