IMPORTANT IF TRUE
IJnllroatls Agree to Abolish Kcliatcs
To tlio Shipper
New York Dec l1ha Times to
day fays
The big railroads of the country have
agreed to abolish rebates to shippers
according to reports which were clrnu
laUd yesterday Several conferences
on the subject have been held recently
This action is the direct result of the
many prosecutions recently undertaken
by the federal government rifalnst
railroads nnd railroad olllclnls for In
fringement of the null rebate clauses
In the federal statutes The action be
gun against the Clilcnio Alton and
several oillclals of that road mid the
Indictments just found at Kansas City
against n number of railroads Includ
ing the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul
lire cases In point i
An olllccr of one of the railroads the
officials of which were Indicted ut Kan
sas City while denying that his own
road had broken the law said that
there was not the slightest doubt thnt
the giving of rebates would come to an
end an a result of prosecutions
In his opinion tho results of these
prosecutions will be seen not only In
the ehlllanCe on the Dart of tho rail
road oltlclali to rebates but In tho
hesitancy of shippers to ask for special
concession >
The Information that rebates would
bo abolished came not only fiom rail
road oinduls but from prominent bank
ing Interests which directly or Indi
rectly control many railroads
The agreement to do away with re
bates Is Intended to weaken the aigu
menu advanced In favor of rate legis
lation Much of the discussion In re
gard to rate legislation resolves Itself
funny Into an agitation against the
granting of rebate which h recog
nized by i nil road oillclals thomsclvvs
as a serious uvll The confeienco
which have recently been held have ap
parently resulted In tho belief ntnonj
railroad presidents that under existing
conditions each road can trust Its com
petitors

LOST MONEY ON FITZ
Theatrical Man CliafRcs Snloon Keep
er Vllli Having liuncocd Him
As A result of the big fight In San
Francisco last night between Phila
delphia Jack OUrlen and Bob FUzslm
coons one man In this city was bump
ed for about J700
The man who claims lie buncoed
Is Clifford W Grant manager and
owner of the London Gaiety Girls
playing nt the Lyric
He was for old man Fltz up tp JlOOO
Hu drifted iota the FalnlalT saloon on
State street and offered to bet any part
of 1000 on the sorrel topped warrior
of the prize ring Four hundred dol
lars of his money was covered In short
order
The fight by rounds came In one
round at a time nnd It looked like Fits
would get away with the big end of the
purse Grant bet some more Then
came the Hash that OBrien had won in
the thirteenth round But according
to the complaint made by Qrint to Mr
Wllley assistant city attorney this
morning the flash was withheld
from Grant by Billy Plttman of the
Flagstaff Thinking that Fltz was a
sure winner Grant plunges two nun
dren more plunks and of course loses
Tho bartender said Grant who held
the money refused to permit the the
atrical man to be buncoed saYing It
was too raw When Grant learned that
the flash had been withheld he mode
a holler and now wants Plttman ar
rested
The matter will probably be adjusted
Mr Willey gays that unless the money
Is paid back to Grant there will b9
something doing In Judgo Dlehls court
Grant says he cores nothing for tho
J100 as he lost that on the square
but he does not propose to lose the
other 200
