BOLD HOLDUP IN BROAD
DAYLIGHT YESTERDAY.
Highawayman Got a Watch and
Rings from Three Men
Was Later Captured.

PLAINFIELD, Aug. 25.-Joseph
Collins of nowhere" as he express
ed it, held up three men at the muz-
zle of a revolver in the Motherhood
section of this city at noon yesterday
and forced them to give up their
valuables. He got a watch and three
rings, making his victims put them
on the ground in front of him while
he kept them covered with the wea-
pom. When the iewelry had been
transferred to his pocket, he turned
and fed, making for the Watching
mountain range back of the city.
The three men, Cornelius Smith,
Russell Decamp, and William Brown,
hurried to the nearest telephone and
notified police headquarters. In a few
minutes a dozen policemen mounted
on bicycles were in pursuit, but near
ly three hours had elapsed before Pa
trolman John Dodson caught the di-
rect trail.
Shortly afterward he saw his man
on the back porch of the house of
John r. Mcmahon at Scotch Plains,
where he had stopped to beg a meal.
He threw up his hands as soon as
Dodson aimed a pistol at him and
submitted to arrest. A loaded revol-
yer and the stolen watch were taken
from his pockets. The rings were
found in his shoes.

THE RAILROADS
ARE INDICTED.
New York Central Accused of
FaVOring Standard OiI-GOt
One Hundred Counts.

JAMESTOWN, n. Y, Aug. 25.-The
New York Central Railroad company
was indicted by the western New York
federal grand jury on a charge of Civ
ing discriminating and unlawful
freight rates on shipments of oil by
the Standard Oil company and of IN
lawfully failing to file a schedule of
such rates with the interstate COM
merce commission at Washington. The
Standard Oil company was again in
dicted on a charge of accepting I'M
lawful and discriminating freight rates
on shipments of oil over the Pennsyl-
vunia, the New York Central and the
Vermont Central railroads.
The indictments are closely related
to those found by the same jury two
weeks ago against the Standard Oil
company and the Pennsylvania in the
matter of discriminating rates for oil
shipped by the Standard from Olean
to Burlington, VT, All of such ship
ments were oyer the Pennsylvania
from Clean to Rochestc1; over the New
York Central from Rochester to Nor
wood, n. Y, and over the Vermont
Central from Norwood to its destina-
ton.
The latest indictment specifies that
the New York Central made a special
rate to the Standard from Rochester
TO Norwood of 8 cents per hundred
weight, while such rates were not
given to other shippers, nor was a
schedule of the same filed with the in
terstate commerce commission. The
charges were embraced in one count.
In the indictment against the Stand
ard Oil company returned there
were 1913 counts, each count relating to
a separate and distinct shipment of oil
over this route, all at rates approXi-
mating 10 cents per hundredweight.
while rates for similar shipments from
Bradford, Warren, Oil City and Titus
vile, Pa, to Vermont were 80 cents
per hundredweight. These shipments,
it is alleged, were under substantially
the same conditions, while the alleged
determinations accepted by the Stand
ard Oil company of more than 10 cents
per hundredweight were out of all pro-
portion to reason and fairness, consid-
ering the additional distance from the
Pennsylvania towns to Vermont.
The indictments were accepted by
Judge Hazel, and the jury was dis
charged with the thanks of the court.
