PAUL MORTON'S POINT.
Cars Going East Come Back Loaded
Going to Galveston Come Back
Empty.

Kansas City. June 6.-Chairman w.
r. Morrison OF the Interstate com
meree commission is holding the hear
ing of the complaint made by the kan
sas board of railroad commissioners Of
discrimination against Kansas points
i'm freight rates to Galveston. A great
array of lawyers and railroad repre-
sentatiVes are present A. a Goddard
assistant attorney general of Kansas
took up the better part of the day in
arguing his side of the case He could
prove. he said. that the defendant rail-
ways have granted rates from Kansas
points to Kansas City and St Louis
lower than the published legal tariff.
If Mr.. Goddard succeeds in doing so
he VIII nail the railways on charge
punishable by Imprisonment and fines
or both.
FTe further AYERS that the present
rates to Gulf of MeXicO points from
Kansas towns are unjust and high in
comparison Wlth the rates TO
Kansas city, St Louis. and Chicago,
and that the same should be reduced in
justice to the Kansas producer.
Nearly all the sOuthw western roads
are involved
The proceedings have assumed larger
proportions thar We're at first anticipa-
ted and Chairman Morrison announced
during the day that after the evidence
in the original case is finished. he would
set date when the interstate COM
merce commission should take the case
Paul Morton third vice president of
the Santa F'e was examined at length.
He ass rted that the apparent discrim-
ination in rates against Galveston was
cue to the fact that cars running be-
tween Kansas points and ChicagO
could be loaded both ways. while cars
hauling corn to Galveston must be
brought back empty.
AN attempt was made to show that
the anglo-American provision company
was given special rates w. n. smith,
chief clerk for +. O. Midgley of the
freight transit inspection bureau testi-
fed that the company had shipped L.
459 cars of corn out of Kansas City
since February f. and that it had all
gone over one road. He said the bill
ing had been regular but that all grain
men believed the rate had been cut
from 1879 as shown i'm the bills to 10
cents 0r lower per hundred weight.
Charles Berry, commercial agent of
the Maple Leaf. admitted that rates
might have been cut by his superi0rs
at Chicago
III IT, Mcneil. local agent of the
anglo American company denied any
knowledge of an agreement between
ms company and the roads but admit
ted having bought grain here within
SIX cents of the Chicago price and hav-
lns shipped to Chicago when the best
open freight tariffs were over 10 cents.
7e could not explain how the company
c1uIu uO' business this way.

ASSESSMENT GOES UP.
It is Raised on the Property on Kan
sas Avenue.

saS Avenue.
City Assessor Willis Edison in making
his assessments for Topeka has raised
the appraisement of property on Kan
sas avenue from the south side of Fifth
streets to the north side Of Eighth
street.
The board of equalization, otherwise
the board Of county commissioners, is
now in session, considering the assess
ments made by Edison. 1t is found that
the raise in the assessments in the
three blocks on Kansas avenue viii
reach over $4,000 and perhaps as high
as S75. COO. Assessor Edison says the
per cent of increase viii be more than
10 per cent, and possibly Is per cent
over that of last year.
AS an example of the increase, the
FarnswOrth building, southwest corner
of Kansas avenue and Fifth street, was
assessed last year at SO, 500 and this
year it is raised to SO. 700.
There is some com plants on the in
crease, but it is thought there viii be
little reduction. Commissioner T. P
Rodgers said to a Journal reporter that
the board was heartily in accord with
the returns and the increases of Assess
or Edison.

THE SENATE INSISTS
On the Appropriations for Public
Buildings at New CapitoIs.


