FAIR RATE IS
SURPLUS MAKER
MANAGER PARK or ILLINOIS
CENTRAL GIVES THIS
DEFINITION.
MANIPULATION PROBED
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Off.
cials win BE Called In the
Rate Hearing, Prob
ably Today.

Chicago, Sept 20.-Alleged manip-
Iulation of the railroads income to
cover up earnings and to compound
tits income was inquired into today
by the attorneys for the western
lshippers, of the officers of the Illinois
Central Railroad before the inter
| state commerce commission In the
lrate hearing. Vice President and
General Manager Park said what he
considered fair rate was one which
would, after paying reasonable divi-
dend, give the company a yearly sur
plus OF about $6.00l,00O to be used for
bettering the road.
Attorney Atwood, for the shippers,
asked when the roau had built de-
pots, eac., would the witness consid
Ter that proper subject for addition
al capitalization. The witness said
yes. Then, when capitalized, would
the witness consider it reasonable
dividend on that capitalization? The
witness answered yes
Then Atwood said "The simple
fact Is, you think you ought to be en-.
TITLED to charge the shippers enough
to bring in sufficient earnings so that
you can devote part to new capltali-
cation and then get big return on
lin the shape OF dividends, do youg
| n that your Idea Of what constitutes
RI fair tariff for the shipperg'
The witness did not Answer.
Later Manager Park reiterated the
statement that the surplus was an
economic necessity, and that If the
company could put it into property
that later might be capitalized, it
should do so. His explanation was
that in lending money he would not
loan the total of value of new inn.
Ipfovements, but would require the
company to raise part to keep the In
yestment safe. The surplus and its
expenditure was designated as nee
essary.
Chief Engineer Baldwin testifl ed
that by giving higher wages they
were getting less for money in return
and the men become independent
and less EFFICIENT.
Manager Parks said big item Of
erpense was the safety devices. He
said brakemen became careless and
Iallowed cars to crash together iia
admitted they had edected the saw
ling OF life and limb.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
probably will be before the commits

Surprise was evident when Parn
declared that the Illinois Central, al.
though rated as one OF the best in
the country. would have to expend
between $2S,0JO000 and 100000 900 at
once in te mechanical department in
order to bring it mp to the standard,
Also 1t is asserted that the record
of the railroad and other were max

DECLARES HE WILL NOT SUP

OR or NEBRASKA.
IS FOR PROHIBITION
Declares He Must Bolt Ticket to Be
Consistent in Figh. He Expects

Liquor interests.

Lincoln, Sept. 20.--In a statement
in which he declares that the crusade
which he feels impelled to wage
against the liquor interests in the
state and nation oyershadows per-
sonal and political friendship of 20
years, William J. Bryan this evening
announced that he had bolted the
head of the Democratic state ticket
Of Nebraska and would not support
James c. Dahlman for governor.
He says he regrets that he is com
PEELED to take the stand he does-his
first departure from political regu-
larity-but says he feels it his duty
to do so because the position taken
by the Democratic nominee on the
liquor question.
The statement apologies to none,
and indicates that Bryan will not
support the candidates of any party.
but announces that he Is an advocate
OF prohibition and an early closing
law, both of which he insists are
menaced by Dahlman's platform.
Bryan says; Possibly it is just
as we'll to have the issue clearly pre-
sented, so that it may be settled this
year instead of two years hence,
Troublesome as the question is now,
1t would be even more embarrassing
IT presented In 1912, when we have
presidential election on hand"
The voters now have an opportun-
ity to decide whether the state snail
go backward or forward on the liq-
uor question. To present arguments
in favor of going backward would not
only contradict what | have already
said on the subject. but would EN-
barrass me in the fight | expect to
make hereafter to save our party
from the odium of being the repre-
sentative of the liquor interests"
Bryan will support the rest Of the
ticket.

FIVE MURDERED
One of the Most Horrible
Crimes Committed
Came to Light in Houston
Last Week.

