DOESN'T KNOW


Chicago, Oct 3I.-President
FELTON, of the Chicago & Alton
Railway was called today in the
hearing of the case brought by a
Springfield firm against the rail
road for alleged discrimination in
freight rates. The suit is one of
three-hundred twenty similar act
ions brought against the railroad
for alleged discrimination in freight
rates. FELTON, said if new freight
tariff was put into effect, he did no
think he would know about it. After
several questions were put, the At
torney asked the witness. "You
don't know then whether or moi
the Alton road ever made discri
minatory charge"1 NO" was the
reply.

RAILROADS MUST ANSWER
To the Charge Of Discriminate on
Against Wheat Shippers.

Guthrie, Ok. Oct. 3o.-The
complaint OF the territory of Okla
homa by w. o. Cromwell, the at
torney general, against all trunk
line railroads in Oklahoma and
their Texas connecting lines to
gulf points, alleging nnfair and IL
legal rates on wheat in carload lots,
has been filed with the interstate
commerce commission in Wash
ington. Charles West of Enid,
special attorney, is taking deposit
tions in Oklahoma, Kansas and
elsewhere in support of the COM
plant which asks that the railroad
companies be requested to establish
reasonable rates. the complaint
declares that a reasonable charge
on wheat from Oklahoma points to
Galveston Is not more than
S mills a ton mile whereas the
rate actually charged is 7 rs mills
a ton mile. The cost to the railroad
companies is allegedto not be more
than az mills a ton mile.
Attention is called to the fact
that the defendant railroad COM
panies charge more for the rela-
tive distance in Oklahoma than in
other states. The rate, for in
stance, on wheat in carload lots
from Sugden and Ryan, l. T., to
Galveston is IS cents hundred
pounds. Northward 1903 miles, al
FL Reno, the rate is so1z cents,
where the rate reasonably should
be 20 cents. Discrimination In
rates as between other states and
Oklahoma is shown.
An unusual feature of the petI'
ton is that in being filed in the
name of Oklahoma, the territory is
made to appear in behalf of all the
people. Ordinarily the plaintiff
is the complaining shipper.
