ment Of General Chaffee next April.

securities having a face value of 1894
600, taken from safe of the Domin-
ion Express company in the robbery

Fixing Railroad Rates.
Yokohama.

Making railroad rates is like playing
game of checkers or chess. Com
munities to be benefited, producers,
manufacturers or shippers to be aided
represent the pieces used. Every poss-
IDLE move is studied for its effect on
the general result by skilled traffic
managers. A false move in the max
ing of freight rates may mean the ruin
Of a city, of great manufacturing in
terest, of an agricultural community.
Railroads strive to build up all these SO
that each may have an equal chance
in the sharp competition of business.
So sensitive to this rivalry are the rail-
roads that in order to build up bust
ness along their lines they frequently
allow the shipper to practically dictate
rates. Rate making has been matter
of development; of mutual concessions
for mutual benefit. That is why the
railroads of the United States have
Voluntarily made freight rates so much
lower in this country than they are on
the government-owned and operated
railways of Europe and Aust1 ALA that
they are now the lowest transportation
rates in the world.

extravagant alterations and unnecessary
repairs in certain houses belonging TO the
trust estate. Mr.. Smith declared the sole
purpose was TO waste the income OF the

have Forest Greene restrained from MAX
ing any repairs save under the supervision
of the court and wanted an Injunction for
that purpose.

After the trustee had admitted he Simply
told plumber TO go ahead and make the
plumbing right the trustee was asked IL
he could not have got better prices by

was little competition he found in the
plumbing business Mr.. Greene though
admitted that he did not ask bids on the
painting OF the two houses belonging
TO the estate The men who made the
repairs swore they were needed and only
fair prices were received.
Seeber Edwards roundly denounced Mr.
Greene's course as trustee, and said he
was trying to use up all the income so
Mr.. Smith could get nothing.
