SUGAR MEN ANXIOUS.
Decision IN Discrimination Case Is
Erpected Soon.

The sugar refining interests are awaiting with
much speculation the decision soon expected from
the Interstate Commerce Commission on the charges
of discrimination in rates made by the Federal
Sugar Refining Company of Yonkers and some other
independent refiners of Philadelphia. against the
Ba ltimore & Ohio the Central Railroad of New
Jersey, the Delaware, Lackawanna Western, the
Erie the New York, Ontario & Western, the Penn
sylvania and the New York Central The Federal
company omits the New York Central from its
complaints and the Philadelphia concerns leave out
the Pennsylvania.
The case is not one relating to secret rebates,
intmated in the story from Washington
about the filing Of brief last Saturday with the
Interstate Commerce Commission by Frank L.
Neall for Philadelphia interests The COM
plant of the Federal Sugar Refining Company is
that the railroads it with the exception of
the Pennsylvania. make allowances for lighterage,
drayage and carriage for Manhattan and Brooklyn
concerns which it does not enjoy, because it is
of the so-called lighterage limits, which
tend north to 125th street. The lighterage allow
ance amounts to is cents on the hundred pounds,
and the drayage and carriage to 2 cents the
hundred. The Pennsylvania has cut off the latter
allowance. The total allowance of s is cents on
the hundred pounds makes 81 80 a ton These
known as accessorial allowances and the prin-
cipal benefactors under this arrangement the
complaint says, the American Sugar Refining
Company and Arbuckle Brothers.
The Federal company asks that it be placed on
the footing in the matter of allowances
is willing that they be abolished altogether There
is secret made of the allowances granted In
the case of rebates but they advertised IN the
tariffs of the railroad companies. The Federal
company says in its brief that if the Interstate
Commerce Commission should decide that the
ghterage limits should not be rearranged so as
to include Yonkers, then the complainants argue
that they entitled to start from the line of the
ghterage limits, where 1t crosses the Hudson
River. on equality with those within the limits
Frank L. Neal, representing Philadelphia ship
ping. says through counsel that the allowances for
accessorial services is discrimination that will
seriously injure that part if permitted to continue
He alleges, further, that the so-caed Sugar Trust
is the chief beneficiary of this discrimination and
that the latter hopes thereby to take away the
sugar refining business of Philadelphia

ATCHISON'S REPORT.
Decrease an Net Earnings of Fiue

The report of the AtchiSon, Topeka & Santa Fe

fiscal year chargeable to capital account for the
construction and acquisition of additional railways,
equipment and other properties and for additions
and betterments amounted in the aggregate to s22.
414,736 Sc
The report says that beginning with January. the
monthly gross earnings began to fall off seriously,
and have continued to do So The loss of s4,324,-
879 q in gross freight earnings may be accounted
for in the main by shortage Of wheat and cot
ton crops which caused loss of about s2.250G00,
and by reduction of traffic in miscellaneous mer-
chandise and manufactured articles, which caused
loss of about s2,00OO00.
The recession of business found the company
gagged in extensive construction and improvement
work. some of which was SO far advanced that it
could not be suspended without great loss. Such
work. therefore, vigorously pushed and sub
stantially completed. although this resulted in
heavy increase of operating expenses. Other
struction and Improvement work, although highly
desirable from the point of view Of economy of
operation and good service to the public
pended, and will not be taken up again until con-
ditions improve the directors being of the opinion
that il would not be prudent to expend more capi-
tai in new construction, however desirable for the
development of the country and for the .oeneft of
the public, and, therefore, for the first time in
the history of the company there plans in
hand for the construction Of extensions.
Mr.. Ripley, president OF the company, says in his
report that there indications that the thinking
public has begun to appreciate that the policy of
harassing the railroad companies has gone too
far, and it is to be hoped that this will be reflect
ed in the action of those charged with making and
administering the laws
The company paid taxes in the year of S3,244595

Galena, Kas., Feb. 3, 1908
The impending struggle be-
tween democracy led by Mr.. Bry-
an on the one hand representing
all classes of people who favor
an administration of our public
affairs in the lterest Of all the
people, against the republican
party and its administration Of
governmental affairs in the in
terest of Wall street, the trusts
and corrupt combinations, will be
memorable in history as the turn
ing point in the affairs of this
nation. That. the principles Of
Thos. Jefferson will finally pre-
vail there can be no question; but
now of all times it is important
that those principles should be
indorsed by victory at the polls.
In this presidential race Mr..
Bryan needs the electoral vote OF
Kansas and can get it if the
right efforts are put forth. II
will require much work and a
careful organization of our forces.
Of the many honorable places
you have to bestow, is that OF
member of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee. A place Of
considerable responsibility, re-
quiring if properly attended to,
much time and attention. ! hope
you will not think it presumpti-
Gus on my part in asking for the
place. 1t is a matter of party
business, and if in your opinion /
can in that position do as much
good for the cause and your can
didate as any other aspirant, l
shall feel grateful for the honor,
and will discharge the duties of
the Office with the same care and
attention as l do my private bust
ness. To that end / ask. you to
take my name under considera-
tien at the Hutchinson conven-
tion on February 21.
