5/1YS RAILROAD RUINED
AN OMAHA GRAIN DEALER
WHO “GO7 IN THE WAY”
Chicago, Sept. 18.—A. B. Stlckney
yesterday told the interstate commerce
commission how a man who formerly
li as a prosperous grain dealer at Oma
ha became penniless and Is now living
Hi Chicago and working as a clerk as a
result of the persecution of the Union
Pacific railway.
Stlckney said the man accidentally
discovered that the Union Pacific was
■paving heavy rebates to the F. H.
pcavey Grain Company and demanded
of ihe road an equal rebate with the
Peavey Company. The company prom
ise,1 to "make It all right" with him, If
he would turn over to It a letter which
had been Intended for the Pevvey Com
pany. but had been misdirected and
had fallen Into the hands of the com
plainant.
The letter was surrendered and that
was the last heard from the Union Pa
cific until he Inquired of the roud what
they were going to do for him. The
official of the railroad then became In
dignant and refused to discuss the
matter.
The grain dealer himself then grew
Indignant, and the result was that the
road "layed for-him" and It was not
l o . 0 *“ r , ore the * rnln man, who had hut
,30,000 In the world, was driven to the
wall. He was compelled to go to work
In a grain office, but was driven from
that because It was feared he might
Injure the railroad.
Mr. Stlckney withheld the man's
name, but the commission expects to
hear more about It upon the arrival of
E. M. s. Letlamy, one of the ruined
dealer*, who Is now on the way to Chi
cago from Lexington, Nebraska, to tes
tify against the Union Pacific.
TWO FATALLY HURT
ON RACE COURSE
Robertson and Driver In
When Motor Car
Strikes Pole.
jured
New York, Sept. 19.—George Robert
son and his machinist, Arthur Warren,
were probably fAtally hurt In a smash
up <>n the Vanderbilt course, near Min
net da. L. I. .
Robertson was at the' wheel as the
machine whirled along on the stretch
Just ahead of what Is known as the
hairpin turn near Bulls Head. Sudden-*
ly. at the turn, the sharnest on the
whole course, the big car swerved wide,
struck a telegraph pole, upset and flung
both Robertson an<t Warren to the
road with terrific force.
Just behind Robertson was Elliott
F. Shepard In his 130-horse-power
Hotchkiss machine. Robertson had
raised a lot of dust and Shepard could
n«it see wnat was ahead of him. For
tunately for him, however, he slowed
up to tnke the dangerous Hair Pin turn
and thus saved his life.
As Shepard reached the beginning of
the turn he caught sight of the tele
graph pole which had been snapped
like a tooth-pick, lying alongside the
turnpike. Then he stopped his machine
and saw the car overturned and wreck
ed and Robertson and Warren uncon
scious near by. -
Shepard harr hl% machinist run his
car to the nearest telephone station and
call an ambulance from the Nassau
hospital at Mlneola. When the ambu
lance reached the place where the accl
dent had occurred both men were lifted
Into the vehicle still unconscious and
taken .slowly to the institution.
There It was found that Robertson
had suffered paralysis, besides being
badly hurt all over the body. Warren
hail both his arms broken and also was
Injured internally. Neither of the men,
it was said, has much chance of recov
cry.

Charlotte. N. C.. Sept. 19.—William J.
Bryan and party were greeted here last
evening by a crowd numbering about
6,000, and the reception was a most
cordial one. The special train pro
vided by the state Democratic commit
tee, bearing Mr. and Mrs. Bryan, Gov
ernor Glenn, Senators Overman and
Simmons, Congressman Webb, and the
committee of escort, arrived at 7:16
o’clock. The party was met at the de
pot by the mayor, aldermen and a com
mittee of citizens In carriages, and es
corted to the Southern Manufacturers'
Club, where a reception was tendered
the Nebraskan, followed by an Inform
al supper. At 8:15 o’clock Mr. Bryan
was escorted to an elaborately decorat
ed stand In Vance park, where he
spoke for an hour.
Talk to Laboring Mt.i.
One of the most significant speeches
of the day's Journey through the Tar
Heel state yesterday was made by Mr.
Bryan at High Point to a tremendous
crowd at 2:30 o’clock.
Senator Lee S. Overman Introduced
the Nebraskan. Noting the great num
ber of laboring men In his audience,
Mr. Bryan devoted the major part of
his talk to the relations of capital and
labor. Said he:
“As I look abput me, 1 look Intb the
faces of laboring men, and I cannot
thus see you without recalling the fact
that when I first entered politics, and
had taken a position on certain public
questions, there were those of- my
friends In my social circles, In the busi
ness world and among the literary
clubs, who severed their relations with
me. It was from the men whoso hands
had been hardened by toll, and those
who carry with them the dinner palls
that I had my support. I shall never
forget that In my campaign of 1896
there was Inserted In my platform
plank for arbitration between labor and
capital. Some will tell you that the
slfver plank drove away from me the
most of the support of the money class,
but I tell you It was not the sliver
plank, but the clause for arbitration
that drove them away far more than
silver. Again I Insisted that there
should be an arbitration plank, and
would not allow my party to take a
backward step when I believed they
were right, as I now' believe they are."
Arbitration Discussed.
Referring to arbitration between cap
ital and labor Mr. Bryan said:
“I do believe that If there were
Investigations and conferences looking
toward arbitration before the strikes
are entered Into that nine out of every
ten w'ould be settled before they are
fully begun. You hear an employer
■ay that he will run business to suit
himself, or shut down. That Is all
right, so long as he does not run any
one else’s business, and Interfere with
the liberty and pursuit of happiness of
his employee. I deny that there Is any
right to arbitrarily regulate any man’s
wealth and liberty and welfare. You
have heard me criticised for trying to
array class again class. You will not
find a speech In which I have done
such a thing. On the other hand, I
have tried to bring the people closer
together In nil things, and to make
peace always In all things.’’
An open nlr meeting at Salisbury
was prevented by a downpour of rain
and the speaking was held In the court
house. Here Mr. Bryan spoke for an
hour nnd then left for Concord.
Replies to 8«cr«tsry Shaw.
Fully 6,000 people greeted the speak
er at Concord. Here Mr., Bryan took
occasion to reply to the recent speeches
of Secretary Shaw on his tour of the
South.
The special train left Concord at
6:46 o’clock, following a 30-mlnute
speech, anil no stops were made be
tween that city and Charlotte.
Mr. Bryan was Introduced by Con
gressman E. Yates Webb. He devoted
his time to the recent speech In this
state of Secretary of the Treasury
Shaw, declaring sarcastically that the
secretary had given the people of North
Carolina “second hand tariff garments,”
in Ills speeches here. Mr. Bryan said:
••The people of Iowa, the secretary’s
native state, have repudiated those
stand pat Ideas of his on the tariff, so
he Is working them off on the South.”
He styled Secretary Shaw as the
“prince of stand patters.” "He prom
ises nothing on behalf of his party,”
Mr. Bryan said; “he belongs to thnt
faction of his party which believes thnt
the Republican party has always done
light, that It could no nothing wrong,
and that present conditions cannot be
Improved upon."
Quits North Carolina.
Closing a two-days’ tour of North
Carolina, in which he made prenrrnng
ed speeches In a dozen towns and rear
platform talks in half as many more,
William Jennings Bryan closed his en
gagements in this state in Charlotte,
and passed on to Columbia. There will
be but one speech delivered by Col
onel Bryan today. That will be at Co
lumbia and will be one of the most sig
nificant of the Southern tour.
