the amount as claimed III his petition to
which he was damaged by the railroad
company falling to deliver to different
Kansas City grain firms the full amount
OF the grain consigned by him and ship
PED over that road from Norwich, Kan.
III MS petition Mr.. BOntz alleges that
he was, at the time of the three separate
damages to him. doing business at Nor
wich as the Norwich Mil and Elevator
company; that the railroad company
did not have track scales at that point
as provided by law where the road re-
celves hundred or more cars OF grain,
seed or hay from shippers during one
year, and that the company agreed to
deliver certain amount of grain to
the Grler Grain company, and the COTE,
Lucas & Corkner company. both COM
panies being located at Kansas City, Mo.
He further alleges that the grain was
partly delivered and that he received q
certain amount for it; that upon the
/ three shipments he lost through short
age for which the railroad is the party
responsible, the sum Of S35S.5S
In the petition three causes Of action

leges he suffered a loss OF S1S2S0 upon
the second shipment SI45 and upon the
third shipment loss OF SSO.TS a total
loss Of the amount prayed for in the pc
tition.
The case will decide whether rail-
road company is responsible for loss in
shipment through leaky cars and will
also test the law where the statutes pro-
vide that a company must accept the
sworn figures as to the amount of grain
placed in a car q a station where grain.
hay and feed shipments amount to more
than 100 cars per year, and when they

Brewing company of this city filed its
answer yesterday in the case of the
government, wherein it is charged with
violating the Elkins law in receiving re-
bates. The answer is a general denial
of the allegations contained in the COM

ever confederated with Gustav G. Pabst,
Frederick Pabst or 7. 7. Howe or any
other person or persons whatever TO
contrive or make or operate any device
whatever for evading the provisions of
the EIlxins law and denies that the said
refrigerator company was organized for
the benefit of the brewing company.

B. S. CABLES RAPID RISE.
Barely 30 Years Old. He Is Named a
General Attorney for Rock Island.

Chicago. jar. benjamin S Cable,
son of Ransom r. Gable, former presi-
dent of the Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific railway, has emulated his friend
and classmate Cornelius Vanderbilt, in
winning a notable distinction in the
railroad world while barely thirty years
old. With W. T. Rankin he was ap-
pointed yesterday a general attorney
for the Rock Island.
In railroad circles the appointment
of so young a man as Mr.. Gable to
such an important position was consid-
cred remarka bic. 1t was pointed out,
however, that the new general attor-
nev had gone into the legal depart
mnt of the road as soon as he had
completed his studies at 7 ale and the
Harvard law school and that he had
fairly won his position by virtue Of
hard work
Mr.. Vanderbilt, said the observers
who drew a comparison between the
careers of the two young men, left Yale
at the same time as Mr. Cable, and
after securing a technical training,
went direct into the operating depart
ment of the New York Central. Here
he was not content to rely on his faith
er's influence, but branched out and
made several useful inventions affect
ing locomotive construction. He is
now considered one of the leading
practical railroad experts of the east.
Mr.. Gable is promoted to the general
attOrneyship from the post of attor-
ney for Illinois, which he has held with
the Rock Island for a year or two.
His headquarters will be in Chicago.
Mr. Rankin has been assistant general
attorney. M A. Low of Topeka re-
tains his position as general attorney
for the road west of Chicago.
Mr.. Gable was graduated from Yale
in 1895. He is the youngest son of the
former president of the Rock Island,
who retired from the executive chair
about four years ago. Mr.. Cable has
spent some years in Rock Island, but

WILL HAVE MORE STEEL CARS.
Accidents Less Disastrous Than With
the wooden Frames.

