RAILROADS MUST
KEEP NEW BOOKS
COMMISSION WILL REQUIRE
UNIFORM SYSTEM
Western Pacific Rushing Work In the
Sierra - Portland-T Right
Of Way obtalned--GeneraI
Railroad Comment

II Is the intention Of the interstate
commerce commission TO have the new
system of accounting and bookkeeping
go into effect about July 1, 1907, COM
pelling the railroads to have a fiscal
year corresponding with that of the
government.
At present each railroad company
is keeping its accounts in its own way,
the only uniformity that Is required
under the old laws being in the making
of reports to the commission.
Some railroads have been practically
keeping two sets of books, one showing
the real operations of the corporation
and the other making a showing" of
fair dealing with all shippers.
The purpose in requiring a uniform
system of accounts is to prevent the
granting of rebates or the making OF
discriminatory rates as between ship
pers
Under the new rate law 1t will be a
misdemeanor for a railroad to keep any
accounts other than those authorized
by the commission, either under pre-
scribed rules or special permission
granted to cover unusual cases.
The intention of the commission Is
to require the accounts of receipts and
disbursements on account of the vari-
Gus classes of traffic in so clear a man
ner that there will be no getting away
from the conclusions that may be
drawn from a comparison of the diff
ferent items of the accounts.
Not all railroads will be required to
keep Identical books because short
lines will not need as elaborate sys-
tenn as the great trunk lines. But the
same general principles of accounting
will govern the keeping Of all looks.
They must be kept so as to illuminate
the hitherto dark places and show
whether the railroad companies have
been living up to their professions and
the requirements of the law.

FISH GETS THE PROXIES
Hartman and Illinois Central Presi-
dent Come to Terms


BY Associated Press
NEW YORK, July 27.-At a meet
ing of the Illinois Central directors to-
day an understanding was reached be-
tween President Fish and E. H. Harri-
man whereby there will be no contest
for proxies at the coming election in
October
This action was taken through an
agreement on the part of the Harri-
man interests to withdraw a motion
made at the meeting of July Is, asking
for the appointment of a special COM
mittee to solicit proxies from the stock
holders
Under the agreement reached today
it is understood that Mr.. Hartman and
his friends will give their proxies to
Mr. Fish to vote.
The proxies now in the custody of
Mr.. Fish will be voted by him in the
usual manner, and neither Mr.. Harri-
man nor President Peabody Of the
Mutual Life, who has acted as a Har-
riman lieutenant throughout the pro-
ceeding, will renew their efforts to get
proxies on their own account.
There is still a vacancy on the Illinois
Central board. which will be filled in
due time through agreement by both
factions upon fit candidate.
Governor Dineen Attends
The meeting held today was a nota-
BILE one. Under the bylaws the gov
ernor of Illinois is an ex-officio mem
ber Of the board. and because of the
unusual interest in the present con-
dition Of the company Governor Dineen
of that state made a special trip to
this city to attend the meeting.
While neither President Fish nor
Governor Dineen would talk specifically
concerning what was discussed by the
board, 1t was learned definitely re-
specting the proxy committee resolu-
tion that the contending factions in the
board had come to an understanding
whereby the resolution would be
dropped absolutely.
In this way there will be no change
whatever in the Illinois Central man
agement, and the proxies now in con-
troll of the company will be voted in
favor of Mr.. Fish as president.
This ends for the time being, at least,
an important dispute in the Illinois
Central board which threatened at the
last meeting to become a feature Of the
dramatic disturbance

Erie Spending Ten Millions

At a cost of $4,000. 900 the Erie rail-
road will run its trunk line into Cleve-

struction of spurs from Meadville, Pa,
to Cleveland and from Cleveland to
Sterling. The New York Central's lines
are now the only great continental
passenger lines that pass directly
through Cleveland. Other systems tap
Cleveland by branch lines connecting
with trunk lines farther south. The

MILLIONAIRE WILLIAM f. COREY

That William Ellis Corey, for all
his S15,OOO-a-year salary and unassail-
able position as president of the Unit

vorced and socially ostracised, is due
to his disregarding his own tenet that
if good, old fashioned American CON-
mon sense were oftener employed,
there would be less trouble in the
world-business or other kind.
But Corey became infected with the
Pittsburg microbe, which incites the

else, and do various weirdy erratic
things.

buy. The flowers and fruits were all
out of season, because they cost mroe,
the walters wore colonial costumes

Before this Mr.. Corey had figured

Gilman was in Pittsburg in the

He made several unsuccessful at

opportunity came one Friday night,
when there was a swimming party

Diversion of Statesman Round the

New York. July 81 William J.
Bryan amused himself on his way
homeward from the far east by writ
ing book which will be published
soon by Mcclure, Phillips & Co., un-
der the title, "Letters to a Chinese

called "Letters From Chinese Of

pressing the views of Chinese, com

those of the land of Confucius.
Mr.. Bryan was in China at the time
the latter book was brought to his
attention and because he felt that
the case against the people had been
overstated. and too glowing pie

fairs in the Celestial Empire, he took
pains to prepare himself to reply.
In the preface of his book, which
he wrote at Suez, in quarantine, Mr.

Americans recognized a great deal OF

A Slick Bootlegger.

The Durant News furnishes the
story of recent chase after an al
legged bootlegger. The fact that he
was not caught helps to make good
reading matter. Floyd Groner lives
in Sterrett, and Floyd, according to
the ideas of the marshals and the old
er citizens Of Sterrett, is booze ped
dler, with reputation of several
years standing, and he has never been
caught yet. Groner, il will be remem-
bered, was chased by Marshal Sex
ton and posse last Christmas week,
and went out in the cold and the snow
in the middle of the night, with moth
ing on but a determination to get
away. And he got away, and has not
yet been heard of until yesterday,
when Bud Northcott, night watch at
Sterrett, telephoned that the man was
in the town. Sexton Immediately left
for Sterrett, for Sexton is ambitious
in this line, and is desirous of catch
inc those fellows who have fooled the
rest of the force. Groner was in the
big hay barn just this side of Sterrett
and when Marshal Sexton and Bud
Northcott went into the front door,
Groner gracefully cakewalked to the
door, made one of his graceful jack
rabbit maneuvers, kicked a greyhound
out of his path and melted away into
the dim distance like zephyr from
summer breeze, Sexton searched the
surrounding corn fields from one end
to the other, but Floyd had fled.
