NEW CLAIM PLAN ON FRISCO.
Shipper and Local Agent Fight Out
Their Troubles Minus Red Tape"

| Wichita, Kan, Jan. "a railroad
has as many troubles as an inexperi-
enced poultry raiser has in keeping the
wolf from his poultry. Adjustment of
freight claims and damages are the
bugabOo OF Il freight superintendent
The Frisco system has its share of this
trouble, but by means of a new plan
which went into effect in 1911 it is get
ting off lighter than other systems.
The annual report of the National
Traffic league recommends highly the
F-risco's system of claim adjustment.
The plan now satisfies the claims with
the cOnsig lee not the shipper. The old
custom made it necessary to haul the
damaged goods two ways so that the
shipper could see the damage The
railroad and the shipper then took up
the adjustment of the damages. This
caused several weeks of waiting and
inconvenience.
When Mr.. Jones receives a damaged
shipment now he doesn't send it back
to the shipper. but hops onto the local
freight agent Of the Frisco This agent
tells him to bring down his invoice.
The agent and the consignee go over
the damage When the visible damage
amounts to less than $50. the con-
signee is given his damages on the
spot. He feels better and the railroad
has less red tape to go through.
This plan has worked out success
fully so far on the Frisco. The Frisco
has another plan to try out during 1912.
1t will try to settle every damage claim
within 80 days. This proposal also re-
ceived special mention in the report
of the traffic league.

Farm Month Before Murder.

Kansas City. Jan. 6.-Mrs. Nancy
Mason, daughter of Mrs. Sara Bern
hardt. one of the four persons murder
ed at the Bernhard farm. told H. T.
thinner, chief of police in Kansas City,
Kansas, that she believed Charles x.
Bowman. charged with the four muir
ders, was employed at the farm when
she visited her mother month be-
fore the murder.
Mrs Mason is one of the parties to
a suit over the estate in the Johnson
county courts. Mrs. Mason alleged in
this suit that George Bernhard was
killed first and her mother beat to
death with the clock weight At the
time of the trial in Johnson county,
Mrs Mason said she saw the clock
weight found by the body of her moth
er at the barn door when she was
visiting the farm in November.
In the story told by Bowman to his
friends in Indiana, which he says he
was told by a mysterious man on a
horse he said that George was killed
first and then Mrs Bernhard. If this
We're proved the estate would have
passed to Mrs. Bernhardt, making
Mrs. Mason the next direct heir. The
court of johnson county ordered the
property appOrtiOned.
