WON'T DELAY ELECTION.
Justice Brewer Thinks Oklahoma Suit
May Be Political Move.

Chicago. Sept. 1o.-Justice Brewer, OF
the United States supreme court, to
whom application was made for a writ
of supersedeas restraining the redistrict-
ing of certain counties in Oklahoma,
has reserved consideration of the ap-
plicatfon until the matter can be
brought before the supreme court when
it meets next month. In the mean time
the election will proceed in accordance
with the proclamation of Governor
Frantz September II.
MY action in deferring consideration
of the application said Justice Brew
er last night. lis due to two questions
which have arisen in my mind. One
question is whether Mr.. n. A. Noah. of
Woods county, Oklahoma Territory, who
submitted the petition to me. has the
right simply as a taxpayer and citizen
to bring this suit. The other is wheth-
er this IS not a political move and one
which the court should decline to con-
slider at all. My action will not affect
the election. which will go as the
constitutional convention provided. and
the question of the right of the conven-
ton to divide the counties will come be-
fore the supreme court"

STEEL PASSENGER COACH.
One Built for the Erie Is Attracting
Much Attention.

New York. Sept. 1O-The Erie rail-
road received yesterday an all steel pas
senger coach. and it is attracting much
attention at the Jersey City terminal.
This car is practically non-wreckable
and will rot burn. There is less than
800 pounds of wood or other infiamma-
BILE material used in its construction
and all Of that has been treated with a
preparation which, it is claimed, rem
ders il immune to an ordinary degree of
heat.
The car looks like the standard pas
senger coach in general use, and the or
binary observer would not notice any
difference. 1t is somewhat shorter in
but 30 feet in length, but its weight is
much in excess Of the wooden car, being
nearly 100000 pounds. A seventy-five
foot modern Pullman with berths and
other interior fittings averages 10000
pounds ready for service.
The body and truck construction is
entirely of steel as is the floor, which
IS made of Il inch steel plates covered
by non-combustible composition. The
Pullman type of wide vestibule has
been used, the window sashes are of
metal and open automatically; there
are continuous baggage racks and the
burners. The car is equipped with
Westinghouse high speed brakes and
has a seating capacity of 81 persons.
The doors in either end are of wood,
and the seats are covered with plush
but the designers claim that neither
will burn. The car is so strongly built
and so we'll riveted and bolted that it
will stand almost any shock that rail-
road service will give it. It's weight is

FRUIT JOBBERs' COMPLAINT.
Charge Gross Discrimination by Lines
in All Sections

Omaha. Sept. 1O.-No complaint OF
/ greater scope has ever been presented
1 to the interstate commerce commission
than one just determined upon by the
Western Fruit Jobbers' association. the
executive committee of which has just
completed its session in this city. The
basis of the complaint will be that the
rates on fruit in every part of the Unit
ed States. from coast to coast, and from
Canada to Mexico, are out of all pro-
portion TO what is paid for the trans
portatiOn of other commodities.
President H. H. Jones presided at the
meeting and there were representa- tives
from Kansas City, Oklahoma. Sioux
City. Minneapolis. Denver and Omaha.
Comparisons were made by the execu-
tive committee. which had the matter
in charge. of the rates on fruit, coal.
meats grain and all sorts of merchan-
disc. with the result that the fruit men
say that they are Disseminated against
On every hand. TGey have taken up as
an instance the icing of cars. and allege
that the charges for icing a car of meat
half way across the continent Is $15
while for a car of fruit covering the
same distance q charge of $50 is made.
The freight on a car of melons from
Texas to the trans Missouri country is
greater than the original cost of the
melons, and the rate rom Nebraska to
Chicago on grapes IS 40 cents per hun
bred, against 20 cents on meat.
The association Will at once put
number of experts to work searching
the points on which to base the formal
complaint which they hope to be able
to present within sixty days. The as
sociation will aI1ege that the great cor
porations like the beef trust have been
modities at the cost of the fruit bust
ness.
