SHIPPING FACILITIES ARE
RAPIDLY IMPROVING.
Commlttei Appointed by Livestock
Association Reports or Progress of
" Negotiations Companies Are Grad-
.ualy Conceding All tho 8tockmen
Ask Pass Privilege Restored as a
Result of the Committee.
The Uvostock Association has is
sued the following circular showing
tho progress of negotiations with tho
railroad companies, looking toward
better transportation facilities.
Speaking of tho tonnage system of
freight hauling on roads, tho circular
says:
"It takes time for railway compa
nies to inaugurate entirely new meth
ods of transportation over thousands,
of miles of line. Howovor, their
promise made to the committee of tho
National Livestock Association at
the Chicago conference to abrogate
the tonnage system In hauling live
stock Is bolng realized. It cannot bo
expected that small shipments of less
than ten cars shall demand a 'special'
service, or that a reasonable number
of cars of dead freight shall not make
up tho balance of tho train.
"The principal demand of tho ship
pers Is promptness In furnishing cars,
and better time on tho wny to market.
Reports from nearly every western
state Is to tho effect that the service
has wonderfully improved, and that
the railways are honestly endeavoring
to give satisfaction. Advices from
all tEe eastern markets aro that the
service in time and prompt dellvory
is now better than it has been ot any
time for several years past.
"President F. J. Hagonbarth has ad
dressed a letter to Chairman Mahoney
of tho Trunk line committee, in which
he offers to meet with tho presidents
or traffic managers of stock-carrying
roads at any time, for the purpose of
amicably ana Justly settling any dif
ferences which may arlso between
the Btockmen nnd transportation com
panies. "We ask that nny shipper experi
encing uncalled for delay report the
same to this office, that we may have
it on file for any future emergency
that may arise. . '
"The return pass privilege has been
restored to Btockmen through this
committee.
Interstate Commerce.
"If It is possible to get the inter
state commerce act amended as pro
vided for In the Quarles-Coopor bill,
the troubles of the shippers of Hvf
stock will be minimized. The National

has been aiding the interstate com-l

THE INVENTOR ROBBED.
Widow Now Sues Standard Oil Com
pany for Royalties Due Her Hus
band. Fifty million dollars Is claimed by
Lllzaboth T. Qroonbough, of Now
wiuow or tno ramous inventor,
Benjamin' P. Greonbough, In a suit
against Henry H. Rogers, of the
standard 011 company, and the exec
utors of Charles Pratt, onco Mr. Rog
ers' partner.
The notion has been commenced in
tho Massachusetts Bitperlor court, and
summons havo been sent to Mr. Rog
ers and tho Pratt executors.
Mrs. Greenbough's claim Is based
on tho Invention by her husband ot
a process ot oll-rellnlng which ren
ders kerosono non-explosive, nnd sliu
n leges that sho Is entitled to a roy
alty of one-quarter of a cent a gallon
on nil oil so treated by tho Standard
Oil company.
In 1874, when Rogers nnd Pratt
wero young nnd poor in tho oil busi
ness Greonbough invented this pro
cess, and sold It to them under a
contract guaranteeing him the roynl
ty mentioned. Within n few years
Greonbough had received nioro than
$500,000 In royalties from the Stan-
dard Oil cnillnnnv. tn vlilnll lliwnro
and Pratt had transmitted the inven
tion.
Then Greonbough was lost at sea
and Ills Widow, hnvlnir lin l.-nnvlni1iTf
of the contract with her husband,
TEN
made no claim for royalties. Tho
Standard Oil company also apparently
forgot It.
A short time ago Mrs. Greonbotigh
found nniong her husbnnil's pnpors a
copy of tho contract, and tho suit Is
the result, Though begun against
Rogers and tho Pratt executors, tho
Standard Oil company Is the real de
fendant. Greonbough during the civil war
compounded nn oxploslvo that proved
so torrlblo that his wife begged him
not to rovnll its secret, and ho never
