NEW ORDER IN PEAVEY CASE
Effective Date Still Further Post
poned Until April 1.
CHANGE EFFECTS ENTIRE WEST
Original Order Prohibited Payments
for Elevation of wheat Under
Contracts with RailrOnds-
Affects Omaha Elevators.
From a Staff Corresponding


WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-(Special Tele-
gram. 1.-THE Interstate Commerce com
mission today extended the time in which
railroads shall cease granting elevation
charges from January / to April l. The Sc
cases grew out Of the so-called Peavey
cases in Omaha and Kansas City terri
tory, in which a primary order was made
by the Interstate Commerce commission.
Behind this order is an interesting story,
in which every elevator man in The Bee s
territory is interested.
Under the original bill the Union Pacific
railroad was charged with allowing eleva-
tion charges to Peavey & Co.. who owned
some 450 country elevators in the state of
Nebraska, North and South Dakota, Mime
sofa, Iowa and Kansas besides two large
elevators at Council Bluffs and Kansas
City. As buyers Of grain along the line
of the Union Pacific system they con-
signed this grain to the Omaha Elevator
company at Council Bluffs or the Mid
land Elevator company at Kansas City,
and for which the Union Pacific paid an
elevation charge Of Ia cents per l0C
pounds.
Elevation" is defined by the Interstate
Commerce commission as unloading grain
from cars or grain carrying vessels into a
grain elevator and loading II out again
after a period Of not to exceed ten days"
The retention Of grain in an elevator he
yond the ten day period becomes storage
and is not part Of the service Of elevation
as that word is interpreted in the statute,
Holding as to Rebate.
The Interstate Commerce commission In
1907 held that an allowance made TO a
shipper Of grain who furnished elevation
service under an arrangement with a car
rier was rebate and therefore unlawful
but It was not rebate when the allowance
did not exceed the actual cost to the ship
per Of the service rendered.
! In the Peavey cases, the commission held
Z that an allowance of one and one-fourtf
cents per hundred pounds paid by III,
! Union Pacific and other railroads to tho
Peavey interests was in excess OF tn,
actual cost Of the service and hence a re
! bate, and commission ordered that sucl
allowance be reduced to three-fourths OF
cent per hundred pounds
Now that the circuit court OF appeals fo
the eighth circuit has these cases befor,

that elevation charges shah cease on Jan

All of the newspapers, even the most

to the most searching questions with re-
