INTERSTATE COMMERCE. COM
MISSION INVESTIGATING
FREIGHT RATES.
Several WITNESSES WERE EXAMINED
Drew of the Katy Explains 1t Is Less
Expensive to Carry Car Load Lots
Than Less Than Car
Load Lots.

st. Louis, Sept 29.-The interstate
commerce commission continued its in
veStigation of alleged unfair discrepan-
cies between car load and less than car
load rates on freight to Texas common
points today
G. A. Parker, traffic manager of the
Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain
roads, was the first witness. He tcsti-
fled that the actual effect of the existing
difference in the rates was to stimulate
car load shipments and to discourage less
than car loads. He thought there was
no specific purpose i'll making less than
car load rates as high as they were at
present He thought the rates were
maintained because no pressure had been
brought TO bear to have them reduced.
1t was the aim of his road to lower less
than car load rates whenever the car
load rates were lowered.
In response to questions of Mr.. Waite
of Spencer, Waite d Bartlett, hardware
dealers Of Chicago, and j. p. Farley,
manager of the Dallas freight bureau,
Mr.. Parker said that he believed that
with Il lower less than car load rate the
Texas jobbcrs could still do business
Wherever they 40 at present.
Mr.. A. Il. Drew, general freight agent
of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas, who
testified Monday, was again put on the
stand for cross examination. lie cX-
planned that the difference in the meth

car load lots and car load lots, his testi-
mony showing that it was more expensive
for the railway to handle less than car
load lots.
The effect of the present discrepancy
has been to force many jobbers to give
up their Texas trading. In the past yeal
or so, since the esta Enlistment of the pres

Here the complainant rested its case.
j. W. Van Cleve. representing the st
| Louis manufactures. was the first wit
ness for the defense. He said that tC
the local manufacturers, the narrowing
of the rates would he detrimental to thcil
interests. A reduction of less than cal
load rates would increase the manufac
turcrs' competition. 1t was safer and
better business to dispose Of manufac
tured goods to iobhcrs than to retailers
He thought the car load rate would cause

THE LAW PROHIBITS IT.
Immigration Commissioner Stumpf Reads
the Law Which Excludes Foreigners.

Washington, Sept. 20.-The attention
of Commissioner Stumpf of the immigra-
ton bureau was called today to the
movement looking to the colonization in
this country of Armenian refugees. Mr..
Stumpf said that Secretary Carlisle and
himself had been fully advised of such
Il movement and numerous appeals had
been made from Lady Henry Somerset,
Frances e. Willard and English and
American relief societies asking for the
cooperation of the government While
the sympathies of all good people must be
aroused in their behalf the officers of the
government must infOrce the laws as
they exist. The matter was being inves-
tigated and if any lawful means can be
found they would be exercised in behalf
of the refugees. The law on the subject.
however. strictly inhibits the landing in
this country of all persons likely to be-
come a public charge, and also any per-
son whoes ticket or passage is paid for
with the money of another or who is as
sisted by others to come.
Lady Henry Somerset, is is understood,
has inquired whether bonds would be
accepted that these Armcnians will not
become public charges and reply has
been sent that the department can not
accept bond except under special circum-
stances, and after thorough investigation
of each individual case
Mr.. Stumpf said he was in full sym
pathy with any movement looking to the
relief of the Armenian sufferers, but
"Sympathies can not be allowed to inter
fere with a strict enforcement of the
law
This being the case although Mr..
Stumpf did not so state, it seems alto
gether probable that the law necessarily
was found TO be an insurmountabc OBJ
stacle to the reception of the Armenans.

thorpe hotel. the leading hosiery of
Brunswick, was blown away and that
other big buildings were totally or par
