8 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : FRIDAY , JULY 1 , 1887. MR , K1MBALI OiN REBATES , The Traffic Manager of the Union Pacific Again Called , THE PACIFIC COMMISSION. Lawyer Popploton Glvon Anotlicr ManircBtntlnn of Ills Impatience at the ItcHulis of the In- SosNlon. Governor Pattlson and Juilgo Littler , of the Union 1'acilio investigating com mittee accompanied by thasteuofiraphcr , Mr. Davis , and the Sorficant-ut-urms.Mr. Walsh , returned to Omaha from Sioux City over thu St. Minneapolis & Omaha on Wednesday ovcniny. The gentle men expressed themselves us hav ing enjoyed the trip very much , Gover nor Pattison being especially pleased with the rich hoil and the evidences of prosperity which lie observed along the rotuo. It onlv lacked about ton minutes of 11 o'clock when General Trulllc Man ager Kimball carrying a roll of papers under his arm entered the room , and after shaking liands with the commis sioners , took the witness stand. On being asked what jjapers of those called tor by the commission wore ready , he sub mitted a statement showing the basis of regular passenger rates on the Union pacific lines down to the present time. A statement was also produced showing the open freight rates during the same period. On his attention being called to the fact that the special rates wore not shown , Mr. Kimball ad ! that would bo shown in the btutoinents of rebates al lowed , which was being prepared. State- menus were also submitted showing the written and printed instructions as to rates during that period and also in structions us to the granting of passes. This showed that passes were issued to news agents , eating house men , sheriffs , the press , principal representatives of re ligious denominations , temperance workers , to legislators as a matter of policy miule necessary by the action of other roads , persons accompanying live stock , elevator men , merchants , miners , millers , and others who had interests in dill'en.'iit localities nnd ditl a largo amount of shipping over the road wore allowed annual passes pursuant to ar rangements with other roads. "What do yon moan by 'customs of other roads' with reference to the grantIng - Ing of passes to members of the legisla ture V" Inquired Governor I'atttson. "I mean , " replied Mr. Kimball , "that Where other roads granted these passes wo would do the same thing. " Mr. Kimball also submitted a list of re bate vouchers of which an explanation had been asked. The explanation was printed by a typo-writer and was at tached , as an exhibit , to the testimony. The statement showing the cost of transportation over the territory covered by the Union I'acllic road from 1850 until the completion of the road was not ready. Mr. Kimball said ho would prepare and forward it to the commission. The cajr milenKO paid by the Standard and Conti nental oil companies from 18S3 to 1880 , inclusive , was also shown In a statement submitted. The witness produced a statement showing rebates allowed nnd money paid to other roads on account of pools. Mr. Kimball had a printed explanation of the items. Ono showed that $0,128.25 had been paid to the Atchison - ison , Topckn & Santa Fo and the expla nation was that this amount was the ex cess earned by the Union Pacilio road over its share in the transcontinental pool. Another item showed I3.238.U5 al lowed to the Omaha and Grant Smelting works. This was the result of a cut rate of fi ) per ton below tho'opon rato. Den ver and Pueblo smelters were allowed the same rato. "You say Senator Hill of Colorado , complained of the rates charged him , " observed Governor i'attisou , "why was thatJ" "Tho senator's complaint , " replied Mr. Kimball , "was that we charced a lower rate for load ore containing gold and silver than wo charged him for cop per ore. The matter was discussed at Borne length nnd finally we gave him a rate of $8 per ton. " The general t radio manager went on to explain rebates allowed other ship pers and was asked by the governor if these rebates were allowed to all ship pers. "They were if they nskcd for them , " was the reply. "lint how were other shippers to know that the rebates were . allowed ? " asked the governor. "You say they were not published. " "They generally knew of it , " said Mr. Kimball. "Suppose a man had paid the regular rate when ho was really entitled to a re bate , " pursued the governor , "and didn't know It , would the company hunt him up and pay back the overcharge ? " The witness thought the company Would not , but added if the shippers were charged less than they should have paid , ho never know them to hunt tiio company up and pay what they owed. When asked about a payment to the Pncitic steamship company , the witness said this was a subsidy paid by the Union Pad lie company as a member of the transcontinental pool. When the ques tion was asked if the branch lines con tributed to this payment , Mr. Mink said they did not contribute because they derived - rived no benefit from the arrangement with the Pacilio Mail company. It was necessary to pay this