inquiry IN RAISE
Of FREIGHT RATES
WILL BE MADE BY RAILWAY
COMMISSION TODAY.
Railroads May Decide to Back
Up" From Recent Order to In
crease Package Freight Rate
From Is Cents to 40 Cents
Increase Worked HdrdShips.

Today the railroad commission will
call for hearing the matter Of the
recent raise of the minimum charge for
freight of less than 100 pounds, and
the hearing will surely be held unless
the commission receives notice that
the railroads have placed the rate to
the former figure. The increase wa
made simultaneously by all the western
freight from 25 to 40 cents and i'm
mediately there poured in upon the
commission flood of complaints from
shippers, particularly from the many
jobbers in Milwaukee, to whom the
increase Is great hardship. 1t ap-
pears that to some Milwaukee houses
this change of the minimum for pack
age freight amounts to an additional
expense of nearly $1,000 year and
therefore the. railroad commission
determined upon it's own motion to
make an investigation and ascertain
whether or not the railroads were
justified in entering into an agreement
to boost the rate. The matter was set
for hearing early in the present month,
but the time the railroads appeared
and asked that the hearing be delayed
on account of the fact that a meeting
of western traffic managers was in
progress in Chicago for the purpose
of considering the matter, and it was
suggested that the managers were
altogether likely to rescind increasing
the rate. Upon this representation and
for the further reason that numbe
of compiainants desired more time in
which To perpara information showing
the magnitude of the traffic in package
freight and the real import of the
increase, the commIsson deferred the
hearing. Nothing came of the meet
ing Of the traffic managers, who |
seemed disposed to maintain the in
creased rate and the commission had
determined that the hearing will be
held today without fail.
1t WAS learned outside of the rail-
road commission, however, that the
hearing will probably be anticipated
by the railroads with an order plac-
ing the minimum rate back at rs cents. |
The commission, however, has no IN
formation regarding such action and is
proceeding as though Ithe railroads
were determined to continue to exact |
the larger rate.

mont Wood, who is presiding at the
steunenbegg murder trial directed the
prosecuting attorney Of Ada county
to make an investigation of the cir
cumstances under which Harry Or
chard was interviewed for publication
and to take any legal steps that his
inquiry showed to be warranted.
Judge Wood drew attention to the
publication of the interview when he
assembled the bench and his request Of
counsel for advice as to the manner
in which the court should deal with
the incident, brought from the de-
Tense the charge that Governor Good
ing and certain newspapers, moved by
the disclosure that there exists pre-.
judice against Orchard, had sought
to influence the jury by an attempt to
bolster up the credence that may be
given to Orchard IS story. and the sug.
gestiOn that Governor Gooding he
cited fol contempt.
Judge Wood caused a decided sem
sation when he announced that he had
read in the morning papers several
articles concerning an interview with
the states most important witness
against the defendant. He declared
the publications we're highly improp-
er, coming as they did during the i'm.
paneling of the jury.
"While they appear to the court as
not precisely in contempt" said
Judge Wood, ''they are nevertheless
calculated to influence the jury in
this case. Something must be done
to prevent the recurrence of this, IL
we are ever to get jury. The court
is much surprised at this publication
at this time.
The other important development
was the raising Of a question as to
the right of the state to employ 10
peremptory challenges. The state
formerly had but Eve, but at the last
session of the legislature, which was
subsequent to the assassination Of
Governor Steunenberg, the Law was
amended, increasing the number to

Tense. The question was as to
whether this amendment constituted
