room, where all of his friends at the
funeral could look down upon his dead
body. Undertaken G. T. Sullivan se-
cured the old fashioned coffin and the
diving mans wishes will be carried

children Of HIS neighborhood in relat-
ing stories of the. slavery days He

REVISION OF
low A RATES
IS DEMANDED
ATTORNEY GENERAL. FILES TEN
COMPLAINTS WITH INTER-
STATE COMMERCE COMMISSION
AGAINST RAILROADS.

Des Moines, Aug. 5.-Attorney Gen
eral Byers today forwarded ten com
plants to the interstate commerce
commission demanding the revision o.
the interstate rates in Iowa.
The actions are divided into three
classes, the first relating to the pro
portional class rates and directed
against the seven largest roads operat
ing in the state: the second relating
to commodity rates and is against al
roads in the state, and the third re
lating to local shipments.
The fling of these actions precipi
tates battle, which, II won by the
state, will mean the saving OF millions
Of dollars to shippers.
The action Is based or the amend
ment made by the last congress to the
act to regulate commerce, such amend.
ment providing that no more shall
be charged as a true rate than is the
aggregate of the intermediate rates
This amendment becomes effective
Aug II. The action charges that Iowa
is Disseminated against by reason OF
through rates from uoints in Illinois
and the east being higher than the ag-
gregate of the intermediate uoints.
The roads affected in the first class
are the Rock Island, Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul, Burlington, Great
Western, Illinois Central, Iowa Cen.
stral and Northwestern.
Numerous instances of where the
present tariffs Of these roads make
this excessive and unlawful charge,
are cifpd IN tho rOro nj a }ptc
For instance, shipment of shoes
from Cincinnati to Des Moines is
made at rate Of eighty-three cents,
which is made up of two rates, forty
one cents from Cincinnati to Rock
Island and forty.two cents from Rock
Island to Des Moines. The local rate
from Rock Island to Des Moines, how
ever, is but thirty-six cents. This, II
added to the forty-one cent rate from
Cincinnati to Rock Island, makes "a
total rate Of seventy-seven cents, or
less than the through rate charged by
the railroad. This, it is charged, is
undisputably a violation Of the amend.
nlent made by congress and the inter
state commission is asked to cor
rect 1t.
All Roads Defendants.
In the cases dealing with the pro.
rorticnal commodity rates, all roads
operating in the state are made de-
PENDANTS. These commodity rates are
charged to be simply unfair and dis
criminatory.
An example set forth in the COM
plaint is as follows: the rate on
asphalt from East Burlington to Des
Moines is 71z cents per hundred
pounds, and the same rates go clear
across the state to the Missouri river.
In other words shipment of asphalt
could be sent to Omaha as cheap as to
Des Moines.
The city of Des Moines is not the
only one in the state to suffer by this
tariff, it is charged, but all cities are
affected in the same manner and have
the same complaint.
