INLAND ON FREIGHT RATES
Third Vioe President of Milwaukee Road
Addresses Senate Committee.
WEST MIGHT SUFFER BY THE CHANGE
Objects to Increasing Power of Con.
mission Beeaaae It Would Affect
Earning Capacity of
the Railroads.
WASHINGTON, April 29.-At the meeting
today of the senate committee on Interstate
commerce James H. Hlland, third vice
president of the Chicago, Milwaukee St St.
Paul Railroad company, was called upon
and made a statement regarding railroad
rates which specially, affect northwestern
traffic.
8omei of the objections to placing the
rate-making power In the hanas of the In
terstate Commerce coranilaflion are: 11
lives the commission power to limit the
earning capacity of the railways by invest
ing it with authority to make r-ttes without
providing means that will prevent nuiiinca
tlon of the commission's order by relative
reductions on the part of competing rail
ways, thereby maintaining the correlation
of rates originally complained of, thus com
pelling reductions in revenue without re
sulting In corresponding benefit to the com
plainants. 1 do not believe that It is possible for any
one to establish Interstate rates In all parts
of the 1' lilted Slates In an equitable man
ner without practical experience and
knowledge of the conditions in the localities
where relief Is demanded.
As an illustration of the Injustice that
may be done in the making of rates by a
commission appointed with such arbitrary
power I might elate an Inquiry recently
was made of me why It was that a rate of
60 cents per loo pounds was considered fair
and reasonable on lumber from the Pacific
coast to Chicago, a distance of 2,240 miles,
while a rate of 28 cents per 100 pounds was
charged on lumber from Ferguson, 8. C,
a distance of only a little over 70 miles.
I must confess that I was unable to an
swer to the satisfaction of the inquirer or
myself why there should be such a dispar
ity between the rates, because I did not
have any knowledge of the conditions In
regard to the conditions that surrounded
the making of the rate from the south to
Chicago.
(ilves an Illustration.
It may be, and I have no doubt it Is a
fact, that there Is a market for the lumber
manufactured at Ferguson at nearby points
which yields relatively a greater revenue
to the railway company than any rate
which could be paid on the long haul to
Chicago. Therefore, if they were obliged
to fix the rates from the Pacific coast or
Ferguson to Chicago by comparison with
tha service performed, the railways neces
sarily would be compelled to sacrifice par
ticipation In the transportation of lumber
from either one point or the other, and this
In my Judgment Is one of the most convinc
ing arguments that the rate-making power
without a full knowledge of all the condi
tions la the most destructive measure that
Can be devised for eliminating competition.
Another illustration of this arbitrary and
destructive form of rate-making Is the case
.brought by the Chamber of Commerce of
the city of Milwaukee against the various
railroads In the northwest complaining of
unjust rates, charges on wheat and other
grain from points of nhlpraent In Iowa,
Minnesota and Bouth Dakota to Milwaukee
as compared with rates on like grRin to
Minneapolis. This case was really the re
sult of an adjustment in rates between the
Minneapolis and the Puluth markets, which
previously had been made In line with the
recommendation of the Interstate Com
merce commission by compromise agree
ment, which, an I call It. mas acceptable to
both the Interstate Commerce commission
and the complainant.
The making of rate depends entirely
upon conditions that exist In the localities
where the freight originates and the desti
nation to which the railway company Is re
quired to carry It.
The western country particularly would
suffer, because the greater the distance
west from the Mississippi' river the more
sparsely settled is the country, and neces
sarily Uie more limited the volume of ton
nage. Ninety-nine per cent of the complaints
that are mnde to the traffic officials of the
various railroads are not that tho rates
themselves are unreasonable or unjust, but
that discrimination and preference is
shown, and that Is what should be regu
lated and the law enforced so as to prevent
the granting In any form directly or Indi
rectly of preferential rates for communities
or Individuals.
After Mr. Hlland had concluded his
statement he was asked a number of ques
tions. Replying to Senator Elklns, he said
that the effect of removing of all dif
ferentials would be to concentrate the ex
port business at the port that had the
best facilttlea for handling freight and
could make the best steamship rates. Nat
urally this port would be New York, and
In his Judgment New York would be built
up at the expense of gulf and other At
lantic ports.
Mr. Hlland stated there were no com
plaints regarding the use of private car
lines on his road. The road made the rate
on commodities carried in these cars.
Shippers were more economically served
by private car lines than they would be
without them.
When Mr. Hlland had concluded the
committee adjourned until Monday.
Texas, where they spent the winter for
the bfneflt of the latter's health. Before
her marriage Mrs. Fallon was Miss Mc
Alllster. The husband and a brother, Har
vey McAllister, will arrive from St. Louis
today. The other brother, Alvah McAllis
ter, is expected here today also from Den'
ver.

