Allen Takes I'p Dlapnte.
Mr. Allen had his office In the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas headquar
ters In the Walnwright building today. He
at once went Into executive session with
General Superintendent Maxwell, who had
In hand until the general manager's return
the ultimatum of the 1,000 trainmen and
conductors of the road for an increase of
wages, amounting to 13 per cent.
It was stated that all the steps taken and
all the facts bearing on the situation were
being gone over carefully, a report which
was borne out later when the settlement
was officially announced.
Just before General Manager Harding of
the Missouri Pacific went home last even
ing the Missouri Pacific grievance com
mittee waited on Mr. Harding with an ulti
matum demanding 15 per cent.
President Ramsey, who is west. Is ex
pected here to confer over demands made
on the Wabash.
Grand Master Morrlssey of the trainmen
and Assistant Chief Garrett son of the con
ductors issued a statement to the public be
fore the happy ending was reached. They
say the men had voted for an increase of
pay to 20 per cent, and with that authority
at their back a concession was made, the
greatest that has been made by men simi
larly situated.
This concession was a reduction of the
demand to 15 per cent. The Missouri Pa
clflo made an offer of 11 per cent increase
and tbo Missouri, Kansas & Texas one of
1114 per csnt.
Negotiations have been going on twenty
four days. "During that time." says the
address, "we have heard much of the effect
the granting of the Increase would have on
the financial future of the railways, but
It Is worth the careful consideration of
those handling the properties what effect a
refusal" Is going tc have on the stock Val
ues ,0f the properties .concerned. :
' 'Effect ('pen Securities.
"We are not altoge'tker ignorant of the
factthat the effect of K refusal will be to
cause shrinkage of values in railway se
curities In one day that will more than
equal the amount necessary to meet tho
increased cost of operation Involved for a
period of years, and that if it should em
brace any great extent of mileage Wall
street will be the proper place to consult
the financial barometer; and an obstfhatj
refusal may serve as the best corrective
that has yet been found for the policy of a
consolidation that has been popular of lato
and for which a legal remedy has been
vainly sought.
"From first to last we have given full
consideration to the rights of others, and
of the public, but we cannot' accept the
findings that all the obligation Ilea on us
to conserve the Interests of both the prop
erties interested and the public, at the ex
pense of our own, and we propose that oth
ers shall bear their share of the 'Whito
Man's Burden.' "

HOUSE CLOSES GENERAL D.BATE ON BILL
Vote Mill lie Beached Today on
Measnre to Place tireater Leaal
Restrictions on Indastrlal I n
eubaae la I altea atates.
WASHINGTON. Feb. General debate
on the sail-trust bill closed In the house
shortly before 6 this evening. The debate
had lasted since le In the morning. More
interest was aroused -as it proceeded and
the closing speeches by Mr. De Armond
(Mo.) and Mr. LlttleHeld (Me.) were de
livered to crowded galleries and to a full
attendance of members.
Tomorrow the bill will be considered
under the five-minute' rule for three hours,
after which the final vote will be taken.
Mr. Jenkins (Wis.), chairman of the ju
diciary Committee, held there were no
trusts and congress had no control over
commerce.' '
Mr. Fleming (Ga.)"siiKested an amend
ment so as to make section 6 applicable to
water transportation.' He said that Mr.
Irvin (O.) and himself. Ijoth members of
the Judiciary committee, Had concurred In
a minority 'rrport removing tne prohibition
placed on carriers transporting trust made
goods. He was. opposed to It. because It
placed tbe -responslMUty of: determining
what were 'trust-mads goods on the carrier.
Mr. Gilbert-(Ky.)aald the bill was not
only a homeopathic 'dose, but would- do
more harm - than good.- - The republican
party was-amvaged ra the same sort of des
perate effort to destroy the trusts which
characterized It in 'Its attempt for ten
years to establish bimetallism In the na
tional agreement.
Pleads for 'Tariff Suspension.
Mr. De Armond ..(Mo.) then closed the
general debate fonhls side. He said he
realized how difficult it waa to deal ade
quately with the trust, question. Huuan
greed, with the best , human Intellect at
its command,, was not easily baffled, and
therefore a solution -of the problem required
sincere and honest endeavor. ,
. . He was, one or those who believed that a
revision of the. tariff could, accomplish
much, though he did not believe that tho
tariff sheltered all trusts. Still, If it would
break the horns of any of the giant; trusts,
why should the remedy not be applied?
Some on the other- side openly admitted
that the tariff choulij, be rev'sed in certain
particulars. Why should not the bars be
let down when it had been made a shelter
ing place and a breeding ground for trusts 7
His s'de proposed an amendment to olotbe
the president with power to suspend duties
on trust-made articles whenever necessary
to protect the public -Why would not the
other side Join in the enactment of, that
amendment?, , -
"Do you prefer," he asked, "to trust the
trusts rather than your own president?"
