The Young Womens Christian assocaz tion has fallen heir to an annual endow- ment of $500, being part of the T. T. Hillman fund which has been di. verted from the annual appropriation made to the Hillman hospital As that institution has now' become the property of the Jefferson county board of revenue, the fund provided for the maintenance of the hospital, through the will of the lase MT, Hillman, can no longer be used by this institution. Mrs. Hillman will di- vide il among other institutions in this city, the Young Women's Christian asso- citation to receive $500 year. A check for the amount has been sent the secretary.
 Suitable action will be taken by the board upon Mrs. Hillmans munficent gift. The association, which occupies temporary quarters in the Watts build ing, and which also maintains a home for it's members on North Twenty-first street, owns a building site upon which 1t hopes to erect a commodious home Efforts have been made to raise the funds but the past few months have not been considered timely for an appeal The work of the association, naturally some- what curtailed on account of the moneyed strain, has, however. continued through Judicious management

MAKES CHARGE
TO GUST BANK TX,
Sensational Suit Is Filed in Chicago
Against President of Western
Trust and Savings In
stitution

MILWAUKEE,. Wis. Nov. 6.-Suit
to oust the Western Trust and Saw
ings bank of Chicago as trustee of
the $40 900, 900 bonds issue of the Chi
cago- Milwaukee Electric Railroad COM
pany was begun today by Alexander
Beaubein, a bondholder, who makes
sensational charges concerning Presi-
dent A. C. Frost and others who had
to do with the construction OF the
road.
Mr.. Beaubein is unable to state ex-
actly the amount of the alleged illegal
bond issue, but thinks that one-half
of the entire $10,0O0,O00 worth of bonds
were issued to cover property valued
at less than the required rs per cent
of the par value of the bonds.
On the petition of the plaintiff Court
Commissioner Hugh Ryan issued a
temporary injunction restraining the
bank from acting as trustee of the
railroad company or attempting to 90
so, pending the hearing before Judge
Turner on November II on an order
to show cause why the injunction
should not be made permanent.
Willoughby B. Walling, secretary Of
the bank, who is said to have acted
for the bank in the several deals al
legged to have been. is made a CO.
defendant, as is the Chicago & Mill
waukee Electric Railroad company.
The petition for the injunction re-
cites that January 1, 1905, an issue Of
1000 $1,000 twenty-year first mortgage
bonds was authorized. The bonds were
secured by a trustees mortgage exc
cuted to the bank and Mr.. Walling as
trustee. The plaintiff owns ten bonds,
and AYERS that the company is now
insolvent and the application states
that the interest due January 1, ana
July 1. 1908, has not been paid.
Makes Many Charges
To uphold his claim OF the unfitness
of the present trustees, Mr.. Beaubiens s
complaint recites a lengthy list OF al.
legations, citing specific instances OF
alleged irregularities and juggling OF
the bonds of the road, detrimental TO
the financial interests of the bonoholu-
ers
The object of the suit is to establish
which has priorit-- rights to the rents
and profits of the railroads-the credit
ors at large. or the bondholders, not
all of whom are interested in the pres
ent suit because, the plaintiff alleges,
they are deriving advantages not
shared by Beauplens anu lis ASiio"
dissenterS.
n is alleged neither the bank nor
Walline has complied with the laws
Of Wisconsin regarding the trusteeship
of the character involved.
The receivers certificates, issued on
federal court order for the purpose of
Completing the road, put cloud on
tbe bonds greatly damaging their
value, it is claimed.
1t is alleged that Walling and Jo-
seph e. Otis, president of the defend
ant bank, have been and are in close
touch with A. c. Frost, working with
him on financial arrangements and Civ
ing him too free rein, in violation of
the trust mortgage.

