Valuable as Lowers.

Investigation of Figures Shows
Vast Earnings OF Pullman
People.
c o M PANY MAY FIGH 7

! Washington, April 10.---Thc Inter-
state Commerce Commission in a de-
cison to-day holds it to be unjust aud
unreasonable" for the Pullman Com
pany to charge equally for the upper
and lower bcrths in it's sleeping cars.
Differential charges are ordered IN
several instances, and Pullman rates
from Chicago to the Pacific coast are
ordered rcducnd
While this ruling of tho commission
orders reductions In rates which were
specifically and formally complained of.
II is recognized as the opening wedge
for REIMBURSEMENT Of sleeping car
rates wherever they exceed the average
which the commission has found to be
lust and reasonable in these instances.
The Pullman Company, 1T is stated, will
carry the decision to the courts.
The commission ruled that the pre-
sent Pullman rate of $500 from St.
Paul 20 the Pacific coast was too high,
and ordered II reduced to $40. The pre-
sent rate OF Sia for an upper berth Is
ordered reduced TO $3.50.
\ short nights Journey the commits
son holds. should not carr rate OF
more than $50 for lower berth and
st10 for an upper. The rate of s.
WuiGH tUE EIIlPiALN AAets tAA~&A
from ST. Paui 10 Fargo, n D., ~
miles, Is ordered reduced accordingly.
The prevailing upper berth rate OF
$3.50 is reduced 10 st.to between s..
Paul and Superior. WIS. and the up
yer berth rate between st. Paul and
Grand Fork IS reduced from 81 20 $3.50.
The rates prevailing are approved Tor
lower herths.
The report. written by Commissioner
Franklin *. Lane, Is brief, and does not
disclose the exhaustive examination
whlch was made OF the Pullman Conf
pany's affairs. But the record shows
the commissions investigation OF the
sleeping car companies contracts, gem
eral system OF charges and earnings,
revealed annual dividends of nearly
sso.oooooo from 1899 to 1909 inclusive.
The investigation showed that the
amount carried 20 surplus annually ala
nor fall far short OF the annual divt-
bends of S per cent; mat in 1888 a cash
dividend OF s1.2Oe0o0 was divided OUT
Of accumulated surnlus in 1892 a
special stock dividend of 30 per cent,
amounting TO StS.oo0,o0h, was declared
AID in 1907 another Of 36 per cent,
amounting to S26,015,256, was divided.
During Il period of eleven years s5l,-
100000 in special cash and stock divi-
bends were paid, in addition 10 the an
nual ones
In 1898 inc stock of the company was
Increased from s36,0O0.90O to 100000
900. of which 100000 800 is accounted
for by the acquisition of the Wagner

then plunge downward
Its flight was too quick for the
occupants of the car to Jump, and they
huddled on the floor OF the tonneau
The biplane struck squarely on the

crumpled over on the canopy top. Mars
