REPUBLIC EPBCIAU.
Chicago, March C The result of the dis
cussion by tha passenger traffic managers
and general passenger agents of the West
ern railroad lines to-day resulted In but
slight changes being made In restricting
special and free transportation rates In or
der to comply with the niklns act.
The committee of Ave appointed on
Thursday submitted Its report and recom
mendations to the meeting, which were
adopted.
Tha committee recommends that all party
traCc ba restricted to theatrical companies;
all ezourslon tariffs to be filed with Inter
state Commerce Commission: only lecnl de-
ductlons and equalized rates for Govern
ment troops ana militia: reduces rates for
railroad laborers when requested by qual
ified officials, and only by conference when
business la comnctitlv e.
Labor rates are permissible when legally
established and requirement as to filing of
tariffs Is observed.
Excursion agency employes, when trav
eling with organized special trains In nec
essary capacity, may be classed and passed
as railroad employes.
Steamship representatives may be classed
with transportation rail lines emplaies,
subject to the restrictions of the passenger
act.
Tha discussion that followed brought out
tha fact that there was somo modification
necessary before Its adoption. Land agents
were put on the prohibited list. On the head
of "patiy tariffs" there was a oentlment
favorable to a. more liberal Interpretation
of the rule.
The matter of the free transportation of
officers and members of their families In

Grocer was murJered In his yard In the suburbs of East St. Louis, evidently by a rob
ber, w hoso purpose w as defeated by the unintentional explosion of Carl's rev olver.
Mathew A. Carl, a grocer, and proprietor
of a waiting-room on the outskirts of East
St. Louis,, was fatall assaulted In the yard
in the rear of his home at mldnlgnt Thurs
day. He died from the effects of his In
juries at 7 a. m. yesterday.
The motive of the murderer was supposed
to have ben robbery, although It was dis
covered that Carl's valuables had not been
disturbed. The Inquest will be held by
Corqner McCracken this morning.
Residents of Lansdowne held several In
formal meetings jesterday and practically
decided on the organization of a 'vigilance
committee. The details may be perfected
to-dav .
Mr. Carl was IS vears old and with his
brothers was engaged In the real estate
and building business in Lansdow ne. a sub
urb of East St. Louis. He also conducted
tie grocery ana waiung-room at me junc
tion of the East St. Louis city cars and
tho Edwardsvllle line. He lived with his
brother, Chris CarL about a block frcm his
store.
About two weeks ago burglars entered
Mr. Carl's store, and after thoroughly ran
sacking the place for money, escaped with
a lot of cigars. Since then Mr. Carl has
carried a revolver In his hand whn return
ing home after closing his store at mid
night, t
TJREAMED Or BURGLARS.
Wcdnesdav 'night Sir. Carl dreamed that
burglars had entered the yard in the rear
of his home, and that he and his brother
had had a fight with them. He told his
dream to his brother and sister-in-law- and
all laughed about It.
Thursday night the dream recurred to
him and he told Mike Meehan. a motorman,
about it, and also said that he feared that
he would be held up on his way to his
home Meehan volunteered to back his car
to the rear of the Carl home, which Is less
than a block from the station.
Carl jumped off the car there and carried
his revolver In his right hand. Meehan had
hardly gone fifty feet on his return trip
when ha was startled by the report of a
revolver. He turned on all the power of
the motor, and at the terminus he told sev
eral men about his fears that Carl had been
held up and Induced them to return with
him to the place.
Vben they got there they met Carl's
brother. Chris Carl, and other members of
tha family, who were stooping over the body
of Matthew Carl, who lay unconscious In
the yard. He was carried Into the house
the committee. This item was omitted on
account of tne conclusion that there passes
are principally, if not wholly, confined to
State boundaries.
Tho recommendations of the committee
were adopted by the mass meeting. Th"re
is no agreement among the members of the
territorial associations that the rules as to
rates and other matters shall be adopted
by tho lines in those associations.
The effect of the delberaUons on the fu
ture practice of the roads extends to the
length which the moral force of a conclu
sion by their associates may have on the
passenger agents of the several lines.
GOULD SOT COMING WEST.
Railway Macnate XilU Not Make
Usual lnapectlon Tonr.
George J. Gould has indefinitely postponed
his lnpccUon trip over the Southwestern
and "Western Gould lines, which he gener
ally makes at this time of the year.
It Is expected that he will make the trip
within a few months, accompanied by A. C.
Bird, w ho Is soon to occupy the position of
tratlic manager of all the Gould fines.
It Is stated that the reason of the post
ponement is due tn the floods which pre
vail In the region tri ,ersed by the Missouri
Pacific and other Gould properties, pre
vent the usual careful inspection made by
Mr. Gould on these trios
It Is emphatlcall denied that Mr. Gould's
proposed trip to St. Louis was for tho pur
pose of investigating the Wabash strike
and other similar troubles on his Western
roads. It Is fold that Mr. Gould has from
the first deterred these matters to the offi
cials of the various systems, and has paid
no attention to the notifications which he,
has received from the railway organizations.
It Is generally believed in railroad circles
that the appointment of Bird as traffic man
ager of the Gould system, which has been
confirmed by Mr. Gould, is but a step
toward a more complete unification of the
Gould properties, as foretold In The Re
public Mr. Bird will supervise only through traf
fic, or trafflo between the sv stems, and
will not take charge of the local traffic on
the lines.
His salary Is variously estimated at from
J10.O00 to J20.000, but railroad men scout at
tho idea of his receiving more.
President Kamsey of the Wabash, asked
when Mr. Bird would take charge, stated
that he did not know.
A railroad official. In speaking of Mr.
Bird's appointment, said: 'The traffic man
agement of the entire Gould systems would
be too big a Job for any man to hold down,
no matter how much he was paid.
"I believe that Bird Is as competent to
hold It down as any man in my acquaint
ance, but I do not believe that he can do It.
"In my opinion he will be put in charge cf
the Western and Southwestern Gould lines.
These lines are: The Missouri Pacific. Iron
Mountain. International and Great North
ern. Texas Pacific. Denver and Rio Grande.
Rio Grande Western, and possibly" the Cot
ton Belt, of which Edmund Gould Is the
president.
"Of course, in refutation of my theory the
position which John C Stubbs holds can be
pointed out.
"It is true that he Is traffic manager of
the Hantaan group, in which are the
Southern Pacific, Union Pacific. Oregon
Short Line and Chicago, Burlington and
Qulncy.
"StlU. I wIU stick to my theory unUl I
see an announcement to the contrary.
"The Gould lines In the Bast ureaant ccn
fllcUng traffic problems with those of the
West, and a tremendous amount of labor
would be required to manage elthr the
Eastern or Western system, much less both
of them together. It seems lmpo'ssible."

