Mans Name to Pay Check.


Clyde C. Embrey, a switchman employed
by the Union Pacific, was arrested yester-
day morning at the transfer yards as a
fugitive from justice. Bmbrey Is wanted at

employee in Rock Island, to have forged
Bakers name to the pay roll and then
forged Bakers name to the check and
got it cashed in a saloon. Later Baker APP

condition that Emten should each summer
send the child to visit her grandmother.
Bmten expressed his willingness to com
ply with this condition.
A pathetic scene ensued when the de-
cision was announced. The grandmother,
with the tears streaming dow her
cheeks. pleaded to be permitted to retain
the little girl and finally fell on her
knees before the father, begging piteously
for him not 10 take the child from her.
The little girl appeared to be the least
affected Of all interested In the case. To
Judge Snyder abe said she would rather
stay with her grandmother but did not
display any emotion. When the party left

DENY STICRNEY RATE STORY
Local Railroad Men Say Law is Not
Being Violated.
NO SECRET DEAL WITH BIG MEN
spens of Burlington Points to Fact
thai All Tariffs Are Checked by
Commissions Agent al Suf-
ficient Argument.

Railroad officials Of the lines centering
in Omaha AXE sharp issue with A. B.
Stickney, former president of the Chicago
Great Western, for the statement he has
been giving out that the railroads are still
evading the spirit Of the anti-rebate laws
by ingenious classiflcations and by conceal
ing rates favorable TO the big shippers by
technicalities of their tariffs.
The Interstate Commerce commission
has prescribed the manner in which tariffs
providing for freight and passenger rates
are to be issued" said c. E. lSpens, general
freight agent of the Burlington. "All tar
ifs must be sent to Washington, where
they are received and checked by the
agents of the commission and unless they
conform technically to the plan outlin ed
by the commission they are rejected. 1t
seems to me hat this is sufficient reply
to the ~insinuation Of Mr.. Stickney that
there is any manipulation or that there is
any secrecy, even. in the manner of pub
lication or in the rates themselves as they
obtain today. All tariffs of carriers are
open to the public for inspection and this
means they are open for the inspection OF
all shippers whether they are shipping a
ten-pound lot or a shipment Of 1000 cars
Of tonnage"

Mr.. Stickney's statements rave aroused
considerable controversy and may lead
to a final investigation OF the entire sub
ject and a formal ruling which will pass
upon the equity OF lower trainload rates
tina the charges imposed for smaller
shipments.
In a letter to the Interstate Commerce
commission Mr.. Stiekney said:
Il think you are correct in supposing
that the secret rates to favored shippers,
as formerly prscticed, have practically dis
appeared; but as a matter Of fact the for
mer method of making such secret rates
is the only part OF them which has dis
appeared. Many rates which are concealed
in the verbiage Of the 500 or coo tariffs
which are filed with you daily are really
more secret than the former secret rates.
