RAILROAD MAKES A DENIAL.
The p. a VI. Never Refused 10 Prorate
on OIL, President futile says.

Boston, May5.-President LuoiusT futile Of
the Boston and Maine Railroad when asked
IL he had any comment to make on Com
missioner Garfeld's charges concerning that
road said:
If Commissioner Garfield is correctly re-
ported as stating that the Boston and Maine
Railroad has refused to prorate on oil shipped
from the West to this territory over con-
Meeting roads. all / have to say is that he is
entirely mistaken. The Boston and Maine
Railroad for years, except in certain sparseiy
settled sections Of its territory, has Joined
with roads on which oil traffic originates in
through rates. and every shipper and re-
ceiver Of oil has been treated exactly alike.
"In certain parts OF the Boston and Maine
territory, covered by the Eastern and West.
ern divisions, where smaller quantities OF
oil are used, rates have not been prorated
for the reason that this road has never
been asked to enter into such an range
ment. On the Fitchburg, Connecticut River.
Worcester, Nashua and Portland and South
ern divisions such prorating arrangements
AVE been in effect at least as far back as
the last eight years and are in effect to-day.
You will understand, of course, that
through rates are made always at the re-
quest of the railroad originating the traffic,
and not at the initiative Of the terminal line.
'As far as the Boston and dame road is
concerned it has never, to my knowledge.
refused to agree to any such request for
prorating on oil coming from an outside
road.

STANDARDS INDIANA REBATES.
Investigation Shows They Do Not Come
Under the states Antitrust Law.

Investig alton Shows They Do Not Come
Under the states Antitrust Law.
INDIANAPOLIS, May 5.--The investigation
by the Attorney General and the State
Railroad Commission into violations of the
State antitrust law by the Standard Oil
Company and certain railroads which gave
1t rebates on shipments of oil to Evansville
from its refinery at Whiting has developed
the fact hat the shipments complained Of
did not go direct from Whiting to Evans
vile and that if this proves to be true the
Standard Oil and tn railroad companies
that favored it cannot be successfully
rosecuted under lndiana law.
It appears that the shipments referred
to in Commissioner Garfeld's report were
made over the Chicago Terminal to Chicago
and then over the Chicago n Eastern
Illinois Railroad, partly through Illinois
and partly through Indiana, to their desti-
nation. The State Railroad Commission
say that II this be true, the acts COM under
the Interstate commerce law and not under
the laws Of Indiana, The investigation,
however, has not been completed, but there
is reason to belive that the antitrust law
of Indiana would not cover the cases In which
rebates have been given the Standard on
shipments terminating in this State.

EXPECT BUMPER WHEAT CROP
Weeks News and Statistics In the Chicago
Market Proved Bearlsh.

CHICAGO, May S.-Chan glng operations
as between May wheat and the more distant
months were the chief feature Of the market
at the outset Of the week. The May was
rather tight and ven to a substsJstial pre-
MUM over July, but lost it later. Quite a
number OF the May shorts covered, some OF
the elevator people buying that option and
selling the later months. There was, on the
other hand, considerable realizing by May
longs on the advance, these also going over
to the July and September. By far the
greater part of the new n statistics
proved bearish, Crop reports were Of the
best sort, with the exception OF some Of the
private reports from Kansas.
The Midland Elet7tor, in it's weekly re-
sumo, said that the past ten days had been
favorable for growing wheat. IhS entire
wheat belt has had plenty Of rain and con-
ditions are ideal for rapid growth.
Prom personal investigation and reliable
reports from the poor districts In central
and northern Kansas" 1t says, we find
that conditions in these counties are not
about 1900, 600 acres which We do not think
under the most favorable circumstances
will yield more than half a crop, and we
have reduced our estimates Of the Kansas
crop 5000, 900 bushels, making 1t rs, 000, 900
bushels. In other parts Of the State,
especially in the northern tier OF counties,
prospects are for n bumper crop-better
than for several years, Much of the
abandoned acreage will be seeded to spring
estimate caused somewhat Of a stir III
speculative circles m~omentarily, but the
report was considered as a tearish one
after ii had been fully d~igested.N