him to trie-office of a lawyer In the New
York Life building and deposit all the
papers with him.
Miss Wood said she knew that Miller's
confederates were somewhere near and
that It would be useless to resist, and
finally she consented to Miller's proposi
tion. Upon arriving at the New York
Life building "she was hustled In by a
back alley and was Introduced by Miller
to Abraham H. Hummel, an attorney. She
was "held under arrest for two days and
was not even allowed to dine alone," she
says, and during these two days Miller
kept insisting that he represented the
plaintiff and would have those letters at
all ha sards. Finally she saya she deposited
the letters, "or a portion of them," aa re
quested. Miller again accompanied Miss Wood to
the office of the lawyer who presumed to
act as attorney for her, over her protests,
and he assumed also to act also for Frank
H. Piatt, whom he alleged was about to
get out an Injunction against the publica
tion of said book.
Breach of Promise Charges False.
The petition goes on "that the said de
fendants caused charges to be brought that
plaintiff was about to sue Senator T. C.
Piatt for breach of promise and had aettled
same; that they knew the stories were
untnue; plaintiff never contemplated bring
ing any such action and never consulted
attorneys In reference thereto; that all
such charges were slanderous, untrue and
were made for the purpose of forcing
plaintiff to surrender to them said docu
ments; that after the two days of arrest
and persecution said attorney assumed to
make a settlement with plaintiff for the
outrage, compelling plaintiff to sign vari
ous documents, two papers that purported
to be receipts or pretended receipts for
110,000 each and attached to affidavits recit
ing that plaintiff would not reveal anything
that had transpired and would in no way
talk or write to or about any of the parties
to the transaction, and further claiming
that surh promises were made voluntarily
and without force on the part of the said
parties Implicated In the outrage and with
out fear on the part of the plaintiff.
Plaintiff claims no such amount was paid
her by Senator Piatt or any one. Plaintiff
alleges that thli pretended settlement so
made and her signature exacted to the
foregoing documents-was done for the pur
poso of making It appear that she was
about to sue T. C. Piatt and that ha had
settled said cause, sll of which was done
to Justify the forceful confiscation of letters
and manuscript."
Miss Wood closes her petition by alleging
that the letters and manuscript were of the
value to her of ,00, and she asks Judg
ment for that amount.

hugh Lee. She was met at the station
here by a large number of friends prom
inent in military and official life. Mr.
Fowler announced that the only thing

once to the New Willard hotel where a
consultation was held regarding details.
No official action by the War department
will be necessary under the decision to
have the burial at Richmond. However.

