The num- Der of formal complaints filed was 755. a decrease of 126, as compared with the previous year; ITS cases were disposed of, an increase of 126. The commission conducted 1,154 hearings as compared with 943 the previous year and took 125,0OO pages of testimony.
 The investigation of rates and prac tices of express companies, which, the report says, " is probably the most inn portant single piece of work ever done by the commission was practically concluded during the year. As re- suit" says the commission, it ap- Inn Dafi inn Af express companies were utterly ineX- cusable, that their methods were arch aic and their rates discriminatory and unreasonable. The report of the com mission has worked a revolution and renovation in the methods and rates of express companies"
 Similar investigations, it is indicated are in progress of substitution of ton mage in transit. allowances to terminal roads. weighing of freight issuing of passes, bills of lading, private cars, rates on anthracite coal and other i'm portant transportation matters.

The report indicates the belief of the commission that addition al legislation to insure safety of rail- way travel may be necessary, but on that subject the commission is not prepared to make a definite recom- mendatiOn.

Missourian Delegation at-Large is
Awarded to Ex.President
Without Dissension
National Committee Decides Cen
test Of Rival North Caro-.
lima Factions

Chicago, Juno 13.--E Eight dele
gates for Roosevelt and eighteen for
President Taft marked the days
gains for the two chief rivals for the
Republican presidential nomination,
from the decision of the contest
cases by the National Committee. In
addi ton the committee settled dis
putes between rival Roosevelt fac
tions in two districts of North Caro-
lima, thus clearing the Colonels to-
tai vote from these sections.
1t was q day of Roosevelt victory
but victory achieved with the full
acquiescence of the Taft majority on
the National Committee.
Missouri's contest, which threat
ened another battle between the
Taft and Roosevelt factions, in which
the lines would be closely drawn,
was compromised so effectively that
the committee was unanimous in Civ
ing Roosevelt eight and Taft six Of
the 2ont, sted delegates From that
state.
The decisions today were:
For Taft.
Two each from the second, third,
fourth, sixth, seventh and eighth
Mississippi districts,
Two each from the third, seventh
and fourteenth Missouri.
Total, IS.
For Roosevelt
Four delegates-at-larg from Mis-
souri,, two each from the first and
fifth Missouri.
Two each from the third and
ninth North Carolina.
Total, IL.
At the end of a week of constant
work over the contested delegations
the committee had given President
Taft a total of 159 and Col. Roose-
welt a total of 13. In the ninth
North Carolina district the commit
tee seated the McNinch-Greene dele
cation, but the contest did not in
volye presidential candidates, as
both delegates were instructed for
Roosevelt.
In the Missouri cases as soon as
Hadley's Roosevelt delegation had
been seated, conferences were under
taken among the Missouri faction,
which resulted in the dividing of
the contesting delegations between
Roosevelt and Taft. Similar con-
ferences are expected to result in
the consolidation of several other
state cases, before the committee re-
sumes tomorrow.

Interstate Commerce Body Orders
Is Companies to File Sched-
ules for Rates
MUST COMPLY With LAW
Changing Ownership in Each State
Does Not Change the Charc-
ter Of Traffic
MUST COMPLY WITH LAW

Washington, June 12-The Inter
state Commerce Commission today
held that pipe line companies trans
porting oil between the states are
common carriers, with the obllga-
tions Of such, and ordered Is Of tht
| largest oil pipe lines to file schedules
of rates by Sept l.. and to comply
with the provisions of the interstate
commerce act.
1t is the conclusion of the commls-
sion that Congress, in designating oil
pipe lines as common carriers,
meant precisely what was said in the
statute. The commission holds:
That the obligations Of common
carrier are impressed on a pipe line
engaged in the transportation of OIL
in interstate commerce, even though
such pipe line was built over its pri
yately acquired right of way ana
transports only It's own Oil
State Law Not Effective.
That such traffic is not divesteo
of its interstate asaracter by placin
the ownership ef the pine sine u
different corporations In eaehs stat,
through which transportation passe
or by transferring title to the oil (
each Of such corporations as the oil
enters the pipes of that corporation
That no state statute declaring
pipe lines to be common carriers ca.
be effective, because If the Federal
act is ineffective a similar statute o.
an individual state Is of no avail.
That a pipe line is not common
carrier merely because it utilizes thC
right of way of a common carrier
railroad.
