COM MMERCE INQUIRY
Interstate Commission Does Some
Probing at Kansas City
and Returns.

Kansas City, Jan. 1.-THE inter
state commerce commissioners spent
six hours yesterday and examined sew
on witnesses regarding grain rates
rom western points to the Atlantic
seabOard and other eastern destina-
tions. They returned to Chica go
Thursday night after announcing that
the investigation would be resumed in
that city on Jan. "a. when it is be-
lieved big railway officials will be
called. The expected rush of railroad
officials and grain shippers here to
confess that they had made and re-
ceived freight rebates or cut rates did
not occur. In fact, what information
was elected was obtained only after
persistent questioning on the part of
the commissioners.
The most direct admission was that
of John A. Robinson, of the firm Of
Hall x Robinson, of Kansas City,
which controls the export grain busi-
ness of the Missouri Pacific. Robinson
admitted that W. ID. Stith, freight
traffic manager OF the Missouri Pa
cific. made him rate on export grain
of from to cents per 100 lower than
the published export tariff.
Other testimony went to show that
Kansas City was made to suffer from
discrimination by through lines be-
cause of the arbitrary rate on grain
in effect here. Only three members Of
the commission attended the hearing
Judson G.. Clements. of Georgia; Chas.
A. Prouty, of Vermont, and James ID.
YeOmanS, of Iowa.

GAME SLICK ENOUGH
But 1t Only Melted the Gang So in
This Particular
Case.

Dillshorc. Ind, Jan. IA new
swindle is being worked in Ripley
county. Two strangers appeared at
the home Of Il farmer named Hume,
and offered to supply him with an elec-
trio battery that would produce sutti-
cient electricity To illuminate his house.
The regular price was S2I, but this
farmer, being an influential citizen,
was given special rate of 50. The
farmer signed Il contract agreeing to
pay the amount asked; the strangers
promising to leave the contract with
him.
As soon as he signed his name,
however. they took the contract from
him, it is alleged. and slipped it into a
self-addreSsed envelope, sealed IT.,
handed it back to the farmer, and adj
mitted that they had defrauded him,
but defied him to open their mail.
They left the house and returned in an
hour. During their absence the farm
er opened the envelope. and found it
to contain d contract whereby he was
TO pay 50 n joint for necessary pip
ing" which would amount to about
$1,000. The men, finding the contract
destroyed. demanded reparatiOn in
5000. and then dropped to 800, and
finally accepted 50 and withdrew.
