ST. LOUIS LINES NOW
THREATEN RATE WAR
Short Roads to Exposition City
Demand Concessions From
Chicago Lines.

"A rate war between the st. Paul Chi
cago and the st. Louis-Twin City lines
is Brewing, and before the middle of June
worlds fair visitors may be able to make
the trip to the exposition city for 50 or
less.
And the trouble lies in the action of
the st. Paul Chicago lines in making the
same rates to st. Louis via Chicago as
the direct lines make to that city
One of the direct st. Louis lines yes
terday served notice on the Chicago lines
that unless it is granted a differential of
IS 1t will cut the St. Louis tariff, and
that every time the Chicago lines meet
the reduction a further slash will be
made.
Officials of the Chicago line are inclined
TO take the threat as a bluff, but the
passenger man who made the threat says
tnat II the Chicago lines persist in max
ing the same rate to st. Louis by way OF
Chlcago as the direct routes the cut in
rates will come. The present rate to the
fair city either by way of Chicago or via
the direct lines is SIG.
The st. Louis lines contend as the trip
to st. Louis is 100 miles farther by way
OF chicago, the tariff should be at
least 80 greater than is charged by the
direct lines. On the other hand the Chi
cago lines say that they are right in MAX
ing the same rate of fare, claiming that
they are entitled to a portion of the fair
business.
The cut in rates is expected to come
When travel to the exposition CITY in
creases after the 1st of June. 1t is pre-
qlcted py passenger men that if the st.
Louis short lines make good their
threat and cut rates a fare of 81 for the
one way trip will be placed in force.

COMMISSION CALLS
PRESIDENT TRUESDALE
LackaWanna's Executive Is Heard In
Coal Inquiry.

NEW YORK. May 25-Contracts be-
tween the Guaranty Trust company of
New York, the Temple Iron company and
the six railroads included in the inquiry,
which are alleged to- secure the guaranty
company as trustee against loss by
bonding the railroads on a respective per-
centage based on their tonnage of coal
carried to tidewater from the Temple
IRON company's collieries, were produced
by e. c. Hebbard. secretary of the guar
anty company, today when the interstate
commerce commission continued its in
quiry into the methods of the coal carry
ing roads.
These contracts were produced by direc-
ton OF the commission following the ex-
animation of President Baer, of the Read
ing company. yesterday. The first wit
ness called by the commission today was
President Truesdale. of the LackaWanna
system, who had been directed by the
United States supreme court to answer
certain questions propounded to him at a
previous session last September.
Mr.. Truesdale said the price of Lacka-
wanna coal at tidewater was fixed by the
ofncers of the company under his general
direction. There was no agreement as
to price circulars, and the fact that prices
were uniform he explained by saying that
one company would follow the lead Of
another as a question of policy.

SELLS BOGUS TICKETS
TO THEATER PATRONS
Police Looking for Man Who Counter
feits Transportation.

The police are looking for swindler
who has been selling bogus theater
tickets to Grand opera house patrons
during the present week. The en-
ployes Of the theater have taken up a
number of tickets so cleVerly initiated
that only those familiar with the gen.
uine could detect the difference. The
tickets have been sold on the street to
persons from whom they have been
taken.
The man who has been operating the
game has offered the tickets to per-
sons saying that he had purchased
them with the intention of attending
the performance but finding at the
last moment that he could not do so
was willing to dispose of them at re-
duced prices.
The victims have given descriptions
of the man, and the police are search
ing for him. He has undoubtedly had
access to a well equipped printing
office, for the execution of the bogus
tickets is perfect, only a few minor
details distinguishing them from the
Grand tickets.

STATE GETS BACK PART
OF MERGER SUIT COSTS
Government Refunds $136.65 of Money
Deposited by Minnesota.

An echo of the famous merger" suit
of the state of Minnesota against the
Great Northern Railway company was
heard in the office of the state auditor
yesterday, when w. B. Douglas former
attorney general, filed with the audi
tor. a check for $136.65, signed by James
H. McKenna, clerk of the United
States supreme court. The explana
ton of the return of this amount to
the state treasury is that upon the ap-
peal by the state of the case from
Judge Lochren's court to the United
States supreme court the state was
compelled to deposit $3.50 to cover the
approximate costs to be incurred in
the supreme court, and the costs hav-
ing amounted to $8OS.35, the difference
was refunded by the federal authori-
ties and will pass to the credit of the
state.

RUSSIANS SEEK TO

ST. PETERSBURG, May 25.-Tbe
greatest precautions are being taken
to prevent the outbreak of epidemics
among the troops in Manchuria. Men
specially trained in disinfecting are
dispatched to all the big camps by the
Red Cross society, and according to
reports received the sanitary conditions
are fairly good. Some sporadic cases
OF typhus and smallpox were segre-
gated early. Apparently there is no
danger Of an epidemic
Letters received here from Lao
Yang say the conditions there are
much improved, dry weather prevailing
in April and early in May Hardin
was being cleaned up The conditions
in Korea, on the other hand, are de-
scribed as terrible and doubtless are
responsible for the sickness prevailing
in the Japanese army.
The Red Cross society has estab-
Hshed over 10000 beds in Manchuria
for the purposes of the war and has
divided the immense territory from the
Volga to Port Arthur and Vladivostok
into four districts, each in charge of a
superintendent, whose duty it is to
forward supplies and dispatch physi-
clans and nurses where they are need
ed. There are central establishments
at Irkutsk, Chita, Hardin, Mukden
and Lao Yang. Port Arthur and Via
divOstok have their own equipment.
In addition, hospital trains freighted
on barges are being fitted for the
transportation of the wounded and
sick by the Sungari and Amur rivers.
Much is expected Of the flying detach-
ment, each made up of a surgeon, four
medical students and eight men train
ed to apply the first aid to the wound
ed and operate under fire.
