Judge Troup of the district court will hear the case Friday morning at 9;M. Connell in his petition attacks the legality j of recount being made by a county tan- : vassiug board. He avers the law does not provide for such a recount, thus bringing Into court a question which has been fore most since recounts ftrnt came Into style. Thia point rnust be decided by the court to determine whether tha recount snan go en or whether It must be turned Into a con test and taken Into court. Kra.TIt J. Flxa, democratic candidate for county commissioner for the Second dis trict, had asked and been granted a re count on the race between himself and Con nail. Conneir said In his petition that the official canvass of votes by tha county can vassing board completed Saturday had given him the nomination by five votes. He alleged that his right to tha nomination had thus been definitely determined and that said right would be Jeopardised by a recount. Connell Was Losing Out. Befora the' first canvass commenced, when it waa known that the count would show little difreronce between Fixa and Connell, It was announced by them that they hal agreed to stand by the first count and that neither would ask a recount. The first preclr.ct of the, First' ward waa "recounted", before the Injunction waa served. The only change It showed waa a loss of two votes by Connell. aadly dimin ishing his already small majority over his enemy. Flxa. , .

RAILROAD MAY TRY NEW TACK . . esssnssssiaa Defense to Seek to Compel Shippers to Show Profit. ROCK ISLAND HEARING NOW UP Melcher Tells of Increased Expenses In Recent Years. INCREASED WAGES "BIG ITEM Second Vlre-lreldent Sara System Docs Not Get More Kfflclent Labor Br Reason of Higher Pay Check. i CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-Colncldent with the eloping of the testimony for the Santa Fe System before the special examiners for. the Interstate Commerce commission, and the statement from the road's statistician that the Increases In freight rates asked would net the Santa Fe only 394,000 In. crease yearly In earnings, there came to day a suggestion that the railroads now on the defensive might change their tactics and seek to compel the shippers, who op pone the advance in freight; rates, to de clare how much they profit on the differ ent commodities under consideration. A request from Attorney F. J. Norton, counsel for the Santa Fe, for the names of the different associations of shippers represented at the hearing, that he might question certain of the shippers, gave color to rports that shippers . would be asked about their profits. One prominent rail road man declared that Inasmuch that the shippers had been protesting that the profits of the railroads were unreasonable the railroads might well ask the shippers what their profits are on the commodi ties affected by the proposed Increase In freight rates, so that the commission may know whether they are or are not ser iously disturbed by the Increase which they are fighting. While no definite statement of such an Intent haa been made, it will not be unex pected that the railroads before the hear ing Is over, will aHk many questions of shippers concerning their profits and tin$ rate of return which they enjoy on their Invested capital. Hearlntt- Transferred to Rock Island. When the initial presentation of the con tentions of the Santa Fe system was con cluded, the hearing was transferred to the Uock Island roads. P. O. Melcher, second vice president of the Rock Island company told of the In creased expense of the road in late yeara, diV according to him,, to advances in the wag soote and. increased oc of operation. The first witness at the afternoon session was W. A. Poteet;-' chairman of tha Trans Mtssouri Freight Bureau. He presented In the form of a tabulation a compilation of the rates In efDect In the territory west of the Missouri river on freight shipped east or west, to or from common points in Colorado and points west of the Missouri or the Mississippi rivers. The tables showed both the clasa and commodity frelgtht rates, and included the years 1900 to 1910. Similar compilations covering live stock and grain shipment rates were also presented and entered as exhibits. Attorney John H. Atwood for the ship pers questioned Mr. Poteet, concerning the method In which the rates were raised and asked for the names of different represen tatlves of the railroads, who were present when the order changing the freight rates was decided on. There was some opposi tlon to the Inquiry and Attorney Atwood declared that the examiners were not em powered to exclud testimony. The question was answered and Mr. At wood then asked If the railroad represen tatives on that occasion discussed or con sidered an Injunction issued by the Federal supreme court lh 1897, prohibiting any agreement In rates to be charged by trans Mlssourl roods. After much sparring, by counsels and an Impassioned address by the attorney for the shippers, the witness answered that the Injunction waa not dis cussed or considered. Examiner Brown de. clared that the question was immaterial and had nothing to do with the case. Melcher Questioned It. Vice President F. G. Melcher of the Rock Island company was questioned by Attor ney W. 8. Dickenson, attorney for the road He offered In evidence a table showing that Increased wages ptld In the operating department of the road amounted In 1906 and 1907 to 3528,000; In 1907 and 1908 to 31. .314, 000; In 1908 and 1909 to $1,314,000; In 1909 and 1910 to 31,451,000; and In 1910 and 1911 the es tlmated Increase would total 32.465,000 and In 1911 tnd 1913 the estimated Increase would be 32,612,000. Mr. Melcher said that in hla opinion the road does not get more efficient labor by reason of the Increased wages. Some of the Increases, he said, were tbe result of threatened strikes which were settled and aome were granted after arbitration. "The argument advanced by the employes In 1906 fo run Increase," he said, "were that the roads were prosperous and the men wanted a 'chunk' of the prosperity. In the latter pleas for advanced wages the men argued that the cost of living had In creased and for that reason demanded more money." He chose for his text one Sunday that .passage "the devil as a roaring Hon walks i about seeking w hom he may devour. j -First we want to know," said the . preacher, "who the devil he was; second, 'where the devil he was going, and third! what tha devil ha was roaring about" From tha Indianapolis News.

James Peabody, statistical of the Santa Fe system, belittled the efect of the proposed freight rate ad vance, when he took the witness stand In the Interstate Commerce commission hear ing today.
