UNIQUE . POINT
IMPORTANT RULING is MADE in
DAMAGE SUIT IN
ILLINOIS.

Bloomington, ILL.,, April "a. - An
unique point in a damage suit has been
brought out by the decision of Judge
Wright in the Champaign county court.
Last fall railroad dining car was de-
rallied and Ralph o. Roberts of Keo-
kuk, Iowa, student of the University
Of Illinois was killed. The defendants s
attorney moved that the suit be dis.
missed on the plea that the plaintiff
had not introduced evidence to show
that any person was depending upon
Roberts for support and that being a
college man he really was an expense
to his parents during that period OF
life. The judge decides that the point
was well taken and dismissed the
case. An appeal will be taken.

cUToR OUTLINE CASE THIRD
TIME.

New York, April 24.-For the third
time within six months, Nan Patter-
son, today sat in court and listened
to Assistant District Attorney Rand
explain to the jurymen what he as
public prosecutor proposed to do to
convince them that she was guilty
of the murder Of Caesar" Young.
while the outline Of the peoples case
as given by Rand today was practi-
cally a repetition Of those which have
gone before it differed In some mater
ial respects. Much of the evidence
given at the other trials will not be
presented this time, it appears, while
the prosecution promises to introduce
some entirely new features.
Defendant Becomes III.
At the conclusion Of Rand's argu-
ment, Miss Patterson was taken with
a sudden faintness, but soon revived
and was able to walk unassisted back
to her cell.

Railroads Are PhIIanthroplsts.

Nashville Railroad company, appeared
before the committee.
Railroads Are Philanthroplsts.
President Tuttle Of the Boston &
Maine railroad announced Saturday
before the interstate commission that
railroads were philanthropy He as
serted that a large part of the grain
west was moved at a loss, and if this
policy were not pursued the farmers
would be burning their wheat and corn
for fuel.
This statement is directly contrary
to the conclusions which the inter
state commission reached after a thor
ough investigation Of the grain trade
The commission reported that the
roads made an exorbitant profit from
the transportation Of food stuffs. In
the case of the New York Central
alone 1t was shown that trainload Of
wheat brought revenue of 5000 to
the company when the expense Of haul
Ing, etc., was not more than 5000.
M. Tuttle gave good idea of the
cleverness of the men who are admin
istering the railroads OF the country
"A man who desires to manipulate
rates and get discriminations,' he
said, "can manipulate the rate made
by the government as he can one
made by the roads because both Of
them are legal rates."
Denies Manipulation Theory.
A member Of the Interstate COM
merce commission made last night this
answer to Mr.. Tuttle.
"a man cannot manipulate the rates
for the government or railroad if he
applies the same rate to everybody.
II congress DEGREES the means where
by reasonable rate may be fixed that
rate will be uniformly enforced If
Mr.. Tuttle wanted to manipulate rates
made by the government he would find
It as easy as breaking into the United
States treasury.
Says Many Are interested.
Mr.. Tuttle wanted to give the idea
to the committee and the country that
the railroads are not controlled by a
few men. but that thousands are inter
ested In their administration Commis-
sioner Prouty of the interstate com.
merce commission made q speech in
OHleaSo Soue udyS ago III Wnlcn ne
stated that half dozen systems con-
trolled two-thirds of the gross receipts
from railroads in the United States.
Mr.. Tuttles argument was weakened
by his statement that railroad was
a natural monopoly and that rate wars
have ended between roads. He con
firmed the statement of Mr.. Mora.
wetz, counsel for the Atchison system
that traffic managers make rates for
railways, which has connection with
the proceedings now in progress

Chicago, April "a. - The price OF
May wheat continued on it's wild down
ward plunge here today. sales being

tremely exciting session.
A Long Drop.
Before the first hour Of trading had
elapsed Nay wheat had fallen to 93h
cents, sheer drop of 171a cents from
SATURDAYS high point. At the open
ing the price was off to cents,
standing at SO to SO cents. Buying by
Armour & Co., caused temporary
check to the decline, the price hover
ing around 97A Another break soon
occurred, the price dropping to 93h
cents.
Support for July.
Distant deliveries were weak al
though July was supported quite vigor-
ously by Armour & Co. Heavy rains oy-
er the entire winter wheat belt from

settled state of speculation. Operators
were confused in the Interpretation Of

exchange list of the Northern Pacific
was another confusing element.
Wheat Slump Has Effect.
To these were added the slump IN
wheat of Saturday, Indicating the col.
capse of the corner, and the furry in
the market Thursday. To add to the
uncertainty the London stock market
was closed today Efforts were mani
fest to control the market by support
Ing special stocks, which had the ef-
| feet Of steadying the market.
Northern Pacific Shows Drop.
Within fifteen minutes after the op-
ening Northern Pacific sold at $1,671a.
| This stock has been nominally quoted
at $1.S0. During the first hour Union
Pacific sold off some 31a points and a
number of other leading stocks point
4 or more. Bear operators were very
active on the short side and they over
sold the market They were driven
to cover during the second hour and
this caused some vigorous rallies, but
the recovery was checked before
| reaching last Thursdays closing level
and the market became very dull and
uncertain.
Wheat Loses Three Cents.
May wheat continued it's downward
movement today, sustaining losses Of
.. more than three, cents a bushel
Steady at Close.
An improved demand was mani
tested during the last hours trading
and the market became quite steady,
May closing Z cents lower, at SO. July
was down to 84A@84B.
II Corn Shows Decline.

at the close was near the lowest point
of the day. May was down IN @1M,
