THE CTHICAGO DAILY RIBUNI: MONDAY, SEPTEMBER %9, 1873. & DIGGING FOR INFORMATION. Saturday’s Session of Senator Windom’s Transportation. Committce. Facts and Figures Derived from the Canal Commissioners, The Railroad and Warehouse Comimissioners Ques- tioned. Soveral Railrond Officials Brought Bofore the Inquisition, - But They Do Not Confess Very: Much. No Extortion, No Discrimination, No Watered Stocl, Tho Sonnte Committco on Travsportation mot Saturdsy morning at the Pacific Hotel, and heard the statoment of tho Tilinofs Canal Com- missioners, of whom Mr. Joséph Utley, Obair~ man, Mr. H. G. Andereon, and Mr. W. N, Brain- ard, Socretary, were prosent. In answer to tho questions of the Committes, Mr. Utloy statod the authority of the Board, its duties, and the Inw undor which it acted, giving an account of the origin of theIllinois & Michigan Canal improvements, nnd a history of the work done. In 1831, lands were donated by the Goverument to o privato compauy to TMPROVE THE ILLINOIS RIVER, and to conneot it with Lake Michigan. Tho grant wns 6 milos. in width, on each side of tho canal, for overy altornato soction, sud the longth of the cannl was to be about 100 miles, but it Was finally stoppod at the “bench,” os it wang called, just boforo reaching the South Branch of the Chicago River. In 1837, tho pro- ject failed in the general crash, and, to gave thoee who had alroady invested 1n its bonds, many of whom wero English peoplo, an arrango- ment was mado by which the Epglish bond- holdets ndvanced 81,600,000, nnd tho manage- mont waa put in the lands of three Diroctora, wppointed by tho bondholders and by the Btate, who woro TO CONTROL THE CANAL tor theso bondbolders, guarantecing them cer- tnin things and giving them all the surplus rev- snues, after paying their working exponses. Tho original eannl was separated from the Chicago River by a “boneh,” and the canal waa partly supplied with wator by pumping worke at Bridgo- port. Tho Oltyof Chicago agreod to citt a chan- nel through this bonch eight foot deop, at a cost of $3,000,000, and, aftor fulfilling the conditions to the bondholders, the wholo revenucs were to go to Chicago to recomponse her for the ontlay. This change took place Moy, 1871, and the tolls and other revenuos DID KOT PAY TRE INTEREST EVEN on the $8,000,000. After the fire tho State as- sumed this indebtednoss of $3,000,000 to reliovo Chiengo, and took comploto ocharge of all canals and canal improvements in the State, In point of fact thera was but ono other, a short canal loss thon 80 miles in length, with one lock, on tho Little Wabash, which is simply for the local interior trade, The Illinois & Michigan Canal extends from the South Branch to tho Des- plaines River at Lockport, and thencoto the Illinois River at LaSalle. It is 97 miles long, 60 foot wide at top and 42 foet wido at bottom, and hasa dopth of 6 feot of water, The locks are 108 foot long, 18 feot wide, and will take boats of 160 tons burden. The lowor mitre sill at LoSalle is 145 foet below Lake Michigan, and thoro is no lack of wator whatever. The in- tontion was to connect the navigable waters of tho Missiesippi River and Luke Michigan, but thig cannot be satisfactorily accomplishod until tho Tltinols River ia improved. THE ESTIMATED COST of this improvoment, inoluding locks and dams, 18 £3,200,000, and £480,000 additional for dredg- ing. The distauco from LaSalle to Grafton, on the Miseiesippi River, is230 miles, and tho fall i 42 feot. Thers would be required five dams and locks. Tho Logislature has olready passed o law giving froe passago to United States troops and stores through the canal. It 18 proposed to enlarge the canal, in connection aleo with the Erie Canal, to a dopth of 10 feot, for the passago of gunboats, but, whilo desirable or. from o military point of view, it fs not necessmiy for commorce, snd would entail enormous oxponso, besides an increasod cost of keoping in repair. ‘The locks were mado 103 feet long to accommo- date gunbonts if necessary. THE PEOPLE DO NOT CARE for any onlargoment of this canal, but do wish the improvement of tho Illinois River and tho construction of the Honnepin & Rock Island Caval. Tho lattor would bo 64 miles long in tho main canal, with a fecdor 88 miles long, and Col. McComb, of the United Btatos