FREIGHT RATE KlNpEL AGAIN
Interstate Commerce Commission Asks
for Further Evidence.

Denyer.-Asked by the Interstate
Commerce Commission to forward to
that body any further evidence he
might have secured relating TO the un.
lust discrimination against Denver In
the matter of freight rates. George j.
Kindel has sent facts and figures relat-
ing to four cases, showing plainly. in
his opinion, the discrimination al.
legged.
He cites the case OF William v.
Thascher, who established a jobbing
house for boots and shoes In Denver
and is contemplating moving to Ore.
gon because Of the discriminative
freights against him In his line. Mr..
Kindel finds that the rate on rubber
yer. all rail. is $2.72, while from Bos-
ION to Portland. Oregon, all rail. II Is
but $l.S5. From Denver to Boise.
Idaho, the rate Is $40. while from
Portland to the same point 1t is but
$3.50, showing that Denver suffers a
tctal handicap on the points In ques-
tion OF $2.27 per hundred weight.
II these same goods are shipped to
Reno via Denver from Boston. the
freight is 35.92; whereas. II shipped
from Boston to Portland and back
again to Reno. the freight is but $2.64.
Another case is that OF George o.
Miller Of Denver, who received a ship
ment Of books from Portland, for
which the bill OF lading gave 3i.60
rate, but for which his expense bill
shows he was forced to pay Mt the rate
Of 81 per hundred weight. This. In the
face OF the fact that books shipped
from Portland to any Missouri river
point. would have been paid for at tho
rate OF Sl.50 per hundred weight.
Kindel also cites the cases of J. T.
Caughlin. charging exorbitant rates
against Denver on motorcycles. and OF
II. NJ. Davis. charging excessive over.
charge on Photographic materials from
the Mississippi river to Denver. kindel
states that these four men are ready
10 sign the complaints which may be
drawn TO cover the cases In question.

AFTER HARTMAN
PRESIDENT WILL INVESTIGATE
MERGER CASES.
BUSINESS BEFORE PLEASURE
VIII Foreso Joys Of Vacation In Order
to Get at Bottom Of Masnate
Harrlman's Intentions,

Washington.-President Roosevelt
proposes to take into his own hands
the determination as to whether an at
tempt shall be made to break up the
Hartman railroad combination or not,
and has come to the conclusion that 1t
IL his duty to study the case from be.
ginning to end.
The President has been placed In a
position OF antagonism to Mr.. Harri-
man, and on that account he Is particu.
larly desirous that no step should be
taken by any department Of the gov
ernment In such a way as to leave the
impression that 1t was the result of
personal hostility on the part Of the
President himself.
To satisfy himself as to the exact sit
uation, the President proposes to read
All the testimony taken by the Inter
state Commerce Commission on this
subject. Then he will have q confer.
ence with Attorney General Bonaparte
and will ask the head OF the Depart.
ment OF Justice to apply to the facts
the President submits to him
the general law In the case. and partic-
ularly that laid down by the United
States Supreme Court In the Northern
Securities case.
All this will take time and It will In
volve an immense amount of personal
labor on the part Of President Roose.
welt. He may have to give up good
deal Of his vacation time. but 1t will be
done sooner or later, and when his de-
cision is made he will be satisfied with
II. because 1t will be the result Of per.
sonal painstaking investigation, and
not the conclusion Of subordinate ar
rived at through partial or hurried
scrutiny.
This decision by President Roosevelt
TO burden hiMself with the details Of
an exhaustive inquiry into a subject
SO vast that 1t is scarcely understood
even by the members Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission itself, will, II
Is believed. satisfy both the people and
the railroads.

su. Few Convicted in United States.

Criminal statistics that have re-
Gently been compiled show that the
United States leads the nations OF the
world in the number Of homicides per
capita. and that the percentage Of con-
victions for murder is vastly lower
than In any other country.
The average number Of murders in
the United States annually during the
past twenty years. from 1855 TO 1904.
was 6.597. In 1896 the murders reached
the high water mark Of 1862. and In
1895 there were 10000. The percent
age OF conviction was l.S. whereas In
Germany the convictions equaled
ninety-five per cent.
The following table will show that in
other countries there is not the reluo-
tance on the part OF juries to convict
for murder that there Is In the United
States.

SAD AWAKENING

MOTHER IN PAuPER's GRAVE
He Brings Back a Fortune, But No
Welcome From Mother viii
Greet Him.

