GATHER HERE ON WEDNESDAY Business Men of Transmississippi Country Hold Consultation. NO APPEAL TO GOVERNMENT Conflict to De Direct, Tooth and Nall Match, Says Local Delegate to Windy City's Council of Patrons. War, unrelenting, bitter, biting strug- gle is the answer that the western ship-| pers propose to make to the raflroads | at the meeting to be -cld in Omaha on | Wednesday. The raflroaus have framed up their speil, taken it to the in- terstate Commerce commission, filed the rates and have settled back to awaft the rake-off,” sald E.J. McVann, head of the Commercial club's traffic bureau, on his return from the Chicago meeting yester- day ~ “They have done this thing without taking us Into consultation In any way got together. They have made their talk and taken thelr action. It is our turn now. They will ‘cither arbitrate those rates and that right away or there will be a fight. Mr. McVann gave a well defined picture of the position that w.e shippers assume when he declared that it would not be |a fight before the Interstate Commerce commission. “This will be a fight right in the field. Rough and tumble, everything goes. Re- taliation will be wne slogan.” The meeting called for 10 o'clock on Wednesday morning at the Omaha Com- merclal club rooms is to be attended by | shippers and their representatives from the territory west of Chicago and east | this meeting in any way, Mr. McVann an- nounces in most emphatic terms, The shippers take the position now that their differences with the roads are to be fought out now once and for all. The day of equivocation 1s past. Figures and esti- mates on the gain which the railroads will make by the increased rates which they have scheduled to become effective June 1, haye been made public by lhe Interstate Commerce commission. These estimates, In) thelr showing that the higher revenues will glve the roads hundreds of milllons in revenue above their increased expense, have been but fuel to the fire, These estimates place the increased ex- penditures of the roads at but a fraction of the higher earnings made possible by the ralse In freight rates. An example Is cited in the calculation made on the roads within the territory bounded by the Indiana and Illinols state lines on the west, and the Potomac river on the south. Here the trunk lines reached a total in gross earnings of $1,107437,186 in the year ending June 8), 1%7. With this figure, which 1s probably far below the Dpresent earnings, as a basls, the increase in rates even if it averages as low as 10 per ‘cént, will retirn a tidy bunch of mil- lions above the $90,000,000 increase In oper- ating expenses. This figure on the in- creased operating expenses, according to the Interstate Commerce commission, in- cludes a number of projects for increased expenditures which have not yet been made. The advance in payrolls in the ter- ritory so described, is covered by $50,000,000, Advances in Wages. W. C. Brown, president of the New York Central liries, estimates that advances al- ready made In the wage of organized la- bor and those yet to be made in 1910, will cost the roads of the country $100,000,00 an- | nually. The shippers, however, point out that in the territory Included In the Inter- state Commerce commission's estimate of Increased earnings, comprising but a frac- tlon of the country's lines, more than this amount of additional revenue will be pro- duced by the increased rates.

THIRD SON OF KING OF SPAIN STILL BORN Body Will Be Buried Without Cere- mony in Pantheon of Es- curial Monastery. i MADRID, May 2l.—Queen Victoria was delivered of a boy, still born, at 4 o'clock this morning. The unhappy outcome Is at- tributed to a premature accouchement, which, however, was otherwise natural. The boy will be buried without ceremony in the Royal Pantheon of the Escurial monastry. When told of her loss the mother wept bitterly. King Alfonso s still in London, where he attended yesterday the funeral of the queen's uncle, the late King' Ed- vard. The last few weeks had been most trying for her majesty. Early in the present | month the approach of the confinement | was noted by the royal physiclans and twice during ‘the days that followed the officials of the court were summoned under the impression that the birth was imml- nent. While this state of doubt existed, his majesty was obliged to go to London for the royal obsequies. According to custom, Premier Canalejas Y.

As congress lags towards a close, many of the national legislators gathered here, spend as much time discussing the complex political situation as they do the Intricate measures which have so greatly disturbed the peace of the senate and house. The éxigencies of the republican situation have led to unbounded enthusiasm in the ranks of democracy, With the accustomed for- tune of democrats, however, optimistic signs are overshadowed with dissension. Democrats See Things. The democratic leaders from Willlam Jennings Bryan down, speak iIn terms of rosy hope for the natlonal canipaign of 1012, but they all say that much will de- pend upon the outcome of the elections this year.. Not one is ready to express in distinct terms a prophecy as to who will be the next democratic nominee for presi- dent. All say the foregoing mentioned quad- ruplicate are eligibles, but the elimination process must be brought into play very care fully, cautiously and conservatively, Colonel Bryan, it is understood, will not be a candidate for the presidency in 1012 On that subject he has become & sphinx. But from the Indications and recent d velopments he will make no effort towards political dominancy further than to retain sufficlent power to have a volce in the naming of a candidate. The fact that in 1596, 1904 and 1906 & westerner was the dem- ocratic nominee for the presidency leads to the bellef that the next presidential nom- inee on the democratic ticket must come from that territory known as the for west or else the east. Considering as east, all that section east of the Mississippl river, all the foregoing mentioned eligibles are then easterners, It is quite possible that the demo rats of New York will nominate Mayor Gay- nor for the governorship although the | elty executive of the Empire state me- tropolis has been engaged n a war of words with Willlam R.
