Standard Loses Big Contract,

The contract for lubricating the rolling
stock of the Pennsylvania lines west Of
Pittsburg, which Heretofore has been held
by the Standard Oil Company with an an
nual revenue of $4,000, has been can
celled, owing to disclosures made before
the interstate commission. It
was shown that the Pennsylvania in ten
years saved 81 100000 by having secretly
a more liberal contract than was given
any other railroad company. The at
torneys for the commission say that the
Standard is receiving rebates from the
railroads in the form of excessive prices,
and that they are paying at least so per
cent more than would be charged by indie
pendent companies.

mighty dollar that they have had no
time and as little inclination" TO support
the legislation asked in the interest OF the
laboring man. 1t says patience ceased to

of grievances presented to the administra-

continue to be of, for and by the people,
rather than of, for and by the almighty

rtee of three has been chosen, namely, Sam

Order Il Made at Mime

bOtN 1utC .1AGAH1h8s H-
Every railroad in Minnesota whose OIL
Gals have testified at the present rate
hearing must produce at the Office of the
State railroad and warehouse commission
all records Upon which their statistics
have been based, according to an order
made by the commission at the close of
a sensational hearing.
This order is sweeping and if the COM
mission is inclined to enforce it in detail
it would mean the bringing of the record
of all railroads doing business in Mime
sofa to the State capitol. The order is di-
rected at the Great Northern railroad, but
may be made applicable to any road on
request of the shippers attorney.
Attorney Severance, representing the
railroads, said to Commissions Staples -:
"Why, if this order is enforced it would
mean the removal of the Offices of all the
railroads to the State capitol" Mr.. Sta
pies replied by saying IT. would not do
that if the railroads would permit the
examination of the records in their wi
Offices. .
This order of the commission is the re-
suit of a request made by Attorney Man
ahan, representing the shippers of Hast
ings, Mimi, made at the hearing after the
auditor of the Northern Pacific railroad
had given a lot of statistics showing how
the earnings of railroads had decreased in
Minnesota while they had increased in
Iowa and Illinois. Mr.. Manahan claimed
that the statistics did not show actual
facts. rl.

Rate Law Becomes Effective.

The first step for the enforcement OF
the new railroad rate law has been taken
by the interstate m commission,
which has ordered an expert to appraise
and fix a value OF every railroad in the
United States, that the commission may
determine whether any rate is reasonable
and just. Prof. Henry G. Adams of the
university Of Michigan and statistician for
the interstate commerce commission, has
been invited to enter the employ of the
commission, to devise a uniform system OF
bookkeeping for all the railroads, and to
appraise their value. The new system, it
is hoped, will be in operation by July 1,
1907, and the roads will be required to
observe a fiscal year corresponding to that
of the government.

Gorky,. Opinion Of America.

In an article in Appleton's Booklovers'
Magazine, Maxim Gorky, the Russian rev
,lutionist and author, speaks OUT plainly
what his impression of this country dur
ing his brief visit has been. Upon his ar
rival in New York, he says, he noticed
that on the dark bronze statue OF the
Goddess of Liberty, green rust had accu-
pulated, but he says he did not then know
shat the passionate idealism of the young
democracy had also become covered with
rust, ''eating way the soul with the cor
rosive of commercialism." He did not
realize that the disease of money craving
had assumed such proportions in America.
He says he loves energy, but not when
men expend it for their own destruction.
Everywhere he sees a senseless treadmill
of labor, but nowhere do we feel the beau
ty of free creation. Nowhere, as in New
York, have people seemed to him so unfor-
iunate and SO thoroughly enslaved to life,
nowhere 80 tragicomically self-satished
as in this huge phantasmagoria of stone
ron and glass"

SHUTTING OUT THe WOMEN.
They Are Being Excluded from Of
flee Work in Chicago.

There is a movement in the Chicago
business world to supplant women with
men which has ma infested itself there in
various ways lately. The female employees
of the Barber Asphalt Company quit I'M
der orders July l. In the Chicago post
office Postmaster Busse has placed women
under the ban. County Treasurer Han
berg will give no employment to women in
his entire Office force. The Chicago United
States pension office is an Eveless Eden.
The Chicago and Northwestern Railway
Company long ago separated all its wom-
en- employees from their jobs. In explana-
ton one of the officers Of the latter said :
ut was clear to us that a girl stenos-
rapher never could be developed into a de-
partment head. Her physical and mental
Limitations were such as to make her I'M
dependable at those strenuous times which
arise often in the affairs of all concerns
doing large business. If urgent need on
the part of the company suggested that
she work a little longer on Saturday than
usual she was found with a positively I'M
breakable matinee date. In short, while
she might be good for the one thing she
was doing, the qualifications for growth
into the class of employees we could pro-
mote and eventually pension were not
there. 1t was evident that for every one
woman We had in our employ we were
FORGETTING one chance of finding a man
. with ability to grow into greatness in the
railroad business.
For instance, a stenographer serving
the acting president of a railroad COM
PAM is in a position to acquire compre-
hensive knowledge of the railroad bust
ness. If the stenographer be a woman
no matter how competent-her Work
will be more or less perfunctory and the
knowledge she is in a position to acquire
will not help her to become anything
other than what she is, the presidents
stenographe-. \ young man in the same
position will absorb information and bust
ness methods that ought to make OF MIN
an invaluable employe in more important
lines of railroad work. So the order dis
eliminating against women was issued.

indicates the general policy OF the road

shoots Himself In a Seattle Hotel
While Wife Searches for Him.
Eli A.. Gage, son of former Secretary
of the Treasury Lyman J.. Gage of Chi
cage, committed suicide by shooting HIM
self through the heart iE a room in the
Tourist Hotel, a second-c!ass lodging
house on the edge of the red light district
of Seattle. He had registered under the
name of J.. W. Gorst, had no baggage and
was almost without funds. :
His wife and child, who came to join
him a few days ago, were at the Grey
stone, a fashionable boarding house. For
two days Mrs. Gage had been searching
for her husband, employing detectives to
aid her, but even his friends had been I'M
able to locate him. 3
Mr.. Gage had been changing from one
hotel to another and registering under as
sumed names for two weeks. His &C
.quaintances say they are not surprised at
the suicide, as he had been acting strange
ly for some time, and had been drinking
heavily. :
Gage worked for the North American
Trading and Transportation Company
during 1S9G-97 on the Yukon river steam
er Weare. He had trouble in Alaska,
where he was almost killed in a saloon
row at Circle City in 1896. His father,
his wife's uncle, Capt. P. B. Weare, and
J. J. Healy, all in the trading company,
interceded for him. Afterward he went
to Chicago. lllCrt
Not long ago Gage left Chicago for the
West, and applied for a berth in the
Alaska service of the Northwestern
Steamship Company in Seattle less thai
a month ago. After reaching Seattle he
deposited 5000 in one of the local banks.
A statement rendered July "a showed he
had $211 left, but at the time he killed
himself had only $3.50. Heavy drinking
1s given as the cause of the suicide.