Pueblo, Colo.-Ten years ago Abner
| Greenwich, lad of seventeen, disap'
peared mysteriously from his home In
Pueblo. His mother, a widow, believed
he had been murdered.
The police OF Pueblo and other cities
searched for him but without finding a
clew which would lead to the explana-
tion of the mystery. and in year the
disappearance of Abner Greenwich
was forgotten, for the haunting face
of the mother was seen no longer at
the police station, seeking news OF her
boy. She had died OF grief.
Now comes the temperance OF Alb
ner Greenwich, who. In a letter writ
ten from Peru to q boyhood friend.
John McGovein, says he is returning
with a fortune of 100000 CLEANED
from the pestilential swamps of Peru
and the sands of its feverridden rivers,
~ am coming home." he says. with
a million to make my mothers last
days happy" not knowing that all the
millions in the world could not have
atoned for one hour OF the agony
which his mother spent In her lonely
search for lSr son.
"She shall have everything that
money can buy, but ! want my arrival
to be surprise to her." Little does
Greenwich know that he will be un-
able with all his wealth to ever buy
a stone to mark his mothers last rest
ing place, for she sleeps with the un.
known dead, and that in all the world
there is no person who will feel
a mothers Joy at the return Of q wan
dering son.
or all these things Abner Green
witch knows nothing. 1t Is enough for
him now that he has $1,OOO,OOO and
that when us a boy reading forbidden
tales of adventure, he told John Nc
Govern that some day he would disap'
pear and not return until he had ST.
900 900, he had meant what he said.
According to the story OF Green
witch, he has paid dearly for his wealth.
The fever Of the tropics has turned his
hair gray and his face is wrinkled like
that OF an old man. Il am AFRAID. no
says, ito see a looking glass. Once l
saw my face in pool near my camp,
and its appearance frightened me. but
/ guess mother will know me. any
how"
Greenwich says that tiring OF
school and poorly paid work. he car
ried out his expressed detet
mination to disappear and not return
until he had 100000.
With the carelessness and cruelty OF
boyhood, he never once thought Of the
sorrow he would cause his mother. but,
meeting a young college graduate from
Chicago. he stealthily left Pueblo. and.
reaching New Orleans. sailed with his
companion on ship bound for Peru.
For the first three years they SUFFERED
all the privations Of hunger. thirst Sad
fever, and found themselves further
handicapped by their Ignorance OF the
native language. Then. becoming IA.
miiiar with the country and its Gus
toms, they plunged into the wilderness
and engaged In the rubber business.
Until my arrival at Lima n month

10000 ARE DEAD
LATEST REPORTS BRING DETAILS
OF MEXICAN EARTHQUAKE.
HOT WATER SHOOTS INTO Air
The Earth Cracks and Swallows Up
Hundreds Of Human Beings -
Many Crushed Beneath Falling
walIe

Chicago.-A dispatch to the Inter-
Ocean from Galveston, Texas, says:
The lower gulf was converted into s
sea of boiling water Sunday night
when the earth cracked and Jets Of hot
water shot into the air nearly $50
feet.
Fishing smacks Of the gulf fisheries,
which ply between Galveston and the
fishing grounds off Campeche, are ar
irving and the crews relate narrowing
tales OF their experiences, not know
ing of the Mexican earthquake until
they reached here yesterday.
The crew Of the ALOHA, Captain
Swenson, was partly seized with fright
Sunday night, when the smack, which
was homeward bound, was caught In
series of cross currents, which held
1t prisoner for nearly an hour. Three
hours later the Ice in the hold used to
preserve the fish had melted.
Ell Paso, TeXas.-More than 1000
persons were killed In the earthquake
which devastated the territory south
west of the City of Mexico.
The list of the dead may in in
creased greatly, according to late dis
patches received from the affected
country.
New volcanoes have broken out and
the burning lava has set fire TO the
forests.
Scores Of towns lying between the
City of Mexico and the Pacific ocean
have been wiped out by the earth
opened and in the chasms thus formed
,h.ln
est damage resulted between the City
of Mexico and the Colima volcano,
which seemed to be the starting point
for the disturbance.
Colima Is now In violent eruption,
the most severe in the history of Mex
leo, and no estimate can now be placed
on the extent Of the damage done or
yet to be done.
One OF the most alarming features
Of the dispatches received here is the
indication that there has been a large
loss of life in the City Of Mexico. a
fact which the authorities are trying
to suppress. Efforts to communicate
with the government authorities have
failed. but private advices to CONNER
cial houses say that the loss OF life has
been heavy. but that no announcement
will be made by the officials.
Messages received at the town OF
Juarez. Mexico. Just across the river
from FL Paso, say that when all OF the
dead in the scores Of towns and vii
lagos to the southwest have been
enumerated. the list of dead will far
exceed 10000.
In many cases large rents were made

stances pedestrians were simply swal-
lowed up by the yawning chasm.
The waters In Lake DE Chabala were

full Of himself and of what he can do
and OF how he can do it. After
time he begins to wonder why he
doesn't get on; II he is stupid, blum.
dering fellow, he never finds out. for
the stupid man goes through life fight
ing his employer all the time. II you
are eager TO rise in the world. con-
slider yourself in relation to your en-
ployer's business from his standpoint.
Try to get at his aims and difficulties.
and consider your work in relation
to those aims and difficulties. ASK
yourself whether yorr work Is fur
thering his aims. II you want to know
whether you are making progress to-
ward ultimate success. Try to think
out your employers method of deal
ing with his problem and with his
employees. Not till you have gained
some insight into these things are you
in a position to take the first step to-
ward the realization of your ambition.
Consider the fact that the head OF
every business concern has definite
aims and definite methods by which
he Is accomplishing or hopes to ac-
complish those aims. He requires en-
ployes who will consent to become
