.C.G.W READY FOR
LOTUS CHARGES.
AN OFFICIAL OF THE ROAD DIS
CUssEss THEM.
He Says: Probably Mr.. LOTUS Has
&, Got Hold Of Something; Possibly He
Is Guessing - Railroads, He De-
clares, Are Forced to Grant Rebates
They Don't Want to. @

The Chicago Great Western officials
promise to have something to say to
the railway commission it the LOTUS
charges OF discrimination and rebates
are pressed. 1t was said today that
they would outline the difference be-
tween simple switching charge and
charge levied for switching, the use
of trackage and the privilege of hold
ing materials in loaded cars on side
track, for varying periods.
They will also tell the commission
that the company with which Mr.. LOT
tus is connected does not own the
ground upon which its elevator stands,
that the property belongs to the Great
Western and that Mr.. LOTUS enjoys
free use Of it and related convenlences.
The position Of the company was ex-
planned today by one Of its officials, who
ssI have no doubt there is something
in the LOTUS charges. Probably Mr..
LOTUS has got hold of something. Posi-
bly, he is guessing at some OF the things
he thinks he knows. -.
ern and Northern Pacific rebates on
grain business moving between the twin
haps he is right. 1t looks strange to
me, however, that the Great Northern,
or Northern Pacific either, would pay
rebates where it is not necessary. They
control the situation. They understand
into tn o corner. They eye don n t have to sub
nit to the club Why should they pay
rebates on business they will get any
way? Kill II. s.s.z.- = ...-@. ..
HThis rebate business has two sides.
Railways do not rebate because they
think it is fun. In almost every in
stance I ever knew, the rebate was
given because the railway was forced
into a hole and could not help it. With
rebate or losing the business. .
81 can understand how rebates may
exist in strongly competitive territory
where there is a fight for every ton
Of freight that moves. A dollar looks
just as good to the railway as it does
to the shipper 3.E

DOG A VICTIM OF
A LARGER BRUTE
HEARTLEss CRUELTY TO A LIT
TILE SCOTCH TERRIER.
Rubber Bands Snapped About It's Foot
Had Worn Them Away to the Bone
Leg Amputated at Rooms of the
Humane Society This Morning by
= DR.. T. F. Quinby.

. . i.
The discovery Of a sheartless piece OF
cruelty. causing torture SO Intense that
it can hardly be imagined, resulted in
the amputation of, thesfoot of "a little
Scotch terrier in the rooms of the HUI
name society this morning.
!. The surgeon was Dr.. t. f. Qulnby
and the operation was performed with
out the aid of anesthetics. The dumb
little sufferer submitted to the knife
without a whimper, and when the cut
ting was; over, gave a rueful look at
his manned leg and then licked the sur
geon s hand A gentle wag Of the tail
told as plainly as possible that the sub
iect of this peculiar clinic understood
and appreciated what had been done for
him.
Small rubber bands had been bound
tightly about the dogs leg and left
there, probably for days, until they had
worn their way clear to the bone; The
suffering the dog endured while this
horrible torture was in progress must
have been fearful. &
DR.. Quinby noticed the little sufferer
ON Sixth gtreef bs ~h ana Vas mpRne
and something about. his disconsolate
appearance attracted the physician 5
sympathy. He stopped. the car, got
out and went back. He noticed the
dogs foot was sore, but could not de:
termine the cause. 1t was not until
after the examination at the Humane
society rooms that the devilish nature
of the trick was discovered. 49,. -, (

Much speculation has been aroused

Great Northern tracks to Tenth avenue.
Apparently options are not being
taken by railroad representatives, yet
it has been suggested that some such
plan as was pursued by the 500 line
below Washington is to be followed,
giving connecting lines more trackage
and freighthouse room.
When purchases were made. on the
river side of Washington avenue at
Fourth avenue N, the Burlington road
refused to sell a strip running thru the.
block. AS it has a similar strip from
Third street to Washington, it is ru-
mored that this company, which would

Northern and the Northern Pacific, is

: Necessarily, the carrying out Of this
plan would require a request from the
city council to vacate certain streets

buildings or their transformance into

which trackage would be valuable
addition. An. engineering problem
