STRANGE LETTER PICKED UP

Two men were observed stand'ng st the

at 1 p. m. One of them at least, was writ

years of agei and well dressed. After com
pleting his letter, he addressed an envelooo.
Incautiously placed the addressed Envelope
In his pocket, accidentally dropping the let
ter that he had- written. He went out

standing by him Incidentally picked up the
dropped letter and calling to Watchman
Morse, then In the corridor, handed him the
letter, telling him It had been dropped by
the man who had Just gone out. A moment
later the strsnger hurriedly entered. In sp

Morse started after him to return th
letter to him, but the man had dlsappeired
In the crowd and Morse could not see him.
Mr. Morse had not read the letter up to
this time, but after glancing through It
took It to Postmaster Palmer. The letter,
which Is still In the postmaster's possession,
reads:

this In the mall. Bvt you can rad between

And be careful what you ssy. Everything
Is now In shane to act. Be firm. J .
Postmaster Palmer said In reference to the
letter: "I am at a loss to know whether
It Is a fake or a genuine threat. In any
event, we shall look Into It thoroughly.'
I oumciem importance nas Deen attached
to the Incident of the mysterious letter
found In the postofflce Sunday nf;ernoon to
call for the closest InvestliraM'n bv a num
ber of the best postofflce Inspectors In this
district. It Is also probable that the mat -will
be turned over to the secret service
department of the government, as It does
not come exactly within the province of
the postofflce Inspection department. A
pretty fair description of the writer of the
letter has been obtained by the secret
service authorities from the party who
S first recovered the latter.
A disposition prevailed when th letter
was first found to treat the matter as a
Joke or fake, but later developments wat
I rant the belief that It Is the work of an
I anarchist or crank and It is to be ferreted
to the bottom.
TECHNICALITY THE DEFENSE
Lawyers for Ch-rles I'nmphrey At
tack Jury List aa Basis of
Their Fight.
At the opening of the trial of Charles
Pumphrey, charged with the murder of
i Han-pak, Monday mottling, John O. Yelser
(and J. P.' Breen. atteJftt'ey for Pumphrey.
' made a general attack' on the Jury list for
1S07. which, if sustained, they assert, will
Invalidate all the Jury. Verdict since the
beginning of the Februar- term of court.
They filed a plea In abatement and a mo
tion to quash the Jury panel now serving,
! on the grovnd that tbe list from which
It and all the other Jurypane'i since Feb
ruary have been drawn was not made up
according to law.
The objection to the. Jury list Is that It
Is not made up from the various precincts
In proportion to the number of votes cast
at the preceding election, but that some
wards' and precinct are d'scrlmlnated
against In favor or other. Pumphrey's
attorneys contend the law directs that the
commissioners In making tip the list shall
take not loss than' one-fifteenth of the
number of voters from'each precinct, and If
mora are taken, the proportion between tho
precincts shall be maintained.
They assert the Second commissioner dis
trict, consisting of theFlrt, Second. Thin'
t and Tenth wards, has been given less than
Its proportion of Jurors. According to the
figures presented In the motion the First
I commlss'onor d'strlct oast 6 047 votes at the
November (190) election, and had 642 names
on the Jury list, or 10.6 per cent of tho
per cent of the n'-mber of voters This Is
not only less than the proportion, accord
ing to the attorneys, but It Is less than
vote. The Second district cast 4.627 votes
j and had 2M names on the Jury list, or 6.6
i one-fifteenth of the number of voters In
j the precincts.
The attorneys contend that this Invall
dates the Jury panel which reported foi
duty this morning, and they insist that
neither this psnel nor any other drawn
from the 1907 Jury list Is competent to try
a case, ah me juries a'nee r eoruary nav
been drawn from this list.
Arguments of the motion occupied all of
the morning session of court A number of
spectators were present to w'tness the trial,
among them waa Tom Ah Bat a nephew
of the Ynurdered Chinaman.