Engineors, ontimates tho cost at £8,800,000, It would be 60 feot wido and 0 foot doop. By this improvo- mont all of the trade of Towa, Minnesots, and Western Illinois could be brought into diroot water communication with Chicago. Already tho lock at Henry ia cnmrlaw.l at a cost aof £400,000, and another {8 progrossing at Copperas Creek, to cost £430,000, Tho lgunry lock is 460 foot long, 60 feot wide and esven feut doep. It can pass twolve boats at once in thirteen minutes. TIE NAILROADS have been comrnllml to lower their rates when the canal came into competition with them. For {nstance, the Chicago, Rock Jeland & Paciflo Railroed Company has boon in the habit of charging from & to 6 cents por 100 miles on grain, while other roads not competing have charged 10 and 11 cents, ‘The smouut of tolls obtainod depends somewhat upon thestato of water in the Illinois River. They have, howaver, boen gradually increasing from ©48,000 in 1848 to £105,000 In 1872, 50 tho rates have beon decreasing. Taking corn na a basis, thoe rato was 8 mills por ton por mile until 1809, thon 7 mills, and now, under tho manage- mont of the Btato, it ia G milla, The net sur- plug, after poying all expensos, has also in- oronsod, Tho last yoar under the control of the bondholders (1869), it was 240,000, whilo last year, undor the management of the Commis- sloners, it was about $145,000. THE COHT OF REPATRS i now o littlo less, and the working exponses aro about the samo as thoso under the former managors, If it would pay to build steamers to run through the canal, on to Buffalo and Mon- troal, tho canal would pay a handsome profit ; ut it is now too short, “and, until the connec~ tion is made cortain and rogular with tho Missieaippi River, these steamors cannot be built to ndvantage, Until then, very little can bo drawn up the Llinols Rlver oxcopt at short poriods during high water, and it would not pay for stonmers to bo Idle nine-tontha of tho year. COL. COOF, Chairman of the Doard of Railroad and Waro- houso Commissioners, and thoother Commission- orf, wero next heard, and gave an account of the origin of the Board, its authority, and duties, It was now acting undor tho law_approved May 3, 1478, which provides that tho Board shall make o schodulo of rates for both passengors and froights on nll roads within the Btate. This sehedale ndt fix the maximum ratea for any road arbitrarily, but it wag slmply o schedulo which should ba takou a4 primn facio evidonco of a roasonable sharge, and anything in oxcess would bo held to bo oxtortionate, unless the railrond companics pould Ipmvn to tho naumrfl. It throw the bur- don of proof upon the railrond companies in- stond of npon the shippor, ‘Tho Board had been pontinuously employed in making these sohed- ulod; with somo trifling oxcoptions, what would wpply to one road would apply to all, and o have MADE THE BCNEDULE GENERAL, Jn making it, thoy had takou advantsee of all informntion within tholr roach, comparing wari- ous rates, both in and out of the Htate, and also taking Info neconnt tho earninga of the roads in the 8tato, Thoy had had boforo them mon woll vorsod in bullding and managing rallronds, and also loading shippors, Q.—Did you tako_into account the actual cost of moving froight? A.—Nothiug vory deflnito, excopt _what ia ombodled in the roports of tho railronds to tho old Bourd, Alltho rallroads have not yot mado their roports for this yonr, but $hoy aro now coming in rapidly. Theso roports show thnt an nvornizu of 65 por cont of gross oarninga are absorbed in the working and ropair- ing oxponses of tho companies, July, 1872 thero woro 6,268 milos of rond in oporation, and 1,687 miles in course of construction, of which throo-fifths has boon completed, glving fully 7,000 miles now in operntion. TIHE AVENAGE PER MILE. Q.—What was tho avorago oost por mile? A,° —242,204. Q.—How do the companios mako up that amount as tho cost 7 A.—By taking the total of tho common and preferred stock, and the bonded and flonting debt. Thoy claim £42,000 por milo 08 tho actual indobtodness of tho ronds, but the actunl amonnt put into thoir construction Los novor boon dotermined. Q.—What is the svorago percont of lpmflm ? A —Tho average gross earnings por milearo $8,108, not including dividends, and the net amount por e o kmo of f gotting at th .