DEMURRAGE QUESTION UP.
Authority Of Michigan Railway Com
mission Will BE Decided.

On Thursday the question of the
Jurisdiction of the Michigan railroad
commission with regard TO demurraGe
charges will be brought before the
Interstate Commerce commission by
the Michigan Manufacturers associa-
ton, the transportation bureau of the
Detroit Board of Commerce and the
Michigan Retail Lumber Dealers as
ISOLATION. The shippers complain of
the demurrage charges of the Michi-
gan railroads.
The state railroad commission
claims that il has the right 10 regu-
late these charges, while the railroads
claim that the demurTage rules made
by them and tentatively approved by
the Interstate Commerce commission,
should govern. In accordance with
these rules the railroads have sent
out notices and endeavored to get the
shippers TO sign agreements to OBJ
serve them.
The various local organizations ad
vised their members not TO sign these
agreements on the ground that the
state commission had the right tc
regulate demurrage charges as they
arise out OF interstate business.
For some time shippers have been
at sea on this subject and it is hoped
that IL will speedily be cleared up
The congestion in the freight yards
and sidings around Detroit on account
of the outgrowing of the facilities for
handling the city's business has made
the demurrage problem one OF vast
Importance to Detroit shippers.

RAILROADS LIABLE
TO HEAVY FINES
Hooking Valley and Sunday Greek
Companies Indicted on Charge of
y Discrimination.

TOLEDO, Ohio, Nov. 2.-lndict-
ments charging the Hooking Valley
Railroad company and the Sunday
Creek Coal Co., with discrimination
IN violation of the interstate com
merce law and carrying possible
total fine of $4,000, were returned
by the federal grand jury today after
a session that has extended over
period of several weeks. The Hook
ing Valley was indicted on rs counts
and the Sunday Creek Co. on nine
counts. At the request Of District At
torney Day, Juoge Killits fixed bond
ut $4,000 on each indictment.
Government officials conyersant
with the situation declared the points
drawn In this fight TO be the most I'M
portant ever drawn under the inter
state commerce law. II involves the
right of railroad companies. many OF
which own their own coal companies.
70 discriminate against outsiders by
giving their own companies unlimited
unsecured credit, as is charged in the
case of the Hooking Valley and Sun
day Creek companies.

SAYS HARMON IS
SURE OF VICTORY
John Callan 0'Laughlin Declares
Election Will Be Great Step To-
ward Presidential Nomination.

CLEVELAND, Nov. 2.-Judson
Harmon will be reelected governor Of
Ohio on Tuesday next aud thereby
will become the most formidable
candidate for the presidential nomina-
ton OF the Democracy in 1912, says
John Callan OLaughln. in a special
to the Chicago Tribune
The political complexion of the leg
islsture is in doubt II Harmon wins
by the majority his admirers antici-
pate he will sweep into office with
him a number of Democratic candi-
dates for the state senate and house.
In this case Edward j. Hanley. OF
Dayton. who is connected with a
large number OF public service cor
porations, will be elected to the
United States senate in succession OF
Charles Dick OF Akron, the incum-
bent OF the seat 10 be filled
II the legislature be Republican.
Dick will not be elected 10 succeed
himself This is certain.
The three men who loom most
prominent as factors in the contest
are James K. Garfield who lives just
outside OF Cleveland; Nicholas Long
worth OF Cincinnati and A. l.. Garford
who is one OF the prominent Repub-
lican politicians OF the state
The congressional delegation from
the state probably will not undergo
much change, politically. unless the
landslide for Harmon be greater than
is anticipated At present the dele
cation is divided among thirteen Re
publicans and eight Democrats. The
investigation | have made of congress
sional conditions indicates that seven
Democrats are certain of election.
ten Republicans are reasonably sure
OF being returned TO Washington, and
four districts are in doubt.
