Railroads Forbidden to Give
Harvester Machinery
Preference.
HARVESTS ARE SUFFERING
AVest Is Crying . for Machinery
Blocked in Congested Yards, but
Hepburn Ijaw Forbids Relief.
Hardship to the Sick.
WASHINGTON. July 13. (Special.) -Shippers
and communities throughout the
country are beginning to appreciate the
fact that under the new law the railroads
are unable to do many things that they
did formerly without question and for
the benefit of the people at large. Even
in cases of public necessity, for example,
the lines find themselves powerless to
relieve the situation, through fear of be
ing guilty of discrimination that will
make them liable, to the penalties of tire
Hepburn act.
Information has been received by the
Commerce Commission that a large por
tion of the Far West and Northwest Is
suffering from lack of farm machinery,
ordered with a view to' harvesting this
season's crops properly. The railroads
were appealed to for relief and were anx
ious to assist the farming communities,
but were unable to do so for fear that
they would discriminate as to service
against other shippers.
Farmers Cry for Machinery.
The harvester company was in receipt
of hundreds of complaints from every
part of the Western country. Farmers
and communities were begging for ma
chinery, for the lack of which the har
vests were suffering. , Accordingly, the
harvester people laid the matter before
the officials of the Harrlman lines. The
traffic heads discussed the question, and
then decided that it was a case where
relief should be granted.
The company asked the railroads to
make farm machinery preferred freight
and have it sorted out of the congested
yards and sent to its destinations at ex
press train speed. The request was put
on the ground that the harvest of the
West would suffer greatly if the enormous
amount of farm machinery then In tran
sit could not be delivered speedily.
New Law Forbids Relief.
Under "the old regime the traffic offK
cials would have complied with the re
quest without a moment's hesitation. It
occurred to them, however, that they
would better lay the question before their
attorneys, Just to be on the safe side.
Much to their surprise, they were told
that they could not grant the request of
the harvester people without violating the
Hepburn act.
The Commission already has been re
quested to modify its ruling that an ex
tension of a ticket cannot be given to
traveler taken severely ill during a Jour
ney. The Board holds that to do so con
stitutes a discrimination against other
travelers, but the railroad men think
there can be no , discrimination If the
privilege is extended equally to all sick
to continue their Journey.
FREIGHT CAR POOL BREAKS.
Big Roads Abandon Project Which Does
Not Succeed.
CHICAGO. July 13. The American
Railway Clearing-house, which for elgnt
months has been trying to perfect a
pool of all freight cars in the country,
is in process of disintegration, accord
ing to the Inter-Orean. The Chicago &
Alton Railroad, which was one of the
strongest advocates of the car-pooling
scheme at the outset will withdraw.
The Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul
Railroad has already witht-iawn, and
many of the big roads in the East and
West have determined to abandon the
project.
The organization has failed in Its
prime object, to insure each road hav
ing on its own rails all the time the
number of cars owned by it. It has
failed to do this because it had no
power to penalize the roads for dis
obeying Its mandates, beyond the im
position of the established rute of
rental per diem.

FINANCIER WITNESS AGAINST
FEMALE SWINDLER.
Repudiates Adventuress Who Profit
ed Through Letter Purporting to
Have Been Written by Him.
LONDON, July 13. J. Pierpont Morgan
appeared In the West London Police Court
today as a witness in the case of Mrs.
Josephine Leslie, who was arrested at
Newmarket July 4, charged with defraud
ing members of well-known families by
false pretenses, and who represented
herself to be a friend of Mr. Morgan. The
latter repudiated all knowledge of Mrs.
Leslie. He said he did not write to .her
advising her to Join one of his syndi
cates, and never invited Mrs. Leslie, as
alleged, to dine at his son's house. A
a matter of fact, Mr. Morgan added, he
was in New York at the time of the al
leged invitation.
On cross-examination, Mr. Morgan ssild
he did not remember any invitation be
ing sent to George Easterllck, the pris
oner's father, for a public dinner which
Mr. Morgan gave in New York. Mr.
Morgan was sure that his firm had no
customer of that name, and he said It
was improbable that any of his business1
friends would speak of investments re
turning 12 per cent, which Mrs. Leslie sai.i
was to be the interest on money Invested
In the alleged Morgan syndicate.
"I did not know many of tltat charac
ter," said Morgan in conclusion. After
the plaintiff. Miss Annie Blount, had tes
tified briefly that she was Induced to
give Mrs. lesllo J42.500 on the Btrength
of letters purporting to have been writ
ten by Mr. Morgan promising huge re
turns, the case was adjourned.
