ROADS MUST TAKE ACTION.

Undertaking..

VIII Unite to Stop the Practice of
Undertaking..
Railroads will take up the matter of
stopping the practice of underbilling
freight. the recent investigation Of the
Interstate commerce commission hav-
ing developed clearly the fact that the
lines are to be held liable If freight is
underbilled on account ofnot weighing
cares either at shipping point, en- route
or at destination. No excuse is to be
accepted and, while the intention
might not be dishonest. the carriers
Will not be held faultless if It de-
velops the shipment has been under
billed and the shipper thereby re-
ceived a benefit, which is equivalent
to cut rate.
1t Is proposed to submit the entire
matter to a committee to be composed
of three representatives of the western
freight lines, three for the trunk lines
and two for the New England roads,
which will recommend rules to be
adopted by all the roads in order that
uniformity may be rea ched and the
matter placed on a correct basis
1t is understood that any agreement
at terminals that estimated weights
would be accepted would be consid-
cred illegal unless the same is pub
lished by tariff regularly authorized.
There is no doubt but there are many
articles accepted by the roads at pres
ent at estimated weights, which
weights are not correct. but the inter-
state commission holds this to be
illegal unless incorporated in tariffs
The roads will insist upon actual
weights where they can be obtained
and that estimates, if used, shall be
alike III all territories and be covered
by tariffs of all roads

that would permit it to sell some 10
villages and towns along the lire for
lighting and power purposes. In build
ing its own transmission line, it could
carry the greater part of it over the Erie

Winfield, kan. April 2.-There was

cured during the progress of the case
uhlch grew out of the failure Of the
baden Produce company. The records
show that the failure was bad one,

Ex- Congressman Jackson was the at

the trial Joseph Lafferty. attorney for
The local stockholders, started the trou-
bic by declaring that the books of the
company had been tempered with af
ter the failure. Jackson, incensed at
the statement made by Lafferty, jump

HOMEsEEKERs' EXCURSIONS.
Chances Now Are That They VIII Be
Run Weekly.

Run Weekly.
Chicago. April 2.=It is now about
almost certain that weekly homeseek-
ers' excursions viii rule during the re-
mainder of the current year in the en-
tire western section of the country.
Efforts to secure a meeting Of execu-
tive officers to discuss the matter with
the view of having the three north
western roads which have announced
their intention of running weekly ex-
cursiOns cancel their notices to this
effect have thus far failed. The three
road are the Wisconsin Central, the
Chicago Great Western and the Bur-
lington. They justify their action by
pointing out that they are meeting the
wishes of their connections north and
west of st. Paul. They say that unless
these roads consent to return to the
old arrangement of semimonthly ex-
cursions they do=not feel at liberty to
do so. The first excursions under the
new arrangement viii be run next
Tuesday. The Rock Island has caused
a proposition to be submitted to the
vote of all interested lines for weekly
excursions to the southwest. The re-
suit of the vote has been withheld
pending the looked for action by the
executive officers. but as they have
shown no inclination to interfere, II Is
certain that excursions to the south
west will be run just as frequently and
on the same days as they are to the
northwest. This will force the west
ern roads to take similar action They
will be run with a view to the impetus
they win give to the settlement and
development of the western country.
