FREIGHT RATE HEARING
JUDGE BROWN OPENS SESSION
IN NEW YORK.
Declares Railroads Shall Have Jus.
tice On the Basis Of What
Is Proved.

NEW YORK, August 15.-"If the car
riers can prove that they are entitled to
an advance. they ought to have it, de-
elared Judge G. NJ. Brown. chief ex-
aminer OF the interstate commerce COM
mission. IF 1t can be proved that they
are not entitled thereto, they should be
denied"
With this fiat statement Judge Brown
opened the hearing here today into the
questions of increases In freight rates
in the territory north OF the Ohio and
Potomac and east OF the Mississippi
rivers. The railroads have asked for
increases averaging 16 per cent, which,
1t was figured. would cause an advance
of half q billion dollars in freight rates
for the affected territory. Judge Brown
made II clear that no undue haste or de-
lays would be permitted. that the COM
mission desired facts, and both oral
testimony and statistical exhibits would
be allowed, and then told the counsel for
the carriers that the burden of proof in
the matter remained with the railroads.
Counsel for the railroads and shippers
finally obtained an adjournment until
September Z, when testimony will be
taken.
After the testimony of the railroads
has been submitted the shippers will be
given an opportunity to examine II and
present testimony in contravention.
Judge Brown stated that the western
hearing In the trans Missouri case would
be held August 70 in Chicago.

GRABBING INDIAN LANDS

One Nan Started Without Capital

Millions at Stake.

SULPHUR, Okla. August 15.-"Every
inch Of land owned by Indians Is looked
upon as the legitimate prey Of the land
grabbers."
This statement was made today by .
member OF the committee appointed by
the House of Representatives to investi-
gate Indian land contracts. Besides the
charges of Senator T. B. Gore that he
was offered q $4,000 bribe 70 boost the
McMurray contracts in Congress. the
committee Is inquiring into Indian land
contracts.
Some Of the land grabbers' schemes
certainly will be called to the attention OF
Congress-" said q committeeman
One man We have learned has become
rich. He kept . list OF Indians who owned
allotted land. Whenever an Indian died
he rushed into court, had a guardian ap-
pointed and with the connivance of the
guardian demanded that the land be sold
under a ridiculously low valuation for a
few hundred dollars. He has bouglis

only one of many. starting with no CAPT.

paid the Indians no adequate compensa-

From the Kansas CITY Journal
Judge Clark A. Smith told a good story
TO several OF the class. who were visiting
with him. The story Is an old one, as the
Judge states, but the youngsters enjoyed
IL thoroughly.
In the old days when oral examinations
were still the thing an examining board
Was pummeling an applicant with
questions from Blackstone. Kent and
other famous legal lights.
Il didn't study anything about those fel-
lows" complained the applicant.
What did you study asked one Of
the judges
Il studied the statutes OF the state >
he replied. Il studied them hard Ask
me a question about them and I'll show
YOU That is where ! got my legal
knowledge"
My young friend said one austere
judge on the examining board. you had
better be very careful. for some day the
legislature might meet and repeal every
thing you know"
