THE SANTA FE
Railroads Auditor Says That This
Represents overehsraes, but the
State OF Kansas Looks on
II as Rebates
BY Associated Press,

BY Associated Press.
TOPEKA, Kan, March s.-During the
year ending June 30, 1902, the Atchisou,
Topeka e. Santa Fe railway company
paid back to shippers the sum of ST.
19S, ,S52. This fact was developed In tho
examination OF w. j. Healy auditor
for the Santa Fe, before the attorney
general, who Is taking depostions In
the case he has instituted to ascertain
whether or not the Santa Fe Is violat-
ing the antitrust law of Kansas. Mr..
Healey said that this amount consti-
tuted the total of overcharges made
for the year. 1t is the theory of the
state that these overcharges are in
reality rebates.
There was a clash today between the
attorneys for the Santa Fe and f. S.
Monnett over the introduction of the
Santa Fes books and records as evil
dence in the suit against the Santa Fe
for violation of the antitrust law.
In the examination of w. j. Healy.
auditor of freight receipts, Mr.. Monnett
made demand for the production of
certain tariff and classification sheets
in Mr.. Healy's department. Mr.. Healy
said it would take some time to get
them. Mr.. Dunlap of the Santa Fe
wanted two hours to determine wheth-
er they would produce the documents
wanted, intimating that they might
not do SO.
Mr.. Healy said it would take an ex-
press wagon to haul UP the wanted
sheets, which are stored at the Santa
Fe depot. The time consumed until
230 was in skirmish between coun-
sci for both sides, Mr.. Monett trying
to get the tariff sheets and the Santa
Fe's lawyers evading.
Mr. Healy was asked to have the
necessary records and vouchers in
court this afternoon, but on the advice
of Attorney General Dunlap refused to
permit the examination of these papers.
A conference of the Santa Fe officials
was held later to discuss this point,
but decision was not reached.
Mr.. Healy was also examined con-
corning his knowledge of the work
ings of the Transcontinental Freight
bureau, the Transmissouri Freight
bureau and the Western Trunk Line
committee, the three organizations that
are alleged to settle the questions of
freight rates in the western country.
Mr.. Healy denied that he knew any
thing concerning these organizations
or that he knew who were their Of
ficials
w. j. Black, general passenger agent
of the Santa Fe, explained the system
of interchangeable tickets and the re-
bates which go with them. A patron
pays $50 for a ticket calling for 1000
miles of transportation. If the patron
uses all the transportation within a
given time he gets a rebate of $40.
Mr.. Black will be examined again.

TRAINS RESUMED
ON THE SUBWAY

BY Associated Press
NEW YORK, March S.-A very de-
cided Improvement in the conditions
of traffic on the subway and elevated
roads marked the second day of the
strike of the employees of the INTERIOR
ough company. This was especially
time the evening rush hours came,
express service had been esta blished
and affairs had almost resumed their
normal aspect. On the elevated lines
service was more irregular but con-
tinued to improve, especially on the
Sixth avenue line. There was practi-
caly no disorder and only a few minor
accidents occurred during the day.
Officials of the Interborough company
expressed confidence that they had the
situation well in hand, that few
days would see full resumption of
service on all lines. Tonight the Off
cials announced that they had received
assurance of the intention of so per
as individuals and that 40 of the old
motormen had already been taken back
This was positively denied by President
Pepper of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Street and Electric Railway
employees who declared that he could
account for every one of the men who
had gone on strike and that there had
been no sign of dissatisfaction in the
ranks. At the downtown recruiting
office of the Interborough company
cepted for service, on the elevated road
and were sent to the yards at 147th
street.
The officials of the Amagamated AS
sociation of Electric and Street Rail-
way employees and the local officers of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers have sent a letter to Mayor Nc
Clellan in response to his suggestion
of yesterday, stating that they are will
ing to consider any proposition that
may bring about an amicable adjust
ment of the strike. The suggestion of
Mayor Mcclellan, which was sent to
both the Interborough company and the
striking employees, was that the ad-
justment of the trouble be entrusted
to him personally or to a disinterested
committee of citizens.
The executive committee of the In
terborough Rapid Transit company.
after an executive meeting today, an
nounced that letter had been sent
to Mayor Mcclellan in reply to the
mayors letter offering to act as arbi-
traitor. in which the executive commit
tee thanked the mayor for his Offer
but added that the company had moth
ing to arbitrate.
Another phase OF the situation de-
veloped this afternoon when Con-
troller Grout notified the Interborough
company that it must bear the ex-
pense of the strike in the subway, and
that the city would not suffer any
dimunition of it's rental,

