A Washington special to the Globe-pem-
ocrat says: THE interstate Commerce
commission today. in an opinion by Com
missioner Prouty announced It's decision in
the matter of alleged unlawful rates and
practices In tho transportation OF grain and
grain products by the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa he Railway company and 9th
ers. Shipments OF grain were carried TO
Kansas City, Mo. from points west
thereof nj local rates, and quantities OF
grain were afterward reshippcd and re
billed from Kansas City TO Chicago or
other destinations at the balance OF tho
established through rate from the original
point of shipment 10 Chicago or other ulti-
mate destination, instead of the higher
local rate in force from Kansas CITY to
such destination There was no agree
mont for through carriage between shipper
and carrier at the original point OF ship
mert, 40 other destination than Kansas
City was named, and upon carriage of the
grain to that point and delivery 10 con

balance Of through rate" than would re-
suit from dcducting the local rate between
the actual point OF origin and Kansas City
from the through rate between said point
Of origin and the final destination. and
other rate manpulatIons were possible.
II Is held that such shipment and re-
shipment did not constitute thorough
shipment from the point OF origin to the
n1int Of final destination. and grain so
shipped and reshipped was not entitled 10
