Word was received a. Reno yes
terday afternoon from Franklin K.
Lane, the interstate commerce COM
missioner who is conducting the hear
ing at Spokane on complaints made
by the shippers against the railroads
that he would arrange to come to
Reno and begin hearing in Nevada
as soon as the people OF the state
lodged formal complaint He stated
that when such complaint was lodg-
ed with the authorities at Washington
D. c.. that he would Immediately
come to the state and begin the hear
ing.
Yesterday afternoon the Nevada

up a petition for the hearing and Ii
will be sent to Washington, D. c., as
soon as possible. The complaints OF
discrimination against the shippers
Of the state will be made in formal
manner and it is expected that Lane
will act quickly in accordance with
his promise.
In a statement issued last night
John w. Whitson, of the Publicity
Bureau stated that at the presen,

Reno TO Goldheld was greater thar
from Chicago to San Francisco, ane
this with other Determinations of ar

- A Compromise Possible
AS mentioned in the Appeal yeste1

Dividing the county so that Cole
