Denisl that the Burlington is Mauipulating Rates from Denver OTHER ROADS TRYING TO THROW DUST Bays Only Five Tickets Were Sold, and These at Regular Rates. and He Had Heretofore Written Chairman Caldwell to This Effec There is a grand row right in sight over the Denver school teachers and the perni- clous activity shown by some of the rail- roads In getting the little business there was rom the west When the Burlington was charged with cutting the rate for the school teachers of the Colorado capital Mr. Francis, general passenger agent of the road, sent a letter to Chairman Caldwell explanatory of the situation, conceding that the records of his office showed five round trip tickets sold, but at regular tarlff rates, and then the general pasesnger agent proceeded to recite & few things which other roads bad been guilty of to secure business It is now leerned that Chairman Caldwell considers the answer of Mr. Francis ambig- uous and ihat competing lines would regard the letter with much more favor i Mr. Francis had come out and stated unequivo- cally, not what the records of his office showed, but that no cut or other unauthor- ized effort hud been made to induce the teactiers to patronize hie road Last night Mr. Francis was informed of Mr. Caldwell's opinion, to which the general passenger agent of the Burlington replied “All this talk about the Burlington cutting the rate for Denver school teachers is cal- culated to withdraw investigation from the doings of competing lines. In fact, it is very much like throwing dust in order that some other road may escape in the general ory of ‘stop thief.” 1 wrote Mr. Caldwell that we had discovered that five tickets had been purchased, but at regular tariff rate Since that time I have redeemed one tic 1 have every reason to believe that of the other four tickets out one or more has been purchased by competing lines for redemption and 1 have very grave doubts whether & single passenger traveled on the tickets s out. When I was informed that the Denver office was manipulating the market I fm- mediately requested our Denver agent to discontinue the sale, if otherwise than at tariff rates, and was informed that every- thing was straight and above board. Now, I haven't a word to say, except that all this hue and cry is raised by some one who is desirous of withdrawing public scrutiny from their own doings.” OF GREAT VALUE TO RATLROAD MEN. History of the Wage Schedule Conference in Omaha Published Book For It has been a great many years since the rallroad world of America has been s0 in- tensely interested over the outcome of a case s during the hearing in the matter of the petition of the receivers of the Union Pacific system in reference to the wage schedules of employes. During the long conference be- tween the officials of the “Overland” system the employes affected by the change in schednles and the circuit court of the United States, Judges Caldwell and Riner sttting, the interest was wide spread, the railway employes ax far east as Maine and as far west as California_showing by the eagerness In reading the daily papers that many vital principles were at stake. While the newspapers of Omaha published extended proceedings of the trial, much that was interesting and much that vitally con- cernad railroad workers had to be omitted, but the decree of Judge Caldwell that the proceodings should be printed in book form went far toward satisfying the railroad world with the limitation which the mewspapers were compelled to place on their report of the case. This book has now been published by the Omaha Printing compeny, making a_hand- some volume of nearly 800 pages, with wide margins and large type. and is a_decided contribution to railroad literature. The case ftself was history making and the book will preserve in tangible form the proceedings in that trial, which were unique through- out, for they were little like the usual dry Proceedings in a court of eguity. In addi- tion to the 500 volumes ordered by Judge Caldwell, the Omaha printing company has printed 1,000 extra copies, both in leather and paper bindings, which will be offered for sale to railway organizations and others dnterested in the case. The book is complete dn every respect, not ouly having the evi- dence in existence, but the complete sched- ules, both old and new, comparisons as to the cost of labor on various railroads. In brief, it is an unsbridged compendium of the wage question which Judge Caldwell passed upon in his now famous decision. MANYTHING TO GET BUSINESS. Railronds Are Acoused of Strange Mothods. The volume of passenger business fo move the railroads of the transmissour! country very much smaller this year than during the same period for the last ten years, last year of course being excepted. But the emall business has not deterred the railroads from going after the business with scalping knives, utter demoralization being the result. Probably Denver has been the scene of the greatest demoralization, school teachers from that city east hound having greatly benefited by the keen competition of trans- missouri trunk lines. While charges have been made against several rouds, it now appears that one of the roads supposed to be entirely innocent of the cutting of rates has resorted to very pecul far methods to secure business. “In fact said a railroader, “it is a little the worst thing that Las beew done by a railroad in years, being no less than bauling Denver 8cheol teachers eastbound on advertising tickets and that too on a race of $18 from Denver to Chicago when the standard rate s $20.2. Such a condition of affairs can only result in:&till further reduction. Edi- torlal transportation is regarded as entirely sacred to newspapers that carry advertise- ments for the various raflroads, and is usu- ally igsued by the advertising man of a rail- Toad on the reguest of an editor or other person so emipowered to make requests and usually passks directly under the eve of the generzl passenger agent. General offices of Talroads haye lavariably a supply of these tickets on hand for the purpose of paying newspapers for the advertisements they carry. But this ‘under the hat’ business of securing bysiness on the part of a Colorado line quite framscends anything of the kind ever attempted In railroading. 1 understand that several of these advertising tickets have been obtuined and will be forwarded to the chalrman of the Western Passenger associa- tion, not because dny action is desired, but to show to what extremes roads will resort to get business."” Using Some SO0 ROUTE MAKING TROUBLE.

