Mr.. Smith placed in evidence before
the commission a number of statements
covering the question of rail and water
lines in and out of Charleston. He also
produced statements showing the small
differentials from Chicago to the various
north Atlantic ports, including Norfolk
and above. The same conditions he
said. held true in differen'tials from Chi
cago to the Pacific coast, including the
whole line from Astoria to San Diego
MIR. Bryan stated to the commission
that he had endeavored to subpoena r.
M. Arnold. general freight agent of tho
Monon route. but had not been able to
reach him. He asked. therefore, to
place in evidence q letter from Mr. Ar
mold to the Charleston bureau conveying
the same assurances contained in the
letter presented Tuesday from Mr.
Campbell. of the Chicago and East IL
linois Railway.
MIR. AItNOLD'S ARG U1AI1CNT.
Mr. Arnold, referring particularly to
the rice trade, said his road would be
very glad to pro-rate With the lines
south of the Ohio as they wee doing
With the lines TO Mobile and New Or
leans. But he added, this spirit was
not shared by the southern roads and
said: so lonS as the bars are put IN
by the southern roads at the Ohio river,
it will be impossible to come to any
reciprocal arrangement"
Counsel Baxter took up the cross ex-
animation of Mr.. Smith ard furnished
a surprise to the compliments by pro
ducinS pamphlet issued by the com
mercial bodies of Charleston booming
the city as rapidly growing manurac-
turing center and promising port of en-
try and export. Judge Baxter went
over the claims advanced in the
Charleston pamphlet. showing increases
OF many hundreds of thousands of del
lars in various branches OF trade and
manufacture and asked Mr.. Smith how,
IN the face of this shown. Charleston
claims to be oppressed and barred out
oy the railways from development
Mr.. Smith declared his ignorance of a
number of che specific claims advanced
IN the publication, and ended by saving
that he considered the circular as a
rule inaccurate and misleading as to
the real situation
This closed the case with the eScep-
tlon of some dispositions Which the com
