When he was 30 his eldest son, Emc-
ry, was 81 and this ratio seems TO
have been preserved TO the present
time, Emery Grams only son, Fred,
attaining his majority when his
father was 30. Loren's eldest son,
Monroe, was q when his father
was 80. His only son, BERTHE, will be
q when his father is 80. Also Wes-
ley Grams eldest son will reach his
DIST year when his father shall have
passed the regular family time of 80
years. Fred Grams eldest daughter
will attain her DIST birthday when her

RATES ON GRAIN SHIPMENTS.
Interstate Commission Renders an
ODipion as to Lake Carriers.

The Interstate. Commerce Commission yes
terday In an opinion by Commissioner
Knapp, announced its decision in the case
of Paine Brothers Co, against the
Lehigh Valley Railroad Company and
Others. The commission decides that the
carriers established rates on 'eX-lake"
grain from Buffalo, N. Y, to New York
and Philadelphia, and points taking New
York and Philadelphia rates, which were
lower on so-caled cargo lots OF 10000
bushels uf oats and s, 900 bushels of other
grain in carload lots, but afterwards
modified their tariffs so that, with few
exceptions, the lower rates for cargo lots
were restricted to export shipments.
Such modification OF tariffs removed
the principal grievance complained OF.
and no evidence was offered concerning
rates on shipments OF grain for export
1t is held the principle involved under
lower Rates for cargo or tran-load guam
titles than for carload shipments, whether
for export or domestic use, violates the
rule of equality and tends to defeat its
Just and wholesome purpose; and such
purpose is not fully accomplished by ma h
ing all cargo shippers pay the same rate
and charging all carload shippers alike
That defendants should reconsider their
grain tariffs with a view to amendment
thereof in accordance with the opinion
herein expressed. and that the case he held
open for such further action as may be
deemed appropriate.

COAL coNF1scATIoS ILLEGAL.
If In Transit Railroad Companies
Have No Right to Take 1t.

Attorney General McKenna declines to
discuss the matter OF coal confiscation by
railroads in the Ohio Valley, as the matter
may possibl v come before him eventually for
Official action. President Morrison, of
the Interstate Commerce Commission, has
not yet heard that any interstate question
has developed in the coal strike, and he
therefore has not given the matter any
consideration. 1t is stated positively at
both offices that the railroads have no right
whatever to take coal that sin their hands
as common carriers, any more than the
United States postoffices can legally take
a letter confided to them for delivery to a
lawful address. One of the Interstate
Commerce Commissioners said:
IF the railroads contract to deliver coal
to given points at certain time, as such
contracts are always dra wn, the coal can
not be legally Celia yed in transit or taken To
other points without rendering TIE trans
portation company liable i'm the courts.
If the owners of the coal have, however,
made private arrangements with the Iail-
roads permitting them to confiscate the
coal at market prices, nobody else can in
teIfeTe Railroads have sometimes seized
coal in transit for their own use, claiming
that contact for carrying the mail per-
mitted them to resort TO any method of
keeping theircontract with the Government.
Such plea is ridiculous. The United
States never had right TO compel reoIle
to steal to carry mail, and the Government
could not legitimatize such proceeding by
any power il possesses"
