LUMBER COMPANIES CHARGE
RATE DISCRIMINATION.
Central Yellow Pine Association Files
Complaints Against Railroads, Al
1cginE Partially.

| The Interstate Commerce Commission
yesterday. in the courtroom of the United
! States Court of Appeals began the hearing
| of a complaint made by the Central Yellow
| Pine Association against the NicksburG
! Shreveport and Pacific, the Kansas City
| Southern. the St. Louis Southwestern and
I the St. Louis. Iron Mountain and Southern
| Railroad companies. Former Governor
Joseph W. Fifer of Illinois and Judge c. y.
! Prouty of Vermont are hearing the teSti-
mony.
The complaint made by the Central
Yellow Pine AsSoCiat ton is that its members
who are engaged i'll the manufacture of
Mississippi River. in Mississippi. Alabama
and Georgia are placed at a disadvantage
in competing for business north of the Ohio
River, and east Of the Mississippi River.
with manufacturers of yellow pine lumber
In Arkansas and in that part of louisiana
west of the Mississippi River. by reason of
4 division of rates which the railroad com
panies in question make with the lumber
companies owning the tap lines which are
used to bring he lumber 10 the main line
The complainantS allege that this tap
line division is in violation of the Interstate
Act, and the commission is asked to abolish
the practice.
The contention of the railway companies
is that the division of rates is legitimate
and right for the reason that the tap roads
are built at the expense of the lumber com
panies and furnish the trunk lines with a
from those parts of the country.
They contend that the tap roads perform
nearly all the functions of common carriers
and are entitled TO the division of rates.
The railroads also state. in their answer,
that the long-lcaf pine milled by the COM
panies which form the Central Yellow Pine
Lumber Association grows i'll much larger
amounts per acre than the Short-leaf mflled
by the companies west of the Mississippi
ana that the difference of cents per hun
dred allowed the former lumber companies
is warranted on this account.
General T. l.. Miller of New Orleans and
Attorney Green of Jackson. Miss, are the
lawyers for the Central Yellow Pine Lum-
her Association. Martin l.. Clardy repre-
sents the Iron Mountain. Sam. II. West the
Cotton Belt, J. W. Moore of Kansas City
the Kansas City Southern. Harry Hardy
the Vicksburg. Shreveport and Pacific. and
r =. Williams the Mobile and Ohio.
w. +. Farrell. traffic manager of the Cot
ton Belt. and General Freight Agent Lin
coin of the Iron Mountain, were the only
witnesses examined. They both denied that
there had been any discrimination against
the complainants and defended the position
of the railroads.
The investigation will he thorough. the
question is one of vital interest to the lum-
Der men, and to the yellow-pine lumber
business. The hearing will be continued this
morning at $50.

Washington, June 2e.-Summary action
was taken to-day by the President in dis
missing Judge Daniel H. Mcmillan Asso-
ciate Justice of the Supreme Court of New
Mexico. upon the representations Of I'M
moral conduct placed before Mr.. Roosevelt
by Attorney General Knox
President Roosevelt also announced at the
same time the appointment OF Clement H.
Smith of Hastings, Mich. urged by Senator
Burrows. as the successor 10 the depoSed
Judge.
Mr. Smith is a well-known lawyer in
Michigan Citizens in New Mexico suggested
a candidate of their own. but the President
preferred Mr.. Smith.
The exact nature of the charge of i'm
moral conduct against Judge Mcmillan is
that he travelled on his judicial circuit ac-
companied by woman with whom mis- re-
lations were such as to provoke the indg-
nation of citizens. His conduct while making
judicial rounds is said to have been wholly
unbecoming Judge of the Supreme Court.
Judge Mcmillan was appointed from Bur
falo. where he enjoyed q position of high
standing.
