BEARS DOWN ON
EASTERN JOBBERS
Winnipeg Wholesaler Makes a
Caustic Address in Behalf Of
Home Interests.
Special to The journal.

Special to The journal.
Winnipeg, Man, Sept. l2.-J. Bar
low, transportation expert Of the Cana
dian Manufacturers association, spoke
before the railway commission last
evening concerning the rules governing
mixed carloads of freight. j. III. Ash
down, a wholesale hardware merchant
of Winnipeg, answered him with some
degree of asperity. He said that Bar
low hardly represented the manufac-
turers, but the jobbers of eastern Cana
da. H. E..5...
The iobbers, in coming to this coun-
try, were birds of passage-here in good
times and away in bad. They had been
known in bad times to send but one or
der to their agent, here and that was to
collect, and matters had gone so far
that Winnipeg men had been compelled
to put their hands in their pockets to
save estates in consequence.
He thought eastern men had better
stay in their own territory. The ex-
perience on this continent was that job
bling centers every 300 to 500 miles
apart were necessary. It took too long
to get goods from the east, and eastern
merchants would not take bad times
with the good.
The Winnipeg merchant had had a
hard fight to get established. He had
fought the railroads, for in early days
the Canadian Pacific railroad was in
clined to pander to the eastern idea
merely hewers of wood and drawers Of
water to the eastern trade. However,
it had been madeSsto change its mind,
and had come toEthe& conclusion that it
was necessary to have, a jobbing center

HIS BROKEN BACK IS
HIS STOCK IN TRADE
New York Sun Special Service.


Philadelphia, Sept 12.-Edward l.. Pare.
former circus performer, who is alleged
to have used his ability to dislocate his
neck to mulct railway companies, has
been indicted on charge of conspiracy to
defraud and for false pretenses. The
charge is made by the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit company.
Pape's stock in trade, it is alleged, was
an injury which he received in high div
ing at Coney Island several years ago.
He suffered a fracture of the fourth
vertebrae and since his recovery has been
able to dislocate his neck at will.
In July last he fell from a Market street
car and was dragged some distance. He
was picked up apparently unconscious and
at the Jefferson hospital physicians dis
covered his neck was broken. He de-
manded $4,000 of the traction company
and was given $500 before the alleged
fraud was discovered. !

Seattle, Wash, Sept. 12.-That Bar

rival in Japan is the opinion expressed
by Rev. Mr.. Kozaki, a prominent Jap
anese minister, who is in this city to

however, that if the class Of people
who are. responsible for the present up
rising learn the true conditions of the
peace settlement before the arrival of
the baron, he may not be molested.
Mr.. Kozati says that unless the Jap
anese receive the indemnity agreed on
as reimbursement for taking care Of
Russian prisoners, economic depression
may result for a year or SO. If this
money is received within short time,
however, this danger will be aYerted.
