fully the ruin in the wake of a tornado
ne does not wonder much at the feeling
Of fear with which so many persons
regard the approach of even an ordin-
airy thunderstorm. But while the loss
OF life from lightning is large, the dan
ger is undoubtedly exaggerated in the
popular mind. According to statistics
collected by the weather bureau for
the years 1890 to 1898. inclusive. only
312 persons in the United States. about
four to every 100000. on the average
lose their lives each year in this man

UNION PACIFIC GETS BLAME

Official with Origin Of Allowances

SPREADS FROM THIS TO OTHER CITIES

The hearing before the Interstate Com
merce Commission at st. Louis this week
in the complaint on elevator allowances
given by the western grain carrying roads
70 the alleged detriment Of St. Louis grain
business, brought out some interesting tes-
timony bearing on the growth Of the
grain market at Omaha. According to the
published reports, all OF St. Louis griev-
ances are charged up to Omaha.
The origin of the allowances, point
which was not made clear before, was
brought out and the blame placed on the
Union Pacific by James G Lincoln. general
freight agent of the Missouri Pacific, who
was the principal witness. Mr.. Lincoln
began his testimony with the statement
that the road he represented divided It's
elevator allowances into three heads. First,
an allowance for elevation, transfer, stor-
age, insurance and releasing OF equipment;
second, allowance on reshipment to secure
such reshipment: third, allowance on trans
fer from car to car. which was given for
the sole purpose OF securing weight and
inspection, II being necessary under the
present method OF doing business to have
a Kansas City certificate of inspection and
weight In almost all cases. This allowance
was seldom given in any other place than
Kansas City, as business conditions did not
make It necessary.
Omaha daily bee., 1905-07-27
Reason for FaIlinE ON.

The reason for the falling OF in the St
Louis grain trade, in great part, in Mr..
Halls opinion, is the differential between
the rates to gulf and Atlantic ports. For
merly, he pointed out, the shipper west OF
the Missouri river was afforded better
rates to the Atlantic ports and that con-
sequently the grain came through the St.
Louis gateway. Now, however, connecting
lines having been built and the southwest
ern service perfected, the short haul was
to the gulf and the g. ain sought a market
in that direction.
Chairman Knarp asked II he meant 70
say that st. L ais was precluded from
trade because of its location. Mr.. Hall re-
piled;
mot at all, st. Louis can still be a fac
tor in the grain trade and an important
one II this elevator allowance can be re-
moved. for the southeast is open and II
we can 90 into Kansas and Nebraska and
buy the grain we can find a market for
It, But under the present conditions we
cannot get grain by bidding against Kan
sas City and Omaha, and the fact that the
grain is going TO the gulf is merely an
other factor in the st. Louis condition.
Again. this grain which comes via sur-
lington and CentTalia south would find a
shorter mileage II it came by st. Louis,
and the fact that 1t does not come by ST
Louis under that condition can only be at
tributed to the elevator allowance It gets
at Burlington and New Orleans. I know
cases where grain got an allowance OF "
cents the hundredweight at Omaha, / cent
1t Burlington and cents at New Orleans. -
Omaha daily bee., 1905-07-27

Mr.. Lincoln included Kansas City,
Omaha. Leavenworth, Atchison, Coffey-
vile Little Rock and New Orleans as the
points at which elevator allowances were
made.
THE evil had its inception at Omaha"
said Mr.. Lincoln, when the Union Pa
cihc found itself with a terminus there and
much grain destined for points eastward.
It was necessary to have its cars released.
and the road hit upon this device as the
best method for hurrying the consignee.
From Omaha It spread to every city where
competitive conditions made 1t necessary,
and 1t will continue to spread unless it is
checked"
s. q. Knight. general freight agent of
the Wabash railroad, was the next wit
ness called.
He stated that the points at which his
road made elevator allowances were Chi
cago and Toledo, y cent bushel; Detroit,
81 car, and IN cents the 100 pounds at
Kansas City and Omaha on receipt He
quickly admitted that grain buyer from
st. Louis could not possibly buy in Kansas
and Nebraska in competition with a dealer
from a Missouri river point where
the allowance was made, and added that
this was severe discrimination against st
Louis. The Wabash, Mr. Knight said. did
not make elevator allowances at st. Louis
because competition did not force IT, He
was in favor OF abolishing the allowance
but could offer no method for so doing
and said that he knew of no substitute
Marshall Hall, a member of the Mer
chants exchange, who was formerly con-
nected with the Burlington elevator here
said that for short time that elevator
was given an allowance of y cent the hun
dred pounds but that he was of the opin-
ion that the abolition of the allowance
system. while benehting st. Louis. would
not prove a cure.
