RAILROADS STILL
 GIVING REBATES
That Is the Declaration Made by Frank C. Lowery Before the Sugar Trust Invcsti-
 gation.

Washington, July i4.-Railroads give, or are still forced to give, re- bates to big corporations to the detriment of small concerns, de- clared Frank c. Lowry, of New York, general salesman for the Fed eral Sugar Refining Company, be- fore the sugar trust investigat- ing committee today. In explana- ton of his charge, MT. Lowry said his company did not receive al- lowance for lighterage in New York harbor, as, he alleged, the sugar trust does. MT. Lowry will con- tinue his testimony tomorrow.
 Frank l.. Neale, a Philadelphia shipping agent, testified that while uniform rates are in operation, big concerns with ''inside information about intended charges in rates, or which received advantages in the shape of drayage put smaller deal CTS under a handicap.
 Rates are so complicated" he said, that a big concern like the American Sugar Refining Company must employ a rate expert at $25,- GOO year to work out rates, or all | it's directors would go to jail for violating the interstate commerce laws"
 Representative Fordney of Mich igan suggested that any wide-awake person would know about proposed changes in rates.
 Yes" added Representative Baker of California. The same kind of wide-awake fellows have been cheating the public for 20 to 25 years"

GATHERING EARLY APPLES.
One Orchardist Sells 300 Barrels
 From Five Acres for $f,200.

Rogers, July i4.--Local orchard men are harvesting their early ap- pIes and putting them on the mar ket at fancy prices. The crop was cut short by the recent drouth, but where there are so many trees, as is the case around Rogers, it looks to the uninitiated to be an enor- nous crop. A. M. Irelan, who owns a 90~acre orchard near Rogers, has just sold and gathered the apples from his five-acre block of Duchess which yielded 300 barrels, for which he received S4 per barrel. The Duchess is an early apple and the trees yield fairly well every year. The recent rains have caused all varieties of apples to take on a fine growth, and the crop is much better than was expected some weeks ago.
 The corn crop is very promising. and with another good rain the yield in this section of the country will be above the average.

 X party of Maderists, who lied from the bull ring last night, after stiff fight with the federals, cut the Inter-oceanic railroad at Fab rico de Matienzo, took possession of train and proceeded to San Martin, 25 miles to the north, to secure rifles and ammunition, with the avowed intention to return and re- new the attack
 Fired Into Bath Barracks. Last nights fight, according to witnesses, was provoked by three men, one of whom was said to be a son of former Governor Mucio Martinez. who passed tho bull ring where the Maderists were quarter ed and fired into the place and into the barracks of the zaragoza bat talion of state troops opposite.
 The fire was taken up by both sides, each thinking the other haC started the trouble. The fight was bloody, and among the dead. whC are said to number more than 40 were several women and a fedora lieutenant colonel. Noises Breton The affair is laid by the revolu- tionists at the door of the Gienti- ficos, who are said to have arranged the details in advance and calcu- lated upon the effect of the pre- liminary shooting.
 Another Version of Cause.
 By others the clash is said tC have been provoked by an attacl by drunken revolutionists upon tn, penitentiary, with the intention ts liberate the prisoners.
 | At the first volley last night th, state troops came out of their quar- ters, but were driven back by tho revolutionists. The latter kept uI a spasmodc fire for hours until tho Twenty-ninth battalion of federal' were ordered to go to their relief.
 The federals carried q machine gun, which was brought into ac- tion, and before which the Nader ists fled into the hills. The federal: were sent in pursuit of them today
