CUDAHY'S BACKING IT,.
win Push the Pipe Line From Chelsea
to st. Louis.

Independence, Kan, Oct. 6.-The
pipe line to St Louis from Chelsea. has
been financed by the Cudahys of Chi
cago, who have agreed to look into the
three million dollar bond issue. The
company viii be incorporated in Della
ware this week and will be known as
the Cudahy Pipe Line & Refining COM
pany. The capital stock viii be six
million dollars. The line is to cost
nearly two million dollars. The com
pany is to put in a refinery at st.
Louis with an initial capacity of 5000
barrels of crude oil daily. The supply
stations are to be located at Cairo, st.
Paul New Orleans and one other place
yet to be decided upon and oil is to be
shipped to them in barges.
There was a meeting of the men in
terested in the line, and some of the
largest producers in the Kansas terri
tory field here last evening. 1t was
announced that Michael Cudahy of
Chicago will be president Of the COM
pany. ". D. Todd of New York treas
urer and A J. Nathan of Warren, Pa,
secretary The directors have not yet
been chosen. 1t was also stated that
men will begin getting rights of way
Tor the pipe line today, and as soon
as the rights Of way are secured the
construction of the pipe line will begin.
The company will begin at once this
construction of more than zoo, 600 bar
rels storage tankage so as to permit
the continued operation of their prop
critics without loss. It was also stated
that the line will have a daily capacity
of II, GOO barrels, and that the pump
ing stations will be about twenty miles
apart. The line is to be $40 miles
long One hundred and forty miles of
this is to be laid with eight-inch pipe
and the rest of it will be laid with six
inch pipe. Contracts for the barges
and the building of the refinery at ST.
Louis will be let immediate ly upon the
organization of the company, which
will take place at Chicago some time
during the next two weeks.
The two corporations which control
the company are the Cudahys and the
Corn Planter refinery of Warren, Pa.
They will own all the stock. The
bonds have been placed with a trust
company in Chicago. These two cor
porations have a production now of
less than $500 barrels of oil and VIII
be in the market for more than 5000
barrels of oil daily upon the comple-
ton of their storage tankage and pipe

The strength of officers was {, 421
from the medical department reports
and 3.Sl5 from the military secretary.
Ihere were :. 206 admissions 27 deaths.
Comparisons with foreign armies
show that the highest rate of admis-
SiOns is in the American army and the
lowest in the Russian. The highest
death rate was in the American army
and the lowest in the Prussian. The
highest non-effective rate was in the
American army and the lowest in the
Prussian Regarding these facts Gen.
O'Reilly says:
Much Malaria.
THE very high proportion for al
coholism in the American army as
compared with that of the British
army is clearly due to the fact that
in the latter service only admissions to
the hospital are counted. 1t is nOta-
bic that while the British have less
than half the American admission for
dysentery their death rate is practi-
cally the same and that while their
ratio of admission Cor malaria is about
the same their death rate IS nearly
three times as great. The American
admission rate for malaria is nearly
eighty times that of the French, while
the death rate is only five times as
great. These facts point to difference
IN the method of computing admis-
sions. The figures for measles and
mumps compare very unfavorably
with other armies except the French
'The comparatively high American
death rate for tuberculosis is explain
ed by the fact that in the United States
army tuberculosis patients are sent to
a sanitarium and retained in service for
long periods While in other armies they
are promptly discharged. The high
admission rate is no doubt due to the
present defective system of medical
examination of recruits. The undue
prevalence of typhoid fever in the
army is partly explainable by its undue
prevalence in the civil communities
where the troops are stationed, as a
result of general failure to purify
water and sewage in American munich
palities. Notably is the absence of
smallpox in the Prussian, Bavarian and
Dutch armies. More care in Vaccina-
ton would give like results in other
services.
The strength of the army in the
Philippines was II. 1876 and there were
2O,246 admissions to the sick report
and 1O5 deaths. The strength of the
Filipino troops was 4,610 and there
was 5,242 admissions and 1913 deaths.

RATE LEGISLATION.
II Is Discussed by the President and
Congressman Townsend.

Washington, Oct. 6.-Railroad rate
legislation was the topic of a long con-
ference between the president and
Representative Townsend &C Michigan,
one of the authors of the Esch-ToWn-
send bill. which was passed last win
ter by the house of representatives. AT
the conclusion of the conference, which
lasted an hour and a quarter, Mi.
Townsend said it is his purpose to
have his bill in readiness for tatroduc-
ton in the house as soon as congress
cOGvenes.
After making it perfectly clear that
the provisions of the measure apply to
private cars, refrigerator cars. and ter
minal charges, it viii be my purpose
through the measure, to confer uDon
the interstate commerce commission
the power to make its findings, in any
particular case, effective within a rea-
sCnable time after they are annOunc-
ed" said Mr.. Townsend. Efforts have
been made TO create the impression
that It is the purpose of the advocates
of this legislation to give the interstate
commerce commission the authority to
fix all the rates OF a railroad. That
is not true. 1t is intended only that
the commission, if complaint shall be
made to it that any particular rate is
unjust, shall have power, after due in
vestigation to substitute a reasonable
rate in case the complaint shall have
been shown to be well founded"

been sent out for Abraham Schiller. a
part owner of the Alamosa bank of
Alamosa, Colo. which closed its doors
a few days ago after S250,OOO of its
funds were reported missing
Mr.. Schiller left New York last

One Brother in Jail.
Denver, Oct 6-A special to the
Republican from Alamosa, Colo, says
that l. w. Schiller, one of the owners
OF the AlamOsa bank which Went into
the hands of a receiver day or so
ago, has been arrested on the charge
OF embezzlement of sum in excess of
5000 belonging to the San Luis
Building & Loan association, Of which
he is treasurer. A preliminary ex-
placed at $4,000. Other warrants
were sworn out against Schiller charg-
ing him with receiving deposits when
he knew the Alamosa bank was in
solvent. Bonds in these cases totaled
$4,000. Failing to supply the entire
bond of $4,000, Schiller was placed in
jail.
A warrant has been sworn out for
Abe Schiller, another part owner of
the suspended bank. but he has not
yet been located. 1t is believed he is
in New York. A sensational develop
ment today in connection with the in
vestigation of the banks affairs was
the discovery that Hermann Schiller a
wealthy silk merchant of New York,
was in no way connected with the
Alamosa bank. Tt was his name and
reputation. which is considered the
best in Alamosa, that gave the bank
its prestige.
A report of the deDositors' commit
tee shows the bank to have assets 'of
indefinite commercial value amount
ing to s373,744. Liabilities include
S19S,964 to deDOsitors and $4,000
due to other banks. The report says
that considerable paper of the bank is
held by other banks as collateral for
loans made to the Alamosa bank.
