In the two states, the same question has
arisen on account of the action Of the rail-
roads some months g IN changing the
system OF charging freight rates on live
stock from dollars per carload to cents per
100 pounds. Both state boards ordered the
restoration OF the carload rates. and the
companies obeyed the order pending a final
decision on the complaint against the sys-
tenn of charging In cents per 100 uonds.
The Nebraska board is inclined to believe
hat the computation of rates in cents per
100 pounds Is the correct way. providing 1t
does not increase the charges above the
cost under the old rates.. COMMISSIONS
Campbell, of the Kansas board. was Of
that same opinion for awhile. but for some
reason has changed his mind. 1t is said
hat he saw where he thought he could
make some political capital out of the mat
ter for the Pop party by switching. Chair
man billiard Is somewhat undecided, and
Lewelling thinks that the carload rates
should be permanently continued. Some
of the heavy cattle shippers of Kansas
vince the, Nebraska board that dollars per
carload was the better basis. The Ne
braskans listened attentively. but showed
no signs Of being converted. No conclusion
was arrived at at the conference. The Ne

The game was witnessed by one of the

Cornells acceptance OF both. the statement
says:
IF Yale names the place Of the race this

and there is no need Of any proviso in ac-
cepting her challenge. Yale's suggestion Of
q willingness to merge her race of this
year in a triangular race also is accepted,
once the race is agreed upon. Cornell asks
to name the place of the Yale-Cornell race
next year. She, Of course, does not hereby

MIDGLEY ISSUES CIRCULAR.
Tells Why Meetings Were
Dn.r~-Ad


It is authoritatively stated that Chair
man Midgley, of the Western Joint Traffic
bureau, has issued a circular to the general
of the Western lines denying that
the Pittsburg & Gulf has been cutting ex-
port grain rates from Kansas City to New
Orleans and Galveston. The chairman
says that since December 6. when the rates
on grain were advanced from. the 15-cent
basis to Is cents for corn, and q cents for
wheat, the Pittsburg & Gulf has carried
very little grain out of Kansas City, only
hauling through the accumulation Of grain
en- route at that time. He says no reduced
terstate commission. and that
the joint traffic bureau has no knowledge
of cut rates having been made.
Regarding the p~ostponement OF the meet
ing to have been held in Chicago January
Il, to consider the grain rate situation. he
phis road that 1t could not be represented
at that time. and a telegram from General
Freight Agent Sargent, of the Pittsburg
& Gulf. who was in the South, that it
would be more convenient for him to at
tend the meeting II held at a later date.
It. was accordingly postponed to January
10. and Mr.. Midgley says may be again
postponed for a few days.
He says the meeting to have been held
in Kansas City January Z, to compare
rates from Kansas City n st. Joseph to
points East n North, was postponed be-
cause several of the lines found it would
be in~convenient for e to attend on that
uary is. and the Pittsburg & Gulf will en-
deavo to AVE the same rates made from
Kansas City as now apply from st. Joseph
to much of the Northern territory.