CHICAGO, June 23.—The first quadrennia meeting of the American Rallway union was adjourned this afternoon until Jur Pullman company were discussed and the adjournment was taken amid enthusiast cheering for President Debs and the office In the elestion of two directo Elliott of Butte, Mont., and J of Cleveland were successful nom salaries of the various officers were fixed | by the convention as follows: Presid | 82,000 per year; vice president, mecrstary and chief editor of the Raifway Times 2,400 each;: directors, $1,500 per annum A resolution of thanks to the delegates as given to the convention by the Pullman legates for the action taken in relation to the trouble at Pullman and for donations made to the Pullman relief fund. President Debs said there was but one thing in the proceedings of the convention he would change if he had the power and that was the vote in relation to the admittance of the negro to membership in the union. How- ever, the majority had voted against the measure and he proposed to stand by the action of the majority in all cases. In the matter of the proposed action against the Pullman company he cautioned the delegates to stand firm and to give their utmost confidence to the officers and the board of dircctors. He assured them that the organization would win this fight as it had won all it had undertaken In the pa He believed it might result in the greatest rallroad strike in the history of country | and this was only another reason why they should stand firm and take advantage of every opportunity to help their struggling brothers at Pullman. LET THEM GO AHEAD, C. P. Hunt gton Not Seared by Attorney Genersl Onley's Suits. NEW YORK, June 23.—The World con- tains an interview with Mr. Huntington in regard to the suits brought against the Pacific receivers by Attorney General Olney He says the suits do not trouble him and adds: “Of course, 1 wonid rather they had not been begun, but if it came to a matter of putting out one dollar to stop them I { would mot. I will mot discuss them. I saw the flaming head lines in the paper the other day: ‘Thirty years of crime’ It is the habit of the newspaper to print sensa- tional things without strict reference to how much truth there is in them. But as to these suits, I know all about them and there is nothing in them. For some time back half a dozen or more men ave been writing to me and telling me that unless 1 sent for them and saw them they would tell the people a number of things the people ought to know. There is one man who is particularly active in this line. 1 told them that If there were things the American people ought to know by all means to go ahead and tell them. These people have gome to Mr. Olney, I sippose, and that I take to be the origin of the suits. Frem what I have heard of Mr. Olney I am sure he would not have commenced the suits unless he felt convinced it was his duty to do so. I believe him to be a man of ability and a just man Raliway Notes. General Passenger agent James Parker of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas was in the city yesterday.

