ADMITS DIVISION OF RATES.
The 81. Louis Southwest ern's Answers to
Charge OF Violating the EIklns Law.

WASHINGTON, May 0-The Interstate
Commerce Commission this afternoon re.
ceived the answer of the st. Louis South
western Railroad to the comp!a int Of the
Central Yellow Pine Association, alleging
violation by that and three other defendant
roads of the Elkins Anti. Rebate law, pc ssed
as part Of the antitrust legislation OF
the last Congress. This case is the first to
come before the commission under the
provisions Of this act.
The answer admits that a division Il
the through interstate rate is accorded the
logging roads which connect with Its lines
for their services in transmitting logs to
mills and the manufactured products to
the line Of the St. Louis Southwestern.
In doing this, the answer says. the defend
ant had continued in effect an ARRANGEMENT
which had grown up with and become an
integral port Of the lumber manufactur-
ing business. 1t had been put in force
western. had been in force and effect for
years, and it had been the policy of the
defendant company to encourage the
building Of these logging roads. according
to them the tap-line division of the inter-
state through rate. TO serve as a return upon
the capital necessary to construct the
logging road.
The road makes the specific charge that
some OF the members of the complainant
association formerly owned logging roads
and participated in this tap-bne division:
that these roads owned BY members of
the complainant association were sold TO
the connecting carriers; that at present
these members are accorded the privilege
of hauling their lumber over these logging
roads. and that this free track right amounts
to more in the aggregate than the tap-line
division OF interstate rates OF the defendant
roads which is accorded to the patrons
owning logging roads or tap lines.

discrimination and unjust and unreason-
able rates in the matter of freight charges

The complaint says that the rates on dried
fruits should he lower, inste cad of higher,

that the rates in question have resulted
in practically annihilating certain phases OF

1Mr. Dover has permitted his feeling Of
resentment over his failure to secure a

are grossly exaggerated, while other
charges. az shown by the sworn statements
OF his associates, are absolutely untrue"

BUFFALO, May "a ruin was started

morning as a result Of rumors which have
been circulated in Buffalo for about three
weeks. The run Is the second one within
two years In the history of the institution,
and like the first run, the bank officials
assert, will be weathered without trouble.
The run to-day started at about 10 o'clock
and was at its height shortly before noon,
when the bank was crowded to the doors
with persons who were . anxious to take
out their money.
The rlmors which started this run were
to the effect that there had been a large
defalcaton in some bank in this city. The
sum that was mentioped was 100000 The
first story was that the defalcation con-
sisted Of trust funds. The rumor died
down, then it was revived, and this
