he was tired of life and wished death
would overtake him.
Three years ago Duboit lived in Wichita

he claimed to have wandered all over
the United states. He returned to this
city last Wednesday without a cent and

CITY BRIEF HAS
BEEN COM PLETED
Railroads are Charged With
Discrimination.
WICHITA HAS STRONG CASE
Arguments offered Bring Out
Points COntended.

City Attorney Helm with s. S. Ash
baugh and George Adams yesterday COM
pleted the brief which win be submitted
10 the interstate commerce commission
in regard to the unjust discrimination
which has been practiced against this
city by the railroad companies centering
here. The matter was thoroughly gone
over in the hearing before the interstate
commerce commission. held several
months ago, and the details Of the mat
ter are familiar to every one who is at
all interested in the matter The brief
has been given to the printers and in a
few days, probably a week, will be sent
TO the commission. 1t cannot be told
when the commission viii consider the
matter there are many complaints
from all over the country to consider
The city is confident that the case is so
strong that the commission viii give them
a decision which will be favorable.
1t has been known by local dealers that
for years this city has been Disseminated
against by different roads in favor OF
eastern ana southern points, but this is
the first time that the city has ever taken
action to demand justice.
1t viii be remembered that many Of the
rates have been reduced since the city
made the first complaint, and since the
brief of the lawyers has been in process
OF construction there have been other re-
auctions.
OF course it is problematical what the
Il 4l,.o hut
there has been strong evidence offered
and the attorneys for the city are of the
impression that they have a good case.
The argument which introduces the
brief is strong one and shows why the
city is entitled to a REIMBURSEMENT of the
rates. There are five complaints made re-
garding rates and they have been printed
many times. but do not lose interest to
those who are concerned in the welfare
Of the city.
The first rate in which the city claims
discrimination is the rate on grain and
grain products The details of this have
been gone into time and again and in a
few words it amounts to this: The rate
on grain and grain products from Kansas
City to the Gulf is IS cents while it is
now 2Sia cents from Wichita
On sugar the rate from Colorado points
or all roads to Wichita excepting the Mis-
souri Pacific, is 3212 cents per hundred,
while the rate to Kansas City is % cents
per hundred
on coal from McAlester to Wichita the
rate is $3.50: to Kansas City. $40 From
Russelville TO Kansas City. $40; from
Russelville to Wichita. $3.50.
Lumber is in no better condition The
rates from points in Arkansas, Louisiana,
and Texas 10 Kansas City are % cents
and to Wichita are 2Sl5 cents per hundred.
The rates on grain and flour to Texas
points is another point in question and
one which is of Great interest TO the
millers and grain dealers in southern
Kansas AS it now stands grain can be
shipped at a scent less rate than flour
and this the milers object to.
The brief which is a large document.
will he filed in few days but it will he
impossible to tell when the commission
will render an opinion in the case.
