RATE RULINGS HIT ROAD HARD Burlington Official on the Stand at Chicago. MORE REVENUE NEEDED Vice Président of Company Says Line Is Not in as Good Condition as Re- gards Surplus as It Was Ten Years Ago and Insists That Increased Rev- enue Is Necessary to Meet De mands for Wages and Maintenance. Chicago, Nov. 1.—Rate decisions at Denver, Sp-kane and other Wesfern points will cost the Chicago, Burling: ton and Quincy $800,000 a year. The old rebating system reduced the freight reveuue of the Burlington from { 8 to 5 per cent The Burlirgton is not in as good a condition to accumulate a surplus now as it was ten years ago. These were among the statements made at the rate hearing by Claude G. Burnham, vice president of the Burlingtcn, who was the iirst witness Attorney T. J. Norton, who repre sents the rzilways as a whole at the hearing, said that he had only onc more witness to introduce. On the subject of Western rate decizions My Burnham sa! “The d ions have not been or dered into effect as yet, but unle they are materially modified they will, conservatively estimated, cause the Burlington a loss of $800,000 an- nually.” Atterney Dawes of the Burlington asked what effect on revenues rebat- ing had east of tae Missouri and be- fere ti:e law made the practice illegal. “Rebates were given almost exclu- sively on high class freight,” repliec tkhe witness. “The result was a rate that was much lower than was fair to the 1 ads. But at no time did rebates cavee more than a 3 to 5 per cent decrease in the revenue of the Burlington.” Need for Increased Revenve. “You have micationed,” said Attor ney Lycn of the comam n, “that the proposed increaszes would give the Burlington road about $430.900. For what purpose do yeu want that money ?” “The Burlingtcn needs $490,000 and more {o maintain the efficicney of the property as a transpertation ma- chine.” “Do you regard the Burlington as an efficient transportation machine at present?” pursued Mr. Lyon. “As compared with other yes.” When Mr. Lyen inguired if witness considered the Burlington to be i a worse financial condition than it was in 1900 the latter hesitated and then answered slowly: “It is.not in as good a condition to accumulate a surpius.” Mr. Lyon made a comparison of the dividends paid in 1970 and 1910 and roads.

Litchfield, Minn.,, Nov. 1.—Charles Shiep and Stanley Wells, two young men of this place, were drowned in Lake Washington while hunting ducks. The men had been missing two days and the body of Wells was found in the lake near the overturned boat, standing upright in the mud with the head but a few inches below the sur- face of the water. Searching parties are scouring the lake for the body of Shiep. Money in Wire System. \ ‘Washington, Nov. 1.—Sweden’s gov- ernment owned telegraph and tele- phone systems metted the country $192,000 during 1909, according to United States Consul General E. D.

The Duke of Cambridge was once about to visit Lord Stratford, who had been appointed ambassador to Turkey. At an early hour on the morning of his expected arrival the ambassador went, in slippers and dressing gown, to see if the rooms were In perfect or- der. He found that the duke’s valet had arrived and was arranging his master’s trunks and portmanteaus. Btratford gave some directions how they should be placed. The man left off working and stared at the intruder. “I tell you what it is,” he sald. “1 know how his royal highness likes to have his things arranged better than you do. So you just be off, will you, old fellow?” Lord Stratford left in a towering passion. Calling one of his attaches, he ordered him to go in and tell the man whom be had addressed in such language. The attache returned with twinkling eyes. “What did you say?" asked the am- '} bassador. “I said to him, my lord, that the per- son he had ventured to address such language to was her majesty's tepre- sentative to Turkey.” “Ah, quite right And his answer?" “He answered, my lord, that he never sald you wasn't.”—“With Lord Stratford In the Crimean War.” Wise Men of Gotham. A “wise man of Gotham” is a fool, but the phrase arose through the real wisdom of the people that lived in the English town of Gotham. The story goes that King John of England once’ visited the town with the intention of seeing a castle that he thought of tak- ing for himself. But the Gothamites did not care for the nearness of roy- alty and the expense they would be put to if the king should have a house there, and s they cooked up a scheme to drive ‘him away. When the king ar- rived with his company of followers and rode through the town he saw all the inhabitants of Gotham going through the most foolish of tasks, each person with a silly smile on his face. The king was disgusted with them. He would not live among crazy people, and so he rode on through the town and did not stop for the castle. Then the wise men of Gotham, still smiling. but not in a silly fashion, told one an- other that there were more fools that passed through Gotham than remain in it ——er— Not What He Ssemed. Lieutenant General -J. M. Grierson tells an amusing story of some maneu- vers in which he took part. Only a small body of troops were being ac- tually employed. and “skeleton forces" were the rule—in other words, small bodies of men represented whole divi- sions. General Grierson with his staff was riding along a lane when he sud- denly came upon one of the ememy’s plckets sitting calmly by the roadside. Quickly the general rode up to him and said: “You are my prisoner; you had better surrender.” The man grinned and pointed to a flag beside him. “Beg pardon, sir,” he said, “but I am a brigade of infantry, so you are all my prisoners.”