Roads Must Pay Shippers Inter
est ON Overcharges.
Recent Decision of Commission
Affecting Damages.
WOULD HURRY ROADS

Other Items of Interest in
Railway Circles.
WOULD HURRY ROADS

Chicago, June 25.-Shippers are
overjoyed to observe that the inter-
state commerce commission has recog-
nized the principle of payment of in
terest by the railroads on claims for
overcharges. In the recent decisions
handed down by the commission there
are number in which reparation is
ordered for overcharges. 1t is noted
that IN each case the commission in
awarding the shipper damages adds,
with interest" From this it is as
sumed that the shippers will be able
to collect interest on back claims
when paid, be they claims for over
charges or for loss and damage to
freight. A movement was begun some
months ago by the National Industrial
Traffic league to compel the railroads
to pay interest on all claims after the
expiration of thirty days from the
time they accrued.
The shippers blieve that if the rail-
roads were compelled to pay interest
on the enormous amount of claims
which are paid every year, amounting
IN the aggregate to about $24,000,000,
It would hasten their settlement by the
railroads. The management of the
railroads, however, insist that they
want to settle claims speedily, but
that they can not do so by reason of
IRE necessity of examining them care
fully. If they are too ready to pay
claims they are likely to pay unjust
ones and thereby fall under the sus-
picion of the government for rebating.

NEW FORESTER AT FORT RILEY.
w. Nj. Royal Named for Place Vacated
by f. +. Confer.

Junction City. Kan, June 25.-
Word been received of the appoint
ment of w NJ. Royal of this city sas
forester at the post, to take the place
vacated by F. E. Confer, who left sew
eral months ago for Baltimore. Mr..
Royal for several years has been as
sistant forester at the post and early
this spring took the examination for
the position, which he passed success
fully
1t was not until three years ago
that the government decided to have
a forester employed regularly at the
pointed. During the first year he with
his assistants set out on the hills of
the reservation over $4,000 young
trees, to be used for the protection of
forces in the field. The trees were
catalpa, honey locust, blackberry and
Russian mulberry, and nearly all have
thrived. The greatest loss has been
from the troops that have trampled
Their down, and this year several
thousand more young trees have been
set out
Mr.. Royal last year started a small
nursery near the post and has over
5000 small trees growing, and these
will be transplanted next year and set
out over the reservation. The work of
identifying the post will be carried
five civilians are employed at this
work. Prisoners are also used when
needed.
It is the intention to make Fort
Riley one of the beautiful posts in the
country and the landscape work will
be carried on under the direction Of

sEvENrY-F1vE MORE MEN.
Force at Fort Scott Shops of Missouri
Pacific Increased.

Fort Scott, Kan, June 25.-The
Missouri Pacific shops at this division
is arranging to put about seventy-five
additional men to work the first of
July. This statement came from one
of the shop officials last night. The
shops now have a list of men number
ing 325 and the majority of this num-
Der are skilled mechanics. The road
has such tremendous amount of
work to do to its rolling stock that
the general officers have decided, so it
is learned, to increase the mechanical
forces along the line. 1t is believed
that the increased force will be kept
permanently in service.
The car shops will perhaps never be
what they once were, but the loss sus-
tanned there is more than made up in
the amount of money paid the skilled
mechanics. The company still retains
ITS system of letting the car repair
work to independent contractors, and
the bulk of the work is done at st.
Charles and Sheffield, Mo. The re-
port of the proposed increase will be
welcomed here. The total number of
men working at the shops after the
increase will reach the 400 mark.

no CHANGES IN Cheering.
Baggage Still Checked From Hotels
and Residences.

Chicago. June 25.-The plan of
railroads in the Western Passenger as
ISOLATION to abolish the practice of
checking a travellers baggage to and
from residences and hotels has struck
q snag. Roads like the Illinois Cen
trail and the Chicago & Alton, whose
territory brings them into competition
with Central Passenger association
lines, find it difficult to abandon the
practice.
The western association roads had
decided that after July / baggage
should be checked only to and from
the railway station, thereby depriving
the public of the advantage of having
an agent of a transfer company CO
at the house or hotel for the travellers
trunks and arrage to forward them to
destination. But eastern roads have
manifested no desire to abandon
through checking. The entire ques-
ton has been reopened to be discussed
further at the next monthly meeting
of the western general passenger
agents.

Dwellings Burned.

Fire destroyed the dwelling on the farm
of William S, Wood, in Elk Neck, on
Sunday morning, together with contents,
only few articles being saved. 1t is
supposed the flames originated from the
chimney. The dwelling was a large
frame one, nearly new. There was a
partial insurance Of $1,000 on the property,
carried by the Cecil Mutual Co.
The residence belonging to Mrs. Vir-
ginia Reed and occupied by DIR. H. Austin
Delcher, at Cardiff, Hartford county,
caught on fire in some mysterious way on
Thursday of last week, and was entirely
consumed, together with its contents, in
cluding large number of valuable wed
ding presents. There was no one at home
at the time and the fire is mystery to the
family.
