WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The inter state
commerce commission announced its de-
cision yesterday In the case of San Ber
nardino board of trade against the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe, and others, in
favor of the complainants. The COM
plant alleged the railroad company
charged more on certain specified COM
modties from Missouri river points, st.
Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati, Detroit and
New York to San Rernardino, CAL, than
for a longer distance over the same line
to Los Angeles. The points decided are
briefly stated as follows:
Where complaint alleged that greater
charge in aggregate for transportation Of
like kind property is made for shorter
than for longer distances over same line in
same direction, shorter being included
in longer, and that unlawful preference is
hereby given one locality over another,
it was held the complaint was sufficient
to put. the carriers on proof that services
were rendered under such dissimlar
circumstances as to justify greater