TORNADO KILLS TWENTY-ONE
Laredo, Texas, Visited by a DertmctWe
Windstorm Friday flight.
DAMAGE TO PROPERTY IS HEAVY
Telegraph and Telephone "Wires Are
Dswa ana Interrupted Commatl
catloa Delays Train
Service.
' LAREDO, Tex., April 2 (Via Bermuda,
April J9.) Sixteen people were killed and
scores injured In Laredo by a tornado
which tore through the city late last night.
Rumors of others killed In places outside
of Laredo are heard, but as yet lack con
firmation. The property damage Is large.
The damage wrought at Laredo seminary
Is severe. Not one of the group of msg
nificent buildings which go to make up that
Institution escaped damage. The barracks,
the primary building, Emery hall and tho
chapel were damaged from 80 to 78 per cent.
The escape from death of the teachers at
present quartered In the Institution Is con
sidered miraculous, as some of the build
ings which they occupied were completely
demolished. Mrs Easily, one of the teach
er, waa heroically rescued by several
young cadets, students or the Institution,
they lowering her by a rope from a second
story window. She was badly bruised. The
Mexican National hospital had the roof
lifted and It will require much time to re
pair the building for patients.
A trip through the town falls to show a
locality that has not suffered more or less
from the storm. The lences, telegraph and
telephone polM, corrugated roofs, chimneys
and walls and debris of all Imaginable kinds
strew the streets.
Clearlnac Away Debris.
The city authorities are at work cleaning
away the wreckage of the storm and to
night the city began to assume Its custo
mary tranquil appearance. Linemen are at
work endeavoring to straighten out the
tangle of wires and It Is believed that within
two days the electric light service can be
resumed. It Is hoped to re-establish tele
graphlo communication at least partly
within two days.
Conditions In New Laredo, across the
Rio Grande river, are similar to those
existing on this tthie. It is not officially
known how rtany dead or Injured are
there, but a city official of that place to.
night stated there are five dead that he
knew of. The five known dead added to
the list of dead on this side of the river
would bring the number of dead In both
cities up to twenty-one persons.
The storm made Its appearance from the
southwest, In the neighborhood of Lam
pasas, Mexico, seventy-two miles from
this city, and It Is reported that great
havoc was wrought In that locality, al
though It Is not thought that any loss of
life resulted. -
Many Buildings Destroyed.
When the storm struck the city, the huts
occupied by the poorer classes were the
first to be leveled to the ground, but as
the wind increased In force the more sub
stantially constructed buildings were un
roofed and in many cases were ' demol
ished. The lightning flashed vividly and con
tinuously, adding to the fears of the peo
ple. The storm lasted about one hour.
The Mexican National has temporarily
abandoned ' Its trains on account of lack
of telegraph wires over which to arrange
meeting points. Physicians are busy at
tending the injured, and It Is thought no
more deaths wIUl result. Dr. H. Hamilton
of the' United UaJQFgs Marine service ha a
placed 160 tentsvltn bedding, etc., at the
disposal of the homeless.
Governor Lanham has received a com
munication from Mayor Sanche. of Laredo
asking for aid. In response to this re
quest. Governor Lanham Issued a general
appeal for help, expressing the wish that
Texans In general would be liberal and
prompt In their help.

Indefinite at this time what aid they may
receive.
The most serious phase of the trouble to
day, was the agreselveness of the packers
and Ice dealers, who have decided that they
will stand with the members of the Employ
ers' association and demand that their
teamsters make deliveries where the firm
employing them deslreaj such deliveries to
be made. It waa decided by the packers
and Ice dealers that they would issue or
ders for deliveries to boycotted firms and
that if any teamster declined to make them
he Is to be instantly discharged. Thle
means a lockout, for the men have al
ready declared that they will not make
such deliveries. Two thousand, three hun
dred men will be Involved when this action
Is taken by the packers and Ice dealera.
The wholesale grocers also decided this
afternoon that they would demand of their
men that gpods be delivered to boycotted
firms and a prompt dismissal of every
teamster refusing to compiy with this order.
This will add 800 more to the number of
men now on strike.
May Cot Off Gae Supply.
The men employed by the Hartwell Coal
company went nut this afternoon. This
concern delivers all of the coal to the Peo
ple's Light and Coke company, which sup
plies the city with gas, and if the coal pup
ply of the concern is allowed to run out
serious consequences may follow.

