wichita Shippers Complain.

The public utilities commission is
today hearing the complaints of stock
shippers in the Wichita district who
complain because OF the rates on live
stock to the Wichita market over the
lines Of the Missouri Pacific. Tes-
timony in the case will probably be
concluded this evening.
Shippers in a number of southern
Kansas towns have complained be-
cause of the alleged excessive freight
rates to the Wichita stock markets.
These Complaints have been made in
the form of comparative tariff sched-
ules OF the several roads hauling live
stock to Wichita and it is charged
that the rates exacted by the Missouri
Pacific are unjust and unreasonable.
The Missouri Pacific, however is not
inclined to reduce its Wichita rates
and an order from the utilities COM
mission will be necessary to settle the
controversy.