subsidy in order to got the oriental trade. Another item explained wns the allow ance of a transcontinental rebate to Murphy , Grant & Co. , of San Francisco. This rebate was allowed in order to got their entire eastern shipment and pre vent them from using the water route. Special rates , the witness said , were given to the Standard. Oil company for the sumo reason. The Standard Oil com pany gave the Union Pucitio 50 per cent of its Pacific coast business under this ar rangement. This rebate amounted to 15 per cent of the open rates. When asked if this rnlo was allowed to all other oil companies shipping over the same route , the witness said it wus not. In explaining a rebate allowed to Mr. Wells , nn Indian supply agent at Schuy- ler , Mr. Kimball said these rebates were universally allowed to government sup ply agents and the mtor-stato commis sion had recently decided that the rail road company could make what rates it phase ou these supplies , because it in ured to the benefit of the government. "Could any bidder who was not awnru of this rebate successfully bid for furn ishing Indian supplies in competition with a bidder who did receive this rate ? " inquired the governor. "Such a supposition Is not tenable , " said Mr. Kimball , "because it was uni versally understood that cut rates were allowed ou Indian supplies. " In explanation of rebates allowed to the Willow Springs Distillery company of this city , amounting to f 3.775.08 , Mr , Kimball said this was allowed on ship mo nts of corn to the distillery from va rlous parts of Nebraska pursuant to an 'agreement by which the distillery was tc .give the Union Pacilio road its entire shipments to San Francisco. ' In oxpltina tion of rebates allowad to the Union Cat tie company , of Cheyenne , amounting tc 14,704 , Mr. Kimball said this was done because the Sioux City & Pacific hail made similar rebate to the cattle com pany. . "Wero other cattle companies allowed ] kt JMUtfr.elMe.8r wk a tUo governor , "They would bo under tin same circumstances. " Mr. Kimball was nskcd what explana tion' ho 'hud to odcr of a edtomont of a citl7.cn to Sioux City , to the efleet that Sioux City shippers to points In Washington territory wore charged twice as much bv tlu Union Pacific as shippers from Kanias City. "That can't bo true , " said ilr. Kimball. "Tho mayor of Sioux City so ' .cstiF.ed before the commission , " saii GovcrLor Pnttison. "Well , ho was off Ills base1 replied the traflic manager. He was then told that the explanation afterwards given by the mayor was that Sionx City shippers were obliged to ship south to Omaha over the Fremont , Klk- horn & Missouri Valley road and then west over the Union I'aciliewliorea3 the Kan sas City shippois had n direct line to the points of destination in Washington ter ritory. This matter was still being dis cussed when the commission adjourned for dinner. AlTLIiXOON' SHSSIOK. When the commission was called to order at half-past 2 o'clock yesterday af ternoon General Tralllc Manager Km- ball again took the stand , The first things explained by the witness were the rebates allowed to the Horn Silver Min ing company. In 18SO an arrangement was entered into with this company by the Union Pacific company whereby they were to receive if 1.50 per ton on all ship ments from San Francisco to points on the Missouri river. Tills rebate was al lowed on the ground that the Horn com pany , by an arrangement with the Frank lin A : Drown Steamship company of Now York , could ship cheaper by Uio ocean route to Ncw\ork from San Francisco than they could if obliged to pay the open rates of the Union Pacilio in shipping across the country. Rebates amounting to $70,123.97 to the Hoston & Colorado SmoUinu company , of Argo , Col. , were given , Air. Kimball said , because the smelting company had a largo amount of low grade ore which they convinced the Union Pacific could not bo shipped at the open rates. The open rate of ? 12.CO per ton from Argo to Omaha was reduced for the Boston & Colorado Smelting Com pany to $10 , but since that tlmo $10 has been made the opnn rate. A rebate al lowed to Whittier Fuller & Co. of Minne apolis was explained as having been given as a protection in oil shipments to points in Idaho. Tho'stenographor then read from the testimony of the mayor of Sioux City to the ellect that shippers from Sioux City were obliged to pay from $30 to10 per car more than shippers from Kansas City.Mr. Mr. Kimball in explanation of this said that it resulted from thu freight the people ple of Sioux City were obliged to pay over the Chicago , St. Paul , Minneapolis As Omaha road to Omaha. If a line were built by the Union 1'acilio from Norfolk , Neb. , to Sioux City , n distance of seventy- live miles , the rates asked for by the Sioux shippers , Mr. Kimball said , could bo given. The witness then proceeded to explain various items in a statement showinc rebates and overcharges given to various liruis and individuals. The explanation given was that the concessions in rates wore made in order to secure shipments which would