against the Great Northern Railway
company, alleging the enforcement Of
unreasonable rates for the transporta-
ton of steel rails sixty feet in length
on twin cars, was heard before Special
Examiner Martin S. Decker for the In
terstate Commerce commission today.
The complaint is based on n Shipment
of $50 cars of steel rails sixty feet in
length from Johnston, Pa, TO the Seat
tie Electric companv in March, 1906.
Seventy-hve per cent of the marked
capacity of the twenty twin cars in
which the shipment was made was L.,
$4,000 pounds, and calculating the
shipment at the minimum rate of $4,000
pounds per car, the total would have
been 100000.
II. s. Ensley, counsel for the COM
plainant, said the crux Of the COM
plant was whether the minimum os-
tablished rate for freight of $4,000
pounds per car applied TO the loading
of steel cars with rails 60 feet long.
He said the loading prescribed by the
Master Car Builders association is that
twin cars shall not be loaded over
seventy.tive per cent of their marked
capacity, and contended that rates ap-
piled only to single-car shipments.
1T was announced that as the Great
Northern Railway company was not
represented at the hearing, the testi-
mony taken in support Of the COM
plaint VIII be submitted to the Inter
state Commerce commission

LAST ECHO OF THE
SwETTENHAM AFFAIR
Colonial Secretary Forced Gov
ernOr of Jamaica to Make
Full Apology.

LONDON, April ia white paper
issued this evening gives verbatim the
letters of Admiral Davis and Governor
Swettenham concerning the embarrass-
ing Kingston incident, and also the
cabled comment of the Colonial Secre-
tary, Lord Elgin. The latter notified
the Governor Jan. 90 that eff such a
letter is correctly attributed TO you, /
must observe that both in tone and ex-
preston it is highly improper and espe-
cially unbecoming to His Majesty's rep
resentatlve in addressing an officer of
n friendly power. l must further re-
quire you to withdraw forthwith and
unreservedly any such letter and to ex-
press your regret for having written it,
Your withdrawal should be telegraphed
to me at once, when it will be trans
mitted to the Government Of the United
States through the proper channels.
On Jan. "a the Governor cabled to
the Colonial Secretary asking that the
following be transmitted to Admiral
Davis:
'At the instance of the Secretary of
State for the Colonies, L desire to fully
and unreservedly withdraw my letter of
Jan. IS and to express my regret that
wrote it. -
On the same day the Governor cabled
to Lord Elgin as follows:
81 respectfully apply for permission
to retire on account of age forthwith,
and to be relieved"

HUGE TERMINAL AT CHICAGO.
Project on Foot to Realize Plan Of
Fred D. Delano.


CHICAGO, April l9.-According to
reports from authoritative sources,
there is new and important feature
to the new passenger station project
of the Chicago q Western Indiana road
at Polk street. 1t is nothing less than
an effort TO realize the plan of Fred
erick ID. Delano, president of the Wa
bash railroad, for a great union passen~
ger station extending from State street
west TO the river.
The present plan differs from that of
Mr.. Delano only In that he proposed TO
locate tho station either on Twelfth
or Taylor streets. The proposed new
station is also to extend on the east
only TO the present east line of Ply
mouth Place, but IN all practical essen
tials 1T carries out Mr.. Delano s gem
eral plan.
The plans also contemplate the ex-
tension of the union elevated loop TO
Polk street and the widening of the
latter from 66 feet It's present width,
TO loo feet, making it the broadest
business thoroughtare in the city.
AS far as known, present plans con
template the entrance into the proposed
station Of the roads now entering the
Rock Island and Lake Shore station
at VanBuren and LaSalle streets,
those entering the Grand Central sta
ton at Harrison street and Fifth ave-
nue., in addition to the roads now en-
tering the present Pclk street station.
1t is also intimated that the Pennsyl-
yania road may decide to enter the sta.
tion.
1t is stated that anything approach
ing tangible agreement or under.
standing among the interested roads
has not yet been reached, but it is also
stated positively that the Rock Island
and Lake Shore roads, which heretofore
nave been q pronounced stumbling
block 70 the project, now have it under
serious consideration, and it is thought
there Is good chance Of their pro.
nouncing in its favor

KEEP YOUR MONEY AT HOME
Influence of Local Pride in Giving
New Insurance Companies
a BOOST.

