ALLEGED DISCRIMINATION.
Railways Charged with Making I'm
equal Freight Rates

KANSAS CITY, Mo, April 2S.-Wichita,
Kan, through its Chamber of Commerce.
has presented petition to the Interstate
commerce Commission complaining against
the railroads for alleged discrimination in
freight rates. The railroads are charged
with discriminating in grain rates in favor
of Kansas City. The main point in the
contention is that while Wichita is much
nearer the ports on the Gulf of Mexico. the
same rate on grain is charged as over the
longer haul from Kansas City to the same
points. A hearing of the Interstate-com-
merce Commission to investigate the
charges will be held in Wichita before
June 10.
The roads against which the complaint
is directed are the. Atehison, Topeka &

in the course of his speech accepting
the presidency OF the association, told
the following story: "A lady was pass
ing through the wards Of an over
crowded military hospital when she
suddenly encountered two men saving
and hammering on some boards. She
looked at them in some surprise and
wonderingly asked: What are you do
ing there, my men,? They looked up
at her and one of them said: What
are we doing? Why. we are making a
coffin, that's what we are doing "A
coffin?' she asked. For whom are you
making a coffin?' For that fellow over
there in that bed. Don't you see hin? 2
The lady looked in the direction indi-
Gated and saw a man apparently in
good condition and watching the oper-
alton with great interest. Why, that
man is not dead. and, indeed, he does
not look as IL he were going to die
Can't you postpone this work. No.
the men said, we can't postpone 1t.
The doctor told us to make the coffin,
and he knows what he gave him."
