One of the fiercest rate wers In recent
yesrs la Imminent. The stnse of tprtlon
Just now la at Chicago where a meeting
la being held with a view of bringing order
out of the disturbed conditions. The light
aa yet hinges epon the suirar tarW and the
rata for cariqed good, 'but If harmony li
not restored the flght promises to extend
to other line .'of . goods.. While the Ms.1
lory llnea are held responsible for the pres
ent demoralized condltldn ef the sugar tar
iff, back of It all Is the Grand Trunk Line
association, which Is charged with. vio
lating the tariff on canned goods.
The shading of the tariffs. It Is said,
began with the Import traffic and has
gradually extended to domestic shipments.
The cutting ha been' done secretly and
has been going on for some time until now
the situation 1 regarded very serious
The meeting Mow being held at Chicago
Is one of several which have been ar
ranged In the last few weeks to under
take the almost hopeless task of straight
ening mit the muddle.
' 1.00k far. Fart tier Tronble.
Local officials are' of the opinion that the
end la not yet In sight. -.The fact that
the Chicago sessions are so prolonged
without reaching an understanding Is taken
as conclusive evidence that the crisis has
not been reached and there Is no prospect
that It will be. - . .
. Tha situation with regard to the rate on
canned gopds seems tc be as bad If not
worse than that for sugar. There Is not
even a pretense of maintaining rates on
this commodity, so intense is the competi
tion. Ona . Instance la noted where the
rate of 27 cents has been cut S cents from
Chicago, to the Missouri river, and there
Is a prospect that the rate will go stlU
lower. - "While a great deal of the blame
Is thrdwn on the Matlory lines, It is be
Meved that the mischief commenced with
the Canadian roads. The canned goods
shlpmenta " have been unusually heavy
owing to' the fact that eastern brokers
have waited until the last minute before
shipping. . "
Through from nasals to Omaha.
Eight through' tickets from points in
Russia to Omaha were sold by the Rock
Island Wednesday and brought out the faot
that there is a general exodus from that
country to America. The movement has
been aggravated by the war In the far east.
There is a sentiment in Russia that before
the war la over even those males may be
conscripted Into service who have already
put In is three years of enforced mili
tary life necessary In Russia.
One of the peculiar features of the con
tracts agreed to by the transportation
company la that the passenger shall ' re
ceive '$20 In . American money before he
leaves the ship'. The amount Is sufficient
to Insure him entrance Into this country,
and saves hlrrt from bumping against the
provisions of the Immigration laws. t Four
large coupons have to be made out.' One
is the' purchaser's receipt for the ticket.
Another fprnt fs kept by the rallrorfd com
pany, a third form Is sent to the steamship
line, and the fourth Is mailed to the pas-
scnger. . '
. Aa soon aa the steamship line receives the
coupon It notifies the passenger on what
day he may say, Ttieftotlce Accompanied
by a raJlria'd ticket for the nearest port
and gives implicit. Instructions as to which
train he must ' take. The passenger must
take that trajri and no other. .Representa
tives of the steamship company meet him
at the station. - He cart sail only on the
steamer provided. by the ateamship com
pany. - At New York the passenger re
ceives the 120 and a railroad ticket. If he
Is 'coming to Omaha he may . get here In
three days, and It . may take ten days, ac
cording to the line he la sent over by the
passenger association, which, divides the
business.
. Passenger Agents' Convention.
Several Important questions are to be
taken up at the annual convention of the
passenger and ticket agents at Old Point
Comfort, Va. The coast delegation has al
ready started, but It Is unlikely that Omaha
will be represented at the meeting. While
the work of the convention is not legisla
tive, recommendations are made which are
taken up fcy representative railroad bodies
r and acted on. . .A great many remedies have
' been brought about In this way;
A question uppermost lust now Is that of
adopting, safety paper, similar to that used
by the government, for printing tickets.
.The Idea , waa suggested by the American
Association of Passenger Agents . soma
years ago. Complicated forms of tickets
have been Isaued, but each year counter
feiters of railroad tickets are becoming
more expert in their work and bogus tick
ets are becoming more difficult, of detection.
The qucstldh of a uniform .ticket to be
'used by all the roads of the country Is
also to be brought up and the adoption of
suoh a plan la to be urged with, all vigor.'
A uniform method in granting stopovers
will be recommended. The present trouble
lis regarding the question of whether there
shall be stopovers on the return portion of
the tickets giving ten days,, regardless of
the final transit limit of the ticket The
abolition of Sunday excursions will be a
subject of discussion. Some of the roads
'have acted Individually In the: matter and
have decided to run no excursions, except-

probable that the action will be ratified

Swsunpee. with Wheat.
An effort Is being made by the northwest
em roads to move 40,000,000 bushels of wheat
eastwsrd, but nearly all the lines are in
undated with grain. Cars are being hur
ried west aa fast as they can be secured,
but the supply la not equal to the demand.
The movement was unexpected by the
Union Pacific, although It was understood
that the crop In Oregon would be larger
than usual. The Oregon Railway A Nav
igation road is said to be swamped. The
situation Is worse than two years ago,
when the congestion occurred over the Im
mense shipment of live stock and sheep.

