ficials and employees and have given
fresh impetuts to the elaborate man
hunt started for the train wreckers
At the close of a secret conference
held recently President McCrea of the
Pennsylvania started for pittsburg to
lead In person the operations against
the train wreckers. This conference
was called by President McCrea and
attended by divisional superintend-
ents. General Manager Atterbury.
head of the railroad detective force.
and Pinkerton officials. 1t was the
revelations of the detectives that de-
cided Mr.. McCrea to come to the
scene of operations and to lead the
extraordinary measures proposed for
the capture of the wreckers.
The first thing the detectives re-
ported was that they had discovered
that the disastrous wreck OF the eigh.
teen hour flyer at Mineral Point, In
the Alleghanies. on February 90. was
undoubtedly the work of wreckers.
Spikes and fish plates had been with
drawn in the same manner as at the
wreck at Stewart, Pa. on March %,
as at Turtle Creek on March "a. and
as at Hudson. o.. Saturday night.
The detectives declared 1t was their
theory that the vandalism was com
mitted with robbery as its object in
every case
President McCrea has declared that
he will have the Pennsylvania safe to
travel on If he has to put a man on
every yard of rail as far as St Louis
though he would not divulge the plans
against the wreckers.
Besides open rewards amounting to
$4,000 for information that will lead
to their capture. large secret rewards
to employees and officers have been Of

To Change Bill Of Lading.

Business will be greatly facilitated
throughout the country by changes
the eastern railroads are planning TO
make In the proposed uniform bill!
of lading, which the shippers have
been trying for years TO induce them
to issue IL an agreement can be
reached with the shippers. the rail
roads will throw sufficient safe
guards around the bill OF lading so
that the banks throughout the coun.
try will take them without question.
II Is the purpose OF the railroads.
In fact. to make bills OF lading the
safest possible medium Of exchange
so that the shipper will be In abom
the same position In business
sense as he would be II he had Ger
titled check for the value OF his ship
ment. At present the banks loan
money on bills OF lading. and mil
lions OF dollars are In circulation
backed by that security. despite the
fact that the railroads have In the
past tried to make them non-negotia-
BILE. The banks complain. however,
that the risk Is too great and that
the safeguards are not sufficient.
Recently the attorney for the Illi
nois Manufacturers association and
several members of the association
went to New York and held confer.
ence with several of the leading
eastern traffic men, The result was
decision to hold a conference here
either next Monday or April %. be.
tween the subcommittee OF the east
ern lines and the Illinois Manufac-
turers' association committee. with
reference to the uniform bill of lad
ing
The proposition of the railroad
men ;s to remain in convention un-
iii the uniform bill Of lading IS
agreed upon" To this the shippers
committee has assented, When the
details are settled it is then the pur'
nose of the shippers and of the rail-
roads to present the bill OF lading TO
congress for passage. It is expected
that there will be no difficulty in Sc
curing its passage as a law. so that
II will become the legal regulation
regarding all interstate shipments
Such a plan will give 1t the backing
of the government.
Lost One Months Advance.
It is estimated that the delay In
concluding negotiations between the
western railroads and the conduc'
tors and trainmen cost these employ
es about $750,0oO. The expenses OF
the committees representing the con-
ductors and trainmen aggregated
about $1,000 per day or about $50.
600 for 80 days. The prolongation
of the conference set back the date
when the increase in wages would
become effective from March &c
April /, or 30 days.
Had the original proposition OF the
railroads been accepted in February
said a railroad official, the increases
varying from s to 10 per cent would
have become effective on March 1

MATINEE CLUB
WEEKLY RACES
May not be Continued Dur
ing the Summer
Members of the Club are Taking
Very Little Interest in Suc-
cess of the Organization

If matters do not progress with
moro rapidiiy than they have IN the
past few weeks, there now seems u
probability that the weekl.E races
given by the Matinee club last sea-
SON will not be continued this year.
Twice thus far meetings have been
called 10 get the members To out
line program for the coming sum
mer, but scach of these meetings na'
failed of quorum and nothing has
aS yet been accomplished.
1t is believed by the more enthu-
siastic members that something in
the way OF matinee races can be
given this summer, but unless more
members put their shoulders to the
wheel il is likely that matters will
be allowed to drop.
Financially the club is in good
condition, there being at this time
q balance of %lGS IN the bank TO
the clubs credit. But eleven mem
bers attended last nights meeting
and no arrangements have been
made for calling another, However,
there are hopeful souls who will
not lay down without making an
