GALVESTON RATE CASE.
A Rehearing Will Begin on Monday,
April II.

The board of railroad commissioners
received notice today from the inter
state commerce commission that a re
hearing of the Galveston rate case
would begin at Galveston April II.
The commission heard the case once at
Kansas City but was not entirely sat-
isfied with the evidence presented at
that time. Two weeks ago John Mar
shall. attorney for the board of rail-
road commissioners went to New York
and presented an outline of additional
evidence and the rehearing was order
ed.
This case is of great Importance to
Kansas. It involves the rates on al
most all commodities used in the state
from eastern points. Under the present
rule the rates in force from New York
to Kansas points are the same whether
the shipment goes to Galveston by wa

IT WAS A WOMAN
Name of the Person Who Robbed
Mrs. Armour
Is Known by Many Persons III
Kansas City.

Kansas City, April 6.-The Star to-
day says:
II was a woman who took securities
60 tba value of 100000 from the SaIe
deDosit box of Mrs S. b. Armour III
the New England National pahk anu
sold them. She was young, enterIdlIl-
{n, and close to the widow OF the late
1-aclrar So fond had Mrs. Armour pc
come of her and so satisfied was she
Of the Young woman's business apl-
itv that she had named her as an exc
cutor in her will. Since the discovery
the will has been changed.
The most remarkable thing apouG
+be entire disappearance and sale or
the securities is the fact that SO Tar as
can be seen there has been no inter-
ruption in the friendship of Mrs
Armour for the young woman.
The name of the young woman pc
gan circulating today by word or
1oo11th. and in a dozen banks and law
OFFICES it was heard. Tradesmen by
the score knew of the purchases and
the reported pilfering of the Armour
strong bog supplied the missing link
One firm of brokers is said to nave
handled about $4,000 worth Of the
bonds All of them the young woman
brought to the office personally. she
represented that Mrs. Armour w1shed
the securities sold as soon as posslDle'
Knowing the close relation existing pc
tween the young woman anu NIL .
Armour, the broker accepted the COM
mission without suspicion. Another
broker familiar with the young wo-
mans transactions is said to have re-
ported them to Mrs. Armour's banker.
This banker Immediately told Mrs.
Armour. She is said to have been as
tonished and at that time refused to
Relieve in the dishonesty of her young
friend. 1t was not until later that she
changed her will 80.
One of those closely connected with
ease said this morning:
Everything in the affair shows an
abnormal state of the young woman's
mind. What did she do? Money
rolled in by the thousands of dollars
Did she put it away? Net a bit of it.
She Violently had a taste for the ar
fIstic. She never had been able be-
fore to crafty that taste. By associ-
alton with persons of large means she
had come in contact with valuable
rugs pictures and jewels. She yearned
20 have such things of her own. And
ahe df6 She went into the shops and
bought without regard to price. It's a
strange case and one worth the STUDY
OF a criminologist."
on one occasion, being questioned
nv a tradesman about her extensive
purchases, the young woman explained
that a wealthy brother was sending
her money and that when she had &C
cumulated $4,000 from her brothers
gifts she intended to retire"

ter and thence by rail 800 miles or by
rail the entire 1,7O0 miles, The rail-
roads absorb the difference in the rate.
The water rate to Galveston, plus the
rail rate for 500 miles is the same as
the rail rate for LOO miles and the
rail rate from Galveston to Kansas is
almost as high as the rail rate line from
New York to Kansas. 1t is argued that
the rate should be from Galveston to
Kansas about one-half the rate from
New York to Kansas by rail and as
the water rates are much lower than
the rail rates this would affect a very
material reduction in the transporta-
ton charges.