—London Malil. Religious persecution as such was unknown under the Romans. The Christians were regarded as seditious In denying the divinity of the Cae- sars and the Roman gods they were guilty of high treason In Roman eyes and were accordingly punished. But their punishment had no religious sig- nificance whatever. The Christians were persecuted not because they were Christians, but because, in the opinion of the ‘authorities, they were disturb- ers of the peace and safety of the state. Religlous persecution was a thought that never entered the Roman mind.—New York American. The Maid’s Reply. As Willlam beut over her fair face he whispered: 7 “Darling. If 1 should ask you in French if 1 might kiss you what would you answer?" She, calling up her scanty knowledge Hart Schaffner& Marxclothes of the French language, exclaimed, “Blllet doux!"—Exchange, ADDS MILLIONS T0 REVENUES| Result of Raid on Firms of New York Importers. COLLECTOR LOEB IS BUSY Great Rush to Get Aboard the Immun. ity Wagon Apparent Among Con- cerns Who Have Been Undervaluing Their Imports—Many Confess tc Wrongdoing, Promise Restitution and Offer Pledges to Be Good. New York, Nov. 1.—Ten million dol lars is a fair estimate of the amouni that the federal revenues are likely tc be increased by the panic that has seized the big importing firms of this city since the government officials made their raid on one of the largest and wealthiest of the art importing establishments of Fifth avenue and arrested prominent members of the firm. For a long time the authorities have been certain that vast frauds have been. practiced upon the customs by the undervaluation of imported mer chandise and that some of the im porters with the largest businesses and the most respectable reputations were implicated in these frauds. For several months past rumors have been flying about the wholesale district of the city that the government was collecting evidence both here and abroad against a number of firms. This has led to great uneasiness among importing firms who were will: ing to profit by this form of graft as long as theré seemed little danger of detection, but who would rather sacri fice millions than to have their busi ness standing smirched by exposure The policy of the federal authorities in giving liberal rewards to informers has increased this uneasiness since it was practically impossible to carry on these frauds without the knowledge of certain employes, and a clerk wha knew that a fortune of $50,000 or $100; 000 might be his for a mere tip to the federal officials naturally would be tempted to grasp such a rich prize. ‘When the spectacular blow of the Fifth avenue raid fell the question “Who next?” naturally presented it self to the importers with guilty con sciences and threw them into a blue funk. The result has been a grand rush ta get aboard the immunity wagon and Collector Loeb has been kept busy for the past ten days listening to con fessions, promises of restitution and pledges to be good. The interviews have been carefully guarded but some of the facts have leaked out. Some of these offers may be ac cepted, but the present disposition of the government authorities is to make “horrible examples”of a few more big firms for the moral effect it will be likely to have. TO RETIRE IN JANUARY Admiral Schroeder Will Be Succeeded by Osterhaus. New York, Nov. 1.—The departure from New York on Wednesday of the battleship Connecticut, flagship of the Atlantic fieet, will mark the beginning of the last cruise of Rear Admiral Sea ton Schroeder as commanderin-chiet of the fleet. Schroeder has been a flag officer for five years and its, ecommand- erdin-chief since the returm from the famous” round the world cruise twa years ago. He will tramsfer the com- mand upon the return of the Connecti- cut, early in January. ‘While no official word has heen. forthcoming as to who will be the next commander-n-chief the Impres sion is general that it will be Rear Ad- miral Hugo Osterhaus. He was’ Ad- miral Robley D. Evans’ chief of staff on the voyage around the world. DUKE OF CONNAUGHT ON HAND King George’s Nephew Will Open First South African Parliament. .Cape Town, Nov. 1.—As the repre sentative of King George, his nephew, the Duke of Connaught, arrived here aboard the Balmoral Castle to open the first parliament of the Union of South Africa. The duke was accompanied by the Duchess of Connatught and Princess Patricia, their daughter. Safe Foils Bank Robbers, Canal Dover, O., Nov. 1—Burgla's broke into the State bank at Boliver and attempted to blow the safe, con- taining $28,000. ' They failed apparent- 1y because they. found their stock of nitroglycerin exhausted, when, after tearing off three doors of the safe, they discovered another barring their way. They fled, leaving the interior of the bank a wreck. Three Dead in Auto Wreck. San Francisco, Nov. 1.