IMPORTANT RATE RULING
ROADS MUST ONLY RECEIVE
MONEY FOR TRANSPORTATION.
Commerce Commission Makes Deci-
sion Regarding Excessive Rates
Meat Regulations PromuI.
gated.

Washington, Sept. 19.-The inter-
state commerce commission Tuesday
rendered most important decision
in the matter of the applications from
various railroads giving administra-
tive construction to certain provi-
sions in the new railroad rate laws.
Briefly, they hold that with regard
to payments for transportation, moth
ing but money can be legally received.
With regard to notices of changes
in rates, the joint rate between two
or more connecting carriers is held
to be the legal rate, and any change
requires 80 days notice. With re-
gard to round trip excursion rates, the
commission makes three rulings, the
most important being that these may
be changed at one days notice.
Secretary Wilson Tuesday promul-
gated the regulations, under the new
meat law, governing the transporta-
ton of meat in interstate and foreign
commerce. There are eight amend
ments to the regulations already in
force, and these have to do with in
terstate transportation; inspected
meats and products; exempted meats
and products; meats offered for trans
portation by farmers; and the restric-
tons upon common carriers in Ger.
tain cases.

GEN. GRANT REPORTS.
Officer Recommends Legislation for
Betterment of the Army.

Washington, Sept. 19.-Maj. Gen.
Frederick D. Grant, commanding the
department of the east, strongly rec,
ommends in his annual report some
legislation which will prevent the ex.
odus of enlisted men from the coast
artillery. The shortage is now about
20 per cent. He says that the life for
enlisted men is not very attractive in
many of the smaller posts and they
prefer service elsewhere. The report
contains number of recommends
lions relative to increasing the eff
cheney of the coast artillery as the de-
fensive arm of the nation. Gen. Grant
states that in his last report he said
that fully rs per cent. of the trials by
courtmartial were due to the use of
bad liquor, and this year he estimates
that 80 per cent. of the troubles that
occurred in the army are due to the
use of such liquor He believes that
with the establishments of the can
teen the inf1uenaof demoralizing re-
sorts would be greatly reduced.
