NEARLY A RIOT.
ConYicts at Penitentiary OBJ
ieeted to the Scant Fare.

There was a commoticn at mess In the
penitentiary at Lansing yesterday. a
convict started shuf1iug his feet because
he did not get his due portion of pigs
feet rations. Shutting Of the feet is the
convicts sign OF impatience, and when
one began it yesterday half a dozen
others joined in the protest against their
slim ra1ions- Guards in their quarters
heard the shuh1ing and ran in with their
guns. The conyicts had just filed in
from the chapel where they had been
listening TO a talk by Bruce Lynch,
former warden He is very well liked
by the prisoners and they were in jovia1
hu1ncr. The guards had no trouble in
securing order and quiet
It is q popular idea that the prison
fare is scant, but the officers say that
the fact Is that the prisoners have been
well fed all along Tt IS also a fact that
the appropria ton for f0odstuffs for the
balance of the fiscal year ending June 80,
is down to S6. 600.
Governor Stanley teIephoned over to
the peuItentfary this morning asking
about Sundays trouble. The reply was
a denial that there had been any trouble
at all beyond a half dozen convie1s
shEff7fng their feet. which subsided upon
the calling in Of the guards. Others say
the whole dining room was in an up
roar

SLAP AT Topeka.
Differential Rate on Grain is
Abolished.
Serious Blow For the Kansas
Milling Interests.

Today the f1ve cent differentiaI rate
on grain shipments which the Topeka
dealers have had for the past thirty
years viii be abolished and the nat Mis-
souri, river rate substituted by the rail-
roads This order has been pending for
several months but was only recently
issued.
The board Of railroad commissioners
which the executive council Of the state
viii appoint next week viii be given a
chance to pass on the legality. Of this
ruling
AS prominent grain man said this
morning. Tt Is a direct slap in the face
for Topeka Il e evidently a diserimina-
ton IN favor Of Kansas City. By the
enforcement OF this ruling 1t means a
cost to the elevator and milling interests
of Topeka Of a sum amounting to about
$100 per day
Continuing ne said. Under these con-
d1tlons would not give a dollar for a
mill IN Topeka. Unless the differentiaI
is again placed in erect it is my opinion
be effectively kiIl4d 50 far as the ship
ping business IS concerned
The mfllers have announced their in
tenti0n Of fighting the proposition They
viii take this case to the courts to test
the validity Of the new board OF railroad
commissioners.
It i not unlikely that charges viii be
made and considered in the interstate
commerce investigation to be held in
Kansas City next Thursday.
Under the provisions Of the old tariff,
in connection with the milling in transit
privilege watch still remains in force,
the n1fIfers were enabled to bring grain
into Topeka fpr cents per 100 pounds
less than the rate to Kansas City On
the -four which they shipped east, pro-
vided it was placed On the cars within
the time limit required by contract they
paid cents per hundred additional
freight to Kansas City. thus making the
rate On grain shipped through. the fat
Missouri rate.
Tie order which goes into effect Mon
day requires the payment Of the first
nat Missouri river rate On all grain
shipped into Topeka whether It stops
here or NOT. The disadvantage to the
miIlers. it IS claimed. lies m the fact
that Il viii increase the cost Of grain
used for home and Kansas consumption
cents per 100 pounds and in addition
the payment of the Missouri river rate
on grain niIled IN transit for the east
eFn market IN one instead OF two pay
ments will tie up cents OF the milsers'
money for every 100 pounds OF wheat
he has In store. Thus 1t is asserted If
a miller has Ig0. .080 bushels of wheat IN
his elevator which be intends to grind
and ship east, ne IS deprived Of the use
Of 5000. which is tied up in freight rates
during the time the wheat Is N his bins
