Chicago, Oct. 13.-ls the bitter
controversy OF 1905 between the
railroads and the shipping interests
of the United states over the pro-
posed 10 per cent increase In freight
rates about to be renewed?
That the shippers believe tie car
riers have not abandoned their cam
paign for advanced rates, which was
dropped the first of the year, is indi-
Gated by a call for a general meeting
of shippers organizations to be held
IN Cincinnati on Oct 10. Plans will
be FORMULATED to block any such ac-
ton on the part of the roads.
The cali Is issued by sixteen ship
pers and business mems organiza-
tions of Ohio and Indiana, headed by
the Receivers, and shippers assoeia-

circular letter which were received in
Chicago yesterday show that what
are now regarded as the preliminary

that the price was too high. they
went to a seed house in Paducah

To which I answer, and ! think al
most all of us who went to Copen-

man. but rather a child-a native
inexperienced child, who sorely need
ed some one to look after him, and
take care of him. and tell him what
he ought to do in his own interest
II was really almost pathetic to see
his efforts to readjust himself TO the
busy. bustling. new environment of
modern civilization.

Tyr he was always asking, with the
absent air of a man who has lived
six months at time in the timeless
solitude of the Arctic night. AS for
his inability to protect his own inter-

ity on his part to forestall hostile
criticism, to pacify ignorant but
clamorous interviewers avid for

do not understand, that did as much
as anything else to convince every
body of his honesty. He either neg
lected or threw away the most OBJ
vious chances He had at his abso-
