INTERSTATE COMMERCE
COMMISSION REPORTS
A Decision Rendered in Case Against
the Norfolk and Western Rail-
way Company and Others.

By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Washington, Dec. 24.Thc Interstate
commerce commission today, in an
opinion by Chairman Knapp, rendered
it's decision in the case of the National
Wholesale Lumber Dealers association
versus the Norfolk and Western Rail-
way company and others. The follow
ing important facts appear in the de-
cisiOn:
Lumber in carloads is shipped from
points in West Virginia and Southwest
ern Virginia to New York city over the
Norfolk and Western railway to Hagers-
town and thence via the Pennsylvania
railroad to destination, and over the
Norfolk and Western to Shenandoah
junction and thence via the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, under rates made by
adding to those of the Norfolk and
Western. to Hagerstown and Shenan-
doah Junction, IL specific or arbitrary
rate of thirteen cents per one hundred
pounds, charged by the Pennsylvania
and Baltimore and Ohio, respective-
ly. This specific rate was advanced
from twelve to thirteen cents in
1898. and the Norfolk and Western
charges were generally increased in
1899 and 1900. about one and half
cents per one hundred pounds. Much
lower rates on competing lumber have
been and are maintained from neigh
boring points in the same shipping sec
tion to New York by the Baltimore and
Ohio and by the Chesapeake and Ohio
railway, connecting with the Baltimore
and Ohio at Staunton and the Pennsyl-
vania railroad at Washington. The
Norfolk and Western line is consider
ably longer than the Chesapeake and
Ohio line, but present rates by the Nor
folk and Western yield higher rates per
ton per mile than those OF the Chesa-
peake and Ohio line. The rates from
Norfolk and western points to Phila-
delphia. Pa. are six cents lower than
those for the ninety miles greater dis
tance to New York, while on the
Chesapeake and Ohio the difference in
favor of Philadelphia against New
York is only two cents. Upon all the
facts and circumstances. the commits
sion holds that the through rates COM
planned Of are unreasonable and un-
lawful, and that there should be an
aggregate reduction in the through
rates of two and a half cents per ono
hundred pounds.

Moore and Mrs. krueger to take the
little one, but she clung to her father
and screamed.

girl to go with her mother. Krueger
sprang up and shouted that he could
not do it. At that moment the two
women seized the girl and dragged her
from the court room. krueger's eyes
filled with tears and it was evident that
he suffered intense agony. He was cal
led to the bar and severely censured by
Judge Evans for refusing to tell his
child to go with her mother. Krueger
said that he was unable to control his
feelings.

with thousands OF bundle laden holi-
day shoppers making eleventh hour
Christmas purchases after having lab

impression that the merchants practi-

Derience has proven this to be the ex-

SO dense was the crowd of bustling

stores that they had to be formed into

to the back of the store had to walk
down the right side and those desirous
