EGG SHIPPERS NEED CARS.
Kansas and Oklahoma Hens Lay More
Eggs Than Can Be Marketed.

| Kansas City, Mo-, March 2.-The
| hens of Kansas and Oklahoma produce
II million eggs a month for the ship
pers to handle, besides the eggs con-
sumed in the homes of the state and
/ territory. This means the shippers
send out more than one hundred cars
of eggs a month, and the Oklahoma
and Kansas Egg Shippers association
held a meeting at the Midland hotel
yesterday afternoon to take some steps
! to obtain better car service.
The members of association say the
car shortage in Kansas and Oklahoma
is now so distressing that large guam
titles of eggs will spoil before they can
be marketed if some relief is not given.
Representatives of the Union Pa
cific, Missouri Pacific, Atchison. To-
peka & Santa Fe and the st. Louis &
San Francisco railroads attended the
meeting and it was made plain that
little relief is in sight for the egg ship
perS. However, it was agreed that
every effort will be made to send re
turn cases into Kansas and Oklahoma
at once. Not only does a car shortage
exist but a shortage of egg cases as
well.
The shippers send out eggs packed
in cases that are supposed to be re-
turned to them. The railroads are
slow in accepting return cases for
shipment and that works a hardship
on the egg shippers. 1t was agreed to
send kilograms to the railroads, nam
ing the LOCALITIES Wnere cases ana cars
are worst needed and depend on the
tender mercies of the railroads for re-
lief.
IF the railroads refuse to ship us
the boxes or TO furnish us cars were
simply helpless John Stewart of Con-
cordia, Kan. president of the associa-
ton, said. I'VE will join in an appeal
for relief and we must have it. The
egg season is on carly in Kansas and
Oklahoma. March will probably be
our largest month this year. The rail-
roads now promise to furnish US cars
where they are most needed. And
they're needed in every city and
town.

WILL FIGHT TWO CENT FARE.
Western Railway Systems Agree on
Plan of Campaign.

Chicago. March 1.-The western
railroads have determined to fight in
the courts all state laws making two
cents a mile the maximum passenger
rate.
Attornevs of several of the largest
roads held conference here today
with a view to having all roads pursue
the same policy as to litigation over
the two-cent-a-miler rate
The plan now generally favored is to
ask the courts to restrain the enforce
ment of the law on the ground that
rate of two cents a mile would cause
the railroads heavy loss and in many
cases would require them to run trains
at less than the actual operating ex-
penses. regardless of the fixed charges.

roads. of which they assert the passen-

when the negotiations were broken off
that 1T was for the purpose of submit

officers of the labor organizations, but

FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
jerome Continues His Effort to Pin
Down DR.. Evans.

New York, March 2.-Dr. Evans re-
sumed the stand in the Thaw trial af-
ter recess Friday afternoon and Dis
trict Attorney Jerome continued to
! question him regarding the so-called
mental explosions he testified he be-
| lieved Thaw had suffered from.

breaks did not suggest paranoia in that

| Thaw seemed to fear for his life; at
other times he indicated simple melan-
cholia, and at last there was the ex-
plosive outbreak on the Madison
Square roof garden. These variances,
the expert asserted, We're indicative of
insanity of the ado1escent period but
there was no defined form of paranoia.
Mr.. Jerome here read from DR..
Evans direct testimony in the course
of which he said that Thaw's will and
codicil show a 2aranoiac form of de-
velopmental or aGolescent insanity
The prosecutor asked If this testi-
mony was correct.

and codicil suggested the paranoiac

From your observation and from
the facts in the hypothetical question,

defendant had intelligence enough to
know that he was carrying a revol-

of Or. Evans.
Some of the time, yes

1906. he was possessed of sufficient in