OAKLAND, Cal, June 23—A strange in- cident in the history of Free Masonry, un- precedented in this country, took place at Mountain View cemetary today. It was the burial with Masonic rites of the heart of Yguacio Herreray Cairo, one of the early governors of Mexico and a Mason whom the members of the order call a martyr to their cause. The heart has been for a year on deposit in the casket in the Masonic temple of Oak- land, it baving been brought from Mexico to Gel chapel No. 5 of the Rosa Croix. At the burial place in Mountain View cemetary the foundation stone of & monument was laid by the grand lodge of Masons of the state The caskot enclosing the heart was wrapped in two silk flags, one American and the other Mexican, and deposited under the foun- dation stone. Masons from all over the coast were in attendance. Several Mexican societies were also present. Shortly after the declaration of Mexico's independence Cairo became identified with the Masonic fraternity, and was made gov- ernor of the state of Julisco, Mex. While in this position he was informed of a plot against the government by the Carmelites. He ordered the plotters thrown into prison, and they were punished. For this action en his part, it is said, ke became a marked man. In the course of time Cairo was retired from the governor- ship and went to live on a farm to pass a quiet life. Soon afterwards he was shot to death by Manuel Pielago. Cairo said he knew that his Masonic faith had hastened him to his doom. Before he died he asked four of his brother Masons to take his heart after his death and give it to some chapter of the Rose Croix for burial. The heart has beem since very carefully guarded. ——— PROSTRATED BY HEAT. Six Deaths from that Cause at Philadelphin Yesterday. PHILADELPHIA, June 21—This is the hottest day of the year.

A woman responded to his summons and was almost oyercome by fright. General Tars- ney assured her he was o human being, and asked her to call the men. She did 80 after convineing the farmers whoshe was, and after relating his experience everything that 1d be done for him was done. A neigh bor was summoned who brought a horse and buggy. Although the new comer was one of the deputies who went to Cripple Creek, his indignation was aroused. He gave General Tarsney a revolver, tock one himself, and saying, “If they come after us, we will go down together,” began the drive to Palmer Lake, but the deputy stood by his charge even coming to Demver, and tonight is & guest in the general's residence. Sympathetic people were found here and everything possible was done to relieve the man's sufferings. He was made os fortable as possible.

When the affecting meeting was over all haste was made to Denver, which was reached a little after § o'clock. The gen- eral was taken home and everything that medical skill and affection could suggest was done. When first seen General Tarsuey appeared prostrated, but was sitting up in the reception room. Conversation at first was evid carried on by s e effort Graduallly the sufferer became more ani- mated. When he began to talk of the hu- miliating ordeal his feelings overcame him To have continued the interview would have been merciless, and the reporter withdrew The general was asked whom he blamed and replied he had nothing to say. He said he would take no steps to personally prose- cute his tormentors. Timothy J. Tarsney was appointed adjutant general of Colorado by Governor Waite. He ts a brother of Congressman Tarsney of Mis- souri and ex-Congressman Tarsney of Michi- gan. General Tarsney was the personal rep- resentative of the governor during the police board troubles when the militia was opposite the city ball. His undaunted bearing at that time antagonized the police and their sympa- thizers and it was freely stated that if shoot- ing commenced he would be the first man to fall In the earlier stages of the Cripple Creek trouble he was legal adviser for some of the miners and since the settlement of the strike has resumed his services In that capacity. While the militia was in the field at Oripple Creek he was again the direct representative of the governor through whom orders were transmitted to General Brooks. In this serv- ice he found himself opposed once more to many of the men alligned against his at the city hall. The A. P. A. was bitter in its threats against General Tarsney. DENOUNCE THE OUTRAGE.

CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo., June 23.—The outrage perpetrated upon the person of Gen- eral Tarsney is condemned by every one in Cripple Creek. The militiamen are highly indignant and the miners are wild with rage The miners say that there are more an- archists in Colorado Springs than there ever were an Bull Hill, but they take satisfaction in the fact that the true character of the men who came here representing law and order has been proven by themselves. If the sheriff does mot bring the perpetrators to light there is a probability that the miners will take some peaceable measures to do so. _— NATIONAL SAENGERFEST OPENED.
