SWITCHING CASE
Up FOR HEARING
Argument Begins Before Com
merce Commission in Cham
ber's Fight for Rates.

Argument was begun Saturday, in
Washington. before the Interstate Com
merce Commission In the case Of the
against six railroads entering the city.
growing out Of the refusal OF these
roads to absorb certain switching
charges. The hearing will be resumed
to-day. and will probably be pursued
TO conclusion
The case was formally opened In
Richmond last May. with the examina-
ton of number of Witnesses before
Examiner Boyle, of the Commerce
Commission. The hearing brought out
much evidence tending to show that
several roads named In the bill Of COM
plant violated the spirit OF the inter-
state commerce act by imposing In
Richmond certain charges for switch
ing which were not levied by them In
ether cities where similar competitive
conditions exist.
In the chambers bill Of complaint II
is charged that Richmond manufactur-
ers and shippers are handicapped by
reason Of the absorption OF the objec-
tionable charges by the railroads in
cities located IN the same general field
of competition. Thus, II il claimed.
Norfolk. Memphis, Cincinnati and other
markets catering to the Southern field
are given an unfair advantage over
Richmond.
The specific complaint IL that the
local roads impose an extra charge OF
So per car for switching freight from
one road to another. except when such
freight Is destined for points at which
the receiving road Is In competition
with the road designated by the ship
per Thus. an industry located IN
Richmond on a siding OF the Richmond.
Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad
Is taxed by that road 81 per car for
transferring to the Southern tracks
such freight as is destined, for example
10 Charlotte. n. Ca noncompetitive
point as regards the two roads
Prior to 1910 this charge was alb
sorbed by all local roads. The COM
plant is that the failure to impose a
similar tax in cities in competition with
Richmond has the effect OF raising the
freight rates from this city and thus
handicaps local shippers.

SURVIVORS OF THE
 WRECKED OAKLAND

The survivors of the wrecked Oak land, now aboard the Yukon enroute to Seattle tell very interesting story of the disaster from which they were fortunate enough to escape with their lives.
 The Oakland was formerly under command of Capt, c. w. Gustavson, but he was accidentally drowned while hunting ducks in a small boat off the mouth of the Alseck river two months ago.
 The little boat put to sea with the former mate, Gus Sutherland, as cap tain, A. Cleary, chief engineers, B. straaton first assistant engineer, l.. Beson, sailor, and Matamata, cook. The vessel had a cargo of 500 cases of salmon.
 While om Dry bay Oct. 2S, with a heavy sea running and the wind driving a thick fall of snow they struck the bar hard.
 Fortunately the tide was just turn ing ebb at the time or they would have had no chance as the seas broke all over the vessel.
 When the water had receded some what they made their way to the can. nery After a four-day mush they reaced Yakutat, Here they waited 43 days anxiously waiting for ship and for an opportunity to send word of their safety to friends and rela- lives.

Denver. Nov. 19.-M. A. Root, men,
Der of a Denver tobacco firm, was
shot and seriously wounded at his
home by a man he says he recognized

James Divinney. He had Divinney
arrested and he was sentenced to the
penitentiary. At that time, Root de-
clares, Divinney swore vengeance.
