son C. Clements of Georgia Imprint
ings-J. c. Yeomans. Imprison-
Charles A. Prouty. Improbitas-J. w.
Fffer. lmprobity-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:
THE Northwestern billed ice at 81
a 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 SIPS. This
gave large profits to the Armour
lines"
Showing what he claimed to be dis
elimination among shippers, Streyck-
mans declared tnat former Lieut.. GOV.
Aldon Anderson of California paid
fifty-five per cent. of the tariff rate on
his shipments.
Among those who received moro
than at fifty per cent. rebate, said the
witness, were Frank H. Buck of San
Francisco. the Earl Fruit Company.
he 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 &
Ohio $3.50 ton, on the Pennsylvania
ltIes 81 and $3.50 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."

President Reaches Home.

Washington, May 13.-President
Roosevelt reached home at midnight
Thursday night from his Western trip
which he regards as one of the most
enjoyable journeys he has taken since
he has been President. He travelled
6.006 miles and passed through twelve
states and three MISUNDERSTANDING
PENNSYLVANIA, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana,
Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Indian Ter
ritory. Texas. Oklahoma, New Mexico,
Colorado, Nebraska and Iowa.
Every state and territory In the
United States except Florida anu Ar
kansas have been visited by Mr. Roose-
welt since he became President, and it
is his intention to accept the hospital
ity of these states before his term Is
finished 1t is probable that he will
make a tour of the South some time
before The convening of Congress in
the fall.
The demonstrations at every point
where the President spoke are said by
the official members of the party to
have been the heartiest that have been
accorded him on any trip.

LAKE GEORGE CUTOFF
DENVER & CRIPPLE CREEK LINE
New Route Planned by Colorado &
southern-From Platte Canon to
Great Gold Camp.

Denver. May 15-The News this
morning says: Cripple Creek is to be
within two hours OF Denver, instead
of five. as at present the distance to
be reduced from 131 miles to less than
ninety. This is what the Lake George
cutoff Of the Colorado & Southern will
do toward bringing the principal
points of Colorado closer together
Four years ago the proposed cutoff
was surveyed. and it was the intention
to build it then. The change in the
ownership of number of the Colo
RADIO railroads changed this, however
and the plan was practically given
up, although it was realized that 1t
would be of untold benefit not only to
the great gold camp, but to Denver as
we'll
Now that the Colorado & Southern
has perfected all of its plans for be-
coming a great continental system
this cut in both the running distance
and the time will be put into effect as
soon as the new road can be built
The cutoff will probably begin at
Dome Rock, on the Leadville branch
of the Colorado & Southern. Dome
Rock is thirty-two miles from Denver.
and from there cutoff of forty-two
miles will be run straight across the
country. meeting the Colorado Midland
road at Lake George. From there it
is about ten miles into Cripple Creek.
This is not the only extension
planned by the Colorado & Southern
AS foretold in the News. the intention
IS to make it a transcontinental line,
reaching from the Atlantic to the Pa
citic. 1t is to carry out these plans
and to look the ground over that Presi
dent B. l.. Winchell Of the Rock
Island, who is also interested in the
Colorado & Southern, will arrive in
Denver to-day or tomorrow with a
party of railroad men. In the party
is w. H. Moore of Moore Bros, who
control the Rock Island; d. G. Reid
chairman Of the executive board; Sec
ond Vice President Nudge and Third
Vice President Biddle.
