POVERTY THEIR PLEA
SOUTHWESTERN RAILROADS BAD " IN NEED OF THE lNcREAs-
 ED FREIGHT RATES.
THE TESTIMONY IS CONFLICTING
Auditor Schuyler of the Missouri Pa. cffc Said His Road Had Not De clared Dividend in the Past Three Years.

Chicago, Sept. 26.-Railroads of the Southwest made genuine pleas of pow erty and showed themselves, more than central roads, in need of the n. crease of freight rates which is being asked of the interstate commerce com mission by all of the roads in the Western classification territory.
 W. c. Bierd, general manager of .ha Iowa Central and the Minneapolis and St. Louis roads asked the increase on 5S commodities to provide fund that would revive the credit of his road and allow its antiquated system to ba thoroughly rebuilt
 DiIapidated Equipment.
 He told in detail of the wooden bridges, broken cars and disabled equipment being used on the lines of his company because the cost of op. eration had already overtaken reve. nues and the roads were no longer able to meet interest and dividends.
 Sidney B. Schuyler, auditor of tho Missouri Pacific. told how his road had paid a stock dividend in 1907 because 1t lacked cash and hau rot paid dividend since. Three years ago he said the road was forced to issue bonds for nearly $20,000,0O0 to pay overdue interest and had paid none of its added liabilities. He presented mass of data to show that unless greater revenue was afforded the road 1t would be unable to maintain its ere dit.
 But an Entering Wedge.
 A new light was thrown on the situ- ation when MT. Bierd said to the com mission
 The increases which are being asked would amount to $56,000 a year to our lines. This means little in it. self. It is the added credit that a de- cision in our favor would lend to the roads
 | This Is In confirmation of the charge made by attorney Clifford rhorne, representing Western stock shippers that this case is but test and deci- sion favorable to the railroads Is ex- pected to be used as a wedge to force the granting of future increases ex- pected to amount to s4O0,000,O00 an- nually.
 Mir. Bierd disagreed emphatically with officiuals of the Milwaukee & St. Paul. who preceded him on the wit ness stand and said that increased bus lness did not mean increased expense and lower ratio of profit. He was of the opinion that any road could in- crease its business to It's full capacity with little added expense and rapidly growing percentage of profit. Mir Bierd directly contradicted the testimony of Vice President Gardner of the Northwestern and other railroad officials as to the efficiency of labor during the past ten years and it's ef- I feet on the cost of operation. High Priced Labor Not Efficient.
 "The generally accepted theory that labor becomes more efficient as its wage advances is not true in the case of the railroads and this explains part of our loss of profits, he said AS a workman becomes organized and re- ceives higher pay. his dignity prevents his doing many duties that he former ly did and for which we now must hire new men"

When Sherman Arrived.

The reception given Col Roosevelt was in marked contrast to that given to Vice-President Sherman on his ar. toga on 8 trolley car. There was not a single person to meet him. He came to the hotel unnoticed and had walked half way across the great in ner court of the hotel before he at tracted any attention. Then some one exclaimed: Why there goes Vice. President Sherman
 Instantly half d dozen photograph CTS bohed from the verandas, caught up with the vice-president and asked him to pose. He consented amiably. While the photographers were snap. shouting him the crowded verandas watched the proceeding amusedly. But there was not single cheer. MT. Sherman's countenance as he walkel to his quarters when photographers got through with him was shadowed with gloom. Evidently he felt keenly the disregard shown him.
 State Committee In Session.
 The state committee was in session from early evening until late at night. It was an acrimonious session.
 Probably no such bitterness as shown by the rival factions has been witnessed at a similar meeting within the memory of the oldest partisan.
 If Roosevelt wins, as it now seems certain. he will, the old guard leaders admitted that they could not count within 3S votes of the number to give them a majority 1t Is the declared plan of the old guard to force Col. Roosevelt to take upon himself the full responsibility of naming the ticket and managing the campaign. Whether they will stick to this pro gram remains to be seen.
 By vote of 22 to 15 the Republ. can state committee after a most turbulent session approved a motion offered by William Barnes. Jr., man. ager in chief of the old guard stating that the selection of Vice-President Sherman for temporary chairman was taken without deceit or misrepre sentation.

Langford has to take the short end