The facts in the case as it now stands
are as follows: On Wednesday afternoon
last Sheriff Anderson was called to 1872
Ashland avenue, Houston Heights, to
investigate house which had been clos.
ed up for few days and about which
neighbors were suspicious Mr. Ander-
son arrived at the place about o'clock
in the afternoon and looked over the
premises. Under the house at the front
he found three guns. An examinations
of the doors and windows showed that
they were securely locked.
The sheriff, believing that the suspi-
cons of the neighbors were well founded
forcsd window When he raised the
sash the odor from the inside of the
house drove him back. 81 believe thefs Is
some one deadin here" he exclaimed
and taking agulp of fresh air he jump
through the window. He walked through
the room to door leading further back,
which he opened. He entered a little
bed room containing two iron beds In
the narrow space between the two beds
he saw pile of human bodies,
When the green blind was raised at
the window it was seen that there were
five bodies i'll all, those of two men, o
woman and two children, horribly in
termingled and resting amid blood
covered disorder of bed clothing, torn
down mosquito bars and wearing APP
parel. When the bodies were separated
under the eye of Justice of the Peace
Mcdonald, they were identified as those
of Walter Eichman, a painter; Gus
Schultz, a lineman employed by the
Houston Electric company; Alice
Schultz, the wife Of Gus Schultz, and
their two children, Bessie, girl of 9
years, and baby boy of months.
Inquiry of neighbors elected the in
formation that the house had been
locked up since the previous Friday
night and that no one had been seen in
or about it since that time. On the
Friday night mentioned dance had
been enjoyed in the little house partici-
pated in by some of the neighbors and
friends of the family. "Sandy" Shelf
field, friend of the family, who had
been most friendly with Mrs. Schultz,
and who. it Is understood, roomed with
the Schultz family for a time, took part
in the jollity.

today, Why Davidson Paid His
Taxes"
He has not paid all of his taxes.
The District Court of Liberty county,
Texas, ordered some land sold for delin-
quent taxes, and l bought it at the
sheriff's sale and got the sheriff's deed
for the land. And r. " Davidson
brought suit in the same court that or
dered it sold to have the said declared
null and void, which the court did,
without allowing me anything back for
what had paid for the land
So if is the law that man has to
pay his taxes before he can run for gov
ernor OF Texas, r v, Davidson will
have to pay his or take his name off the

A PROCLAMATION
BY the President of the
United States.

Whereas by the Act of Congress APP
proved July 2, 1909, the Thirteenth
Decennial Census of the United States
is to be taken, beginning on the lif-
tenth day of April, nineteen hundred
and ten; and
Whereas a correct enumeration OF
the population every ten years is re-
CURED by the Constitution of the
United States for the purpose of de-
termining the representation of the
several States in the House of Repre-
senatives and
Whereas it is of the utmost import
ance to the interests of all the people
of the United States that this census
should be complete and accurate re-
port of the population and resources
of the country;
Now, therefore, I WILLIAM HOWARD
TAFT, President of the United States
of America, do hereby declare and
make known that, under the act afore-
said, it is the duty of every person to
answer all questions on the census
schedules applying to him and the
family to which he belongs, and to the
farm occupied by him or his family,
and that any adult refusing to do so
is subject to penalty.
The sole purpose Of the census is to
secure general statistical information
regarding the population and re-
sources OF the country, and replies are
required from individuals only in
order to permit the compilation of
such general statistics. The census
has nothing to do with taxation, with
army or jury services, with the com
pulsion of school attendance, with the
regulation of immigration, or with
the enforcement OF any national, state,
or Local law or ordinance, nor can
any person be harmed in any way by
furnishing the information required.
There need be no fear that any disclo-
sure will be made regarding any in
dividual person or his affairs. For
the due projection of rights and inter-
Tests of the person furnishing informa-
ton every employee OF the Census
Bureau is prohibited, under heavy
penalty, from disclosing any informa,
ton which may thus came to his
knowledge.
/ therefore earnestly urge upon al,
persons to answer promptly, complete
ly, and accurately all inquiries ad
dressed to them by the enumerators
or other employees of the Census
Bureau, and thereby to contribute
their share towards making this great
and necessary public undertaking a
success.
In witness thereof, have hereuntc
set my hand and caused the seal OF
the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this
fifteenth day of March, A. D.
