Washington, Oct. 1G. That rebates
on charges for shipments of, freight
have been paid by at least one great
tallroad system slnco the enactment
of tho Hepburn rate act was ascer
tained definitely by Commissioner
Lane, of the inter-state commerce
commission, on his recent trip to the

the Southern Pacific, practically
owned by Edward H. Harrlman.

covering stnto business from one end
of California to tho other.
Although tho company's counsel re
sisted Lune's demand for tho books
showing the character and extent of
the rebating, they finally wero pro
duced. Tho disclosures from them
settled tho matter definitely. The evi
dence snowed tlmt the refund of,
money In rebates during tho past year
aggregated about $500,000. Many of
the items on which' rebates were paid
wero Intcr-Etato shipments.
It was disclosed, too, that the com
pany had what Is known ns "InBlde
rates," that is, rates which aro less
than tho regular published tariff rates
Intended for tho use of tho general
public. These "Innido rates" wero
given by tho Southern Pacific to

In HI Fight for Central of the Illinois
Central Rallroa-.by Barring the
Voting of M,731 Sharea
of Stock.
Chicago, Oct 16.T-E. H. Harrlman
was on Tuesday, by an order of court,
deprived of tho votlngjiowcr of 286,731
shares of Illinois Central stock In the
annual meeting , of t that railroad com
pany which opens at'noon to-day.
Tho order of the court was practic
ally Identical with tho modification
asked by the attorneys for Mr. Harrl
man. Both sides claim a,vlclory, Mr. Fish
because the enjoined shares will not
bo effective at tho "election nnd Mr.
Harrlman becauso 'his modification
was secured.
Tho shares of stock ruled out ore
thoso held by tho Union Pacific Hall
way Co., tho Railroad Securities Com
pany of New Jersey, nnd the Mutual
Life Insuranco Company of New York,
ngalnst which a temporary injunction
was Issued Monday By Judgo Ball iu
the superior court.
Mr. Fish asked thrt tho voting of
these shares bo enjoined. Tho court
after extensive arguitfent by attorneys
for both sides modified the Injunction
by permitting the shares to bo voted
under tho condition that If any ono of
these Bhares shotild'havo a decisive ef
fect on any vote taken the entire voto
is then to be null and void. In other
words, Mr. Fish Is given by tho court
a handicap of 286,731 voies, nnd In or
der to defeat hlmon any motion or
resolution which, comes beforo tho an
nunl meeting Mr. Harrlman and hla
friends must cast"28G,732 votes more
than are cast by Mr. Fish and his fol
lowers. The total outstanding shnres of tho
Illinois Central number 050,400. Count
ing out tho Bhares affected by Judge
Ball's decision Monday, tho total e-f
fectlvo vote Is GG3.CG0 shares. Based
upon previous meetings of tho Illinois
Central railroad, the estimate is made
that approximately, 00,000 sharen will
not be voted. This," In tho opinion of
tho attorneya In'tho case, will leavo a
probable representation of 5G3,G69
shnres at the meeting.
Tho decision of Judgo Ball was
granted after tho .attorneys for .Mr.
Harrlman nnd Mr.'. Fish had filled tho
day with arguments, and was tho re

A UNIFORM BILL OF LADING.
THE INTER-STATE COMMISSION'S
PLAN FOR ONE IS OPPOSED,
Shippers Deelre to Have Two Forms
of the Bill, One to be Made
Negotiable.
Washington, Oct. 16. Thnt the uni
form bill of hullngwhlch it is proponed
to put into effect on alt the railroads
of tho country on January 1 by the
lnter-stato commerce commission is
not satisfactory to tho commercial In
tereHts nnd that two sep.vato bllln of
liUling should bo adopted instead,' was
pointed out nt a hearing of those in
terests before tho inter-Btnto com
merce commission Tuesday.-
Tho hearing wns one of the most
Important ever held by the commis
sion from tho standpoint of tho Inter
ests nffccted,.nB the adoption of u uni
form bill of lading invito transporta
tion or freight by railroad will involve
a radical departure from tho methods
now iir use. At the present time the
railroads of the United States use
separate bills of lading nnd It is tho
desire of the commission, the shipping
and the railroad interests to secure
uniformity In the matter.
It wes tho concensus of opinion of
tho representatives of the Interests
heard thnt n recommendation should
be made for the adoption by the com
mission. Instead of the one which it
was proposed to putinto effect, of two
distinct bills of lading which should
be uniform in character, one to bo
Ituown ns a "straight" bill of lading,
and tho other an "order" hill of lad
ing, h.
An "order" bill of Indlng Is a nego
tiable Instrument upon which money
can bo loaned, and a '"straight" bill of
lading Is an ordinary receipt which
the railroad company gives for a con
signment pf goods. It was argued
that should tho commission adopt the
two proposed bills of lading, justice
to nil interests concerjied would be
afforded.

It all happened when Judgo Brcn

Then the young officer grow indig

-"You havo Insulted tho United

wrote.
Then It wns Judgo Brcnnan's turn
to got hot.
"When I get so that I-will apologize
to some little whippcrsnnppcr ol an

young lieutenant and toll him to avoid
any undue expansion of tho head.
Tell him not to get chesty," nnd thus
the court sent tho navy messenger
away.
Then came anothor letter from the
leutenant In which the officer said ho
had mistaken the purpose of 'Judge

"I am glad, on behalf of my su

concluded.
