SANTA FE REBATE SCANDAL.
All the Evidence TO BE Sent TO the Attor-
nc,-Gcneral Next week.

WAsHINGToN. Jan. 1.-THE Santa Fe
Railroad scandal will be placed squarely
before the Attorney General next week
when the Interstate Commerce Commission
will forward to the Department Of Justice
an abstract of all the evidence which the
commission has collected in the case. The
Commissioners not only have large amount
OF material pertinent 10 the recent inquiry,
but they ara absolutely convinced that the
Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad
fagrantly violated the Interstate Commerce
law on many occasions. The main interest
in the case from a Washington standpoint
concerns its effect upon the status of Paul
Morton, Secretary of the Navy, who adj
mitted granting illegal rebates when an
officer Of the railroad company.
The testimony in the case all tends to-
ward the same conclusion. that the officers
and agents of the railroad company. delib-
erately and with the knowledge that they
were violating the law. granted freight re-
bates to favored shippers. No details in
regard to the conclusions of the commission
have been made public. and II was said at
the Department Of Justice to-day that the
much talked Of case was not yet before
the Department.

NOW IN DOUBT
HIGH RAILROAD OFFICIALS DO
NOT BELIEVE FRISCO RUMOR.
Other Railroads Are Again Sus-
pcctcd Of Having the Ten
nesscc Central.

Washington, ID. c., April IS
Prominent officials of Eastern lines
said today that they doubted the re-
puted negotiations for the sale OF
the Tennessee Central TO the Frisco
system.
While they do not question the
anxiety of Tennessee Central Off
cials to sell out, they were 10th to
believe that the Frisco was in the
market to get hold OF the property
for the reason that the road Is cut
on from any connection with a Fris-
co line. IL is claimed that Messrs.
Yoakum and Davidson of the Frisco
met the president of the Tennessee
Central in New York and accepted
the later's invitation to look over
the property.
The opinion here Is that either the
Southern or the Illinois Central will
eventually acquire possession of the
Baxter line.

HARD TIME
WITH THE STRIKERS IN CHICA-
GO NOW.
Mayor Dunno Announces That He
Has Abandoned Hope of Set
Ting 1t.

Chicago, April Exasperating
difficulties were experienced at ev-
cry turn by the wagon of Montgom-
cry Ward & Co., whose teamsters
and garment workers are on strike.
At the Michigan Central freight
houses in South Water street the po-
lice who escorted the Ward caravans
met with stubborn opposition on the
part OF the teamsters in sympathy
with the strikers. The awkward
teamsters loaded or unloaded their
wagons with provoking slowness and
told the police, 1--WE are not pieces
of machinery"
Many of the teamsters ia the street
leading to the freight houses insist
ed that they had been waiting for
two hours, and when the police made
way for the Ward wagons TO be
loaded earlier than other wagons
there was a loud complaint from
each teamster. Members of the
freight handlers union gave instruc-
tions that unless the police ceased
to give the Ward wagons the right
to unload before teamsters who had
been waiting ahead strike among
the freight handlers would be order
ed.
The crowd at the West Side ware
house of Ward & Co.. was so un-
yielding that when string of the
firms wagons reached the place the
police were forced TO use clubs to
make passage way. w. A. Rich
mond of Plymouth, Ind, a spectator,
ran toward a saloon when he saw the
police charge the crowd. His hand
was caught in door and badly
crushed.
After conference held in his of
flee late yesterday afternoon with
representatives of the teamsters' un-
ion, Mayor Dunno announced that he
practically had given up hopes OF
settling the strike.

SUDDEN CRY OF FIRE
CAUSED STAMPEDE
Four Newsboys Had Their Lives
Crushed Out.
Went 20 Tbeater to Obtain Free
Tickets When the Panic Was
Prccipitated.
THIRTY OR MORE INJURED

Indianapolis. April 1S.-Frenzied
by false alarm of fire, several hum
dred eager newsboys, struggling to
obtain their share of free tickets to s
local theater. which were being dis
tributed by a travelling representa-
tive of n patent medicine company,
stampeded in a narrow stairway in
Masonic temple last night, crushing
the life out of four boys, and It Is
believed, fatally injuring several 9TH
ers. About thirty boys were injured.
Among the dead are:
ED MORRISSY, aged ~.
LOUIS SCHEIGERT, aged IS.
CARL LAUREL, aged 13.
I. HOMER WILLIAMSON. aged IL.
IL is alleged by witness that one
of the boys, in endeayoring to has
ten the exit of those who had receiv-
cd their passes, shouted: Fire"
Immediately those at the top faced
about and with almost superhuman
strength began to force their way to
the bottom of the stairs. Shrieks and
physical encounters followed for
few seconds when from some cause,
those near the top fell headlong upon
the struggling mass at the bottom.
Four boys we're dead when extri-
Gated from their position at the bot
tom of the stairs.
With the aid of at least 80 police,
doctors, lodge members and other
rescuers, it required fully three
quarters of an hour to remove the
lads to conveyances which carried
them home or to the hospitals.
After the injured had been taken
from the scene and the crowd had
left the sidewalk, the sight presented
by the stairway and walk in front
of the door and in the upper hallway
was grewsome in the extreme. Blood
trickled down the steps and frag-
ments of clothing and flesh were
strewn here and there.
The catastrophe evidently had lit
tie effect on about four hundred of
the "newses'' who, instead of re-
turning home to relieve the minds of
anxious parents, went to the theater.

The decision referred to was in the
case of the First National bank of
Covington, represented by Edwin f.
Trabue, of Louisville. and Shelter ID,
Rouse. of Coyington, against the City
of Covington. to prevent the city from
assessing Il for back taxes. The
banks made three claims. as follows;
That its contract with the state UNI
der the Hewitt law provided for the
payment of taxes on the shares of
the bank at the rave of rs per cent
and the payment of taxes on its un-
divided surplus and real estate at the
same rate; that the assessment of
national banks was discrimination
against them; that no permission II
given under federal law for the as
sessment of back taxes.
The case was argued by Messrs,
Trabue and Rouse for the banks and
City Attorney Hanlon aud Judge
James Hazelrigg for the city of Cow
ington last January, While the at
torneys have not received the opin-
ion OF the court, they are OF the opin-
ion that national banks are again un-
provided for in the scheme of taxa
ton.
The Hewitt law was passed In
1856 and was considered repealed by
the adoption OF the new constitution
In 1899, which provided for fran
chise taxation. This was set aside
BY the United States court, and an act
passed In March, 1890, providing for
the taxation of national banks and
also for assessing back taxes. This
is the act declared unconstitutional
by the supreme court today,
