One man in the first coach of No. 3
had managed to raise a window and
had forced his body half way to free

each movement only wedged him in the

Onlookers were prevented from ap-

timber from the roof of the car fell up
on his head, killing him.

presented a frightful appearance; are

difficult to identify them. How many
more bodies remain at the scene of the
wreck, has not been established.

company that having membership in
the association it had the same priv
leges of participation in the proceed

The subject is one of so much I'M
portance that a fun attendance of the
membership is expected. The body of
the business men is naturally repre-
sentative of the telephone users Of the
| city and should not only be thoroughly
interested in reaching comprehensive
understanding of the situation, but may

ciation.-Eating Secretary's Office
Rock Island, H. March 15.-Dear ST.:
AT a membership meeting of the
Rock Island Retail Merchants assOcia
| ton on Monday night a committee was
appointed to wait upon the city coun
Gil and protest against the passage OF
an ordinance pertaining to the Central
| Union Telephone company.
Your committee performed its duty
and secured a continuance for one
week, and we now request you TO at
tend meeting OF the association at
| the office OF w. c. Maucker in the
at 8 o'clock to take further action in
the matter.
! We desire 10 impress upon you the
Importance of attending this meeting,
as it will affect our purses for the next
% years.
| The city council has apparently re-
ceded from nearly all demands former
| ly made upon the Central Union Tele-
phone company, and amongst others
| the demand for a reduction of rates.
the telephone company desires fran
chise for % years, but refuses to insert
a clause in the ordinance making the
present high rates maximum rates. but
state openly that as our city increases
in population, that they must reserve
the right TO increase the rates.
We wish further TO call your atten-
ton to the fact that if this unjust con
dition is granted by the council, it
would undoubtedly result in the Union
Electric Telephone company wanting
its 2 per cent tax Cancelled as well as
giving it the right TO also raise it's
ton, SO that it would be on the
ton, so that they would be on the
same basis for doing business as its
competitor, the Central Union TeIe-
phone company, and the result of the
whole matter would affect the purses
of our merchants and business men
most vitality.
As this is a matter of great inipor-
lance, we desire your attendance at
this meeting.
Yours, most respectfully.

Favoritism Only Wrong.


The wrong, if any had been done,
was in the alleged favoritism. There
could be no favoritism in rates, as all
shippers were on an absolute equality.
Mr.. Cassatt made himself personally
responsible for the absolute correct
ness Of this statement. If there was
any discrimination it could only be in
the distribution of empty coal cars and
so far as he knew no proof had been
produced that the officers had been
guilty of such favoritism. There had
always been shortage of coal cars
during periods of every year and in re-
cent years this condition had been
aggravated by the great increase In the
production of coal. In view of this
and Of the suspicion which such own
ership would create officers having to
do with the distribution of coal cars
ought not to own coal stocks; but to
prohibit all officers and employees from
holding stock of companies having
business with the Pennsylvania would
practically bar them from Wrestling in
the stocks Of companies located in
Pennsylvania and half dozen
other states. The subject was
troublesome and complicated. 1t
would do no good to adopt unavoidable
and unenforceable resolutions. The
question must be handled in reason
able and practical way, and Mr.. Cas-
satt had no doubt the board would sue
coed in solving it satisfactorily.
