Licked Whole Train Crew

Thomas S. Garrett of New York
whipped all the train crew of the
Santa Fe California limited on its
way into Iowa Monday and they had
to send a riot call by wire to the
officers at Fort Madison. He got
into discussion about the treaty of
peace with the conductor of the
train and laid out the "brass collar"
The brakeman rushed to his chiefs
rescue and went down to defeat. The
porter pulled the bell cord four times
and the engineer and fireman start
ed back to find out what was the
trouble. Garrett didn't wait for
them-he got off and started up the
track to meet 'em. In wink they
were listed as casualties. Garrett
returned to the Pullman and intimat-
ed that II anybody else had anything
to say he'd gladly accommodate
them. Whereupon a man with
spectacles, in a frock coat and white
tie, gave him a wallop that effec-
lively put a puietus on him. At. FIT.
Madison the officers took him OFF,
heard him plead intoxication and
fined him, while the train rambled
on to California.

Banker Leads Dual Life

A bombshell burst in financial
and social circles at Cedar Rapids
Monday. G. J. Duncan, most ac-
tive and among the most promin-
ent financiers in that city, was
charged with being G. j. O'Donnell
who dropped out of Duluth a few
years ago.
He has resigned his connection
with three of the biggest financial
institutions in the town. O'Donnell
is charged with having left behind
about $4,000 Of debts.
Duncan denies the charge. But
his associates in business claim TO
have evidence that when confronted
with $4,000 of the O'Donnell paper
he paid it without a whimper.
O'Donnell disappeared from Du-
luth in 1913. leaving a wife and
four children, IL is stated Dun
can appeared in Cedar Rapids in
1916 with a wife. He organized
three companies in Cedar Rapids.
One is the National Bonding COM
pany with 100000 capital of
which he is president. He refused
to allow stock statesmen who over
sold the capital stock OF this COM
pany, a commission. They have en-
gineered the expose and threaten
Duncan's prosecution on the Duluth
charges on the theory that he Is
O'Donnell. Duncan organized the
Mutual Liability company and the
Iowa Automobile Mutual Insurance
company Of Cedar Rapids. but has
been head Of the National Bonding
company at $4,000 a year.
Very prominent men are officers
of this company and they made an
audit of the books following the
salesmen's charges that Duncan is
O'Donnell. The audit showed the
finances in perfect condition. Dun
can Is about As. He claims to have
$4,000 offer in the east.

RATE FIGHT LOST?
New York Opinion Affects Kan
sas Railroad Charges.
l.. C. c. Makes Finding for
Travel and Hauls.

Kansas has lost her fight to hold
down interstate freight and passenger
rates, according to impressions today
in the state house. This opinion is
based on the decision of the interstate
commerce commission denying to New
York state the right to deny to trans
portation companies intrastate rates
below those fixed by the L. c. c. for
interstate travel and hauls.
Issues in the two cases are the same.
according to persons familiar with the
Kansas case. While there is a posi-
biIity that the state may appeal to
some judicial body for a decision as to
the validity of the federal transpor-
tation act, there is seemingly little
doubt but that the court of industrial
relations will be unable to support its
order before the federal commission.
The railroads appealed to the inter-
state commerce commission under a
claim of discrimination when the state
body allowed in part only7the rates
fixed by the interstate commission.
More than twenty states are seeking
relief from the federal commission
rate order. Under the decision in the
sion holds Jurisdiction to review and
regulate intrastate rates when they
are not in conformity with the federal
rates. Such action would naturally
give to the commission power to set
aside the decision of the industrial
court denying to the railroads an in
crease in intrastate passenger rates.
The industrial court also granted in
part, only, the I. c. C. freight rates. No
date has been fixed for the Kansas
hearing.
