COT RID OF MONEY

100000.

Married Chorus Girl and Ex-

Day.

Denver. Colo. May 3.-Fourteeu
weeks ago Samuel S. Reymer, son of a
millionaire candy manufacturer OF
Pittsburg. was reported to have 5000
600 in his own name. He fell in love
with Nellie Paris a dancing girl, and
married her in defiance of the wishes
of his parents.
Today he is Ewing in a cheap board
ing house there. where the room rent
is 81 week, and is dependant upon
the money he gets from an uncle al
home to pay his bills. In the same
home is a blonde young woman. who
is not the girl he married, and whose
identity is a mystery.
Reymcr High Roller.
AS a record breaking spender and
a high roller of the first water young
Reymer is about the biggest who ever
wound up a meteOTic financial career
here
He has told several friends in Den
yer that he was the possessOr of more
than half a million dollars when he
first met Nellie Paris. the shop girl
and dancer at Pittsburg. Reymer met
tlit 1 al - SAli dl liloDulS II NtCho
ago.
AS far as ordinary calculation can
follow the flight of the Reymer money,
there was an expenditure of $42,S57 a
week by the young man and his com
panion, or a flow of $G,122 a day.
How far Reymer would have got if
his money had lasted is the question.
With a start of 100000 cold cash and
prodgious appetite for the good
things of life. young Reymer has scat
tered enough gold coins between Pitts
burg and Denver TO build a battleship.
He Had IA Good Time.
Having placed the finish mark on
his greenback campaign. he still has
the recollection that he was going
some" while it lasted. He smiles path
etically as he says he had "a good
time"

MATHER is HEARD
c., r. |. & p. Official Before the
Senate Rate Fixing
Committee.
is OPPOSED TO ANY CHANGES
Declares Existing Abuses Can Be
Remedied by Application of
Present Laws.

Washington, May 3.-Robert Mather,
chairman of the executive committee
of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
Railroad company, and general coun-
sci of the Rock Island & St. Louisl &
San Francisco railroads, was heard
yesterday by the senate rate commit
tee. He said in part:
Rates are not unreasonable, and re-
bates are or can be prevented under
existing laws. Government regulation
of common carriers seeks to accom-
plish two purposes. First, the estab-
lishment and maintenance of reason
able rates; and, second. the prohibi-
tion of determinations. In the present
discussion two propositions may be
considered as settled. First, that the
railway rates in the United States are
not in themselves unreasonable; and,
second. that determinations which re-
suit from secret rate making and re-
bate giving and other like devices have
been done away with under the eX-
listing law.
Question of Preference.
"The only evil demanding additional
Legislation is preference between To-
calities, and the question under con
sideration then resolves itself into
this: Is it necessary or desirable that
the interstate commerce commission
should be given the rate making pow
er in order that preferences between
localities shall cease? The proposed
legislation is not necessary, for there
seems to be nothing in the commercial
or financial situation of the country
which demands such a radical depart
ure from a plan of rate making which
has been long established and under
which our commerce has grown to its
present stupendous proportions.
THAT there is a public clamor for
giving the rate making power to the
commission cannot be denied but that
it is a misled clamor is plainly appar-
ent. The evil which is in the public
mind and which the public generally
believes is to be cured by the proposed
legislation is the evil of rebates and
determinations between shippers.
AccOrds with Message.
This was the keynote of the presi-
dents message. If it were clearly
that these practices are
all prohibited by the original act to
regulate commerce and that all can be
prevented under the Ellins act, public
clamor would be at a loss to put its
finger upon any specific evils to be
remedied by new legislation and would |
agree with the statement of the inter
state commerce commission itself that
the existing system of laws applicable
to the wrong doing is complete and |
simple No amendment of the statute, |
therefore, is necessary"
