Railroad News

AS result of the rear end COLI
sion on the Illinois Central railroad
some weeks ago, which resulted in
the loss of the lives of several prom
iIent railroad officials, the various
companies have awakened to the
need of better protection for the rear
end of trains.
The Burlington has been the first
to take definite action in this matter,
and orders have been issued to place
fiagmen on the rear end of all pas
senger trains carrying six or more
cars. All trains out of Rock Island,
coming under the above classified
ton are now carrying an extra man,
the new orders going into effect To-
cally Friday morning. These flag
men have no other duties than to
protect the rear end. Whenever a
stop is made they walk back and sta
ton themselves some distance in the
rear of the passenger and in this way
there can be absolutely no danger
of an accident similar to the one on
the Illinois Central.

Washington, Feb 12.-"There is more
than 100000 in the treasures of the
express companies of the United States
collected through overcharging the
public"
This explains-this terse statement
from Chairman Clements of the inter
state commerce commission-why the
commission is formulating it's plans
for the criminal prosecution of the
several corporations.
Various grand juries are to be asked
to return indictments. They will not
be asked to indict the individual Off
cials-only the companies.
Each company will be prosecuted sep
arately, as the alleged violations of the
law were committed at the principal
offices of the concerns. Many viola
tons of the law were committed in
New York, Chicago and San Francisco,
and action against two or three com
panies will be brought in each of these
cities.
There will not be a wholesale prose
cution. The commission will select
some of the most fragrant violations
and ask the courts to impose heavy
fines in these cases.
The smaller offenses will be over.

MOLINE BOY WILL
Be LIFE CRIPPLE

Homer Crippen, 15-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Crippen, 1872
Twenty-sixth avenue, Moline, received
injuries yesterday while hrnJIng that
will make him a cripple for life. He
vas shot in the foot with charge of
shot from a gun held in the hands OF
William Nixon, a 19-year-old colored
boy. Homer with two companions
started out back of Coal Valley. At
noon they stopped at a farm to get
dinner. While there Nixon came up
on them. He had been refused per-
mission to join the party earlier in
the morning and was peeved. He laid
down his rife and picked up young
Crippen's shot gun. When asked to
exchange, Crippen charges that the ne
gro, calmly and deliberately pointed
the gun at his feet and discharged it
The injured boy is now at the Moline
City hospital. Nixon will probably be
held.

overcharging.
1t has been shown by the investiga-
ton that no efforts were made to re-
turn the amounts of overcharges to
their rightful owners. The Adams Elk
press company has $4,000 derived
from overcharges, and the other large
companies have amounts approximate
ing it.
Three thousand cases of overcharges
have been presented formally to the
commission, but owing to the fact that
in most instances the overcharge
amounts to small sum, no action was
taken by the shipper. Ten thousand
letters have been received by the COM
missioners complaining of the prac-
tees. Every day they receive letters
on this subject.
Fines as high as $4,000 in each vio-
lation are provided by the Elkins law,
under which these prosecutions will be
brought.
The first section of that law pro.
vides that the wilful failure upon the
part of any carrier subject to the pro
visions of the interstate commerce
laws to file and publish their rates OF
strictly observe such rates, until
changed according to law, shall be a
misdemeanoT, and upon conviction
thereof the corporation offending shall
| be subject to a fine of not less than
$1,000 nor more than $4,000 for each
offense."
