LEWELLING Ar HOME.
Reasonably Well Satisfied With the
Results Accomplished.

Wichita. April Ex-senator L. D. Lew
cling returned yesterday from Austin,
Tex, where he had been with Governor
Leedy and the state board of railroad
commissioners. They were there to meet
the interstate commerce commission.
Although they did not get just as much
as they desired in concessions, they ac-
cOmplished considerable.
They desired to have the freight rates
from Wichita reduced to the same as
given Kansas City. Instead of this the
board raised the rate that Kansas City
has to the same as given to this city.
The rate which Wichita has to the Gulf
is lower than at any other point in the
state.

a hack in the city, except a few
Chinese and japanese outfits,
took in less than so during the
day. Many made $25 to $40. One
hustler took in $62; another re -

Theo. II. Davies a. Company,
Limited, have withdrawn all OF
their corporation and steamship
agency advertising from the Bull
LETIN. In this they are perfectly
within their rights, but when the
reasons for their action, as given
by their Mr.. Swanzy, show that
the motive is coercion or revenge.
the public is eutitled to
know the perticu'ars of the case.
1t is charged that the BULLETIN
has not shown due consideration
for the interests of house that
has given this paper its patronage.
Instances are here given as stated
to the proprietor of the BULLETIN
by Mr.. Swenzy. Some months
ago a statement was printed In the
news columns to the effect that
the Davies corporation was going
to transfer its sugar exports from
the combination previously get
ting them to the Spreckels
concern in San Francisco. The
authority cited was letter re
ported to have been written from
England by Mr.. Davies, head of
the corporation, to his representa-
tive at San Francisco. Another
instance Of the BULLETINS incon
siderate treatment of the Davies
corporation is found in a para.
graph of the shipping column
some months ago. 1t quoted the
barbor master, Mr.. Fuller, as giving
all the blame to the steamer Mic
vera for the fouling of line ip
her propeller which caused a de-
lay in her leaving port. With re
gard to the first complaint, the
facts show the contrary OF want of
consideration on this side. When
the news was brought to the
editor, he told the reporter bring.
ing it to see the gentle
men in the Davies Office.
for corroboration or otherwise OF
the interesting intelligence. Mr.
Swanzy was seen by the reporter
and refused to give any informa.
ton on the matter, which he claim
ed in effect was the concern of no
body but the corporation itself. The
news was then published on wha,
has proved to be good authority.
Casually meeting the editor on
the street some days later, M.
Swanzy asked him for the author
ity. On being answered that if it
had been given to the reporter in
confidence which was not known
by the speaker at that moment
the BULLETIN could not break with
it's informant, Mr.. Swanzy said:
IL don't care what you put in your
paper. Only l was curious to
know where you had gotthe con
tents of private letter written by
Mr.. Davies" As to the shipping
item in question, an expression OF
the barber master, upon a matter
such as gives much trouble in
the harbor, WAS regarded
as quite important. OF coarse
there is some reason for sensi-
tiveness regarding the Miowera,
since her famous attempt to enter
harbor overland few years ago,
not to mention her staying on
the reef six weeks wher she might
have been got off in one tide-but
the BULLETIN cannotsuppress news
to save the feelings of steamships.
1t will not do 80 even to save its
own revenues from either sdver
tising or subscription. The Bull
LETIN has always shown much
consideration for the Davies and
the Canadian Australian Steam
ship Lines interest,", publishing a
