Fruitmen
3 SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

WASHINGTON, July 24.-The inter
state commerce commission today in
an opinion read by Commissioner
Prouty rendered its decision in the case
Of the wholesale fruit and produce as
sociation against the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe railroad company and
others.
The complaint in this case alleged
that previous to January 1, 1908, de-
PENDANTS loaded and unloaded at their
own expense in Chicago carloads OF
fruit and vegetables when shipped in
have compelled shippers to bear the ex-
penses OF such loading and unloading
whereby members OF complainant asso-
citation have been subject TO unreason-
able rates and an unjust burden.
The commission held that where car
load shipments are to a consignee who
is the owner of the entire contents OF
the car, and where. therefore, delivery
is made upon the team tracks Of the
defendant they should furnish in the
future, as they have in the past, the
necessary help to take these packages

livery to the consignee. and that the
present rule of defendants which re-

AS TO consolidated carloads the car
rier discharges its full duty if it places
such a carload upon its team tracks
and brings the packages TO the car door
for delivery. 1t is under no obligat tor
TO furnish a place for the asserting OF
these packages and making delivery tc
the different individuals TO whom the
carload is addressed, but in case il
performs this additional service one
cent per 100 pounds is a reasonable
charge for such service.
The commission further declared that
IL could not be stated as q matter ot
law that It was the absolute duty Of
carriers to unload carloads of package
freight nor that this duty rested upor
the shipper, as there was no hard and
fast rule Of law upon the subject.
It was further held that rule ol
regulations prescribing who shall loaC

regulations affecting rates and are
therefore subject TO the control of tn.

For Playing Cards.

Some eight MeXicans were
pulled" last week for playing
cards in a box car near the depot.
One of them was tried Tuesday
evening before a jury in the JUS
tice court and convicted. The
county attorney prosecuted and
Buie & Scott defended.
The defense cOntended among
other things, that the box car in
which defendant played being
the car in which he lived and
slept, md part of a train of cars
which formed the residence of
his immediate employer or boss
that he, the defendant, was not
guilty under the statute invoked
by the State.
The other cases are companion
cases to the one tried and the
fate of one is likely to be that
of all.
Wednesda the other cases
were called, a plea of guilty en-
tered in three of them and the
others dismissed. Fines and
costs were paid and thus the mat
ter ends.

Line Up for J. c. Hunt.

J. c. Hunt, Esq, is now a full
hedged candidate for the Legis-
lature, having filed his applica-
ton with the proper authorities
to have his name placed on the
Democratic primary ticket as
such. The time for doing this
expired June /. Whether or not
Representative Bowman will also
be in the field is still an open
question. 1t is cOntended by
some of Bowman's friends that
he will; others contend that he
failed to get his application in for
place on the primary ticket and
there are those who say that
Bowman will run for Congress.
However this may be Hunt is out,
he says, and this being so the
Democrats of Randall county will
line up solidly behind him.
