CHARGES OF FRAUD.

Charging that it has been dcfraud-
csl of about 50, ,O00 900 on repair work
in Il period OF four years, the Illinois
Central Railroad Company yesterday
filed suit in the Circuit Court in Chi
cago for an accounting against four Of
its former officers.
The railroad company's bill, which
alleges conspiracy to defraud. names
the following men:
Orlando S. Keith, former Supcrin-
tcndent OF transportation; Joseph +.
Bukcr, farmer assistant superintcn-
dent OF the car department; William
Rcnshaw, former assistant Supcrintcn
dent OF the machinery department, and
John NJ. Taylor, former general store
keeper.
In connection with the charges the
Illinois Central Road declares in its
bill that these concerns protited i'll al
legged ovcrchargcs on car repair work
in the following amounts:
The International Car Company, the
Blue Island Equipment Company.
$4,000 The American Car and
Equipment Company. 500, 600; Aost-
erman Manufacturing Company,
$3.50, 900; the Memphis Car Company
$500. 900.
In addition to the suit filed against
the four former officers the railroad
also filed suit for an account against
the West Pullman Car Company and
against the American Car and Equip
ment Company.
The filing of the suit followed an
investigation by the railroad company
and numerous rumorS OF an alleged
graft ring" in the Illinois Central
Railroad. High officers OF the road
have Stoutly denied that there existed
any trouble OF this character.
The bill against the four former
department heads alleges that the men
entered into conspiracy in June.
1906. and that, from that date until
April, 1910. the railroad company was
dcfraudcd out of nearly $2,000,0O
The defraudantS are alleged to have
represented to the corporation that
the company'S repair work could be
done more cheaply by independent
concerns than at the railroads own
shops. When contracts were given
to certain independent concerns, the
bill charges, the railroad company
began long series of large over
charges. from which certain supcrin-
dents are declared to have obtained
thousands of dollars.

sure you will find charming for many
occasions throughout the summer and
