WASHINGTON, July s.-The interstate

lowances of "a cents per hundred pounds
to hay and grain produce dealers by
railroad companies at Nashville is made
Tor convenience of dealer for grain unload
ed or sacked at his place whether eleva-
ton Is involved or not, and therefore is
an undue and unlawful discrimination
against complainants who are made no
such allowance for similar service. De-
cision increases cost OF such products "a
cents a hundred when brought from
Nashville.
In southern classification territory same
rate applies to less than carload as APP
plies to carload quantities. 1t is held that
to establish a differential rate because IT
costs carrier more to handle less than
carload lots would increase cost to both
retailer and consumer solely that job

tze a profit in competition with Nashville
jobbers. The prayer is denied on these
grounds. --......
Under rebnling or reshipping privilege
accorded at Nashville on grain, grain
products and hay from Ohio and Missis-
sippi river crossings to southeastern
points, the through rates from the cross

Held: This privilege and the applicauoh
of rates Hereunder obtaining at Nash

SLAYER OF COL. WILLIE
Is ANXIOUS FOR DEATH

LONDON, July 1O.-Madarlal Dhinagri,
the Indian student, who shot and killed
Lieut. Col. Sir William Putt Cursor Wyl-
lie and DR.. Canvas Lalcaca, was today
committed for trial at the Old Bailey for
murder.
The prosecution offered documents con-
tanning the prisoners handwriting, tend5
ing to show that the crime was long pre-
meditated and in revenge for alleged
wrongs to India.
The prisoner, in statement, said:
az do not wish to say anything In de-
tense of myself but simply to prove the
Justice of my deed. AS for myself, do
not think that an English law court has
any authority to arrest and detain me In
prison, or to pass on me sentence OF
death. That is the reason I have not
employed counsel.
81 maintain that If IT is patriotic for
Englishmen to fight against the Germans
If they occupy this country, then 1t is
much more justifiable and more patriotic
in my case to fight against the English.
IT hold that the English people are
responsible for the murder OF SO.0O0.UOO
of my countrymen during the last fifty
years, and that they are also responsible
for the taking from India of one hundred
million pounds every year from India to
this country. I also hold that they are
responsible for the hanging and deporta-
ton of my patriotic eountrymen, who do
lust what the English here are advising
their countrymen to do. If the Germans
have got no right to occupy this country
then the English have no right to occu-
py India, and 1t is perfectly justifiable
on our part to kill any Englishman who
is polluting our sacred land"

WILL BE GREAT
GRAIN SHIPPING CENTER

considerable quantity by the river from
the west to Nashville its transshipment
south had entirely ceased many years ago.
The elevators at Nashville were remote
from the river, and could not be used for
this purpose. Notwithstanding these
changes Of conditions, the railroads con-
tinuel to allow and pay these elevation
charges. amounting in recent years to
three-fourths of cent a hundred pounds.
This then became the equivalent of a re-
bate in that amount to shippers in the
the favored cities. Not only this, but the
grain elevated might be shipped in any
quantity TO any destination in the south
east at any time within six months, or
other like grain might be substituted.
REBILLING PRIVILEGES.
The rebilling privileges permitted the
dealer at Nashville to ship grain In from
the west, elevate. grade and sack It, and
then at any time within six months to re-
ship the grain. or any part of it, or any
other similar grain, to points in the south
east at the proportion Of the through
rate from the original point of Shipment
The dealer in Atlanta, and other south~
eastern cities, was required to pay the
full rate to his city, and then reship at
the full local without being allowed any
thing for sacking the grain. These privi-
leges combined gave Nashville very de-
cided preference in rates over other cities
The result OF this method was that the
Nashville dealer could ship a carload Of
grain from the Ohio river to Nashville
have II elevated with an opportunity 70
inspect, grade. mix and sack 1t, receiving
therefor an elevation payment, and then
reship in smaller quantities to Atlanta,
Macon, Columbus and other Georgia
cities, at as low q rate Of freight as the
dealer in either of these Georgia cities
could bring the same grain from the
river crossing direct to his own city On
through bill of ladlng in carload lots Not
only this, but the Nashville dealer could
deliver at the junction points in Georgia
at a lower rate than any dealer In either
of the Georgia cities could. Thus the
dealer in Nashville could purchase car
load of grain In Louisville and after in
specting, grading. mixing and sacking in
Nashville could rebill to Griffin at a total
cost of 20 cents per 100 pounds, less an
elevation allowance of three-fourths of a
cent a 100 pounds paid to him by the rail-
roads. The Atlanta dealer was required
to pay the rate from Louisville to At
lanta, amounting to "a cents a 100 pounds.
and in addition thereto the local from At
lanta to Griffin of cents. making total
of 80 cents, or cents a 100 pounds more
than Nashville was required to pay.

