President Of Great Western Forces
Proceedinss-Rebating to Peavey
at Kansas City and Omaha is
the Charge.

Chicago, Sept. 1S.-Members of the
Interstate commerce commission re-
opened the old Peavey { svator case
after listening to a long dispute be-
tween the various lawyers represent
ing the parties to the suit relative to a
supposed agreement for a continu-
ance.
The dispute ended abruptly after
President A. B.. Stickney OF the Chi
cago Great Western railway declared
that he most vigorously protested
against any further delay in the hear
ing. Persistent Stickney is one of the
petitioners for the %reopening of the
case, which involves the Union Pacific
Railroad company, the Peavey Elevat-
or company and the Transmississippi
Elevator company. One of the chief
allegations in the case is that he rail-
road company granted rebates to the
Peavey Elevator company and gave 1t
a monopoly OF the grain business
along the railroad. Besides the Chi.
cago Great Western railroad. the Pc
%titioners are the Burlington and the
Santa Fe railroads. The rebating is
said to have been done at Omaha and
Kansas City.
Mr.. Heffelinger of the Peavey Ele-
vator company testified that the Pea
vey elevator at Omaha during the year
had received 9,500,000 bushels of
grain. or this amount, he declared
that 1900 goo bushels came from the
Union Pacific railroad and the remain
der from Iowa points. He said he

the shipments OF the Union Pacific

cents for handling, but when asked
the amount received for taking care
! of the remaining 100000 bushels, ad-
mitted a profit, but declined to state
how much it wa~
When asked if he did not think that
the lucent contract made it easier
for his company in the way of COM
petition, the witness replied: Not a
bit. We could continue buying coun-
try grain without the Council Bluffs
elevator just the same as ever and all
this fuss and public opinion against
us would be gone. That house is now
for SALE"
Edward p. Peck, manager of the
Omaha Elevator company at Council
/ Bluffs, was then called to the stand.
Commissioner Knapp announced
that one or two Of the commissioners
will go to Omaha to hear the coal and
oil case on Wednesday, while the 9th
