COBURN RAPS CROP KILLERS
THE KANSAS SECRETARY DIS
LIKES DAMAGE STORIES.
He Also Advises Against Sowing the
Spring Wheat Because of
Chinch Bug Dangers.

Topeka, Kansas.-Secretary Coburn
is a good deal disguised by some of
the situations growing out of the ell
legged condition of the winter wheat.
He says the hired crop-killers-and
the crop-killer never fails to find what
he is sent after-are junketing up
and down and across the state by
every train as never before, seeing
small fractions of a dozen counties
and reporting on the northumberland
1--WE, and keeping the wires warm with
their messages telling of the 'enor-
nous damage done, and because of it,
as is intended, suckers are biting and
being bitten every minute"
All this has started lot of talk
about sowing spring wheat on the
ground where the winter wheat is
found actually killed. Coburn is hos
tile to the spring wheat suggestion
for Kansas for several reasons. First
Iy, he claims that "the history of grain
growing in Kansas shows clearly that
spring wheat fields are the most sue
cessful chinch bug nurseries yet dis
covered, a fact well worth consider
ing, particularly in a season when
sntomologists are predicting chinch
bugs in far more than usual numbers
Further, the prevalence of these in
sects and the damage they did when
spring wheat was a prominent crop,
and the fact that they have virtually
disappeared since spring wheat SOW
ing has been so largely abandoned
should afford lesson farmers cannot
we'll ignore"

Orient Machine Shops Destroyed

Fairview.-The Orient railroad
shops at this place burned. The fire
apparently started in the stationary
engine room and the wind, blowing
hard from the northwest, soon con-

were doomed before the city fire
alarm was sounded, but the fire lad
dies reached the scene in time to, with
the aid of the shop men, succeed in
saving the round house, paint shop,
store house, and CIR and other sheds
and the storekeeper's office.

INDEPENDENT STEAMSHIP COM
PANY CRUSHED.
KEEPS FREIGHT RATE HIGH
Iahoma City Are Chief Witnesses
at Interstate Commerce Com
mission Hearing.

Kansas CITY, M0.-AS long as the
railroads control steamship lines that
carry freight between New York anu
Galveston, the southwest cannot hope
for a speedy adjustment OF freight
rates that will put that country on
footing with the favored Missouri
river points.
This and the fact that the railroads
put out of business the Lone Star
Steamship company, an Independent
carrier, by refusing to handle their
shipments north from Galveston, were
the features of the hearing before
Judge C. A. Prouty of the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
The petition is brought by the
Southwestern Shippers Traffic asso-
citation in their plea for equitable
freight rates by use of the Galveston
gateway
Crushed Steamships out.
]. H. Johnson, manager of the Ok
lahoma City Transportation associa-
ton, was on the stand all afternoon.
He was examined by H. H. Haines of
the Galveston Traffic ass 'iation rel
alive to the control of steamship Ines
by railroads and declared that through
rates on all freight going to south
west territory from New York to Gal
weston was equally divided by the
Morgan and Mallory steamship lines
and their roads. He stated that when
the Lone Star company attempted to
compete they were allowed but two
per cent of the rate and were finally
forced out of business. This company
has reorganized, but the railroad COM
panies refuse to accord them the same
proportion of the through rate as the
other lines are now getting. Thls
company, known as the Texas Steam.
ship company, now carries freight
from New York to Galveston for rs
cents per hundred.
BY Wichita Man.
John L. Powell of Wichita, pres!-
dent of the Johnston,Larimer Dry
NOOuo COMPANY, anu dls'O VI IuC SLip-
pers' association, which files the petit
ton, was the first witness called.
In a preliminary statement, he said
that it costs no more to ship freight
from the Gulf of Mexico to a city In
the southwest, based on the cost of
service, than it costs to ship from the
Atlantic seaboard to the Missouri
river, and that he believed the south
west was entitled to reduction in
rates equal to the local freight rate
from the Missouri river to the south
west.
He stated that the struggle for
equitable rates had been going on for
ten years; that present schedules mill
tate against Wichita and Oklahoma
City, causing several large industries
to refuse to locate in either city owing
to the exorbitant freight rates.
The railroad attorneys unwittingly
gave Kansas and Oklahoma a chance
to swell up a little yesterday.
