RAILWAY RATE FARCE

The Republican managers In tn,
senate promise that next week the cur
tain shall drop on the last act Of III,
railway rate farce. II Is expected tina
the voting stage will be reached
May ~.
The bill as passed by the house hal
been so patched with senate amend
ments that the final vote may be de-
layed day or two. when It Is SCI
up before the senate as target for tn,
votes IL will resemble It's original shap,
about as much as a spring feshlor
plate resembles a soarecrow
The Republican machine managers II
congress are nearing the end of a most
adroit scheme to pull wool over the
eyes of the American people, The
measure Of their success will be dis.
closed next week unless they see cause
for changing the program now an
nounced. The present outlook for sue
cess is favorable The people asked
for an effective railway rate BILL and
after months Of palaver the Repub-
lican managers are about to hand out
a sort of gold brick imitation. The
situation recalls Christ's inquiry, III
a son shall ask bread of any of you
that is a father, will he give him a
stone; or II he ask a fish, will he for
a fish give him a serpent?"
1t never was the purpose of the Re-
publican machine leaders in congress
to permit the passage of a rate bill
satisfactory to the people. They did
not dare, however, to openly oppose the
almost universal popular demand for
such a bill. Long practice had taught
them that congressional measure.
like the victim of thugs, can be killed
as easily with chloroform as with a
club. The former process may take
longer but 1t leaves fewer traces that
might lead to detection.
1t was part of the scheme. obviously,
to quiet public opinion by permitting a
satisfactory rate bill to pass the house
without much pretense of opposition.
But the situation changed when the
bill reached the senate. There the
real purpose began to show through
the disguise by the beginning of dila-
tory tactics and the patchwork of
amendments.
And now, with the end finally in
sight, the promise is given out that
the senate will pass the rate bill. 1t
will pass a rate bill, as now appears
almost certain, that will be about as
effective in regulating railway rates
as cigar store Indian would be in
scalping scene.
The very heart of the original rate
bill will be cut out by amendment
making decisions of the interstate COM
merce commission amenable to review
by the lower United States courts.
Just what form that amendment will
take is a present secret of the ma
chine managers. 1t is enough to
know, as evidence of its sinister pur-
pose, that the great railway magnates
appear to be well satisfied with the
prospect.
The American people asked for
bread and they will receive a stone
imitation loaf.

A HYBRID IN HARNESS

BY means of two male zebras, inn
ported from Abysslnia as the gift of
King Menelik and which are now at the
National Geological park in Washing
ton, the department of agriculture
hopes to make this country a new
beast of burden-a cross between the
zebra and the horse. Experiments in
this direction by the French authori-
ties at Paris have been very successful
The hybrid is smaller than the horse. 1t
is an exceedingly tough and wiry ami
NAL and VIII be suited to the warmer
sections of the United States. The his
tory Of the American mule is suggestive
of the possibilities of the zebra A cen-
tury ago the mule was very scarce
animal in the United States. Wash
ington had done much TO direct at
tention to his merits and had loaned
the services of a large Spanish Jack,
presented to him by the king OF Spain.
But the mule did not become popular
until well into the century. At our
last census, however, we had NEARLY
three million mules with taxable value
Of $3.50, 100000. The possibilities from
the two zebras are immense-they may
combine with the donkey and back into
the horse and thus introduce entirely
new strains.--COuntry Life IN America

AGAIN INVOLVED IN LAW
SUIT.
Bill Filed Against Cline Ex-

and Conspiracy.

Word has been received in

! G, Orge L. Cline, formerly of Fred.

years ago, is to he again in olved
i'll a law suit. The estate accord

certain requests had been paid.
was to be divided into four shares.
one going to Mrs. Mary Yeakle
and one to Nicholas Cline. sister
aud brother of the deceased in
Frederick. Two relatives in the
west were also beneficiaries.
After considerable legal en-
tanglement, which has been going
on in the Chicago courts since the
will was probated, bill has just
been filed in the Circuit Court of
that city to wrest the site of Gary,
Ind, from the United States Steel
Corporation, which purchased the
site from the three trustees of the
estate, of which former Mayor
AqHilla r. Yeakle, Of Frederick,
son OF Mrs. Mary Yeakle, is one.
The bill charges fraud and cou.
spiracy and is filed IN behalf of
Walletta May Yeakle, IA year old
niece of Ex- Mayor Yeakle, who
lives in Lincoln, Ill.
1t Is charged that Miss Yeakle
knew nothing of the probating of
the will and in the extensive sales
of real estate she was represented
by counsel, whom she had never
seen or engaged. The amount of
the real estate transaction is over
half a million dollars.
MIR. William Richie, formerly
at Frederick, is attorney for Miss
Yeakle. Edwin A. Wartield, one
of the three executors, asserts
that the cont oversy is not one
which should involve the estate,
but he directed against the estate
of Mrs. Mary Yeakle, grandmother
of Miss Walletta May Yeakle aud
sister of the dead millionaire.
lie asserts that the trustees
have done their part by turning
Mrs. Yeakle's portion over to her
executor. and that the contest
should be made against him.
Miss Yeakle, he says. was bene-
ficiary Of her grandmother's will
to the extent of 1000, and the
remainder, including a quarter of
the Cline millions, was willed to
her son, Aqnilla Il. Yeakle, of
Frederick.
