CLASH EXPECTED
OVER RATE BILL
GREAT LEGAL CONFLICT BE
TWEEN THE RAILROADS AND
THE COMMISSIONERS
President Ripley of the Santa Fe Talks
of the Situation-Not Violating Any
Particular Spirit of the Elkins or
Hepburn Laws.

Chicago, Aug. ga tremendous le-
gal conflict between the vested rail-
road interests Of the United States and
the interstate commerce commission,
as result of the new rate bill which
went into effect at midnight last night
is predicted today in railroad circles.
Impossible to Obey.
President E. p Ripley of the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway
system voiced the keynote of the i'm
pending clash when he said: 1--WE are
not violating in any particular the
spirit of the Elkins or Hepburn acts,
but it will be physical impossibility
for us to obey the letter of the law in
every particular. The members of con-
gress who drafted and approved the
interstate commerce act were almost
wholly ignorant of the railroad busi-
ness.
"The commission requires that we
shall post in conspicuous place for
the benefit of shippers the adjusted
tariffs and extra charges for switch
ing, refrigerating, elevator charges,
| etc.
IF we were to comply with that
provision 1t would take all eternity to
compile the figures and make book
hundred times the size of Webster's
unabridged dictionary. That shows
how much our lawmakers understand
the difficulty under which we labor"
''Will the new law which went into
effect today guarantee uniformity in
rates and benefit the small shippers p
was asked.
Power to the Commission.
Eyes, am sure it will. In cases OF
complaint on the part of the shipper
the interstate commerce commission is
empowered to fix the freight rate at
an equitable figure. In the event OF
injustice, Of course the railroad off.
cials will use every lawful means in
their power to combat such adjust
4 ments.''
i Does that signify the likelihood Of
a great amount IS litigation2"
\ ut does il efforts are made to com
pei the railroads to carry commodities
at less than fair and equitable rate
/ Mr.. Ripley was asked whether the
interstate commerce commission hat
not acted in fair and nonpartisar
manner in the past. He expressed him
self as OF the belief that their deci
sions during the last five years haG
been anything but favorable to the
railroads. On the other hand, he stat
ed the railroads themselves had Otter
gone into the courts with unrighteou.
causes and been deservedly beaten.

Catches Kept In, Close Confinement
While Others Are Run Down.
Calm, Mich, Aug. 29.-Two arrests
have been made in connection with the
murder Of Lloyd A. Dynes, night opera
tor for the Michigan Central at Galien.
The suspects are being held in close
confinement, while other clews are be-
ing run down.
Letters found in. Dynes' trunk may
furnish motive for the killing. That
Dynes had an affair with woman is
evident.
"A month ago two shots were fired
through the station window, narrowly
missing Dynes. Since that he had kept
a loaded revolver by his side.
Dynes, although one Of the best op
orators in the employ Of the Michigan
Central. and as such entitled to much
better position, preferred Galien. De
spite the fact that the salary is lower
than at other points more desirable
Dynes asked for the position.

SIOUX CITY AFTER GRAIN TRADE,
Terminal Elevator to be Erected and
Railroads Pledge Support.

Sioux City. Aug. 29.-The business
interests of Sioux City have determine.
ed to make this grain market. The
Chicago railroads have pledged their
support in the matter of rates, and an
arrangement has been made for the
operation of terminal elevator, which
will be erected by the business men at
a cost of 100000. The local banks
have agreed to take $4,000 in bonds.
and the remaining $4,000, in stock,
will be held by Sioux City business
men. The territory tributary to Sioux
City contains the richest grain coun-
try in the world, and it is believed that
the erection of terminal elevator will
mean much to the city's future pros
perity.

Members Disobey PASTORS Mandates
Aaainst MorIdIiness.

Sioux City, Aug. 2s.-Rev. George
Soltau has turned his back on the
First Baptist church, of which he has
been pastor for year, because it's
members have refused to renounce the
world and follow his commands.
When Mr. Soltau accepted the call to
the church he told the members he
would stay only so long as they obeyed
the rules he set down. He forbade all
Sunday amusements and attendance at
dances, lodges or other functions on
prayer meeting night, and made other
rules which went hard. A good many
of the members fell from grace and
Mr. Soltau decided to quit them as in
corrigible. Mr.. Soltau has been an
evangelist working in almost every
part of England and America. He will
make his headquarters in Chicago
hereafter.
