RAILWAY RATES HEARING.

Presentation of evidence in the rate
hearing before tho Interstate Commerce
Commission was concluded in Chicago. Ar
euments VIII be heard by the commission
al Washington on December II, and after
celebration il viii announce what will be
probably the most important decision ever
coming from it. In q general way the ar
gument presented by the railroads was that
increased rates were necessary for these
reasons: l. Increased wages to employees :;
=. increased cost Of maintenance and oper-
elton; ,, public demand for increased eff
cheney and expansion of transportation IA
cilities. The position taken by the ship
pers was that the railroads were receiving
3 generous return on their actual invest
rnent, and that the neagre earnings shown
iii the statistics presented were due more to
overcapitallzation than TO low rates. Dur
ing examination Stanley H. Johnson, AS
sistant freight traffic manager of the Rock
Island road, admitted that no general ad-
valces in rates were made by the rail-
roads without agreement with their com
petitors-
''Twenty-nine counts were returned
against the Hooking Valley Railroad by
tie federal grand jury in Toledo, which was
called 10 consider charges of discrimination
against the road growing out Of its connec-
ton with the Sunday Creek Coal Company.
Should these indictments be sustained and
the maximum penalty imposed, the Hooking
Valley viii be subject TO fine Of $500, 900.
The case IS one Of the most important ever
brought 10 the attention of the federal gov
ernment, as there IS involved in it the ques-
ton Of whether q railroad can demand cash
payment for freight from one OF it's ship
peTs and extend unlimited credit TO another.
Naming the Grea. Northern and twenty
seven other railroads as defendants, the

BREAD WINS OVER CAKE.

Bread as necessity won a qualified
victory over cale luxury In a rats de-
c,sion which the Interstate Commerce Com-
mission announced in the case Of the Oak
Grove Farm Creamery, OF Boston, against
the Adams Express Company and others.
The creanery's contention that cake should
have as low q transportation rate as bread
denied. The commission says that
bread is necessity Of life and an article
OF universal consumption, and the defend
ants may therefore properly apply 20 it a
somewhat lower rate.
After winning d fight for lower freight
rates by TWO yearL constant effort, West
ern shippers are TO be pushed back to their
starting point through action taken by the
railroads, as the limit of the Interstate
Commerce Commissions control on these

fence OF the Panama Canal The bay is
perfectly defensible, capable Of containing
a feet OF any size, and possesses all of the
requirements Of a first-class naval base
that might be established without great
expense. Through an agreement with the
Republic Of Cuba the United States holds
certain tracts on the island for use as naval
stations. One is at Guantanamo Bay, in
the province of Santiago. in the southeast

a naval force could guard the Windward
Channel between Cuba and Hayti, and the
other is at Bahia Honda, fifty miles west
