WINDY CITY KICKS
Commercial Bodies Protest
Against Alleged Partially

The protest that is being made by Chi
cage with regard to the diversion of
western grain from the Windy City is
without firm foundation, according to the
view of the question taken. by ST. Paul
railroad men. Three big associations of
the Illinois town are in conference re-
garding the alleged mistreatment of Chi
cago by the railroads and a concerted
protest is being framed
According to well informed railroad men
OF this city the matter which resulted in
the conference was one in which Chicago
could have had little interest unless the
freight had been destined to the Atlantic
seaboard
A Milwaukee official explained the mat
ter as follows.
LAS l understand it there was ZOO. 900
bushels of corn in store in Omaha eleva-
tors. The price of corn at Chicago was
Slightly above the export level and the
corn seemed to be anchored at Omaha un-
til the price at Chicago rose so as to
warrant it moving there, or fell so that it
could be sold in foreign markets.
suddenly the Missouri Pacific cut the
rate 3 cents on corn from Omaha and
Missouri river common points to the Gulf
of Mexico ON export corn and the whole
lot at Omaha was sold in Liverpool Very
naturally the corn moved to the gulf via
st. Louis and was shipped to deep wa
ter at New Orleans.
Now, under ordinary circumstances,
with everything equal. there would be no
more reason for sending freight to one
seaboard than another But the Missouri
Pacific Is not a Chicago road, and in or
der to get the haul to the gulf, which is
a long and profitable one, the rate was
reduced generally for the time being and
as a consequence the grain went South
If the Chicago shippers, manufacturers
and grain dealers have a kick coming it is
against the Missouri Pacific and not
against the Chicago roads, There may be
grounds for criticising the Missouri Pa
cific for its action on cutting the rate to
get the business, but itsseems rather hard
to take the Chicago roads to task for the
action of the Gould line

LittIefieId Attempts to Answer
the Question

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. Fur
Their consideration was given in the house
today to the impeachment charges against
Judge Charles Swayne. of Florida. There
was a lack of noticeable interest in the
case, except among q few members. Mr..
Littlefield, of Maine, claimed that there
had been mo hunting or bounding of
Judge Swayne until, as result of the
O'Neal contempt case, O'Neal sought to
get his revenge on Judge Swayne, and
charged that since O'Neal died his friends
were to an extent carrying on the prose-
cution. Messrs. Powers (Mass.), Perkins
On. " and Parker On. j. also spoke,
the two first named for and the last nam
ed against impeachment.
The senate passed the legislative ap-
preparation bill. The questions of grant
ing pensions for service in the Indian po-
lice, and of allowing gratuities for in
juries received by workmen while in
the employ of the government were de-
bated at length.

HARTMAN TO COME
Union Pacific Considers Twin
City Offices

The action of the Vanderbilt lines in
q opening offices in each of the Twin Cities
has stirred up a number of foreign lines
and 6o the result is likely to be considerable

Inc Missouri Pacific and other Gould
lines are planning for Northwestern head.

LOUISVILLE q Nashville will install an es-
taDilshment in ST. Paul before June. 1t Is
an well known that the Hartman lines
nave been watching the situation with
great care, and from time to time word
Is given out that the roads are about to
secure quarters similar to those of the
New York Central lines.
The advantages to the Hartman lines,
particularly the Union Pacific, are very
apparent to railroad men of ST. Paul, and
they say that a definite effort is being
made by that railroad to secure suitable
quarters for Northwestern offices.
1t was suggested yesterday that in case
the reported Great Western deal is a
fact, that the Union Pacific would occupy
the offices of the Great Western. This.
however, was rather discredited. and local
railroad men look to see the Union Pa
cific open. offices either in st. Paul or
Minneapolis or both within sixty days.

STOHR MOVES UP
TO HIGH POSITION
Appointed Assistant Traffic Di-
rector of the Big Hartman
System

p. G. Stohr. general traffic manager of
the Chicago Great Western, has been ap-
pointed assistant traffic director of the
Hartman lines in the old place of Benja-
min Campbell, who is now fourth vice
president of the Great Northern. The ap-
pointment is effective Jan. /.
The signal honor to Mr. Stohr came as
a surprise to the railroad fraternity of the
Twin Cities, and when announced yester-
day morning gave rise to much speculation
as to who would succeed to the office
here. Mr.. Stohr was absent from the city
yesterday and may not return until the
middle of next week.
The new traffic director of the 10000
miles of the Hartman lines has always
been railroad man. He started his
work for transportation lines when seven
teen years uid as clerk in the Eastern
offices of the Rock Island. Since 1889
he has been closely connected with ST.
Paul as head of the freight department. of
the old Chicago, ST. Paul & Kansas City,
and later with the Great Western He has
held his present position for the past five
years and is particularly well regarded
by the management of the road.
In referring to the promotion and adj
vancement of Mr.. Stohr A. B. Stickney,
president of the Great Western, said:
IT only heard of the promotion of MIR.
Stohr two days ago, and while I am ex-
ceedingly sorry to lose such valuable
man, I am glad for his sake that his
worth mas D6ens SO SUBSTANTIALLY erecOS-
nized. He will receive twice as much in
his new position in the way of salary as
the Great Western paid him, and l have
no fear that he will fail to warrant the
honor that has been given him.
st. Paul railroaders are divided in their
opinion as to who will succeed Mr.. Stohr,
and Mr.. Stickney declines to go into any
speculation on the subject. Officials point
out that ]. p. Elmer, general passenger
agent of the road, is an available man
and In line for the place. Whether or not
the choice will fall on him is undeter-
mined.
Mr.. Stickney not only declined to say
who would fill the place, but he failed to
say whether or not it would be filed at
present.
This fact caused much speculation and it
was suggested that Mr. Stohr's appoint
ment to the Hartman lines does not take
him away from the Great Western at all.
This suggestion is in line with the re-
ports of the sale of the road to the Har-
riman system in November.
Local traffic men say that if Mr.. Stohr
is placed at Omaha as director of traffic
from that center it would be in the nature
of confirmation of the reported sale.
and that instead of taking him away from
the road would merely enlarge his juris-
diction to include the connecting Harri-
man lines.
On the other hand, if he Is to be sta
toned in Chicago, Portland or San Fran
cisco, they say this significance would be
lost to large extent.
The work of Mr. Stohr for the Great
Western Is looked upon by his fellow
workers as being on the brilliant order.
They credit him with much of the fine
showing OF the road in recent years.
