MAY VISIT PORTO RICO.
Expert Will Investigate Charges
A bout the RailWav

1t has developed that one of the objects Of
the visit of Gov. Winthrop of Porto Rico
to Washington was to discuss with the
President the ACCESSIBILITY of sending an ex-
pert from the interstate commerce commits
sion to Porto Rico to investigate COM
plants against the Porto Rico railway.
Charges have been made that this rail-
road is discriminating in its rates to diff
ferent shippers, and much trouble has been
made for Gov. Winthrop and other United
States officials on the island.
Chairman Knapp of the interstate COM
merce commission probably will detail a
member or an expert connected with the
commission to make the investigation with
in the next few days.
Before the Spanish war. when the United
States gained control Of Porto Rico, the
railroad on the island was in the hands of
French financiers. as the original charter
had been granted to them. Following the
United States occupation of the island this
French company gave up its old charter
and took out one under this government.
1t is required to publish its rates the same
as the railroads of the United States.