SEER FAIR FREIGHT RATES
Missouri Riter Cities Unite Against
Discrimination by Railroads. j
JOHN L WFJJSTER TALKS 0T PLAN 3
Says Theories of Twenty-Five Year
Will fie fombatted In Behalf of
Omaha, at. Joe and Kan
sas City.
"We are going to take no half measures
at Kansas City Novomrr 21. when the
suit of the wholesale Jobbers of Omaha, St.
Joseph and Kansas City, known as the
Missouri river rate case, comes on for hear
ing before Interstate Commerce Commis
sioners Prouty, Clark and Hat lan," sshl
John L Webster, who Is handling the caso
j before the commissioners for the Jobbing
Interests of the three cities. "We am
going to combat the theories which have
been accepted aa true for twenty-flve years
simply because .the railroads have said
they were true. On of these Is the In
sistence of the railroad companies that
cheap rates to St. Paul and Minneapolis
were due to water competition nnd the com
petition rf tie Canadian railroads. Inv stl a
tlon has disclosed the truth Is rates to St
Paul and Minneapolis have been made by
the American railroads through their traf
fic managers and that the Canadian Pa
cific and Soo lines hsve adjusted their
rates to conform to the rates on the Amer
ican railroads and have recognized the
rates on the American railroads as being
the standard and the talk of water compe
tition la but a pretense.
Saving; of Million Dollar.
"This suit Is one which Involve a esvlng
from teno.OOO to $1,000,000 a year to the Job-
v- (v,. ...i 1. h.
! bers of the tnree cltle" "nd PP " tne
must, important ana iar-reacnirg suit inn
haa ever come before the Interstate Coro-
merce commission. This suit was Instituted
because the railway companies by their
tariff sheets have for years been giving to
St Paul and Minneapolis on the north, and
to 'St. Louis on the south, an advantage
over Omaha, St. Joseph and Kansas City
of about 32 cents per 100 pounds on first
class merchandise, and a like ratio on
second, third, fourth and fifth class. Under
the present ates, a Jobbing house In St
Paul or Minneapolis, doing a business of
t5.CKO.000 a year, has a saving over a like
business house In Omaha, St. Joseph or
Kansas City of nearly $40,000.
"The tables from the present tariff sheets
show that St. Paul and Minneapolis have
a discriminating, advantage over a large
territory Immediately surrounding Omaha.
St. Joseph and Kansas City, and that St
Louis has a great advantage over Kansas
City In a large territory lying to the south
west of Kansas Cly. What these Jobbers
want Is that the rates shall be so read
justed, not that Omaha, 8t. Joseph and
Kansas City shall have an advantage, but
that they shall be put on an equality with
Minneapolis and 8t. Paul on the north and
St. Louts on the south.
Discrimination Against Omaha.
"We have lately discovered that the rail
roads, which had been refusing to gtvo
Omaha, St Joseph and Kansas City the
reduction of 32 cents per hundred pounds
on first class so aa to put these cities on
an equality with St Paul and Minneapolis,
have, as a matter of fact, for at least two
years, been- carrying height from Chicago
through Omaha, St. Joseph and Kansas
City on 'the same rates that freight haa
been carried to St. Paul and Minneapolis,
but have been discriminating against
Omaha," Bt Joseph, and Kansas City in this
that the St Paul and Minneapolis Jobber is
entitled to receive his goods at the low rate
and then reship through the whole north
west territory by adding thereto the local
rates west from St. Paul and Minneapolis.
This privilege has been denied to Omaha,
St Joseph and Kansas City. The low
rate through Omaha, St. Joseph and Kan-
bus City has only been given to the shipper
from New York City, who routes his good
through Chicago, Omaha, Bt Joseph or
Kansas City, but makes the folnt of
destination Montana, Washington, and
northwestern territory generally.
Plea of the Railroad.
The allroads, in Justification of thl dis
crimination. Insist that if they should
reduce the rates to the basis of Bt. Paul
and Minneapolis on freight to Oms ha, St.
Joseph and Kansaa City and permit of
reconslgnment on the low rate, that it
would result In reducing the through rates
to western point generally and would,
therefore, be a disadvantage to the Omaha,
Bt. Joseph and Kansas City Jobber. There
1 no truth In this pretense, for the fact
Is that the said railway comi antes do
today carry thetr merchandise to all these
northwestern points at the reduced rates,
whereby the New York Jobber can ship
goods through Omaha, St. Joseph and
Kansas City In competition with the
Omaha, St. Joseph and Kansaa City In
competition with the Omaha, St Joseph
and Kansaa City 'Jobbers destined to all the
northwestern slates as far as th Paclflo
coast, and have n advantage over Omaha,
St Joseph and Kansas City of 32 cents per
hundred pounds on first class goods. The
result Is that the present railroad rate are
. a discrimination against Omaha, Bt Joseph
. and Kansas City, not only In favor ot, St
Paul and Minneapolis, but In favor of the
New York Jobbers, and we are only asking
equality, not favoritism.
What Other Point Get.
"The railroad tariff sheet also disclose
that goods are ahlpped from New York to
Mississippi river point from Dubuque on
the north to East St Louis on th south,
at a rate of 87 cents per hundred pounds,
first clasa, and of which rate the railroads
from New York to Chicago retain 72 cants
and a fraction. That means that freight
Is carried from Chicago to these Mississippi
river point for 14 cent and a fraction per
