AFFECTS MANY CLASSES

Ruling Is Favorable to a Score or
More of Carriers and Covers Over
Six Thousand ltems-Freight Rate
on Lumber and Forest Products
Generally Between Omaha and
Nearby States Reduced.
Washington, July 1.-Distinctly IA
Vorable to score or more of carriers
was the action taken by the inter-
state commerce commission in the
cases of the Banner Milling company
against the New York Central and
other carriers engaged in the carriage
OF flour and wheat products from Buff
falo east to the New England states.
The commission decided that, in view
OF the increased expenses of opera
ton, it would not suspend classifica-
ton No. SO, thereby allowing the rail-
roads to make the increases. This
classification affects over 5000 items.
In addition the commission has de-
clded to indefinitely postpone the
hearing granted in the Jennison case.
In this case a couple of score of -four
milling companies in Minnesota filed a
complaint against the Great Northern
Railway company, the Northern Pa
clfic and about two score other rail-
roads and several boat lines operating
on the Great Lakes, charging that
rates on grain and flour from the Mid
die West to Buffalo were dispropor-
tlonate and favored the milling of
grain at Buffalo and other Eastern
milling points.
Rates Never Became Effective.
After a hearing the commission en-
tered an order requiring the carriers
to reduce their rates on flour from
the Middle Western points by rail,
lake and rail, from 20 cents a hundred
pounds to 211a cents hundred
pounds.
This decision of the commission was
to have become effective May 10, but
when the rehearing was granted,
which took place June l, the rates
were postponed and never became ef-
fective.
In another ruling the, commission
reduced freight rates on lumber and
forest products generally from Omaha,
Neb., to various points in Colorado,
Kansas and Nebraska. The reductions
range from one-half cent to cents
a hundred pounds, the average being
approximately " cents a hundred
pounds. The new rates are ordered to
become effective on Sept l next.
The complaint of existing rates was
made by the Commercial club of
Omaha against the Chicago and North
western railway and other carriers in
the Western territory

ANNEXATION OF
KOREA IMMINENT
Japan Taking Preliminary Steps
in Movement

Toxic, July 1.-There is every rea-
son to believe that an announcement
of the annexation of Korea by Japan
is imminent
In accordance with the convention
recently made between Korea and ia
pan the Korean emperor has issued
an edict delegating to the Japanese
government the police administration
Of the country. This is the first step
and the final step will be taken when
Korea is practically under guard. The
garrisons are being steadily strength
ened.
The mass of Koreans accept the re-
ports OF the approaching annexation
with Indifference, but a decided spirit
or unrest and activity among the anti
Japanese element Decessitates precau-
ton prior to the forthcoming announce
ment.
Lieutenant General Viscount Terau-
chi, the Japanese resident general of
Korea, will leave for Seoul, the Korean
capital, on July Is, to confer with
Emperor vi Syek of Korea, who is re-
ported to be in a cOmplaisant state of
mind, in view Of the ample provision
which has been made for him, his i'm

tired of that stock i will take it off
your hands at $780," ''Sold," said
Sherwood, and the stock changed
hands.
In course of time the Nevada bank

ity vested in the sundry civil appro.
priation bill, which appropriated $780,
900 for it's use, the tariff board has
begun thorough and scientific inves-
tigation of the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law. Contrary to insinuations put
forth by the tariff communication ad-
vocates and others the tariff board
has been instructed to proceed along
the lines which make of it a real tariff
commission without political or per-
sonal interference from anybody.
1t is understood to be the policy OF
the administration to go at the facts
first and then revise the tariff and it
is to this end that the tariff board is
directing it's energies.
A series of investigations have been
mapped out in connection with each
schedule of the tariff bill and some of
the leading economists, technologists
and statisticians in the country, none
of whom has any axes to grind, have
been employed to map out the prob
lens to be studied, to secure the in
formation and to compile and analyze
it..

1t can be said without fear of con-
tradiction that the sole instructions
given the tariff board by President
Taft, whose adviser it is, is to get at
the truth, regardless of whom it helps
or hurts" Attempts to bring political
or personal pressure to bear on the
board to do this or that thing have
not only been politely resented by the
board, but the resentment has been
backed up by the president. The
knowledge that the tariff board is pro-
ceeding on it's mission without fear or
favor for the sole purpose of UNFOLDING
the protective system SO far as the
facts warrant and that those who seek
undue favors from the protective sys-
tenn are to be treated as it's enemies
and not as it's friends, has been grad
ually disseminated among the manu-
featuring interests of the country. AS
a result, the manufacturers are meet
