MERCHANTS DEMAND
} 100000 FROM RAILROADS
eus'ness Men In Missouri River Ter
ritory Say They Have Been De-
frauded by Excessive Rates.

WASHINGTON, Aug. ga de-
mand for reparation, estimated at one
million dollars, is being prepared to-
day for presentation to the interstate
commerce commission by merchants
and manufacturers in the Missouri
river territory, who assert they have
been defraudad by excessive railroad
rates.
The new action Is the outgrowth OF
the long fight against exorbitant
Freight rates, which have been re.
|duced by the commission.
Having won the original contention,
the shippers now propose to pursue
The issue 10 the limit.
The fight was carried before the
commission two years ago when
Wholesale dry goods merchants of Kan.

disseminated against. in favor OF the
merchants Of Minneapolis and st.
Paul, on goods shipped from Atlantic
coast points.
The outcome was decision by the
Commission ordering n reduction. The
case was carried to the United States

D. !. R. IS BEHIND .
THE PROCESSION
Earnings Increase So Per Cent in
Ten Years, But Mileage Is Same and
Cars Fewer, Says Bancroft.

Engineer Frederick I, Barefoot, who
properties for the committee OF nifty,
makes some interesting comparisons
between Detroit's growth In popuia,
ton. as shown by the census figures,
and the earnings OF the ID. u. r. dur
ing the same 10-year-period. While
the city's population increased SO per
cent. the net earnings of the ID. u. r.
Increased 67.9 per cent, according to
Barcroft's figures, yet, In spite OF this
showing and Notwithstanding the fact
that 11.58 square miles have been add
ed to the city's area, Bancroft declares
that the company Is operating fewer
cars than 1t was 10 years ago. and that
Its mileage IL exactly the same as In
1900. He figures that the ID. u. r..
income Is $25,3S9 per day. He adds:
1T must be remembered that the
company was making large profits at
six rides for % cents, and, without
going to any expense In return, II
changed twelve years ago to Ave rides
for rs cents, a net earning OF 20 per
cent. Can anyone study these figures
and not conclude that the company
must be manipulated. to show 1t can
not pay dividends? The Detroit Rail-
way cost S1,20O,000. 1t consolidated
with the Detroit Citizens company for
100000. The ID. u. X. claims $5,-
100000 for the same property. IL Is
understood that this property Is earn
ing over 100000 annually, or 5 per
cent on cost. And yet the company
claims 1t cannot pay dividends.

DEALERS WILL
DISTRIBUTE BOOKS
Attempt To Pass Mumford Plan Over
Mayors Veto Fails, But New Tack
Is Taken.

An attempt to put through, over the
mayors veto, Inspector Mumford's
resolution providing for the purchase
OF text books by the board OF educa-
ton and their sale to high school
pupils at cost, failed In the regular
meeting OF the board, Thursday night.
AS substitute for this plan, Mr..
Mumford secured the adoption Of a
resolution whereby the board will pur-
chase these books at 25 per cent on
the list price and distribute them to
the pupils through the local dealers,
the latter TO receive a commission OF
10 per cent on the cost to the board.
In this way the pupils will be saved Is
per cent on the books they are re-
quired to buy. Secretary Lee was In.
structed to purchase the books which
the board is required by law to fur
njsh free TO high school students.
Representatives OF Macauley Bros.
and Sheehan & Co. were present and
agreed to gre the new plan a tryout,
declaring. however, that 1t would not
benefit them In the least or even give
them a decent profit. They contended
that the board should have allowed
them a commission of 10 per cent on
the list price.
Inspector Burton again brought up
the question of the normal training
school examinations and asked that
the teachers committee make an in
Yestigation and suggest changes In the
system OF conducting the examina-
tons IL any are found desirable. A
motion TO this effect was not put to a
vote, however. Inspector Cary, chair
man of the teachers committee, ex-
planned the system in detail and said
he did not see where 1t was possible
for any teacher to show favoritism In
the examination. II pupils from the
secular schools had been more sue
cessful In the examinations than grad
yates of the public high schools. DR..
Cary thought 1t was because the
former had primed themselves by
reading up IN the subjects on which
they were to be examined. getting
their information as to the nature OF
the questions to be asked from
previous examinations which they had
failed to pass.
The meeting was 20 minutes late In
starting and DR.. Kuhn, president OF
the board. announced that hereafter
he would call the board to order
promptly at o'clock. II there Is no
quorum present at that hour no meet
ing will be held.

PHILANTROPIC DOCTOR
GIVES AWAY HIS OWN GRAVE
St. Paul. Man Saves Unfortunates
From Burial In Pctter's Field
Aided Penniless Women.


From Burial In Pctter's Field
Aided Penniless Women.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. 26.-"The
kindest old doctor that ever lived"
this city says of DR.. A. j. Stone.
He received immense fees from the
wealthy, but he gave SO much time
and money to the poor that he was
almost penniless when he died.
His chief delight was to be able to
assist penniless working women. He
gave service and medicines and often
kept patients in hospitals at his own
expense.
To him the pauper's field was a
place of horror. Whenever one OF his
patients died he stood the expense OF
burial. His funds grew low, at last.
but his charity always grew larger.
There was his own family lot In Oak
land cemetery. Plot by plot he doled
it out to the unfortunates. Beside the
graves OF his wife and children are the
graves OF a dozen unfortunate Of the
world.
The doctor died, nearly 20 years
old. Then 1t was discovered that the
Stone cemetery lot was so filled with
graves that there was no room there
for the fine old doctor to rest. Friends
sent the body to his boyhood home In
the east.

