CHAPTER XIV.
III HE fat freight rate was q tire
mendous sensation. It Waa

hailed as the great utopian
realization, the one supreme
act which was to level all dis
tinctions, which was to place all
business upon an equal footing, which
was to cure all the economic ills Of the
country. And who was back of this
huge philanthropic move? Rollins
Sumner Rollins, the Napoleon Of the
railroad world. And who was back
of Sumner Rollins? Henry Breed. Yet
another step, who was back Of Breed?
Phillip Kelvin. There was the man!
Until Kelvin had come Breed had done
none Of these radical things. Since
Kelvin had appeared upon the scene
Breed had broken up the Stock Ex-
change, he had reduced the price Of
bread to cost, he had disintegrated the
Unified Steel corporation, he had re-
moved the unjust discrimination Of the
railroads; ergo, Kelvin was really the
big force Of all this reformation.
Kelvin! Great was Kelvin! Column
upon column was printed about him,
his past life, his phenomenal rise, his
tremendous executive ability. He be-
came a national figure overnight, as
1t were. Men talked about him at
clubs, In cafes. in street cars, in their
homes, wherever they were congregat-
ed. About the fat rate, however, GER
tain men merely winked. It was a
splendid piece Of buncombe for the
public. It was a splendid weapon
which would give Breed power Of life
and death over any business upon
which he chose to exert 1t, but that
It meant Just what it stated on the
surface was past belief.
Suave gentlemen representing vari-
Gus large interests trailed Rollins
from his New York Offices down to
Forest Lakes to meet in succession
quite rude shocks. There was posi-
lively no satisfaction to be had from
Rollins.
The first OF these was John G. Hep
perdon, the head Of the petroleum
trust, one of the most perfect combines
IN existence and one which had been
built almost entirely upon rebates and
freight concessions OF various Sorts
Mr. HepperClon was a trtfle impatient
over the necessity of having to make
such a trip and was insistent upon
coming to a crisp working basis at
once. For that reason he did not go to
Mr.. Rollins at all. He very calmly
walked over that gentieman's Agura-
tive head to Mr.. Breed.
''Hello, Breed" said he, walking IN
upon that gentleman as he sat IN his
library porting over a set of photo
graphs. one of which happened TO be
Mr.. Hepperdon's. Lets get down to
blunt bedrock on this freight PROPOSE
ton. How much Of a rebate are we to
get. and what percentage Of it goes to
you individuality
Glad 10 see you. Hepperdon," said
Breed. '1t has been long time since
] had the pleasure of a brush with
you. Where have you been keeping
yourself so longw
Just got back from Europe" said
Hepperdon. But how about this
freight business? have to get back
on the next train"
"Out of my hands entirely" said
Breed. you'll have to see Mr.. Rol

Why Send to Other Communities For
Goods Produced Among ourseIves7
The steamer Chalmette, from Balt-
more. carrying solid cargo Of canned
goods, is discharging its freight at Gal
weston. The state of Texas Is one of
the largest markets Baltimore has for
this kind of goods, as it is the piece de
resistance on the ranches. The in
crease in shipment is due to the reduc-
ton in rates on canned goods from 20
to 81 cents.-Quanah Observer
Commenting on the above, Farm and
Ranch of Dallas, Tex, says:
There are no better canned goods
than those of Texas, Arkansas and
Louisiana. Yet it is found hard to sell
products of our canneries, while train
loads and boatloads of goods are be-
ing shipped into the states which
should support their own industries.
In one case 1t was found that goods
from local cannery had been shipped
away from home, then bought by To-
cal merchant and shipped back to the
place where canned.
The people who preach the doctrine
Of patronizing home industries should
follow the advice they freely give to
others When they fail to do SO then
they preach for revenue only and the
revenue is for themselves only.

PROOF OF LORIMER
FUND IS UNCOVERED

Chicago.-Documentary evidence to
corroborate the testimony of Clarence
S. Funk, general manager of the In
ternational Harvester Company, and
others who testified concerning the
existence of a "slush" fund used in
the election of United States Senator
Lorimer, probably will be presented
to the Helm Investigation committee
at Springfield when that organization
resumes it's work.
Secret agents of the Helm commit
tee are said to have been in Chicago
for several days probing into the
charges made by Mr.. Funk A mem
Der Of the committee, who refused to-
permit the use of his name, said that
the books of the bank would be sub
mitted in evidence to prove the truth
Of Mr.. Funk's assertion that Edward
Hines told him such fund existed.
In all 1875 subpoenas have been
served in Chicago within the last few
days. Among this army of witnesses
are several millionaires who are be-
lieved to know something about the
creation Of the "slush" fund and it's
disbursement.

"Wappy" Again Indicted.

Seattle.-EX- Chief of Police Charles
w. Wappenstein, who is under $65,000
bonds on three indictments charging
him with accepting brides from gam
bling and disorderly houses, was ar
rested on a fourth Indictment charg-
ing extortion.
The indictment alleges that Wap-
penstein demanded and received $500
from the Pacific Coast Company for
affording proper police protection to
the company's property on the water
front. Wappenstein's bond was fixed
at $500.

Seattle.-Significant warning was
given to the city of Seattle by Blod-
gett & Co., of New York and Boston,
when notice was given to William J.
Boutwell,, city controller, that the
firm would not submit bids on May
4 for $2,0O6,OO0 of municipal securi-
ties.
On that date five issues will be off
fered to investors, including 81 900 900
OF park extension bonds, $4Oo 900 of
garbage bonds, $4,000 of Georgetown
Indebtedness bonds, 100000 of light
extension bonds and s460,OOO of re-
funding bonds, issued 20 years ago.
Authorization of the issuance of
100000 of securities for the installa.
ton of municipal street railway sys-
tenn, voted upon at the general cleo
ton on March Z, Is apparently the
cause OF the decision of this particu-
lar firm OF investors, for the reason
that this issue will bring the bonded
Indebtedness above the per cent
limit fixed by New York savings
banks for investments in municipal
bonds of any city.
