EXPLANATION GIVEN
 OF PACKERS REBATE
It Had Been Found Necessary to Raise
 Rates on Outsiders.

Kansas City, June 1.-Arguments in the cases of the Armour. Swift, Cudahy and Nelson Morris packing companies, on charges of accepting rebates from the Burlington railroad on export ship ments, had not been concluded when court adjourned this afternoon
 The Burlington had signed a con tract with the packers giving them a rate of 23 cents a hundred from the Mississippi river to New York. During the life of the contract the railway raised its tariff to 35 cents. Counsel for the defendants, in their arguments today took the ground that when their contract with the railway was signed at the 23-cent rate it was legal and that the railway was bound to carry il out. It was necessary to protect their business in this, it was contend ed, by making contracts of this nature for the fact that the railway after agreeing to ship it's products at one rate. which at the time was legal, had later raised it's tariff.
 A. $. Van Nalkenberg will tomorrow begin his argument for the govern ment. The case probably will be given to the jury by noon tomorrow.
 During the day the case against the Chicago and Alton and J. N Faithorn and r. A. Wann. former officials of that road. charged with paying rebates on packing house products which had previously been set for trial this month, was continued until next fall.

MISS MAY SUTTON
 HAD 4 BAD DAY
Given the Play of Her Life In the
 Tennis Court.

Liverpool, June Miss May Sutton of Pasadena, Cal, was given one of the hardest matches she ever has had in England in the second round of the northern counties ladies' singles cham pionships, played at Aignurth. Liver pool this afternoon. Her opponent was Mrs. Sterry, who as Miss Cooper gained many tennis honors few years ago. At the outset Miss Sutton was nonplussed by Mrs. Sterry's tactics. The latter alternated a short drive just over the net with long lob, and Miss Sutton was kept running all over the court
 Although winning the first set she lost the second-the first set that she had lost in the tournament play. By sheer staying power she secured the third set and match. but she was tired out, and she and D. R. Rhodes of Bos- ton were beaten in the alI-England mixed doubles championship by E.. Casdagli and Mrs. Sterry. Earlier in the day she and Mrs. Rhodes had de- feated Mir. Fry and Mss F. Longhurst. so that the day was a severe test for the staying powers of the champion.

 FOR PENNSY
Company Has Been Trying
 to Break Up System
Cassatt's Belief That AhsOlute Public. ity is Better for the Read as We'll as for Shippers.

Philadelphia. June 7.-New light was shed today on the motives leading to the abolition of freight rebates by the railroads, when James McCrea, first vice president of the Pennsylvania company, appeared before the inter- state commerce commission. Mir. Me Crea favored publicity of the rating of mines and the distribution of cars. He surprised the commissioners by an- nouncing that for nearly two years and up to the time of President Cassatt's recent departure for Europe. the board of directors Of the Pennsylvania rail- road had been considering means for eliminating the private car He de- clared that the company has concluded that the use of these cars is unwise.
 Toward the conclusion of his testi- mony Attorney Glasgow asked Mir. McCrea when President Cassatt de- cided to stop rebating. Just as soon as he got control of the Pennsylvania railroad: that was in 1899.''
 Mir. McCrea declared that the direct ors of the other roads were pleased with the idea of abolishing relating when the subject was brought to their attention. MT. McCrea admitted final ly that the relating stopped when the community of interests plan started He asserted that the shipper was never so fairly treated as now. He has stable rates and is placed in a fair position with his competitors.
 There were other interesting deveI- opments in the session. Jos. Aitken chief clerk to A. G. Mitchell, superin- tendent of the Monongahela river di- vision, admitted owning stocks in nu- merous coal companies, some of which were given to him, while for the other shares he paid a privilege price. He also testified to having paid to Jos Boyer, former chief clerk to A. c. Gib- son, five cents ton as commission for fuel coal which one of his companies furnished to the railroad
