ALEXANDRIA STARTS
INVESTIGATION INTO
RATES ON FREIGHT
Charges on Shipments to
Nearby Points Are Claim
ed to Be Excessive.
WASHINGTON TIMES BUREAU,
ALEXANDRIA, VA, JULY II.

Freight rates between this city,
Fairfax and intermediate points, as
we'll as TO points on the Rappahan-
mock river, were discussed at a
meeting of the chamber of commerce

made considerable complaint as to
the alleged excessive prices charged
on shipments to these points, and the
chamber proposes to make an ex-
hausttve inquiry into the situation
with a view to finding a remedy.
A resolution was adopted, calling
the attention of the merchants to
the alarming prevalence of vagrancy
now existing in the city, a special
committee being appointed to investi-
gate.
Thanks were extended to a directory
company of Richmond for donation
of city directories. An appropriation
was made for a suitable case to con-
tain these directories

WANTS EGGS SOLD BY POUND.
Elmo Man Says That is One Reform
Legislature Should Make.

Legislation in behalf Of the farm
err whose hens lay big eggs, accord
ing to w. A. Mourer Of Elmo, is of
more Importance than two-thirds OF
the weird proposals now under con-
sideration by the lawmakers at To-
peka. Mr.. Mourer was in the city
today and made the Reflector a
pleasant call.
ut isn't fair" he said, that a
little spingling egg should sell for
as much as great big one, and
selling eggs by the dozen Is about
as sensible as selling beef steak
by the chunk. It wouldn't cost the
consumer any more II they were
sold by weight, and It would afford
some long-delayed justice to the fell
low whose hens lay big eggs-like
mine"

The bill relating to the admission
Of foreign corporations to do busi-
ness in Kansas, already passed by
the senate, has been passed by the
house. The bill was prepared by
the secretary Of state, Charles SEES

between foreign corporations and his
office. The bill must go back to
the senate for concurrence in the
house amendments. The senate will
probably concur In the amendments,
and 1t is expected that the bill will
become law this week. After this,
when a foreign corporation wants
to be admitted, 1t must make show

The senate subcommittee on rail-
rrads has completed the draft of the
new public utilities bill, which is
supposed to combine the desirable
features Of both the administration
and Democratic utility bills. The
new bill creates a board of three
members, to be appointed by the
governor, and gives to the board
the same control over all state pub
lie utilities that the present railroad
commission has over the railroad.

There has been much talk the last
few years about securing physical
valuations Of railroad property. The
public utilities bill. branded with
the administration brand, provides
for making a physical valuation Of
railroad property. But Representa-
tive Laidlaw Of Woodson county has
introduced bill in the house which
would compel the railroad companies
to make their own physical valua-
tion and file 1t with the state board
OF railroad commissioners. He would
require the railroad companies to
rlace a value upon every item of
property, make statement. swear
to 1t and file it with the state, for
use in the liking Of rates.
