Of artillery, having covered the esti-

This made the distance which it actu-

REBATE INQUIRY
FOR TWIN CITIES
John T. Marchand, Special Agent
of Interstate Commerce Com
mission, in Minneapolis.
HE HAS BEEN WORKING. -
UNDER SURFACE HERE
Probe Will Be Inserted Deep at
Special Session to Be
Held Soon.

John T. Marchand is in Minneapolis.
Railroad men know what that means.
They will appreciate the significance
OF the announcement more when they
learn that he has been in the twin
cities, off and on, for weeks.
Mr.. Marchand is special agent of
the interstate commerce commission,
and an authority on rebates. He goes
about the country unheralded, and never
registers his own name at the hotels.
When he spends any Of his valuable
time in q city, it may be taken for
granted that the probe is being inserted
deep, and that no means are being left
untried to find rebates, secret rates, and
other violations Of the Elkins law and
the interstate commerce law. -.
Several years ago Mr.. Marchand Wis
federal grand jury met in extra SEES
sion. Fifteen or twenty railroad men
were subpenaed, and went thru some
searching inquiries, but no indictments
resulted It is not a grand jury matter
this time, but it is understood that be-
fore long two members of the inter
state commerce commission will visit
Z the twin cities. They will hold spe-
cial session on rebates and persons sup
posed to know things will be put on the
stand and questioned searchingly.
There will be nothing perfunctory
about this inquiry, it is said. Govern
ment authorities are already in posses
sion of certain evidence that will make
denials useless and the witnesses will
be placed where they must tell what
they know or be in contempt. No sub
penas have been issued, and the exact
date of the session is not known, but
it is understood that a score Of Mime.
apolis officials will be summoned and
that fully as many St. Paul men are on
the list.
The last time such an inquiry was
made. the most valuable witnesses were
out of the city and could not be served
It has been reported that the officials

submitted by the advisory board Of

ton of a sea-level canal, in order that

The president is said to have favored
quickly constructed and at less ex-
pense. The advisory board. thru for
eign votes, advocated sea-level canal.

gineer Stevens, now here, at an early
date, and take all possible testimony
regarding the type of canal. The presi-
dent will send the advisory board q
report to the committee under pledge
of secrecy. Mr.. Stevens will then be

port will necessarily be incomplete, as
some changes are suggested, but the
