the railroads have larger incomes if improve

while gross returns had been at record figures for
two years and net earnings had also shown up
strongly, the increases in fixed charges. combined

wisdom. and viii come forward and join with the
railroad managers in advocating higher rates.
Such action on the part Of the large shippers, OF
course, will mean that the small shippers will
rapidly fall into line.
Mr.. oppenheim is equally firm in his belief that
the wages OF railroad employees should not under
any circumstances be reduced On this point he
takes the same view as that recently expressed by

Evident Agreement Between a
 Man and Foster Son
TO EXPIRE AT SAME TIME
Youths Body Found In the Vicinity of Fort Sheridan and Staggering Along Delirous From Self-Inflictcd Injurie. Came German Musician.

Chicago. May 19.-What appears to have been an agreement on the part of Henry Rudolph Amann, a German musician forty-three years old and his twelve-year-old foster son. Walter knobel to die together came to light Sunday.
 Amann was found staggering through the woods near Fort Sheridan delirious from self-inflicted wounds. The facts, as gleaned from the musi- clans rambling statements when par. tially revived at the hospital at the Tort, were that Amann, for season as not yet learned, led the boy into the forest last Friday, and after wander. ing about for nearly two days had gained the boys consent that Amann should kill him. The body of the child was found Sunday afternoon pierced through the heart by knife blade. Amann had stabbed himself twice in the breast
 A letter was found in Amanns pock. ct which he declared the boy had written. and which tended to prove that the latter knew what his fate was to be and welcomed 1t. The let ter read: Please bury us together in one grave. Everything was against us. l do not want to live without my father. l go of my own free will"
 The letter was signed Walter" and was in child's hand
 All day Amann lay in a trance at the fort and raved about the deed Il have killed my own son" he mur. mured over and over. He knew that intended to die, and he didn't want to be separated from me. He smiled when I raised the knife. He was a brave little fellow. and not afraid as to die
