Illinois Firm Says n Conspiracy Exists
Between Railroads, Iniuring
ITS Business.

CHICAGO, Jan. AR r. Shisl 4 Co
OF Kankakee, ILL.,, a stock shipping con-
Germ. today charged before the Interstate
Commerce commission that nine railroads
have conspired to ruin their business by
charging excessive freight rates. The
roads named in the petition are the Illinois
Central, Chicago & Alton, Chicago, Bur-
iinston a Quincy, Indiana, Illinois a Iowa,
Lake Shore & Michigan Southern, New
York Central, Boston & Albany, Delaware,
Lackawana & Western and Lehigh VAL
ley.
1t is charged by Shiel & Co. that a con-
spiracy has been in existence among the
roads named since May Q, 1904, with the
effect that Shiel a Co. have been forced
to accept the alternative OF paying ex-
| cesrive rates or SO out of business en-
| tirely.
1t was claimed to the commission by the
attorneys for the shiel company that be-
cause OF geographical position of Kanka-
kee the company Is able TO save sixty miles
OF hauling and twelve hours OF time in
the transportation of stock to eastern pack
| ing houses. 1t was charged that the con-
| spiracy among the railroads which the
| shiel company claims TO exist was directed
at 1t alone and that the roads had singled

made affecting shipments from Kankakee

Cairo and Evansville, Ind, it was declared

The railroads defended their action In
making the rate from Kankakee on the
ground that in sorting stock at Kankakes

In the bill in committee of the whole after
the house had divided many times on every
pretext which Minority Leader Williams
could make the cause of vote. When the

posed. was finally finished late in the day,
a demand for a separate vote and roll call
on that amendment was made and ordered
at which time the house adjourned.
The vote will occur as the first business
tomorrow.
The amendment was ruled out of the
bill on point of order on Tuesday. and
Its insertion today was effected under the
provisions of a special rule brought in by
the rules committee for that purpose. A
roll call was had on the previous question
on the rule, which was a test vote, and
IT was carried by 1853 TO IS, the democrats

A MIDSUMMER IDYL.

We are between solistice and equinox
and in the very height OF summers

great and the temperature at times runs
high, and sweltering humanity prays for
surcease OF humid conditions, but from
the standpoint OF the weather man the
heat is by no means abnormal. and
few days OF II will not harm us, but
teach us rather to more strongly appre-
ciate the cooler wave when IL comes
again. Repetition OF blessings oft brings
safety OF appreciation and humanity IL
prone to complain.
All nature is I'm the height or Its glory
and the passing train Of its manifold

of impending decay. This will come later.