—Do you know of any way of getting at the nctual cosh cost of those mm{s ? A.—}g . We can nnl{ get an approximate iden. We have is~ siod blanks which they aro roquired to fill out, but thoy do not do so dofinitely, and givo various roasons. Q.—Whatisyouropinion, knowing thetopogra- phy of the country, cost of labor, matorial, and gonoral exponsos of conatruction ? A.—Wa think it a gront ovor-eatimato. Q.—What do you include in your estimato? A.—It is gonerally concodod in thia Biate that raflrond stook hne beon Inrgely watored, that stock has beon ssued which did ‘mot represont capital invested. COL. COOR FURTHER BAID ¢ * T am very suro it is an over-catirsnte, From my own knowladgo of tho construction of rail- roads, I should not think it would be over 8§22, 000 por mile. The Illinols Contral built a good donl for less than that, but thoro has been ballasting done since thon, which would not bo Includod in tho §22,000, Thoro has beon a good doal of the Tilinols Contral grading, ticing, and ironing done at n cost of not oyer 816,000, and I presumo that thore has boen somo done for oven foss. I do not think that it would avorago ovor $22,000 per mile.” Q.—Whnt ia your opinion of the manner in which the railroad companies haveadded on this $22,0007 A.—Woll, I did not iucludo ballaut, rollln%-ulnck, and ofhor things, but 1 would in~ clude in the $22,000 tho ordinary station build- ings. Tho details aro what we wish to get at, but that is a polnt which tho railrond wmanagers aro not auxious to lot us koow. EXTORTION AND DISCRIMINATION. Q.—What are the chiof causes of dissatisfac- tion among the peoplo of Illtnois ? A.~DBriefly, oxorbitant rates and unjust discrimination. The history of this Stato hns been that, as tho Stato was built up, the rates have incrensed, thus roversing tho usual ordor of businces. Railrond mon state frankly that, :n making up thoir torifls, thoy follow no systom, but try simply to make money where- evor thay can. horo thoro is competition” at any polnt, thoy never adhore to their publishod rates, but make privale con- tracts, and got the differonco out of places where there is no compotition, At thess competiug pointa they havo quite reasonabla rates, but thoy nocknowledgo that they never mnie any contraots that are not romunerative. Q.—What is your idea of tho averago cost of transpottation of grain per ton per mile? A—Wo think about 7 mills, The peoplo universnlly com- g]nin of rates for short distances, and no ono can lony that theso chargos aro excessive. Also, it is found somotimes that after tho first hundred miles thero would be a considorable diminution, but on the third hundred miles thero would bo & disproportionate increasge again, Now, the cost of running o train after the first hundred miles is regular, aud should not be subject to fuctun- tions. INTER-BTATE COMMEROE, Q.—Do you encounter difficulty in the inter- Btate commorco? A.—This question was eorly aslod, and we embadied our opinions in a circu- lar, Wo did not claim the right to establish a fixed rato outsido of the State, but wo enid that it should not be shipped from & point outside of tho Btato ton point within the State for less than tho charges from that polnt to the State no, Q.—Do the charters of tho railrond companios fix a maximum rato? A.—They haveno re- strictions, » Q.—What is the amount to which the stock has beon watored? A.—We cannotsay, Unloss the railroad companies can tell, no oue can, Q.—Havo you taken any steps to chango or rogulate the warehouse systom? A.—Yes ; thoy ore operating to soms extent under onr regula- tions, The law rogulates tho charges, Thay, lhowever, are cr{lng to Fnt tho samo for twonty dnys' stornge that the law allows for thirty, and e aro now trying to force thom to the ate al- lowed by law. MR, J, 2. WALKER, President of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Company, statod that ho had made careful study of the question, and had found that the produce of Illinocis was carriod from one-half to one-third cheapor in this State, lo- cally even, than in England, Franco, or Gor- many ; much cheaper than in New England and in tho Southern States; nnd the same condi- tions exist in the passengor trado, excopt in tho casoes of somo few trunk roads in the Iast, who have vurflugu travel. Q.