KANSAS CITY, Jan. 2.-The interstate
commerce commission will conduct an
other investigation of alleged .manipuIa-
ton of grain rates by railroad lines run.
ming out of Kansas City. Subpoenaes
have been issued on grain men and
number of freight agents representing
Kansas City railroads, to appear before
the commission in this city on Jan 9.
and explain their rates on grain to the
Atlantic seaboard. The grain situation
IN Kansas City has been in a chaotic
condition for several weeks, and SETTLE
ment was attempted by the committee
here last spring, but nothing was devel-
oped. Now the commission, it is said,
may develop some sensation if they turn
states evidence.
The investigation, 1t is declared will
be more thorough than that Of last spring
and will go deeper into the facts. Last
year in some manner the agents received
warning of what was coming and some Of
the freight men whose testimony would
have been very important had business
engagements in other cities. This year
they have been taken by surprise, and
the deputy United States marshaIs met
with more success than they did before
in finding the men they wanted.
There are about forty subpoenaes, and
they were served on many grain men as
well as freight agents One of the sub
ponaes was served on w. p. Trickett,
commissioner of the Kansas City Trans
portation bureau.
1t is said that the commission will at
this time investigate grain rates from
Western points to the Atlantic seaboard
and other Eastern points. This, it is UNI
derstood, will include export as well as
domestic rates