In the form OF commercial plant food as
we have sold without an adequate return.
II Il had not been for the natural rich
ness Of our soils. we could not have done
this, but now that the available
stores Of plant food which nature had
been hundreds Of years accommodating
have been used up. we are forced 70 pur-
sue other methods Of practice in order to
raise profitable crops. Let us cease the
waste incident to exporting more than
$4,000 600 worth OF plant food In cotton
seed meal as we did In 1907. for which we
received no adequate return.
But this Is only one of the ways In
which we are prostituting cotton seed
meal Attention has already been direct
ed to the enormous loss incident to the
use OF seed so largely as food or fertilizer,
since the oil contained is of no benefit
in crop production. The 2,oss,666 tons OF
seed which were kept on the farms in
1907 would have yielded ordinarily 81, 80
tons OF cotton seed meal. This meal, II
rightly handled, should have been worth
as feed and fertilizer $50 a ton, or So
o&.eOo. It may be urged that this is q
very high feeding value. but suppose 1t Is
cut I'm two, we have the sum OF approx
mately 81. ooo.o 900, and yet we have re-
food value OF these two million and more
tons, while we have turned into the chan
nels of commerce product worth over
SIS 0o0. 900 a year. There should be fair
basis agreed upon between the oil mills
and the farmer, so that this enormous
amount OF money could be saved TO the
farmers OF the south Nature has given
US a seed OF marvellous utility, but appa-
rently we are dissipating by far the great
er part Of it's actual value, and just so
long as we continue this needless extraor-
binary and untustinable waste. just that
much longer will we have to bear the
burden Of an ever-increasing annual out
lay for commercial plant food.
In Georgia in 1907, 15.sT tons Of seed
were produced. OF this amount Ss1, 399
tons were crushed, or ass per cent Of the
crop. From the crushed seed there was
manufactured Isl, Se2 tons OF meal and
IsS, ses tons Of hulls. The hulls are low
In plant food. but OF course were fed at
home for the most part. What proportion
OF the meal was exported or sent north
cannot be defitely stated. but one OIL mill
man reported TO the writer this year that
OF 1850 tons put out by his mill up TO thar
time. 1000 tons had gone north. 100 tons
were sold for foodstuff in the state, and
400 tons for fertilizer. II this represents
the figures available for even a small per-
centage OF our oil mills, what stream OF
gold Is passing out OF the state and not
bringing an adequate return.
This article has not been written In a
spirit OF captious criticism, but rather to
point out the great economic loss which
we are now suffering from a failure to
utilize one of the great gifts of nature
acoording.to the dictates Of science.

The recent grain case" decision of the
interstate commerce commission declares
to be unlawful the elevation allowances
and re-shipping privileges heretofore &C
corded Nashville, and requires that they
shall be discontinued by September first.
This means that hereafter Nashville will
be put on a plane of equality with other
southern cities in the matter of trans
portation charges, and will be deprived OF
the unjust determinations with which she
has been heretofore favored. 1t means
that Atlanta will take on new prestige as
one of the great grain shipping centers
of the whole country.
The complaint in this case was brought
by wholesale dealers In Atlanta, Augusta,
Macon, Columbus Cordele, Albany, VAL
dosta, Dublin, Montezuma, Rome and
Athens for the removal of determinations
existing against the Georgia cities in ia
vor of Nashville. These determinations
consisted of what is known as elevator
allowances and the re-shipping privilege.
as a result of which Nashville contained
a preference or advantage Of from eight
to fifteen dollars a carload on grain and
grain products over other southern cities
to destinations within Georgia and Car
DINA.
ELEVATION ALLOWANCES Elk
PLANNED.
Elevation allowances came into exist
ence in the days when there was a diff
ference In the gauge between the northern
and southern railway lines. In those days
when a carload of grain from the west
reached the Ohio river it had to be IN
loaded and then reloaded in other
cars for destinations south Of the river.
The cost of this trans-shipment was borne
by the railway lines. At Louisville and
Cincinnati there were grain elevators
possessing facilities for unloading the in
coming cars, and of reloading those out
bound cheaper than the railway compa-
MES could do it. The railroads then, rath-
err than perform the service themselves,
paid the elevators to do 1t. This was a
convenience to the owners Of the grain be-
cause II gave them the opportunity of
inspecting, grading and sacking the grain
free of elevation charge. The same al
lowance was extended to Nashville, either
through favoritism or in order to permit
trans-shipment OF grain received by the
Cumberland river boats.
The reason for allowing elevation
charges on the Ohio river disappeared
nearly thirty years ago, when the SOUTH
ern railroads adopted the standard guage
of the northern lines. so that cars from
the north and west could cross the Ohio
river, and come south without breaking
bulk. If any grain had ever moved IN
