The Interstate-commerce Commission
held another session at New York yester-
day. Frank Harriott joint agent OF the
New York grain rate committee, was first
placed on the stand. He testified that when
he took charge of affairs of the committee
he found rates very much demoralized. He
said that the primary object of this joint
committee was not TO advance the rates
TO an exorbitant price. but to prevent the
cutting of the published rate. In response
to a question put by Commissioner Prouty
the witness said that during October of
this year the joint committee had main
tanned rate of cents per bushel on grain,
and that had they so desired they could
have made cents the rate. but he said
that IL would not have been possible to
have maintained any higher rate than
cents during October. He said that in his
opinion the Western Elevator Association
OF Buffalo. had been instrumental in lower
ing the grain rate from Chicago, Duluth
and other points by vessel to Buffalo He
further said that all the elevators in
Buffalo are in the association except sew
eral smaller ones. At this point the wit
ness was excused and the hearing was
closed

Shortly before the building was regularly
opened somebody happened to discover
that a theft had been committed. When
the extent of the felony was ascertained,
CONSERVATION reigned thereabouts. me
frames had been left lying In heap on
the floor while waiting for the carpenter
to hinge them to the wall. The thief must
have been hurried in hi. selection. He
might have taken a page or two of the
obsolete stamps, from the sale of which
he could have realized a snug little sum.
Instead OF that he carried off a page of
the $50 stamps, and another of the $40
issue.
Then Inspector Brown was brought up
on the scene. He had been sharpening
his wits during forty years upon that sort
Of unravellng, and in about a week he
was hot on the trail Of the thief. He found
that all the stamps had been carried 10
London. The rest was easy. In a couple
of weeks more he had all the stolen
stamps but half dozen back In safe keep
ing. He has his graphing irons out now
for the remainder, and, as he knows just
where each individual stamp is located
the valuable collection will not likely so

wiling to work, as they had no help from
