Memphis Street Railway System.

President T. H. Tutwler of the Mem- phis Street Railway company was in the city yesterday looking over the local sit. uation. He stated that his company was in good shape in Memphis, and that sum- mer business Is expected to come in with a rush as the season has long been de- layed.
 .rhe parks and summer amusement re- sorts have opened up,' said he, and our lines will soon have all they can handle during certain periods of the day and on Sundays.

Illinois Central Trains.

.T'he Illinois Central will run passen- ger trains into Birmingham's new passcn- ger station in September" said Assistant General Passenger Agent John A. Scott of the Illinois Central yesterday. We planned to have our trains in here by July l. but bad weather and slow progress on the new line has caused the delay.
 Our freight depot is finished and the terminals are getting in shape, but we want to see the new union station com pleted and have our passenger connec- tions established. The Illinois Central is reaching out for territory, and the move to get into Birmingham is but one step toward the greater development of the system in the south.

PATTERSON CARNIVAL
MAY Be SECURED
Eagles Are Figuring on a Sum-
mer Entertainment.
1T is ONE OF THE BEST.

A representative of the Patterson
Brothers carnival company. said to be
the largest in the country. was in the
city Sunday for the purpose of decid-
ing whether it would be feasible TO
show in Richmond. If they come *
will be under the auspices of the local
aerie of Eagles. The company has
never shown east of Peoria, H., and if
the Eagles get this big attraction it Is
certain to be great success.
The Patterson Brothers carnival
company includes circus, twenty-four
midway Slows and three free attrac-
tons. The company also carries three
brass bands and about 400 people on
its pay roll. If the local aerie Of
Eagles closes a contract with the COM
pany. it Will probably show here either
the third or fourth week in July.
Patterson Brothers representative
was agreeably impressed with this
city and stated that he would recon-
mend 10 the rroprietors that the pro-
ductfon show here in July. The con
tract probably will be closed some time
this week.

were released from durance vile Mon
day afternoon. Both men were held
by the police on a charge of obtaining
money under false pretense, filed by
Marcus Hasty, of the Hasty Brothers
wholesale confectioners. The two
gypsies were to have been given
hearing in the city court Monday afr
ernoon, but at that time Mr.. Hasty
stated TO Prosecutor Jessup that he
could not state under oath that the
bottoms in the big brass candy kettles
were not new bottoms. When Mr.
Hasty swore out warrant for the ar
rest of Lucas and Demtro he claimed
that the men had not placed new brass
bottoms to the kettles, but had only
rehammered the old ones On Mr.
Hastys refusal TO testify against the
foreigners, who claimed to be Rus

leans, Prosecutor Jessup moved that
the case be dismissed. Judge Con-
verse took this action and Lucas and
Demtro left the court room rejoicing.
Demtro's and Lucas tribe associates
were present in court and they lent q
gaudy but somewhat dirty tone to the
commonplace court room. Attorney
b. G.. Robbins attracted considerable
attention by parading from his office
to the court room in company with the
friends of his two clients. Many
awed spectators wondered whether Mr..
Robbins had gone into the side show
or wild west show business.

DISCRIMINATION
/. IS CHARGED BY THE
COMMERCIAL CLUB
1t Is Asserted That Richmond
Does Not Get a Square
Deal in the Matter of Freight
Rates.
EXAMPLES ARE CITED
IN PROOF OF THIS.
An Interchange Is Also De-
sired Between the PennSyI-
vania and the c., c. & L.
Action Is Probable.

One of the most important subjects
particularly SO the directors, ana
which is of interest to the entire com
munity, and means much to the fti-
ture prosperity of the city, is the qua
tation of freight rates granted Rich
mond manufacturers by the railroads
entering this city. The directors G.
the club feel that Richmond is being
Disseminated against in more than QUE
way by the local railroads and their
connecting lines. The manufacturers
of metal products which require a
great amount of pig iron each year
say that rates TO the south are much
higher than those granted from the
north, while many of the class freight
rates for transportation of goods out
of this city are higher than in many
other towns in IEdiana The freight
rates on some classes according To tn
statements of one of the directors is
higher from Richmond to certain Civ
en- point than are the rates from Kc-
komo, Elwood, Logansport and a num-
Der of other Indiana towns. although
these towns are farther away from the
point of consignment than is Rich
mond.
The directors of the club say that
such should not be the case by any
means. In continuing the converse
ton along the line of freight rates on
pig iron from the south, a local manu-
facturer stated that there had been an
increase in the price of pig iron and
an increase in freight rates out of pro-
portion to the distance the pig iron is
hauled by the southern railroads. and
as a consequence, local manufacturers
whose products require great amount
of pig iron, are realizing but small
profits on their output.
Want an interchange.
Another feature of the local freight
and one which the CONNER
cial club directors will work for, will
be the interchange of freight consign-
ments to and from local manufactur-
ing concerns by the c. c. < l.. and
railroads. By this in
terchange it is argued that several
thousand dollars can be saved yearly
by ocal manufacturers in that freight
to given points can be shipped with
less delay than if either road attempt
ed to handle it exclusively. There are
many other arguments along this line,
and it is probable that the manufac-
turers through the Commercial club
will league themselves together tn
bring about an interchange of freight
