8 KEWS OF RAILROADS NOTABLE GATHERING OF OF FICIALS OF VARIOUS LINKS BE FORE THE COMMISSION AN ARRAY OF LEGAL TALENT Ex-Attorney General Chllds Appears as Connsel for the Commission — Full Discussion of the Merchan dise Rale Question —Commissioner RiiiKdul Presided Over the Con ference. Twenty-one railroad officials gathered in the offices of the railroad commission yesterday afternoon to attend the freight rate hearing and invest'gation ordered in a citation sent to the different roads operating in the southwestern part of the Btate a month ago. The hearing pro gressed no further than an adjournment until March 26, and little was done be yond establishing a common understand ing concerning the matters which will come up for argument. It was decided by common consent to hear the merchan dise rate question first, since all the roads were directly interested, and to follow with the investigation of southwestern grain rates, after which the commission will hear complaints upon freight classi fication. Commissioner Ringdal presided over the ronference, and with him sat Commis sioners Becker and Knox. Ex-Attorney General Childs acted as counsel for the commission, and the legal departments of the roads Interested were represented by their heads and assistants. Mayor Cur rier, of Mankato, and several interested shippers were present. The representa tives of the different railways were: Great Northern, General Counsel M. D. Grover; North-Western, President Marvin Hughitt, Vice Pres:dent H. R. McCulloch, General Counsel L. W. Bowers; Milwau kee, Vice President A. C. Bird, General Solicitor George R. Peck, District Freight Agent E. D. Sewall; Omaha, Vice Presi dent J. T. Clark, General Counsel Thomas Wilson, General Freight Agent H. M. Pearce; Northern Pacific, Vice President and General Traffic Manager Hannaford, General Counsel Bunn; St. Paul & Duluth, General Freight Agent Broughton, As- Bistant Counsel Hadley; Minneapolis & St. Louis, Vice President F. L. Day; Great Western, General Traffic Manager P. C. Stohr, F. B. Kellogg; Soo line, At torney M. D. Munn and C. D. Rogers, of the Chamber of Commerce, Minneapolis, were present. The gathering of officials was the most notable In the history of the commission hearings. The importance of the matter Up for argument brought the heads of the departments directly interested and the best legal talent in the Northwest. Com missioner Ringdal opened the hearing by reading the order of the commlsion for an Investigation of grain and merchandise rates in effect in the state, and explained that the commission desired first to In vestigate the universal practice of grant- Ing more favorable rates to terminala than to intermediate stations and to in quire Into the reasonableness of present grain rates. He left the matter of decid ing which should first come before the commission to the officers present. General Solicitor Bowers, of the North- Western, obtained recognition and Btat rd that In his opinion the investigation of merchandise rates should precede the other matters to come up, but wanted an Informal discussion first to enable the of ficials to learn precisely what the com mission wished to know and do. He rec ommended that a date be then set upon which an adjourned session could go Into details. This opened a sharp legal sparring match for points. In which Gen. Childs and General Counsel Wilson, of the Oma ha, took an active part. Mr. Wilson wished to limit the commission to a def inite statement of the their object and claims, which would have tied them down In subsequent proceedings. Gen. Childs took exception. In answer to a direct question, he explained that the commis sion would submit no evidence ih the hearing, other than that contained in their records of tariffs and rates on file. "I assume that the railroads," said he, "can furnish ths commission with evi dence as to whether the rates mentioned, at present in effect, are justifiable or not." President Hughitt, of the North-West ern, Interposed a question tending to sup port Mr. Wilson. "Are there any specified complaints against the present rates at present on file with the commission?" he asked, "or are the records at present free from for mal objections to our rates?" Commissioner Rlngrdal stated that no complaints were on file. "We have not called this hearing," said he, #tto inquire into any specified Instance of unreasonable rates, but are acting un der the law which permits us to investi gate rate conditions. One thing is evi dent from our records, and that is that a wide difference exists on all roads be tween distance and terminal tariffs. That this condition exists you do not dispute. The commission is not satisfied that the present state of business justifies these tariffs." It was also explained that the commis sion would admit the reasonableness of terminal tariffs, as a basis from which to show the divergence In rates In dis tance tariffs, affecting intermediate towns. General Counsel Bowers, of the North-Western, then made an argument for extension of time in which to produce evidence in support of the defense of the railroads. "Before It would be proper to reduce rates, as you intend to do," said he, ad flresslng the commissioners, "and to cut the interstatlon tariffs to the same basis fes distance tariffs- you must determine Ihe following points: "Whether the terminal tariffs are not hnreasonable. "That Interstatlon rates are not as low ' is present service will permit. "That railroad revenue in Minnesota will permit a reduction and establish the Wisdom o f such a course. "And thait It would be right to disre gard the universal practice of railroads as to terminal and distance tariffs In making them approximately the same, and thus controvert the opinions of emi ment transportation authorities. "With these several propositions before Us, each of tremendous importance to railroad Interests, we cannot prepare our selves for a hearing within less than thinly days' time." The statements met the approval and support of the majority of the officials present, and after a conference the com mission granted an adjournment until March 26. The officials promised to sub mit tables showing their rartes and to pro duce employes for evidence in support of their claims. A side issue of the hearing was an ar raignment of the present arbitrary meth ods of freight classification before the commission by Mayor Currier, of Man kato. He charged that the railroads operating there had raised the classifica tion of the products of his manufactory without notice or apparem cause, and had put an additional $1,000 on his yearly freight bill. He asked for an investiga tion of his complaint. The commissioners directed that it be filed In the proper method, and set its hearing to follow the argument of grain rates. B. & O. ACCESSION. Secures Splendid Freight Terminal* in Chiensro. CHICAGO, F«b. 21.—Negotiations which have been in progress for* some time have practically been concluded whereby the Baltimore & Ohio railroad secures a lease for a term of ninety-nine years of the ter minal facilities of the Chicago Terminal and Transfer company, which were prac tically given some time ago by the Wis consin Central railroad. At present the Baltimore & Ohio Is using the Terminal company's tracks for passenger ter minals, and for freight facilities on the west side of the Chicago river. Under the arrangement, which has all but been con cluded, however, the Baltimore & Ohio secures control of freight facilities and dockage on the east side of the river, which will give the company the best ter minals in Chicago, and enable it to han dle lake freight much more extensively than has been possible heretofore. AGENT OF AGENTS. Representative of Chicago Passen ger AH.soeta.ti.on In the City. The secretary of the Chicago local pas senger association, J. A. Shepard, was in St. Paul yesterday. The association which he represents is composed of ticket agents, and during the day Mr. Shepard called upon all the city agents in St. Paul. Nothing could be obtained from him regarding the object ofi^ftls visit, though it was indicated on the railroad run that it has some connection with the matter of routing business. In view of the present situation, and the fight being made against commissions, his visit is re garded as significant. Thirty Complete Meals. The Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha has issued an attractive booklet advertising the excellence of the new fast service between the head of the lakes and Chicago. The novel feature of the booklet, which was compiled by Adver tising Agent Williams, is a list of menus for dinners and suppers. Thirty different meals are enumerated, each complete in Itself. While originally Intended to show what may be obtained on the Omaha's new express trains, the booklet contains valuable hints to housewives, and the advertising department of the road has issued nearly a thousand through the mails to-ladies in St. Paul and Minneap olis. While giving them an idea of how to vary the never ending course of three meals a day, it also carries certain point ers regarding the comfort of railroad travel over the line which sends it out.
