RAILROAD IGNORES
ANTEREBATE LAW
SOUTHERN PACIFIC COMPANY 10
THE OFFENDER.
MUCH EVIDENCE Is FOUND
In California by a Member of the In.
ter-state Commerce Commits
sion-Company's Books
Prove the Charge.

Washington, Oct 16.-That rebates
on charges for shipments of freight
have been paid by at least one great
railroad system since the enactment
OF the Hepburn rate act was ascer.
tanned definitely by Commissioner
Lane. of the interstate commerce
commission. on his recent trip to the
Pacific coast. The offending line is
the Southern Pacific, practically
owned by Edward H. Hartman.
The evidence of this violation of the
law was adduced at hearing before
Commissioner Lane. acting for the
commission, in San Francisco. II was
developed that some of the rebates
had been paid on Interstate shipments
of freight, but that the bulk of them
were paid on intra-state shipments. II
was admitted by officers of the COM
pany that the Southern Pacific had a
regularly organized rebating system
covering state business from one end
Of California to the other.
Although the company's counsel re.
sisted Lanes demand for the books
showing the character and extent of
the rebating, they finally were pro.
duced. The disclosures from them
settled the matter definitely. The evi-
dence showed that the refund of
money in rebates during the past year
aggregated about 100000. Many of
the items on which rebates were paid
were interstate shipments.
1t was disclosed, too, that the COM
pany had what Is known as inside
rates." that is, rates which are less
than the regular published tariff rates
intended for the use of the general
public. These inside rates" were
given by the Southern Pacific to
favored shippers.

JUNCTION OWEN FISH.
COURT oIvEsF,sHHANolcAP
In His Fight for Control Of the Illinois
Central Railroad. BY Barring the
Voting Of 2ss,73t Shares N
OF Stock.

Chicago, Oct. 16.--E Fl. Hartman
was on Tuesday, by an order Of court,
deprived Of the voting power Of 2S6, ,731
shares of Illinois Central stock In the
annual meeting Of that railroad com
pany which opens at noon to-day.
The order of the court was practic-
ally Identical with the modification
asked by the attorneys for Mr.. Harri.
man.
Both sides claim victory, Mr.. Fish
because the enjoined shares will not
be effective at the election and Mr..
Hartman because his modification
was secured.
The shares OF stock ruled out are
those held by the Union Pacific Rail.
way Co., the Railroad Securities Com
pany of New Jersey, and the Mutual
Life Insurance Company of New York,
against which a temporary Injunction
was issued Monday BY Judge Ball in
the superior court.
Mr.. Fish asked thrt the voting Of
these shares be enjoined. The court
after extensive argument by attorneys
for both sides modified the injunction
by permitting the shares to be voted
under the condition that If any one of
tUtse SHdTco SuOuiu ndNC u uSSioivO Vi
feet on any vote taken the entire vote
is then to be null and void. In other
words, Mr.. Fish is given by the court
handicap of 286.731 votes, and in or
der to defeat him on any motion or
resolution which comes before the an
nual meeting Mr.. Hartman and his
friends must cast 2S6,732 votes more
than are cast by MIR. Fish and his fol-
lowers.
The total outstanding shares of the
Illinois Central number 950, 400. Count
ing out the shares affected by Judge
Balls decision Monday, the total eff
fective vote is 663,669 shares. Based
upon previous meetings of the Illinois
Central railroad, the estimate is made
that approximately 100000 shares will
not be voted. This. in the opinion of
the attorneys In the case, will leave a
probable representation of 563,669
shares at the meeting
The decision of Judge Ball was
granted after the attorneys for Mr..
Hartman and Mr.. Fish had filled the
day with arguments, and was the re-
suit Of an agreement reached between
Thomas Nelson Cromwell, represent
ing Hartman. and Judge Farrar, OF
New Orleans, who acted for Fish.

A UNIFORM BILL OF LADING.
THE INTERSTATE COMMISSIONS
PLAN FOR ONE Is OPPOSED.
Shippers Desire to Have Two Forms
Of the Bill, One to be Made
Negotiable.
Trs "ESrsnprsis" &

Washington, Oct. 16.-That the uni
form bill of lading which 1t is proposed
to put into effect on all the railroads
of the country on January ] by the
Interstate commerce commission Is
not satisfactory to the commercial In
terests and that two separate bills of
lading should be adopted instead, was
pointed out at hearing of those in
terests before the Interstate COM
merce commission Tuesday
The hearing was one Of the most
important ever held by the commits
sion from the standpoint of the inter-
ests affected. as the adoption of uni
form bill of lading in the transporta-
ton of freight by railroad will involve
radical departure from the methods
now in use. At the present time the
railroads of the United States use
separate bills of lading and it is the
desire of the commission, the shipping
and the railroad interests to secure
uniformity in the matter.
II was the concensus of opinion of
the representatives of the interests
heard that recommendation should
be made for the adoption by the COM
mission, instead of the one which it
was proposed to put into effect. of two
distinct bills of lading which should
be uniform in character, one to be
known as straight" bill of lading.
and the other an order" bill of lad
ing.
Ar order" bill of lading is a ncgo.
table instrument upon which money
can be loaned, and straight bill of
lading is an ordinary receipt which
the railroad company gives for a con.
signment of goods. 1t was argued
that should the commission adopt the
two proposed bills of lading, justice
to all interests conceued would be
afforded.
