Interstate Commerce Law Convention

Interstate Commerce Law Convention
Chicago, Oct. 26.-Stirring action was
promised for the session of the Inter-
state Commerce Law Convention, which
opened this morning ia Steinway Hall,
attended by several hundred members
who propose to strengthen the position
of President Roosevelt in the regulation
of railway rates. Before the delegates
had breakfasted there was an active
campaign inaugursted to keep out what
was termed the Railroad lobby" whose
representatives, it was charged, are
making desperate efforts to mullify and
break the force of whatever resolutions
may be adopted. 1t was declared that
the plan of these railroad representatives
was to confuse the issue before the con-
vention, the endorsement of Roose-
yelts rate policy and the raising of a
fund for support Of an aggressive lobby
in Washington this winter.
The convention was called to order by
S. H. Cowan, of Fort Worth. Texas,
acting chairman of the executive COM
mittee, in place of E. B. Bacon, of Mil
waukee, chairman, who is unable to at
tend on accouont of illness. The per-
-sonnel of the convention will repre-
sent the hundred organizations from
every State and territory in the union,
with representation on the basis of one
delegate for every hundred members.
Shortly after the hour for the con-
vention of the regulars, seventy-6ve
members of the "revolutionists walked
into the snte-room of the regular con-
yention, where delegates were signing
pledges before qualifying as delegates.
They were head by f. G.. Kiese OF the
Weber Club, Ogden, Utah, Kiesel APP
pointed the secretary and demanded adj
mission. He was asked: "Are you in
accord with the call of this convention
Are you a railroad man %
Instead of replying Kiesel turned to the
crowd at his heels, aud in loud voice
proclaimed "Let us repudiate this con-
vention. 1t is wrong. Don't sign that
pledge" Followed by his associates
from the rump convention Kiesel left the
room. The pledge signed by delegates
who are not railroad men, bound them to
support rate legislation as outlined by
Roosevelt.
When the pro-railroad men left the
all, they gathered at the Autorium An
mex, and proceeded to hold trump"
convention.

ANOTHER Illustration of the truth of
the adage, ode gustibus," &C., comes
from Orient, L. l., where a fourteen
year-old girl rejected the advances of a
sixteen. year-old youth and married the
father Of her admirer, who is forty years
old and has but one leg. He is wild
over with four children. The wOuld-be
benedict is so mad that his father cut
him out aud that he has a stepmother
instead of sweetheart, that he has left
his home and is now weighing sugar in
a grocery store. He has a sister fifteen
years old, and she has announced that
she will leave home if her papa brings
there a mama year younger than she
is. The school trustees at Orient are
great on compulsory education, and
maybe the bride will have to go to school
until she is sixteen.

Trolley Cars Collide.

New York, Oct. 26. More than
twenty persons were injured more or less
seriously in collision of trolley cars on
the new Williamsburg bridge, early to-
day. Traffic was delayed for some time
and excitement attending the rescue OF
the passengers from the damaged cars
necessitated the calling out of the police
reserves. Shortly after seven O'Clock.
when all cars coming toward Manhattan
were crowded, big truck broke down
on the car tracks causing the cars i'm
mediateIy behind it to come to stop.
Car No. 2,757, of the Eighth street line,
was among the latter, and was crashed
into by car number 458, of the same
line. The impact was so great as to
smash the rear platform OF 2,767, and
the front platform of 458, and to throw
the occupants of the crowded cars forci-
bly, to the floor and against the ends and
sides OF the cars. Women shrieked and
men cursed, while few of the later, en-
dowed with cOoluess at critical times,
kicked out the windows of the cars aud
dragged out the shrieking and tainting
women passengers. The accident hap
pened just as the advance throng from
Brooklyn and Williamsburg were bound
for their work in Manhattan, and as a
consequence thousands we're delayed in
reaching their places Of employment
owing to the tie-up of all cars. The
floor of car 458 was almost completely
torn from the other parts of the car by
the force with which it struck car 1851.
The latter was also badly wrecked.

OAKLAND. Cal. Aug. 9.-In a
year or two Samuel Edmoston, the
colored janitor of the Kuhn block in
this city, will probably be able to put
up at the Waldorf-Astoria or the st.
Regis, smoke big regalia cigars and
drive good horses or even automo-
biles
Before him looms the possibility of
acquiring legacy Of about $4,000.
For five years Edmoston was en-
ployed by Vice President Charles w.
Fairbanks, and the latter is his friend
who stands ready to help him.
The fortune, a part of which Ed
moston alleges belongs to him. was
made by his uncle, Newton-or News,
as he was caled-Edmoston, in
Springfield, Mo. AT the close of the
civil war Newt Edmoston was
middle-aged slave, who had saved
some money. On being given his
freedom he set himself up as shoe
maker at Springfield, Mo. AS the
years went by Nevis fortune grew
and as his roll grew he bought up
nice corner lots in the center of the
town and made more money Wheh
he died, about year ago. the old man
left an estate which his nephew est1-
mates Is worth about 100000. and
includes a solid block in the business
portion of Springfield.
Although Samuel Edmoston was
born in Springfield, he grew up in
Champagne, Mo. When he left the
employ of the man who is now vice
president of the United States he.
came west, and arrived in San Diego
In 1887.
AS to the Inheritance. Uncle Newt
left, besides this nephew half
brother and half-sister of Samuel
Edmoston as heirs to his fortune.
The half-brother is Alva S1nford,
prominent colored attorney of Phila-
delphia. The halfsister is Miss Mary
Sanford, who lives in Pierce city, Mo.
When Samuel Edmoston came west
communication with his relatives
stopped, and they believed that lie
was dead. When the uncle died an adj
yer+isement was put in an African
religious paper, inquiring as TO MS
whereabouts. Time passed and moth
ing was heard from him. on July
Is the estate was to be presented to
the administrator, and after the
necessary business of TRANSITIONAL had
been concluded, there would have
been no chance for other heirs to
contest.
Shortly before July Is. Edmoston
accidentally noticed the advertise
ment in the paper concerning him.
He Immediately notified his attorneys,
and administration proceedings were
stopped.
The first of the present week Ed
