FOR HIGHER RATE
Railroads Want an Increase in
Freight Revenue.
Request for Raise Soon, Ac-
cOrding to Rumors in Topeka.

Following the lead of the eastern
railway lines in asking the Interstate
Commerce commission for q raise in
freight rates, it is known in Topeka
railway circles today that the western
roads are planning to obtain perrnts-
sion to increase the revenues by 10
per cent in this section of the country.
Traffic officials of the railroads in this
city today would make no comment On
the proposed plan.
Gals of the western roads has reach
ed a concentrated stage and action
may be taken at a meeting in Chicago
soon, it is said.
Evidence supporting their conten-
ton will be gathered soon and In case
the eastern lines are denied their pc
tition with the governmental control
ling board, 1t is admitted by traffic
men that new schedules will be filed
at once asking for general advance
in rates west Of the Mississippi river.
The western lines are suffering from
a severe slump in business. Revenues
have fallen, off and aretrenchments
have been In effect on most of roads
since the holidays. The end Of the
fiscal year In June will bring to the
governing officers Of the western roads
an exceptionally poor surplus-show-
ing for dividend purposes.
1t is anticipated that each road
will be authorized to prepare evidence
supporting the plea for higher freight
rates and competent attorneys will be
hired to carry their case to the Inter-
state Commerce commission.

the Farley animal show and decided
to visit 1t also. Fearing resistance
they secured q case of eggs.
Raided Carnival Show.
The expected resistance materialized
when they attempted to pass the tick
ct seller without paying money. The
students began an egg bombardment.
One Of the eggs hit Farley in the eye.
Other eggs plastered his big painted
carnival signs with filth.
Cries for help brought stage hands
and rockies to Farley's aid. They
came armed with wrenches. clubs,
guns and swords and gathered around
their leader for an assault Both sides
charged simultaneously.
Wrenches crunched down on heads.
Clubs met clubs. Fists cracked on
jaws and the melee was on. It was
brief but furious.
When it ended one deputy sheriff
was fleeing for safety up a pair of
back stairs; a stage hand with two re-
vo1vers was in the hands Of the po-
lice; several students had cracked
heads and the animal show was much
the worse for wear.

INDUSTRY IN DANGER
Tin Plate Mills Menaced by New
Tariff Measure.
Slash In Rates Already Hao Caused
Falling Off In orders to Ameri
can Factorles-Wales Profits
at Our Expense.

AS the rise of the American tinplate
industry was coincident with the de-
cline of the Welsh trade from pros
perity to adversely, so will the revival
of production in Wales cause disturb
ance in turn to American tnplate
makers. Such, at least, is foreign
opinion based on the announcement
that as result of the cut in the
American tariff Welsh firms have re
ceived orders for 100000 tons for de-
livery to American oil and canning
concerns in the near future. This
tariff development takes us back to
the adoption of the Mckinley tariff,
when the author of that historic up
ward step in the policy of protection
of American industries triumphed over
q determined spirit of opposition born
of doubt and misgiving and inserted
paragraph that gave the foreign
monopoly the option of facing a ruin
Gus competition or removing their ma
chinery to the United States.
The starting of the first tin mill un-
der the Mckinley tariff was made
quite a national event, with Mr.. Nc
Kinley in attendance to press the but
ton, but so much uncertainty was felt
at first that capital was coy about
making a venture. Progress continued
slow until the Dingley tariff promised
gainful results and permanency, while
the expansion of the oil and canning
industries created demand for tre-
mendously increased mill capacity.
The menace of renewed Welsh COM
petition serves to recall the animated
discussion of the steel schedule in the
house, disclosing a firm conviction in
the minds of the best informed men
on the majority side that the cut in
the duty on steel and ore could not
possibly affect prices except along the
Atlantic shore, which conviction still
persists, although the steel industry
west as well as east of the Alleghenies
has been the chief sufferer.
The sheer falling off of so per cent.
in the volume of orders, the long-con-
tinued decline in prices in strenuous
effort to get down to the foreign level,
and the inability to lower the cost Of
production to that point and leave a
profit, testify to the effect of the
slashed schedules no less conspicuous
ly than the orders for 10000 tons Of
Welsh tinplate.

The one obstacle to the immediate

the only serious objection to Home

What chance has a ghost nowadays?
Who can hope to keep phantom in
the family in the face of such perni-
cious inquisitorial activities as those
of the Boston professor who investi-
gated Back Bay mansion most con-
vincingly reputed to be haunted? Col
liers asks. Unpleasant and forbid
ding sensations had been the por-
ton Of tenant after tenant. Asleep
and awake, they were oppressed tith
alarm, melancholy and even paraly-
sis. Vague but horrific apparitions
floated before their eyes; their ears
were afflicted with terrifying noises
to their beset imaginations "the sheet
ed dread did squeak and gibber"
throughout the place.
Every circumstance of CHASTITY mys-
terry was present until their arrival
from the Massachusetts institute Of
technology a pedagogue bearing the
unimaginative name of Schneider. Pro-
fessor Schneider asked a few ques-
tions, shifted the air, and sent for
the furnace man. The furnace man
fixed the furnace and that fixed the
phantoms. One and ALL ghoul, ghost,
goblin, wrath, specter and banchee,
they vacated the premises and return
ed to their home limbo. They had
been born of poisonous gases escap-
ing from the defective furnace.
Most ghosts probably do leak out
of bad fiues and pipes. This contribu-
tioa to demonology will commend
Schneider to plumbers. and owners Of
haunted real estate, but will never
earn him membership in the Society
