Bankruptcy or an immediate increase
in freight rates was the cry sent up
from the general. offices of the big
western railroads yesterday, follow
ing the boost In wages voluntarily
given the employees Of the Pennsyl-
va1ia and the Reading lines, which
action has already been felt in the
increased uneasiness in the western
railway wage situation.

same time increase our wage sched'

Kenna, of the Chicago, Milwaukee

way and that is to raise our freight

Pittsburg, April 2.-All of the pres

as the big Five" have told their
stories to the graft investigating
grand jury.
The indictment of six banks as
corporations and other sensations
are expected Monday as result. The
graft prosecution now is busily en-
gagged preparing cases for trials next
week.
Charles Stewart today told the
whole truth to the grand jury, Char

William Brand is known to have
made full confession and the bot
tom finally has fallen out of the al

with statement of what the rec

Further protest is made by Mr..
Ballinger in a letter under date of
March 81 in response to Brandeis re-
quest for affidavits in possession of
Chief of Field Division Christensen:
81 repeat that in these applications
ma de now when the evidence of the.
prosecution has closed and ours has
been entered upon, see nothing else
than an oblique attempt to co1tror
the manner in which the evidence I
shall present shall be introduced.
OF course, I stand deadly, insofar as
possible, to comply with all orders
of the committee made after matters
to which I have referred have been
made the subject of consideration"
The most startling feature of to-
days session Of the inquiry was tic
declaration made by H X. Love,
formerly special agent of land Of
flee while under cross-examination
by Attodney Brandeis, that John w.
Dudley, former register of the land
office at Juneau. Alaska, had toll
him in Juneau last February that an
agent of Golfers weekly had init
mated to him that 1T would be
worth from $4,000 to $4,000 to him"

are facing unless conditions are al
lowed to adjust themselves. The
roads have but one alternative. They
must increase their revenue through
higher rates. The increase by the
Pennsylvania lines in the wages Of
its men will undoubtedly influence
wage negotiations in the west.
Every dollar increase in wages
means Just SO much to be raised by
the roads, and there is but one way
to do this-raise the freight rates" I"
Probably only rs per cent of the
100000 employees on the western
lines have presented their wage de-
mand," said Slaton Thompson. "The
remaining Is per cent, however, will
unQuestionably be settled by arbi-
tration and without strikes. The &C.
tion of the Pennsylvania in voluntar-
lily increasing wages will probably
have some effect on western lines.
Freight rates, however, will have to
be raised to meet the increased out
lay imposed ON the roads.
ITO offset the average increase of
from to 8 per cent in the wages Of
employees so far granted by western
roads, freight rates would have to
be raised from 7.55 mills to- 7.S0
mills per ton mile, an almost imper-
ceptible amount to the shipper.

White
Of STARK COUNTY
STOLE $40,0OO.0O

Dickinson Press: The county COM
missioners have sifted the bad coun-
ty warrants carefully and find that
the total which will be placed in the
-'unauthorized" column is approx
mately $4,000. This includes the
warrants forged, few that were
raised and all that were illegally IS
sued by former Auditor S. White.
Between $4,000 and $4,000 of these
warrants are held by local banks and
some $4,000 are held by parties VINO
up to this time have not come for
ward with their bad paper. The
commissioners have instructed the
treasurer not to redeem any OF the
warrants which belong in the unau-
thorized column and an itemlzed
schedule of the list is being prepar-
ed. This means that unless the
courts declare the same a liability
against the county, they will not be
paid.
During the first of the week J. S.
White was at the court house giving
the commissioners what assistance
he could in classifying the $4,000 OF
warrants placed in the unauthorized
column by the experts. A few, al
though issued in an irregular way,
we're found to be genuine and the
pile was reduced to about $4,000.
AS has been previously stated in
the Press, the county warrant for
geries commenced in 1908, right away
after Mr.. White stepped over from
the office Of treasurer to that of au-
iitor, and the general suppositlon is
that he was short as treasurer and
covered the defalcation with his
forgeries before the matter was de-
tected. His forgeries amounted to
4 good many thousand dollars dur
ing the first years he was auditor !
and then there was a period when he
did not do so much of this worn.
Last year was a record breaker, ana
t is the most of the 1909 paper that
IS outstanding now.

it will wodk in conjunction with the
state historical society and the ed
ucational association of adjoining
states with this in view.
Besides securing al inspiratiOnal
lecturer such as Colonel Roosevelt,
it is planned to secure an education

The question of securing larger
enrolment was considered careful
ly, and it was decided that the mat
ter of enrolment in the N. D. E. A.,
will be presente to the several Sec
tional educational meetings to be
held duding this month. Members
of this executive committee will en-
phasize the mutual advantages of the
membership and trust that large

structed to present this matter of
membership to the faculties of the
several state and private educational
institutions.
