Transportation Rates Problem.

Another matter that has already claimed
the attention Of the council is the rul-
ing of the interstate commerce commits
sion that rail and water rates on export
goods should be published and changed
only after due notice, just as all rail
rates are published. This is a rather
involved question.
There are many rail lines that make
q joint rate with the steamship COM
panies, both to Europe and the orient
whereby goods from st. Louis, Cincinnati
or any other point can be shipped to their
destination across the Atlantic or the
Pacific on a single tariff.
The water rates are quoted in London,
Berlin and Antwerp and changed from
day to day: The suez. the trans-Pacific
and the Magellan routes all come into
competition. Water-borne freight rates
fiuctuate violently as there is tonnage
The railroads II they are able to name
joint rates with the shipping lines at
will can change them over night and get
a good deal of business that would other
wise be lost to them. In view Of the rul-
ing Of the interstate commerce commits
sion they are handicapped.
The Great Northern Pacific steamers,
the few American owned Atlantic lines
and others say they had just as well go
present conditions with the subsidized
German. Japanese and other lines.
The council Of commerce has appointed
an expert committee to look into the
matter. It's report will have consider
able weight with this government in
modifying or not modifying the ruling Of
the interstate commerce commission.

PURPOSES ARE APPROVED
Treasury Will Seek It's Cooperation
in Customs Cases.
INFORMATION TO BE GATHERED
German Methods Offer Example Of
Alertness to Opportunity Which
Will Be Studied.

It seems from the statements of the
President and the members of the
cabinet directly interested in its opera
ton that the sympathies of the present
administration are with the newly organ
ICED council of commerce quite as strong
ly as the preceding administration, under
which it was organized.
The executive committee of the council
was here last week and called on the
President, Secretary Knox, Secretary Nc
Veagh and Secretary Nagle. Under the
latter most Of its activities will be car
ried on.
President Taft said he .elL genuinely
interested in the formation of body
of business men who would be able to
speak with authority as to the needs OF
the country and whose headquarters here
could act as a clearing house between
the private business interests and the
government This was the general at
titude of the officials of the administra-
ton, and feeling that its work would be
both appreciated and aided, the council
is going ahead with its organization and
correspondence.
Large Membership Wanted.
One of the first things that demands
attention is the accumulation of a large
membership. This Is desirable. both to
share the expense OF the work among as
many organizations as possible and to
make the council really representative of
the whole business life of the United
States.
The responses that have so far been
made by the chambers of commerce. the
boards of trade and the business mems
associations of the country indicate that
they are interested in having direct rep
resentation in Washington.
Headquarters of the council have been
opened in the Adams building on street.
in the same building with the bureau of
manufactures and the bureau of statistics,
with both of which the council will keep
in close touch. Il is too soon to name all
the lines of activity that the work will
involve, but the Treasury Department has
already said that it would be glad of
practical aid and suggestions in admin
istering the customs act as touches inn
pcrtations.
OF course the amount of duties are fixed
by law, but there is considerable latitude
in the administration of the law. There
are frequent questions of valuation of i'm
ported goods.
In some cases, they are obvious
iy and purposely undervalued. In
other cases there is serious ques-
ton whether the valuation is too
low or if whether there Is any real in
tentiOn to defraud.
1t will be of considerable help both to
the Treasury and to the importers to
have a responsible and unprejudiced body
OF business men who can act as inter-
medfaries in case of doubt.

The fishing schooner AlgOma sighted
the wandereF and when the fishermen
boarded her they found q candle burn
ing low In the cabin. Apparently the
Clifford's crew had left her but q few
hours previously and had forgotten to
Lenuh this candle. What became OF the
crew IL q mystery. The fishermen
found not bite to eat on the Clifford
and left her. They put into Pensacola
for q supply Of food and then sailed
back 70 the Clifford, hoping 10 salvage
her. Instead Of q sailing vessel the
fishermen found q pillar Of fire, the
James 6. Clifford being burned to the
waters edge when they reached her
side. Who or what started this FIRE,
who visited the vessel in the fishermen's
absence, are questions which have not
been answered and the fishermen are
sure that no light was left by them on
the Clifford which might have caused
the blaze.

Scared The Robbers

The following story comes from Mis-
souri, and of course it's true:
Last week Thomas Caywood and John
Dodson met at Glenwood small town
near Kirksville, and Caywood remarked
to Dodson:
John, 1 Am here to get my half of
that money" and thereby hangs a
tale.
Five years ayo Dodson and Caywood
got good supply of joy water at Glen
wood and started on their way home,
eight miles southwest of town, at a
rather late hour Their road led hy
the Bethel cemetery, which stands on
rather isolated spot few miles out
of Glenwood. When they rode up to
the burying ground, they saw wagon
and team staining near the fence, and
heard voices ot two men coming from
the cemetery. The farmers concealed
themselves in Tia brush near the road
to see what WITS going on in the Gene
terry. Presently the two men emerged
from the graveyard conveying a body
which was put into the wagon and
covered with IL canvas. Then they
went into the yn"d to fill the open grave.
While they wIt'e gone Dodson AID
Caywood stole from the brush and
carefully took the body from the wag-
on and Ibid it beside the fence in o
dark corner. Dodson then crawled
into the wagon and covered himself
with the canvas. The. grave snatch
ers returned from their work and
started off south, toward Kirksville,
Caywood following. After they had
Travelled mile they begen to feel
chill resulting from their hard labor
then drew biz; black bottle and pro-
posed drink. The other grabbed the
bottle and said. Lets give the stiff a
drink" Dodson slowly raised his body
and in sepulchr,Il voice accepted the
drink with the W ,rds:
well don't cIre if I do"
This was rather too much for the
grave openers, who bolted, leaving
their team in TIE middle of the road.
Caywood soon arrived OH the scene
and 1T was agr"'l that Dodson should
take possession 81 the wagon and team
which he did. AFTER the body had been
carefully re-interred in the cemetery.
Dodson and Caywood said nothing
about the affair." but decided they
would hold the wagon and team for
five years and would sell the outfit at
that time if no one came to claim it,
NO one came and the five years expir-
ed this week. Caywood was ON the
scene promptly. the wagon and team
sold for $500, AMI the compact between
the two men was carried out.
