ARMOUR CAR REBATES
sEcREr CODE OF THE COMPANY

Former stenographer Of the Armours
Explains Cipher Methods-Immense
Profits on Icing.
Chicago, May 13.-Sensational testi-
mony as to an alleged secret code used
by the Armour car lines in making re-
bates was given yesterday before the
Interstate Commerce Commission here
by II. Streyckmans, formerly en-
ployed by Armour & Co. as stenog
rapher. WitLess read from a book
some of the code words and their
meaning as follows:
"Laughsome-Rebate. Launch-Bet
ter arrange rebate there. Launching
Can make rebate. Laura-Handle
rebate matters very carefully. Lavada
Pay rebate from cash on hand. La
veallo-Rebate must be confidential.
Woodpath-Interstate Commerce Com
mission"
Here there was ripple of laughter
among the shippers present. The In
terstate Commerce Commissioners
smiled. Mr. Streyckmans continued:
"Woodprint-Avoid service of cum
mons from Interstate Commerce Com
mission"
The laughter grew more audible.
"Footnote-Meet Interstate Com
merce Commission. Imprinted-Jud-
son c. Clements of Georgia. Imprint
ings-J. c. Yeomans. Imprison-
Charles A. Prouty. Improbitas-J. w.
Fffer. Improbity-A r. Moseley."
When the code words standing for
the names of the Interstate Commerce
commissioners were read. laughter and
handclapping among the shippers
caused chairman to rap for order.
To questions regarding prices had
by various railroads for icing cars, Mr..
Streyckmans replied:
1.-THE Northwestern billed ice at 81
ton. That furnished by the Chicago.
Milwaukee & ST. Paul was billed at
$3.50, with a rebate of 81 being
granted on counter claim. In the
case of the Erie it was $1.25. This
gave large profits to the Armour
lines"
Showing what he claimed to be dis
elimination among shippers. Streyck-
mans declared that former Lieut.. Gov.
Aldon Anderson of California paid
fifty-five per cent. of the tariff rate on
his shipments.
among those who received more
than at fifty per cent. rebate" said the
witness, were Frank Fl. Buck of San
Francisco, the Earl Fruit Company.
the Porter Bros. Company. the Pro-
ducers' Fruit Company and others.
Those who paid and received less than
fifty per cent. rebate were Stephens
& Humphreys, S. r. Roper, Schnadel
Bros, George d. Kellogg and others"
He said the net cost of ice to the
Armour car line on the New York Cen
tral was 81 ton, on the West Shore
road $3.50 ton, on the Baltimore e
Ohio $3.50 a ton. on the Pennsylvania
lines 81 and $3.50 a ton. Streyckmans
declared that the profits to the Ar
mour lines on the icings ran as high as
500 to 600 per cent.
THE profits per car on shipments
from California to New York" said the
witness. were on an average OF
$S6.50." =.

St. Petersburg. May Is. 1890 a. M
The widely-heralded May day demon

places. but up to midnight no reports
of serious tumults or loss of life have

AN IMMENSE WINDMILL.
Largest Windmill in the World Near
San Francisco.

The largest windmill in the United
States. II, indeed, not the largest in the
whole world. has recently been con-
structed near San Francisco. This gi-
gantic mill is located directly on the
ocean beach, near the famous Sea,
rocks. 1t is used for pumping water
up into Golden Gate park.
The huge, strong wooden tower sup
porting the wind arms rises $50 feet.
1t is forty feet square at the base. very
securely anchored and gradually ta-
pers upward. assuming a round shape.
There are four immense wooden arms,
or vanes. Each arm measures eighty
feet from the center or hub-thus MAX
ing a diameter of 100 feet in describing
the circle. The wind vanes are six
feet wide and extend nearly the en-
tire length of the huge arm, thus af-
fording the greatest possible amount
of wing space for catching the air.
This windmill is located upon a
prominent elevation. SO that II may
catch every available wind arising in
that section.

charge that she had murdered her pro-

by a crowd of 1000 persons as she left
the prison. Her release was made at
the instance of District Attorney Jer-
ome, who said he did not believe an
other trial would result other than in
disagreement.
At the same time he declared that
there had been serious miscarriage
of Justice. He said many of the news
papers had labored to create sympathy
for the girl. and that this case had
caused one more step toward trial by
newspapers rather than trial by jury"

English Motor Vehicles.

Motor vehicles for carrying or haul
ing heavy loads are now so much used
in England that their operation is
closely guarded by government super
vision. United States Consul Mahin
at Nottingham has made a repor- on
the subject. "Hitherto." says he. the
legal weight limit of an empty motor
car has been three tons. Now ii is
raised to five, with an increase. in the
legal joint weight tunladen) of a mo-
tor car and trailer from four 10 six
tons. Heretofore there has been no
legal weight limit to the Dad on a
motor car. but the new regulations aim
TO prevent excessive loading The TO-
tai weight of car and load is limited
to twelve tons. The weight borne ON
any axle shall not exceed eight tons"
