CARLOAD RATES,
MIXED FREIGHTS
Important Question Comes up
Today.

CHICAGO, ILL, Spet 16-(Spec-
ialD-Several important cases are
to come before the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission, which began a
series of hearings in Chicago today.
The first on the calendar, and one in
which nearly all the large shippers
of more than one class of freight are
directly interested, is the complaint
brought by the Milwaukee Waukesha
Brewing Company against the St.
Paul and other railroads The brew
ing company desires to get a ruling
which will compel the railroads to
grant carload rates for mixed arti-
cles. Under existing rules of the
roads no carload rates are given
where two or more kinds of articles
are shipped by the same concern in
one car.
Tomorrow this association will take
up the case of the Chicago Sash and
Door association against the Nor
folk & Western, and other railroads
in which unreasonable rates on sash
and doors from Chicago to West
Virginia points are charged, and also
the novel case of Theron F. Miller of
Michigan City, Ind, against the
Michigan Central Railroad company,
in which tho oupStiO0 ic raised who
Their the commission can compel the
railroads to charge no more than the
maximum State rates upon inter
state travel

THE ANERIcus DAILY TDEsRECoRDER sEPTENBER

presented in the form of transcripts
prepared by experts employed by the
oil company, the attorneys for the
government have reserved the right
to demand the production of the orig
inal books, if desired.
1t is not expected that John d.
Rockefeller, who is named as one of
the defendants in the suit, will be
called upon to testify. nor is it pro-
bable that Henry H. Rogers or John
d. Archibold will be called, although
all three of these men are said to be
conversant with the facts that the
prosecution desires to bring out.
If these defendants We're allowed to
testify in the present hearing, they
would probably be immune from pros
ecution, and the government attor-
neys are DESTROYS of preventing any
possible immunity both for the heads
of the trust Frank B. Kellogg, the
Hartman inquisitor, represents I'M
Gle Sam at the hearing, and will like
ly push the prosecution with his GUS

TRUST CASE IS UP AGAIN
Judge FerriSS Not Expected to Permit
Any Further Long DelayS--ReCOrdS
the Company Has Been Ordered
to Produce in Court.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16. Especial -
Before Judge Ferriss, of st. Louis, SIT
ting as special examiner the govern
ment suit against the Standard on
company to have the trust and sew
enty subsidiary corporations dissolV-
ed as illegal concerns will be resumed
tomorrow in the federal building
Judge Ferriss has warned the attor-
news for the defense that there must
be no further delay, and it is thought
that the taking of testimony will now
proceed without another postpone
ment. During the present hearing the
oil company will produce statements
from all it's books, including its old
records, and it is thought that the Sc
crets of the monopoly will be barred as
they have never been at any previous
court hearing. From these books the
prosecution expect to get facts that
will substantiate the charge that the
oil company has carried on its opera
tions in violation of the Sherman anti
trust law.
Among those subponaed to produce
the records are Henry NJ. Flagler and
Wade Hampton, the latter being gen
eral auditor of the company. This
subpoena called for the production of
the following records:

duce the stock books and stock ledg-
ers showing the names of the owners

TWO GIRLS FIGHT a WOLF.
Killed Animal In Blackberry Patch
with 4 Wooden Pail.

Sioux Falls. 8. D.-Two daughters
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. Olson, who live on a
farm in Bon Homme county. with no
weapon other than a common wooden
pail, succeeded in killing fierce wolf
and at the same time prevented the
animal from killing their two dogs.
The wolf was one of the largest ever
seen in that part Of the state. The
girls were out gathering berries, which
they placed in a wooden pail. They
were followed by their two dogs.
While passing along a road which was
skirted by timber, the dogs discovered
huge wolf lying partially concealed
in the shrubbery near the side of the
road.
The wolf was Immediately attacked
by the dogs, but soon demonstrated
that 1t was more than a match for
both of them. Notwithstanding the
danger Of being attacked by the wolf.
one of the girls approached near
enough to deal the wolf number OF
blows ON the head with the pail.
This partially stunned 1t and before 1t
could recover 1t was killed.
