FORGED RAILwAY,s cHECKs..
Merchants in Kansas City Southern
Town Defrauded.

Kansas City, Mo, Dec. 25--Large
numbers of fraudulent checks in imita-
ton of those issued by the Kansas City
Southern Railway company have been
paid in the last two days by merchants
and others in Joplin, Mo, and Pittsburg,
Kansas. Henry Visscher, treasurer Of
the Kansas City Southern, has notified
all banks and instructed agents of the
company to warn merchants in their
towns to examine Kansas City Southern
checks closely before paying them. Those
already paid and returned to the treas
urer in Kansas City amount to nearly
81 600 1t is Impossible. Mr.. Visscher
says to estimate how many of the worth
less checks have been paid.
The pay checks issued by the Kansas
City Southern railway are signed with
the fac smile signature of r. j. Nc
Carly. auditor of the road and by either
H Visscher, treasurer and paymaster,
checks are printed on pink safety" pa
per. The imitation checks are of
slighter deeper tint, but the paper is of
ordinary quality.
Il believe there is printer in the
gang that is doing this cork said Mr..
Visscher yesterday afternoon. The
work is excellently done. The type used
is almost identical with that used in our
checks, but Mr.. McCarty's name has
been written, forged, instead of being
printed in fac smile. This last fact at
tracted our attention. The men who are
floating this paper were working Friday
in Joplin and Pittsburg. They may go
south to Mena, and other towns in Ar
kansas, and they may come to Kansas
City. The banks are after them"

NOT 10 REDUCE GRAIN RATES.
Kansas Roads VIII Oppose Order
Made by Commission.

While no official statement will be
made by anyone in authority there is
reason to believe that the various rail-
roads operating in Kansas will refuse
to put in the per cent. reduction on
grain rates, as ordered to recently by
the railroad board, unless they are
According to the order issued by
the board the reduced rates should
be put in effect on January Is. If the
roads refuse to comply then the board
will file mandamus proceedings in the
supreme court against the roads to
compel than to comply with its order.
This wifi bring the reasonableness of
the new rates UP for determination
by the court and some more testi-
mony will have to be taken.
Railroad rate makers claim that
Carr Taylor, attorney for the board,
did not submit. any testimony at all
showing that the present rates were
unreasonable. But a member of the
railroad board has said that the tariff
sheets of the roads themselves con
tanned the evidence.

LEGISLATORS ARE wRATHY.
Those in Pennsylvania to RetaIiate for
Being Deprived of Passes.

Philadelphia, Dec. 25.-Reports are
pretty well founded that the Pennsyl-
vania railroad has offended the legisla-
tors Of this state by its decision to
abolish absolutely the issue of passes
after January 1. A special session has
been called for next month. When It
meets, it is stated, a bill will be intro
duced that viii make it a misdemeanor
for any road in the state to charge fare
for more than the actual mileage The
bill is aimed at the Pennsylvania, which
of late years has reduced materially its
mileage between Chicago and Pittsburg
and Pittsburg and Philadelphia and
Philadelphia and New York.
This mileage has been reduced ap-
proximately so miles since the present
basis of passenger tariffs was adopted.
The fare between Pittsburg and Phila-
delphia, based on 3 cents a mile for 354
miles, is S1O.62. The distance has been
reduced IS miles by the construction OF
cutoffs. the reduction of grades and
other improvements which would cut
the fare, calculated on the old basis, to
1924, but the reduction in mileage has
not been followed by any corresponding
lowering in fare. By therats like these
the legislators hope to be able to pre-
serve their free transportation priVi-
legeS.

WAR OVER FLOUR TRAFFIC.
Hill and Hartman Representatives
Fail to Reach Agreement.

Portland, Ore, Dec. 25.-The agree
ment dividing territor1aIly the ORR
entail flour trade between the large
trans-Pacific steamship companies
came to an end Saturday as a result
of the meeting of the representatives
of the different companies held here
for the purpose of inducing the Great
Northern Steamship company, con-
1roHcd by James J. Hill, to confine it
self to- Oregon and Washington. and
not to invade California. The confer
ence failed to induce the Great North
ern to reconsider its determination.
There is no doubt that the Hartman
lines will establish agencies in Port
land, Seattle and Tacoma, and that the
Boston steamship company, operating
the Nippon YUsen Kaisha lines, and
the Canadian Pacific will enter the
California field.
A. G. D. Kerren. general passenger
agent for the Pacific Mail Steamship
company and the Occident and ORR
entail Steamship company, said that
his lines would no longer hesitate to
go after the traffic in Oregon and
Washington.
