to do SO. As commodity rates are al
ways much lower than the class rates
and are created for the purpose of
granting lower rates, their abolition
necessarily raises the rates.
Traffic representatives of eastern
roads have been at work for weeks go
Ing over all commodity rates and
wedding them out by the score, with
a view to increasing revenues as much
as possible. In some of this work the
western roads have participated, as
some of the commodities affected could
not be increased without joint action.
For publication traffic men are in
clined to deprecate the joint effort
which is being made by the railroads
to secure more revenue by increases in
the rates. The movement has been a
gradual one, starting with the trunk
lines and extending westward.

such a food is Grape-Nuts. 1t not

A Phila lady, after being benefited
herself, persuaded her husband to try
Grape-Nuts for stomach trouble. She
writes:

better and from that time I seldom

that he could eat hardly anything
with comfort. 1 got him to try Grape

TO INCREASE RATES.
Western Traffic Manager Will Meet
Monday to Discuss Changes.

Chicago, ILL.,, March 9.-Following
the example of eastern railroads, west
ern lines are preparing to make in
creases in freight rates by changes in
the commodities. A call has been is
sued for a special meeting of the west
ern trunk line committee, to be held
Monday. and it is stated that the pur-
pose is to consider the advisa bility of
taking out or changing commodity
rates Western traffic men did not
talk very freely regarding the matter
today and some of them stated that
there might not be any changes. They
declared that it has been customary
to hold a meeting every year for the
purpose of considering changes in the
commodity rates and that they did not
expect to make any material increases
by an elimination of such rates and a
restoration of articles to the various
class rates. On the other hand, there
is no doubt that the traffic men are
preparing to take out commodity rates

Freight Congestion at Height on Ill
noiS Central Lines


noiS Central Lines.
Duquoin, ILL.,, March 9.-Probably
never before in the history of the IL
linois Central railroad, according to Of
ficials, has the st. Louis division of
that road been in a more congested
condition than at the present time.
The yards between ST. Louis and
Mounds. the southern terminal of the
division, and between Centralia and
Carbonate, are taxed to capacity, and
in many instances siding tracks have
been pressed into services to accom-
modate the immense traffic. Coal
shipments from mines along the ST.
Louis division have been materially
handicapped during the past two
weeks, and present indications offer
no relief. The railroad company has
added extra engines and crews, but as
yet they have failed to facilitate condi-
lions. The railroad company attri-
butes the predicament to the limited
locomotive power.

ONE ARREST LED
To TWO OTHERS

Kenneth Cameron, late of Hilo, walked
into the police station yesterday to
complain about being defrauded of
some money just as the police were
looking for him on a charge of having
defrauded some one else of money. The
story he told the police has also led
to the arrest for investigation of two
others, one Charles Donahue, hack
driver with a somewhat shady reputa-
ton, and the other a crap shooter. Lo-
ma by name.
Cameron is accused of having COM
mitted a gross cheat in HiIo, getting
away with $3.50 in cash. Word to that
effect and a request for his arrest was
sent from the Hawaii sheriff yester-
day to Sheriff Iaukea. Cameron was
unknown to the police and just as
Chief Taylor was issuing instructions
to his specials 10 go out and locate
the man, he walked in with state
ment that Donahue had driven off with
s1O9 left in his custody and had disap-
peared. He was held and the dragnet
was thrown out for the hackdriVer'
He, after being brought in, stated that
he had no money, having been gam
bling ali day with Iona and dropped
his vad. This led to a search for Lo-
ma. who was arrested and searched,
seventy eight dollars being found on
him.
