Responsive to Missionary.
About noon a man from the Municipal
Lodging House called to see them, He
had read the stories Of their alleged
misdeeds and thought there was a
chance for reformation. When he went
to the screen door OF their room they
looked q him and began to make mar

their ears to indicate that they couldn't
hear.
The visitor took card from his pocket
and gave it to the younger woman. On
the card was the inscription, He that
repenteth shall be saved"
The woman read this dropped the
card. threw her Joined hands over her
head, and rolled her eyes toward the
ceiling. She made several sounds which
were Interpreted by the missionary as

Nothing Important Found.
The room which was occupied by the
women at the home of Mrs. Wall, 1913

detectives yesterday. Some papers Of no
importance and an old trunk and some
clothing was all that was found.
Mrs. Wall said that the women paid
their rent while they were at her house
and that she saw nothing in their con-
duct which would indicate that their
character was not irreproachable.

New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, March "A proposition
sent out by the Western Trunk line
committee, and said to emanate from
the Northwest railway, seeks a
settlement Of the grain rate war.
The details of the proposal, were
not made public yesterday. but it is
known that all the roads involved.
including the Great Western, are con-
sidering the document and that
meeting probably will be called to dis
cuss it.
1t is understood that the proffered
settlement is on the basis of fixed diff
ferentials thru the various gateways.
If accepted, the rates on grain from
points west Of the Missouri river to the
eastern seaboard will be so adjusted
that there will be fixed arbitrary
thru Chicago above the rates thru the
gulf ports, an established arbitrary
above the rates to the Mississippi
river, and on the rates thru Peoria a
fixed arbitrary below the rates thru
Chicago.
The proposed settlement also fixes a
differential Of cents instead of S
cents in favor Of st. Louis over Chica-
go. This will be satisfactory to the
grain interests here. The basis of set
Element bears out the North Western
contention that it has not been fight
| ing the Great Westerns proportional
rates from Omaha, but has been con-
tending for fixed arbitraries as out
lined. If such appears to be the case
it is not unlikely that the Great West
ern will accept the offer.

TALKED TO LEGISLATURE
Railroad and Stock Men Have Lively
Debate.

New York Sun Special Service.
Des Moines, Iowa, March 2.-Gen.
eral managers and superintendent Of
the leading railways Of the central
west appeared before the legislature
yesterday afternoon to oppose the
Delano stock shippers bill, and at the
same time 500 delegates to the Corn
Belt Meat Producers convention ap-
peared on the scene and engaged them
in a running debate, to the edihcation
and entertainment Of the legislature.
Among the railroad men were Gen.
eral Manager Gardner Of the North
Western, General Manager De1ano OF
the Burlington, Superintendent Bailey
of the Illinois Central, Superintendent
Goddell of the Great Western and
General Manager Williams Of the Mil
| waukee. Dan Sheehan of Usage and
| j. J. Ryan of Fort Dodge, leaders OF
| the livestock men, charged the rail-
way officials with having entered into
an agreement to transport live stock
at a given rate Of speed much slower
than was formerly the rule, and with
having conspired to withhold return
passes to stock shippers, thereby max
ing an average of SIS on each car Of
stock, something like 100000 a month
to the railways, without having made
a corresponding decrease in the freight
rates. The Delano bill is to compel
all roads to transport stock at twenty
miles an hour or better, and to issue
passes both going and coming.