—Three men were killed and two badly injured when an automobile in. which they were riding plunged into a ditch and turned over near this city. Charles Kline, Jack Mahoney and Peter Pa- 2heo, all residents of a suburban town, were dead when picked up a few mia- utes after the accident by the occu- | pants of another car. Settling the Barber. f “Hair's a bit thin on the top, sir” remarked the barber. *“Won't you try & bottle of our hair restorer?" The victim squirmed. *You made the same observation last week.” he said, “and I expressed my desire to ¥ee you try tlé stuff on the doormat.™ “Sorry;: | didn’t know you had been here before, sir.!" replied the barber as he went on shaying. “1 didn't recog- nize your face.” 3 No." was the growling reply; “my has healed since then.”—London Why the Wind Wiits. 1n his book on “The Picturesqtie Bt. Lawrence” Clifton Jolnson tells of the curious superstition of Montreal which explains why the wind is al- ways blowing at the point where St. Sulpice and Notre Dulue streets meet, close by the towering cathedral. It seems that one day. while the church was in process of building, the Wind and the Devil were walking down Notre. Dame street. and the Devil after regarding with a frown of disapproval the graceful outlines of the new edifice rising before him ex- claimed: “What is this? fore.” “Very likely not.” vesponded the ‘Wind. “and I dare you to go in there.” “You dare me to do that, do you?" cried the Devil, with a sneer. “Well. | I will go in if you will promise to wait here until I come out” “Agreed,” suid the Wind. So his satanic majesty went'in. But he has not come out yet, and the Wind is still waiting for him at the corner. 1 pever saw It be- The Spirit of Liberty. It was in the town that modern de- mocracy had its rise. Despite all the efforts of the kings and barons to pre- vent it, the spirit of liberty began to assert itself in the larger towns in the shape of the charters which guarantee to the people certain commercial and political rights—rights which. once ob- tained, were never (o be surrendered. Before the middle of the eleventh cen- tury there were many of these “char- tered” towns which possessed the right of electing their own magis- trates, sheriffs and judges and regulat- ing their own taxes. The wretched serfs from the country were welcomed by the townspeople and aided to larger freedom. These free towns were first known in Spain, from which country they slowly spread over Europe. The burgesses naturally offered protection and freedom to all who would flee to them from the feudal estates, and thus slowly, but surely. the good work went on_ until the ancient despotisms were destroyed.—Arena. Reptiles That Walk Erect. ! Lizards of several sorts can walk and run easily on their hind legs. The Australian water lizard. which is'three or four feet in length, keeps quite erect when traversing long distances on land. It is found in the neighbor- hood of river banks and passes muck of its time in shallow water. The frilled lizard of Queensiand also travels on its hind legson level ground, keeping the frill folded when running. When attacked it expands this fold of skin, which stands out like a ruff at right angles round the neck, giving it a most formidable aspect, so that dogs that attack and kill larger Fzards will | often retreat before a frilled lizard at bay. ; There is also a tree lizard in Austra- lia that moves i a similar way. All these species walk on all fours when merely moving: about or :goiug short distances. Suspense. *“There-isn't any suspense about your' play,” said the technical.ritic. “That shows how you jump at con- clusions,” veplied the author. *“You Just ought to see e waiting for royal- tles.”—Exchange. . Tha Bride's Troubles. It was the, servant’s day out, and the young bride was doing her best to hurry along the dinner she was trying to cook. The husband, tired of wait- ing, bustled into the kitchen and said {mpatiently: *“You know, we'll be late for the the- ater if you don't hurry dinner.” “Well,” sighed the bride, “I can't tell what's the matter, but these cof- fee grains simply won't boil soft, and as for the eggs, they've been bolling at least two hours. and they’re still as hard as ever.” But the dinner was concluded at last, and then the young husband de- clared he couldn't find his silk bhat. “Oh,” exclaimed his wife, “you said it needed ironiug. you know. so I sent it this morning to the laundry with the wash.” Wounds of the Heart. In wounds of the heart itself the es- cape of blood is never in large quanti- ty, and the lethal consequences are due to the fact that the escape of blood from within its cavity or cavities into the surrounding sac of the peri- cardium mechanically interrupts the alternate contraction and expansion by ‘which its pumping action is maintain- ed. Accordingly the results of the wound of the heart are usually identi- cal with those of gradual suffocation. Cutting, A Scotch lawyer was well reproved when, seated by a lady fully aware of her own plain looks, having bowed to his hostess in giving the toast, “Hon- est Men and Bonnie Lasses,” she re- Joined, raising her own glass, “We may both drink that toast, since it re- Ters to neither of us.” Belle—But do you think you and he are suited to each other?
