wRECKING CREW DUMPED"
Central Branch Men Sold Sweeping:
After Wreck and Were Fired.

Atchison, Kan. Jan. 22.-Every
member of the wrecking crew at the
Central Branch shops was discharged
yesterday. They all claim they were
given no hearing and that they will
not ask for any. Today they are look
ing for other jobs. Several freight
cars were recently derailed between
Yuma and Concordia. Three Of the
cars were loaded with wheat. After
transferring the wheat from these de-
rallied cars to three other cars the
wrecking crew collected the sweepings,
placed them in sacks, and sold them to
the elevator at Wetmore. The sweep
ings amounted to sixteen bushels, and
brought 95 cents a bushel. The re-
ceipts from the sweepings were divid-
ed among the eight members of the
crew. While it is true that the crew
had no real right to gather the sweep
ings and sell them. they probably be-
lieved they were doing nothing that
was wrong. They claim that the COM
pany seldom ever collects the sweep
ings from grain cars and that they felt
they were just as much entitled to the
Sweepings as are the people who usu-
ally loiter around railroad yards look
ing for sweepings, which make good
chicken feed. They also claim that
they gathered the sweepings in broad
daylight, and sold them in broad day.

COAL FOR PUBLIC UTILITIES.
Western Railroads Compelled to Vio-
late Hepburn Law.

Chicago, ILL.,. Jan. 22.-Aside from
the havoc wrought with train sched-
uIes and the immense added expense
of cperation caused by the recent bad
weather, many of the railroads. ac-
cording 20 a member of the legal de-
partment of one of the largest west
ern roads. in the last few days have
been brought face to face with a con-
dition unique in their experience. and
bringing up a question not met with
before since the passage of the Hep
burn amendment to the interstate
commerce law. This has been the ne
cessity under which many of the roads
have found themselves of willfully vio-
lating the provisions of the commodi-
ties clause
"Ey the terms of this clause" said
the railroad lawyer, ait is made unlaw-
full for any common carrier engaging
in in erstate commerce to sell any
commodity except lumber in which 1t
has interest. But during the last few
days many of the towns reached by
the railroads have almost entirely de-
p1cte1 their stocks of coal. They had
to have coal to run their electric plants
and otker public works. To meet this
condition the railroads have sold their
coal to the towns. and one of them of
which 1 know wrote to the commits
sion stating that the law was being
violated, but that it was a public ne
cessity and that it would keep on"

RAILROAD PRESIDENT Ar IS.
This Is Marvellous Record of President
Walker of Rock Island.

Chicago, I'LL, Jan. 22.-To be elected
president of one of the largest railroad
companies in the country at IS years
of age is a distinction of such rare oc-
currence that both railroad and finan-
cial circles were surprised when Rob-
ert Walker Of Scarsdale. N Y. was
made president of the Rock Island
company of the Rock Island lines. To
local officials of the Rock Island sys-
tenn, however. who have been officially
associated with Mr.. Walker for the
last few years his election did not
come as a total surprise, for thew de-
clare there is no other official more
admired or better fitted for the posi-
ton.
Mr.. Walker first came to the Rock
Island in 1903. when he was made as
sistant to Robert Mather, who was
then general counsel. When Mr.. Jack
son succeeded Mr.. Mather he was pro-
NOTED to assistant general counsel and
steps from that office into the present
one. He is man of large physique
and strong features, and though his
voice is soft and musical he is noted as
a fighter. He will, as heretofore, main
tain his office in New York and leave
the direct management of the road in
the hands of local officials.

ANOTHER RAILROAD LOSES.
Illinois Central Falls in Line on Real

Chicago, Jan. 22.-The Tribune

1.-THE Illinois Central railroad is a
fellow victim with the Chicago &
Western in losses by real estate manip-

"Where the Western Indiana is out

filed by its new president, the Illinois
Central believes it has been done out
of 100000. The same three men
named in the bill of the Western In

president of that road; John C. Fetzer.
and Charles R. Kappes-are men
toned in connection with the deals of
the Central In fact, the two railroads
lost together, it is said. through par

1.-THE developments in the Western
Indiana case-after forty witnesses
had been examined in States Attorney
Wayman's office-indicated that the
whole Of that matter will be laid be-
fore the grand jury and that the names
of other real estate men may become
involved in the scandal. One witness
said some of the deals under suspicion
were handled by real estate men other
than Fetzer and Kappes."

FACTS TO Be REMEMBERED
Beans Need to Be Carefully Prepared
and cooked-Not for the sed-
entary Worker.

Apropos Of the recent ban on beans
Il is we'll to remember these facts:
Beans should be soaked over night
They should not be cooked u the
water in which they are soaked
They should be cooked for at least
eight hours in a moderate oven.
In bean soups the soup should be
strained to remove husks. which con.
tain no nutrifnent and are indigestible.
A teaspoonful Of soda added to the
water In which the beans or boiled
win destroy the acid in the skin Of the
beans
The excellency Of the baked beans
depends upon the pot in which the
beans are baked. It should be earth.
en-, with a narrow mouth and bulging
sides
Beans afford nutritious, cheap
food. bat on account of being SO hard
to digest are better food for those
who lead ain active outdoor life.
Beans should not be on the regular
bill Of fare of the sedentary worker