and several doctors were summoned. He
was unconscious when found and remained
In that condition until he died.
If the object was robbery, the murderer
was thwarted, for Carls mane) was found
untouched In his trousers pockets.
BLOW FROM "FISH PLATE "
The stable and barn in the rear of the
house where Carl lived is within a few feet
of the street-car track. Betw een the house
and barn Is a picket fence, one of the
pickets of which Is out. Carl cairled the
revolver In front of him after getting oft the
car, and evidently lowered It while crawling
between the pickets of the fence, which Is
within fifteen feet of the rear door of his
house.
The murdered evidently had been con
cealed In the stable, and from indications
he waited until Carl stooped to crawl
through the fence and then dealt Mm a
blow on tho back of the head with -orne
metallic instrument, thought to havo been
a. "fish plate," used in connecting railway
rails
The first blow Is believed to have been
enough to kill the victim, and It Is
thought that the contraction of the muscles
of his hand exploded the revolver.
The bullet passed through one of the
pickets and cut a corner out of another. It
is believed, however, that, although Carl
was fatally Injured, he turned partially
around on his assailant. The latter then
dealt him a blow on his right hand whlsh
fractured tho bones in his nand and wrist,
and, not satisfied, struck him seven times
on the head. The murderer then deoarted
without searching Carl's clothing.
STRUCK SEVEN TIMES.
Doctors who were summoned found that
they could do nothing to save his life. In
the meantime the alarm, had been spread
and the residents of Lansdovvne were
aroused. Two policemen were called, and
after looking over the scene returned to
notify the department.
It was thought at tlrst that a piece of a.
wagon stake, which vv.ts found near where
Carl had fallen and was covered with blood,
had been used to Inflict the injuries, but this
theory was discarded for the one which
gave the murderer c. heavy piece of metal
as a weapon.
That the object of tha murder was rob
bery Is argued from the fact that the as
sault was committed In Carl's jard, where
he would not have suspected anything of
the soit, and that the discharge of his
weapon probably defeated the murderers
purpose.

