ILLINOIS GENTRAL FRAUDS EXPOSED

Inspector Teds How Gar Men Robbed the Railroad. That the Illinois Central Railway company was made to act as Its own highwayman—furnishing its own pistol, holdng the weapen to Its own head and plundering its own pockets— in connection with the alleged $1,500,000 fraud in the repair of freight cars, was disclosed at a hearing before Master in Chancery Roswell B. Mason in Chicago.

A most astounding tale of graft was unfolded when Harold A. Sims, former traveling car inspector for the railroad and later in the employ of one of the five car repairing' com panies that are charged with the fraud, told in detail how the railroad /furnished new cars to be torn .to pieces for use in the building of (me of the repair plants and the repair of old cars and then paid padded bills, not only for the work done, but also for the materials and time consumed in dismantling the new cars. To simplify the robbing of itself the railroad company induced Sims to enter the employ of the alleged robbers. , Here are some of the things, as disclosed by the evidence, that the alleged conspirators did: Dismantled Illinois Central freight cars to procure material to put into the construction of the plant of the Memphis Car company and then charged the Illinois Central road for repairing the dismantled cars. Took many parts from Illinois Central cars that were in good repair and used the parts to repair cars that were in bad order, charging the railroad company for stolen parts.

Repaired gqod order cars from which parts were stolen to repair had order cars, charging the company with the material used in both and for the labor of robbing the cars as well as repairing them. Secured materials from the Illinois Central company’s shops at Memphis with which to make repairs and then charged the Illinois Central for the material. 1 Had much of the woodwork necessary in the repair of cars done in the shops of the Illinois Central? at Memphis and then charged the Illinois Central for doing the work for itself. Charged for repairing one-half the brakes that came in, irrespective of whether or not any brakes were repaired. Padded the bills for labor approximately 40 per cent. Made a uniform charge for fourteen gallons of paint to a car, irrespective of whether any paint was used and regardless of the fact that a flatcar requires only from two to three gallons.
