For acting as washwomen to a drove

water carriers of the Sells-Floto circus
were before Judge Houser of the su-
perior court yesterday demanding
wages in the aggregate sum of $1400.
incidentally the circus men had used
all the water in their immediate
neighborhood for application to the
animals alone and most of them looked
as though they had not felt the touch
of water since old H-2-O had been put
on the map, and the judge, after
standing the odor of circus stable for
a time, ordered the bailiff to open all
the windows and air the room.
The water carriers had a big COM
plant and they were very angry.
These complaints were for wages for
services during the time the circus
was housed between seasons at Venice,
and the feeders, teamsters and animal
trainers demanded sums ranging from
$25 to 500.

CLEARING HOUSE
To Be ABOLISHED
RAILWAY OFFICIALS NOT ALL
SATISFIED
Result Of Three Months Trial Of Plan
to Prevent Congestion Of Freight
Is Viewed In Various
Ways
Rv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 17.-After less than
a three months trial the railroads are
considering a proposition to abolish the
American railway clearing house. which
was established to facilitate the move
ment and distribution of freight cars
and to prevent further car shortage
and freight congestion.
A meeting of railway presidents has
been called for next Monday to deter
mine what shall be done with the or
ganization which was launched with
such great hope of results and which
the roads now declare to be failure.
The threatened end of the clearing
house is said to be caused by the de-
fection of the st. Paul and of the
Northwestern railroads. The clearing
house was established by Arthur Hale,
who was taken from high position on
the Baltimore & Ohio road and given
charge of the movement
Offices were secured in the Grand
Central station and now more than
eighty people are employed there. The
bureau Is costing the railroads approx
imately $4,000 a month, and some of
them assume to say it has not returned
cents a month in value.
The meeting is not expected to be a
harmonious one, as there are many
railroads whose officials believe the
clearing house to be the best thing
yet devised to prevent car shortage and
to insure a railroad the maximum use
of it's equipment.

THINKS RATES ARE TOO HIGH

BY Associated Press.
PORTLAND, Ore, April 17.-If the
rates from the east of Spokane are too
high those from Portland to the interior
territory are also.
That statement, which forms an inn
portant admission in connection with
Portland's prospective case in the event
Spokane wins her point, was made this
morning on the stand by James G.
Woodworth, traffic manager of the
Northern Pacific, The witness was
taken over considerable ground that had
been covered at the Spokane hearing,
but he also explained the making Of
rates and their basis.
He was followed by R. B. Miller, gen.
eral agent of the Hartman lines, who
illustrated the loss in revenue such a
move would mean to the system. H.
P. Gillette, an expert engineer, who
analysed the testimony given by Chief
Engineer Darling of the Northern Pa
cific of st. Paul, was next on the stand
and endeavored to show the prices for
work and transportation were in
fiated to a remarkable degree.
Richard Koehler, general purchasing
agent for the Hartman northwest lines,
was called for the purpose of showing
the relative prices of material today as
compared with those of several years
ago.
