ADDITIONAL RAILROAD REeu'
LATioN WILL pc ASKED
OF CONGRESS.

DENVER. Col. Jan. 20.-It is likely
that congress will hear few things
about the need for additional railroad
regulation before the eleventh annual
convention of the American Nationa'
Live Stock association is ended. Hun
dreds of delegates arrived in Denver
to-day to attend the meeting, which
opens tomorrow morning. and nearly
every one has bone to pick with the
railroads. The shortage of stock cars
which has resulted in loss of thou
sands of dollars to western cattle
men in the last year, is the principal
source OF complaint.
Another matter which will be ar
gued pro and con is that Of the ma
tional Administrations policy in I'd
gard to forest reserves and public
grazing grounds. A majority Of th'
stock raisers are decidedly oppose
to the Roosevelt regime. in this mat
ter. and will likely give expression
to their opinions in vigorous language
The subject of the extension OF for
eign markets for the meat products O.
this country will also receive much
attention. Government meat inspec
ton and the cost thereof will be fully
considered. The financial stringency
and its remedy. from the standpoint
of cott1emen. will afford an interest
ing discussion.
If the number Of delegates already
here and the interest they are mani
testing is criterion, 1t is certain that
the convention will be the most large
~ attended and important in the his
tory of the organization. Western
stockmen are confronting many prob
lens of vital interest to their welfare
and prosperity and are determined to
use every means in their power to So
cure relief AS political force tn"
stockmen of the country and their de
pendents are no insignificant factor
and they will probably take advantage
of this fact to urge congress to action
It is declared by a prominent Texas
cattleman that the railroad service
both in the matter of supplying suttl-
Client cars and in the proper transpor
tatlon of live stock. is more demoral
lied to-day than ever before. Hun
ilreds of thousands of cattle which hal
been fattened and put into prime con
dition for the market have had to be
turned back to the ranges on account
of the inability to get cars for their
shipment to market. All the labor
and expense OF stocEmen in fattenin"
these cattle was wasted. involving =
loss of hundreds OF thousands of dol.
lars. Laws for regulating the service
performed by railroads are even more
important than laws regulating rates
in the opinion of prominent stockmen
and they will demand that congress
pass a bill at this session afFordinR

 Heavy Fine.


 Heavy Fine. Chicago, Aug. 7.--The Atchison, To- peka and Santa Fe Railroad Company, by it's counsel. pleaded guilty to re- batting today and was assessed a fine of S7,o00 by Judge Bethea In the United States Court.
 The Government, represented by Dis trict Attorney Edwin W. Sims. proved that a bonus paid by the railroad to the Garden City Sugar and Land Com pany of Garden City, Kas., was fn ef- feet a rebate. The railroad. through its industrial department, offered the Gar den City bonus of s50.00 for locating on its line. This bonus was to be paid as freight was shipped and q year ago the Sugar and Land Company had paid $22,000 in freight charges. and had re- ceived sl1.000 of its benus. It was by this arrangement that the scheme came under the ban of the Interstate Com merce and Elkins laws. The decision does not. 1t Is said, affect the paying of legitimate bonuses to assist new industries.
