sail for that port within the next few
days. In Philadelphia the receipts last
week were large, and the showing for
this week is heavy. All this sugar is
entered as directed shipped prior to

SETS A SORT OF RAILWAY TRAP
And Hopes to Catch Some violators of ths
Interstate Commerce Law.

Interstate Commerce Law.
Washington, April 10.-The interstate
commerce commission is daily receiv-
ing replies to the circular sent Out
March 10 to the thirty-four railroads
comprising the Joint Traffic associa-
ton, calling for tabulated statements
OF the east-bound shipments Of grain
and grain products from Chicago to the
Atlantic seaboard. Although the time
fixed for making such reports by the
terms OF the circular expires TODAY /.
will probably be the end of the month
before all are in. No disposition has
been shown by any Of the railroads moi
to forward the reports. The inyestfea-
ton contemplated by the circular il
based upon complaints from time to
time Of rate-cutting carried on by re.
bates, drawbacks, etc.
The tabulated statements called for bv
the commission require the railroads tc
give a detailed account, with names
and dates, of each shipment from Jan
to March Is, from which the commits.
sion believes that any irregularities, re.
bates. etc, can be easily traced. AS the
law promises immunity to such as con.
fess violations it is not believed there
will be any disposition to conceal the
facts where violations have occurred
These reports, however. can be mad
the basis of prosecutions where they
lead to detections not acknowledged
After all the reports are in a hearing
will be given by the commission, prob.
ably at Chicago, the latter part of May
or early in June.