During the last two years there have
been organized some forty or more life
insurance companies. and as many more
entered upon the first stages OF promotion
In various sections OF the country. The
onslaught made upon the old companies
and the loss OF prestige and business sus-
tained by those most violently attacked
seemed TO present the opportunity for the
establishment Of new life insurance COM
panies that professional promoters were
looking for. Most OF these new organiza-
lions appeal generally 10 local pride. and
starting out with the war cry OF keep
your money at home" ask the support
OF the people Of their own state especially.
Some OF them have actually been IN bust
ness for a year or more. and their first
annual statements show that their appeals
to local pride have not been in vain. for
they have written in the aggregate many
millions OF new business, while their finan-
cial accounts indicate a ''como-to-stay'
condition They all expect 70 increase
their business year by year, and as they
grow stronger they will ignore local linn
itations and enter into general competition
with the older companies. Many agents
and solicitors who were thrown out Of en-
ployment by the old companies have en-

keener than ever. and the old companies
will have to make use OF every means 70
maintain their records for srowth and ex-
pansion. The three giants" became espe-
cially vulnerable in consequences OF the
Armstrong investigation, and Il may be
taken for granted that the new companies
viii lose no opportunity 70 use the facts

discredit OF the others. This is danger
evidently not calculated upon by the man
ayers OF the old companies, whose attitude
toward their field men and the public has
been that rather OF repulsion than attrac-
ton. II Is not surprising, therefore, to md

climatic conditions are felt and the total
Absence Of absorptive qualities renders
Il the least active agent In the reten-
tion Of foul odors or infected atmosphere,
which may arise from any one Of many
conditions not easily guarded against.
Mr. Reinick suggests that while adverse
criticism Of the baroness and inartistic
appearance of concrete walls might be
given, but few of them appear to be jus
titled. In construction with concrete
there are instances where artistic effect
Is lost and the walls appear particularly
cold and dead, but this is not TO be
charged up against concrete-the archiA
tect. builder and owner may share in the
responsibility. They usually do. The
grays and light browns Of the facing Of
concrete are not inartistic by any means.
Hollow Block Construction.
The hollow block construction is the
more simple. and in many small towns
and cities the making Of concrete blocks
is a profitable business, the concrete
block being used in the place Gf brick
Not only does the hollow block admit
of easier and safer electric wiring by
furnishing conduits of fireproof material,
( but these may be utilized as ventilatlng
hues and for receptacles for gas and
water pipes To lay the hollow blocks
requires no more skill than to lay brick.
and with the numerous molds, which
! give a great variety of faces Of rough
| and dressed stone, there is small excuse
| for failure to secure an artistic appear
ance. The exterior is sometimes treated
| with a cement mortar or pebble dash.
Firepiaces, stsircases, mantels and
| heavy shelves have been made with con-
crete, reinforced with iron or steel, and
these give a faint hint of its use in the
/ future on the interior Of dwellings. With
the wall covers Of various tints and
/ shades the concrete surface can be made
to appear in any color desired to har-
monize with the scheme of interior dec

struction, concrete commends itself from
a strictly mercenary point of. view. 1t

now marching under the banners OF the
new organizations. Among these latter are
many IN the west and south, in which
sections there has long existed considerable
feeling against the great financial and in
dustrial Institutions OF the east, and an
appeal to local pride, when endorsed by
well known and trusted local men, has
generally met with substantial results.
The promoters of the new life companies
are working this local feeling to the full
limit, and with much success. Properly
managed, they win soon outgrow their
local fields and win expand and spread
until they cover the entire field and be
able TO hold their own against all comers