"We are not seeking to destroy," Mr. De
Armond continued, "but to preserve, to act
as a bulwark to prevent the concentration
and constantly'' multiplying monopolies
which will finally crush out the American
Individual and rnake:a husk and" shadow of
what was once his proud American citizen
ship." ' ';' ' " ' "
' The bill reported from the Judiciary com
mittee, he said, Was quite a different meas
ure from ihaf'orlgtnally introduced by Mr.
Little-Held. '
"When ihe'iVritletnan from Maine started
out' said be; h had bW06 Is bis- eye and
a tomahawk in lis hnd( but py the time
be' land Ills cofleagues caught ,up tvlfb! the
trusts they" ''we're' smoking .tne' J pipe' of
peace, the sCy''as clear 'and the pickings
continue fo6d; foir the tr'ustSj" ' '
If It was desired o do ahytbltig effective,
he added, the minority amendment should
be adopted. ' Corporttions should be made
amenable to local courts as Individuals
were. The taxing power of thej government
should be employed as it was to suppress
state banks. The bankruptcy act could be
used to throw trusts Into court If they
violated the lpw.
He belfcved that "members" should se
riously, without' seeking party advantage,
strive to. place, an effective ' law on the
statute books. The administration and
tbe republican majority in congress would
go far enough to satisfy the people that
they sought to do something for them, but
not far enough to do damage to the enemy.
Trusts Thousands of Years Old.
Mr. Llttlefleld ' closed for the majority.
He said no one seriously believed that with
the constitutional limitations a bill could
be Introduced that would adequately meet
the situation. But he believed the com
mittee had presented a fair, reasonable
and constitutional measure, and as such
ha hoped it would address Itself to tbe
members of the bouse.
He created considerable amusement by
reading a most ' extravagant denunciation
of trusts, and then announcing that the
extract was not from a speech by any
gentleman on the other -side, but from one
delivered by Sir John Culpepper In the
British Parliament 263 years ago.
"They bad 'em -then," he said, "Just as
we have 'em now.' I call your attention to
the fact that tire re was no protective tariff
In those daye." --..
He traeed tha history of combinations
back to 2300 B. C, to show that combina
tions always had . existed and that there
had beea an outory agslnst them. . . It
stowed further hew old and how difficult
the problem-before congress was.
Speaking of the bill, Mr. LHtlefleld said
It was not contended that the publicity
feature i was a specLno or cureall for mo.
nopoly. but that Jt was a step In the right
direction, helpfui .to the pnbllo ,tn three
connections Where the trust, touched the
people, namely, as Investors, creditors and
consumers. -
In reply 'to a question1 -be said ha 'did
not believe congress would penalize over
capitalizations To do so would produce a
panic. But. publicity wouiq acquaint the
people with the facts and tbe evils and
overcapitalization would' gradually be abol
ished. At 6:43 the bouae adjourned."

the most Interesting of all Is when he tells
of the benefits to be bad from pure.-scjon-title
food and drink (such as Postum-Food
Coffee) UBed in place of ordinary coffee,.
In an explicit letter from a physician
of Henderson Cross Roads, Tenn., be aays:
!'I drank coffee until I was a physical
wreck, suffering with constant and severe
headaches, heartburn and extreme nervous
ness. Finally I became a confirmed dys
peptic and consequently weak , and Irrita
ble, although I am by nature very strong
and cfaeerful. I lest about 25 pounds.,
"Finally my nerves were shattered to
such an extent that I would regularly wake
up from sleep In a blghly nervous and. ex
cited condition. By i day I suffered from
attacks of vertigo and . palpitation of the
heart; then I began to believe it. was the
work of coffee. The constant over-stimulation
of the cardiac ganglia of nerves from
coffee bad produced exhaustion of the gov
erlng apparatus of the heart. . The slight
est exertion worried me almost to collapse.
My hair grew gray, although I was but 35.
"My knowledge as a. physician told me
my condition wss serious. - I quit the use
of coffee and Improved for .a while, but
very slowly. . Tben my attention was
called to Postum. I got some, made It
right, and found it delicious.
"In s week I could eat as heartily as
ever without the least distress to my stom
ach or Injury to my nerves. . I gained
flesh up to 182 pounds and the disordered
condition of the heart ceased. I am now
free from -rheumatism, which oppressed me
steadily while I was using coffee.
"Postura's discovery baa bees and will
continue to be a blessing. I hope Ita use
will extend until coffee, on of the most
widespread and physically Injurious of all
stimulants known to materia medlca, shall
be relegated to lta proper place beside
morphine and cocaine." Name given upon
application to Postum Co., Battle Creek,
Mich.
