CHARGED WITH REBATING.
The Chicago and Alton Railroad and
Two of Its Former OMlcia1S
on Trial in Chicago.


Chicago, July 3.-John N. Faithorr
and Fred A. Wann, former officials
of the Chicago & Alton railroad, and
the Chicago & Alton railroad were
placed on trial Monday in the United
States district court on the charge OF
granting illegal rebates to the
Schwarzschlld & Sulzberger Packing
company Of this city.
A jury was secured In a short time
and the court was informed that the
counsel in the case had agreed upon
the facts covered in the first eight
counts Of the indictments and that
only small amount of evidence will
be necessary under the remaining two
counts.
The indictments charge the defend
ants with granting a rebate of 81 on
very car Of meat shipped from its
plant in Kansas City. The defend
ants claim that the money was paid
for another purpose. The last two
counts Of the indictments charge that
the employees Of the packing company
were carried by the railroad free Of
charge, because after purchasing tick
cts in the regular way they would be
given receipts, and later the amount
would be returned by the railroad
to Schwarzschild & Sulzberger and
that this constituted a rebate. p

SPEED OF THE WRECKED TRAIN.
Boston Man Wanted to Pull the Bell
COrd-NOvel Theory ExDlain-
ing Disaster. b..

London, July 3.-The London news
papers Tuesday morning again keenly
discuss the causes Of the disaster to
the Plymouth express train and the
rumors Of speed competition. Great
attention is devoted to the evidence Of
George A. Strachan, of Boston, Mass,
in a published interview, to the effect
that the speed Of the train was so
great that he had strong inclination
to pull the alarm cord, but that on the
advice Of friends he refrained from
doing SO.
According to the Standard. the
American consul at Southampton, Mr.
Swain, made the novel suggestion,
based on the fact that high speed pro-
duces cushion Of compressed air in
front Of swiftly moving train, that
this air resistance between the engine
and the houses rising above the bridge
may have been sufficient to raise the
front Of the engine slightly and cause
II to leave the rails on the curve.

H. Cossitt's body already has been for
warded to London on its way to Amer
lea. The inquest Monday was a pro.
onged and tedious Formally which ut
terly failed to give any idea Of the
cause of the accident. No questions
IN that point were asked and the sub
lect seemed to be avoided-a strange
proceeding to the many Americans
present, but which is thought to be
lue to the queer Journalism that seems

The proceedings were sol.
smn, sad and monotonous, so much so
hat spectators surprised a Juror by
asking what necessity there was to
adjourn the inquest for a fortnight.
No answer was given. The delay is
believed to be due to the declared in
ention Of the board of trade to insti-
ute an investigation.
1t seems strange to Americans that

FIGURING OUT COST
Representative Tawney, Chairman
ofCommittee on Appropriations,
Makes a Statement.
neutrality-suspicious.


Washington, July 3.-Representa
tive Tawney, chairman of the houst
committee on appropriations, has pre-
pared a detailed statement concerning
the appropriations for the fiscal veal
beginning July /, 1906. made by con-
gress during the session just closed
In which he claims that the per capita
cost of government in the United
States, including federal and state, is
less than that in any European coun-
try.
MIR. Tawney enters upon an analysis
to show the various channels into
which the total appropriation Of $3.50,
1S3,301 will be diverted. He begins by
deducting 39,456,415 provided for the
sinking fund for the Panama canal,
etc. showing that the real appropria-
ton for the conduct of the govern
ment for the fiscal year is $74O,726,
1885, To meet this demand he esti-
mates that the total revenues (cus-
toms, internal and postaD will be 1881.
573, 1854.
Mr.. Tawnev comments as follows
I the volume Of the appropriations:
while the expenditures Of our gov
eminent are constantly increasing and
while the appropriations made there
for by congress are in the aggregate
very large, yet when we take them In
to consideration the marvellous growth
Of the country, the extent to which
the people demand that the federal
government shall perform services
that should be paid by the states. none
but the unthinking or misguided who
do not stop to consider the care with
which the estimates for appropriations
for the public service are scrutinized
by the several committees having jur-
isdiction Of appropriation bills can
find any reason to criticise appropria-
tions made during this session Of con-
gress."
In statement made by the demo-
cratic minority, Representative Liv-
ingstone. makes comparison of the
provided for by this
$8SO,1SS, 3O1. with the ex-
penditures of 1898, the first year Of
President McKinley's administration,
when the figures were $528, 735,O79, a
Inference Of 1881, 44S,222. Commenting
IN this showing, he says:
"This growth in appropriations sus-
aims the contention that the republic
AN party stands for extravaganza in
public expenditures in order to use
hat extravaganza as a cloak for their
more Objectionable purpose Of main
aiming a high protective tariff to IA
or the trust combinations of manu-
acturers Of the country.

Washington, July 8. -Secretary VIII.
son, of the department of agriculture
has decided not to enter upon his an
nual vacation until he has completed
the organization necessary to put into
operation the new meat inspection
law. He will give practically his en-
tire time to this work for the next
two months. The new pure food law
also will require attention but he In

DR.. H. W. Wiley, chief of the bureau
Of chemistry. BY direction Of the
president, Secretary Wilson Monday
issued the following statement:
american livestock are the health
lest in the world. The great ranges
Of the west produce herds of cattle
IN which the percentage Of disease is
remarkably small and the federal gov
eminent is steadily reducing, by ap-
proved scientific methods, this small
percentage. The inspection of the
animals before and at the time Of
slaughter has alweys been thorough,
Il Is true that the department of agri-
culture has heretofore lacked the
power and money to provide for an
eficient supervision and sanitation
Of the methods Of preparation Of
canned meat food products.
"The legislation which has Just be-
come effective provides the depart
ment of agriculture with an adequate
law and with ample money to carry
It into effect.
Supervision and inspection will be
extended from the pasture to the
package. The federal stamp upon
the can will be guarantee not only
Of the healthfulness Of the animal but
also that the product was prepared
n sanitary surroundings, and with
the addition Of no deleterious chem
ical or preservative, any meat food
product bearing the government
stamp win be At for food.
with this law in operation It may
be accepted as a fact that for health
iulness and purity the prepared or
canned product win compare favor
ably with the fresh meats Of the
Omitted States, which Is. and always
has been the finest in the world.
''The new law Is comprehensive,

INDIAN CORN AS FOOD FOR MAN.
Bulletin of the Maine Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station.

AS food for man. wheat must forever
retain the prominence which it has 81
long held But man Graves variety and
should make generous use VI tn" other
cereal foods which d bcn%tict Mt nature
has placed within his reach. OF thu half
dozen cereals now generally cultivated IN
this country corr easily ranks second.
The experience of oul early roloniSti
demonstrated the excellence oa this CO
real and even its ability under necessity
tc replace wheat. New that IN" latter
grain is so universally grown. there seems
t. be a disposition to eat less and less
corn. This tendency is probably due In
part to the widespread belief that corn
is much less easily tiiceSted than wheat.
There is reason for believing that corn
when properly cooked is not far from
wheat In this respect
A series Of experiments recently mode
at the Maine Agricultural Experiment
Station furnish evidence i'm favor of corn.
While tins cereal is not in itself as com
plete food as wheat. it may be SO com
hined with other foods rs to maintain
the proper balance between the food con-
stituents.
Bulletin No. 131 Just published by the
Station contains analyses Of corn meal

toned. and general discussion of the
subject. Copies of this bulletin will be
