Kansas City, Aug. 3. = The Mis-
souri, state board of railway and ware
house commissioners has refused to
grant an increased freight rate on fur
niture and agricultural implements.
The refusal, the commissioners said,
was at the suggestion of Attorney Gen
eral Hadley, who had given an opinion
denying the board power to increase
rates fixed by statute.
The present rates on many commodi
ties, including furniture and farm i'm
plements, were fixed by law in 1879
Two years ago the board of railway
commissioners, in fixing the rates or
articles not mentioned in this law, in
advertently included furniture and i'm
plements, raising the rate. After the
mistake was discovered the rate was
made to conform to the statute again
and it was against this change that thu