Within the next few years the greatest
change in the railway equipment in this
country will be towards steel cars for
passenger service. The many recent
wrecks on steam roads have forced the
arrangements to thinking seriously of
a. better and more substantial car TO
Withstand the shocks iii case of acct
dents, wrecks and collisions. Records
show that most of the losses of lives in
collisions are due TO the cars being
telescoped and yhen subsequently burn
ed. In most every practical point from
which this subject can ne viewed. the
all-steel passenger car should prove 81
perior to the wooden coach and its prac-
teal assurance Of safety to Tbs passen-
gers should make il popular enc with
the travelling public. viii be unpOssi-
bic 70 devise n car of any Kind of ma
teriaI that VIII preclude the possibility
of some form OF accident incidental to
the sudden jarri1g II collisions, over
turned coaches. etc. but an all-stesl car
will guarantee against telescoping,
burning or total demoiishing. This sub
ject is one that is receiving a great deal
Of attention and some important inn
provements in passenger car equipment
can be expected N the next few years.

and agreeable to All Of them as that

and agreeable TO all OF them as that
of Mr. Copeland.
1t means a good deal to say that one
man among the several thousand en-
plOyes Of the Santa Fc ranks as the
most popular man in the service. But
this can well lie said of Mr.. Copeland.
And not only is he popular with the
employees of the company. He is held
in esteem by the countless men who
have had business to do with him as
cashier Of the company, and is the ac-
knOWledged friend of all in Topeka
who know him and most everyone here
claims acquaintanceship with him. So
his elevation to the position OF chief
fiscal officer of the most prominent
railway system in the west meets with
almost universal approval.
His election to the Office comes pure
~ as a recognition of his merit and
really wonderful fashion during the is
years he has held the responsible and
OnerOus position of cashier in the Office
of the treasurer of the company. With
in that time Mr.. Copeland has handled
millions upon millions of dollars for the
company and has never caused it the
loss of a single cent. No man could
have made d better record than this
and it is this record with his known
fairs that has been recognized by the
board of directors in placing him in one
of the most. if not the most, response
BILE position in the company.
Mr.. Copeland is just entering on the
prime Of life, being in his forty-fifth
year. He is the youngest son of DR.. P.
L. Copeland. who was one of the early
settlers of northern Illinois. He was

VIII NOT Turn MAIL CARS.
Railway Mail Clerks Have Serious
Complaint Against Rock Island.

complaint 11S1l4At1et LkDCA ASAdAAAH
Railway mail clerks, who have runs
on the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
railway, are up in arms against that
road as result of a recent ruling
MADE by its management to the effect
that hereafter the company Will not
turn its mail cars, but will run them
just as they happen to be picked UP
The cars which are used entirely for
the purposes of carrying mail are d.
Vlded into two sections. One section
contains the cases where the clerks are
at work ard the other end is used for
the purpose of storing the mail.
Hereafter al the roads have turned
the cars so as to have the storage end
next 20 the engine. The advantage Of
this in case Of a wreck can easily be
hsiOn the tender telescopes the mail car,
rum ing back into the car from 10 to
Is feet. If the storage end of the mail
car is next TO the tender the 20 feet of
dead space between the front end Of
the car and the end where the men
are at work on the eases decreases at
least so per cent the danger Of being
killed in case Of q wreck.
The roads have always acceded. to the
request Of the clerks that the cars be
turred, but recently the Rock Island
neglected to do so. When the atten-
zion of the officials was called to this
it was announced that in the future the
company would not turn the cars but
picked UP.
If the storage end of the car was
next to the tender it was we'll and
good, and il the end Of the car where
the men were at work was next to the
engine the company did not care and
would put itse'f to no trouble or ex-
perse to rectify the matter
It has been estimated that tho cost
Of turning the cars amounted to about
so cents each time one was turned
When the trouble first arose it was
taken before Chief Clerk Clyde NJ.
Reed, who ordered the Rock Island to
turn the cars. The superintendent at
st. Louis decided, however, that the
department had no authority TO com
rel the railroad to turn the cars, an q
While it desired that they be turned II
the railroad refused to do so nothing
could be done.

tition which Will be SEPT TO the depart

there that nothing can be done in the
