NOT THE NUMBER BUT THE:s|zE
North Carolina Men Enter Com
plant Against the Southern.
We're Furnished With small Cars and
Charged for 5000 Pounds More
Than Actual Weight S!lipped-Com-
Dany Unable TO Supply Large Cars
on Account of Preyailin. Shortage.

Washington. December 1S-A feature
OF the car shortage question about
which the interstate commerce commits
sion is receiving so many complaints
developed today in the hearing by that
body OF the case of the North Carolina
Case Workers Association against ne
Southern and Il large number OF other
railway companies whose connecting
lines do a transcontinental business Ii
concerned the failure OF the companies
10 furnish forty and fOrty-tWo faa-
cars to carry the minimum OF -. OG0
pounds of furniture shipped 10 Pacific
terminals which entities the shippers
TO q commodity rate, but instead most
OF the time supply cars smaller IN
which shippers can place but l2,00).
The North Carolina Case Workets A.
SOciatiOn is composed OF seyen.y-SiE
furniture manufacturers Of that state
and Virginia. In their complaint %
the commission they say that the IG3Cs
give them a thirty-six foot car and
charge $40 for each 100 pounds with
4 minimum of 10000 pounds per car.
thus subjectinS them To payment for
5000 pounds more than the act! al
weight shipped. They have asked fAo
commission TO compel the roads to give
them a rate of $1.70 Il 100 ut a mini
nun OF 1000 pounds, which they say
is enjoyed by furniture shippers in
other localities.
Counsel. in reply to the complaint,
states that as provided in the western
and southern claSsifcitiOns the thirty
six foot cars take a minimum of Il, 900
pounds but that the $1.70 rate is 2
special commodity rate applying TO
Pacific coast terminals only and covers
a class of cheap and medium grade
furniture that if subjected to the reg
ular rating. would require a S2.49 rate
a 100. The counsel further declared
that their inability to supply cars Of
larger dimensions is due to the short
age of cars all over the country and
that the railway companies are doing
everything in their power to supply
their shippers.
The whole of today's session was con
Sumed in hearing testimony Offered
by the compliments in which the wit
nesses gave in detail instances in Wn}cj1
the companies had not furnished the
cars called for and others in which tho
shippers had been compelled to wait
for periods ranging from ten days up

IL embarrassed them in their business
in many instances, causing losses re-
sulting from countermanding OF orders.
Tomorrow the commission will hear

GROCERY STORE BROkEN INTO
Robbers Effected Entrance into Store
of n. Humphrey, on Fourth and
Nalnut-Scveral Articles and Some
Cash. Missing.

The store of Mr.. n. Humphrey, stu
ated on the corner of 4th and Wlinu,
was broken into at an early hour yes
terday morning, and besides a small
amount of cash, amounting to aOou:
81, several articles, such as meal and
-four We're stolen, the exact amount
Of the loss having not yet been ascer-
tanned.
The store of Mr.. Humphrey occupies
the lower floor of a building, the upper
part of which is divided into sleeping
apartments and living rooms and Mr..
Humphrey lives there with his family.
The passage On the ground floor is az
the rear of the store and it is presumed
that entrance was affected through a
door leading into the store from III"
hallway, as that door was broken
open, the latch having been Destroyer.
The robber or robbers probably left the
store by the front entrance rs 4 pane
of glass in that door had been broken
and the latch loosened.
Some one in the family Of Captain
Miller, who resides across the street
firm the Humphrey store, heard tive or
three suspicious noises and a phone
message was sent to the city hall ask
ing that a policeman be sent to the
n~eighborhood. Right after the phone
message had been sent in. Capt, Miller
saw a person leave the store, but the
distance prevented him from gaining
any sort of clue that might be useful
in identification. When the officers ar
rived, they found the store broken INTO.
and Mr.. Humphrey was aroused. This
was about 3:45 a. m. so it is presumed
the robbery occurred about > O'Clock,
Or a short while later.

has therefore no room for malice
or unkindness. II has a meaning
for the rich who have learned from
Gods gift OF the Christ that "it is
more blessed to give than TO re-
ceive." 1t has meaning for the
poor whose humble dwelling have
even more often sheltered the
Christ child than the mansion of
the wealthy.
The gifts we give are the ex-

We give may make little difference.
To whom We give signifies much |
