RlGELoW NOW a BANKRUPT.
Former Milwaukee Bank Presiden,
Has No Cash on Hand.

Milwaukee, April 28.The latest
step in the career Of Frank q. Bigelow,
the former bank president, who de-
faulted in the sum Of about 81, 800, 900,
is the fling of a petition in involuntary
bankruptcy. The revised schedules
show q total liability on the part Of
Mr.. Bigelow Of ss,277,000. Of which
$1,976,000 is wholly or IN part secured.
The filing of the schedules revealed
the fact that Bigelow, who has been
looked upon ASA model Of business
sagacity, pursued decidedly loose meth
ods' in the transaction Of his, private
business. He was not positive Of the
names Of several of his creditors and
had no memoranda with which to re-
fresh his memory. 3

yust Discrimination in Railway
Rates.

All railroad men qualified to speak
on the subject in a responsible way
are likely to agree with President
Samuel Spencer of the Southern Rail-
way when he says: There is no divis-
ion of opinion as to the desirability OF
stopping all secret or unjustly dlscrim-
inatory devices and practices of what
soeyer character"
Mr.. Spencer, in speaking Of unjust
ly discriminatory rates and devices,
makes a distinction which is at once
apparent to common ems There may
be discrimination in freight rates
which is just, reasonable and impera-
lively required by the complex COM
mercial and geographical conditions
with which expert rate makers have
to deal. To abolish such open and
honest discrimination might paralyze
the industries of cities, States and
whole sections Of onr national terri
tory.
This distinction between just and
unjust discrimination is clearly recog-
nized in the conclusions OF the Inter
national Railway Congress, published
yesterday:
Tariffs should be based ON commercial
principles taking tata account the special
conditions which bear upon the commercial
value Of the services rendered. With the
reservation that rates shall be charged with
out arbitrary discriminati0n TO all shippers
alike under like conditions, the making Of
rites should as far as possible have al the
elasticity necessary to permit tne develop
iueuf Of the trafhc and 10 produce the great
est results to the public and to the rsil-
roads themselves"
The present proposal is, as Mr..
Walker ID. Hines of Louisville showed
in his remarkable testimony the other
day before the Senate committee at
Washington. to crystalline flexible and
Justly discriminatory rates into fixed
government rates which cannot be
changed except by the intervention OF
some government tribunal, and by this
very process TO increase 1.-THE tempta
ton to depart from the published rate
and the lawful rate in order to meet
some overpowering and urgent COM
nercial condition. New York Sun.

When the Garfield report on the
business methods of the packers APP
peared, after eight months investiga-
ton, it was severely criticised and
roundly denounced. After three
months Of publicity it is significant
that those who attempted to discredit
1t have failed to c%ontrovert the figures
contained IL tia. ex aIstivs document.
The public Is beginning to notice this
omission, and the feeling is rapidly
growing that the sensational charges
out of which the Beef Investigati ton
arose were without foundation. IL the
official statements OF the report are
susceptible Of contradiction, a good
many people are now asking why the
facts and figures are not furnished to
contradict them.
Inc truth seems TO be that most or
the charges contain unfounded sensa-
tional assertions. A fragrant example
OF this appeared In a recent article I'm
an Eastern magazine, TO the effect that
forty Iowa banks were forced to close
their doors In 1904 by the Beef
Trusts manipulation Of cattle prices"
Chief Clerk Cox, OF the banking de-
partment of the Iowa State Auditors
office. has tabulated the list OF banks
given in the magazine article and has
publicly denounced the statement as
utterly untrue. He gives separately
the reasons for each failure mentioned
and officially states that they have
been caused by unwise speculations
and by reckless banking methods. 1t
may be well to suspend Judgment up
on the packers until the charges
against them are proved. Adv.

although there are several ways of inn
proving this old affair. One Of the main
troubles with the old oop is that ii was
not always dry, a serious defect when one
considers how harmful dampness is to
young chicks. This may be prevented as
well as preventing the warping of the
