Interstate Commerce Commission
Gives Notice of an Inves-
tigation in New York.

Washington. March 21.-The inter-
state commerce commission today gave
out for publication the following no.
tice: .-------
Upon reports to the commission that
many shippers in and about the city
of New York have been persistently
undertaking and misrepresenting
freight shipped by railroads from that
city, and other points in eastern terri
tory, the commission has ordered an in
vestigation and set the matter down
for hearing at the United States court
rooms. New York City, on Friday.
March %, at 1890 a. m. 1t is expected
some highly interesting developments
viii take place, indicating fraud on the
part of shippers which amount to
forced rebates from published tariff
rates.
Intentional Fraud.
The members of the commission were
loath to give any of the details which
led to the decision to conduct the in
impaired that beyond question the unT
derbilling was intentional and that the
shipments were deliberately misclassi-
fed i'm order to secure the lower freight
rates.
At the Offices of the commission no
one was willing to admit that the rail-
roads were a party to the alleged
frauds. Many witnesses have been sub
poenaed to be present al the hearing.
Will Go to Bottom.
member of the committee stated
that the commission proposes to go to
the very bottom of the alleged frauds
and false description of property. They
will see, he said, what the investigation

reference to alleged frauds by ship
pers through under billing. false de-
scription of property and other similar
devices.
1.-The inquiry in New York will have
special reference to merchandise traffic
shipped from that city usually in less
than carload quantities.
Defrauds the Carrier.
1T is reported to the commission
that in numerous instances shippers
actually sending articles that belong in
one of the higher classes described by
a different name which would place
them in a lower class and 80 get the
duNdhtdSe VI lHe lO"Si rate. IuiS up
crates not only to defraud the carriers
of revenues to which they are entitled
but also has the effect of serious dis
elimination against the honest shipper
who must meet his competitor in COM
mon markets. To what extent practices
of this kind Will be disclosed or what
concerns I'm or about New York are
implicated I am unable to state. but it
is expected that some interesting dis
closures will be the result of the inves-
tigation.'

IS TOO
SICK TO ATTEND
Hearing of the Missouri Case Against
Standard Oil Postponed
Until April 5.

St Louis, March 21.-At the residence
of H. Clay Pierce, former president of
the Waters-Pierce Oil company, it was
stated that Mr.. Pierce is still suffering
from an affection of the throat, and
would not be able to appear as a wit
ness today before Special Commissioner
Anthony, in the oil hearing. The hear
ing opened with DR.. Bond on the stand.
He testified that he had visited Mr..
Pierce's house this morning, found Mr..
Pierce in bed and found him to show
symptoms of bronchitis and suffering
from Iaryngitis- Under questions of
Attorney General Hadley DIR. Bond en-
tered into a detailed diagnosis of Mr..
Pierce's condition.
DO you think there would be any
certain injury to his health to come
here and testify?"
81 certainly think it would be impru-
dent for him to come out and be sub
jected to the nervous strain of testify
ing in his present condition.
Adjourned to April 5.
Mr.. Hadley then stated to the court
that in view of the apparent inability
to secure Mr.. Pierce as a witness today
he would ask the court to permit the
adjournment of today's session to en-
able him to depart for New York at 1
O'Clock and to set a date for a further
hearing.
Charles Nagel, member of counsel for
the Waters-Pierce company, interposed
an objection to pOstponing the hearing
He said he felt the New York hearing
could just as well wait upon the Mis-
souri, hearing.
Commissioner Anthony said that he
did not feel, in view of the testimony
of DR.. Bond, that it would be proper to
continue this session from day to day.
as he had other matters demanding his
attention
After some elaboration Commission
er Anthony set April 5 as the date of
resumption after today's adjournment

Would Force Postponement.

1t is said upon reliable authority
that the reason for the pushing of this
particular bill is the fact that the cleo
ton of trustees of the New York Life
company would take place on April II
and it is the desire of the committee
that there may be no question that
this election shall be among those post
pOned by the act.
According TO the same authority, the
amended bill viii be reported also in
the senate tomorrow in behalf of the
Armstrong committee, and the effort
will be made to press the bill to pas
sage with all possible speed so that it
may be enacted and placed in the
hands of Governor Higgins early next
week.
