CHEERS FOR ROOSEVELT.
Locomotive Firemen Loudly Applaud
Name of the President.

Name of the President.
BUFFALO, Sept. 15.-The public
meeting held last night in Convention
Hall by the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen of America, now in convention
in this city, wound up in demonstra-
ton for President Roosevelt. The hall
was filled.
Grand Master Hannahan of the
Brotherhood was just drawing his ad-
dress to a close and he had called at
tention to the fact that a New York
newspapers had criticized the Presi-
dent because he had accepted an hon
orary membership in the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen.
LET me say" said the grand master,
that if the President of the United
States or any other of its citizens does
nothing worse than accept membership
in this organization he will neither
merit the ill-will nor deserve the CEN
sure of any of his fellowmen.
IF the rest of the public and par
ticularly those who are entrusted with
the direction of our Government and
the management of the nations great
est enterprises would do as the Presi-
dent and meet US upon a common level
there would be fewer strikes and less
strife and more of peace and good will
in the industrial world"
What has the President done for
you?" shouted man.
The President" the grand master
replied, has proved to the organized
workingmen of this country that he
has an interest in their welfare by ac-
cepting an honorary membership in an
organization of men whose faces are
begrimed by smoke and dust and daily
and hourly face the gravest dangers"
An outburst Of cheering followed.
During the demonstration the men on
the stage sat silent.

EXPERTS TALK
ABOUT FREIGHT
Railroad Men Give Evidence
at Investigation Into the
Charges of Denver People

DENVER, Sept. 13.-Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Charles A. Prouty
to-day continued the investigation be-
gun yesterday of complaints of alleged
discrimination in freight rates by the
railroads against this city. Evidence
was submitted by local manufacturers
and merchants in support Of their con-
tention that rates on some commodities
from Atlantic Coast points are higher
to Denver than to San Francisco and
that Missouri River cities are granted
lower rates than Denver to interior
Colorado points.
The following officials were In at
tendance to-day:
William R. Kelly, general attorney
OF the Union Pacific; ]. A. Munroe,
freight tariff manager of the Union Pa
cific; ]. e. Kelby, assistant attorney Of
the Burlington, and d. o. Ives, general
freight agent of the Burlington, all
from Omaha; George H. Crosby, assist
ant general traffic manager of the Bur-
lington, and p. F. Dunno, attorney of
the Southern Pacific, San Francisco.
Attorney Dunno conducted the exam
ination OF witnesses.
Under examination Traffic Manager
Munroe of the Union Pacific explained
that Missouri River points were espe-
cially favored, because that section was
the great distributing point east and
west and the railroads must neces-
sarily make rate basis at those cities;
that Denver had a contributory terri
tory of 100 miles to the east. but that
lack of population kept the jobbers and
manufacturers here from selling all
their product.
',The Union Pacific Railroad cannot
afford and never has tried to build up
Missouri River points to the detriment
of points west" declared Munroe.
William Sproule of the Southern Pa
cific, William B. Biddle of the Santa Fe
and George H. Crosby of the Burling-
ton, freight experts, were questioned
regarding the reasons for the higher
rates to Denver than to Salt Lake and
other points west of this city 1t was
shown that while Denver paid 50 "a a.
hundred pounds on cotton piece goods
Salt Lake paid only 81, while shipments
to China were taken for 81 TO- The dis
crepancy was attributed by the rail-
road men to the need of ballast on
some roads and to the fact that others
operated ships, for which they required
cargoes.
