Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

Chicago, May 19.-Sensational testi-
mony as to an alleged secret code used
by the Armour car lines in making re-
bates, was given Friday before the in
terstate commerce commission here.
The testimony was given byH. Streyck-
mans, formerly employed by Armour &
Co., as stenographer. Witness read from
a book some of the code words and
their meaning as follows:
Laughsome-Rebate
Launch-Better arrange rebate there.

carefully.

Improbitas-J. NJ. Fifer.

When the code words standing for
the names of the interstate commerce
commissioners were read, laughter and
handclapplng among the shippers
caused Chairman Clements to rap for
order.
Questioned regarding prices paid by
various railroads for icing cars Mr..
Streyckmans replied:
The Northwestern billed ice at 81 a
ton That furnished by the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St Paul was billed at
S2.5e with rebate of 81 being granted
on a counterclaim. In the case of the
Erie it was $1.25. This gave large pro-
fits to the Armour lines"
Showing what he claimed to be dis
crinination among shippers, Streyck-
mans declared that former Lieutenant
Governor Aldon Anderson of California
paid So per cent of the tariff rate on his
shipments.
Among those who received more
than a so per cent rebate,'' said the
witness. were Frank H Buck of San
Francisco, the Earl Fruit company, the
Porter Brothers company, the Produc-
ers' Fruit company and others. Those
who paid and received less than a so
per cent rebate were Stephens &
Humphreys, s. r. Roper, Schnadel
Bros, George D. Kellogg and others -
He said the net cost of ice to the
Armour carline on the New York Cen
trail was 81 a ton. on the West Shore
roads $3.50 a ton, on the Baltimore &
Ohio $3.50 a ton; on the Pennsylvania.
lines 81 and $3.50 a ton. Streyckmans
declared that the profits to the Armour
lines on the icings ran as high as 500
to 500 per cent.
The profits per car on shipments
from California to New York" said the
witness, were on an average of $86. So"

THE HERINGTON SHOOT.
Sixteenth Annual Tournament of the
Kansas Association.

S1XLeeuCn annual tournament Oh the
Kansas Association.
Herington, Kan, May 13.-Ar-
engagements are practically completed
for the sixteenth annual tournament
of the Kansas State Sportsmen's Asso-
citation which will be held here May
16, II, IS, 10. Liberal purses have
been hung for the various events and
numerous specials are offered by
manufacturers and local business
men. The first three days of the pro-
gramme will be devoted to clay birds
and the last day to live birds. The
live bird contests are free to all and
an unusual number of experts and
professionals will compete.
From assurances already received
Mr.. Lewis, the local secretary, is of
the opinion that the tournament will
be one of the largest ever held under
the auspices of the association.
One of the most interesting events
of the programme will be the fifty
bird race for the amateur champion
ship of Kansas. No dope is being
handed out at this time as to who viii
be the winner, probably owing to the
fact that Kansas and the west is de-
veloping shooters at such rapid rate
in the last few years that a dark horse
may step IN at the last minute. For
this championship event the local gun
club is offering a special trophy, a dia-
mond mounted charm suitably en-
graved and emblematic of the sport in
which it will be won.
