STICKNEYS PLAN
TO FILE TARIFFS
Commission Adopts Rule
Suggested by the Great
Western S President.
mo Mlx-UP ON REWSIONS
Necessary Only to Keep Current Tariffs
With Last Supplement Before
the Public.

That President A. B. Stickney, Of the
Chicago Great Western, is going 10
WELD no insignificant influence with the
I Interstate Commerce Commission in the
/ administration of the railroad rate law
is made plain by the latest word of that
body on tho question OF preparing and
nling railroad tariffs. 1t will be recalled
+ that President Suckney came TO Wash
ington a short time before the new law
I took effect, and spent two or three days
explaining TO the commission his views
/ of what ought TO be done 10 make the
new law effective and useful Among
lother matters he took up the big problem
OF Publishing and filing tariffs of rates.
He urged the commission that one of
/ the greatest evils is the tendency 10 too
frequent and careless changes of rates,
without such publicity rs viii amount 10
: a real notice to the public.
No Chance for Mistake.
1t was Mr. stckney's view that no
change of rate ought to be allowed 20
be made by amendment or supplement
10 an already printed tariff, he would
require not only the thirty-day notice OF
the change. but also the republication Of
the whole tariff affected by the change.
Thus he would keep all rates Ia effect at
q given time within the same physical
document. There would be no chance
of the shipper making "a mistake by rea-
son Of not having seen the very latest
amendment or supplement TO the taTlu.
That Alr. Sucluey convinced the COM
mission OF his point Is shown by the Iact
that the commission has now issued this
rule
Not over five supplements shah be pro-
mulgated TO any tariff, and not over ten
TO any classification, 90 show changes
beyond this number the entire tarlu or
classification shall be reprinted. Each
supplement, whether TO a tgrin or classI-
ncatou. shall indicate all changes made
by that supplement and previous supple
meEJs TO the original taTlu.
Only Two Documents Needed.
This means that ia future there Will
never be necessity for preserving more
than two documents I'm order TO have at
hand all current rates on aroad-the cur
rent tariff of rates, and the latest sup
pIemeut. which viii snow all changes.
To consider this and other important
questions regarding the problem Of pub
fishing and filing tariffs. the commission
has called a meeting for October 81 when
representative committees from the dlt-
ferent classification UeTritOrie5-the Of

speakers were in fine voice and made
decided impressions on their hearers.
The audience was made mp Of repre-

Judge Parmenter is an able speak

stated that the president had recon.

that the republican party was so
bound by obligations to trusts that il
could not prosecute them. Parmentel

Denver, Oct. 23.-Eastern Colorado
has been in the throes of a blizzard
today, but the weather bureau holds
out hope Of clearing weather tonight.
Snow ceased falling in Denver tbs
afternoon, the storm center having
moved eastward.
The storm takes rank as the most
severe at this time of the year of
which the weather bureau has any
record. Snow began falling here last
Friday night, and it continued to fall
about ninety hours. The fall of
snow in Denver was about 2l inches
and in some other portions of the
state it was -four feet or more. The
weather map issued today shows a
yreat change in the weather condi-
lions in the past twentyfour nours .
The low pressure which has prevailed
over northern Colorado and its east.
ew strip, and southern Wyoming has
filed. The high pressure remalas sta.
tionery. A low pressure area has
developed in eastern Kansas. The ef-
feet Of this change is that the wind
has shifted from the aortheast Ia
the west and blew the storm into
Kansas.

ger traffic on the railroads l., the

Huge Crowds of Territorians Greet
Brilliant Indianan in a Dozen Cities,
Stand in Drenching Rain and Cheer
Speaker to the Echo---Incidents, Co.
Incidents and Notes of the Trip by
Staff Correspondent Of The World.

Territory yesterday, the attendance
il most places was cut down but very
little At McAlester, Eufaula, Mus
kogee and other places along the line
great crowds greeted the eloquent
Irdianan, The special train ran two
hours behind time all day and at
many places parts of the crowd had
tired and went away. Citizens in
all of these towns are agreed that the
crowds greeting the Vice-President
were as large, if not larger, than
those which met Bryan a few weeks
ago, AT Eufaula, the crowd stood
cut in the rain while Fairbanks spoke
and cheercd continuously all the time.
The train was stopped a short dis
tance from the station. After hav-
ing once started, in order to let
mother leave her carriage and rush
through the rain that Fairbanks
might take her infant child by the
hand, the train was stopped.
Such features, however, we're not
uncommon during the day, and into
all of them the vicc-president entered
with zeal. He had been described as
formal and inattentive, but his terri
tory trip refuted the charge. He en-
tered into the spirit Of camaraderie
with zest and good will. At Atoks
where several hundred white and In
dian school children were on the plat
form, they made Fairbanks their
prisoner when he attempted to go
from the stand to the train. Several
dozen Of them clung to his arms, coat
tails and .trpuser legs and cheered
lrstily, and lifting all he could into
his arms the vice-president laughing
ly carried them through the crowd
to the train. AT Atoka too, he for
bade the local committee clearing the
stand Of Indian children, but stood
up in their midst while he spoke.
During the day, Fairbanks kept up
at every stop the handshaking that
h" began the day before in Oklahoma.
At McAlester he refused a carriage
back to the station following his
speech up town and walked the 6ve
blocks surrounded by several thou
sand who blocked his way, but with
whom he shook hands at every step.
81 never saw such enthusiastic peo-
pie" he said, and laughed and chat
ted with them until the trainmen in
sisted he should board the train.
The vice-president was royalty en-
lcrtained at every stopping place and
enough cut flowers found their way
INTO his Pullman to have stocked n
florist establishment. At Muskogee
the citizens provided n sumptous
luncheon for the vice-president and
all members Of the party on the spec
ial train. During his trip through
the new state Fairbanks received two
kittens, one at Ponca City and one at
! Pend Creek, but both had disappeared
when he made a search for them later.
Many Indians of prominence were
or the train during the day, including
Washington Swimmer, a full-blood
Cherokee, who is the Republican nom
inee in the Sixty-siSth district for
delegate to the Constitutional con-
vcntion. This district has within its

hi immense audience had waited pa
ticntly for the special that did not