Believed Deal 1 Adjusted, but An

REI-UBLIC SPECIAL
New York, March 6. No official announce
ment followed a three hours' conference
of Rock Island-Morgan-Frisco Interests this
afternoon to adjust the deal, w hlch is pend
ing for the transfer of the St. Lsuls and
San Francisco system to the Rock Island.
The fact that James Campbell left the ty
lmmedlately after the meeting for St. Louis
led to the belief in some quarters, that the
matter had been finally closed, but Tersons
who attended the conference, although ex
tremely reticent, said that nothing of pub
lic Interest developed.
Mr. Campbell had intended to leave New
York Thursday night, but W. B. Leeds,
president of the Rock Island, who had been
in the South, did not arrive i In the city on
schedule time, and Mr. Campbell's departure
was Dostponed for a dav. It was said at
Mr. Lesd'M office to-day that he had not
been there during tne oai.
It is believed tnat the delay In making
public announcement of the taking over of
Frisco by Rock Island is due to fear that
by so doing Rock Island would find Itself

Miss White, as"Ited by Miss Starbuck

a gaiat of vice presidents of the associa
tion on the platform as a chorus Below
them, on the floor, hundreds of wn-nen
crowded and puhed to get as near tho
scene of illustration as possible.
"Ladie," said Miss Wnlt "I'm going to
tell sou this afternoon how to give jourself
and ever customer.a perfect, figure. Now,
don't say It can't be done. It can. I can

It's no use for ou to fit gowns 'till jou

the whole secret.

customer comes to jou, study her figure
before jou give a thought to her gown "
Beckoning to one of her satellites. Miss
White said: "Let the exhibition proceed,"
when, tripping coquettishlj- from tho ante
room came an elderly female clad in a man
ner that not even Anthony Corns took could
take exceptions to. The lingerie was of the
sort approved bj' and worn by societj
beauties, but there the resemblance ended
The situation was becomlrg strained, when
two -rett- joung girls came forward and
saved the day for the cause.
"Now," said Miss White. "I am going to
show jou how to come right out of jour
self, and you won't know jou have a cor
set on. First stand on the balls of your feet:
and stiffen the knee.
AVOIRDUPOIS NO BAR

"Push open the chest," she continued
"draw- In the abdomen, and I don't care if
a woman weighs 200 pounds, I can make
her over into a slender, gjrllsh figure If
she follows mj advice; VJjfVl
"Coma to me," said she. "and If I can't
change your figure, then you are past re
demption." During this talk the three living models
were turned this way and that, like so
many manikins. The joung gtrrs did not
seem to mind, but the elderly member
blushed and looked shy. Evident embar
rassment attacked even the newspaper pho
tographers, and thej occasionally turned
their heads the other way.
Notwithstanding their blushes. Miss
W hlte ruthlessly proceeded.
"The secret of putting on a corset Is
having It loose and wide open up the back,"
she went on. "Another erj important point
Is to unlace it every night. In relacing It
keep it perfectlj- loose, as If It were fall
ing off the figure. This, jou see, allows
jour natural figure to come out of the cor
set. Fasten the second of the hooks first,
alwajs. Then proceed to fasten the top
hook. Unhook the lower and fasten from
the top down "
Turning confidentially to the audience,
Mis White remarked sotto voce: "We
would not have all these things on" mo
tioning to the knee lengths underskirt. "If
we did not have these photographers here.
But then there are no other men in tl-e
place," this soothingly for the benefit of
the elderly model who showed signs of
stage fright.
"Now that jou have jour corset laced
correctly," proceeded the oracle, "lift up
the abdomen. Now. take up tho slack and
draw It in at the waist line, like that. Put
jour hands on jour hips and bring the bodj
out. Tuck in this little cushion to fill in the
space between the bust and the coret. and
there jou are," and she 3urveed her work
with pardonable pride.
Dalntj- blue garters of the latest,approved
type adorned each corset, and the cushions
which Invariably accompanied the latter
were made of light blue silk and were per
fumed with violet sachet.
In conclusion Mias White assured her
hearers that the new straight front, and In
cldentallj' the make she presented, was
good for every human woman." and was
morever the secret of everj- woman's form.
As an additional Inducement to wear the
straight front, it was asserted that :i
woman could eat "two dinners and not feel
it." whereas formerly she could not eat
one comfortablv. .
Thus enlightened, the women vigorously
applauded, and vowed that It would not bo
