Appropriation of 1000 to the
Reid Memorial Hospital is
Authorized and Matter Will
Go to Courts.
MAYOR WILL ORDER THE
CONTROLLER NOT TO PAY
Councilmen Express Them
selves as Not Wanting to do
Anything Illegal, but They
Want to Support Hospital.

By the unanimous vote of its ten
members, the city council of Rich
mond last night passed the appropria-
ton ordinance which included one
item giving $4,000 to Reid Memorial
Hospital. This specific appropriation
had met with the disapproval of May
or Schillinger, who had exercised his
veto power in regard to it, and coun-
ell, as had been anticipated, promptly
passed the measure over his head.
The matter was disposed OF In very
short order, the debate occupying but
little time.
When Clerk Taggart called mp the
ordinance, Councilman Henry Deuker
from the Second Ward, made motion
that the veto of the mayor be not sus-
tanned. Councilman Will Bartel of
fered a second to the motion. May
or Schillinger at this juncture said:
Gentlemen of the council, you can
pass this hospital appropriation over
my veto if you desire. / do not care.
My duty will be to order the city con-
troller not to pay the amount. In
this matter I do not consider my likes
or dislikes particle They ought
not and are not to enter into such an
important matter. When / took the
oath of office as mayor of Richmond

laws of the State of Indiana. The

clear violation of them. That is all

alton is voted, well and good"
Study Declares 1t Illegal.
City Attorney Study also added to-
his past declarations regarding the
alleged illegality of the procedure He
said he had no doubt in the world that
a city hospital was a good thing and
that Richmond needed such an institu-
ton, but he believed. in fact. he was
positive, he said, that the statutes
would not permit Of such an appropri-
alton.
On the call for a vote on the motion
Councilman Deuker, before declaring

which he himself had made, said that

PAUL MORTON AND REBAr1NG

In the January installment of his
series of articles on the railroad ques-
ton in McClure's Magazine, Ray STAN
nard Baker makes some very strong,
positive statements, particularly re-
garding the payment of rebates to the
beef trust. Here is one of them:
Armour received rebates long be-
fore the private car came to great i'm
portance. At first, and until very re-
Gently. as I showed in a former article,
it was a crude payment Of cash. Let
me give a single example. The true
published rate on dressed beef (for
export) from Omaha to Chicago, for
a long time was twenty-three and ono
half cents per hundred weight That
is what you and I would have to PAN
if we shipped. But Armour paid only
eighteen and one-half cents. some
times only sixteen cents. He wan
given an advantage of from five to
eight cents on every hundred
pounds shipped perfectly mon
strous amount. This is no hasty or
unsubstantial charge. All the facts
regarding these rebates are set down
in sworn testimony given before the
interstate commerce commission. Sew
eral railroad officials not only admit
ted that they paid rebates but that
they even signed contracts to pay
them. Paul Morton, the vice presi-
dent of the Santa Fe railroad. a frank
witness, testified that he made a con-
tract dated June 80, 1901, and he said
with a boldness little short of amaze
ment:
&c Yes sir. it is an illegal contract. It
was illegal when We made It. and we
knew that.
But the Santa Fe was not alone in
giving rebates; many other roads did
the same thing. c. J. Grammer. gen
eral traffic manager of the Lake Shore
railroad not only testified to paying
rebates. but told in detail how the
secret accounts were settled A c.
Bird. of the Milwaukee railroad
Mitchell of the Michigan Central. and

illegal rebates to the beef trust firms
