FRAUD BY SHIPPERS
Highly Interesting Developments Fore
casted by a Statement Issued BY the
Interstate Commerce Commission.

Washington, March 21.-The inter-
state commerce commission today gave
out for publication the following
notice:
Upon reports TO the commission
that many shippers in and about the
city of New York have been persist
emily under-bflling and misrepresenting
freight shipped by railroads from that
city and other points in eastern terri
tory, the commission has ordered an
investigation and set the matter down
for hearing in New York March %.
It Is reported that some highly In
teresting developments will take place
indicating fraud on the part OF the
shippers which amount to forced re-
bates from published tariff rates.
A member Of the commission stated
today that the commission proposes TO
go to the very bottom Of the alleged
frauds and false description Of proper
y. They would see. he said, what the
investigation developed before entering
into consideration Of the question OF
criminal prosecution.
I'm this instance" said the member.
I'VE will most assuredly apply the cor
rective Of publicity"
1.-The hearing has reference TO al
legged frauds by shippers through under
billing, false description OF property
| and other similar devices.
/. 'It Is reported TO the committee
| that In numerous instances shippers
| actually sending articles that belong
| in one of the higher classes describe
them by a different name which would
| place them in a lower class and so get
the advantage Of the lower rate. This
| operates not only TO defraud the car
riers of revenues to which they are
| entitled but also has the effect of a
serious discrimination against the hon.
est shipper who must meet his COM
| petitor in common markets"

Savannah, Ga, March 2i.-The tes-
timony in the Greene and Gaynor trial
today was Il continuation OF that relat-
ting to the relative cost OF the work
done by the defendants and that done
by other contracts at many ports OF
the south Atlantic and gulf coasts.
This was intended by the defendants
to show that only fair compensation
for the work done under Greene and
Gaynor was secured
Further. evidence. too. was given to
substantiate the claim OF Greene and
Gaynor that they did fair and honest
work and put in mattresses in accord
ance with specifications.
r. A. Blanford gave evidence In
tended to prove that the cost To the
government of the work done by
Greene and Gaynor under the Carter
administration was not exorbitant and
would successfully stand comparison
with that done at the thirty-one other
cities and towns from which reports
were made.
The witness at one point named
$1.15 a yard for mattresses eighteen
inches thick as the average cost or
construction at the thirty ports
taken for comparison.
Here Judge Speer interrupted. ask
ing the witness what he would regard
as a fair and honest price per cubit
yard for such mattress. The wit
ness answered $2O5. The court stated
the evidence had shown that $40
| cubic yard was paid Greene and Cay
nor.
II. c. Ripley. civil engineer OF Gal
weston, Texas. one OF the board or en-
gineers who examined the work done
by Greene and Gaynor said there was
little chance for any one to have ma
nipulated the tide guage and thus fal-
| sify the work Of inspection. The line
Of testimony was brought out because
| of the governments counsel inimation
that such may have been practiced by
| one Of the Gaynors.
Mr.. Ripley regarded the work done
| by Greene and Gaynor as sound and
| satisfactory.
| Court adjourned until tomorrow.

Grafton Of the proposed law firm max
ing cam .paien cnlributions, and he was
Immediately followed by his colleague,
Mr.. 6a:ley, who offered ta4 amendment
to long promised by him, and FLOWED
his action with speech in which he
explained that he would not now pre-
sent the amendments, but for the fact
that Mr. Dolliver had referred 10
and criticised them in an interview.
He indicated some displeasure over
the interview, but exonerated Mr.. Do
liver from discourtesy in The matter.
The Iowa senator disavowed any in:en-
tlon to reveal a senate secret. and the

it was not possible that cases coulo
be taken to the courts on writS OF
certiorari.
Mr. Bailey admitted that for expendi-
ton this means might be the best, bnt
expressed doubt as to the method OF
procedure as between court and the
commission.
Mr.. Rayner said that the decisions
of the supreme court are to the effect
that the writ of certiorari cannot be
used to take a case from an admins
trative to a judicial body but Mr.. Dan
