FREIGHT RATE klnDEL AGAIN.
Interstate Commerce Commission Asks
for Further Evidence.


for Further Evidence.
Devastated by the Interstate
Commerce Commission to forward to
that body any further evidence he
might have secured relating to the un-
Just discrimination against Denver in
the matter of freight rates. George j.
Kindel has sent facts and figures relat-
ing to four cases, showing plainly, In
his opinion, the discrimination al
legged.
Thascher. who established a 1obbing
house for boots and shoes In Denver
and IL contemplating moving to Ore
gon because OF the dixcriminAtiye
freights against him in his line. Mr..
Kiudel finds that the rate on rubber
boots and shoes from Boston to Den
yer, all rail. is $2.72, while from Bos-
ton to Portland. Oregon, all rail, 1t Is
but S1.85. From Denver to Boise,
Idaho, the rate Is $40, while from
Portland to the same point 1t is but
$3.50, showing that Denver suffers a
total handicap on the points in ques-
tion of 1927 per hundred weight.
II these same goods are shipped to
Reno via Denver from Boston, the
freight is $5.92; whereas, IL shipped
from Boston to Portland and back
again to Reno. the freight is but 1854.
Another case is that of George o.
Miller Of Denver, who received a ship
ment of books from Portland, for
which the bill Of lading gave a $1.60
rate, but for which his expense bill
shows he was forced to pay at the rate
of So per hundred weight. This, in the
face of the fact that books shipped
from Portland to any Missouri river
point, would have beer paid for at the
rate Of $1.50 per hundred weight.
Kindel also cites the cases Of ]. T
Caughlin, charging exorbitant rates
against Denver on motorcycles. and OF
r. M. Davis, charging excessive over
charge on Photographic materials from
the Mississippi river to Denver. Kindel
states that these four men are ready
to sign the complaints which may be
drawn to cover the cases in question.

Denver.-1nquiry into the sanity Of
Former Governor John L. Routt has
been begun In the County Court. A
jury has been impaneled upon the for
mer governors mental condition.
Owing to the fact that the lunacy

Routt Collins against her father vas
irregular in form. Judge Charles Nc
Call granted the request Of Attorney
Charles, A. Stokes. representing Mrs
Collins. for a continuance until May

Besides Attorney Stokes there were
present in court when the case was
called Attorney Ralph Hartzell, Attor-
ney Ben C. Hilliard, guardian ad litem
appointed by the court; Stuart d. Wal
ling, representing John H. Routt, and
County Attorney Fred Parks.
No testimony was taken at the in
quiry, although the intention had been
to have Mrs. Collins and other mem
bers of the family testify as to the con
dition Of the governors mind. Then
the members of the jury were to have
visited the Routt home to ascertain for
themselves his mental condition.
The petition filed by Mrs. Collins.
which forestalled any attempt of the
four remaining, children Of Governor
Routt to make a fight to contest the
will left by Mrs. Routt and also the
trust deed executed few days before
her death, which transferred 100000
worth OF real estate to Mrs. Collins,
and which has been suppressed, is
now made public for the first time. 1t
reads as follows:
ITO the Hon. Ben b. Lindsey, judge
OF County Court:
"Your complainant, Lila Routt Col
Inns Of said city and county OF Denver,
respectively, makes complaint against
John L. Routt and allege:
THAT said John l.. Routt Is luna
tic, or an insane person, and is SO dis
tracted in mind as to be incapable Of
properly or safely attending to his af-
fairs or managing his estate.
"That said John l.. ROutt was the
husband Of Eliza J. Routt, late of the
said city and county OF Denver. who de-
parted this life in said city and county
of Denver on March %, A. D. 1907.
"That said deceased left last will
and testament, wherein the said John
l.. Routt was named as devisee and
beneficiary. and by virtue Of the said
will the said John l.. Routt is entitled
to real and personal property, which
he Is incapable Of properly managing.
"That by the insane condition Ofit The
said John L. Routt he is incapable OF
realizing the effect Of or understanding
the citation which must be served upon
him before said will can be probated
in this court.
Wherefore your complainant re-
spectfully asks that inquiry may be
made into the sanity Of said John l..
Routt and whether he is SO insane or
distracted in mind as to render him in
capable Of managing his estate, then
your complainant prays that conserv-
ator be appointed by this court to care

tate Of said John L. Rcutt in accord

Pueblo, Colo.-Ten years ago Abner
Greenwich, a lad of seventeen, disap-
peared mysteriously from his home In
Pueblo. His mother, q widow, believed
he had been murdered.
The police OF Pueblo and other cities
searched for him but without finding a
clew which would lead to the expiana'
ton Of the mystery, and In year the
disappearance of Abner Greenwich
was forgotten, for the haunting face
OF the mother was seen no longer at

boy. She had died Of grief.

ner Greenwich, who, in letter writ

John McGovern, says he is returning

and the sands Of its fever-ridden rivers.

which his mother spent in her lonely
search for her son.

Greenwich says that firing OF

mination to disappear and not return
until he had $1,000,000.
With the carelessness and cruelty OF
boyhood, he never once thought of the
sorrow he would cause his mother, but,
meeting q young college graduate from
Chicago, he stealthily left Pueblo, and.
reaching New Orleans, sailed with his
companion on a ship bound for Peru.
For the first three years they suffered
all the privations of hunger. thirst and
fever, and found themselves further
handicapped by their ignorance Of the
native language. Then, becoming ia
