10 PROSECUTE ROADS.
Government Working Up Cases for
Paying Rebates to Standard Oil.

Chicago. June 9.-Preparation has
begun for the prosecution of several of
the railroads entering Chicago on the
charge of paying rebates or granting
Standard Oil company. J. T. March,
and, special attorney for the inter-
state commerce commission was here
the other day consulting with District
Attorney Morrison about this matter.
Attorney Morrison recently returned
from Washington and is said to have
received instructions from Attorney
General Moody to prepare a case
against the railroads which were
shown in the Garfield report to have
made Illegal rates to the Standard Oil
company out of Whiting.
New data on this score have also
been obtained by the interstate COM
merce commission in it's investigation
of the relations between the railroads
and the Standard Oil company. In the
Garfield report there is direct accu-
satiOn against the Alton railroad of
paying rebates, and other roads which
spired with the Standard Oil company
to discriminate in favor of the oil trust
are the Eastern Illinois and the ILL.,
nois Central.
At the Cleveland hearing of the in
terstate commerce commission it de-
veloped that the Lake Shore road used
device of giving excessive mileage
to the Standard Oil tank cars as a
means of paying rebates. Some evil
dence, too has been secured against
the Santa Fe and other railroads
AS far as the interstate commerce
commission is concerned, 1t is said tina.
one of its aims is to break up the rats
making associations like the Central
Freight association. That prosecu-
ton will begin against the railroads
in the association, including all the
roads operating between Chicago and
Buffalo, is practically certain. It was
clearly shown by the testimony Of
traffic men. and it was shown also by
the admissions which were made re-
luctantly by Joseph Tucker, chair
man of the Central Freight associate
that the railroads conspire together in
the making of practically every freight
rate in this territory. and that as
result of these associations there Is
no such thing as a competitive rate
any more.

HE SCORES AT Hills PLANS.
Mostly Talk. Says Sir William c. van
Horne.

Horne.
Sir William c. Van Horne. chairman
OF directors of the Canadian Pacific
railway, has expressed the opinion that
there was much more talk than actual
work about the much discussed Hill
lines in Western Canada He was not
inclined to accept seriously the an
nouncement that James J. Hill means
to build new line all the way from
Winnipeg to the Pacific coast.
The plans that I have heard talked
about, Sir William said, ARE hardly
plans which I should think Mr. Hill
would seriously consider. What all the
talk is about l do not know and cannot
guess. / presume, however, that MI.
Hill has certain plans for branch lines
IN the Canadian Northwest, and his
talk about Winnipeg and other places
may be for the purpose of gaining their
support.
Mr. Hill would hardly give a bond to
secure the carrying out of what he is
promising Methods OF this kind have
been pursued by railway men ever since
railways were first built In any event
the interests of the Canadian Pacific
will not be seriously affected
The branch lines which Mr. Hill and
his associates are now building in the
CANADIAN Northwest are being con-
structed by the Vancouver, Victoria &
Eastern, which was authorized last
year to build a line in Canada by the
Canadian parliament. The main line
of the system which Mr. Hill has an
nounced he intends to build is to run
from Winnipeg, in Manitoba, westward
through the provinces of Assinibola
and Alberta and through British Col
umbia to the Pacific coast
The route is recently outlined. is to
run north of the Canadian Pacific line
for considerable distance, but to the
Westward was to cross the Canadian
Pacific'S right of way. Sir Williams
statement indicates that he considers
1t highly improbable that this new
Winnipeg-Pacific coast line will be
built
Sir Williams occupies in the Canadian
railroad world a place of prominence
practically equal to that of Mr.. Hill
lam has been one of the urine movers
of the upbuilding of the Canadian Pa
CHIC, Which has been branching out in
many directions and which has been
seeking to develop the rich agricultural
lands in central western Canada. The
further development of this section and
of the rich mineral area to the west
ward is the avowed purpose of Mr.. Hill
IN undertaking the building of 100
miles of railway from the Pacific coast
TO the foot of Lake Winnipeg.
Sir Williams intimation that all that
Mr.. Hill desires are certain branch lines
presumably to act as feeders for his
Great Northern system, is at variance
with Mr.. HIPS own statements taht
these lines in Canada are to be con-
structed as an enterprise entirely dis
tinet from the Great Northern So far
from being only branch lines, Mr.. Hill
has said that his Canadian plans call
for an Independent system that will
help to develop a territory which needs
much better railroad facilities than it
now has
