Chicago, Aug. 19.-Railroads and
steamship companies have finally reach
ed an agreement in the establishment
of freight zones for export freight. Ex-
porters had complained bitterly of loss
| of foreign orders because of the in
ability or, at any rate, the failure of
the railroads to get shipments to the
steamships in time, and so general had
the complaint become that it had been
| arranged to take the grievance before
! the interstate commerce commission
A conference between the railroads,
steamship companies and the shippers
was arranged and an agreement framed
whereby the railroads tentatively agree
| to transport freight from Chicago to
the upper Atlantic ports within 20 days
or pay a penalty. Shipments from Min
neapolis. st. Pau9 Kansas City and
other Missouri river points must be de-
llvered to the railroads 80 days prior
to the sailing of the vessels in which
the exports are made. This arrange
ment gives the shippers certain know
ledge.
The at-home idea in freight cars,
whereby a freight car Is in its own
bailiwick wherever it may happen to be-
is receiving some attention from the
managers of railroads, though none has
yet considered its adoption seriously 1t
is admitted that it would be a good
thing in many ways in that there would
be no delay in getting cars for loads
and sending them in any direction de-
sired, and in this way expedite the
movement of business and in a meas
ure solve the car shortage problem.
There are objections to the plan,
however, and these appeal strongly to
the managers of trunk lines, which
must necessarily own a large number
of cars in order to take care Of the
business offered along the line 1t is
pointed out that the railroad that is
short of money would be able to have
all kinds of equipment and not have a
car of its own, and the cost of equip
ment would simply be the mileage or a
fiat per diem charge. In a few years.
the great trunk lines of the country
would be furnishing cars for all the
other roads.

REBATES NOT POSSIBLE.
New York Central Official Declares
They Are Thing of Past.

New York, Aug. 19.-The giving of re-
bates by railroads is thing of the past
according to Francis La Bau, freight
traffic manager of the New York Cen
trail lines east of Buffalo. He made this
statement when asked in regard to E
prevalent impression that certain roads
were still in the habit of favoring big
shippers secretly in, disobedience to the
interstate commerce law.
"Of course, can speak euthorita tive
ly only for the New York Central" said
Mr.. La Bau. I'm behalf of that line
can state positively that rebate giving,
either directly or indirectly, is not only
a thing of the past, but has been so for
three or four years.
1T is my personal belief, moreover,
that this same statement applies prac-
tically to all the big roads.
ITO give rebates in the face of the
Hepburn amendment to the interstate
commerce law would be suicidal. The
amendment has revolutionized the con-
ditions in the commercial world of this
country.
!"It is now impossible for any large
shipper, corporation or otherwise to OBJ
tain lower rates than those accorded to
the smallest customer or any road. The
law is plain and it must be and is be-
ing obeyed.'

principles and precepts of the new
organization.
why did you leave the Socialist
party? Mr.. Smith was asked
Because of the corrupting and dis
rupting influences that crept in" he
said. Our organization degenerated
until It was no better than either the
Democratic or Republican party. 1
thought it was time to withdraw and

But how do you propose to keep
corruption out of the new organiza-

NEARLY DIE ON PIXIES PEAK.
Tourists Overtalxen by Blizzard anG
Suffer From the Cold

Colorado Springs, Col, August 10
Twenty-four women and twelve men,
all eastern tourists stopping at Mani
tou, came near dying in a blizzard on
the summit of Pixies Peak from cold
and exhaustion. AS a result of their
terrible experiences a dozen or more
of the women are confined to their
beds in Manitou hotels and in this
city.
The party started on burros from
Manitou at o'clock in the afternoon
to see the sunrise from the top of
Pixies Peak. AS the weather was
warm and there were no indications
of a storm, none of the men took
along overcoats, and but few of the
women carried more than light
summer jacket. The majority of the
women wore shfrtwaists made of the
lightest material.
All went well and fast time was be-
ing made up the side of the grand old
mountain, when suddenly, as the par
ty reached Windy Point, two miles
from the summit, a terrific blizzard.

