MURPHY, CUTTHROAT,
BELONGS IN JAIL

By statements of well-informed per-
sons. Fred w. Murphy, the American
now occupying a cell in a Central Amer
lean prison, Is about where he ought
to be-
Murphy is not at Managua, Nicaragua
as has been reported. but at Dalni,
Honduras. He has been tried convict
ed, and sentenced to a term in prison
for two murders.
United States Consul Chester Donald
son, stationed at Managua. who is now
in Washington, IS entirely familiar with
the facts in the case. He narrated them
this morning in effect as follows:
The man was employed by the COM
pany, with which William S. Albers
was connected, but through his reputa-
ton was dismissed. He left Managua
for Dalni. and on the way killed his
native guide.
AT Dalni d sergeant of police, with a
detail, tried TO arrest Murphy. The
American drew a revolver and shot the
sergeant dead in his tracks The sol
diers overpowered Murphy and carried
him to jail.
The Nicaraguan authorities, accord
ing TO Mr.. Donaldson, have tried to
draw Murphy and his record into the
Albers controversy, but Albers is said
TO know nothing of Murphy, further
than that he dismissed the man from
the company's employ.

out news of the Cabinet meetings there
after, several members of the Cabinet
were decidedly critical in a quiet way.

members are too taIsative," said one
member Of the Cabinet This is a char

monopoly" he added
Another Cabinet member in discuss
Ing the letter, said that nearly all his
associates think news of Cabinet meet

out of ten Such matters as relate TO
foreign affairs or Investigations by the
different departments are, of course ex-
cepted. In speaking of the plan to have
Secretary Loeb give out the news,
Cabinet member had this to say:
Mr.. Loeb comes into the Cabinet
room during meetings only In response
to the ringing of a bell by the Presi-
dent. when he wants papers or desires
to send n message. If the Presidents S
private secretary attended Cabinet meet

AS startling as his civil service order
of Tuesday is the pronunciamento issued
by President Roosevelt to the members
Of his Cabinet prohibiting them from
talking to newspaper men about what
occurs at Cabinet meetings except under
certain rules, which the President him
self has laid down.
This order was promulgated In the
shape OF a letter to the Cabinet officers
signed by Secretary Loeb. 1t was re-

After adrnonishing his Cabinet to OBJ
serve the strictest confidence with re-
gard TO what occurs in Cabinet meet
ings. the President, through Secretary
Loeb. tells them that they must not
let their feelings of personal friendship
for special correspondents cause them
to give any information concerning the
affairs of their departments.
Anything that is to be given out must
come through the three press associa-
tions If a Cabinet officer desires 10
give information TO a special correspon-
dent he must send for representatives
of the press associations and give them
the same information at the same time.
1T has been made the subject of an
understanding" says the letter. with

Discrimination Unexplained.

They have not explained, however,
why discrimination is made by certain
private car lines in their charges for
icing. II Is pointed out that fruits when
shipped over the railroads OF the Mid
die West from California to Boston cost
for freight and icing $3.50 per car, while
the same shipments made over the Pere
Marquette Road. which uses exclusively
the cars of the Armour Company, cost
$500 for icing. in addition to the regular
freight CHARGES.
j. III. Kerr, general agent of the Amer
lean Refrigerating Transit Company,
was the first witness called TODAY The
important feature Of Mr.. Kerr's testi-
mony developed In his admission that
his company realized at the lowest es-
innate. profit OF 81 on every shipment
of car.
Mr.. Barry, for the commission, asked
MI. Kerr a number OF questions regard
ing the system of collecting freight bills
and bills for icing. by which he at
tempted to show the commission that
the railroads and the private car lines
had secret understandings as to the
amounts charged shippers. In answer
10 this. Mr.. Kerr explained that the
understanding In regard to such coIlec-
lions was simply for the purpose of
making II convenient for the consignee
and that his company did not benefit in
any way.
Another hearing will be held tomor-
row.

PRIVATE CAR LINES

sion Means Business.
STRONG TEST COMING
Railroads Say They Have No Control
Over Companies Contracts
With Shippers.

Another feature developed in the In
terstate Commerce Commission inves-
ugation is that the private car lines
realize that they are fighting for their
existence. So far their attitude has been
one OF obstruction. They realize now
that the commission has fully deter
mined to develop a case which will
stand the strongest test in the courts.
The railroads will attempt TO show
that they nave no supervision over the
contracts made by the private car lines
with shippers. while the private car
lines contend that the Interstate Com
merce Commission has no jurisdiction
over their rates. The railroads claim
that their contracts with the private car
lines are in many cases necessary; that
IL they were compelled 20 build their
own cars 1t would mean heavy losses

can only be used during certain seasons

The commission. however. It is said,
will show that all refrigerating cars If
constructed upon proper lines can be
used throughout the entire year. In
support of this they point TO the fact
that the great dairy interests of the
country must be moved without regard
TO season and that dairy products, such
as butter and eggs, require the same
snethod OF refrigeration as fruits. meats
and vegetables.
