Providence, R. f., Feb. 21.-The COM
mittee from the Allied Irish societies
in this city has decided not to hold the
street procession, which has been a fea-
ture of the annual celebration of St.
Patrick s day. The only reason as
signed for this action, according to the
committee, is that an argument arose
during the session over the nationality
of ST. Patrick. One member, a man
from Tipperary, said that the patron
saint of Ireland was Scotchman and
tbereat a warm discussion developed.
The man who had made the statement
read an article in a magazine in which
his remarks about St. Patrick's birth
were verified. The other members took
issue and warm verbal contest en-
sued. -. -. 49,.
After. the discussion Of St. Patrick s
place of nativity was brought to con-
clusion. it was found that the debaters
could not agree on any subject: Inc
had been taken which decided that no

CHARGE RATE CONSPIRACY.
Oil ReRners of Kansas Make Appeal
to Commissioner Garfield.

Independent oil refners Of Kansas
have mailed to James r. Garfield,
commissioner of corporations of the
department of commerce and labor,
an appeal for Justice against the
alleged conspiracy between the Stan
dard Oil company and the railroads
to shut Kansas oil out of the market.
The rehners claim that by reason
of a conspiracy between the Standard
Oil company and the railroad systems
of the southwest, particularly those
railroads operating in Kansas, Mis-
souri,. Nebraska. Arkansas, Iowa, and
the territories of Oklahoma and In
dian Territory. they are limited to the
state of Kansas for market for their
refined oil; that to all points outside
of Kansas the freight rates on all the
products of crude petroleum are un-
reasonably high and have been main
tanned at such unreasonably high rate
for the express purpose and for no
other purpose than to confine bust
ness of the independent refiners to the
state of Kansas.

PUBLICITY BUREAU REvIvEs.
Four Pamphlets on Rate Making
Without Explanation.

Greatly to the surprise of railroad
officials, the N1ichaelIis and Ellsworth
railway publicity bureau has shown
signs of returning animation. 1t now
appears that the last three months
have been a time of deep thinking and
not of suspended animation. The re-
suit of these three months of thought
has just appeared in the form of four
pamphlets entitled The a. 3. e OF
Political Rate Making, Primers /, 2,
and 4"
It seems that the editors of the
bureau have come to the conclusion
that the elaborate treatlses which they
turned out and flooded the country
with in the early days of their en-
ployment on behalf of the railroads
were beyond the understanding Of the
American people, therefore the prin-
ers. Possibly the bureau has informa-
ton that rate legislation will be held
up in the senate for many years, so
they have started in to educate Young
America.
or perhaps the primers were written
for the instruction of the senate com
mittee On interstate commerce, Which
has spent the entire year studying the
subject, and is still seeking. for further
information. The primers were sent
out without explanation, and the read
ers have speculated as to the reason.
Primer No. 1 contains the following
lucid argument:
The making of railroad rates by a
government DOQys OF the Audk-iiS u
a single rate if you prefer to put it
that way, they are both the same
thing, is wrong.
l. Because it is wrong.
2 Because 1t is state socialism.
8. Because it is not American
A. Because 1t is unnecessary.
Primer No. ? contains the lesson as
follows:
The man who fav-ors government
rate making for railroads is loaded
with reasons why.
Do you want to punc-ture his rea-
sons with one question?
ASK him whether he believes a de-
fend-ant ought to be convicted pc
fore he is tried.
The value of money IS explained IN
the third primer lesson;
What is "a mill in money values?
A mill is -one-tenth of a cent.
A reduction of a mill in the charge
for hauling ton of freight one mile
will wipe out every dividend on
every railroad stock in the country
A little thing like mill does-n' t

the announcement Of the appointment
President A. ]. Davidson stated the pur-
pose was for the further consolidation
of the Rock Island and Frsico lines. To
what extent the consolidation viii be
carried out is the matter in which the
railroad people of Kansas City are sin
terested
When the merger of the two roads was
erected two years ago the consolidation
was partially put into effect. Where
before an agent represented each road
the two roads were often afterward rep
resented by one agent. This applied
chiefly to smaller towns and not to di-
vision points. The Rock Island and
Frisco ticket offices at Kansas City.
however, were merged together into
one.
Since the merger of railroad. companies
which began only recently. entire roads
roads. The general offices of the one
have been combined into the offices of
the other, additional clerks have been
employed and the two roads went on
with one set of officials as one road.
How far the consolidation of the Rock
Island and Frisco is to be carried out
is a conjecture. 1t is said. however
some radical changes are to be made in
the traffic departments and that changes
are being planned in the Kansas City
offices. While the consolidation of the
traffic departments of the two roads there
is not believed probable. it is believed
some Of the lesser positions will be
combined.
