all hotels and boarding houses that can
accommodate visitors to send in their names
TO CORES onding Secretary A. G. Harmon,
who will have printed lists prepared, and
these will be distributed among the
passengers on all the trains
as they came into the city.
Arrangements were made to provide on

best to have few of the entertainments

programme, this being done in order to
give visitors every opportunity to visit

1t is stated that the interstate COM
merce commission has employed a detec-
tive to get evidence about rebates and
special rates from merchants and So
Letting freight agents. The rebates, it is
said, amount, in some cases, to 10 per
cent and various methods are resOrted
to for the purpose of throwing railroad
commissions off the track. favorite
method is to allow the shipper liberal
claims for alleged damages.
