RATES CONSPIRACY

VIZ HEN twenty-five railroad corpor-
w ations agree to raise rates the
W gentlemen connected with such
| corporations may strive to make the
public believe the action is the result
of Independent mentation on the part
of the directors of the various roads;
but twenty-five corporational souls with
but a single thought, twenty-five cor
pOrational hearts that beat as one,
would stagger the credulity of nur-
sery infant.
The coincidence is too strong even
for fairy tale Therefore when Uncle
sam alleges unlawful combination and
conspiracy the public realizes the bur-
den of disproof is heavily upon the ac-
cused, legally restrained in the very act
of what looks like frank and bold de-
aance of the legislation devised for the
emancipation of the public from the
thraldom of trade-throttlng railroad
rates conspiracies.
The petition contains an exposure Of
the rate restraining methods which it
alleges are still being practised, say
standing and agreements between the
different railroads the defendants
would have continued in the said in
terstate trade and commerce in compe-
tition with each other as to rates and
charges to be collected for the inter
state transportation of freight and pas
sengers, and as to facilities and advan
tages to be offered to the travelling pub
pic and to shippers of commodities in
interstate commerce, and would now be
competing in said interstate transporta-
tion. trade and commerce"
The petition throws some interesting
light on the method of rate fixing
adopted:
Each of the (twenty-f1ve) defendants
is a member of the western trunk line
committee. There is a freight commit
tee composed of the freight traffic man
ayers or general freight agents of each
of the defendants. This committee
meets once every month. Whenever
any defendant contemplates a change
in any rates, rules or regulations the
officer or official representing such de-
fendant on such committee suggests
such change to the chairman Of the
committee who then dockets the same
for consideration and discussion at the
next meeting Of the freight committee.
At that meeting the matter is brought
up. If all agree, the proposed change
is made by all roads. Unless there is a
unanimous agreement, the suggestion is
rejected and no road adopts the pro
posed change of rates"

HE AWAkEs FAMOUS.

San Francisco, Nov. 1.-AntOne La
grave woke up this morning to find
himself famous. Yesterday his fame
simply extended from North Beach to
Buthiertown, but now his name will
be whispered along New York's Broad
way and the Pink sporting paths Of
London and Australia will print his
picture. This because of Dreamland
last night he held the world-famous
Battling Nelson to q draw after fiji
teen rounds Of tumultuous fighting.
The affair was q whirl Of fists from
beginning to end and the pave told on
both fighters. In some of the rounds
the thing resembled an an alterca-
ton between a couple Of drunken
men. There were differences of opin-
ion as to the merits OF the decision
rendered by Referee Ed Smith but. all
things considered, it was a fair ver-
dict The fight was devoid OF knock
out knockdowns and for that matter 1t
did not boast of a staggering puch.
Nelson was at all times the aggressor
lacked In headlong fighting he made
up in clean punching. In the last
round Of all, his soggy gloves were
sadden out OF Nelson's face.
Nelson will have to do little more
ring work before judgment is passed
on his chances Of coming back. He
showed just one thing last night, to
wit: That he is the durable Dane of
old as far as assimilating punishment
is concerned. He tired more rapidly
than he did in former fights and it
looked at times as II he was unneces-
sarily wild in his delivery. but La
grave is clever fellow and had the
bulge on the Battler in weight.