KAISER FOR WOMEN,
BUT NOT IN POLITICS
Woman's Suffrage Anywhere He Re-
CARDS as a Sign Of Hopeless
Decadence and Decay.

BERLIN, Aug. 25.-The kaiser has
seized an opportunity of ventilating
his views on the feminist movement,
and the general trend OF his utter
ances has been made public, presum-
ably with his majesty's permission.
He views With profound sympathy
the general movement proceeding In
all the civilized countries of the world
for the amelioration OF the position OF
women, including higher education.
His majesty believes In technical ed
ucation for women and the invasion
of different businesses and professions
by women, holding that in the present
numerical proportion Of the sexes this
is inevitable, and could not be denied
to women without grave injustice to
them.
Consequently, women lawyers. wo-
men doctors, women dentists, and
women in many other branches OF
activity may count on the kaiser's ap-
proval.
In brief, the kaiser is a supporter OF
every phase Of the new woman move
ment, with The single exception of Its
political aspect. He Is resolute OPP
ponent of woman suffrage. He abhors
the idea of women in political life.
The introduction of woman suffrage
in any country appears to him to be
an unmistakable sign Of hopeless de-
cadence and decay. Women In poll
tics would, he thinks be the beginning
of the end of any country. Conse-
quently, his majesty has an aversion
for the eccentricities and extrava-
gances perpetratcd by the extreme suf-
fragists in various countries.

OBJECTS TO POOL CLUBS
POLICE CHIEF THINKS THEY
CORRUPT YOUTH.
Would Put Them Out of Business
or Subject Them to Heavy
License Tax.

Maj. Sylvester, superintendent Of
police. is in favor of a law that will
abolish the club poolrooms.
There are many such clubs in the
city. Not only are they permitted to do
business without license tax, but are
also allowed to keep open at all hours
and Sundays.
This practice Maj Sylvester says,
license tax. 1t Is also an injustice to
parents Of boys and young men who
frequent such places"
Maj. Sylvester also favors keeping boys
under eighteen years Of age out Of pool
rooms. He thinks screens should be re-
moved in order that the police may see
that the Sunday law Is not violated.
Game Leads to Mischief.
Under existing law" Maj. Sylvester
says. in a recent report to the Commits
sioners, ball poolrooms are granted IL
censes and are in the main patronized
by boys and young men. The game itself
may be harmless, but the congregating
of patrons in many cases has been fol-
lowed by bottle drinking and betting on
games.
I'm this connection persons have within
the past two years Incorporated so-called
clubs, where playing may be INDUCED In
without the presence Of those who are
not members but may become such and
secure the privilege upon the payment Of
small fee.
Once admitted. they feel that they
are immune from the inspection of the
police and the authorities, and instances
Of betting on games have come to the
knowledge OF the police. BY this privilege
the proprietors Of the club poolroom avoid
the cost of a license and the proprietors
of the open poolroom suffer an injustice
and the District loses revenue.
There should be a law against club
poolrooms. If such cannot be secured, the
annual license on pool tables employed in
such rooms should be at least $50 each
ed to make inspections Of the same at
any and all times.
THE law governing ordinary poolroons
provides that they shall be closed on
Sundays. and during the hours that bar
there is no that the intsrior out
a poolrooms be exposed to view from the
street on Sunday
Licensed Places Complain.
Proprietors of some licensed places are
continually complaining of the injustice
they suffer because clubs remain open
and the game is permitted to be played
at all hours and on Sundays. Their COM
plants. the police say, are similar to
those of licensed saloonkeepers regarding
drinking clubs.
1t is the contention of some saloon
men that there are some clubs that are
simply barrooms. the club idea being only
an incident to the sale of liquor. II clubs
were not permitted to sell liquor on Sun
days and after hours. the saloonkeepers
argue, the number Of such places would
be materially reduced.
The police department Is on record az
opposed to the promiscuous granting of
licenses to clubs, especially In such cases
as it is apparent to them that the sale Of
liquor Is the essential feature. There are
many bona fide clubs. and such places
are not complained Of

POSSE HUNTING PUGILIST.
Wife Of Alleged Kidnaper Stands
Guard With Shotgun.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ALLENTOWN. February 5.-Armed
with guns, a posse OF $50 citizens Of
Dansville is hunting for Matthew Roberts.
They want him for kidnapping Eva cof-
fin, a schoolgirl, of that place.
Roberts is former pugilist, and has
a wife and four children. The girl was
with a coasting party and when she
coasted far beyond the rest, it is alleged,
he carried her off. An alarm was rails
ed, and a crowd Of men gave chase. Four
OF these, with the chdld's father, found
Roberts and the little girl. The father
grabbed the man by the throat, but Rob-
erts escaped.
Roberts home is near the Hover quar-
ry, where, 1t Is believed, he is hiding.
When the posse asked his wife to open
the door, Mrs. Roberts threatened to
shoot the first man who crossed her
threshold. She is still on guard with
shotgun, while pickets are waiting out
side and others are securing the neigh
borhood.
