RADIO. Last year there we're rumors that
some of the executive officers were
engaged in defrauding the order. The
state auditor made an investigation.
He found that the books were loosely
kept, that a fraudulent death claim had
been paid, and that the business was be-
ing badly managed. On his recon-
mendatlon the attorney general last Feb
ruary began suit In Whiteside county
to GUST the officers. The suit is still pend
ing.
Some days ago a bill was filed in the
circuit court alleging that the officers were
seeking to evade the Jurisdiction of the
courts Of this state; that they had called a
meeting to be held in Des Moines, Ia. on
August 18th next, at which it was pro-
posed to surrender the Illinois charter of
the body and to establish its headquars in
Iowa, and that the accused officers pro-
posed to remove the books and papers of
the corporation from this state.
On this showing Judge Tdthill yesterday
issued an injunction which was suppressed
for service until today, forbidding the
holding of the proposed meeting in Des
MONIES, and restraining the officers from
removing the books and papers. or copies
of them. from this state, as proposed; also
forbldding the suspension Of any members
prior to the regular meeting to be held in
Springfield, November 18th next.

CONSIDERABLE REDUCTIONS.
The 1nter-S State Commerce Commission
Orders the Rates to be Reduced

WASHINGTON, Aug 1.-The Interstate
commerce commission has issued and will
send out tomorrow, an order to take effect
September list, for the reduction of the
rates on food products based on the re-
port sent to the senate on June 7th The
order is accompanied by report; also the
opinion of the commissioner, over ruling
the protests and notions of the roads to
dismiss the case for want of jurisdiction
This opinion reviews the powers and
duties of the commission in the matter of
beginning and conducting investi cations,
and the commission holns that It's pro-
ceedings are legally sufficient and the re-
ductlon is necessary to make the rates
reasonable.
The reduction is made to apply only to
corn, oats, wheat. and flower carried from
Iowa. Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska to
Chicago, st. LOUIS and the Mississippi
river.
The reduced rates are from the Missouri
river to Chicago on corn and oats II cents;
wheat and -four 20 cents. From Kansas
and Nebraska points, corn Is to %; wheat
81 to q.
The reductions extend 100 miles into
Nebraska and $50 miles into Kansas from
the Missouri river; where the rates are
fractional the roads may charge even cents,
which considerably modifies the reduc-
tons.
No reduction is required which will
leave the roads less than 81 mills per ton
per mile for hauls not longer than 500
miles, nor less than miles for any dis
lance. AS to rates east of the Mississippi
river, the commission says:
THE rates from Chicago and st. Louis
the Mississippi river now charged on, oats,
wheat and flour to the eastern sea-board
are not found to be excessive; the charges
on other principal food products between
the Mississippi and the sea-board are in
volved in the pending complaints and
therefore no order as to these rates and
charges will be now issued
