LOOK INTO FREIGHT RATES.
Interstate Commerce Commission In.
Vestigates Recent Advances.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 26-
The interstate commerce commission
today gave a hearing in the matter of
recent advances in freight rates on
grain and grain products, dressed
meats and packing house products,
iron, etc. A number of railway officials
were present Vice Presidents Cham.
berlain and Willard. of the Erie rail-
way; Freight Traffic Manager Joyce,
of the Pennsylvania railway, and
Freight Traffic Manager Mitchell, of
the Michigan Central. testified.
Their testimony was a reiteration of
the statements made by the formal an
sWers of their roads to the commits
slon's circular of inquiry, the answers
alleging as a cause for the advance
in rate the differing commercial con-
dlt1ons, vast improvements made and
projected, increased cost of materials
and supplies and of transportation,
etc. Mr.. Joyce, among others, was
asked about the meeting of the officials
of the various roads at which the in
creases were decided on. He said that
there was no understanding as such,
and that the roads have not increased
their rates in any way.
Replying to the question Of the COM
mission, he said that, so far as rates
were concerned, the iron freight would
have come to Pennsylvania under any
contingency. He, like the others, de-
MED that recent merging of some of
the roads was the cause of the tariff
advances

REPLIES TO COMPLAINT.
Great Northern Denies Jurisdiction of
Railroad Commission.

Henry Klauser, a dealer in lumber
and fuel at Litchfield, has filed COM
plant before the state railroad and
warehouse commission against the
Great Northern, protesting against the
freight tariff of the company on the
commodities named between Duluth
and Litchfield and st. Paul, Mime
apolis and Litchfield.
The company, in it's answer, which
is very brief, sets forth that it's lines
between Duluth and Litchfield and st.
Paul and Minneapolis pass out of Min
nesOta into Wisconsin and then back
into Minnesota. The reply then init
mates that traffic between those points
comes under the head of interstate
commerce.
The complainant, in his bill, speci-
fcally states that the Great North
erns rate on hard and soft coal in
carload lots from Duluth to Litchfield
is $3.50 per ton, and the rate from
St Paul and Minneapolis to Litchfield
is $3.50 per ton; and the rate on lum-
Der from Duluth to LitchfieId in car
load lots is 10 cents per 100 pounds,
and from st. Paul or Minneapolis to
Litchfield 8 cents per 100 pounds.
These rates, it is declared, are I'M
just and unreasonable, and it is al
legged that fair and reasonable charges
would be $3.50 for coal from Duluth
to Litchfield and 81 for coal from St
Paul or Minneapolis to Litchfield, and
cents on lumber from Duluth to
Litchfield and cents on lumber from
st. Paul or Minneapolis to Lttchfield.
The answer of the railroad company
is very brief, and merely sets forth
the one fact stated admitting the allie
cations Of the complainant as to it's
rates.

OWNERSHIP OF
LIGHTING PLANTS
Papers on Both Sides of the
Question Presented by
Experts.

NEW YORK. Feb. 26.-The second
days session Of the national conven-
ton on municipal ownership and pub
lie franchises began today with a dis
cussion on Municipal Ownership of
Electric Lighting Plants" The affirm
atfve was taken by Victor Rosewater.
editor Of the Omaha Daily Bee, and
the negative by Lieut.. Cahoon, Sec
rotary of the National Electric Light
association. The latter concluded:
Il think the great trend of all argu-
ments on the municipal ownership
question in the past has been along
the lines as to whether the municipal
plant can be operated so as to furnish
lights for city at less cost than the
existing company can furnish them.
l say frankly that the municipal plant
cannot furnish light at as low cost, all
things considered, as the city can OBJ
tain from the local private company.
The day of secrecy in the matter of ac-
counting by electric light companies
has gone by, and there is not a single
modern, up-to- date plant in the United
States which is not ready and willing
to show the municipality just what
1t costs to furnish them street lights"
In the discussion that followed, Ed
ward B. Elicott, city electrician of
Chicago, said in part:
When theoretical charges are added
lighting plants, 1t leaves small induce
ments for city to engage in furnish
ing such service, and If the same
charges are applied to private owner
ship there is no inducement for the in
vestment of capital. The most i'm
portant difference IN conditions is that
municipality does not have to earn
dividend for stockholders, and, in most
instances, on a greater valuation than
actual invested
rant The most important point on
which advocates of municipal owner
snip and their mutual enemies-the
private companies-disagr is that of
depreciation"

er OF electric lighting of Detroit, said:
"Detroit's municipal electric lighting
plant has been in operation seven years
and except Chicago it is the largest
municipal plant in the country AS a
mere business proposition IT has proved
good investment for Detroit, for it
VIII have paid for itself in the next
three years, based on the lowest ten
year contract from a private company.
Moreover great Improvement in the
service has followed municipal owner

COMBINATION IN
PROSPECT
Purchase of Frisco by Rock
Island Believed to Be First
Step in Negotiations to
Form Company to Include
Santa Fe and Other Sys-
TENS.

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-Contrary to
expectation, no official statement re-
specting the status of the st. Louis q
San Francisco deal was issued today.
1t is generally believed that matters
have reached the stage where only a
few unimportant details remain to be
settled.
President Yoakum. of the Frisco,
had another conference with repre-
sentatives of ]. P. Morgan & Co. to-
day, but declined TO discuss the re-
ported deal in any way.
Latest reports indicate that the out
come of the present negotiations will
disclose a scheme of far-reaching i'm
portance. 1t is the general belief that
a merger or consolidation of the inter-
ests in the Frisco, Rock Island. Santa
Fe and Southern roads is cOntem-
plated. Rock Island according to cur
rent gossip, will be the central figure
in the deal. Mr.. Yoakum is reported
to be slated for the presidency of
Rock Island, which it is predicted will
dominate the situation.
All reports of terms and similar de-
tails are as yet matters OF conjecture.
A rumor that Rock Island would take
over the Morgan holdings in Georgia
Central as part payment to Morgan &
Co. for their management of the f1nan-
cial details could not be confirmed.

the United States. He alleges that de-
string to make shipments of coal from
the mines at Irwin, Johnston and other
points, he notified the railroad to fur
furnish him cars; that they neglected
to do so, but furnished cars there and
at other points for the loading and
shipment of coal to other states by
competitors and others. He complains
that the railroad has in effect a dis
criminatory regulation directing that
no cars be furnished for loading coal
from wagons, but that the road fur
nishes cars to the shippers owning
their own tipples and sidings. He al
leges that his business has been Sc
riously impaired by this attitude of
the railroad
