GUT OFF uFFEHNI|AL
Is the Object of Another Com
plant Filed by City
AGAINST 20 RAILROADS
And to be Pressed Before the
Interstate Commerce
Commission.
AGAINST 20 RAILROADS

Wichita has filed another complaint
against the railroads. Mayor Mclean
yesterday signed the complaint to be
filed with the Interstate Commerce COM
mission and it Will be fled at the earliest
possible date. The complaint alleges
unjust determinations by twenty
railroads in the matter of freight rates
on grain and grain products from this
city and other Kansas and Missouri
points to Texas.
A number of years ago the railroads
having business in Texas agreed TO make
differential OF cents per hundred
pounds on grain and -four. At that time
there was not enough grain raised in
some parts of Texas to supply the mills
A number of large mills had been estab-
lished in the Lone Star state and these
could not be operated all of the time
with the supply of grain III the state.
Kansas milIers could ship -four TO Texas
and sell it cheaper than the Texas mill
ers because the latter had to come to
Kansas to get their wheat and it seemed
ten years ago that the big milling COM
for this reason the railroads made the
scent differential in favor of the Texas
points, on grain and -four.
Since that time the matter has turned
around. Texas raises plenty of wheat.
but the milers can come to Wichita and
buy Kansas wheat and ship it 20 Texas
and grind it and then sell the -four
cheaper than Kansas nillers could. Be-
sides. IL is alleged, the Texas millers
can pay higher prices for Kansas wheat
than the local mfllers can On account
OF this alleged discrimination and pref
udice This differential does not apply
or the same products shipped to Kan
sas and Missouri points, and the COM
plant says that this rate is not war
ranted by any increase in cost of SER
vice.
In 1890 a suit similar to this one was
brought before the Interstate Commerce
commission and at that time the com
mission, when fully cognizant of the
facts, decided that the differential was
justihable and refused to change the rate.
claiming that it would mean the failure
OF number of companies in Texas. The
Kansas millers were satisfied at that
time with this decision
But since that time. the complaint al
leges, that the conditions have mater
iaily changed and the rate has not, and
this has been working hardship against
the Kansas and Missouri millers and
grain men. and the Wichita people are
gcing into the fight to force the railroads
to cnange their present tariffs.

DANGER IN SEA BATHING
Noted Physician Advises Care and
Moderation

New Haven, Conn, June AIN an ad-
dress to the State Medical association
yesterday the president, Dr. john H.
GRAMS of Saybrook, said that the re-
suits of his practice and long observa-
ton have convinced him that there is
danger in frequent sea bathing. He said:
That salt water bathing is a panacea
for al ills seems somehow to be a pre-
vailing impression. People from the in
terror are particularly convinced OF it.
and practice it very freely in their out
ings at shore and watering places. But
from my personal observation l am con-
WINGED that sea bathing is overestimated
as benefit-or rather. it is overdone.
I am accustomed to saying that for
the average child or adult the maximum
o. benefit is obtained by not more than
one-half hour week, five minutes every
day, or ten minutes on alternate DAYS;
and, further. If after thorough rubbing.
there remains feeling OF iassitude. an

PERIL IN ONE MANS POWER
Wall street Feels That Too Much De-
ponds on Morgan.

New York. June AT conferences held
yesterday and today by men powerful in
Wall street the prudence of having de-
pendence upon the health and judgment
Of any one man such gigantic interests
as are now being guarded by J. P. Nor
gan was discussed.
The object of these conferences was to
safeguard, not only the many enterprises
with which Mr.. Morgan is connected,
but also to protect others of the clients
in which Wall street is concerned.
The unsatisfactory condition of the coal
strike negotiations and the undguised
opposition of large English and German
owners to Mr.. Morgan's latest coup,
the steamship combination. were the
prime factors which led to the confer
erce. For weeks these matters have
engrossed the attention of Wall street
leaders, and the discussion of them was
marked by the greatest earnestness.
