Rebates Paid by Railways in
Guise of Damages.
SchwarzschiId & Sulzberger
Hand Out Another Body Blow.
PAID BACK $3.50 A CAR.
Roads Had Put in Evidence of
Opposite Nature.
Gossip and Matters OF Interest
in Railroad Circles.

Chicago, Oct. 4.-Schwarzschild &
Sulzberger, through their traffic man
ager, B. S. Cusey, have delivered an
other body blow to the railroads. Or
dered by the court in the cattle rates
case to produce the accounts of the
company showing the amount of re-
bates received from the railroads on
their shipments of dressed meat, pack
ing house products and live stock since
1902, Mr.. Cusey. showed by these ac-
counts that the railroads had paid
them in the guise of damages an aver
age of $3.50 on every car of dressed
meat and 81 on every car. of live stock
shipped.
Attorneys for the defendant rail
roads were taken by surprise by the
order of the court, but they were in no
position to object Meanwhile the
government attorneys are making
preparations to bring out stiu more
testimony on this subject by sub
poenaing the traffic managers of the
other packing houses.
One of the contentious of the rail-
roads has been that there was no loss
to the railroads in damage claims on
shipments of packing house products
and dressed beef except in case of a
wrecked car. On the other hand, they
to live stock were large, inasmuch as
live stock had to be brought to mar
ket before a certain time in the morn
ing or suffer possible depreciation in
the price. The testimony of Mr.. Cusey,
whose company handles both classes
of shipments, disproved this assertion.
Attorneys for the government and
S. H. Cowan, who is conducting the
case for the shippers, declare that the
packers have few legitimate claims for
damages to their meat and products
in transit because all of this class of
shipment is carried in the refrigerator
cars of the packers, being cared for
by the packers themselves at their
various icing stations in transit.
+. P. Ripley, president of the Santa
F'e, was recalled for a few moments
in accordance with an agreement he
made last week when he was on the
stand to give the railroad attorneys a
chance to cross examine him about
some statistics which he introduced in
his testimony. He declared that the
amount of damage claims paid to the
packers on dressed meats and packing
house products during the year 1905.
was $3.50 He added, however, that
the volume of such shipments hauled
by his road was small, compared with
that hauled by other roads

NEW OILER FOR TRUCKS.
one Is to Be Given Good Test by
*. c.. NJ. & o.

Wichita, Oct 4.-Superintenden Foley
of the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient
railway. has announced that his road
will test the new Brown patent oiler for
trucks of rolling stock on railroads.
This invention is Cor the purpose of
doing away with the old style of oiling
the bearings by the use of waste satu-
rated with oil. The device is so ar
ranged that a steady supply OF oil IS
kept dripping on the bearings, and the
mechanism is such that the flow can
be regulated so as not to waste the
lubricant.
The test will he made on one side of
the Orient's smoking car on the run
between Wichita and Fairview. The
other side of the car will be left as 1t IS
thus allowing of a fair test to see which
system is the best and most economical
Special instructions have been given by
Mr.. Foley not to have the car tempered
with while in Wichita, only to see that
the side which has not the new device
attached is kept properly oiled and new
waste supplied when needed
Should the patent prove TO be a sue
cess and as economical as the old sys-
TEN. the Orient will have 1t placed on
all their cars, passenger and freight.

SYMPOSIUM ON TRAIN SPEED.

In answer to our question as to the
speed Of passenger trains, says Les
lies Weekly, the Hon. Martin F.
Knapp, chairman of the interstate COM
meIce commission, says that within
limits the whole question is one of
conditions and adds:
The rate of speed entirely safe on
one line might be positively dangerous
on another. The varying circum-
stances on different lines would seem
to preclude any rule of general appl-
cation
President Ripley of the Santa Fe
road-who recently caused a special
train to be run between Santa Fe and
Chicago in record breaking time=SayS
that the only diffece.sce in fast train
is that the fast train is composed of
fewer cars than the slow train, and
that, having none of the dead weight
represented by express and mail cars
of the slow trains between the engine
and the passenger cars, the passen-
gers on the shorter train are more liza
Bile to injury in case of accident.
President Wilcox of the Delaware &
Hudson road compares a fast train to
a skyscraper, saying that the man who
falls from the top of such building
receives injuries no greater than does
the man who falls from the fSth story.
President Barr of the Seaboard Air
line says that high-sDeed train re-
ceiVe more care and greater protection
than sIow-speed trains do, as all en-
ployes are required to facilitate and
protect the movement OF high-speed
trains to the utmost.
G. NJ. Basford, editor of the Ameri
can Engineer and Railroad Journal,
says that until our railroads have a
more uniform installation of the sig
Mailing system, as in England, we
should not greatly increase the speed
of ira ssss.
And yet, asked why it is that the
fatalities on English railways are so
much smaller than on American rail-
ways, President Newman of the New
York Central said II do not believe
there is any such great disproportion
in fatalities on roads in this country
and in England, considering the diff
ference in conditions. It is. Indeed,
impossible to make fair or just or in
telligent comparison"

REFUSES NOURIsHNIENT.
Leavenworth Woman Slowly Starving
to Death

A1SetN cAA0OItu W oman SLOWLY starving
to Death.
Slowly dying because she refuses to
take nOurishment of any kind Mrs
Alexander, who lives in Stillings' ad-
ditiOn, is martyr to religion. Not in
the same manner as the Christians of
old, torn to death in the gladiateriaI
combats Of the Romans. nor torn by
the cruel rack and Dinion of the days
of the Inquisition, is she approaching
her death, but, broken down by the
more exquisite pangs of hunger, she
patiently awaits her last hours.
Mrs. Alexander's starvation is, in a
way, a selt-imposed Penance, for she
suffers from an acute attack of meIan-
chOlia, induced by her interest in re-
igiOus matters, and this depressed men
tai condition is what led Mrs. Alex
ander to decide that the time for her
to die had arrived.
It is now necessary for the family
physician to visit Mrs. Alexander once
daily, when he gives her nourishment
through a tube, but this is inadequate
to the WOman's needs, and she is slow
~ wasting away Naturally enough,
only liquids can be administered
through this tube, and this fact limits
Mrs. Alevander's diet to a very few
articles of food. She soon tires of these
and some days absolutely refuses to ac-
cept any nOurishment at all. Her rel
atives and friends argue with Mrs.
Alexander repeatedly in the hope of in
ducing her to accept more substantial
food, but UP to this time their entreat-
les have proved fruitless.

CONGRESSMAN SCOTT HOME.
lola Statesman Thinks Oriental Trip
Productive of Good.


lola, Kan, Oct Congressman
Charles F. Scott has returned. from a
three months trip with the Taft party
to the Orient. They visited the Phil
ippines, Japan, China and the islands
not only of our eastern possessions,
but many OF the Islands belonging to
foreign nations.
Naturally I am very glad to re-
turn otter being away from home for
so long" Mr.. Scott said. physically
the trip was extremely firing. We
were constantly on the go and the
number of official functions alone
which we attended would tax the di-
gestion of the best man. But on the
whole 1 think the trip has been pro-
ductive of good. For many reasons
the situation in the Philippines was
not one that gave the best satisfae-
ton Secretary Taft had always been
a .faVOrite with the FilipinoS and the
way he irOned out the political
wrangle indicated the possession of
rare diplomatic tact. His speeches to
them and his private talks We're all re-
assuring without in the least encour-
aging them in things which he knew
could not be given them.
THE trip will doubtless result in the
lowering of the duties on goods from
the islands. CuriOusly enough the
only members of the party who doubt
the wisdom of such a course were the
Democratic members who have always
been in favor of free trade"
