DISCRIMINATION IS ALLEGED
SPOKANE'S CHARGE AGAINST
NORTHWESTERN RAILWAYS.
Claim That Rates Are Unjust, Excess
sive and Injurious to It's Mer-
chants and Shippers.

freight rate contest between Spo-
kane. Wash, and other cities of the
northwest is being threshed out before
the interstate commerce commission. Ar
guments were begun today before that
body in what Is known as the spokane
case'-an action of the city of Spokane
against the Northern Pacific railway, the
Great Northern, the Union Pacific. the
Oregon Railroad and Navigation Com
pany and the Spokane Falls and Northern
railway.
1t was alleged by the complainant that
the defendant lines charge on various
kinds of freight traffic rates to Spokane
equal to the rates charged from eastern
points to Seattle. Tacoma or Portland
s plus the local rates from those cities to
nearer to the points of origin Of the
freight than are the other cities. and in
many Instances the freight has to pass
through Spokane to reach the other cities
before it is shipped back. The claim is
set up that the rates are unjust. excess
i've and discriminatory to the merchants
and shippers of Spokane.
1t is likely that the arguments in the
case VIII consume two days.
Complaint From Oklahoma.
Attorney General Cromwell of Oklahoma
territory today filed with the interstate
commerce commission six complaints
against various western railroad companies.
The complaints, which are against the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, the Chi
cago. Burlington and Quincy and other

FIRST IN THE FIELD.
Chicago Already Moving for the Re.
publican National Convention.

Talk about your hustling towns" said
Mr.. Elmer Dover, secretary Of the re-
publican national committee. who Is In
town today, that town of Chicago is as
suredly one of them. Here 1t is, a year be-
fore the national convention and six months
until the committee meets to select the time
and place of meeting, but Chicago is up and
doing. Chicago wants the convention and is
going after 1t in Chicago fashion.
II am in correspondence now with COM
mittee Of Chicago citizens who wart to
round up the officers of the national COM
mittee and begin their campaigning Chi
cago is the fret city In the field"
1.-The impression has gone abroad that
Chicago was tired of national conventions?
suggested The Star man.
Don't you believe it. Chicago will be
glad to have the convention. don't know
which city will get it. That Is a question
to be determined by the national committee
and may be affected by political considera-
tions. There Is no question that the pres
ence of a national convention In close
state stirs up enthusiasm and arouses in
terest and this Is an element to be taken
into account in selecting the meeting place
Of a convention"
