Reading Road Indicted
 To be Made Test Case

Philadelphia, June 17.-In the indict- ment of the Philadelphia & Reading Railway by the Grand Jury for allow ing lower freight rate than that pub- lished in the schedule of the com merce commission, arises an import ant question, regarding what is to be legally recognized as the original point of shipment and merchandise import ed from foreign ports. The proceed ings, which were started by the Gov ernment, constitute a test case of the point at issue.
 A carload of heet sugar had been inn ported from Hamburg, Germany, its destination being Alberta, Canada No Canadian port was acceptable for the delivery of the sugar, and the ship ment was sent to the port of Philade1- phia, and was handled by the Reading for part of the way to Alberta.
 United States authorities aver. that to all intends and purposes of that act the carrying of the sugar by the de- fendant was an original shipment, the starting point being the local port, and not Hamburg. ,..

Congress and the public must await

est from all parts Of the country as
it was to be a test of an important
principle. It is unfortunate that
this test should have been made
under the direction of such men as
Gov. Haskell and the state treasur-

appear to have been using the law
for personal aggrandizement.
