LEAvENWORTH ELKs TO BUILD.
The Order Will Spend $4,000 for a
New Home.

Leavenworth, June 6.-The Leaven-
worth Elks are to build $4,000 club
house at the southwest corner of
Fourth and Seneca streets. Construc-
ton will begin in the fall as soon as the
plans are completed. The lots. which
the Elks have been holding under an
option for the last year, during which
the project has been under discussion,
will be purchased today. They are to
cost $500.
The decision to build a club house
was reached last night at a speciai
business meeting held for the purpose
of considering the matter of a home
for the organization. The meeting was
attended by nearly a hundred of the
members of the lodge.
The building will be built out OF the
funds that the lodge now has on
hands supplemented by bond issue
to be bought by the members OF the
local lodge.
1t has been proposed by the Eagles,
in the event that the Elks decided to
build at the corner of Fourth and
Seneca streets to buy the Washington
house property opposite and there
erect a club house.

NO GENERAL ADVANCE,
Western Lines Abandon Plans But
Nav Increase Coast Rates,

Chicago. June 6.-The move to in
crease freight rates 10 per cent in
western territory is not progressing
very fast. The lines in the western
classification have practically aban-
doned trying to bring about a general
advance in rates, while the transcon-
tinental lines have practically agreed
upon a much smaller increase than
was at first contemplated. 1t is likely
that all transcontinental rates, both
class and commodity rates, advanced
S per cent per 100 pounds on car
loads, and 10 cents per 100 pounds on
less than carloads from New York,
Chicago and the Missouri river to the
Pacific coast.
The first class rate is rs cents per
100 pounds, and it is stated that all the
transcontinental rates are exceedingly
low 1t was found impracticab1e to
make greater increases for several
reasons. One is the water competition
from New York to San Francisco,
which operates to keep rates down.
The revenue which the increase now
talked of will produce will, it is said,
not be very great. The lines which are
members of the western classification
have abandoned doing anything Of i'm
portance in the rate movement.
No effort will be made to increase
the class rates owing to the fact that
it can not be done without reckoning
with two state commissions which gov
ern rates between the Mississippi and
the Missouri rivers.

RAILROAD NEWS.
April Earnings of Kansas City
Southern Show Loss.
Decrease Is the Heaviest During
Entire Depression Period.
ROAD IN GOOD SHAPE.
Other Months Have Reported
Big Business and Earnings.
Other Items of Interest in
Railway Circles.

April earnings of the Kansas City
Southern show the largest losses which
it has reported since the present per-
lod of depression set in. This probably
Is because the comparison Is made with
remarkably good month last year.
Last year the road did an enormous
business, showing an increase of near
ly 100000 in gross for the month, of
which s160,OO0 was saved as the increase
in net. If gross earnings for the month
this year be compared with those of
1906, it will be found that they do not
make SO poor showing. Gross for
April, 1908, was 1852, AT, while in April,
1906, they were $67s.73S. This year they
were considerably better than those for
the same month in 1905, wnen they
amounted to but $3.50 2S5. Comparison
of net earnings with these carrier
periods makes a still more satisfactory
showing for April. Net amounted to
1892, ZIG. while for 1905 it was but $124,-
628 and for 1906 it was $167. 240. Last
year. however, it ran up to $35S,215.
Notwithstanding heavy losses in
gross earnings for each month since
last December, the road still has near
ly 100000 to the credit of the current
hscal year as the increase in its gross
earnings for ten months. It's net earn
HlSS, however, LOT tnlS per1OQ 90 not
make nearly so favorable a showing.
They are nearly 100000 less than those
for the same period last year.
For April the ratio of operating ex-
penses to gross earnings was 64.76 per
cent, as compared with $3.50 per cent
In March, 68.48 per cent in February
and $3.50 per cent in January. The
ratio of conducting transportation
charges to gross earnings for April
was 1882 per cent, which compares with
35.13 per cent for the ten months which
ended on April 80. In March conduct
ing transportation charges was 1888
per cent of gross, while in February it
was 1878 per cent and in January 41.21
per cent. These figures indicate that
the Kansas City Southern has got
pretty good control of it's operating ex-
penses.
Closest estimates of the final results
for the current year tend to show that
the road will have a surplus after the
payment of dividends on the preferred
stock of considerably more than 81,
OOO, 900.

FOR FALSE IMPRISONMENT.
Baxter Man Sues the City for Several
Thousand Damages.

Baxter Springs, June 81. B. Wat
son of Baxter Springs, through his at
torney, has filed suit in the Galena
division of the district court asking for
judgment against the city OF Baxter
in the sum of $1,000, alleging damages
to that amount for being wrongfully
assaulted and imprisoned in the Jail
Of that city for one day. The suit is
brought against the city officials and
the bondsmen.
Watson asserts, according to a
statement made by his attorney, that
he was notified to pay his occupation
tax in Baxter Springs, and that he in
formed the city clerk that he would do
so on certain date. which was salts
factory, but on that day he was ar

NO ADVANCE JULY 1.
Time for Filing Notice With Commits
sion Is Past.

Washington, June 6.-The interstate
commerce commission announced to-
day that there will be no increases OF
freight rates on July 1. The date has
passed when notices of increases eff
fective July can be filed with the
commission. and no important in
creases have been announced. The
commission believes the roads have
given up any plans they may have had
TO increase rates. They think this due
to the government suit against the
New Haven road and to the interviews
with commissioners, pointing out that
concerted increases in rates would
make the roads liable to the Sherman
antitrust law.
