Shippers and the Railroads.

For years the railroads have been abus-
ed, but in hearing here before the Inter-
state commerce commission recently the
table were turned and the railroads were
held up as the victims of the shippers.
Testimony was introduced to show that
twenty-seven firms in this city alone
habitually mislabeled freight to get the
advantage of the lower classification. In
other words they played railroad against
railroad until they found one that would
accept their mslabeled shipments or
agree to underweigh them. p,
The principal witness at the hearing
told of how freight was divided into six
classes, according to the qualty-cutlery.
salt boxes and other valuable freight
shipped usually in small packages going
as first-class freight. for example. at 81 90
hundred pounds from New York to
Chicago. The freight was graded down
from goods of this sort to sixth class
freight, such as sugar in bulk, which
went for 80 cents hundred pounds from
New York to Chicago.
The fraud practised on the railroads by
the shippers consisted he said of the list
ing of first-class freight for instance, as
third-class, and billing it underweight.
In this way he said, lower freight charges
were extorted from the railroads, which
really amounted to rebates.

PASSING of Russell SAGE.

There was world of meaning in the
simple announcement the other day that
Russell Sage had retired from the exec
utive committee OF the st. Louis, Iron
Mountain and Southern railroad, followed
by the explanation that sit meant moth
ing because Mr.. Sage meant soon with
drawing from the directorates of all the
other Gould roads. The information was
construed by the street as presagng the
passing of its great money lender.
1t was understood thoroughly by the
initiated that business was so much a
part of Russell Sage's life he would never
let go his hold on any post of honor so
long as he might remain physically able
to attend to 1t. 1t long had been a good
natured joke in financial circles that Mr..
Sage made point of attending all dir
ectors meetings and was careful to col
lect the $40 fee on each occasion. For him
to forego that harmless satisfaction.
therefore, was regarded as meaning his
health really wasn't equal to active part
icipation in affairs any longer.
Mr.. Sage still has a good deal to give
up in the way OF directorships. He is a
director of the Abba & Centreville Rail
way Company of which he Is also vice
president and treasurer; American Tele-
graph & Cable Company. American Union

when he was supreme court justice and
when he was mayor. When domestic
trouble arose, Mr.. Van Wyck proved to
be one of the most sympathetic of all
Mrs. Hertle's friends. Mrs. Hertle got
her divorce in 1905. The evidence was
taken before referee and remains secret
to this day. The name of the correspond
ent was said to be fictitious.
Van Wyck is one of the politicians who
went into office a poor man and came
out rich. Some say his fortune now
amounts to 100000. In 1869 Mr.. Van
WyclS was a 12-aweek clerk. Three years
later he got law degree at Columbia
Law School. Then he went into Tamma-
ny Hail. In 1880 he transferred his al
legiance to the county democracy, but in
1886 he returned to Tammany a wiser and
sadder man. Croker became his spon-
scr and he was elected Judge of the city
court in 1885, which paid him $4,000 a
year. The Tammany contribution fund
got much of it. In 1885 he was not only
reelected but made chief justice. Then
Croker placed him at the head of the
ticket in 1897 for the first mayoralty con-
test in Greater New York. He will take
his bride to Paris to live.