ISSUES MISSOURI
RATE INJUNCTION
Temporary Order Given by Judge
Grosscup Prevents Interstate Conn
merce Body from Execution
of Ruling

CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-Judges Grosscup,
Seman and Baker, in the United States
circuit court today granted tempo
rary injunction restraining the inter
state commerce commission from
carrying into effect its order In what
is known as the Missouri river rate
case"
The court did not go into the merits
of the law in the case, but stated that
the temporary order would issue, in
asmuch as no injustice. would be done
by allowing the old rate to continue
until the matter is finally adjudicated.
Judge Grosscup suggested that the
LAWYERS endeaVor to agree on state
ment of facts which could be pre-
sented without loss of time to the su-
preme court.
The ruling of the interstate com
merce commission, requiring lower
rates between Mississippi and Missouri
river points on shipments originating
east of Pittsburg and Buffalo than in
those originating west of the cities
named. was alleged by the railroads
which entered suit for an injunction
to be revolutionary.
The ruling, it is declared, if allowed
to stand, would fix a principle tanta-
mount to government ownership of the
roads. The ruling was also declared to
discriminate against communities west
of Buffalo and Pittsburg.
Counsel for the commission took the
view that If Chicago or any other city
considered itself Disseminated against
they had but to prove the fact to the
commission to have the rate equal
lied. With these opposing arguments
before them the judge too the case
under advisement.
judge Grosscup's Ruling
Judge Grosscup. in. delivering the
ruling of the court, said:
"Only one feature of the bill, in the
opinion of the court, need be spoken of
at this time. That feature grows out
of the fact that under the order of the
interstate commerce. commission a
rate of 8 cents less was given on first
class and other classes of freight pro-
portionately to traffic from the At
lantic seaboard to Missouri river
points.
'The bill of complaint cites the
opinion of the commission, which
frankly and clearly shows that a diff
ferential of 0 cents was created. To
make the reduction universal in place
of differential would put the eastern
cities on an equality with the Mis-
souri, river cities. Whether the bill
and the answer and the opinion of the
court sufficiently show this condition
is not the question considered or at
tempted to be passed on now.
THE question which the court is
concerned with is: Has the prima facie
case been made out authorizing the
court to enter the interlocutory order
prayed for? The rules of the inter-
state commerce commission are au-
thorized on the ground that they would
prevent undue discrimination.
'orhe sole point TO be considered is:
What is undue discrimination?

Glowing Prophecies Are Sent Out
from New York-General Re-
sumption of Activity
Announced

nj EW YORK, Nov. 6.-The National
~ Association of Manufacturers
~ publishes in the current issue Of
American Industries, it's official maga-
zine. statement on trade conditions
issued by it's 5000 members, represent
ing every branch of industry.
The series of these showing improve
ment in commercial conditions APP
peared in the October Is issue of the
magazine. The series now published
indicates a continuation of this inn
provement and for the most part an
optimistic view of the business out
look.
kilograms were also sent prior to the
election to a number of the associa-
tions members asking them to state
specifically how many workmen would
be added to their present force by De-
cember 1 if nothing occurred to shake
commercial confidence.
A resume of the information con-
tanned in these replies is given by the
magazine as follows:
The percentage of replies received
indicate that an average of 1876 men
each will be added to the majority of
manufacturing plants in the association
by December /.
Half Expect to Prosper
The reports show at least one-half
of the 5000 members of the association
expect 10 'add TO tnelf force more tlldu
100000 workingmen.
Taking this as a basis, says the arti-
Gle, it is safe to assume that the 1900
manufacturers, which according to the
census of 1900 employed an average
each of 100 men or over, will add at
least 50 per cent to their present force
making a total in round figures of
50000 men.
In other words, with the continuance
of the business advance, the important
manufacturing interests of the coun-
try will be enabled to increase their
present force by more than 100000
workingmen to meet the market de-
mands for their products.
In securing this information Demo-
cratic and Republican manufacturers
alike We're addressed. No attempt was
made to limit the canvass to any par
ticular industry or to any particular
section of the country, and the queries
sent to manufacturers were based sole
ly upon actual business conditions and
| business possibilities for the future.