~ t aro the polnts of complaint by tho pooplo? A.—Extortion is one, This is & quos- tion of fact which has nover boen much investi- gatod. Wa carry passongors at less per indi- vidual, and freight at less per ton, per mile, without rogard to distanco, than those in Europe and the Bast, Q.—Have you any knowledge of watering stock in Illinoisrailroads ? A.—No, sir, Iknow of none such. On tho whole capital invested {u railroads, tho not earnings have beon from 2to2}4 percont. Only four roads in Illinois pay any dividends at ali, and thego fonr pay from 8'to 10 per cent. DISCRIMINATION, Q.—What {8 xour opinion of discrimination ? A.—Itis a bold statemont to make that there have been no gribvances of this kind, but, so far a8 the peoplo of Illinols are concerned, I think the complaints of disorimination and extortion are unfounded. The railroads aro managed by as capable men ns are 1n any other business, yot they have paid liitle or nothing to thoir owners. I think the ory of oxtortion has arisen from a lack of information. Poesibly there may havo beon occasionally unjust dis- crimination, but, since the law of last spring, that has all boen made right. TIIE FREIGIUT COMPANIES, Q.—How dow do you rogard the freight com- panies 7 A.—As an advantage. I do notmean thosa owned by privatoe companios (I rogard thom as parasites), but thoso_owned and op- erated by the officers of the railroads, Tho ad- vantago 18, that the shipper gots through rates without auy charge for resilpmunl. Tho pri- vato lines merely got a proflt out of the shippor, without giving 2oy advantages difforent from thoso given by tho raitrond froight linos, LOCAL AND THROUGH RATES, Bonator Davis here questionod Mr. Walker very closoly upon the difference botwoen local and through rates, but only succooded in olicit- ing the fact thot the rato per milo on local froight was ofton donblo that on through froight, and that the reason was that tho railronds mado little or nothing on through freight when thera waa & competing route, 'Lhoy only took it to anve the trade, and whatever very trifling profit there might be In it, BLEEPING-OAT COMTANIES, Q.~Do you know anything of auy companies horing mado contracts with sleapiug-car com- paunies that are injurious to the intorests of tho ublic? A.—Woll, it_is my judgment that all ransportation should be done by tho ralirond companios themaolves, and that all fast-froight linos, sloeping-cars, and cx‘rraau companios, over any road, should bo undertakon by the raflroad company itsolf, TIE QUESTION OF DIVIDENDS, Q.—You gald that only four ronds paid any divi- dends, and they only sbont 8 per cent’ now wo would llke to know what is your opinlon of coustructing ronds that won't pay? A—Well, I think that lnunfirnnds have been constructed that ought not to Linve boen constructod at all, and that many have boon built to tako land-grants,— not in this Btate, howavor; ‘slao that thore have beon mun(y ronda built by county and villago bonds, which is scandalous, and nover ought to havo beon permitted. Q.—Upon what ospital do those four ronds pay their 8 por cent? A,—On their capitul stock, exclusive of intoreat and working cont, T P WATER " QUESTION, Q.—Have thoy been watored 7 A.—No, gir; on the contrary, tholr oapital stool is loss than the astual cost of bullding tho roads, since many of tho ronds bought in by tho trunk-lines cost a great deal moro than theso linos paid for thom, BTOCK DIVIDENDS,' Q.—Do you know of any road dividends, A,—Yos, sir; sovoral them— my own among the number. Wo often romit dividonds for soveral yoars, and put them Into construction and rolling- stook. and then wa eive sharoholders Fnylng stock- of additionnl stoclk, which roprosonts the amount of capital thue put into tho road. ,—What 14 your_local rates for passengors and froight ? A,.—Tor pnpacngers, 314 cents por milo, and for froight 2!¢ conts per ton por mile, for the olght months onding July, 1873, Q.—What is tho porcontagoe of increaso of oxponso in winter over summer? A— It varios acoording to tho sovority of the donson, but somolimes we oarry frelght in wintor at no more than running oxpensos. Wo are also ofton blacked in our businoss hero by Inck of teansportion Enst, and last wine tor wo' brought and dellvered to Eastorn lincs 8,000,000 bushols of d;mlu. whorons'wo ought to hnye giveu 12,000,000 bushols. Q.