not otherwise have been mndo , or because they ren dered necessary in order to compete with other lines. After the witness had explained several of these'items ho was asked to submit his explanations in writimr and have thorn made a part of tun record in order to save time. Governor Pattison inquired of Mr. Kimball if ho was ready to produce statements showing how long rebates have been allowed to the Omami Eleva tor company , and when they com menced. Mr. Kimball said they com menced on November 1,1883 , and con tinued until April 0 , 18S7. "A further research may show , " nddod Mr. Kimball , "that rebates were allowed prior to that date. " "When wore the allowance of rebates to the Standard Oil company begun ? " asked the governor. "Rebates were allowed to the Con tinental and Standard Oil companies from 1874 to 1884. In WSl the Standard and Continental Oil companies weio con solidated , " was the reply. Mr. Kimball was asked what was the not rhto of rebate allowed the Standard Oil company prior to 1884 , and also what was the rebate from Jan- nary 1 , 181 , to April 1 , 1887 , on shipments from Omaha to San Francisco. Mr. Kimball had not yet looked this up and as ho seemed to have no record of the call , Mr. Popploton got ) and said in a tone of impatience , "hot's have a record of these calls so that we can know what have been an swered , what are to bo answered nnd what arc to go unanswered , so that we can strike bottom somewhere. " Having thus expressed himself , Mr. Poppleton left the room and presently returned with his btenographcr , Mr. Carroll , who proceeded to take down the calls as they were abkcd for by the gov ernor. Mr. Kimball was nskcd to furnish n statement showing the amount charged the Standard Oil company , for the return of empty tank cars and also the amount charged other oil companies. Ho said that over certain portions ol the route these cars were carried frco and ovet other portions of the route a charge was made , To furnish a statement showing just what these charges were , Mr. Kim Lie said , would require a vast amount of labor. "Tho difference between the amount charged the Standard Oil conv pany and that charged other companic ! was insignificant , anyway , " ho added : "One of the charges you know,1' ex plained Governor Pattison , "against tin Union Pncific road , is that the tank car ; of the Standard Oil company wore hauled back from San Francisco free while other oil companies were charged for the service. If your answer is thu the dillcrenco in chnryes was insigni licant , lot it go down so in the record.1 "Did you discriminate in favor of the Standard Oil company by allowing thoii cars to go back to Now York free , whili you charged rival companies for hauling their cars ? " inquired Judge Littler. r "When wo made our arrangements ii regard to allowing rebates to the Stand ard Oil company , replied Mr. Kimball "wo sometimes made the free hauling o their tank ii'.rs one of the conditions. " "Have you consulted your diary In re gard to the part you have taken In influ enoing legislation on subjects in whicl the Union Pacific railway company wa interested ? " inquired Governor Pattison Mr. Kimball said ho had consulted it and was asked to name dates when hi had appeared before legislative com mittces. "On 13 1870 " ho February , , replied "Mr. Vining and 1 appeared before i legislative committee at Lincoln to dig cuss railroad bills that were then pend inc. On February 8 , 1831 , I appoaroi before a similar committee for the sam purpose. 1 think the Doano bill Was thei under discussion. On February 10 , 1881 Mr. Viulnc and myself nnd Messrs. Wil Hams ana Usher , the attorneys of th Kansas division of the Union Pacific , np pcarcd before the legislature at Topckn This was also to discuss pending bills ii regard to railroads. " Ono or two other dates were given. "Havoyou any record in your diary , ' said Governor 1'attlsoiij "of payment o money to legislators for the purpose o influencing Them on the subject of . .lesis latlon ? " ' , "I have none , " replied Mr. Kimball. The witness aso | said in answer'to question that ho hail no record of letter written to mtmbcra of the leglslatur on tho.futbjeet ' of. rallroa legislation. Ho 'did havehowovei a printed speech which he made before legislative committee , and which -h o UiiYo recorded aa shgwliifi wu were the arguments ho employed to ln duce thu legislators to thiiik as ho did on railroad legislation. He was permitted to submit the speech , and it was made part Of the record. Mr , Kimball wna asked to name the lowest rales allowed the Himebnugh & Merriam Elevator company , the Standard Oil company , the Union Cattle qompany nnd the Omaha & Grant Smelting works. He estimated the lowest rate to the ele vator company nt 1 cent per ton per mile ; to the Standard Oil company , i to I of n cent per mile ; to the Union Cattle company 1 j cents , and to the Omaha As Grant Smelting company J of a cent per milo. Doing asked to pioduce a statement showing the illll'orcnce In the amount re ceived by the Union Pacilio