CHICAGO FoRGER is
TAKEN TO JOLIET

Chicago, Nov. 21.--Peter Van Vlissen-
gen, self-confessed forger to the
amount of more than $500, 900, was taxi
en- TO Joliet today. Fear that the dis
graced financier might attempt suicide
was given as the eason for his re-
moval from the Jail at an earlier late
than had beer expected.
To avoid newspaper photographers
the prisoner in leaving the jail held a.
newspaper over his face. He contin-
ued to use this device in the omnibus
to avoid recognition on tn way to the
union depot. The news that he was
awaiting the train spread quickly In
the neighborhood of the station ard a
crowd OF 200 or 300 people crowded
about him until he went aboard. There
was no demonstration.

Blp Railroads Move TO Raise Frelah
Rates.
New York. April 21.-The executive
oficers OF all the big railroads east OF
tse Mississippi river met in New Yorl

preliminary step To a general increas,
IN freight rates.
Before a new schedule goes into Of
feet the roads will individually TAX,
and another general meeting will be
called for formal action. after which
the required thirty days notice viii
be posted.
The question OF an increase q
freight rates has been the absorbing
topic among railroad men ever sine,
traffic began 10 fall OF, six months
ago. and has been reflected since theI
by a steady decline In net earnings
OF almost every railroad In the United
States. In support OF the proposed ad
vance IL Is asserted that In the last
few years wages have increased fully
20 per cent. that materials are at Least
80 per cent higher than ten years ago
and that taxes have made q substan
tial advance.
IN more recent times there has beer
passed the nine-hour law, Affecting
telegraphers. and many OF the states
have passed two-cent fare bills ane
ordered reductions in freight rates
and the carrying out OF certain Inn
provements.
