COMMISSION DESIRES TO FIND
OUT IF RAILROADS ARE INTER
ESTED IN GRAIN ELEVATORS
ALONG THEIR LINES.

washington, July Io.-AH lufcotl5d
ton is to be made by the interstate
| commerce commission, by authority OF
| the United States senate. into the
elevator, grain buying and forwarding
business of the country to determine
what extent special fayors have been
granted by railroad companiese the
influence the alleged monopolizing of
this branch of business has had on
the market; the injury it has worked
to grain producers; the extent to
which railroads, their officers, direc-
tors, stockholders and employees own
or control grain buying and grain for
warding companies, and the manner
in which such holdings, If any, were
secured.
In the judgment of the commission
this investigation involves securing
information from common carriers
engaged in the transportation of grain
as interstate commerce. The inter-
state commerce commission sent a
circular letter to every railroad cor
poration in the United States request
ing it's responsible officers to furnish
to the commission as soon as prac-
ticable, information which will enable
it to report to congress next Deem
Der.
In brief, the commission desires the
railroads to supply the name and loca-
ton of every grain elevator along
their lines, together with the capacity
of elevators and whether the elevators
are used solely by the operators; the
name and address of each firm or
corporation operating the elevators;
whether any of the elevators are To-
Gated on lands of the railroad COM
pany and whether such privilege of
location is open to other persons de-
string to erect elevators along the
railroad lines; what, If any, interest
the railroad companys have in eleva-
tor properties, and whether any al
lowance in money or otherwise Is
made by the railroad companies for
the elevation or transfer of grain; the
names and addresses of the 10 per-
sons or firms who have been the
| largest shippers of grain over the rail-
road lines since June, 1905; the ex-
tent, IL any, to which each railroad
company since June, 1905, has beeen
engaged in buying or selling grain;
the extent so far as may be known to
, which any officer or employe of the
| railroad has been engaged in the
operation of any elevator; his descrip-
ton Of all special facilities or priv
ileges which the railroad companies
during the past three years provided
under stress of competition or other
conditions or to increase the volume
of grain traffic over the lines of rail-
roads together with details of such
| special privileges or facilities, and a
statement showing in detail the
methods OF the railroad companies in
distributing cars for the shipment of
grain.

1.-The increased production of gold
has brought in part the benefit we ex-
pected to secure from the restoration
of silver The per capita volume of
money in the United States is almost
so per cent greater now than it was
in 1896, and the benefits brought by
this increase have not only indicated
the cumulative theory of money but
have proven the benefits of the larger
amount of money. No advocate of the
gold standard can claim the triumph
of his logic.

BILE for sthe Irregularities in
Kansas Funds
Publishers PressI

Topeka, Kan, July I3.--In the case
of the state OF Kansas versus the
state treasurer. Thomas T. Kelly,
Judge Dana banded down a decision
in favor Of Kelly.
Discrepancies and shortages in the,
Office were alleged to have been founc
by a firm of accountants employed By
the state. Judge Danas decision is
that il there were any discrepancies or
shortages as charged, Kelly is not
liable. There never was any question
of accounting for the full face value
of warrants concerned in the investi-
CATION. Certain warrants were not
paid by the state for want of funds
and the state treasurer sold them.
From the time the warrants were thus
stamped they became Understanding
papers. The attorney general, in
drawing up the papers in the present
suit, computed the life of the warrants
at two years and found that if the
state had held the warrants the full
time, $4,000 interest could have been
collected. He brought suit for this
amount.
The suit was the elimination of an
attack on Kelly, whose actions are up
held by Judge Dana in his decision.

MR.. BRYAN REMOVES THE VEIL

Under a constant fire of interview
ers in "ole Lunnum," our esteemed
sojourner, William Jennings Bryan,
has admitted that free silver is still
dear to his heart; that his ideas on
monetary matters have not changed
but that the money question Is not
now an issue. 1t would seem that
with all the intelligence usually at
tributed to Mr.. Bryan that he fails
to CLEAN new wisdom from conditions
that exist. He has visited foreign
nations, has Investigated conditions
for himself and has shown in some in
stances wherein great benefits might
come from reform of some kind. He
the prosperity or the depression of
other countries has had it's origin, but
his vision as 1t is applied to his own
country still remains narrow. The
prosperity of long standing which has
been ours has failed to impress Mr.
Bryan, at least he assumes, by his
assertion that his ideas on the silver
question are unchanged, that the same
condition of prosperity that now ex-
lists would be with us under differ
ent system of currency. Admitting
that the money question is not now
an issue, Mr.. Bryan unconsciously,
perhaps. admits that the people of his
country are contented and happy I'M
der the gold standard, yet by declar.
ing that his love for the old issue still
burns, he indicates purpose to bring
into practice the free silver propa-
ganda should opportunity present. OF
course he does not say so. But
The time Is coming within "a few
short months when the people who
over Bryan. will realize that he wears
the same old free silver clothes con-
cealed beneath an overcoat of "anti.
trust and anti-wealth" issues. Strip
him of the ideas of good government
which the present Republican admin.
istration has put into practice, and
Bryan's old follacies will still be
found. He is the same today as he
was ten years ago, but not gaining
what he wished by one method he has
shrewdly abandoned his pet hobby as
an tissue" and takes more popular
ideas to expound to the people. On
the money question here is what
Bryan said in his London interview
on Thursday:

by some as conservative, and in order