A railroad man said yesterday that
the present rate of 13 to Minneapolis Is not
without precedent. Years ago a rate war
was started, which resulted in a $5 fare to
California common polnta and return. The
distance to Minneapolis Is about 360 miles.
The California trip meant a ride of over
1,800 miles. '
HE'S OFF THE POLICE FORCE
Former Member of Chicago's "Finest"
Charged with Vagrancy
In Omaha.
"How the mighty have fallen," said a
police court official when William Corrigan,
arrested on the charge of vagrancy, was
arraigned before Police Judge Berks.
"What. do you do for a living?" asked the
police magistrate of the prisoner, who stood
at the .bar like a tower of strength and
physical manhood.
'Well, Judge, I'll tell' you- I. was on the
Chicago police force and was mentioned
for meritorious services, but but I got off
the force some way," replied Corrigan, his
voice faltering toward the lost.
Corrigan showed a pair of calloused hands
as evidence of recent work not on the po
lice force, but In the wide, wide world so
the judge discharged him.

LEE AND DRDMMY IN A CLASH
Oity Prosecutor and Detsotirs Ests Hot
Words in Court.
PETTY LARCENY CASE STARTS THE ROW
Dnnnr Aeeases Lee f Trying
Dlseomsnod Witnesses 'ana the
Argnntent Reaches n Di -clden'Iy
W arm Stage.
The trial of a prisoner charged with
petit larceny, who appeared In police court
with the stolen goods on his back, caused
quite a little commotion and a sharp tilt
between the city prosecutor snd ona of
the detectives before Judge Berka yesterday
morning. Daniel J. Smith was arraigned
on complaint of Dr. R. F. Pries ot U21
Charles street who charged the prisoner
with having stolen wearing apparel and a
valuable ring. Detective Drummy fancied
that Prosecutor Lee Intended to postpone
the case and thus discommode the wit
nesses, and out of this grew the fuss.
Week before last Dr. Pries advertised
for a man to cut gross snd do other odd
jobs around the place. Smith applied and
was given work. He worked all day a
week ago Saturday and returned on the
following Monday. Mrs. Pries being In
Chicago and the doctor having to attend
to his business. Smith was given more or
less liberty about the place, painting floors
and doing other Inside work. The stranger
told Dr. Pries a hard luck story ot his
deportation from Cripple Creek during the
labor troubles there and the doctor says
he gave the man two old suits to give
him a start
Hal th Ooeds On.
When Smith left Dr. Pries says he missed
among other things a ring of the value ot
115. He suspected Smith and his arrest was
accomplished Tuesday evening by the de
tectives. Dr. Pries called at the police station to
Identify and queetlon his recent employe,
who denied any knowledge of the ring and
at first of any other articles claimed to
have been stolen by the doctor.
"Where did you get that collar?" asked
Dr. Pries.
"I got that in Cripple Creek," responded
the miner.
"But It has my nam written In Ink; It
is mine," rejoined the man of medicine.
The prisoner hung his head in silence.
Then Dr. Pries examined the man's un
derwear and showed that his name was
also on those garments, and even to the
socks Smith waa wearing the apparel of his
benefactor. But yet he stoutly denied steal
ing the ring.
Lee and Drammj In Tilt.
Smith's arraignment before Police Judge
Berka precipitated a tilt between City
Prosecutor Lee and Detective Drummy.
Pries had Just sworn to the complaint
against Smith before the police magistrate
when Detective Drummy asked the city
prosecutor If the case could not be dis
posed of then, as two detectives and the
doctor were being detained from other du
ties and as the man had the stolen goods
on his person the detective suggested the
strength of the case.
"Well, don't butt in; we will get around
to It after awhile," responded the city
prosecutor.
Noticing the temper wlth'whlch the wordt
were spoken Dr. Pries left the court room
and started up the street At this Prose
cutor Lee asked If the doctor had gone.
Detective Drummy Said he had.
"Well, 1 11 Just dismiss the case," said
Prosecutor Lee.
"And then I will re-arrest Smith as fast
as you dismiss the case," responded De
tective Drummy. ...
"And ' then I'll have you before th
board," said Lee.
"Well, that will be all right, but I'll re
arrest thatNman just as often as you dis
miss the case, as he haa the stolen goods
right on him," replied Drummy.
In the meanwhile Detective Maloney went
after Pries and Induced him to return to
court and prosecute the case.
Smith was then arraigned and promptly
sentenced to thirty days.
