CALL RATES CONFlSCATORY
Pullman Company Lawyer Says Com
missions Order Means Bankruptcy
for Big Concern.

Chicago.-Contendin that the inter
state commerce commissions order
for reduction of sleeping car rates
is coniscatory attorneys representing
the Pullman company and the rail
roads appeared in the United States
circuit court to argue for a rehearing
of their petition for an injunction to
prevent the order being put into eff
feet
An injunction was previously denied
them, but they seek to reopen the
case on the ground that they have
new facts to present.
Attorney Fernald of the Pullman
company told the court that the new
schedule Of rates would ultimately
mean bankruptcy for the sleeping car
companies.
1t would mean a loss of $4,000 an
nually on fares between St Paul and
the points of Fargo, N. D., and Seattle,
Wash, alone, he said.
The reduction from St Paul to
Fargo is 40 per cent on upper berths
and 25 per cent. on lower, and from
St. Paul to Seattle the fare is lowered
% per cent. on upper and 2.3 per
cent. on lower.

bat.
Chief Officer J. w. Dickson, Second
Officer Arthur Marriott and Third Ofi-
Ger Walter Chevner volunteered to go
below with the hose passed along by
the crew.
With mouths and nostrils covered
by cloth. the volunteers were alter
nateIy lowered. Owing to the intense
heat and the suffocating smoke, each
man could remain below only few
moments.
All that day and the following
night the fight to save the ship con-
tinued. In despair the captain or
dered the lifeboats provisioned and
trailed astern.
Early on the morning of June "a the
fire in the shelter deck was seemingly
stamped out and the crew sank ex-
hausted on the decks for a brief rest.
Almost at once fire broke out in
lower hold No. 2. Two hundred tons
of merchandise were thrown over
board before the blaze could be
reached, Then, the steam pipes were
run below and after five days of fight
ing the flames were finally subdued.
The total damage is estimated at
100000, mostly covered by insur-
ance.

TRAIN ROBBERS ARE FOILED
THREE YOUTHS HOLD UP THE
KATY" FLYER.
Crew Slips From Under Muzzles OF
Revolvers, Regains Cab and
Dash Away.

st. Louis. - Cleverness on the
part Of the engineer prevented
three youthful and apparently mex
perienced bandits from robbing the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas Southwest
ern flyer, No. 8, near Larimore, about
fifteen miles from st. Louis.
Three young men were arrested as
suspects and are in jail pending inves-
tigation. The police do not believe
they are the men wanted and are
searching for three others.
The bandits compelled the engineer
and fireman, at the points of reyolvers,
to descend from the cab and go with
them to the baggage car to assist
them in uncoupling it.
While ttnkering about the coupling
the engineer and fireman in the dark
ness managed to glide away from the
bandits. The two started on a run
for the cab. The bandits soon became
aware that the crew was dashing for
the cab and opened fire.
the engineer and fireman sprang
into the cab, the engineer threw the
throttle wide open and dashed away
with the train.
Several shots were fired during the
attempted hold-up, and the passen-
gers, who filled five coaches, were
thrown into panic. Conductor Walk
er. who also displayed great GOODNESS
in the crisis, devoted his time to calm
ing the passengers.
The train was in the hands of the
bandits 40 minutes. For half an hour
they tried of their own accord to IN
couple the baggage car. 1t was not
until they found themselves unable
to do the work that they got the en-
gineer and fireman.
According to the railroad officials
here there were thousands of dollars
in the baggage car in addition to the
mail.

RAIL LINES ARE PROSPEROUS
Roads Are Placing Enormous Orders
for Observation-Disclosures Show
Big Increase.

New York.-Continued evidences or
the great prosperity that is surg1ng
all over the country are given in the
enormous orders placed within the
last few days by the large railroads
of the country for additional equip
ment
No such tremendous sums of money
have ever been spent by the railroads,
it Is said, except in the initial con-
struction Of road, or in large ex-
tension. The Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road company alone has appropriated
100000 for new equipment.
Not merely in money spent for i'm
provements of facilities, but In the
declaring of dividends by the rail-
roads lies the proof that the good
times which returned year or more
ago have in no way diminished.
Since January l eighty-six railroads
and industrial corporations in this
country have increased their disburse-
ments or declared initial or resumed
dividends to the extent of s57, 1000
a year. Twenty-three Of these cor
porations are railroads, their increase
alone representing $15,0O0,000. Up to
June l Of this year the aggregate
dividend payments from the eighty
six corporations in question have
amounted to about S298, 900 900, which
is an increase of about S46,230.000
over the first five months of last year.
