Heney on Santa Fe's Methods.
The following letter and iuclosure
from Mr. Heney sufficiently illus
trates the methods of the high offic

the similar plea of the Standard Oil
Wing equally without foundation:

"The President, Washington, D. C
"Dear Mr. President: i understand
that Mr. Ripleys of the Atchison, To
peka & Santa Fe Railway system has
commented with some severity upon
yonr attitude toward the payment of
rebates" by certain transcontinental
railroads and that he has declared
that he personally never knew any
thing about rebates being granted by
his road ... I inclose you here
with copy of a letter from Edward
Chambers, general freight traffic
manager of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santo Fe Railway system, to Mr. G.
A. Davidson, auditor of the Santa Fe
Company, dated February 27, 1907.
... This letter does not deal with
interstate shipments, but the consti
tution of the State of California
snakes the payment of rebates by
railroads a felony, and Mr. Ripley
has apparently not been above the
commission of crime to secure busi
ness. You are liberty to use this
inclosure in any way that you think

the public. Sincerely yours,

so there may be in the papers a his
tory of the reasons why this arrange
ment was made. I wish you would
go ahead and make the adjustment as
soon as possible, as the Associated

"San Francisco, June 27, 1907.
"Dear Sir: I hand you herewith a
file of papers covering the movement
of fuel shipped by the Associated Oil
Company over our lines from Janu
ary 1, 1906, up to and including No
vember IS, 1906. We agreed with the
Associated Oil Company, in negotia
tions with Mr. Ripley, Mr. Wells and
mvself. that in consideration of their
making us a special price on oil for
company use, which is covered by a
contract, and the further considera
tion that we would take a certain
auantitv. they would in turn ship
from Bakersfield over our line to
San Francisco Bay points a certain
minimum number of barrel? of fuel
oil at rate of 25 cents per barrel from
Fakersfield. exclusive of the switch
ing charges. These statements cover
the movement, except that they nave
included Stockton, which is not cor
rect, as it is not a bay point, and
could not be reached as conveniently
by water. We have paid them on ac
count of this movement $7239,
which should be deducted from the
total movement shown in the attach
ed papers. I would arrange to make
p a statement, check the same and
refund to the Associated Oil Com
pany down to the ba.-is of 25 cents
per barrel from. Bakersfield, where
they are the shippers, regardless of
who is consignee, as all their fuel
oil is sold delivered.
"The reason for making this deal,
in addition to what I have stated, is
that the Associated Oil Company
fcave their own hoats and carry oil
from fields controlled by themselves
along the coast near San Luis Obispo
to San Francisco at a much lower
cost than the special rate we have
made them, rnd in competition with
the Union Company and the Stand
ard Oil Company it was necessary
for them to sell at the San Francisco
Bay points on the basis of the cost
of water transportation from the
fields. They figured they could only
afford to pay us the 25 cents a bar
rel, if by doing this they could sell
our company a certain amount of
fuel oil; otherwise the business cov
ered by the attached papers would

WASHINGTON, -Jan. 31. -The
reading of the President's message
ccmcernne the Employers' Liability
act and granting of injunctions in
labor cases and other matters of gen
eral nature concerning the big corpo
rations was the chief feature of the
Senate proceedings today. The mes
sage received careful attention from
many Senators of both sides of the
chamber. The Senate ordered 10,000
copies printed. The remainder of the
day was devoted to routine business
and the further consideration of the
penal code bill. Adjournment was
had until Monday.
IN THE HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. An un
usual unprecedented scene was en
acted in the House today as a result
of the reading of the special message
of the President urging legislation in
matters relating to labor and capital
and of corporations and the public.
The vigorous language of the docu
ment brought forth storms of ap
plause, first on the Democratic side
of the House and then on the Repub
lican side and then culminating in a
general demonstration by the entire
body. As ' if in anticipation of
something out of the ordinary
going to happen there was a very full
attendance of members. Long after
the reading had been concluded it
was the sole topic of conversation
among members on the floor and" in
the lobby.
After passing 280 pension bills, the
Indian appropriation bill was dis
cussed. It was still under considera
tion when the House adjourned until
Monday.

The bladder, however, causes the
old folks the most annoyance, espec
ially at night and early morning.
A noted authority in a recent ar
ticle stated that he has wonderful
success with the old-time "vegetable
treatment, lie states: "Of 16 cases
of bladder troubles and rheumatism
which have been treated with this
treatment only one very complicated
case failed to fully yield to its re
markable influence. It is the most
harmless treatment I have ever found
to clean the system of rheumatic
poisons; remove irritation of the
bladder and relieve urinary difficulties
of the old people. It is a true vitaliz

urinary structure, reinvigorating the
entire system."
What he terms "old vegetable
treatment" consists of the following
simple prescription, the ingredients
which can be obtained from any good
pharmacy at small cost: Compound
Kargon, one ounce; Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce. Compound
Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces.
Shake well in a bottle and take in
teaspoonful doses after each meal
and upon going to bed, also drink
plenty of water.
This prescription, thought simple,
is always effective in the diseases and
afflictions of the kidneys and bladder.
