sTIcKNEY BLAMES PACKERS
Says They Force Railroads to Take
Freight Business at Reduced
Rates.

CHICAGO, Sept. 25.-"The packers fix the
rate" declared A. B. Stiokney, president
of the Chicago Great Western Railroad
company, testifying for the defense before
the Interstate Commerce commission to-
day regarding freight rates on live stock
and live stock products from the Missouri
river to Chicago. In answer 20 a question
as to how the charges were made President
Suckney replied:
I'm fixing the rate of dressed meat we
do not have very much to say. The
packer generally makes the rate. He comes
to you and always makes you feel that he
is your friend. Then he asks you how
much you charge for certain shipments of
dressed meats. The published tariff may be
% cents per 100. but he will not pay
that You say to him. L will carry your
meat for is cents. He says: oh, no,
you won't. 1 won't pay that Then you
say; Well, what will you pay for it?'
He then replies I can get 1t for 16
cents. So you haul It for 16 cents per
100. He generally tells you that II you
want the business you must haul the meat
for the price he names"
President stickney denied that his road
had paid any claims for damages or re-
bates since the Grosscup Injunction.

Embe11Ied Funds.

CHICAGO Sept. 25--Oberlin NJ Carter,

who was released from the Leavenworth

nection with civil suits filed In the United
States circuit court against Carter and some
Of his relatives for the recovery of the
property. The entire case has been re-
ferred to Special Master wyman TO take
testimony and report.
Carter has aged considerably, but he with
stood a rigid cross-exa1nination in an ap-
parently fearless manner. During today $
examination an effort was made to show
that previous to the real conspiracy Ben
jamin Green and John F. Gaynor the con-
tractors alleged to have been implicated
with Carter in defrauding the government,
had loaned Carter money and placed him in
a position so that when he was made en-
gineer in charge and had the letting of
contracts they might have a claim upon
him.
Carter declared that he never borrowed
money from Green or Gaynor but that he
had written them concerning his invest
ments so that they could also invest. The
examination will be taken up again tomor-
row.
