FORTY RAILROADS
MADE DEFENDANTS
Interstate Commerce Commission
Proposes to Enforce Ruling on
Rates to the Seaboard.
ST. LOUIS SHIPPERS INVOLVED,
Charges to Norfolk and Richmond,
1t Is Asserted, Give Those
Ports an Advantage Over
Wilmington, Del.
ST. LOUIS SHIPPERS INVOLVED,

Washington Aug. 1.-THE Interstate
Commerce Commission to-day filed suits in
the United States Court at Wilmington. y.
c., against forty railroads to compel them
to respect the order of the commission pre-
venting discrimination against Wilmington
in favor of Norfolk and Richmond.
The suit grows out Of proceedings brought
by the Wilmington Tariff Association be-
fore the commission to prevent such dis
elimination.
Rates from st. Louis. Chicago. East st.
Louis and other Western points were much
lower to Norfolk and Richmond than TO
Wilmington.
The commission sat in Wilmington and
took good deal of evidence in the case.
1t found that the rates from Cincinnati and
Louisville to Norfolk were much lower than
those from ST. Louis and Chicago to Nor
folk. The rates from Cincinnati and Louis
Vile to Wilmington appeared to be just.
1t was decided that the basis of rates from
Cincinnanti, st. Louis, Chicago and Louis
Vile to Norfolk and the rates from CIn-
cinnati and Louisville TO Wilmington would
be n fair basis on which to compute just
rates from Chicago and St Louis to VIII
mington.
The railroads which inclIde the Southern
Railway, the Seaboard Air Line and the
Atlantic Coast Line, and practically every
other road of any Importance in the Mis-
sissippi Valley and the Southern States,
ignored the oIier.
As the commission has no legal machinery
to enforce Its orders. the matter was taken
into the Federal courts.

Suggestions were made yesterday that the
city acquire another half-mile strip of land
on the blu3 overlooking the Chain Of
Rocks station Of the Waterworks, to estab-
lish rlver-view park one mile long and
half mile wide.
At the Chain OF Rocks the Water Depart
ment owns land having a frontage of a
mile on the river side and a depth OF a
quarter of mile. back to the base of the
high hills that skirt the river at this point
For distance of half mile the property
extends UP the bluff and 100 feet west

Chain OF Rocks Park, consists Of plateau.
verging the river. in which are located the
pumping station buildings. six basins and
clear well. The distributing well IL in the
center, and the half-mile-long bluff, in the
background. commands an exceptionally
fine view of the Mississippi.
The plan advanced by Water Commission
er Flad contemplates acquisition by the
city of another half-mile strip of the bluff,
SO that the plateau will have a hill back
ground for its entire length. The park
would then be a mile long and half mile
wide. forming a square, except for the
shore-iine bend.
Improvements already made In the Chain
of Rocks Park indicate the promise that
this spot holds forth for conversion into an
attractive r1ver-vtew puonc recreation
place. The side and summit OF the olun
are covered with stately shade trees snrup-
berry ana flowers. Long stairways lead from
the hillock., on which the distributing Well
is situated. to the top, where rustic penches
have been placed underneath the trees.
