VICE PRESIDENT WELBORN ON STAND Witness Endeavored to Explain car Shortage to Commissioner Clarke —Cempaany two Months Behind om Orders—Knew ef no Discrim- imation by the Railroads, Denver, Col, Dec. 5.—Interstate Comemrce Commissioner E. BE. Clarke took evidence in Denver Tuesday in the investigation which he is conduct- ing under the Tillman-Gillespie reso- lution to ascertain whether certain corporations of Colorado and Utah enjoy privileged rates from the rall- roads and whether there are inexis- tence {n these two states combinations in restraint of trade based on system- atic rate discrimination. High offt- cials of the Denver & Rio Grande rail- road, the Colorado Fuel & Iron com- pany and the American Smelting & Refining company have been sum- moned to give testimeny at the hear ing in this city whieh will continue two days, J. F. Welborn, vice president of the Colorado Fuel & Iron company, was called upon to name the mines owned and operated by that company and was then examined in regard to the connection of the fuel company with the Colorado & Wyoming railroad, He denied a community of interests: be- tween the two companies, but on be- ing questioned acknowledged that over 95 per cent of the freight on the ralroad was handled for the Colorado Fuel & lron company. The witness sald there had been a shortage of cars for some time and said nearly atl the mines had been closed at dif- ferent periods owing to the shortage. He said there had been a general ur- gent demand for coal this winter and that on many orders” the company were two months or more behind. Asked about the alleged discrimina- tion of railroads in regard to cars the witness said he knew of no discrim- ination either in favor or against the company, iP Mr. Wellborn said that the rail roads made no discriminatory rates in favor of the company in {ts inter state business, and the only « state discriminatory rates were those which were brought out in the examination at Pueblo Monday. In answer to a question by counsel he said that the Colorado Fuel & Iron company die nothing for the Denver & Rio Grande railroad in return for the low rate. He said that it was necessary for the Colorado Fucl & Iron company to have the low rate in order to do bust- ness in’ Puebty at a profit. He did not know that the fact that othe manufacturers could not get the same low rates was the reason that Pueblo had not become a great manufactur- ing city, At the completion of Mr. Welborn’s testimony Commissioner Clarke said: Well, Mr. Wellborn, your tesiimony in regard to tke shortag solves itself into this: You have more orders for coa] than, you can produce and you can produce more than you can get cars to carry?” “Yes, sir,” replied the witness, Diphtheria Prevalent in Kansas, Topeka, Dec. 5—There is an epi- demic of diptheria in several parts of the state, according to the reports Hawarden. Yet he was “by no means @ rabid book-buyer.” For rare books, first editions and elaborate bindings he had no special passion, though he was glad enough to get them. “Sec ond-hand catalogues” rained in by every post, and were always carefully scanned and marked for immediate purchase.” Mr. Gladstone's tastes ran strongly to religion, theology, and such kindred topics as history and Philosophy. He was, in fact, some times, accused of being more theo- logian than statesman. Whenever he saw a book on witchcraft, strange re- ligious sects and the ethics of mar riage, he invariably bought it; but, as everyone is aware, he was an omniv- orous reader; he enjoyed Shakespeare and Scott, and he liked to run over the last new novel. English vs. American Railways. The upshot of a comparison between English and American railways is that each country has provided itself with the system that, broadly considered, answers its own needs the best, and that, when all circumstances are taken into account, neither has much to learn from the other. Certain great defects stand out in each; English railway financing and American rail- way carelessness are both deserving of censure. Yet these defects, says Ray Morris, in Atlantic Monthly, quite explainable in their outgrowth from the physical conditions at hand, and they are not amenable to any off- hand remedy. Likewise, certain points of especial attractiveness, such as the English baggage system and the punctuality of trains, and the Amer- ican luxury of through travel, have arisen from a complicated set of local circumstances, and could not be trans- planted unless all the circumstances were transplanted as well. Most forci+ ble of all is the impression gained by such a study that the essential belief, the very creed and doctrine of one country, as regards the ecenomics of its railway working, may not be so much as discussed in another, where the same ultimate problem is gotten at in a wholly different way. It is not everyone who, when his sanity is challenged, can produce the documents to prove his mental equi- librium. Harper's Weekly tells the story: An Ohio politician enjoys telling of a political discussion he once overheard in a country grocery store. In some way the argument, quite a heated one, degenerated into a dispute in which one side took the position that the others were crazy to entertain such political tenets as Bring in your Pictures and have them Framed for Christmas, We are show- ing a large and handsome line of Frames and Mould- ings, A.