IMPORTANT EVIDENCE IN THE
CHADWICK CASE
Testimony Shows That the oberlln
Bank Gave Her Certified Check
4 for $12,5oo Though She Had
Nothing on Deposit
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, March s.-The case of
the government against Mrs. Cassie l..
Chadwick was completed this after
noon. One witness for the defense, an
EXPERT accountant, was sworn, but an
atdjournment was taken until tomorrow
morning before he had given any tes-
timony.
g The entire afternoon session of the
court was taken up by the introduction
of evidence as to checks. deposit slips,
books of the bank and two letters
written by Mrs. Chadwick to Beckwith
and Spear.
The most important point made by
the state in the entire case was made
this morning, when District Attorney
Sullivan, after hard fight with the
attorneys for the defense. secured the
admission as evidence of two drafts
aggregating $4,000. issued by the Ober-
lin bank In favor of Mrs. Chadwick,
August "a, 1908. On this same date
Mrs. Chadwick obtained from the bank
certified check for $12,500, and Re
ceiver Lyon testified that there was
nothing on the books of the bank to
show that at the time of receiving the
drafts and the check Mrs. Chadwick
had cent of money in the bank or
was in any way entitled to credit.
Two letters written by Mrs. Chad
wick TO Beckwith and Spear were read
during the afternoon and afforded con-
siderable amusement to the court, The
letter first read was written jointly to
Beckwfth and Spear, and related to a
loan which Mrs Chadwick had secured
from w L. Fay of Elyria. o.
1t declared that the writer had given
a checkfto Fay, and when he came to
see them about it all they had to do
was to say that they had agreed to
extend her paper. 1t would not be
necessary for them to say anything
beyond this. The letter concluded:
"Ie said that you would be surprised
to see the check in his hands, so you
better be surprised. If you don't say
IT, you can look It,"
The second letter was written to
Spear alone. In 1t Mrs, Chadwick
asked him to certify check to be
given by her to Henry Wurst of
Elyria saying that she would get the
goods In the east to meet the check.
80 draw a check for $4,000, the let
ter said, "and l will sign It and pay
something Of great interest to US ALL"

CRISIS IN THE CAUCASUS
Russia Must Send Troops to Put Down
Revolution
nv Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
LONDON, March 9.-Anarchy and
open defiance of the authorities, ac-
cording to the Daily Mails correspond
ent at Batoum, is spreading in the
Western Caucasus. The situation is so
serious that an expeditionary force has
been modified to enter the disaffected
district of Georgia. 1t consists of seven
battalions of infantry six companies
of Cossacks and battery of artillery,
and is commanded by Gen. Alikenoff,
who is noted for his drastic methods.
The Georgians threaten that the first
shot will be the signal for revolu-
tion. Leading merchants and foreign
ers, including the British and American
consuls, are threatened with death if
they act In opposition to the revolu-
tionary committee.

stockholders to consider the financial
position under the new conditions.
A careful revision of the list of em-
ployes shows that the increase of wages
promised the strikers adds $490,000
yearly to the pay rolls, instead of
$S75,OOO, as originally estimated.
The city is generally quiet, largely
owing to the good impression created
by the appointment of the new gov
ernor general, M. Maxmovitch. Few
disturbances are now occurring, but
another policeman was killed last
night. A drunken infantryman this
afternoon discharged his rifle in a
crowded street ,and as result a man
and little girl fell severely wounded.

is bound to revive talk of peace,
though If Field Marshal Oyama has
failed to crush Gen. Kuropatkin, peace
is no more imperative now than 1t was
last month. Peace advocates point out
the departure of Vice Admiral Rojest-
vensky's squadron9 from Madagascar
for Jibutil simultaneously with the loss
OF Mukden, and intimate that perhaps
the movement of the fleet may have
been made in view of the latter event.
The movement, on the other hand, may
be in pursuance of plan for junction
between Rojestvensky and the rein
forcing squadron preparatory to giving
battle to Togos fleet. The peace move
ment admittedly has strong following
even in the ministry, but it cannot be
stated now whether the defeat at Muk-
den has been effective enough to turn
the scale. No decision can be taken at
least until the extent of the reverse is
known.
Liberals Welcome the Reverses
More effective still, however, is
the effect on the internal
affairs of Russia Defeat is not un-
welcome to the Liberals, who argue
that the graver the governments diff
fculties the greater the extent of re-
forms Which it may be forced to con-
cede. At the present crisis the pro-
ject of the reform rescript of March 3
has not been worked out, although 1t
has been the subject of much delibera-
tion. A commission is yet to be APP
pointed Whereas, yesterday the idea
was to have a purely consultive body,
meeting perhaps separately, according
to estates, the existing condition of
affairs may force the commission to
propose long steps toward a more in
fiuential body possessing the initiative
in legislation. The strange spectacle is
thus presented of men who claim to be
patriotic Russians rejoicing over the
defeat of their country on foreign bat
tlefields.
The revolutionsts probably will use
the result as a pretext to renew dem
onstrations against the war.
