HEARS WICHITAS COMPLAINT
Interstate Commerce Commission to Bit
Next Wednesday.
SANTA FE ACCUSED Of DISCRIMINATION
other Roads, Also, Are ia he Put
on the Carpet 60 Tell why
Freight Rates Are So
Variable.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 19.-The interstate
commerce commission on Wednesday, Sep
TENDER "a. will begin at wichita, Kan.
hearings in the cases Of the mayor and
city council against the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe Railroad company for alleged
discrimination in charges on export grain
from Wichita to New York, the contention
being that the rates are too high as com
pared with those from Kansas City to
New York. II is further represented that
the company permits shippers at Kansas
City to hold grain shipped to them from
other points indefinitely and finally allows
them to ship Il from Kansas City TO Gal
weston or New Orleans for is cents per
100 pounds. and that on through shipments
from Wichita to Galveston the rates are
based on the. local rate to Kansas City,
plus IA cents from Kansas City to CAL
weston, although the natural route for
such tramc is direct from Wichita and not
through Kansas City. 1t is alleged also
that the same situation exists with refer
ence to rates on -four and other products
from Wichita to Galveston and New Or
leans ~
The allegation is further made that the
same railroad has violated certain sections
Of the interstate commerce law in that
rates on coal and stock from Wichita TO
Mindo, Mo-, McAlester, 1. T., and Russell
Vile, Ark, are higher than to Kansas
City and St Joseph, though Wichita Is
nearer the coal mining towns named. 1t
is still further claimed that the Atchison
and the Missouri Pacific railroads have
been guilty OF making unreasonable rates
on shipments OF sugar to Wichita.
The commission also will hear the case
OF Wichita against the Illinois Central
Railroad company, ,involvingsrates on ba-
nanas, the claim being made that the rates
from New Orleans to wichita are unreal
sonable as compared with those from New
Orleans to Denver, Kansas City and
Omaha. -.
The otherScases to be tried are the fol-
lowing: Mayor and Council OF Wichita
against, the Rock Island railroad, involv-
ing discriminating rates on lumber in car
load lots; against the Missouri Pacific
Railroad company for undue prejudice in
the matter of rates on -four from Wichita
and other points in Kansas and Missouri
to points in Texas, and against the Frisco
railroad and others for the establishment
of class and commodities rates from Louis
willie and Cincinnati to Wichita, It being
alleged that they are unreasonable when
compared with such rates to Oklahoma
City, Okl.
In answering the allegations the rail-
roads set up. as a defense, dissimilar cir
cumstances and conditions, such as COM
petition. density Of trAfnc, number Of rail-
roads, population, ETC., and generally deny
any violation Of the interstate
law.

CLEMSON COLLEGE Chat

Williamsburg's Bright Boys Promo.
ted-Corps of Cadets May
Visit State Fair.

CLEMSON COLLEGE, s. c., Sept
29-Special: The regular routine
of college work has now begun in
earnest. All of the professors are at
their post of duty and the students
are hard at work. Several new ad-
ditions have been made to the corps
of instructors, and Clemson now
ranks as one of the leading institu-
tons of its kind in the Southern
States.
DR. Nell, the new president, grows
in favor with faculty and students
alike. He is certainly ain ideal man
for the important position which he
occupies. Under his able admins
tration vast improvements have al
ready been made. The campus and
surroundings have been much beau
titled under his excellent manage
ment and judgement.
There is some probability of the
corps going down to Columbia du-
ring Fair week. Of couse, all of the
boys are anticipating a fine time
should they be so lucky as to 60.
The foot, ball team is hard at work
practicing, and they hope to win
fresh laurels in addition to the
long list of brilliant victories already
credited to them on the gridiron.
The first game of the season will be
played next Saturday on the campus.
The game, however, which all of the
students look forward to is the one
with Clemson's old rival, Carolina,
which will take place in Columbia
during Fair week.
At the recent appointment Of tof-
ficers, the following students from
Williamsburg were among the lucky
ones promoted: S G Bryan, G 0
Epps, and S 0 O'Bryan. All these
were appointed cadet sergeants.
