Washington, Dec. 2.-After an ex-
haustive review of the efforts OF the
Florida railroad commission to regu-
late the reasonableness of inter-
state rates applying to the movement
cf traffic into and out OF the state,
the Interstate Commerce Commission
day rendered an opinion favorable
r. the Florida Fruit and Vegetable
shippers association against the Al
lantic Coast Line and the railroad
commission of Florida against the
Scaboard Air Line.
The whole case is substantially
set out in the finding and order oi
the commission as follows:
From the facts disclosed by the
record held that the rates upon
pineapples, citrus fruits and vegeta-
bles which would result from the ap-
plication of the distance tariff given
in the report herein upon the line
of the Florida East Coast Railway
Company the Atlantic Coast Line
Railroad company and the Seaboard
Air Line railway from points In
Florida up to Jacksonville, when
destined to points beyond In othei
states. would be just and reasonable
that they ought not to be exceeded
for the future and that the presen'
rates of those carriers are unjust
and unreasonable to the extent tha'
they exceed such rates.
These cases being at issue upon
complaints and answers on lille anc
having been duly heard and submit

cation of the matters and things in
yolyed having been had and th'
commission being of the opinion
that the present rates on pineapple

shaker case Friday night they re-
turned a regular indictment marked

Judge Price had the report confirm
I'd showing no Indictment.
Saturday States Attorney Jones
gave notice that he would make Il
motion to have the court hold the
defendants until the spring term oi
court, when another grand jury can
investigate the ease. This motion
will be argued this afternoon at ;
o'clock. The state attorney said
that a report of the analysis OF the
poisoned woman's stomach was not
before the grand jury and was only
TO be used as rcbuttal evidence III
the trial of the ease.
Gillette has not been released
from custody as reported and is in
Jail here. If Judge Price sustains
the report Of the state attorney. Gil
lette will not be liberated for a,
least six months. The action of the
grand jury came as a distinct sur
prise. Many believed the Shakers
would be acquitted by a petit jury
az the trial, but all agreed the grand
jury would indict them.
