COAL HEARING At LINCOLN
Commerce Commissions Agent Listens
to Testimony.

Lincoln. Dec. l%7.-.Iohn II. Marble.
special agent OF the Interstate cons
merce commission, listened 10 evil
dcnce on the complaint of the railway
commission of Nebraska that the
Union Pacific railroad charges its
patrons too much for hauling Coal
from Hanna and Rock Springs, Wye.
TO Nebraska points. The states case
was in charge Of Railroad Commits.
sioner RI. 7. Clarke. Jr,, and he relien
largely upon the schedules OF the
road, claiming the freight rates ON
their face, when compared with
charges to other points no farther dis.
tant, were discriminatory.
Rate Expert u. G. Powell for the
board testified to the published tariff
OF the Union Pacific and a large mum
Der of rates were put In evidence to-
slrow that coal may he hauled long
distances from the Wyoming points at
a charge no greater than a haul of "a
few miles acros the Nebraska state
line. II was shown that an engine OF
a given capacity would haul more in
Nebraska than in Colorado. Wyoming
OF Kansas, II was shown that the
railroad charges more to haul a ton
Ut coal worth $3.50 into Nebraska tina
to haul y ton Of sugar worth $40.
Attorneys for the road disputed the
figures. but offered no specific eyi.
dence in rebu,tal.

were hurriedly entered into, but be.
