Croker Was Helpless.

Passengers on the train took par
tcular notice when young Croker was
assisted INTO a chair car at the Union
station in Kansas City, by a young
negro, because the white man was help
less as If from liquor. The negro as
sisted Croker into d seat and then
gave him a. purse containing a rail-
road ticket and $40, counting the money
out to Croker
The passengers heard Croker say:
Now I want you TO send me the rest
of it"
The negro asked Croker to write his
address. but Croker refused. and finally
the negro wrote while Croker dictated.

HE TOUCHED A FRIEND
While Acting in the Capacity of His
 Guardian Angel.

John Keeny may live to rue the day John Collins met his father In the state of Colorado, for the acquaintance may indirectly be the result of Keeny jr. serving a long sentence In the county jail. The only real fault that can be laid at the parents door, how ever, is that he brought such a child into the world. Collins and Keeny ST. worked together in the mines near Kokomo and it was Collins who was near the later when he died from the result of injuries he had received in @ mine accident. That was many years ago.
 Last week Keeay jr. drifted into Phoenix to be on hand for the territo- rial fair and possibly to work as a vendor of fruits and candies, for it is such work he follows. In a Washing ton street saloon he met Collins who recognized him by his great resem- blance to his father. Collins was driuking and Keeny was a good hand at helping him spend his money. They both had rooms at the Star lodging house and Keeny so it was claimed at the trial yesterday, often helped Collins to retire after he became help less from his carousing.
 Friday afternoon was the las; occa- sion Collins needed help and Keeny was on hand to aid him. The police claim that while Keeny was busy tucking Collins into his bed with one hand. with the other he was tucking three ten dollar bills into his own pocket which he had taken from a pocket in Collins vest. The court evidently took the view the police did for Keeny was found guilty.
 During the trial Keeny showed more or less familiarity with court proceed ings and in an intelligent manner questioned the witnesses that were put on the stand. He himself swore he had never been arrested before but had worked the most of his life in the west, the last five months at Cananea. When he was arrested none of the money thought to have been stolen was found on his person.
 1t was proved. however. that he changed q ten dollar bill in saloon and he could not give good account Of how he came by the money. A partner of Keeny's named Bob Ken nedy is under arrest by the city au- thorities on a charge or vagrancy.
 Two other cases were disposed of by Judge Johnston. Leonidas Robles pald fine of $7 and Eulogia Bracamonte paid a fine of s. Both were guilty of bre1 king the peace.

WANT THE MONEY BACK
HOUSE COMMITTEE ON TRAIL OF
THE PRINTING FIRM THAT
FURNISHED HIaH-PRIcED SUP
PLIES.

The legislative expense committee Of
the house is going to endeavor to pry
a ST. Paul printing concern loose from
the surplus profits it enjoyed on the
legislative supplies furnished the legis-
lature at the opening of the session.
The bills have been paid, and there
is no way for the house to get any part
Of the money back except by threaten
ing an investigation and exposure of
the extortionate prices charged. The
preliminary outfit of stationery and
supplies was bought, as usual, thru the
secretary of states office, from this
same firm, without competitive bids.
The firm charged what it pleased. and
the bill was audited without question.
Now it is claimed that double prices
were paid for pens, pencils, inkwells,
fountain pens, stationery and other
articles.
Chairman Gandrud Of the Legislative
expense committee will call a meeting
of the committee in few days, and it
is thought likely that to avoid .ventila
tion of the matter the firm supplying
the articles will turn back a few hun
dred dollars into the state treasury. In
any event, legislation will be proposed
to prevent repetition Of the occur
renee by requiring sealed bids hereafter
| and compelling the contract for the sup
| plies to be let to the lowest bidder.

PRIVATE CARS
THEIR PIRATIOAL METHODS EX-
POSED TO LEGISLATURE.
Joint Rate Hearing Develops Sensation:
al Testimony Against the Armour
Lines They Get Rebates on competi-
tors Shipments as Well as Their Own
Discrimination in Favor Of Beef.

e. N. Ferguson of Dulut, president Of
the Minnesota Shippers association,
fayed the private car system, especial
ly that Of the Armour company, before
the joint house and senate rate investi-
eating committee yesterday, afternoon.
pany, acting, in the dual capacity Of car
rier and shipper, can never honestly

rates for the forced use of Armour cars,
amount to granting the Armours re-
bates not only on their own shipments
but upon all shipments made by their
competitors. .-..:...:......... - 80 1.
Before the contract of 1902 with the
Pere Marquette, shippers were paying
about $40 a. car. for refrigerating, but
since the compact an advance of $35 a
private car lines could not" live under
free and. open. competition. There is
no public demand for them, shippers do
not want them, and never use them ex-
cept when there is no other alterna tive.
The first advantage to Armour is the
mileage, said to be three-fourths Of a
cent a. mile; second, the exclusive priv
charge for scientifc refrigerating;
third, the right of routing taken from
the shipper and the initial line desig;
mating over what connecting line ship:
ments shall travel. Car line packing
house products, he said, should pay a
higher rate than fresh fruit, but in or:
der to aid the "infant beef industry, .
a commodity classification was arranged
as follows: -. -.
Chicago to Duluth, Ats miles; fruit, A.
cents; beef, % cents.
Kansas City to Duluth, 500 miles; fruit
So cents; beef, 40 cents.
| Omaha to Duluth, 504 miles; fruit, Al
| cents; beef, IS cents. " . =
Sioux City to Duluth, 1872 miles; fruit
As cents; beef. IS cents. ai-=.. .<..,.
Cedar Rapids to. Duluth, 400 miles

Thus he showed an advantage taker
by the private car lines for their owl
products of from % to 81 per cent
against independent shippers.
