IN SPOTLESS TOWN

The Herald yesterday editorially
called attention to the condition of
certain downtown streets and suggest
ed that 1t was important to have a
house-cleaning before the week of May
Z. in order that the Shriners and Wis
itors generally might find us appreci-
ative OF their visit.
Quick response was made to this
suggestion of the Merchants and
Manufacturers association, which yes
terday issued an address to the public
designating Saturday, May 5, as a
general house-cleaning day." and re-
questing every man, woman and child
to "see that all rubbish is removed
from alleys and vacant lots and that
the properties occupied by the people
be put in q perfectly clean condition"
This address Is timely and it should
have cordial support and cooperation.
Let everybody do a little work, and a
large work will be easily accom-
plished
In the meantime, and also at the
same time, Street Superintendent Han
ley and the board of public works have
promised to set going the necessary
official machinery that will accomplish
the city's part in cleaning up the pub
lie streets
Let us all work together as The
Herald said yesterday, land sweep
every thoroughfare until 1t shines like
spotless town."

PORATlONS
Officials Accuse Packers of Cheating
by Misuse of Bills of Lading.
Western Pacific Gets
Franchise
BY Associated Press.

ny ASSGCldleu IIGS5.
CHICAGO, April 17.-Chicago officials
openly charge that the big packing
corporations for years have been cheat
ing the railroads by misstating the
character of the goods they were ship
ping and by shipping heavier packages
than the bills of lading called for.
Other big shippers in the east also
are doing things that have helped to
diminish the revenue which the rail-
roads ought to have received.
1t has been estimated by the rail-
roads that the packers alone beat the
eastern roads out of $150,00O a year.
What they owe all the railroads out of
Chicago is problematical, but it is esti-
mated at $5,000,000.
The railway men say they have
known all these things for years and
in a way have demonstrated with the
packers and other companies which
were cheating them, but within the
past few weeks they have made a de-
termined effort to bring about a great
reform, and they intimate strongly
that unless the shippers make restitu-
tion there will be a grand expose before
the interstate commerce commission.

NEW YORK, April 17.-Joseph Powers
was dozing in a rocking chair at his
home this morning shortly after mid
night, when matronly woman, tenn
porary member of the household, en-
tered the room and whispered in his
ear. He put on his hat wrongside out
and ran down the stairs three steps at
a time, pulled several doorbells out by
the roots and then called up police head
quarters to ask for assistance and ad-
vice. The sergeant caught the words
alarm, hurry and physician"
Fire headquarters got word of a still
alarm, police were told to hurry out
reserves and Bellevue had been asked
for an ambulance surgeon.
Within five minutes things began
happening in the neighborhood of the
home of Joseph Powers. Two fire en-
gines and a water tower deployed III
front of the house. Helmeted men ran
about hoarsely shouted. -Four police
men came up on run, raped ON the
