Washington, Sept. 2S.-"Accessorial
service" may take place in the
American vocabulary along with
"brain-storm," "Dementia Ameri-
cana" affinitios' and unwritten law"
1t sounds good, and some of the
leading railroads of the United States
are going to try the phrase when the
government takes up its action
against them for alleged rebates to
the sugar trust.
"Accessorial service" is the defense
behind which the rebators and rebat-
ed will seek shelter. 1t will be al
legged that the rebates cited were
simply charges paid the consignee for
certain "accessorial services perform
ed by it for the railroads.
Now that the plan Of defense has
been decided upon some of the lead
ing lawyers of the country are en-
gagged in working out the scheme Of
action which the roads will adopt

Kimball, S. D., Sept. 2s.-Former
Senator Pettigrew today sprung
sensation in the national campaign
when he made the declaration that
four years ago through a former as
sCciate senator he was offered by the
republican national committee $10,-
600 to make speeches favoring Tom
Watson, the populist presidential can
didate.
Senator Pettigrew's statement was
made this morning after a conference

The senator declined at this time to
make public the name of the senator
through whom the offer was made,
but said he would do so later if the
republicans denied the charge.
Democrats declare that Senator
Pettigrews statement may throw con-
siderable light upon campaign meth

cal movements that are supposed to
detract from the democratic vote.
