SAYS RAILROAD RUINED
AN OMAHA GRAIN DEALER
WHO “GO!' IN THE WAY"
Chicago, Sept. 19.—A. B. Stlckney
yesterday told the Interstale commerce
commission how a man who formerly
was a prosperous grain dealer at Oma
ha became penniless and Is now living
in 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
paying heavy rebates to the F. H.
Peavey Grain Company and demanded
of the road an equal rebate with the
Peavey Company. The.company prom
ised to "make it all right" wW.h him. If
he would turn over to It a letter which
had been Intended for the Peavey Com
pany, but had been misdirected and
hod 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 road what
im y i Y er . e 5 olnK to do <or hlm - The
official of tho railroad then became in
dignant and refused to discuss the
matter.
. I. he Rra,n dea,er himself then grew
indignant, and the result was that the
road "layed for him" and It was not
i°.o g o“. e .° re the * ra,n man, who had but
$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
h. M. S. Lellamy, one of the ruined
dealers, who is now on the way to Chl-
cago from Lexington, Nebraska, to tes
tify against the Union Pacific.

Robertson and Driver In-
When Motor Car
Strikes Pole.
jured
New York, Sept. 19.—George Robert-
mm and his machinist, Arthur Warren,
were probably fatally hurt In a smash-
up "ii the Vanderbilt course, near Mln-
neola, L. I.
Hnbertson 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 shamest on the
whole course, the big car swerved wide,
.“truck a telegraph pole, upset and flung
both Robertson and 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 nntf Shepard could
not see wnat was ahead of him. For
tunately for him, however, he slowed
up to take 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 had his machinist run his
car to the nearest telephone station and
call an ambulance from the Nassau
hospital at Mineola. When the atnbu
lance reached the place where the acci
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 nil over the body. Warren
hud both his arms broken and also was
injured internally. Neither of the men,
It was said, has much chance of recov
ery. ,

Speehl to The Georgian.
Charlotte, N. C„ Sept. 19.—William J.
Bryan and party w'ere greeted here last
evening by a crowd numbering about
5,000, 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 7:15
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, wher^
spoke for an hour.
Talk to Laboring Mi.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 about me, I look Into 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
trie. It was from the men whose 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 1898
there was Inserted In my platform
plank for arbitration between labor and
capital. Some will toll you that the
silver 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:
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 arc
fully begun. You hear an employer
say that he will run business to suit
himself, or shflt 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 brUiff the people closer
together In nil filings, and to make
peace always In all things."
An open air meeting at Salisbury
was prevented by a downpour of rain
and the speaking was held In the court
house. Here Mr. Brvan spoke for an
hour and then left for Concord.
Replies to Secretary Shaw.
Fully 5,000 people greeted the speak-
.. tit 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
5:45 o’clock, following a 30-inlnute
speech, and no stops were made be
tween that city and Charlotte.
Mr. Bryan was Introduced by Con
gressman K. 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
(’urollna "second hand tariff garments,”
In his 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 ns the
"prince of stand patters.” "He prom
ises nothing on behalf of his party,"
Mr. Bryan said; "he belongs to that
faction of his party which believes that
the Republican party has always done
right, that It c- uld no nothing wrong,
and that present conditions cannot he
Improved upon."
Quits North Carolina.
Closing a two-days’ tour of North
Carolina, In which he made prearrnng
ed s|»eeches 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.
