NEW LIGHT SHED
DISCUSSION OF REBATES AND
PRIVATE CARS.
NC CREA BEFORE COMMISSION
Favors Publicity Of Rating the Rating
Of Mines and Distribution Of Cars
Chief Clerk Boyer Walks the Plank
for Transgresslons.


PHILAOELPHIA--Ne light was
shed on the motives leading to the
abolition OF freight rebates by the
railroads waen James McCrea, first
vloe-president of the Pennsylvania com.
pany, appeared before the Interstate
Commerce commission. Mr.. McCrea
favored publicity of the rates Of mines
and the distribution of cars. He sur
prised the commissioners by announc-
ing that for nearly two years and up
to the time OF President Cassatt's re-
cent departure for Europe the Board
OF Directors of the Pennsylvania rail-
road, OF which he is a member had
been considering means for eliminat-
ing the private car. He declared that
the company has concluded that the
use of these cars Is unwise. Towards
the conclusion of his testimony Attor-
ney Glasgow asked Mr.. McCrea when
President Cassatt decided to stop re-
batting.
"Just rs soon as he got control of
the Pennsylvania railroad, that was in
1885," said Mr.. McCrea
He declared that the directors of
other roads were pleased with the idea
of abolishing it when the subject was
brought to their attention. Mr.. Nc
Crea admitted finally that the rebating
stopped when the community OF inter
ests plan started. He asserted that
the shipper was never so fairly treated
as now. He has stable rates and Is
placed in fair position with his com
petitors.
There were other interesting devel-
opments during the session. which was
protracted until o'clock.
s. #. Potter, president of the Don
oboe Coal and Coke company. charged
that the Pennsylvania railroad had
sracticed gross discrimination In the
distribution OF cars to his company.
One car a day was his allotment for
seven months, he declared
Joseph Boyer, the Pennsylvania rail
road employee, who testified before the
Interstate Commerce commission to
having received large sums Of money
and other gratuites from producers OF
coal on the Pennsylvania lines, was
dismissed from the service of the
company.
When the matter was brought to the
attention OF President Cassatt he d.
rected the immediate discharge Of
Boyer.
Boyer in his testimony said that he
had accepted more than $4,000 from
coal mining companies during period
of three years. He was chief clerk
in the Office of A. w. Gibbs, superin-
tendent OF motive power of the Penn
sylvania Railroad company and pur-
chased the fuel coal used in the loco
motives Of the company. The donors
he said were five different coal com
panies which furnish coal to the rail
road.

STONE TOPS THE LIST
st. Louis Player Best Batter
in American League.
LAJOIE THREE POINTS BEHIND
washington Team Led by Charley
hickman, with Wakefield Second
and Anderson Third-LIst OF Men
Over the 300 Mark Is SmaII-The
Officiai Averages for Past Season.

George Stone, Of the st. Louis Browns,
is the heaviest hitter IN the American
League. The official averages credit him
with POS hits in 154 games. which gives
him an average OF .S5S for the season.
Mig Clarke, the gingery little catcher
Of the Cleveland Club, also has a per-
centage of .S5S. but inasmuch as he
played in only ffty-seven games. his
work must not be compared with one
who passed through the season In such a
high batting stride as Stone Lajoie, who
has held the premier honors, was unable
TO catch the St. Louis slugger Perhaps
the enforced lay-off in 1905 had something
TO do with Lajoie's batting eye, Anyhow,
ne could not overhaul Stone. although he
made six hits more than his rival Stone
was a better waiter and, Of course. was
charged with fewer times at bat.
Charley Hickman is the honor man
among the Washington players. Although
he could not pound out the hits last year
that he has in other seasons, his mark
of .2S4 is as good under the foul strike
rule as 800 or better was under the old
batting conditions, when fouls did not
figure at all. Wakefield batted go, and
next came John Anderson with .271. The
others are strung out in tht list from
Lave Cross down 10 Case Patten.

MACKEY EASY FOR BARR.
Washington Wrestler Is Outweighed
by the GrappIer from the West.

Eddie Barr, of Cincinnati, last night
won wrestling match from Rob Roy
Mackey in the Washington Light
Infantry Armory before about 200 en-
thusiasts.
The match was at catch weights. to a
finish When the men stepped on the
mat it was evident that Barr was at
least fifteen pounds heavier than
Mackey, although he did not appear
to be in condition.
With the big difference in weight,
Mackey chose TO work on the defensive,
and gave Barr all the work he needed
to gain a fall in thirty-seyen minutes.
After an intermission Of ten minutes
the pair went on again, and Mackey
was thrown in one minute
While the match between Barr and
Mackey was the chief attraction, that
between Jack Spaulding and Cleve
Beckett was the most interesting of the
evening Jack had the experience, while
Beckett had the strength.
In the preliminaries Young Hoover
put Ernest Guys shoulders TO the mat
twice Guy won the first fall. but could
not keep up his good work in the last
two
P. F. O'Connor refereed the Mackey-
Barr bout, and Joe Turner handled the
preliminaries.
