REFUND DEMANDED
Of RAILROADS BY
SHIPPERS Of SOUTH
Claims, Aggregating Thou
sands, Filed in Anticipation
of Victory in A. P. Morgan
Grain Case

WASHING==SsSS, Aug. 2.-Hundreds Of
claims for reparation are being filed with
the interstate commerce commission d.
rected against various railroad lines in
what is known as the Southeastern terri
tory-that part of the country south OF
the Ohio and Potomac rivers and east
of the Mississippi. The demands for rep
aration aggregate hundreds of thousands
of dollars. They are filed practically ex-
cluslvely by shippers in the southeastern
territory.
RATES WE'RE ADVANCED.
ON August l. 1908, the railroads In that
territory put into effect tariffs advancing
the rates on freight classes b, Z, ID ana
F, on fresh meats in carloads, and on
grain, grain products, nay and packing
house products from Ohio and MISSISSIPPI
ri river crossings and Nashville, Tenn., 10
points in the southeastern territory Inc
advances on class freight, fresh meats
and packing house averaged about three
cents a hundred pounds and on sraln'
grain products and hay twow cents a
hundred pounds.
HEAVY LOSS ALLEGED.
Formal complaint was instituted against
the railroads on account of the ao-
vances, but the commission mas not YET
decided the case, the title Of which is tne
A. P. Morgan Grain company, OF Atlanta,
Ga, VS. the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad
company and others. The compialnants
aver that they are unable to absorb the
entire advance through their sale price OF
the various commodities and that they
are. therefore, subject to a heavy loss
in the handling of the products.
In anticipation of a decision favorable
to them in the Morgan case, the claim
ants are filing demands for reparation for
the alleged excess charges they have paid
in freight during the last two years. IL
amounts simply to a repetition of the yell
low pine cases, in which the southern
railroads were forced to refund to ship
pers approximately 100000 in freight
charges.
Whatever the decision Of the commits.
sion may be, 1t is likely that the case Will
be carried to the United States supremS
court for final determination.

WIDER ASPIRED TO BE
KING OF THE MARKET

NEW YORK, August 2.-According to
friends of Erwin q. Wider, who Is
charged with having stolen $6S0,0OO from
the Russo-Chnese bank here, the former
cashier many years ago conceived a
scheme for becoming cotton king" by
shrewd market moves. 1t was in an at
tempt to carry out this scheme a few
months ago, they say, that he was over
whelmed. While Wider was short of
cotton, they declare that Patten and his
associates were advancing the price.
The men advising Wider induced him
to keep on turning over securities by
telling him that with just a little more
money they would be able to break Pat
tens pool and he would be the greatest
man in the street.
The report that Wider secreted stolen
securities Of the money he realized on
them is emphatically denied by his coun-
sci.
IF he ever had 500, Co.," said the law
yer, "he would not have kept 1t long. As
a fact he received practically no bene-
fit from the securities he took. Wall
street with its voracious NAV swallowed
them ALL"

ROCKEFELLER TAKES
HIS BATHS IN WHISKY
He Seeks to Preserve Strength
So He Can Continue to
Play Golf

CLEVELAND. Ohio. Aug. John d.
Rockefeller has taken to whisky as
bath. The whisky baths have been pre-
scribed by his physician to preserve his
strength and render him able to with
stand the rigors of golf, his favorite
pastime. This was learned today from
a member of his household.
Mr.. Rockefeller has found the exertions
resultant from strenuous exercise on the
links too fatiguing and his physicians
fear rheumatism will set in unless he
bathes in whisky.
In line with his physicians prescrip-
ton, the oil king has adopted an inno-
walton in his living methods. Instead
Of sleeping until or o'clock in the
morning, he has begun to get up at 8
clock. His hour for retirement at night
has been moved ahead by several hours
and his day now resembles very much
that of a farmer.
After his whisky bath he dresses, reads
the morning newspapers and then eats
breakfast. From Z o'clock until $50 or 8
mail and business occupy him. Then the
rest of the day is spent golfing or motor

MILLIONAIRE IN RACE

NEW YORK, Aug. ga coachman de-
feated the millionaire owner of a big
Long Island estate in a spirited contest
for a place on the school board at Man
hasset, N. Y, last night. The count o.
the ballots showed today that the coach
man candidate defeated his wealthy rival
by a margin Of less than a dozen votes
The victor, William A. Warren, made
his campaign on the issue that he was
the father Of a family, while Stephen II.
Mason. his opponent, though married,
could boast of no children and as a con-
sequence was not likely, Warren alleges,
to take equal interest in the affairs OF
the school.
Mason made his campaign on his recor d
for the term which he is just completing.
He refused to solicit voters and an
nounced that If the people wanted him
for another term they would have to
turn out and vote for him of their own
accord.

OUTLOOK IS CHEERFUL.
Buyers i'm Eastern Markets Are TAX
ing Hold More Freely.

New York, Feb. 19.-Bradstreet's
says: TRADE reports are rather more
cheerful. Visible evidence of expan-
sion in jobbing trade, in consonance
with the advance of the season. are
found in the report that the large
number of buyers in leading markets.
especially in the west, southwest and
parts of the south. have taken hold
more freely, although even in the
markets of the southwest, whence best
reports come. there are evidences of
conservatism. based largely on the
high prices asked for goods. Inquiry
fails to substantiate the reports of
cancellations noted for some time past
and there are few signs of the widely
heralded reaction in distributive trade.
Many points report no cancellations to
speak of, several cities report coun-
termands no greater than normal, and
only very few report that in a few
lines, notably clothing. has there been
any special effect noted
The least favorable feature in the
country trade at present is the con-
tinued sagging in export trade in farm
products, an effect easily traceable to
the high prices ruling for breadstuffs,
meats, animals and cotton. In con-
nection with this it might be noted
that all high price records in western
market since 1870 were broken by live
hogs this week