—Whatwould bo thaoadvantago of improving tho Mieaissippl River ? A.—Vory littlo, if any, The condition of tho mouth of tho river pra- veuts any amount of commorco golug that way. MR, JOHN NEWELL, Prosidont of tho Illinols Contral Railroad Com- ?nny, sald that tho origin of the complaint was o low price of corn Iuat yoar, Tho great glut of production, and tho low price that it brought in Europo, loft a vory small margin to the farm- or. ‘Tho fnctd of tho discrumination aro thoso: Wo charge only a fair local rate, but, at corfain compoting points, wo nre forcod to tika froight at such o emall profit as to make it spponr Iike unfair discriminntion, Tho fact is, that our usual rates aro ouly falr, and that ab . umnpotlnq poiuts thoy aro unroasonably low. The average emmings of roads in this BStale are about ©8,000 or milo, whioh - is_ double tbat of lown or Wiaconsin. The Enstern trunk ronds ofton carry ot tho rate of 8 mills per ton por mile, and it s probable that a double-track froight rallrond, runnlng freight trains alone, could porhaps reduco the cost a little, The cosl of both passongor and froight trafle is about 67 por cent of gross earnings, and tho proportion of cost of full frolght iy probably about 62 por cont of tho gross freight earnings. WATER ROUTES, Mr. Nowoll holds thattho wotor linos can carry chonpor than any othor way. 'Caking0 mills per hundred on cotn, and reducing to prico or_bushol, it would bo about 25,3 conts por ushel to the Atlantio by all rail, whilo the Inke vesgols can carry to Buffalo at 5 conts per busliol andmako as much asthorailronds can, Thon 1cont transfor at Duffalo, 1 cent insurancoe, and 11 conts _to Now York bycanal, mako18 centa in oll From Buffalo to Montreal the cost will bo 7 cents, making 14 conts Inid down In Montreal, Now, taking Oniro as an oquivalent to Chicngo for slflpping to tho sen- board, and the rato from Cairo to New Orloans 0t 7 conts, wo linvo tho various rates of 7 conta 1o Now Orleans, 14 couts by bont to Montreal, 18by bont to Now York, and 25 conts by oll rail, Tho cost of shipping to Livorpool, from New Orleans, would bo in oxcess of thnt from Now York by about 7 conts, which would mako the Now Orleans route cost squal to 14 conts. Now, THE DIAFT OF WATER AT NEW ORLEANE is mover ovor 20 or 21 feet, and gonerally not moro than 16 or 17, so that vessols of doop draft caunot get up, and unless they aro deop dreft they cannot carry graln economically on the ocean. ‘Thoroforo, unless the channel is tlucsunud this routo cannot bo advantagoousl. used, Corn canuot, lika cotton, bo lightored, sinco it won't pay to lighter it. Tho increnso in the produce of the Btato hag not beon 50 por cent in ton yoars, while the rail- roads have more than doublod, Now, the local rosidonts have boen allowed to vote bonds to aid railronds, sometimes a8 high as 88,000 por mile, often 26,000 por mile, and the contractor pock~ ots this amount as clerr profit, building tho rond by tho ealo of the bonds of tha Compauy. MR, If. E. SARGEANT, Goneral Suporintondont of the Michigan Cen- tral Rnilrond Company, gava as his judgment that ton miles por hour, includiog atops, was tho most cconomical epced for froight traing. o thought a through line of doublo track for froight nlono would bo an advantage if the dificultiecs of ongineering to bo over- como wero not too grent. Tho lonst cost that it could carry freight for would be a trifle less than cont per ton por milo, but it would depend n good doal upon what retnrn froights wero obtained. The through lines havo heen constantly roducing ratas, and the roduction of local rates during tho Inst 5 years on the Michigan Contral has Ticon 34 por Cont. MR. C. 3. GRAY, Asst. Goneral Froight Agout of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southorn R. R. Company, gave some information relative to the manner in which tho through rnates were decided npon for tho railroads and fast froight linos, but nothing of partioular importance was olicited, R, C. E, CULVER, Prosident of the Board of Trnde, was tho last witness, and hemorely gavo the Committes 1n- formation of tho manner in which trading was done, and grain handled by the commission mer- chante in tho Board of Trade, The subject i n very familiar ono in Chicago, though