swept down upon the sightseers from
the east. The snow was driven in veri-
table sheets, completely obscuring the
sun and forcing the riders to dis
mount from their burros and seek
what little refuge they could behind
the animals, while the men grouped
to form a snow and wind break.
The blizzard ragged for forty-five min
utes, and when it ceased the side of
the mountain and trail were covered to
a depth of from one to two feet. The
women-of the party had become thor
oughly chilled and many of them had
to be lifted into the saddles of the bur-
ros and strapped and tied on to prevent
them from falling off. A number of the
fair tourists tainted and were given
whisky to revive them.
The men of the party held a brief
consultation and decided that it would
be wiser to continue their journey to
the top of the peak than to attempt to
return to Manitou, twelve miles away
The burros, with their chilled and ex-
hausted human loads, were started
toward the top, but the trail was so
filed with snow that progress was slow.
Finally, about midnight. five hours af-
ter the blizzard struck Windy Point,
the party reached the Summit house,
more dead than alive. The travellers
found the doors of the Summit house
locked and bolted and the heavy wooden
blinds at the windows closed from with

LINE TO BONNER SPRINGS.
Electric Road From Leavenworth to

Leavenworth, Kan, Aug. 19.-Leaven-

Within a month construction will be-
gun on 1t. John Mcdaniel, of Bonner
Springs, promoter of the enterprise,
was in Leavenworth yesterday con-
ferring with the officials of the Kan
sas City Western. He will buy the
equipment of the K. G. W., displaced
by the recently opened cut-offs, to use
in the construction of the new line.
The more important features of the
transac tion are already settled and
the details of the transfer will be
concluded in a few days. The new
line is to be supplied with power from
the Kansas City Western power house
to be built this fall and the service to
Bonner Springs will be under the
management of the X c. W.
The grading for the line has been
completed many months and it is only
necessary to lay the track and the
power leads. The Ronner-Bethel line
will run from Bonner Springs to
Forest Lake, thence to Edwardsville
and on to Bethel. 1t will be. twelve
miles long. 1t will represent an in
yestment of 100000.

NEW BIG COAL TRAFFIC. !.
Missouri Pacific Will Haul 5000, 900
Tons Year From Illinois

Tons Year From Illinois
st. Louis, Aug. 19.-From the Southern
Illinois coal territory the Missouri Pa
cific and Iron Mountain system will
take 100000 tons of coal a year for
points in the southwest the northwest
and the west. The extension which the
company has been constructing into this
district will be on operation to and from
Johnson City early in November, and
the coal carrying will be done on a COM
paratively large scale this year.
The work which the road has already
finished contemplates the hauling of
100000 tons of Illinois coal a year.
When the improvements are finally com :
pleted, as proposed, not less than $780,
600 tons year will be transported.
So great an increase in the production
from this Illinois district will, it is be-
lieved, afford considerable relief to con-
Stunning sections west of the MISSISSIPPI
river, in the north and south. The
Burlington began taking 100000 tons
year from the same district two years
ago. and at the same time it obtained
sufficient property to cover the fuel
wants of the various Hill lines.
The Missouri Pacific and Iron Noun
tain System has not bought coal land in
Illinois, and the understanding is that
it will not do SO. The Western Coal and
Minin- Co., in which the road owns
81, 900 600 of stock, will meet all the fuel
needs of the system for operating pur
poses The Gould interests hold stock,
independent of the Gould lines, in coal
properties in the territories traversed by
the roads, and, therefore, it is inferred
that care has been taken that the lines
will have ample fuel.
The coal to be hauled on the Fordyce
and Johnson City extension will be
transported to points in the southwest,
the west and the northwest for CONNER
cial purposes. 1t is estimated that the
ultimate capacity of the Illinois district
touched by the extension is sufficient to
keep the carriers busy for 100 years.
