close number. of ingenious devices
employed by the packers for securing
rebates in evasion of the law. One
scheme employed was the use of false
claims against the railroad companies.
Combined with this was the over-val-

consignment over certain road at the
legal rate of freight the packer would
fix up false claim for damages and

1t is strongly suspected here
though there is no official confirmation
tof this fact--that the railroads are
backing the prosecution of the pack

are moved by their desire to get bust

thing like to cut rates or give back
money in rebates which they have re

1t has always been the claim of rail
road traffic officials that they were
forced by big shippers to give rebates
1t appears that the beef trust magnates
playing into each others hands hav,
together been working the railroadi

little more than previously, to maxi

OTHERS TURN TO LAUGH.

Yesterday about noon the high wind
caused many funny things to happen
on the streets down town while peo-
pie were on their way to and from
lunch. One man stood on the corner
at Seventeenth street waiting for his
car, and Just as friend of his came
along, the wind suddenly seized his
hat and carried it heavenward with
wonderful speed, The friend who was
coming up the street commenced to
laugh, when suddenly his own hat
scooted up the street at a speed that
would have put streak of lightning
to shame. At the same time the first
hat which had taken, the skyward
course came down as suddenly as il
had gone up, and its owner had only
to stoop and pick it up. 1t was then
his turn to laugh as his friend started
up the street in pursuit of his sky
piece. He who laughed last laughed
best, too, for the man who had tc
chase. his hat would probably have
been chasing it yet had it not been
for. a friendly building some blocks
away which interfered with it's prog

its entries have been explained to the

Leg Badly Broken
by an Automobile
Hamilton Knocked Down and Seri-
ously Hurt at Twenty-Second
and Farnam Streets.

C. A.. Hamilton was knocked down by an
electric automobile at 1 o'clock yesterday
afternoon at Twenty-second and Farnam
streets. suffering a fracture of the leg and
being rendered unconscious.
The car which ran into Hamilton is the
property OF T.. V. Lewis Of Crane
g. Co, but was being driven by a
youth employed, il Is said. by the Electric
Garage company Of 1920 Farnam BY one
OF those condolences which seem amazingly
strange, Mr.. Lewis was on the street car
with Hamilton. He saw Hamilton drop off
the car, which failed TO stop at the first
signal to the motorman, and then saw the
motor car strike the unfortunate man, who
was thrown a dozen feet by the blow.
Lewis was the first man at my side, p
said Hamilton last night, and has been to
see me again this evening
1t Is declared that the youth running the
electric had IL going at a high rate OF speed
and sounded no alarm. When Lewis picked
up Hamilton, who was unconscious. the
former did not know as yet that II was
his own auto which had run the man down.
Hamilton was taken to his room az 1906
Farnam In the neighborhood OF the acci-
dent. He has suffered a badly sprained
wrist as wen as fracture of the leg. Ho
will be taken 10 81. Joseph's hospital this
morning.
The night superintendent OF the Electric
Garage company was as ignorant about the
accident last evening as only a railroad
