Washington. - President Roosevelt
Friday transmitted to congress the re-
port Of James R. Garfield, commission
or Of corporations, giving the results
Of his investigation Of the subject of
transportation and freight rates In
connection with the oil industry.
In his message the president ex-
presses the view that the report is of
capital Importance because Of the ef-
fort now being made to secure such
enlargement of the powers of the in
terstate commerce commission as will
confer upon the commission power in
some measure adequate to meet the
clearly demonstrated needs Of the sit
uation. The facts set forth in the re-
port, he declares, are for the most part
not disputed. That the Standard OIL
company has benefited enormously up
almost to the present moment by Sc
cret rates, many Of which were clear
~ unlawful, the president says the re-
mort clearly shows

Abolish Secret Rates,

The president then says:
A very striking result of the inves-
ttgation has been that shortly after
the discovery Of these secret rates by
the commissioner of corporations the
major portion of them was promptly
corrected by the railroads, s. that
most of them have now been done

time after falling from the train, ais

dead man is found in the hat, a black
alpine, that he wore. 1t bears the
name of Miller q Weinberg, Hagers'

body was brought to this city on the
next westbound train that passed and

dark green goods, with fine white
stripe. The other pair Of pants were
dark. with a light hair stripe running
through the goods. Over wooden