within a short period.
May Ask President to Aid.
There Is a strong sentiment among the
labor men to ask President Roosevelt to in
terfere In the strike when he arrives here
on hie return from his present vacation.
He Is scheduled to arrive here on May 10
and he will be asked to end the strike, as
In the case of the anthracite miners. A
resolution to this effect will be Introduced
at the Meeting of the Chicago Federation
of Labor tomorrow.
John Mitchell, president of the United
Mine Workers, arrived In this city today
and held a conference with a number of
the strike leaders. He Is expected to at
tend the meeting tomorrow of the Federa
tion of Labor of Chicago.
The fighting In the street today was
the most vicious since the commencement
of the strike. Three persons were shot,
two were stabbed, and fully a score suf
fered bruises and broken heads. It Is not
expected that any of the Injured will die.
Peter Klausen, the proprietor of a gro
cery, died this afternoon aa the result of
Injuries received when he was attacked
by a crowd of strikers In front t the
store of Ward A Co. Wednesday he made
a delivery of goods at the store and was
beaten and kicked In the face. One kick
fractured the frontal bone of his skull
and death resulted this afternoon.
In nearly every portion of the business
district today there were numerous hand-to-hand
encounters between union and
nonunion men. The latter were aided In
many places by the police, under whose
protection they were. Up to this evening,
however, no report had been made to
Judge Kohlsaat In the United States clr
sult court of any Interference with the
teams or drivers of the Employers' Team
ing association.
New Move for Peace.
An energetic arpeal to the employers and
unions Involved will be made tomorrow by
a committee of citizens appointed by Mayor
Dunne this evening. This committee will
consist of Dr. Emll O. Hlrsch, Rev. Jen
kin Lloyd Jones, Dr. Cornelia De Rey, Rev.
Charles P. Anderson and Miss Jane Ad
dams. The committee will meet In the
mayor's office at 2 o'clock tomorrow after
noon and hopes to arrange a conference
with labor leaders at that hour. At 3:30
the committee will meet the executive
committee of the Chlcngo Employers' asso
ciation and every effort will be made
to bring, the two factions together. The
first object to be sought will be an armis
tice of forty-eight hours In which the
employers will be asked to hire no more
nonunion men and the unions will be axked
to cease all demonstrations and suspend tho
strike. During this Interval the committee
expects to arrange the settlement of the
strike. After evolving thle plan Miss Ad
dams, Its originator, laid It before Mayor
Dunne, who gave it his approval. Miss
Addnms then communicated by telephone
with the labor leaders and with the Em
ployers' association. Attorney Levy Mayer
for the latter organization responded to
the message from Mlse Addams and threw
cold water on the project by declaring
emphatically that the employers were
not seeking peace with the Teamsters'
union and proposed to continue the fight
until they "were left undisturbed by labor
agitators and are allowed to run their
business without Interference." Notwith
standing this rebuff, the committee decided
to continue Its work, but the results that
will accrue are not expected to be lm
sortant. Btsnxe Delivery Stops.
During the latter part of the afternoon
the strike spread to the city transfer sys
tem and not a trunk was hauled for any of
the downtown hotels by the Scott Trans
fer company. The Parmelee company de
livered baggage to tile hotels In esses
where checks had been Issued on incoming
trains, but touched no outgoing baggage.
Where the trunks were not too heavy
people leaving the city were compelled
to have them transferred on the tops of
cabe, but If weight was a consideration
they were compelled to leave them behind.
A detachment of the United States army
appeared on the scene of the strike during
the day In the persons of Sergeant W. F.
Wilson and Private John McNamara, who
are In charge of two double mule teams
which are to be used when the express
companies declare that they are not able
to mdve specie from the depots with safety.
No call was made for the use of the

Statement by Employers.
The Employers' association tonight Issued
a formal statement of the issue at stake,
as seen from the standpoint of Its mem
bers. The statement declares that between
the teamster's union and the employers a
contract forbidding sympathetic strikes
existed and that It has been violated by
the union. The statement continues:
The teamsters have no complaint and
have made none with reference to hours
or conditions of any kind. They have, how
ever, declared that no concern in the busi
ness Interests In this city shall make de
liveries to or from certain merrhants they
boycott and upon this a strike has been
declared. They have gone to the extent
or declaring tnat tney win starve tne
horses belonging to anyone who may come
under the ban. of the union. The members
of the employers' association resolutely de
cline to take or receive orders from the
teamstei-s or their unions, dictating with
whom business may or may not be done.
The fact that the employers of this city
have refused to permit their business to be
Interrupted or dPHtroyed by the tenmotcrs
has been made a pretext for their throwing
the city Into a state of alarm and mob vio
lence. The employers sre entitled to and are re
reiving, and believe they will continue to
receive, protection of their rights by the
mavor of Chicago and by the police force
at hi command. If necessary the employ
ers will Invoke the sddltlorVal protection of
the county, state and federal governments
to maintain their rights so as to end the
prevailing reign of terror, the unjust end
unreasonable sympathetic strike, the closed
ehop, the boycott and the coercion of men
to violate their contracts, break the laws
snd undermine the whole basis of American
liberty.
Shea Issues aa Appeal.
The following proclamation was Issued to
the union teamsters tonight by President
Shea and was posted In various lodges and
conspicuous places:
To all union teamsters: The Employers'
association is arming the strikebreakers
and guards Imported into Chicago and
counseling these men to commit violation
of the peace and Incite riot and disorder
In every conceivable manner. In an en
deavor to discourage our members they
have started to use these tactics, as they
have found It impossible to secure sny
competent men to fill the places of our
teamsters. By preserving law and order
and conducting ourselves as lawahldlng
citizens of this city we shall further our
own ends and victory for our cause is
assured.
ftefrntn from any act which will be a
violation of the law or can be construed a
violation of either Injunction Issued.