ap- {mronfly now to the Committeo. On hoaring all tho information that they desired from Mr, Culver, the Committee preparod to break up. Senator Davis was anxious to gob more members present at next mooting, but as Sonators Shorman, Ames, snd Cassorly all had oloctions ponding, and a8’ Conkling was looking anxiously for the Chief-Justiceship, thore did not seem much prospect of & more full attondance, On ndjourning, it was in- formally undoratood that thoy should moot Oct, 16 at tho Fifth Avenuo Iotel, Now York, and proceed thence to Richmond, Va.; thence to Cincinnati, St. Louis, New Orleans, and, possi- Dbly, 8t. Mark's, Fla. WORTIL AN INVESTIGATION. If an Outrage Xas Jicen Perpetrated, Lot the Guilty Parties Iic Apprehond= ed. A vory suspicioun affair occurred in tho West Divigion about midnight on Friday, that has givon birth to tho supposition that an outrago has been perpotrated upon tho person of a young woman, to the accomplishment of which Jamos Duggin, driver of hack No. 105, lent his aid. The hack was standing, at tho hour named, at the corner of Westorn aveuue and Fulton stroot. BSome polico officors wero attracted towards it by hearing an unueusl noise inside, like thosuppross- ed crics of o woman, When they arrived at the carringe, o woman thrust hor head out of the window, sud asked tho ofticers to direct the driver to No, 567 Kinzie strcot. She appesred much agitated, and by hor sido eat a man, who said nothing., Tho drivor roughly romarked that gho * didn't know what she was talking about,” and that ho know sho wanted to go to the corner of Kinzie and Paulina streeta. Ho thon whipped up his horses, and went in an opposite direction from the coruer ho had named, the horses golng on o run. As tho cnrr!nfzu disnppenrad, the crios of tho woman wero diatinctly heard, and drow a good many heads out of tho windows, as it pass- od by, 'l‘fio polico ofiicors gavo chaso, and fol- lowed tho vohicle eouth on Wostern avenue to Harrison street, and then by a side stroot thoy roturned to ‘Westorn avenuo and striking West Madiron street, came oast. 'The residonts in tho vicinity of Madison streat and Wostorn avenue state that the woman was erying whon tho earringo turnod that cor- ner, and that the horses were still running. Nothing more {s known conceruing this suspi- cious affair. On Saturdey night Duggla, tho driver reforred to, wos arrosted for leaving his hack-toam unhitched, and yosterdny meditated ‘Union Street Station. Ho in tho luuk—ur of tho ehould be held until the polico ofilcors, who are cognizant of the above facts, can invostigate them.

Tho awcot dreams of marital folicity that fill tho minds of young mon aud womon aro seldom ronlized. It s not an uncommon oceurronce for honeymoon to be of short duration. Almost ovory nowly-married mon and swoman i saying in his or hor hontt, **It fsn't what I thought it would bo.” Ilonoymoons are cut short in many ways. Somo aro onded by the frowning prosonco of n mothor-in-lnw; othera by tho trivial discov- ory that tho young man or tho woman is, aftor. oll, an impoounious porson. A honoymoon hns boen cut short by a suppor that was miserably gotton up. A look has dono it. Thoso are some of tho ordinary ways by which the dronma of tho sontimontal are dissipated. Thou thoroare logal, orextraordinary ways. Thelogal mothod gonerally crops out when the marringe Las boon ontered into In antngonism to tho law of tho country. This offonse may bo committed eithor by marry- ing moro than ono wifo, by marrylng another man's wife, or by securiug n license to marry o young girl of **non-consenting age,” by falacly swearing that her paronts havo consented to the wedloclk. The honeymoon of G, A. Jackson and Minnio, youngost dnughtor of James Watson, Esq,, of No. 43 Wost Washington streot, was cut short by tho Intter method when it was buv fiftoen hours old. Jackson is o largo, well-kept man, not far {from 40 yoars old, who buried a wifo not many yoors sgo. Ho bns been for some timo 8 boarder at Watson's house. Tho lit- tls girl, who snys sho consontod to become his wifo, is o plumfi, tmumy littlo blonde, who o was tho least agitated of all tho purly, whon her_father, hor Lusband, and hersolf, accompn- nied by o police officer, appenred in tho Armory Polico Btation yosterday, ubout 11 o'clock n. m.