Washington, June 6-Mr. Allison
(Rep. Ia.) reported a partial agreement
on the sundry civil appropriation bill
He explained that a number Of items
were still open. including those for new
public buildings at Salt Lake City and
the capitols of the new states Of Idaho,
Wyoming and Montana, and additions
for the public buildings at Kansas City,
Savannah, Ga. and Camden, n. J.
But the house conferees positively re-
fused, said Mr.. Allison to assent to any
public building items.
MI Dubois made a vigorous plea for
public buildings at the new capitOls
He said that it was notorious that the
speaker OF the house and the chairman
of the house committee on public build
ings and grounds declined to approve
any new public buildings, and yet said
Mr.. Dubois, Speaker Reed resided in a
place with $4,000 people, with a public
building costing S1159, ,000 The district
represented by Chairman A1illilzen OF
Maine. of the house committee on pub
lie buildings, had federal buildings in
five towns.
Nj. Platt Rep. Comm thought the
senate should take a firm stand in insist
ing on all proper public improvements.
This government was not going into
bankruptcy After all the talk there
was a good deal of money in the treas
ury, perhaps improperly raised by
bonds, but nevertheless there.
After further debate the senate con
ferees were instructed to insist on all
the public building items. To empha-
size the insistance, a yea and nay vote
was taken.

Court.

Billy Hughes, of Everest. was ar
raigned in the Brown county district
court charged on ten counts with sell

ing a nuisance.
However, nine of the witnesses turn
ed states evidence when the trial came
off and Billy was convicted of only the
first and eleventh counts. and fined 5000
and sentenced to sixty days on each
count.
The court of appeals has just ruled
on Hughes appeal to it. Judge Clark
decided that the conviction on the first
count must be set aside. inasmueh as
the Brown county judge enormously
instructed the jury that it might con-
slider all the evidence submitted on the
ten counts for selling in arriving at
their verdict on the counts which the
states attorney elected to stand upon
for conviction.
Judge Clark also scores the county
attorney of Brown county for the in
different way in which the state proved
the count for maintaining a nuisance,
but decided not to vacate the judg-
ment on this count.

BLOW 1T UP.
That Is What the Press and
Public
Should Do With the Newly
Formed Powder Trust
BACKED BY MILLIONS.
The New Trust Has Already
Forced Up Prices.
Trust Controlled By Three Big
concerns.

New York. June 6.-The Herald this
morning says: What looks like a pow
der trust is now in operation backed py
many millions of dollars, and virtually
controlled by three big manufacturing
concerns which viii create the price OF
that commodity. The three companies
are the Latin and Rand Powder com
pany, the Hazard Powder company, and
the Dupont De Nemours company, all
Of this city.
As a result of the combination the
price of rifle powder or what is called
sporting powder has advanced from
1925 for a keg Weighing 25 pounds, to
S4 while blasting powder has been ad-
Vanced from 81 to $225 a keg- Ihe
schedule for other grades has been cor
respondingly advanced. The new or
der went into effect on May II, al
though the officials Of the companies
say there was no agreement between
them the fact that prices are advanced
on the same day to the same ngure
might seem to indicate there was

ces. Its stock is almost entirely own
ed by the Latin and Rand company.
and its present officers are to be re-
placed by others named by that COM
DdUN
The treasurer Geo S Van Wickle
said the transfer had taken place at the
end of May, and gave as a reason that
the company could not stand against
the combination of the three large
companies
we have had all we could do to
make ends meet since the company
was organized in 1888" he said, and
this latest move of the trust has been
too much for u.s.
The other officers were reticent about
the matter of a trust having been
formed. but talked freely Of the ad-
vance in the price of powder. They
prOfessed to have been losing money
for the last three or four years owing
to the falling off in prices.
The treasurer of the Hazard COM
pany said: THE company which is
one of the largest. had been doing a
business of many millions a year, but
has been running at a loss for some
time and decided to raise prices.
J A. Haskell. president Of the Latin
& Rand company, said in effect the
same thing, and that now the company
proposed to manufacture powder at a
profit we have several million dol
lars invested" " he said, and we We're
forced to raise the price"
Don't these three companies prac-
ticalIy control the output?'
Yes. practically; that is about so, -
he replied.

schedule of prices 2''