road from pools and from ordinary business since 1881 , both as to freight and passenger earnings , Auditor Young said it was im possible to furnish such statements as uo saparnto rcconl was kept of the amount received from pools and from ordinary business. Mr Mink and Mr. Poppleton observed that the bulk of business was done under the pool system. In order to Illustrate the advantages of the pool ing system , Mr. Kimball said that when the Santa Fo road Hrst built into Colo- ido the Union Pacific company pro- icsed n pool and the Santa Fo refused to ntsr into a pool. A freight war ensued kvhich lasted for throe months. At the nil of that time both companies were ired of the light and a pool was formed. "Tho result was , " said Mr. Kimball , 'that ' while during the three months of ho tariff war the Union Pneilic did three hues the amount of business it did after ho pool was formed , the carnin gs dur- ng the three following months were hroo times ns large. " Mr. Kimball was nsked , In the course if the examination , if it was true that luring the past sixty days 300 cars ot 'reight , originally billed nl Kansas City o go over Iho Union Pneilic , had been iivcrted and shipped over the Santa Fo 'oad. 'oad.Ho replied that ho didn't think such a : hing was possible , although sometimes nfter having secured tl < o shipment of an tmouut of freight the Union Pacific road ! ound it had not the cars nyailable to 3arry it and was obliged to turn it over o another road. Considerable more reight had been diverted to the Union . 'acilio lines in this way , said Mr. Kim- mll , than bad been diverted by it to jthcr roads. Some times , owing to a slitting of rates by some rival road , roight which the company thought it uul secured wns taken nwny from it nud given to the rivnl road. Mr. Poppleton wanted to know whether ho freight referred to was shipped , hrough Kansas City from eastern points or whether the ears were originally oaded at Kansas City. Governor Pattf- on replied that the freight was loaded on ho cars at Kansas City. "If there has boon anythingof that kind going on , " said Mr. Poppleton , rising , "you can save this company thousands of lollars , governor , by giving the name of the party who was responsible for { t. We want to know whether hat was done to the extent of a single car , or whether some able bodied , miked "iar hns been trying to mislead this com mission. " The governor smiled at this outburst on the part of Mr. Popploton , but with out replying turned to Mr. Kimball nud deliberately ro-read the question from his note book. " 1 thought the question an important one , " ho observed , "and have written it down. " Mr. Kimball promised to look up the record and report as to what extent cars had been diverted from the Union Pacific to other roads. Mr. Kimball was nsked if a man named O. P. Mason was paid by the Union Pacific road for making polit- cnl speeches. Ho said no man by that name had been so paid and that if O. P. Mason , the secretary of the state railroad commission , was referred to , ho would nay he. Mason , had always been hostile to the Union Pacilio road , and was par ticularly so just now. Mr. Kimball , referring to a letter to the BEE from North Platte , In which it was asserted that the Union Pacific road is now charging $1 more per ton for ship ping llonk Springs coal to North Platte than to Omaha , said that this was not true and had not been for years. The commission adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning. Saturday morning next the Pacific railway investigating commission will start from Omaha upon a personal in spection of the lines of the Union Pacific railway and to inquire into the relations of the railroads to the communities through which they pass. They will take testimony at the following places , on the days nnd at the hours indicated : Saturday , July 2 , Columbus , nttn. ) m. ; Grand Island , at 8 p. m. Monday , July 4. Lincoln , at 0 a. m.

It IB Transferred in Slimy Richness to Parched Throats. The water which is now being supplied to consumers through the public mains in this city , Is perhaps the dirtiest to which our people have been subjected. It has been so filled with sand ns to grate upon the teeth , and the indignation of consumers hns been most pronounced , Yesterday morning a certain person crea ted some excitement by making n jocose announcement to the effect that the price of the water naa been raised. Thoroporl circulated rapidly , but when some one said that the raise had boon occasioned by the amount of valnablu Omaha real estate which was being given away , the object of the announcement became up parent. A DEC reporter in quired at the water ollico tc ascertain the truth of the rumoi of the alleged raise and found that no change had been contemplated The explanation vouchsafed of the mmlcl ) condition of the water , was that i new settling basin was being built at the works , and water was being let into it , and it would he a few days before the latter would bo able to bo as clour as il was bcfoio the era of mud.
